Wanjin Lady

Chapter 118 The Truth
Zhu Wang comforted Yuan Jing indifferently, "So what if she figured it out? Didn't you and I plan to get rid of Manager Wen anyway? Even if we caught the wrong person, what if we could scare her?"

"You're not the one taking the blame, so naturally you can make sarcastic remarks!"

Yuan Jing wandered around the house uneasily. Before leaving, his father told him that they had to do business cleanly in the past few years so that no one could find any evidence against them. If they were to reveal their true colors and affect Cheng Yunzhang's career, they would be punished according to the family rules!

What he was afraid of was not Wen Wan’s revenge.

He was only worried about what Cheng Yunzhang had said that day about Mr. Qiushan accepting Wen Wan as his disciple!
If Wen Wan really became Yao Shizhen's female disciple, and suddenly became Cheng Yunzhang's junior sister, her status would naturally be much higher than his. If his aunt knew that he used this despicable method to deal with Cheng Yunzhang's junior sister...

trouble!

trouble!

After all, what he was afraid of was the aunt in Bozhou's thundering methods!

Yuan Jing was really angry. Why was that girl always so lucky?!

Yuan Jing felt that this was strange. He kept asking Zhou the Accountant, "Old Zhou, what did you tell them? We had clearly agreed on this beforehand, so why did you suddenly attack that girl?"

Yuan Jing's voice was filled with sinister intent. "Are you the one behind this?!"

Accountant Zhou cried out in injustice, "Sixth Master, swear to God, our family and Shopkeeper Wen only had a business dispute. How could I harm her for no reason? Those thieves... have absolutely no credibility! Before I left, I repeatedly told them not to touch that girl! They swore to heaven that they would send her back at daybreak! But we were courting disaster, and we were robbed and taken advantage of... How could this be brought upon me?"

"Sixth Master, you're really wronging me by saying that to me!"

Zhu Wang watched coldly, feeling disgusted by Yuan Liulang's despicable methods. Although he was not a good person, he never thought of putting the chastity of a bad girl before himself. Especially when Lu Ping was carried back, the people of Ping County saw it clearly. It was obvious that she had suffered inhuman abuse that night.

Now it seems that the last time Yuan Liulang was defeated by Wen Wan in Bingzhou, it was because Yuan Jing himself was not as skilled as the other party.

So, he slowly opened his mouth to persuade, "Accountant Zhou was also tricked by those bandits, it's not his fault. The most urgent thing is to find those robbers and hand them over to the authorities!"

Accountant Zhou's face changed slightly, and he tried to dissuade him: "How can we send him to the authorities? If he bites us, what will we do?!"

Shopkeeper Zhu started to give random advice, "Then let's catch him and send him to the Wen family! Let Shopkeeper Wen handle it!"

Yuan Jing was furious!
What is the difference between giving it to Wen Wan and giving it to an official?
This Zhu Wangpi is simply a shit stirrer!

"No, if we do that, won't it make us look guilty and afraid of the Wen family?"

Accountant Zhou's words really touched Yuan Jing's heart.

Just now, when he heard that his subordinates had turned against him and tortured the girl next to Wen Wan to death, he was immediately panicked. Now that he thought about it, wasn't Wen Wan still a disciple of Yao Shizhen?
As long as things are not set in stone, he will find a way to ruin them!
Yuan Jing was frightened.

Fortunately, when Cheng Yunzhang pressed him that day, he did not reveal the truth at all, and he just pretended to be good and pitiful, so he managed to get away with it.

Cheng Yunzhang is a well-mannered and upright guy. What if he hands me over to "kill my relatives for the sake of justice"?
Thinking of this, Yuan Jing calmed down a lot. He exhaled hard and said, "It's done. There's no point in saying more."

Accountant Zhou's wrinkled brows relaxed, and a hint of joy lingered in his tone, "Sixth Master is wise. Manager Wen caused us to lose so much cash on our books, and now we only have to pay one maid...that's a bargain for her! Since the deed has already been done, we might as well admit it generously."

Seeing Yuan Jing's expression soften, Accountant Zhou continued, "No matter how capable Manager Wen is, she's still a weak woman. This time, she might have been scared out of her wits and thrown into chaos!" "In that case, Sixth Master can just charge straight in and take the Wen family's winery with ease. What do we have to fear?"

"Why would I bother her?!" Yuan Jing retorted with a look of surprise. Accountant Zhou quickly said no, "That's right, that's right. Sixth Master Yuan is so wise and powerful, how could he be afraid of this little local tyrant? I think now is a good time to fish in troubled waters. If Sixth Master uses a little trick again, there will be no place for the Wen family in Ping County anymore!"

Yuan Jing doesn't like people flattering him, but this time... this flattery... makes him feel comfortable all over!
Zhu Wang wanted to run away.

He originally just wanted to teach Wen Wan a lesson, and preferably make her return the money she had lost, but he didn't expect Yuan Liulang to use such a despicable trick right away!

Yuan Liulang is aggressive and unscrupulous, but are the father and daughter of the Wen family vegetarians?
Zhu Wang is clear-headed. He is different from Yuan Liulang.

During the trip to Bingzhou, Yuan Liulang lost all his fortune, and he also signed a military order with Bozhou, determined to take over the Wen family winery. The conflict between the two families escalated, and it seemed like a life-and-death battle.

But what about him?
He only lost a few hundred thousand taels, and he had a good relationship with the father and daughter of the Wen family, so naturally he was unwilling to get involved in this dire straits.

How to get out of this situation is a big problem.

Zhu Wang was worried.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

But please don't let the two families fight with each other and drag Old Zhu into it!
When Wen Wan came out of the winery, dusk was falling.

Lanterns were lit in front of the winery, and the workers in the yard had already finished work and started to eat. All that could be heard was the clatter of pots and pans, the sizzling of hot oil in the pot, and the aroma filling the air.

She had been restless these past few days, and even the guys at the winery had noticed it. But after just a few steps, Feng Shuigen and another man still personally escorted her to the door, holding lanterns.

Feng Shuigen hesitated all the way, and finally saw Zhao Heng's figure under the crooked tree in front of the door. He couldn't help but ask her, "Young Master, how is Lu Ping?"

That day, when Lu Ping was carried into the city, although her brother-in-law rented a carriage to bring her back covered, there is no such thing as a permeable wall in this world. The people of Ping County were talking about what happened to Lu Ping that night.

In the past few days, the people of Ping County have been wondering how Wen Wan will deal with this girl. Will she be drowned in a pond, sent back home, or sent to a nunnery?

But how could the guys at the winery bear it?
The little girl Lu Ping was a good cook. She had cooked for them several times before at the winery. She always called everyone "brother" sweetly. Such a pretty girl was ruined beyond recognition.

The guys in the winery haven't been in the mood to work these past two days. Most of them are worried about that girl, but this kind of thing... is hard to ask.

Another person also looked anxious, "Young Master, please say something. We are all worried about that girl!"

In the yellow light of the lantern, the young lady's face was pale and her smile was forced.

"She'll be alright."

Will be fine?
What does this mean?
Feng Shuigen didn't understand, so he asked, "What does the young master plan to do with her?"
