Chapter 306 No, this is not true!
Outside Qiming Pavilion.

Yang Wenyuan stood at the door and saw that not long after Chang Feng left, Wen Yanjing followed him out of the courtyard and was led by servants to the courtyard where guests were received.

"After such a long time, the Sheng family still hasn't discussed marriage with him. I think Wen Yanjing must have realized something was wrong."

Now that you've noticed something's wrong, you must take the initiative and find a way to survive.

Watching Wen Yanjing's gradually receding figure, Yang Wenyuan thought to himself that Wen Yanjing should be taking action now.

Thinking of this, Yang Wenyuan had an idea and turned around and walked away quickly.

Outside the courtyard where guests are entertained.

The servant led Wen Yanjing into the yard, then pointed in the direction of the toilet and said:

"Sir, that's it."

Wen Yanjing covered his stomach, glanced casually in the direction of the servant's finger, and immediately nodded in response:
"Thanks for the directions."

After saying that, he bowed his body slightly and walked slowly towards the toilet.

"Then please go ahead, sir. I'll be waiting outside." The servant called out to Wen Yanjing's back, then walked straight out of the porch and stood guard at the hanging flower gate.

Wen Yanjing lowered his head slightly and glanced at the door from his bent armpit, only to see the servant standing there with his shoulders shrugged lazily, obviously determined to stand there and guard him.

"What are you doing when you are so competent!" Wen Yanjing cursed in his heart.

But he is also a man of quick mind.

It only took him a moment to slowly walk into the toilet before he came up with a good idea to fire the servants.

"Hey, manager, manager!"

Wen Yanjing walked in, but stayed for a moment before running out and shouting to the young servant at the door:
"There is no toilet paper here, could you please go get some?"

Hearing Wen Yanjing's words, the young servant at the door had no doubts at all. Instead, he took the blame on himself, fearing that he would be punished for this matter. He hurriedly nodded and said in a panic:
"Please wait a moment, my lord. I will get it for you right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that Wen Yanjing did not scold him, he hurriedly went to find toilet paper.

Seeing that the servants were successfully sent away, Wen Yanjing immediately felt relieved.

'Fortunately, he is a bit reckless.'

Since the person following him had left, Wen Yanjing prepared to move towards the female relatives according to the direction he had estimated.

As for whether he is worried about being caught on the spot?
Wen Yanjing was not a fool. He just planned to walk towards the women's courtyard, hoping to run into a girl from the Sheng family so that he could show off his youthful talent and his elegant temperament, and thereby attract the fourth girl from the Sheng family to change her mind.

But I don't plan to rush directly into someone else's yard.

As long as they didn't just barge into the yard, they could just use the excuse that they were waiting for someone impatiently and came out to look for them, and ended up getting lost.

No need to worry about coming back late.

After all, he was "lost" in the Sheng family, and he could not escape the blame for the servants' poor guarding.

As long as the master does not take the initiative to ask about the lost person, the servants will certainly not take the initiative to cause trouble for themselves.

It's always the right time and place, all you need is to meet the right person!

Wen Yanjing immediately crouched down, poked his head out to take a look, and made sure that the servants had left and there was no one passing by, then he walked out leisurely.

Then, after identifying the direction he came from, he turned and walked in another direction.

I'm coming too!
Sheng's backyard.

There is a long porch on the only way leading to the courtyard of the women in the back house. In the center is a flower bed with beautiful flowers blooming on it every day.

At this time, Yang Wenyuan was waiting in the flower garden, quietly admiring the flowers.

Also waiting for someone.

He thought that if Wen Yanjing refused to admit defeat, he would definitely come here.

So he just stayed here.

However, Yang Wenyuan was not just waiting for Wen Yanjing.

At the same time, he also asked someone to call Rulan who was in the room to come and put on a good show in front of Wen Yanjing.

It would be great if Wen Yanjing could stop thinking about Rulan and let him concentrate on Molan and not do anything else.

Not long after.

Rulan received the message from the servant and rushed to the flower garden.

"Brother-in-law, do you have something to ask me?"

Rulan's breath was slightly disordered, and she stood in front of Yang Wenyuan with a fragrant orchid in her mouth. She took a few deep breaths from her nose, and after calming her chest, she complained to Yang Wenyuan:

"If you have something to discuss in person, you can just come to Wei Rui Xuan to find me. Why bother sending me here?"

However, although she was complaining, Rulan's eyebrows kept rising slightly, and there was a strange light in her eyes.

