" I walked and walked alone. I didn't know the way back to the residence, and I didn't have any money on me. I just walked around aimlessly. As I walked, I actually came to a place called Qingxi Street..."
Wen Zexuan, who was originally extremely impatient, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the words 'Qingxi Street'.
"You!"
Wen Yuanyuan ignored him and continued,"There are still many kind-hearted people in this world. An old lady saw me walking around like a headless fly and asked me what was wrong.”
Wen Yuanyuan suddenly stopped talking. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. Then, she smacked her lips and wiped the water from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief. Then, she folded the handkerchief and put it away. Then, she picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, she smacked her lips and took out a handkerchief to wipe the water…
This cycle repeated, Wen Zexuan's veins were throbbing.
He wanted to urge her to continue, but he was afraid that he would make her suspicious if he was too anxious. He could only stand up and walk back and forth with his hands clenched. The more he walked, the more frustrated he became.
Wen Yuanyuan saw the change in his mood and was very happy.
Hmph, she didn't like hearing it when she said it, and she despised it time and time again. Now that she didn't want to say it, she was anxious!
How could she let herself down if she didn't keep him in suspense!
The more anxious Wen Zexuan was, the less anxious Wen Yuanyuan was.
In the end, Wen Yuanyuan won.
"Yuan 'er, then what? Tell me quickly!"
Wen Yuanyuan lifted her eyelids." Father, I thought you didn't like to hear your daughter say it. Why are you urging your daughter to say it now that your daughter has stopped?"”
"I…I'm just worried about you. You just returned to Beijing and don't know your surroundings. I'm worried that you'll meet bad people and kidnappers like when you were young.”
Wen Zexuan lied without blushing or panting.
"Father, you're thinking too much. If you met a bad person, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. Don't you think so, Father?”
Wen Zexuan choked and couldn't say anything. He only said that this was true.
After a while, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Daughter…"
From Wen Yuanyuan, to Yuan 'er, and now to his daughter, Wen Yuanyuan felt that it was extremely ironic and boring.
His interest faded a lot, and he no longer kept her in suspense. He said indifferently,"The old lady asked me if I had encountered any difficulties. I felt that the old lady was kind and didn't look like a bad person, so I told her that I was the second young lady of the Duke of Wen's Mansion. I went out with my brother to play, but I was separated by the crowd and unknowingly came here…"
"Ran, and then?"
Wen Yuanyuan laughed," What does father want to know?”
"Of, of course…Yuan 'er, don't keep me in suspense.”Wen Zexuan was about to use the word beg.
Wen Yuanyuan didn't keep him in suspense and continued.
" The old lady's reaction was very strange. She said that she often saw Father in Qingxi Street. She said that you often went in and out of Qingxi Street. I thought that it was not a government office, nor was it the residence of an official. Father, you often went in and out of there…"
Wen Yuanyuan paused and looked at him with a faint smile."Could it be that you found a little girl for your daughter?”
Bang!
Wen Zexuan was so nervous that he broke the teacup.
Seeing this, Wen Yuanyuan pretended to be puzzled and blinked." Father, what's wrong?”
Wen Zexuan's expression was very ugly," No, it's fine, it was an accident..." As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva," Yuan 'er, what you said just now..."
"Oh, I was just joking with Father.”
It was just a joke!
Wen Zexuan almost couldn't help but shout, how could this be a joke?
In the end, he held it in." I see. But don't make such jokes again in the future.”
"Yes, Father." Wen Yuanyuan obediently agreed.
"Good child, what I said to your mother just now was all out of anger. You're my daughter, and I can't wait to feel sorry for you! However, I promise you that I will never say it again.”
"Oh ~"
Seeing how obedient she was, Wen Zexuan let out a sigh of relief but he still held his breath," Did you tell your brother what you said just now…"
"I was only joking with Father." Knowing what he wanted to hear, Wen Yuanyuan readily agreed.
Upon hearing this, the hanging breath also relaxed." Yes, yes, it's a joke…"
" Although it's a joke, Father still has to explain to you that a good friend of mine lives on Qingxi Street. She's not in good health, and Father just goes to visit her often…"
"Yes, I understand."
"However, Yuan 'er, are you willing to make a small agreement with father? Only we will know about what happened just now. Can you treat it as a little secret between us father and daughter?”
"Okay ~" Wen Yuanyuan agreed again.
Seeing her so obedient, Wen Zexuan had his suspicions but he carefully observed Wen Yuanyuan's reaction and indeed couldn't see anything. He immediately gave her a lot of small toys to coax her and made her bleed.
When Wen Yuanyuan came out of the study, he was holding a box of small toys. The moment he said goodbye to Wen Zexuan and turned around, the innocence on his face disappeared and his eyes became deep and terrifying.
When he saw Madam Wang and Wen Changxian waiting not far away, he immediately put away his gloominess and put on a shallow smile.
"Are you alright, Yuan 'er? What did you and your father talk about? Did he scold you?" Madam Wang nervously pulled her daughter to look left and right. Seeing that she did not show any signs of being beaten, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mother, don't worry. Father didn't scold your daughter and even rewarded your daughter with so many small toys.”
"Really?" Wang didn't quite believe it.
"Of course it's true. Look, these are all rewards from Father.”
Sure enough, she saw that Wen Yuanyuan was holding a box filled with all kinds of small things. Her daughter was afraid that she would be worried and could lie to her, but these real things could not lie to anyone.
After appeasing Wang and Wen Changxian, Wen Yuanyuan said that he was tired and wanted to return to Yining Garden.
Madam Wang was worried and insisted on sending her back, but she was seriously rejected. She could only settle for the next best thing and let her son send her daughter back.
On the way back, Wen Changxian still asked Wen Yuanyuan worriedly, but he didn't get anything out of her. All he got was two sentences,'I'm fine, father didn't scold me'.
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to be in trouble, Wen Changxian didn't say anything more and left the residence after sending her back.
The moment the door closed, Wen Yuanyuan's expression changed. He threw the small box aside and sat there with a dark face.
Mrs. Yang went forward and poured her a glass of water." Miss, you haven't had breakfast yet. This old servant will ask Ziyuan to prepare some small wontons for you, okay?"”
"There's no need, granny, I can't eat.”
"But…"
" Granny, listen to me first. Send someone to keep an eye on Qingxi Street these few days. If I'm not wrong, Father will move the mistress away…"
