Chapter 463 Sheng Lan Enters Beijing
Duke Zhong Yi's Mansion.
Wang Wenzhou was feeding the dog a few pieces of meat.
There are four large wolfhounds left, two of which are pregnant. Wang Wenzhou plans to choose the cutest puppy and name it Ruru. Of course, he can't let Liu Rushi know about this. Although Wang Wenzhou is a conman, he still has some principles; he can't bear to refuse Gao Guilan's dying wish.
Jiang Xuyang rushed over and said urgently, "Dad, let's go!"
"What's wrong?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
Jiang Xuyang said with a smile, "Hurry up, Lanlan Niang and Rongrong Niang are here."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wenzhou quickly threw the meat in his hand to the dog and ran off excitedly, ignoring Jiang Xuyang chasing after him.
Wang Wenzhou was very excited; it had been a long time since he had seen the two babies.
"Lazy Blue, Lazy Blue, I missed you!" Wang Wenzhou hugged Sheng Lan tightly.
Zhang Rong held her son and looked at Wang Wenzhou with a wronged expression. She had given birth to a son for her nemesis, but the first person he hugged when he entered the room was Sheng Lan.
"Alright, alright." Sheng Lan pushed Wang Wenzhou's hand away and said with a smile, "Why are your hands so oily? They've gotten all over my face."
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "I was feeding the dogs just now and didn't have time to wash my hands."
Wang Wenzhou turned his head and saw Zhang Rong pouting, looking at him with a wronged expression. He quickly hugged Zhang Rong and said with a smile, "Oh! Baby, baby, I missed you!"
Zhang Rong then smiled and said softly, "Husband, look at our son, you haven't named him yet."
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "According to our family's naming rules, his name is Zhang Erhua."
"Thank you, my husband." Zhang Rong smiled slightly.
Zhang Jiao secretly chuckled to herself, thinking, "You little bitch, you've fallen for it!" The second part was a string of insults.
Since Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Qi Siyan, Sheng Lan, and Zhang Rong had never met before, Wang Wenzhou quickly introduced the babies to each other.
Sheng Lan smiled bitterly to herself. Her nemesis was good in every way, except that he was too lecherous. Although she was not happy, she really couldn't be angry with him. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Sheng Lan was really happy to see Wang Wenzhou after so long.
The children got to know each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Wang Wenzhou pulled Sheng Lan away. Sheng Lan hadn't had a proper sleep in so long, she definitely needed to get some.
Sheng Lan blushed and quickly said, "Wang Wenzhou, you haven't seen Zhang Xiaohua yet. Sister Shuiyu, quickly bring Zhang Xiaohua over so your husband can see her."
Shuiyu carried Zhang Xiaohua over.
Wang Wenzhou held Zhang Xiaohua in his arms, looked her over carefully, and felt very gratified. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua didn't look like her ugly mother, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend when she grew up.
"Waaah..." Zhang Xiaohua suddenly burst into tears.
"Why are you crying, you little brat?" Wang Wenzhou said irritably.
"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed softly, quickly took Zhang Xiaohua from her, coaxing the little one while comforting the old one, "Wang Wenzhou, don't be angry, the child is still young and shy around strangers."
Perhaps because of his ugly appearance, Wang Wenzhou didn't like Zhang Xiaohua very much, but Sheng Lan really treated Zhang Xiaohua like her own son.
Watching Sheng Lan gently coax the child, Wang Wenzhou felt a pang of jealousy. He grabbed Sheng Lan's arm and said with a smile, "Lazy Lan, Lazy Lan, I missed you!"
"Alright, stop fooling around. Let me try to appease Zhang Xiaohua first." Sheng Lan smiled slightly.
"Lazy Blue, you're still so beautiful when you smile," Wang Wenzhou flattered.
Zhang Rong felt a pang of sadness. She hadn't seen Wang Wenzhou for a long time, but he treated her like she was invisible, his eyes only on Sheng Lan.
After Wang Wenzhou left Hanshan, the new prefect of Hanshan constantly infiltrated his faction, gradually dismantling Wang Wenzhou's former power base. Wang Wenzhou also came to terms with it; since Zhu Youjian had money, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't fall. He saw no need to continue managing Hanshan. Furthermore, he missed Sheng Lanbao dearly, so he sent Sheng Lan and Zhang Rong to the capital, finally reuniting the family.
