Chapter 127 Set of Seals
Chapter 127 Set of Seals
Wen Yan and Wan Dongling pretended not to know about this and continued to go about their activities in Penglai Academy as usual.
However, Liao Zhu was very attentive to Wan Dongling, even to an abnormal degree.
Wen Yan thought that this attitude didn't seem like he was looking for a gunman, but rather like he was looking for a wife.
So many people came before, all of them were men. Liao Zhu would definitely not behave like this, but why did he change now?
It can't be that he really likes Wan Dongling and wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
Wen Yan was so shocked by her own thought that she shuddered and her body felt numb. If this was true, it was really disgusting.
After a few days of observation, I found that the scholars in Penglai Academy can be roughly divided into three types: one is like Liao Zhu, who became a talented person by taking other people's works; one is sincerely here to learn; and the other is willing to have their works taken away, either for wealth or for a better future.
These types of people seem to have only a conflict of interest, but if one suffers, all suffer. It is not easy to pry open someone's mouth.
Among the others, perhaps only the little book boy knows a little more.
Having made up her mind, Wen Yan purchased some food from outside and would treat Tang Xin to a meal every time she met him.
Tang Xin also enjoyed Wen Yan's flattery very much. He was used to it. There were many people in the academy who wanted to use this method to get close to Liao Zhu. Most of them gave him some small change, but this was the first time he gave him food.
But it is definitely Tang Xin’s favorite.
That morning, Wan Dongling was still washing up in the house. Wen Yan took a few meat buns from the small kitchen, wrapped them in oil paper and gave them to Tang Xin: "Thank you for your hard work. Take this."
Tang Xin smiled happily, looking innocent: "Thank you, Aunt Wen."
Wen Yan continued, "I'm going to Tianxianglou with the boss tonight, do you want to come?"
"Tianxianglou?" Tang Xin's eyes lit up. "That place is very expensive! You want to take me with you? Really?"
Wen Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, are you coming?"
"Come!"
As he was speaking, Wan Dongling had already packed up.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and said goodbye tacitly.
Tianxianglou is the best restaurant in Pengcheng. The food there is exquisite and expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
Wen Yan took out a jar of wine from the space. This was peach wine she brewed. She added a lot of miscellaneous seasonings. Now it tasted like peach juice. It would not be intoxicating at first, but the aftereffect was very strong.
Wen Yan had already booked a seat in advance, and when Wan Dongling came back, the two of them left.
Unexpectedly, this time when I went out, I met the beggar from last time after just a few steps.
"You can't go in! There are monsters in there that eat people! The monsters are underground! They get hungry every night! You can't go in! Monsters!"
The beggar's words were incoherent, and this time no one stopped Wen Yan. She finally saw the man's face clearly... He seemed a little familiar, but Wen Yan thought about people of this age in her mind, and there was no one who matched.
Wan Dongling tugged at Wen Yan's sleeve: "Let's go quickly, it's getting late."
Wen Yan nodded slightly, and without thinking too much, she rushed to Tianxiang Tower.
Not long after the two arrived, Tang Xin also came. He was now very nice to Wen Yan, not only because of Wen Yan's excellent cooking skills, but also because in his line of work, many people were only respectful on the surface, but actually looked down on him.
But Wen Yan was different. He could feel that she treated him very well, from the inside out.
Wen Yan ordered a table full of dishes, all of which were Tianxianglou's signature dishes, and she specially chose a private room which was quiet and upscale.
"Tang Xin, come here quickly!" Wen Yan called out quickly.
Tang Xin sat down opposite the two of them. After all, he was still a child, and when he saw the dazzling array of food, he couldn't bear to blink for a moment.
"Okay, there's no need for us to be restrained. Just be casual." Wen Yan smiled and took out a small jar from the chair beside her. "This is the juice I made recently. Try it."
Tang Xin quickly took the small tea bowl beside her and asked, "Auntie Wen, what is juice?"
"It's fruit juice. This one is peach juice, and a little grape juice is added to it. The taste is very special. Try it." Wen Yan poured a glass for Wan Dongling as well, "Try it."
Wen Yan had discussed this with Wan Dongling before, and she knew that this was wine, not juice at all.
But Wan Dongling lowered her head and took a sip, her eyes lit up, "Delicious!"
Tang Xin also exclaimed: "How is this made? How does it taste so... unique and delicious?"
After three rounds of drinking, Tang Xin finally got drunk, but he had never drunk before and had no idea that he was drunk.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Yan asked quietly, "Tang Xin, do you still remember whose servant you are?"
"Of course... of course it's... the famous Liao Zhu! Don't you know him?"
Tang Xin had already started to talk nonsense, so Wen Yan curled her lips and continued to ask: "Let me ask you, how many people have come to Penglai Academy recently?"
"Why do you know this? These are not things you should know!" Tang Xin still maintained basic consciousness, but his other hand reached for the wine again.
Wen Yan quickly pressed him down, "If you don't answer, I won't give you any wine."
"You..." Tang Xin pointed at Wen Yan, but still failed. He was just a coward. "Okay, what did you ask just now?"
Wen Yan continued: "Before Wan Dongling came, how many other people came?"
"This is too much."
"Then let me put it another way. Who were the two people before she came?"
Tang Xin thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "It seems to be two men."
"Which two?"
"One is called Yang Mu, and the other is called Liu An Shou, who is very arrogant. However, this Liu An Shou is not as good as Yang Mu."
Wen Yan's face was solemn, the corners of her lips drooped, and she asked coldly: "Then where are they now?"
"Captain Liu, you have met him before, haven't you?" Tang Xin reached out to grab the wine. "He is...hiccups, the beggar you saw in the alley on the first day you came here."
Wen Yan grabbed his arm: "What about Yang Mu?"
"Yang Mu... Yang Mu..." Tang Xin hung his head and thought for a while, then smiled foolishly, "I don't know."
After saying that, he fell asleep.
Wen Yan shook him, but the boy was already completely drunk.
Wan Dongling looked at Wen Yan a little worriedly: "Mom, what should we do now? Yang Mu is really here..."
"He also mentioned someone."
"You mean, the suspect in the case? But we saw him today. He is not in his right mind now. Can we really get anything out of him?"
Wen Yan looked out the window as the night deepened. She said slowly, "But since he is here, he must have something he wants to say. The words of a madman are sometimes more credible than those of a normal person."
