Chapter 21: The Wen Family
The Wen Family Hall.
The room was crowded, but extremely quiet.
Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen were sitting on high seats with serious faces.
Wen Yucheng sat on the left with a pale face. Next to him sat a middle-aged man in his early thirties with a handsome face and lively eyebrows. This man was none other than Wen Yucheng's third uncle Wen Jiachao.
The rest of the Wen family sat cautiously on the right side.
When Yan Bu discovered the human bones before, he immediately reported it to Wen Yucheng. It happened that Mrs. Wen who was passing by heard about it, and then Mrs. Wen told Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen heard the whole process and became angry.
At this moment, the entire house knew that someone had set up a plot in Wen Yucheng's room, placed human bones, and cursed Wen Yucheng.
Wen Yucheng has been extremely smart since he was a child, and is better than his father and third uncle. The family has raised such a person with such care, and now someone wants to harm their only child.
How could Mr. Wen endure it, so he called everyone together.
Wen Jiakang knelt in the middle of the main room. He shed tears and said to the two elders in the high position: "Father, mother, it really wasn't me who did it! I really don't know why there is that thing in the pine and cypress!"
After hearing this, Mr. Wen threw the crutch out of his hand angrily, causing Wen Jiakang's forehead to bleed instantly.
"You evildoer!"
Mr. Wen pointed at him with trembling hands and gritted teeth.
Mrs. Wen gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Wen Jiahong, is now a third-rank official in the capital. She also has a son, Wen Yucheng.
The second son, Wen Jiakang, has been mediocre and idle since he was a child. When he grew up, he relied on the money sent back by Wen Jiahong. He has two daughters, the elder is eight years old and the younger is three years old.
The third son, Wen Jiachao, was talented and intelligent. He was awarded the title of Number One Scholar at an early age. However, his health was too poor and he now works as a teacher in an academy in the town and has a lot of achievements all over the world.
Wen Jiachao was married once, but his wife passed away the year before last. After his wife passed away, he never remarried and had no children.
The youngest daughter was named Wen Jiali. She married the Wei family in Chang'an that year and only came back once during the Chinese New Year.
"Father, it's really not me!"
Wen Jiakang cried bitterly and begged Mr. Wen, "I swear here, if I am the one who murders Yucheng, I will be struck by lightning from the sky!"
Even though Wen Jiakang had sworn a poisonous oath, everyone still didn't believe it.
"If it's really not you? Why did you stop Yan Bu?"
Mrs. Wen asked with a frown.
"I, I, I..."
Wen Jiakang pursed his lips and couldn't explain why.
Seeing Wen Jiakang like this, Mrs. Wen was completely heartbroken. Previously, Wen Jiahong, the eldest brother, protected him from the wind and rain, so he just did nothing.
Now he is actually planning such a thing on his own nephew!
What a misfortune for our family!
What a misfortune for my family!
Now that Mrs. Wen is thinking about the content of the conversation between Wen Yucheng and Yan Bu, her heart is still twitching.
If it weren't for Wen Yucheng's good fortune and the guidance of the master, the Wen family would have lost all hope at the hands of this unfilial son!
Seeing that the two elders were unmoved, Wen Jiakang suddenly said to Wen Yucheng who was standing aside: "Yucheng, Yucheng, the third uncle really didn't want to take your life. That really wasn't what the third uncle did."
Wen Yucheng lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Wen Jiakang cried with snot and tears. He pulled Wen Yucheng's sleeve and said, "Yucheng, Yucheng, please talk!"
"That's enough!" Mr. Wen suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Here comes someone! Send the second master to the woodshed, and we will take care of him tomorrow!"
Firewood shed, family law!
Wen Jiakang was alert. The Wen family had a strict upbringing. When Mr. Wen was young, he was even more of a stickler. Their brothers had been beaten since childhood.
Now that Mr. Wen is older, he is no longer what he was before, and he has almost forgotten the pain he suffered before. If he really admits to the crime of murdering his nephew this time, he may never come back.
