al of a thousand suns, eager to snatch the top spot like they were already wearing the laurel crown of champion!Time passed by minute by minute, and the night grew deeper.Not until three o'clock in th...This street of the Wen family, turn a corner and there's a big teahouse. Originally, business wasn't so good, but these days it's thriving.

Everyone was waiting to see how Wenjia would react, but they never expected such a result. It's really... too explosive!

A guest, inquiring with a servant about the rumors, looked incredulous. "You're saying that Wen Junyan didn't save his brother because he was jealous"

It's no wonder this person is so surprised. After all, every wealthy family has some conflicts, it's rare for brothers to get along perfectly. But usually, when something happens, everyone unites against the outside world.

After all, the principle that one gains and the other loses together is understood even by children.

Others were also surprised and asked, "Wen Junyan usually has a good reputation, he shouldn't be like this!"

The little servant was flustered, afraid that everyone would think he was lying. He began to jump and imitate it.

He was also a clever man with a good memory. After Liu's father and son and Mrs. Cui left, he repeated to everyone exactly what Tong Wenjun had said, even imitating the expressions of each person.

It was as if the scene from before had been replayed.

When everyone heard this, they were totally blown away.

Someone sighed and said, “It’s true that you can know a person’s face but not their heart. This Wen Junyan is truly too narrow-minded! Among families, it's common for the eldest sons to be mediocre while the younger sons are outstanding. Don't they support and rely on each other, making the family business more prosperous"

"How come things turned out this way at the Wen family Wen Junyi is truly such a lackluster brother... It's a pity for Wen Yushi, being suppressed from a young age!"

"That's right," the friend beside him nodded and said, "The Wen family doesn't want to help for fear of being implicated, so they just shut up completely and let the Liu family and Li family save people as they see fit."

But if Wen Junyan's words spread today, whoever pleads for Wen Yushi would be considered disloyal! Even if someone wants to help, they have to think carefully. It is truly vicious!

"His ruthlessness towards his younger brother, if applied to work, would have made him a first-rank official by now, instead of merely a fourth-rank one." someone scoffed with disdain.

But some people are paying attention to different points, whispering: "It turns out, Old Master Liu really intends to arrange for Cui University Scholar's daughter to marry Wen Imperial Historian. No wonder Mrs. Cui has been disregarding her reputation these days and working hard to make it happen."

"Indeed," the person at the same table replied, "Wen Yushi's resistance to the arranged marriage at home, even going so far as to move out, probably shows he has feelings for Cui family's younger sister as well.

"Logically speaking, Lady Cui and her previous husband had been separated for a long time. If she were to marry Mr. Wen, it would be a beautiful story of brother-sister connection. However, Mr. Wen is in trouble now, what a pity!"

"I'm afraid that with the Li, Liu, and Cui families running around like this, Wen Yu Shi will still be punished... After this, Mrs. Cui probably won't be able to marry again!"

Let's not talk about the heated discussions in the teahouse. Just say, inside the Liu family's carriage, Old Master Liu stroked his beard and instructed his niece, "Jinerou, after a while you just return to Suijin Tan and wait for news. Don't run around anymore. What you have done is enough at this point. Kyoto already knows that you and Shao Yuan are deeply in love."

"Now, everyone feels sympathy for you, but if you continue to participate, you'll inevitably have to say some harsh things."

"Yes, Uncle. I will return to Suijin Beach right away. It's just that..."

Mrs. Cui was still a little uneasy, but Liu Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "Just rest assured, Master Li and Jiarren are here, guarding him every step of the way."

“Those in Dali Temple are all as subservient as commoners, and they wouldn't dare to act against the Li family, who have been so devoted. After all, the Li family is notorious for their power; everyone in Xindu knows it, not to mention the support of a Duke behind them!”

Mrs. Cui nodded, her heart slightly eased.

Although she knew everything was a plot by everyone, she couldn't help but worry when her senior brother was thrown into prison.

Thinking about the expressions of the Wen family just now, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her senior brother.

“I originally thought that my senior brother’s father was just a bit rigid and demanding, with higher expectations for my senior brother. Who would have thought…” Madam Cui wanted to scold him, but held back, finally finding a word, “Who would have thought, he is so two-faced!”

Liu Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh, "My foster sister wants to curse, so let her vent! What does she have to worry about at this time! The man even gave up his son and kept saying 'loyal to the king.' Bull**! He's just afraid that Shao Yuan will drag his family down, and ruin Wen Junyan's career!"

Liu Lao Ye gave his son a sideways glance and rebuked, "Say less!"

As a father, he couldn't imagine his son being in trouble and as a father, how could he stand by and do nothing to help!

The Wen family, truly disappointing...

Under the shade of a tree across from the Dali Temple gate, Li's carriage seemed to have taken root, still parked there.

Even if it rained, the nearby street vendors and those who had come to do business all ran away, but Li's carriage did not move.

The Dali Temple guard, watching the carriage from afar, couldn't help but whisper to his companion, "This Li family is really something. For days now, they've been coming and going, just spending every day here guarding. Didn't we tell them Wen Yushi was fine They don't trust us!"

“What do you understand” his companion glared at him and said in a low voice, “The Li family isn’t afraid we’ll make trouble for Wen Yushi. They’re trying to intimidate outsiders! No official who serves as an imperial censor can avoid offending people. The Li family is afraid that those who had some conflicts with Wen Yushi before will take advantage of the situation to create chaos!”

"Master Li stood guard outside the door. To those who wanted to harm Mr. Wen, he would say: think carefully, for harming Mr. Wen is the same as declaring war on the Li family!"

"Goodness, the Li family has staked everything on this!" The clerk couldn't help but feel envious. "Wen Yushi is also lucky to have befriended a family like the Li family."

"Alright, just keep it short. You haven't been missing out on the food Xianke Lai brings, have you You eat people's food, and you owe them a favor. So when something happens to Wen Yushi, you better pay attention."

"Haha, that's right! The water-boiled beef slices yesterday were so delicious. With white rice, I ate a full three bowls!"

“I love roast duck, I wonder if they have it today. I heard that Xian Kelei only sells eight ducks a day, and many diners scramble to get them!”

Two small clerks huddled together laughing, when, beside the Li family's carriage, another carriage inexplicably stopped. The window opened, revealing Mr. Peng's haggard face.

Li Laoer hurriedly opened the window to greet him. Mr. Peng weakly waved his hand and said, “Sir, I went to find a few friends, they all said that this Shao Yuan matter is not easy. Now no one knows how the Emperor’s condition is, if things get bad, someone might accuse us of spying, and we would all be implicated.”

Li Laoer nodded and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Peng, for your help running around. You should go back and rest for a night first. If anything happens, I’ll have Jiaren report back to Luo'an.”

Mr. Peng had been running around the city for two days and was truly exhausted. He agreed, "Alright, I'll go back and change my clothes first. Master, please guard this place for me. If anything happens, be sure to send someone to tell me."

Having said that, the Peng family's carriage started moving again, and soon only the Li family remained in the rain.

Jiarren sat in the back of the car, carefully guarding the teapot over the charcoal stove, and asked his father, "Father, will the teacher be alright"

Li Lao Er looked around to make sure no one was listening, then seeing his son's dark circles, he whispered, "Don't worry, everything is taken care of."

Jia Ren was stunned for a moment, then looked at his father's smiling eyes, his heart overflowing with joy!safety. But the truth of this matter cannot be known by everyone at the moment, so it's even more difficult to arrange.”Since everyone has lived in Suijintang for so long, it's already become our home...
