Chapter 617 Talking badly behind your back
Jiang Xinyan listened to their gossip attentively while drinking tea. Those young men should all be high-ranking officials and knew a lot of inside information.
"Taifu Xu's granddaughter is a truly noble girl. Mr. Wang already has three children, and he still refuses?" The young master in blue clothes asked in disbelief.
"What is this? Mr. Wang's ex-wife is the cousin of the Marquis of Zhennan. Later, as you know, the Marquis of Zhennan was exiled, and that beautiful woman was divorced~"
"Master Wang is too ruthless. Since he can divorce his wife, why not marry the Grand Tutor's granddaughter?"
"Maybe the Grand Tutor's granddaughter is not beautiful, what else could be the reason?" a young man said casually.
"Hahaha..." All the young masters roared with laughter.
A group of people started gossiping in a low voice, their tone full of envy and jealousy, and then their voices became louder.
They didn't notice at all that there was a person standing at their table, but the person standing at their table had a calm look on his face, as if he didn't take these words to heart at all.
This man was wearing a green robe and looked like a civil servant, but he did not tie his hair or wear a crown.
Moreover, the whole person's temperament is somewhat free and easy and heroic, which is obviously a little different from ordinary civil servants.
It's just that his face is very ugly now, especially when he heard the comments from the people around him, his brows were furrowed.
Just before this, Wang Wenshan had paid little attention to the various rumors about himself that were circulating outside.
At this time, he felt very sad, especially the last sentence, because he took the opportunity to divorce his wife after the fall of the Hou Mansion, this sentence was simply heartbreaking.
He suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Since you know it in such detail, didn't you find out that Mr. Wang was out on errands and that his stepmother and his grandmother divorced his wife?"
"Really? How do you know so clearly? Is there any other inside story that we don't know? Let's hear it."
A young man in purple clothes asked enthusiastically. He actually heard a little bit of the news.
"No wonder Mr. Wang doesn't want to marry the Grand Tutor's granddaughter. Could it be that he still likes his wife?" another young master guessed.
"It should be so. I heard that he moved out of the Wang family with his three children. He probably had a falling out with his stepmother."
Jiang Xinyan almost laughed in her heart. These bastards hadn't noticed yet that the person standing next to their table was her scumbag brother-in-law.
There was still a lot of discussion about me, talking about it with gusto, and her scumbag brother-in-law also participated in the discussion with suppressed anger.
Jiang Xinyan very much suspected that her scumbag brother-in-law was deliberately trying to clear her name. She despised this behavior of her scumbag brother-in-law, so she listened with disdain.
Several young men thought that their voices were very low, but they just got excited while talking and did not deliberately lower their voices.
"Ahem... You guys really like gossip." Wang Wenshan was afraid that they would say more ugly things to anger him.
"Wang...Mr. Wang, why are you here?" Several men immediately stood up and said hello.
"If I hadn't come, how could I have heard such exciting news?" Wang Wenshan stared at the young men who stood up with sharp eyes like an eagle.
There was a man wearing a dark official uniform, with a knife on his waist, and a warm smile on his face: "I just heard the rumors, I don't know if they are true or not, but since Mr. Wang came here in person, sit down and have a meal together."
Let me help you solve my doubts."
Wang Wenshan snorted coldly: "Is this how you Jin Yiwei handle cases? Do you gossip outside during case handling time?"
Mr. Li sighed helplessly: "I just took over the role of the censor to impeach Mr. Wang, and before I could investigate, I heard such news, so I came out to verify it."
He stretched out his right index finger and shook it gently twice, without any embarrassment at all of being caught speaking ill of someone behind their back.
Wang Wenshan pondered for a moment: "The matter of my impeachment is indeed strange. I have been on leave for a few days. If you find out the truth, you will definitely be severely punished!"
After saying that, he took the tea poured for him by a young man on the table, took a sip from the tea cup and said, "I will give you justice after you investigate the matter."
"It will save you the trouble of lowering your rank." Mr. Li nodded.
At this moment, the atmosphere at that table was a little strange, and it was also shrouded in danger!
But Jiang Xinyan and his wife were not affected. Just as their food arrived, the portions of the two dishes were not large.
Chu Lixuan looked at his daughter-in-law picking at her fingers, and he dotingly helped her pick up the vegetables, as long as she was happy.
He didn't eat it himself, so he let his wife eat only two dishes, and he ate the rest. Besides, there was food in their space, so they wouldn't be hungry.
All Jiang Xinyan's thoughts were on the table next to her. She was eating whatever Chu Lixuan put in his hands. In just a moment, the two dishes on the table were all gone. Her mouth was not idle for a moment.
"Husband, this dish is expensive, but the portion is quite large. We were full after just two dishes. I really can't eat anymore."
"If I can't eat anymore, I won't eat." Chu Lixuan naturally picked up the leftover food and ate it.
Wang Wenshan at the next table: "..."
He was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. He was impeached, so he wanted to come to a restaurant to get drunk. When he stepped into Zuixianju, he saw the couple who helped him yesterday.
Wang Wenshan walked over directly, but he heard the table next to them talking bad about him, and he was so angry that he forgot to say hello to the couple.
But his attention was entirely focused on the noon couple at the next table. How outstanding they were when they were young.
Even if a man reaches middle age, he is still quite good-looking. Despite his pale complexion, his face is as chiseled as a sculpture.
The two thick eyebrows are sharp and hard, the nose is as high as the distant mountains, and even the two thin lips are sexy and graceful.
Every aspect of the middle-aged woman is exquisite, and she is so beautiful that it makes people sigh.
Her smile was as bright as the sun, and she was so beautiful that she couldn't find anything in it. But in Wang Wenshan's eyes, there was a hint of calculation behind that bright, white-toothed smile.
In particular, a man dotes on his wife very much. He feeds his wife first when they have two dishes, and when she is full, he eats some leftovers.
Wang Wenshan thought that he loved his wife Chu Fang very much, but he would never eat the food and fruits she had eaten.
It seems that he has not helped her pick up food a few times. Chu Fang sheds tears of gratitude even if he picks up chopsticks every once in a while.
"Master Wang, what are you looking at? Drinking." The noble man in blue reminded him.
He felt that Mr. Wang kept staring at the couple, which was a bit bad. Although ordering two dishes was a bit shabby, it was already very good for someone to order two dishes.
These days, the price of meals at Zuixianju has been increased twenty-fold, and two dishes are equivalent to twenty dishes at this time last year.
"Hee hee, Mr. Wang thinks that we couple are too shabby and don't deserve to sit next to you. He wants to drive us away with his eyes."
Jiang Xinyan glanced at her scumbag brother-in-law provocatively and said slowly.
All the gentlemen at the next table: "..."