"You stay in your room every day, and you get tired after walking a few steps?" Yang Wenyuan immediately replied unhappily.

He had no intention of confronting Rulan about the matter of Wen Yanjing, he just wanted Wen Yanjing to see the scene of him talking to Rulan.

So that she would mistakenly believe that the reason why she did not compete with him for Molan was because the Sheng family had already agreed to the marriage between "Ma Wencai" and Rulan.

Well, well intentioned!

"No no."

Rulan immediately waved her hand and twisted her delicate nose:

"You are my elder, how dare I do that!"

"It's okay if you don't dare."

Yang Wenyuan was quite pleased with himself for successfully suppressing Rulan's squeamishness, but he immediately glared at her:
"What elders? I'm still young!
How come when you say these words, it's like I just grew a white beard for no reason?"

"Hehe~! This is what you thought, not what I said!" Rulan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's get down to business."

Yang Wenyuan adjusted his expression, and then asked:
"Is Sixth Sister at home today?"

This was naturally just a matter of Yang Wenyuan making small talk, just to talk more.

Wen Yanjing, please give some support too!
"Sixth sister? Are you looking for Sixth sister for something?"

When Rulan heard that Yang Wenyuan was here to see Minglan, she immediately felt unhappy.

Well, it must be because she is the eldest sister’s biological sister, so why is her brother-in-law so concerned about Minglan!

Rulan frowned and replied in a bad tone:

"Brother-in-law, since you are here to look for Sixth Sister, then just go by yourself. Why did you find me?"

You want me, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, to be the messenger, right?
Don't do this!

"Don't interrupt!"

Yang Wenyuan was not willing to tolerate Rulan's bad habits, so he asked directly:

"I asked Sixth Sister to do something for me before, but I was worried that she might not be able to do it wholeheartedly, so I came to you today to ask you secretly."

People say that one lie needs to be covered up with countless lies, so it is best not to tell lies.

But this is not entirely true for Yang Wenyuan.

It starts with a lie and can be used smoothly all the time!
No matter what! In the beginning, for Minglan's sake, he made up a lie so that she could go to Yuqing Temple.

Now, for Rulan's sake, he could just continue with the lie he told Minglan, and there was nothing wrong with that!

Hearing Yang Wenyuan say this, Rulan felt happy at once, totally unaware that Yang Wenyuan had previously communicated with Minglan and asked Minglan to help with something.

Rulan thought to herself:

"Sure enough, my brother-in-law is still closer to me!"

You see, the work is given to Minglan, and when it comes to me, I only have the leisurely job of being an "supervisor"!
But even though she was happy, Rulan still looked proud and raised her pretty face, and said to Yang Wenyuan angrily:

"Brother-in-law, since you asked Minglan to help you, but now you are worried about her, you want to drag me into it!"

A look on his face that looked like he was a scumbag.

"..."

Yang Wenyuan never thought that there would be a day when he would be lectured by Rulan.

He took back his previous boast. It seemed that lies were not always effective.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

You see, now that you meet someone like Rulan, you feel so suffocated in your heart, as if you were hit by a pig when you go out.

But Yang Wenyuan couldn't explain the reason.

I didn't say anything just now, and there's no need to explain now.

"Just think of it as sacrificing yourself for others and swallowing the pain!"

Yang Wenyuan comforted himself in his heart, then he looked embarrassed, forced a smile, and said to Rulan:
"Tell me about Minglan..."

"Ok?"

However, before Yang Wenyuan could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sudden heaviness on his back and the back of his head.

Based on Yang Wenyuan's familiarity with his own body at the limit of human capabilities, he immediately realized the origin of this feeling - someone was spying on him from behind, and there must be malice in their eyes!
Otherwise it wouldn’t be so strong!

Wen Yanjing is here!
Just as Yang Wenyuan felt at ease and continued to talk to Rulan, Wen Yanjing was standing under the low wall outside the porch of the flower garden.

When he set out, his expression was calm and even slightly excited, but now it all froze.

Especially when he saw that damn "Ma Wencai" talking intimately and whispering in the ears of the "Fourth Miss Sheng Family" whom he had been thinking about, it was even more heartbreaking!
I wish I could jump out immediately and catch this adulterous couple on the spot!
Because he had never met the Fourth Young Lady of the Sheng Family before, Wen Yanjing had no idea what she looked like. He only knew that although she was a concubine's daughter of the Sheng Family, she was extremely favored at home and her situation was comparable to that of a legitimate daughter.

