Chapter 770 Lingering Feelings
Wang Wenzhou stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of apology to the crowd, and said apologetically, "My fellow colleagues, I'm really sorry, I've had too much to drink! I'll go back to my room to rest now! Another day, I'll definitely drink with you all until we're both completely drunk! Please continue, eat and drink to your heart's content!"
"Your Highness's health is of utmost importance, please go and rest!" Zheng Sanjun said hurriedly.
Although Zheng Sanjun said so, he truly didn't believe Wang Wenzhou was drunk. He knew Wang Wenzhou must have something to do. Not only Zheng Sanjun didn't believe it, but none of the civil and military officials present believed it either. Mad Dog Wang Wenzhou, who could drink several vats of wine during the morning court session, how could he be drunk on such a small amount?
After making an excuse to leave, Wang Wenzhou hurriedly arrived at the gate of the mansion.
Wen Liandie stood in the cold wind, holding a little wild child in her arms, her eyes filled with tears.
Wang Wenzhou was heartbroken and rushed over, hugging Wen Liandie tightly and asking, "What's wrong, Xiaodie?"
Wen Liandie blushed and said awkwardly, "Lord Wang, please don't be like that!"
"Sorry, I've had too much to drink!" Wang Wenzhou turned around and looked at Sheng Lan, saying irritably, "Jian Fengyu, you're being outrageous! Wen Liandie is here, how could you let her wait outside the mansion gate? You should invite her in immediately!"
Sheng Lan rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "You rascal, have you no shame? This little bitch isn't your baby anymore; she's a married woman now. She refused to come to the manor herself, what business is it of mine? And she's taking her anger out on me!"
“Baby, be good! We’ll talk about it when we get home!” Wang Wenzhou said quickly.
"No, thank you!" Wen Liandie said awkwardly, "Lord Wang, I just wanted to borrow some money from you!"
Sheng Lan rolled her eyes at Wen Liandie and said irritably, "Madam Liu, please stop calling him Lord Wang. Our lord is already the Prince of Tuzhu!"
"Get out!" Wang Wenzhou said coldly, "Jian Fengyu, you're going too far! How could you treat my baby like this? Oh no! Anyway, you've gone too far!"
"Alright, alright! Sweetie, I just made a quick buck. Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem! Come inside and have some tea!" Wang Wenzhou didn't care whether Wen Liandie wanted to or not, and forcibly dragged her into the mansion.
After sitting down in the living room, Wang Wenzhou asked, "What exactly happened? Is your idiot so poor that he made you come out to borrow money?"
Wang Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly noticed that Wen Liandie's face was covered in bruises. He quickly asked, "Baby, what happened to your face?"
Wen Liandie frowned and said softly, "It was an accident! Wang Wenzhou, are you going to lend me the money or not?"
Wang Wenzhou quickly replied, "Money is no problem! Sister, bring some silver notes!"
Gao Guiying shook her head with a wry smile. This rascal, he doesn't even hesitate to spend money on that little bitch. Oh, my goodness, she's not your baby anymore! She has a husband; this isn't right!
Gao Guiying quickly stood up, took a few silver notes, handed them to Wang Wenzhou, and whispered, "Boxin, it's not that I'm stingy and don't want you to lend her money. The key is that you need to find out what's going on. Otherwise, her husband might overthink it and come looking for trouble with you. If word gets out, we'll lose face!"
Wang Wenzhou curled his lip. He wasn't afraid of losing face, but he really wanted to know why Wen Liandie wanted to borrow money.
Wang Wenzhou handed the silver note to Wen Liandie and said, "Baby, keep it safe!"
Wen Liandie looked down and saw that the eight silver notes totaled more than 30,000 taels. She picked out a silver note worth 2,000 taels and returned the rest to Wang Wenzhou.
"I don't need that much silver. Two thousand taels is enough for my trip back to my hometown!" Wen Liandie said softly.
"Huh?" Wang Wenzhou frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Grandpa passed away? I didn't receive this news!"
Wen Liandie glanced at Wang Wenzhou with a mournful look and complained, "You hate my grandfather that much? My grandfather isn't dead! I just don't want to stay in the capital anymore!"
Connecting the dots with the injuries on Wen Liandie's face, Wang Wenzhou suddenly realized that the baby must have been a victim of domestic violence!
Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou said angrily, "Xiaodie, tell me the truth, were the injuries on your face inflicted by Liu Lishun?"
"Thank you for your money, I will definitely repay you! I'll take my leave now!" Wen Liandie said, standing up to leave.
Wang Wenzhou grabbed her arm and said with deep emotion, "Baby, even though we're not related anymore, you can't stop treating me as a friend! Don't worry, I'll go get revenge for you right now! Damn it! I never thought that bastard Liu Lishun would be so heartless!"
"He snatched you away from me, swearing he loved you, and now he's beaten you like this! I won't stand for it! I see now, that bastard's heart is wicked! He must have seen that Old Wen has lost power and you're no longer of any use, so he wants to kick you aside!"
After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he stood up and said coldly, "Jian Fengyu, gather your men and go find Liu Lishun to avenge Xiaodie!"
"Wang Wenzhou, I beg you! Please stop making trouble!" Wen Liandie pleaded desperately, as this would be too embarrassing if word got out.
"Baby, I'm heartbroken for you!" Wang Wenzhou said, exasperated. "You told me you gave birth to a bastard child for him! Wait a minute, let me see who he looks like? Could he be mine?"
Wen Liandie gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look. This rascal hasn't changed at all; he's still so irresponsible.
Wang Wenzhou took the little bastard, looked at it, and said with a smile, "I think it looks a lot like me! Lazy Blue, Lazy Blue, don't you think it looks like our Zhang Xiao..."
Wang Wenzhou's eyes welled up with tears as he finished speaking. He was a little drunk and, in a moment of confusion, had forgotten that his Lazy Blue baby was long dead.
Sheng Lan turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears. "You rascal, how can he be as handsome as our Zhang Xiaohua? Don't worry, he's definitely not your child!"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed, holding the little bastard, and said, "Call me Daddy!"
"Dad!" The little bastard was still young, had just learned to speak, and didn't understand anything. Whoever told him to call him Dad, he would call them Dad.
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Baby! From now on, he's my son Wen Xiaohua's favorite! No one can bully him, and even less can they bully my Wen Xiaohua's mother!"
Sheng Lan gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look. "You rascal, have you no shame?"
Da Yu'er felt a pang of pain in her heart, for she missed her son, Borjigit Xiaohua. She wondered how he was doing in Shengjing. Was he getting milk when he was hungry? Was he being held by a beautiful wet nurse when he was cold?
With tears welling up in her eyes, Wen Liandie said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Wang Wenzhou, stop making a scene! Give me back my child, I'm leaving!"
Wang Wenzhou hugged Wen Liandie tightly and said tenderly, "Baby, I know you still have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me for help when you were in the most difficult time! It's all my fault! I was wrong back then! I was willful! I wronged you! Please forgive me! I really regret it! I shouldn't have acted so foolishly! If you were still by my side, how could I have suffered so much?"
Wang Wenzhou gently stroked Wen Liandie's cheek and said with heartache, "Look, my precious baby, whom I cherish so much, has been beaten like this by that bastard Liu Lishun! I can't take it anymore! Jian Fengyu, let's go! Come with me to kill this bastard!"
