Chapter 105: Melting
The lively atmosphere of the New Year has lasted until the ninth day of the new year, the red lanterns in front of each house have been replaced with colorful colors, the tenth day of the first month, it is the annual spring meeting of the imperial palace, even if the emperor stands on the palace wall and can not see the colorful colors of Huicheng, but the people from all over the country should also share this joyful atmosphere with the students who enter the palace to meet the emperor.
But the Wang family is different, not to mention the lively atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, the whole house is lifeless, and it exudes a decadent atmosphere. It's the silence that comes with being extremely excited.
Originally, the father and son of the Wang family negotiated the grain business, and they should be proud, but the incident happened suddenly, the Chamber of Commerce finished checking the accounts, and waited for the grain merchant to come to the door to agree on the supply in February, and waited for several days, but did not wait for anyone, and when Wang Kun looked for it, he found that the grain merchant was gone!
What to do? All the money was given, but the people ran away! How could the people of the Chamber of Commerce let go of the Wang family father and son? After a few days of trouble, if it weren't for Lin Dongyue's maneuvering, I am afraid that the entire Wang family would have changed hands.
Wang Kun hid in the room and didn't dare to come out, Xiyuan stayed outside the door all day long, she was more like a lady than Hui Niang, Shang Ting looked at Xiyuan's anxious but overwhelmed look from afar, and almost laughed, and now the appearance of the Wang family made her feel a little relaxed.
After a while, a master and a servant arrived outside the courtyard where she used to live, Shang Ting was a little excited, she was disgusted with this gate before, because of her disgust, Wang Yanchang often lived elsewhere, but now, the person she hated the most lived in the courtyard she hated the most, and she wanted to destroy everything here, and she felt relieved to think about it.
Shang Ting walked in slowly, stepping on the familiar masonry step by step, here, it was once her father who invited a good craftsman to carefully renovate it in order not to let her be wronged, but no matter how good things fell into the Wang family, they were all stained with bad luck, and she couldn't wait to destroy them all.
"Madame is back?" A little girl ran in from the moon gate next to her, holding the steaming decoction in both hands, even if the fragrance of plum blossoms wafted throughout the courtyard, it couldn't cover the bitterness of this bowl of decoction.
Xiliang stretched out his hand to take it and said, "You go back to the young lady to serve." ”
The little girl frowned and said, "The young lady didn't let the slaves and maids into the courtyard, and assigned the slaves and maids to Sister Xiyuan's subordinates." ”
"Then you go outside the courtyard and keep guard, and say that Madame is back, don't let them come in and disturb you." Kira said.
The little girl nodded and hurriedly ran out. Xiliang smiled slightly: "The young lady is really good, she actually wants to be in charge of the family?" ”
Shang Ting's face turned cold and went to the bedroom. Kira threw the medicine bowl against the wall and followed.
The sound of the porcelain bowl breaking made Wang Yanchang open his eyes, he coughed a few times, and said hoarsely: "Why are you so careless!" I'll pour you a glass of water, sir! ”
The house is deserted, where can anyone answer? Wang Yanchang struggled to sit up, and said unhappily: "It's getting more and more presumptuous!" Seeing that the Wang family was caught for a while, he was angry, and when the master and I relieved myself, I will definitely drive out all these lowly people. ”
He touched a coat and just put it on, and when he turned around, he saw Shang Ting standing at the door, it was cloudy outside, so that the room was a little dark, but Shang Ting was standing in the only light, his face was solemn, and his eyes were dead, he was startled, and sat on the bed with weak feet. "You... Why did you come back without saying a word! ”
He also thought that Shang Ting was coming back to help the Wang family turn over, touched his heart, raised his hand and said, "Pour me a glass of water first." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?" Shang Ting said coldly.