Although he couldn't recognize the fourth daughter of the Sheng family, Wen Yanjing could still recognize the appearance of "Ma Wencai"!

This "Ma Wencai" originally came here to snatch the bride from me. I originally thought that he had not appeared in recent days because he had retreated in the face of difficulties and did not dare to compete with me anymore. Who would have thought...

Who would have thought that this guy would play such a dirty trick!

Completely disregarding worldly etiquette, he went straight to the real owner!

No wonder, no wonder I felt uncomfortable every time I went to their house these few times. The Sheng family kept dragging their feet and refused to let the man and woman meet face to face. It turned out that this "Ma Wencai" had already sneaked into their lair!

Damn Ma Wencai, it really makes me suffer!

While feeling sad, Wen Yanjing secretly felt lucky:
"If I hadn't been restrained by etiquette today, I would have been kept in the dark like a fool!"

Then, seeing that "Ma Wencai" and the "Fourth Miss Sheng" were talking more and more happily, and even started to "exchange glances" with each other while laughing and smiling, Wen Yanjing felt even more heartbroken.

No, no, none of this is true!

It was obviously me who came first!
And seeing that the "adulterous couple" turned around and walked towards the women's quarters, Wen Yanjing was even more furious.

them……

They won’t…

For a moment, Wen Yanjing felt that his head was inexplicably heavier.

It must be because the fruits of victory that he had originally grasped were shamelessly snatched away by someone!

It happened so suddenly that Wen Yanjing gradually came to his senses when he saw the figures of "Ma Wencai" and "the fourth girl of the Sheng family" disappearing around the corner.

Wen Yanjing's face was full of despair.

He understood that he had lost this round.

After seeing her today, he could no longer get over the hurdle in his heart, and the matter of marriage was no longer necessary, so he had to give up.

As for the "improper behavior" of the Sheng family girl, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would not dare to reveal a word to anyone.

Not only because of the location where he appeared, but more importantly...

Whether it is the current Sheng family or the Sheng family's in-laws, the Yang family, the young wife of Marquis Pingyang would never allow the outside world to spread any scandal that would tarnish the reputation of the girl from the Sheng family.

He could not see what losses the Sheng family would suffer if he dared to say this, but his career path had not yet begun, but it was definitely cut off.

So he had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.

He is the only hope for the family's success in several generations, and he must not be destroyed because of such a love affair!

Even if I can't get on board the Sheng family, I, Wen Yanjing, can still find another one!
Wen Yanjing was very clear in his mind that he could only rely on himself for the imperial examination, but he needed someone's help for his career in the officialdom.

……

"Fifth sister, you go to Shou'an Hall by yourself. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do with your third brother, so I won't go." Yang Wenyuan suddenly spoke when they were leaving the flower garden and on the way to Shou'an Hall.

"Ah?" Rulan was stunned.

Didn’t my brother-in-law just say that he was going to Shou’an Hall? Why is he leaving me behind now?

"But……"

"No buts, I have something urgent to discuss with your third brother."

After saying that, Yang Wenyuan turned and left, not giving Rulan a chance to ask further questions.

"Okay..."

Rulan raised her arm, but saw Yang Wenyuan walking away, so she had to let it go with a slight feeling of disappointment.

Turned around and went back to Weiruixuan.

In front of the flower garden.

Wen Yanjing composed himself again and was about to return with heavy steps, intending to leave without saying goodbye.

He has already given up and there is nothing for him to miss about the Sheng family anymore.

However, as soon as he turned around, he heard a familiar voice behind him that made him angry.

"Brother Wen, what are you doing here?"

'What? Fuck you!'

As soon as he heard the voice of "Ma Wencai", Wen Yanjing immediately became angry, and all the new and old grudges came together.

He immediately turned around and glared at Yang Wenyuan!
Well, Wen Yanjing is a scholar, and Ma Wencai is a warrior. It is impossible for him to make a stupid decision to use his own weakness to attack the other party's strength.

"Then why are you here?"

Wen Yanjing didn't dare to do it himself, but he was quite good at being sarcastic:
"If I remember correctly, you didn't send a visiting card today, but now you secretly appeared in the backyard of the Sheng family?"

As he spoke, Wen Yanjing raised his head and glanced behind Yang Wenyuan.

"And...if I remember correctly, there was a woman there just now?"
