Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 64

In particular, the second housekeeper had been the housekeeper for most of his life in the Wen family. When the old man and the people from the big branch came back, their confidants naturally came back, and he was demoted.

Seeing Gu Yin’s sly eyes, Wen Peifeng held back a smile and said, “The seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister’s gate are honest people. They will say that the servants are spreading the rumor. You should not say this word next time. Don’t worry, Madam, our old man, the eldest master and the eldest young master are all very kind people.”

The second housekeeper turned black with anger, but Gu Yin was not yet a servant of the manor. He really didn’t know how to hold her accountable.

When Wen Peifeng took Gu Yin around the wall, the second housekeeper spat heavily.

At that time, in the study room, Old Master Wen was teaching his second son a lesson, “Before, I asked you to divide a few shops for your brother and nephew. It’s okay that you picked all the unprofitable shops, and let the guys deliberately embarrass them, but you still want to touch the shop in your mother’s dowry? What if you allocate a few rooms for your eldest brother, so you can’t eat? Why are you in a hurry to find supplements from your mother’s dowry?!”

Second Master Wen was stunned by the old man, but he had been in business for many years, and he had long practiced shameless work. He quickly poured hot tea for Old Master Wen, “Father, don’t be angry. Mother had been gone for so many years. The shop in her dowry was also kept. Plus, it’s not just the son’s ambition, it’s just that the lease of this shop has expired, and people didn’t rent it anymore. It’s better to give it directly to me…”

Old Master Wen waved to stop him, “Your mother’s fart! When your mother left, she said that her dowry was reserved for her granddaughter-in-law! Now none of them have a family, you are the elder. Do you want to touch the things of your future daughter-in-law?”

Speaking of which, Old Master Wen also dropped the tea cup beside him.

It was windy outside, and although they couldn’t hear what the old man was scolding inside, they could still feel the monstrous anger.

Wen Lang looked at Gu Yin embarrassedly, “What I just said is true, the old man is good-natured.”

Gu Yin bent her lips and smiled reassuringly.

The old man inside pointed at his son, “How did your mother and I give birth to such a person like you? Don’t even think about your mother’s dowry shop, I will just give it to pigs, dogs, and the big bear at the door…”

Mr. Wen squinted his dim old eyes hard, and through the gloomy sky outside the house, he could only see a huge dark figure at the door, “Where did the big bear come from?”

Just when his son was worried about how to get out, when he heard the words, he went out immediately and scolded, “Where did the weirdo come from, what are you doing strangely dressed? Do you want to scare the old man! Leave quickly!”

Wen Peifeng was about to explain, but when that person saw him, he became more disgusted. With a wave of his hand, the maids and servants drove the two directly out of the study room.

After leaving the study room, Wen Peifeng immediately bowed his hands and apologized, “I’m sorry, little lady, I’m the one who burdened you.”

If someone else brought Gu Yin there, they would not be treated like that, but he didn’t expect to meet the second master. They were kicked out.

Gu Yin shook her head, “It’s your good intention that you were willing to introduce me. I can’t blame you if things didn’t work out.”

She really didn’t blame him. Gu Yin had already heard the scolding in the room. The old man was the one who fell in front of the stage that day.

That day, the old man was kicked off the stage by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu. He and even quarreled. When he left Jinyi Alley, he was very angry. It didn’t matter who led her there, he would not accept her. 

Wen Peifeng sent Gu Yin out of Wen’s house and asked the driver to send her back.

When she was about to get into the carriage, Gu Yin handed him the food box in her hand, “I don’t have anything, this is Laba porridge I cooked at noon. I am giving it to you as a thank you gift. I hope you like it.”

Shopkeeper Wen naturally accepted it and the two agreed to part ways. He could return the food box at the shop the next day.

The sky was getting darker, and it didn’t take long before it was time to put on the lantern.

At that time, Old Master Wen’s anger also subsided, and he asked about the people who came earlier.

Knowing that it was Wen Peifeng who was there to introduce him to a cook, Mr. Wen was ashamed and muttered, “This kid, I was angry at my second son, not at him, why just leave like that?”

The servant didn’t dare to say that his second son took his anger out on Wen Peifeng, so he could only say, “Then should I go and invite him over?”

The old man nodded, and the servant quickly went to find Wen Peifeng.

At that time, Wen Peifeng had just warmed up to the Laba porridge that Gu Yin had given him.

He felt more regretful that Gu Yin was not introduced to Old Master Wen. When he heard that Old Master Wen was looking for him, he put the bowl of porridge into the food box again, and took the food box to the old man’s study room.
