Chapter 34 Going the other way
Everyone’s eyes turned to Wen Mingqian, and Mrs. Song couldn’t help but clench her hands in her sleeves.
This is the most nervous moment since she and Wen Mingqian fought.
She knew that Wen Mingqian hated her, and this time Butler Chen was beaten to death again.
If Wen Mingqian is determined to send Chen Youde to the government to inquire about the theft of the warehouse, he will definitely call himself into court to reduce his own guilt.
At that time, his face will be disgraced, and the virtuous reputation he has worked so hard to win for a long time will be ruined.
If that is the case, what should I do?
At that time, will Gong Xu still protect him as much as before?
Even if you can, it’s inevitable that you’ll have some resentment in your heart, right?
Chen Youde was also frustrated. He felt that Wen Mingqian would never let him go.
But how can we save our lives? Will Song try his best to protect himself? Or is she also going to add insult to injury?
"Master, as long as Chen Youde explains clearly about the theft from the warehouse and hands over the stolen property, I don't plan to pursue it too much."
No one expected that Wen Mingqian would do this. The decision was not only surprising to Song, Chen Youde and others, but also to Gong Xu.
In his heart, Wen Mingqian is a person who loves to be serious and does not rub sand in his eyes.
If such a scum had appeared in the family before, she would definitely punish him severely.
What's more, the theft from the warehouse put her under great suspicion.
He frowned slightly and looked at Wen Mingqian carefully: "You really think so? Why?"
Wen Mingqian sighed lightly, lowered his head slightly and said, "It's because of Lu She had already pleaded for him in advance, and I agreed to it.
Rushi Lu said that she wanted to report Chen Youde because she didn’t want him to do any more evil.
I am also a woman, and I understand the hidden meaning of being a wife. Even if the kindness is broken, we still cannot be completely heartless.
Seeing her begging and pleading sincerely, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart. Therefore, I am willing to let Chen Youde go, but whether he can do it or not depends on the master. ”
Ms. Song was standing aside, feeling very unhappy.
Logically speaking, it was in her interest that Wen Mingqian did not delve into Chen Youde, because it was an unexpected surprise for her.
But the change in Gong Xu's eyes when he looked at Wen Mingqian dispelled all her joy.
She knew Gong Xu very well, and naturally knew that Gong Xu had feelings for Wen Mingqian.
< br>
After all, Wen Mingqian is beautiful and talented, but his temper is a bit tough and not gentle enough.
Now she is no longer as clear-cut about love and hate as before, but has learned to give in and follow the way of compromise that she disdained most before.
Gong Xu is the person who is more willing to accept the soft than the hard. Previously, Wen Mingqian was easily unwilling to accept the soft, which resulted in the relationship between the two becoming more and more tense.
Wen Mingqian did the opposite and immediately caused Gong Xu's attitude to change. This was not a good sign!
"Thank you, madam! Thank you madam for your great kindness! I know I was wrong! I regret it!" Chen Youde lay on the ground and kowtowed to Wen Mingqian. At this time, he really felt like he was surviving a disaster. "The things in the warehouse were stolen by the little boy in a moment of confusion, and he handed them over immediately."
"Master, since Madam has said so, we don't have to spread this scandal. Even if we punish him, we still have to make people laugh. Anyway, the property has been recovered..." Ms. Song also said.
"In that case, let's do it!" Gong Xu seemed a little tired and waved his hand tiredly, "Tell someone to count and hand over everything in Chen Youde's corrupt house. He will leave the capital early tomorrow morning. , don’t come back again!”
After coming out of Ruixiangju, Mother Zhang said to Mother Zhu: “It’s done this time, you don’t have to leave, just do whatever you have to do!”
“Hey! "Hey, thank you, madam! Thank you, sister!" Mother Zhu said with gratitude, "This is really like a dream!" "You are frightened now. Go back and look at your husband and son to reassure them. Stay here. As long as you are loyal to my wife, I will definitely keep you safe." Zhang Ma pulled up her sleeves and said, "It's time to go back to cooking after I've finished my rest."
Back at Lingyue Pavilion, Wen Mingqian leaned over and rested on the short couch.
Ma Zhang sent two maids, one to make tea and the other to get snacks.
“That bitch Song Xiulian was dumbfounded today,” Zhang Ma said with a smile, “Young lady, you didn’t see that her face was sometimes green and sometimes yellow, it was really hard to describe and paint.”
"Chen Youde knows something about her, but it is not a very important matter. Even if he is forced to be implicated, it will not have much effect." Wen Mingqian smiled, "Not to mention that this matter cannot stand up to the official."
< br>"Yes, if the manager wants to come forward, Mrs. Lu will have to come forward, but she has died long ago. She was just used as a bait by us." Zhang Ma nodded.
The killer sent by Chen Youde did not miss, and Lu was indeed dead.
The reason why Wen Mingqian knew about Chen Youde's corruption was because Sang Er had discovered it in Beijing in the past two years.
The last time Wen Mingqian went to the silk and satin shop, the book she took out recorded in detail the things she found, including the details of Chen Youde's corruption.
Of course I also remember Chen Youde’s murder of his wife.
But it was impossible for Wen Mingqian to take out the book as evidence.
How could Gong Xu and the Song family know about this kind of thing?
She is a legless crab in front of others, an abandoned woman who depends on others to survive!
“That idiot Gong Er!” Zhang Ma scolded, “You can’t even tell the difference between a real person and a fake one, and yet he is holding a bitch to be your pet peeve!”
“He has always been a Stupid," Wen Mingqian chuckled, "I was even stupider than him back then."
Back then, Wen Mingqian only believed that the most important thing between husband and wife was honesty, so she never played any tricks on Gong Xu. means.
She was disdainful and unwilling.
But he didn't want his sincerity to be despised and worthless by him. On the contrary, Song's clever words, submissiveness and petty behavior made him very happy.
So Wen Mingqian understood that what he cared about was not sincerity or falsehood, but whether the other party could make him comfortable and look up to him.
Now she naturally has no affection for Gong Xu, but she still said those words in front of him today.
Of course it was a show for him and for everyone to see.
Sure enough, Gong Xu liked this trick very much.
"This man is really easy to be mean," Zhang Ma tutted. "They pretend to be a treasure, but they don't know that they themselves are the most ridiculous!"
"By the way, you will be here soon. Stew some green bamboo shoots and send them to the other side." Wen Mingqian's lips curved, "I heard Chang'an said that he likes to eat your stewed dishes." "Ha! With my skills, who can." Are you not satisfied after eating it?” Zhang’s mother twisted her neck proudly, “To be honest, I really don’t like doing it for him, but in order to make things happen, I have to force myself to do it!”
Sure enough, Zhang Mom also made a bowl of stew for Gong Xu and delivered it to her personally.
Of course no one dared to stop Zhang Ma at this time. After all, she had beaten Chen Youde more than an hour ago.
Gong Xu did not refuse, although he kept a sullen face.
Only Mr. Song noticed that he only used his chopsticks for other dishes, but he ate more than half of the bowl of dishes sent by Zhang Ma.