Wang Wenzhou hasn't completely given up on Hanshan. After all, he's put a lot of effort into making Hanshan what it is today. The young racing prodigy, Sheng Liang, remains in Hanshan, acting as a mouthpiece for Wang Wenzhou's remote command. Although Wang Wenzhou's power in Hanshan is not what it used to be, his influence still lingers.
Wang Wenzhou hugged Sheng Lan and said with a smile, "Babies, babies, our family is finally reunited. I'll go to the room with Lan Lan to have a chat first, and then we'll have dinner together."
Sheng Lan blushed; her nemesis definitely wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk in bed.
Zhang Rong felt very wronged and looked at Wang Wenzhou with pleading eyes, thinking, "Husband, I also want to have a heart-to-heart talk."
Sheng Lan caught a glimpse of the expectant look in Zhang Rong's eyes and quickly said, "Let's go together, Zhang Rong."
"Mmm!" Zhang Rong smiled slightly. These days, she and Sheng Lan had stayed in Hanshan, and their relationship was very harmonious.
Wang Wenzhou then remembered that there was also Zhang Rong, so he quickly pulled Zhang Rong over and hugged the two babies as they went into the room to have a heart-to-heart talk.
After much effort, Wang Wenzhou finally hosted a welcome dinner for Sheng Lan and Zhang Rong.
Wang Wenzhou had his left arm around Sheng Lan and his right arm around Liu Rushi, looking very happy. He took a sip of wine and asked, "Babies, babies, who will come with me to our son's funeral later?"
"Ah?" Sheng Lan's expression changed, and she asked in surprise, "Husband, which son died young?"
"Sigh..." Liu Rushi sighed and said irritably, "Don't listen to Wang Wenzhou's nonsense, he's going to send a dog to its funeral later."
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed as he explained what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lan frowned. This nemesis is never serious, no matter what.
"Who's going with me?" Wang Wenzhou asked with a smile.
Liu Rushi said irritably, "I'm not going."
Sheng Lan quickly said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."
“Yes, yes, Lanlan and Rongrong must be tired from their journey, they should get some rest.” Wang Wenzhou nodded repeatedly.
Wang Ying and Chen Yuanyuan were still at Tian Wan's residence and had not returned home. None of the children present wanted to accompany Wang Wenzhou to embarrass themselves.
Wang Wenzhou looked at Qi Siyan with a wry smile and said, "Little Yan Yan, the older sisters are all busy. Why don't you come play with me?"
"Alright!" Qi Siyan nodded helplessly.
Qi Siyan felt that many unpleasant things had happened recently because of her. Because she was a White Tiger woman, destined to bring misfortune to her husbands. Therefore, she couldn't bear to refuse Wang Wenzhou's request.
At that very moment, in Qian Qianyi's residence, the Donglin Party leaders all looked worried and at a loss for what to do.
Zhang Fengyi said coldly, "Wang Wenzhou is a mad dog who's gone crazy. There's no need for us to embarrass ourselves with him!"
Qian Qianyi said with a wry smile, "Brother Zhang, how can we not do what we promised the Emperor and Wen Tiren? If we don't, Wang Wenzhou will definitely pin the charge of deceiving the Emperor on us."
Zhang Fengyi frowned and said angrily, "Lord Qian, that mad dog Wang Wenzhou is making us wear mourning clothes for him. If the people see this, how can we face anyone afterward?"
Zheng Sanjun thought for a moment and then said, "In my opinion, we should pretend to be sick."
Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "We are all important officials of the court. If we were to truly wear mourning clothes for a dog, it would be a small matter of losing face for us, but a great matter of damaging the dignity of the court. We will follow Brother Zheng's suggestion and feign illness. However, we cannot let this mad dog, Wang Wenzhou, stay in the capital any longer."
Minister of Rites Qian Shisheng said, "The birthday of King Aungyang of Joseon will be in a few days. The court wants to send someone to offer birthday wishes. Why not send Wang Wenzhou as an envoy to Joseon?"
Zhang Fengyi nodded and said, "Yes! Get Wang Wenzhou away, and it would be best if he never returned to the capital."