At this moment, Wen Jiakang couldn't control it anymore. He broke away from the shackles of his servants and shouted to the two elders: "I said! The reason why I stopped Yan Bu is because the porcelain used by the pine and cypress was a gift from the Holy Emperor. I
I'm jealous of my elder brother, so I want to break it and let him learn a lesson."
Listening to Wen Jiakang's child-like reasons, Mrs. Wen felt extremely remorseful and only regretted that she had not properly disciplined this child.
"You still want to teach your elder brother a lesson?" Mr. Wen snorted coldly, "If this is really what the Holy Spirit cares about, if it breaks, we will all die. If you don't care, then you are really like a clown! Someone is here! You are still stunned.
What are you doing, drag it down!"
Wen Jiakang's head was buzzing, and he was dragged away by his servants like a puppet on strings.
After Wen Jiakang left, calm returned to the hall.
After a long time, Wen Jiachao said: "Father, my second brother should not have done this."
"I still don't know? With his brain, can he do this?"
Mr. Wen curled his lips and said with hatred for steel.
After saying that, Mr. Wen sighed. Wen Jiakang didn't do this, so how should we find that person?
They are in the light, that person is in the dark, and that person knows such yin and yang skills, I am afraid it is difficult to find him.
Mr. Wen suddenly remembered something, looked at Wen Yucheng and said, "Yucheng, we may have to talk to the master about this matter."
Wen Yucheng nodded.
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse. Go back to your room and rest."
Mr. Wen waved his hand and left the main room with Mrs. Wen.
The others also left one after another, and in the end only Wen Yucheng and Wen Jiachao were left in the room.
"Third uncle? Is there anything else?"
Wen Yucheng's thin lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Wen Jiachao with a smile and asked.
Wen Jiachao narrowed his peach blossom eyes, patted Wen Yucheng comfortingly and said: "Yucheng, since the master said that throwing away the pines and cypresses will make it better, you don't need to worry too much, leave this matter to the third uncle, the third uncle
I will definitely help you get it done."
"Then Yucheng will thank Third Uncle here first."
Wen Yucheng lowered his eyes and said.
"We were talking about whether to thank you or not. It's getting late. You should go to bed early."
Wen Jiachao said cheerfully, and then strode away.
Looking at Wen Jiachao's leaving figure, Wen Yucheng's eyes were full of inquiry.

Lotus Village.
After a night's rest, Su Yan came back to life with full blood. After practicing in the morning, she started drawing talisman in the yard. She drew ten in one breath before Su Yan stopped writing.
Putting down the wolf hair, Su Yan raised her head and looked at Liang Zhe, whose eyes were dark, and asked doubtfully: "Is it okay if you didn't sleep last night?"
Liang Zhe nodded. He thought about things all night yesterday, so it's amazing that he slept well.
"Then I will go to the mountain later to collect some medicine for you and make a sleeping bag for you."
Su Yan folded the talismans one by one and said.
Liang Zhe wiped his face and looked at her in surprise when he heard this, "Do you know how to do pharmacology?"
Su Yan cleared the table and said proudly: "Don't underestimate me, I know a lot. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
After saying that, Su Yan walked into the room to serve breakfast.
Liang Zhe had cooked breakfast for the past few days. Su Yan managed to get up earlier than him today, so she naturally wanted him to have a taste of her cooking.
After Liang Zhe finished cleaning up, he saw the delicious food on the table and picked up his chopsticks to take a bite.
"How about it?"
Su Yan looked at him with bright eyes.
Liang Zhe nodded, and after swallowing it, he commented: "This is even more delicious than the one made by Manchun Restaurant in town."
Hearing Liang Zhe praise herself, the smile on Su Yan's face became even brighter. She was so happy that she raised the corners of her lips, took a chopstick of food and gave it to Liang Zhe and said, "Try this, it's delicious too!"
