Wanjin Lady

Chapter 161 Get the Script
Wen Wan sighed, "It's too hasty to conclude that the headless corpse is Yuan Jing based solely on a piece of clothing. Master Cheng, don't worry. Maybe that person isn't Yuan Liulang at all."

Cheng Yunzhang bowed, "I've already sent a letter home as fast as I can. My uncle and aunt will soon come to Ping County to claim the body. Only then will we know whether it's true or not. But I'd like to thank Shopkeeper Wen for his kind words. Shopkeeper Wen, if there's anything you can do for me, please let me know."

Aunt Chen didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that when Cheng Yunzhang turned and left, a look of relief appeared on the young lady's face.

Wen Wan loosened her slightly curled fingers and found that her palms were full of sticky cold sweat.

Fortunately.

Zhao Heng left.

Yuan Jing’s death was destined to become a case without a clear end.

Aunt Liu kept saying "bad luck" several times. Hongmei was frightened but could not hide her joy. "Miss, now that Yuan Liulang is dead... doesn't that mean our winery is completely safe?"

When Yuan Liulang ran away, the servants in the Wen family were trembling with fear, fearing that one day Yuan Liulang would gather enough money and make a comeback.

Now that he is dead, the people in the house feel relieved!

Only Wen Wan knew that not only Yuan Liulang was dead, but also Yuan Wulang.

Wenjia Winery has not escaped the crisis.

Wen Wan just didn't say anything as she looked at the people in front of her who all looked happy.

Life is hard now. The entire Wen family is immersed in the shadow of the uncertainty of the son-in-law's life or death. Let them have some fun for a while.

Cheng Yunzhang returned to the carriage with nothing, and accidentally saw the jewelry box on the table.

Inside lay a jasper hairpin.

That day, when Wen Wan came to the Yao family, he saw the jade hairpin that Wen Wan was wearing. The next day, when he was fishing with his teacher, he accidentally found the hairpin in the grass. He had wanted to give it to Wen Wan today, but he was worried about his sixth cousin and completely forgot to return the hairpin.

Cheng Yunzhang sighed slightly, closed the wooden box, and could only wait until next time to return it to Miss Wen.

The news that the headless male corpse in Ping County was Yuan Liulang spread quickly. Not only were the people living at the foot of the mountain talking about it, but even the search teams scattered on Lingshan Mountain heard the news.

Yuan Liulang is from the Cheng family of Bozhou, a wealthy family!

Coupled with the turmoil between Yuan Liulang, the Wen family, and Qianjin Casino, Yuan Liulang can be said to be a prominent figure in the entire Ping County!

Such a famous figure just died like that?

The death was so tragic?

For a while, speculation about who was the murderer of Genrokuro was rampant.

Wen Weiming and Zhu Wang were searching for Zhao Heng on the mountain.

Zhu Wang had already asked seven or eight men from the granary to help him look for the missing person, but when he heard the constant noises in the city, he could no longer sit still. He also wanted to show off in front of Yaksha, so he simply went up the mountain.

Later, he fell into the lower reaches of Taohua Creek and encountered Wen Weiming, the leader of the team. Coincidentally, he heard the Wen family's servants talking about Yuan Jing's affairs. He was immediately frightened. He covered his trembling heart, pushed aside the servants who were blocking his way, and rushed forward: "How could he be dead? There's no head yet, how can you be sure it's Yuan Liulang?"

Even though Yuan Liulang was a bit at odds with him, and Zhu Wang looked down on Yuan Liulang on weekdays, it was a living life after all!
What's more, the boy is so young!
"Oh, Shopkeeper Zhu! Mr. Cheng has already gone to identify the body. I'm afraid the Yuan family will come to Ping County to pick him up in a couple of days! There shouldn't be any problems!"

Zhu Wang almost fell to the ground, "This kid...didn't this kid run away? Why is he back again? Is he back to find Wen——"

He swallowed back the words "Wen Family Demon" in time, as if he had just swallowed back the saliva that was about to spill.

"Did he come back to find me?" Shopkeeper Zhu changed his words in time, a trace of sadness on his face. "He must have come back to seek refuge with me! Oh, my poor brother Yuan... How could he have met with such an unexpected accident at such a young age——"

The servant next to him winked at him and said, "Master, Manager Wen has left!"

Zhu Wang wiped away his empty tears, got up from the ground, and patted the mud off his butt. The sadness on his face was gone.

In the final analysis, he and Yuan Liulang just had a "fleeting romance", so just a few mourning remarks would be enough!

That Yaksha from the Wen family... is his real ancestor!
Look. Look.

In the past, those who went against that Yaksha had a bad ending.

Anyone who goes against that Yaksha now will die a miserable death.

Zhu Wang blew his nose, rubbed his sticky fingers on the tree trunk, and moved his trembling belly. "Don't rest! Go find that yaksha man from the Wen family for me! Whoever finds him will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!"

"Oh right! Tomorrow, when the sun comes out, watch out for the reflections on the riverbank! That Yaksha man is wearing a mask, so he'll definitely be visible in the sun!"

Wen Weiming suddenly heard the news of Yuan Jing's death, left Zhu Wang and ran to the Wen family.

It was already daybreak. Old Man Wen had been up all night, his body tired and sore, but his eyes were bright. As soon as he entered the house, he rushed to Wen Wan's room, "My daughter! Yuan Jing... Yuan Liulang... is dead! Dead!"

Wen Weiming made a lot of noise as soon as he entered the room, and was glared at by Aunt Liu for no reason!
In the past two days, Aunt Liu has been guarding Wen Wan every step of the way, fearing that Wen Wan might have a sudden thought and hang herself with a rope like Lu Ping.

Wen Wan had just fallen asleep when Wen Weiming came in. Aunt Liu rolled her eyes several times and said, "Master, there are differences between men and women. Please knock on the door next time you enter."

Aunt Liu was extremely polite in her words, completely treating Wen Weiming as the boss, which made Wen Weiming feel uncomfortable. Since he was in the wrong, he seemed tongue-tied and stood there hesitantly, not knowing where to put his hands for a moment.

Fortunately, Wenwan woke up.

Wen Wan hadn't actually fallen asleep. She'd slept through the night with the lamp on. Anyone who saw the light burning in her room would have thought she'd been up all night. Early in the morning, Chen Ma and Hong Mei took turns visiting her, offering her a feast, shoulder massages, and leg rubs. She was having a good time.

From now on, she must always play the role of "a poor widow with a posthumous child".

So, with drooping eyebrows, slightly pursed lips, and slightly furrowed eyebrows, she looked miserable.

Seeing Wen Wan wake up, Father Wen lowered his voice by two degrees and said in a low and confident voice: "Son, are you awake? Did Dad wake you up?"

Wen Wan sat up weakly. She hadn't dressed up in two days, and she looked even more haggard. "It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyway."

These words made both Old Man Wen and Aunt Liu's hearts tremble.

"Dad just said Genrokuro?"

"Yes, I heard that... the headless man in Ping County a few days ago... was Yuan Jing?"

Wen Wan pursed her lips, her expression complicated, "Yes. Cheng Yunzhang came that day to ask me if I had met Yuan Jing before."

Wen Weiming said harshly, "What does he mean? Is he... suspecting you?"

"Probably not. Cheng Yunzhang was just asking casually. After all, Yuan Jing only knew a few families in Ping County. I told him that Yuan Liulang owed money to my winery and would definitely not come to see me and humiliate himself. Then he left."