Wang Yanchang shook his head and said, "Are you crazy? Do you want to murder your husband! ”
"You really make me believe in this ghostly appearance, where do you have the courage to harm people? has lived a lifetime with the appearance of benevolence and righteousness, but he is not even as good as his own son, and now he has ended up in this fate, which is reasonable. ”
"What do you mean? Didn't you come back to help me? It's back to see my joke! ”
Shang Ting sneered: "No, I just want to see you die with my own eyes." ”
"What?" Wang Yanchang was stunned.
"You have no talent and no virtue, how dare you want me to be your wife? Now that the wood is complete, I have also accepted my fate, why don't you treat me well? You can tell the truth, for the sake of husband and wife, I will also ask the merchant to help you, but you shouldn't lie to me, hide me, and use me! Originally, I didn't want to do anything to the Wang family, all of this is your own fault. ”
"What the hell did I do? Make you hate me so much? ”
Until now, Wang Yanchang is still avoiding it, Shang Ting has long expected that he is a master of Taixue, and he is used to pretending to be profound on weekdays, and he treats everyone else as a fool. "Who says I hate you? I only hope you will suffer in the eighteen layers of hell. ”
"You..." Wang Yanchang's face turned pale, he really couldn't imagine that Shang Ting, who was usually demure and quiet, would say such vicious words, even if he knew that Shang Ting was arrogant and could not afford to look down on the Wang family, but he had been in peace for so many years. "What my son said is true, I should not have given you this child!"
"My child, what does it have to do with you? His surname is Shang, not Wang! ”
"How dare you do that!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Speaking of boldness, who can compare you and Wang Kun now? If this matter is not pressed by the county magistrate, those merchants who have been cheated by you will go to Xiyue City to complain, Lord Wang, don't forget, you have provoked the fight between the two princesses of the county palace for no reason, so that the former princess died not long ago, if the prince knew that you were the initiator, how would he execute you? When the time comes, not to mention your father and son, even the entire Wang family, I am afraid that it will be wiped out. ”
Wang Yanchang panicked, how could Shang Ting know about the county prince's mansion? "Don't talk nonsense! What does the death of the Chu Pavilion Master have to do with me! ”
"Does it matter, isn't it all based on one mouth? If you say it's okay, others will believe it, why? Then I also said that in order to help Wang Kun, you actually wanted to pull the county magistrate into the water, which is simply crazy! ”
"Will others believe your slander?"
"Do you think those merchants care about the truth? Wang Yanchang, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, don't you want to know where Wang Yanlin is? Now your father and son are like trapped beasts, why doesn't he, his own brother and uncle, come to solve the problem for you? It's not that he doesn't know what you've done, but he doesn't want to be implicated by you, and he has left his resignation letter missing. ”
"Impossible!" Wang Yanchang naturally did not believe it, Wang Yanlin was his own brother, although he had been unhappy before, but during the New Year's Festival, they still had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together and discussed the plan to open the spring together, how could he leave?
"He used to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally knows more about Chen Chang than you, and the trouble now is not a matter of five million silver, it is a matter of life, and he is not stupid, why not run?"
"How do you know ... His name is Chen Chang? Cold sweat broke out instantly, Wang Yanchang's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he coughed violently.
Shang Ting said with a smile: "Because the real name he told you is fake, there is no such person in this world at all, as long as the merchant goes to Xiyue City, you will only have a dead end." Your good son is now hiding in the house and crying, what should the Wang family do? ”
Wang Yanchang looked at Shang Ting straight, he had understood everything, and the blue tendons on his forehead appeared angrily, "We are all dead... Is it? Don't forget, as long as I don't divorce my wife, you will always be a member of the Wang family, and if the Wang family is in trouble, you can't hide either! ”
"Who said I should hide? Mrs. Ben's reputation cannot be ruined because of your royal family. Now... There is only one way to save the Wang family. ”
"I'm dead ... You took out the money to keep Kun'er, didn't you? ”
A few hints of a smile appeared in Shang Ting's eyes, which gradually expanded, spreading to the corners of her lips, she couldn't help laughing, turned around and said, "Guess what?" ”
