Wanjin Lady

Chapter 143 My Aunt Misled Me
Wen Weiming was not as confident as Wen Wan. In his opinion, everything could change before the ten-day deadline.

But right now, there is no other way except waiting anxiously.

Wen Weiming glanced at her policy paper and thought to himself that her handwriting hadn't improved at all. "You haven't finished writing 'The Art of Business' yet?"

When this was mentioned, Wen Wan transformed into the mad, bloodthirsty and irritable She-Hulk, "It's almost there, don't rush it."

Father Wen teased his daughter, "If it doesn't work, Dad will help you write it."

Wen Wan was annoyed at the moment. She put down her pen and pushed the paper away, looking as if she was going to mess it up. "Come on, I'll give you the pen. You write it."

Father Wen began to grease his feet, "Well, I'm going to go to the Yuan family's yard and see what tricks Yuan Liulang is playing."

Wen Weiming went to spy on military intelligence, and Wen Wan had not completed her strategy. In the afternoon, she took Chen Ma and Hongmei out without saying where they were going. The carriage drove all the way to an open and bright place in the suburbs.

Hongmei asked puzzledly, "Miss, are we here for an autumn outing?"

Wen Wan pointed to the river not far ahead and said, "That's a tributary of Taohua Creek."

"There's a sacred mountain behind it."

"The ground is open and the sun is good."

"Behind me is a bamboo forest."

"It's not far from the official road."

"I've also consulted a fortune teller, and he says this place has good feng shui."

You can truly enjoy the prosperity of the city when you move forward, and you can truly enjoy the tranquility when you move back.

Hongmei and Chen Ma were both staring at her. The young lady was wearing a light blue long dress with dark patterns, and a blue-green embroidered jacket with full sleeves. Her face was fair and pure, and the autumn sunlight falling on her face made her cheeks look even more rosy.

But that mouth never stops saying something shocking.

"Mother Chen, Hongmei, how about moving Lu Ping's grave here?"

Mother Chen was startled, thinking about what Wen Wan said about moving the grave when they buried Lu Ping on the mountain that day. Wen Wan didn't respond at that time, and she thought the girl had forgotten about it long ago!
It turns out that Wen Wan has never given up the idea of ​​moving Lu Ping's grave!

"This..." Aunt Chen knew Wen Wan's feelings for Lu Ping, especially after Lu Ping had that incident. The girl looked calmer than anyone else, but how could she not feel pain in her heart?

After all, Lu Ping suffered for the girl!
Chen Ma's words of advice seemed to be tangled in a thread as they reached her lips. She then said, "This place is good. Lu Ping should like it, but... her parents won't agree."

Hongmei's eyes were red as she spoke, "Her wicked parents just randomly chose a place to bury her, and didn't even think of offering memorials during festivals. Did they intend to let Lu Ping become a wandering ghost?"

"But they didn't get the fifty taels of silver last time, so they must be holding their breath. We want to move the graves... I'm afraid they'll ask for exorbitant prices again!"

Hongmei's crying stopped and she looked at Wenwan helplessly.

The girl has already spent seventy or eighty taels of silver on Lu Ping's funeral!

For an ordinary family, this is an astronomical figure!

Moreover, she was helping the young lady with the account books. She knew that the Wen family was only prosperous on the surface, but in reality, they didn't have much money! Not to mention... the one thousand taels from Xinlong Bank... the repayment time was approaching...

The dead are greatest, but the living... must still live!
The young woman's eyes were icy cold, her pupils deep and unfathomable. "Go tell Lüping's parents that the Wen family mansion is haunted... and they've even gone so far as to the wine shop, hiring a Taoist priest who says the feng shui of Lüping's burial site is bad. If they don't want their family to be cursed by Lüping, they have to agree to move the grave." Chen Ma's eyes lit up with joy. "That's a good idea... only when the knife is on their own hands will they be truly worried!"

Hongmei wiped her tears, looked at Wenwan's thin back, and sniffed, "Okay, I'll go right away! Miss, don't be too sad. I know that girl Luping. She said she would be with you in this life... She didn't lose anything! If there is a next life, she will still be with you!"

A small courtyard on the outskirts of Guangji County.

This is the property owned by the Cheng family of Bozhou, and Yuan Qi settled here with a group of people.

In recent years, the Cheng and Yuan families have purchased real estate in many counties in Tianshui Prefecture to facilitate their business.

The night was deep and dark clouds obscured the moon.

Suddenly, Yuan Qi heard some noise outside the window, and seemed to vaguely hear someone calling him.

I walked to the corner door, opened the back door, and saw Yuan Jing, who was dressed in tattered clothes and looked skinny.

"You are..." Yuan Qi took a deep breath, his heart and lungs filled with cold air, "Liu Lang?"

Yuan Jing was about to squeeze in through the crack in the door, but Yuan Qi propped the door open with his arms and blocked Yuan Jing with his body, not allowing him to enter. "Liu Lang, you... didn't you run away?"

Yuan Jing was completely unaware of Yuan Qi's obstruction and was just wondering why the news spread too quickly!
It had only been a few days, and even Yuan Qi on the street already knew about his affair with the gambling house!

But at the moment, he couldn't find anyone else to help except Yuan Qi.

Although his aunt and stepmother had not gotten along in the past, he and Yuanqi were actually brothers! He was in trouble, and he didn't believe that Yuanqi, his brother, would just watch him go to hell!
He said with a wry smile, "Brother, I did run away. But halfway through, I decided it wasn't a big deal! That gambling house knew I was a member of the Yuan family. Even if I ran away, they could just take the IOU and go to Bozhou to look for me. This... the monk can run away, but the temple cannot!"

He then scrambled back inside, "I know my parents are in there, I'm going to risk it all, I'll just quietly go and beg my father... He'll definitely not just stand by and watch me die!"

Yuan Qi pushed him directly on the chest. Yuan Jing hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, and his footing was unstable. He almost fell backwards. "Brother, what are you doing?!"

Yuan Qi held him down and said in a low voice, "Liu Lang, there are some things you don't know. Let me tell you. Father was furious when he found out you lost money gambling at the casino, and somehow even your aunt found out. This time, the whole family is out... to take you back and punish you..."

Yuan Qi's face darkened as he approached. "You know the Yuan family rules... You can't leave the ancestral hall unless you have an arm or a leg severed."

As expected, Yuan Jing's face changed drastically, and he grabbed Yuan Qi's sleeve in panic, "How could my aunt know this?!"

Yuan Qi threw the question back, his eyes fixed as he asked, "What do you think?"

"It must be my aunt!" Yuan Jing was furious. My aunt always loved to show off. How could she have kept such a big thing as him taking over the Wen family winery a secret? She must have spread the news the moment she got the letter, wishing everyone in the Cheng and Yuan families knew about it!

"Damn it! Damn it! Auntie misled me!"

"Liu Lang, begging for mercy is useless now. The only option is to hide... for ten days or half a month. Once father's anger has subsided, it won't be too late for you to come back." Yuan Qi pretended to take off the pouch from his waist and stuffed it into Yuan Jing's hand. "Besides, mother is here today. If I rashly wake father and alarm her, you... I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today. After all these years, you should know mother's methods."

Yuan Qi's shoulders straightened, shivering like a quail in the wind and rain, "Mother... Mother... She will kill me!"

My mother hates my aunt.

And even hate him.
