Chapter 23 Long-term Plan
The reason why Wen Mingqian did not make the matter a big deal was, of course, not simply to calm things down, but because of long-term considerations, he could not do this.
Even if this matter goes to the officials today, it will be found that it was the Song family who instigated it, but because no one was hurt in the end, the government will not punish anyone.
This matter can only be regarded as a scandal and has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Gong Xu would not blame Mrs. Song for this, he would think that it was understandable that Mrs. Song would take some drastic actions to avenge the loss of her son.
On the contrary, the Gong family would blame Wen Mingqian for this, thinking that she would bring shame to the family as soon as she came back and make outsiders laugh. You must know that the most important thing for the Gong family is face.
The Song family has the support of her brother and Gong Xu, but Wen Mingqian has no one to rely on.
And Gong Xu will definitely use this as a reason to ask Mrs. Gong to speak and drive him out of the house again.
So Wen Mingqian must not let the situation escalate. She must first establish herself in the Gong family, and then slowly plan for it.
Wu and Cui Mingzhu naturally did not expect this. They simply thought that Wen Mingqian was a tolerant person who wanted to make big things as small as possible.
"Second Miss Cui, wipe your tears," Wen Mingqian handed over his handkerchief, "It's not too much for the young lady and I to want to understand each other, right?"
Cui Baozhu was gone at this time. There was no way out, and Wen Mingqian had given herself a step, but she was still a little worried and asked: "If I tell the truth, will you definitely not investigate it further or spread it?"
"Don't worry, we Do what you say." Wen Mingqian said firmly.
"Stop being so nagging, didn't I promise you already?" Wu rolled her eyes impatiently.
"Okay, let me tell you," Cui Baozhu wiped away her tears and said, "it was your little lady's companion, Mrs. Yang, who found me and asked me to do this.
She said she would take advantage of today's banquet to embarrass you, madam. In this way, you won't be able to find a place in the house. When you are kicked out, this place will still be their little lady's world.
As you know, Mrs. Song and I have always been on good terms. I'm also young and can't stand someone's kind words. I always feel that I should go to all lengths for my friends. Since she asked me for help, I really can’t bear to refuse..."
"It is indeed her! Naturally, Mrs. Wu had already thought of Mrs. Song, "She knows best what's wrong with my son, but I treat her as a human being and she actually plotted against me!" "
Wu hates Cui Baozhu in her heart, but she hates Song Xiulian even more. No one wants to be framed, let alone what they want to harm is their own heart and soul.
"I have made everything clear. "Yes, I also know what I did was wrong," Cui Baozhu regretted, "Please forgive me!" I will never dare to do it again. ”
"Miss Cui Er, you are still young, and sometimes it is inevitable that you cannot tell the difference between real and fake people. This time is also a great blessing among misfortunes. We will not pursue you and keep the secret for you. I hope you will be kind and take the right path in the future and don't do wrong things again. "Wen Mingqian knew that Cui Baozhu was used as a weapon by the Song family, which was hateful and pitiful.
I hope that after this incident, she will stay away from the Song family and will no longer be used by her.
To eliminate the opponent's helpers, you don't necessarily have to put them to death. A better result would be to split them up or even win them over to your side.
"Thank you, Second Madam." Cui Baozhu nodded towards Wen Mingqian, "I will remember this favor of yours, and I will not go back to the table. See you another day!"
< br>After saying that, she turned around and went out.
"Little madam, thank you for your presence today," Wen Mingqian turned around to express his gratitude to Mrs. Wu, "I almost caused the prince to be frightened, and I feel really sorry."
"I don't blame you, thank you for your son's cleverness ." Wu said, "I just took advantage of those two bitches! When I meet Song Xiulian someday, I will definitely question her face to face." "Young lady is so quick to talk, how could I have thought that people's hearts would be so dirty?" Wen Mingqian lowered his eyes, "It's not too early. Come on, let’s take a seat quickly!”
When they returned, the table was already set.
Wen Mingqian said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for everyone. It's all because of my poor hospitality. I punished myself with three drinks before the banquet started. Please forgive me for my neglect!"
After talking, he drank three glasses of wine.
Wu made peace and said: "No wonder the second lady, it's all my fault. I held the second lady back because I asked her for some advice. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine."
Everyone at the banquet saw the situation and knew that there was something hidden here, so they didn't ask any more questions and just laughed and passed by.
“Today’s dinner is really good,” said Mrs. Jiang Xia Hou. “The combination of meat and vegetables is fragrant and delicious, and it suits my taste very well.”
“Thank you, madam, for your compliments. Don't be polite, I asked someone to write down everything you like to eat, and I will definitely invite you again when I have the opportunity." Wen Mingqian's face became brighter after drinking wine, and he looked even more radiant.
For a time, people were drinking wine, laughing and talking, and it was like a picture of a spring banquet.
When the banquet was over, the cups and plates were removed from the table and replaced with tea.
At this time, a guest is leaving.
"Wait a minute, everyone, I have a small gift for you." As soon as Wen Mingqian finished speaking, several little girls came up with red trays, and there were some bottles and cans in them. What is installed.
“Thank you all for taking the time to show your appreciation. I am so grateful that I don’t know what to do. These are the balms and balms I made by myself. I know that you all use good things on daily basis, so I seem a bit shabby. . But it’s kind of a thought, just keep it for wiping your hands or giving it as a reward.”
"Sister, you are too modest. I used the bottle you gave me last time for a few days, and everyone praised me for looking good!" Liu Cuiyi said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to ask you for more. ! This time I’m in everyone’s favour.”
“It’s weird! I just said that Grandma Zhou’s face looks much whiter and more delicate than usual,” said the sharp-eyed person immediately.
“I saw that the second wife’s skin was so fragile that it could be broken by a blow, and I wondered how the frosty place in Shuangxi could maintain it so well? It turns out that there is a treasure!”
Everyone then started to express their concern. He happily accepted Wen Mingqian's gift.
Then they left one after another, and Wen Mingqian sent them all to the door one by one.
The young prince of the Feng family refused to leave, so he pulled Gong Changan and asked him to follow him back.
"Your Majesty, I don't mind. I will go with my mother to your house to visit you someday!" Gong Changan helped her mother to make connections. "There are things at home today, so it's not convenient for me to go there."
" What about the sworn vows?" Feng Tianzhu still held on to him and refused to let go.
"Sworn sworn vows are a big deal, and they must be done by both parents. My mother naturally agrees. The prince should go back and ask the Duke and his wife!" Gong Changan said, "I have a gift here. I gave it to you, I made it myself.”
As expected, Feng Tianzhu got a novel gadget, so he didn’t stop dragging Gong Changan.
"Second Madam, when you get free time, you must bring the Fourth Young Master to our house." Mrs. Wu knew her son's temper. If the uterus was not removed in a few days, he would definitely make trouble.
