Chapter 227 227: Farewell to Wen Tingzhou and Pei Yiqing
Two days later, Wen Nianruan left the palace.
Wen Tingzhou's new mansion has been built, and today is the day of moving in.
Wen Nianruan told Pei Yiqing last time that she would go take a look when they moved to their new home.
Wen Nianruan woke up late, and it was almost noon when he went to Shangshu Mansion.
At this time, many servants were coming in and out of the house, and they were all busy moving furniture back and forth.
Pei Yiqing and Wen Tingzhou didn't have many things, so they moved them all quickly.
Now that they have moved to a big mansion, the two of them bought some maids and servants, so that they can take care of the house more easily.
Pei Yiqing knew that Wen Nianruan would be coming back today, so he waited for her at the door in advance.
After a while, she saw a carriage approaching, and she hurried forward to meet it.
When Wen Nianruan got off the carriage, Pei Yiqing supported her and looked at her fondly: "You are more than two months pregnant. Why are you still so thin? You can't tell that you are a pregnant woman."
Even if he could see it, Xiao Jinran couldn't hide it.
Wen Nianruan laughed and said, "If I don't eat fat, there's nothing I can do about it."
She has a weak constitution and is already slender. Now she is two months pregnant. She wears slightly loose clothes to cover her belly, so she cannot tell that she is pregnant.
Pei Yiqing took Wen Nianruan around the house. By noon, the servants had prepared meals. Pei Yiqing took her to the lobby to eat. Wen Tingzhou happened to be back from doing government affairs.
The three of them chatted and laughed while eating, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The Wen family's affairs did not have much impact on Wen Tingzhou. His relationship with the Wen family was already over.
When the meal was almost finished, Wen Nianruan put down the bowl and chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and smiled softly: "Second brother, sister-in-law, there is something I want to tell you."
The two of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and listened carefully.
Wen Nianruan smiled: "I will leave the palace in a while."
"Come out, come out of the palace?!" Pei Yiqing was startled, and she looked at Wen Tingzhou, confused: "What do you mean by leaving the palace?"
"I won't be a concubine in the harem in the future. I will live my own life."
The two of them were stunned, too horrified to react for a moment.
Wen Nianruan knew that the two of them would react this way.
She had not planned to tell the two of them about the incident, thinking that she would leave quietly when the time came, but Pei Yiqing and Wen Tingzhou really regarded her as family, and she thought it would be better to say goodbye to them properly.
I don’t know when we will meet next time.
Pei Yiqing came back to her senses and held her hand, confused: "Nian Ruan, aren't you going to be the queen soon? Why do you want to leave the palace?"
Wen Nianruan smiled lightly: "Because I also have my own pursuits, and life in the palace is not what I want."
Pei Yiqing was stunned, she seemed to suddenly not be able to understand Wen Nianruan, or maybe she had never really understood her.
Wen Tingzhou was still calm: "Did you discuss this matter with the emperor?"
"Um."
Since the emperor agreed, the two of them had nothing to say.
Everyone has different pursuits, and they have no right to interfere with Wen Nianruan.
Pei Yiqing looked at her belly and worried: "What about the baby in your belly?"
Wen Nianruan pondered, thinking about how to answer her, and then she said: "The child is not the emperor's."
She wanted to say that she was not pregnant, but finally told the truth.
Because she trusted Wen Tingzhou and Pei Yiqing.
"What?!"
Both of them were shocked. Wen Tingzhou looked back at the lobby. Fortunately, there were no other servants. He stood up and closed the door again, sat back and asked, "Fourth sister, who is this child?"
Wen Nian laughed softly: "You will know in the future."
She didn't want to say more, and the two of them didn't ask any more questions.
They also seemed to understand why Wen Nianruan left the palace because she had someone she liked.
Pei Yiqing asked: "Where will you and your child's father go when the time comes?"
"Go to a far away place."
".Not coming back?"
Wen Nianruan held Pei Yiqing's hand: "I'll be back, but I don't know when."
Suddenly, the sourness of emptiness spread to Pei Yiqing's heart. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how.
She regarded Wen Nianruan not only as a family member, but also as the best sister. It was a lie that she didn't feel sad when she left.
Wen Tingzhou was a man and would be very reserved when expressing his feelings. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the look in his eyes when he looked at Wen Nianruan.
Wen Nianruan also helped him a lot along the way. He was really grateful to this sister.
Wen Nianruan chuckled lightly: "It's okay. When I come back one day, I will definitely come to see you."
"Okay." Pei Yiqing responded softly, but choked slightly.
There was a smile on Wen Tingzhou's lips, and there was an imperceptible dullness in his voice: "No matter when you come back, we are still a family."
"Um."
In the afternoon, Wen Nianruan left the house.
She did not return to the palace immediately, but walked around the street for a while, hoping to buy some gadgets for Xiao Muxi.
Yushuang helped her wander around the streets. When she saw some exquisite gadgets, she would look at them admiringly for a long time.
As the two were walking, Yushuang's leg was suddenly grabbed by someone, which made her jump up and scream loudly.
Wen Nianruan was also frightened. When he lowered his head, he saw someone crawling on the ground.
The man had no legs and was crawling on the ground. His clothes were ragged, dirty and torn, his hair was a mess and full of dirt, his face was covered and his appearance could not be seen clearly, and he was holding a broken bowl in his hand.
He crawled on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, as if he was afraid of blaspheming the "rich man" in front of him, so he could only beg in a low voice: "Miss, please give me some money, I haven't eaten in two days."
Hearing the voice, Wen Nianruan frowned and Yushuang also looked at the man.
Wen Nianruan turned around and signaled to Yushuang.
Yushuang nodded, took out some broken silver and put it in his bowl.
The money was enough for him to eat for several days.
"thanks, thanks."
The man crawled on the ground and kowtowed, then crawled away holding the broken bowl.
Looking at the figure on the ground, Yushuang sighed for a while: "Madam, this person seems to be Wen Yunchuan."
"Well, it's him."
Wen Nianruan's eyes turned away from him for a moment, her eyes calm and calm.
It was retribution for Wen Yunchuan to reach this point.
After the Wen family was sealed off, he had no way to go. He lost his legs and could not earn money by working for others, so he had to rely on begging to survive.
"Everyone has his own destiny, and everything is retribution," Wen Nianruan sighed, caressing his abdomen: "Go back to the palace."
As soon as she turned around, she almost bumped into someone. Wen Nianruan steadied herself in time to avoid bumping into him.
In front of her was a woman with a stick, her clothes were shabby, and she looked like a beggar.
The woman's waist was bent and her voice was hoarse: "Miss, please give me some money for your kindness."
Wen Nianruan called out: "Yushuang."
"yes."
Yushuang took out some silver and handed it to the woman. When she stretched out her hand, Wen Nianruan glanced at her hand. It was very white and tender, which seemed inconsistent with her image of begging.
The woman also raised her eyes to look at Wen Nianruan, her eyes dark. When Wen Nianruan looked back at her, she immediately lowered her head.
