Wanjin Lady

Chapter 166 Everyone has their own plans
Wen Weiming expressed his incomprehension of the pig's sudden enthusiasm. This pig really had no self-awareness at all. He had been secretly colluding with Yuan Liulang behind Wen Weiming's back and almost took away the Wen family winery. Now that Yuan Liulang was dead, all these debts were written off?
Oh, what a beautiful thought!
As Wen Weiming walked forward, the pig stuck close to him and spitted at his face.

"Brother Wen, say a few nice words to your niece... Tell her that I, Old Zhu, have done a great job today. Tell her not to be too sad. Even if a man dies, his wife can remarry, so why can't she find another son-in-law? We can just find a good one - Hey, hey, hey, brother, why did you leave?"

At the mourning hall, Hongmei glanced around and made sure no one was around before quietly pushing a meat pie towards her. "Miss, please eat this first. Don't let the young master get too hungry."

There were monks chanting in the mourning hall, and incense ashes were scattered everywhere. The people coming and going were so suffocated that Wen Wan felt nauseous several times.

Now she has pregnancy symptoms and feels uncomfortable moving, sitting or lying down...any posture.

In today's scene, Wen Wan, as the "newest pretty widow in Ping County", naturally has people paying attention to her every move.

She had just taken a bite of the meat pie when someone in the corner stared at her, "Although this Shopkeeper Wen is marrying into the family and doesn't need to observe a three-year mourning period, he's already been eating meat before his husband's body is even cold..."

Someone immediately retorted, "This old man may not know this, but even though Shopkeeper Wen's husband is dead, she's pregnant with a child!"

"Ah..." The man's voice was choked in his throat.

It would be difficult for this widow with a child to find a husband...
Shopkeeper Wen… has such a miserable life!

"Manager Wen...my condolences..."

Wen Wan looked up and saw Liu Hui from the Cao Gang. He had come with his wife to offer condolences, and his face was slightly anxious.

Wen Wan then instructed Hong Mei, "Go greet Madam Liu."

The front yard was crowded with people, and all the important people in Ping County came to pay their respects. It was not a place to talk, but in the midst of chaos, the two of them walked to a secluded corner to talk.

Liu Hui lowered his voice, "Manager Wen, you know about Yuan Liulang's matter... all three branches of the Yuan family are here!"

Wen Wan sighed, her eyes reddening as she spoke, "Yuan Liulang died young... How pitiful... How could God be so blind? I saw him just half a month ago, how could this happen..."

"To be honest..." Liu Hui frowned slightly and glanced around. "Yuan Liulang came to see me a few days before he died! As soon as he arrived, I immediately asked someone to take a letter to Shopkeeper Wen. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wen received it?"

The young woman suddenly looked terrified. If it weren't for the strict rules between men and women, she would have covered his mouth with her hands. "Brother Liu! This matter is known to heaven and earth, you and me. You must never tell anyone else!"

The woman's voice was trembling. "Brother Liu, you shouldn't have done that. You can't have impulsively given Yuan Liulang to—"

"Even if Yuan Liulang knew that you and I had teamed up to trick him into losing several thousand taels of silver in the gambling house, he is still a member of the Yuan family in Bozhou. You shouldn't just kill him off like that..."

"Now that the people from the third branch of the Yuan family have left, this matter... has fallen into oblivion... I'll just pretend I know nothing about it!"

Liu Hui was confused by what she said, and then frowned, "Manager Wen, do you suspect that I killed Yuan Liulang?"

The young lady pursed her lips stubbornly, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Oh my God!" Liu Hui cried out in injustice, "That Yuan Liulang came to me for refuge, and I treated him to fine wine and delicious food, but he suddenly ran away—"

"Yes, then why did he suddenly run away..." the young lady raised her head and asked, "It must be... He must have known something and was hiding from Brother Liu! And it is said that the body was also found downstream of Taohua Creek, not far from where Boss Liu is!"

Liu Hui had never felt so wronged, yet Wen Wan's deduction... sounded perfectly reasonable. This was truly... impossible to explain!
His mind was dazed, and he could only repeat: "Shopkeeper Wen, I really didn't kill him!"

"If it wasn't Gang Leader Liu... could it be me?" Wen Wan's eyes trembled slightly, her tone mocking, "Did a powerless pregnant woman like me kill him? Or was it my dead husband who killed him? Or was it my father, who's over fifty and whose hands and feet are not very agile, who killed him?"

Liu Hui's mind went blank after being confronted by her. With that said... damn it... he really was the biggest suspect!

"Don't worry." The young lady's eyes were firm. She let out a breath and calmed herself. "This is an unsolved case. The county government will never find the murderer. Let's keep this between you and me. From now on, we are... like grasshoppers on the same rope... As I said just now, this matter is known to heaven, earth, you, and me!"

Know...oh my god!
He didn't do anything damn!

Just for a few thousand taels of silver, he ended up covered in shit.

If Yuan Liulang had not been rude to his subordinates several times while on his boat, he, as a protective man, would have been looking for ways to teach him a lesson. That's why he and Wen Wan hit it off and set up a gambling scam to cheat him out of a thousand taels of silver.

Liu Hui felt that he had never felt so aggrieved before, especially since the young lady seemed to be trying to hide it for him, which made him feel speechless.

It's over. This time my crotch is covered with mud. It's shit, if not shit.

Liu Hui tossed and turned, and could only say one sentence, "It really wasn't me!"

Wen Wan nodded with a firm look on her face, "Yes, it definitely wasn't done by Brother Liu!"

Liu Hui: There is a feeling of helplessness when facing my old wife who still has charm, and I want to force myself on her but cannot.

When Liu Hui walked away, his steps were staggering, and he was obviously doubting his life.

Meanwhile, the eldest uncle, unwilling to give up, found Wen Yue. Regardless of how busy she was, he came up and asked, "Wen Yue, I heard Wen Wan... is pregnant?"

Ever since Wen Yue learned that Zhao Heng fell off a cliff and died without a trace of body, the anger, resentment and jealousy in her heart were replaced by a trace of tenderness. After all, she was the girl she had watched grow up, and now Wen Wan was a widow at such a young age. As her aunt...she also felt a little distressed.

She was completely oblivious to the inquiry in her uncle's tone and glanced at Wen Wan, who was dressed in mourning in the hall. "Yes, I just asked the second child... She said she's just pregnant... Well, at least there's a thought, so I won't be alone for the rest of my life."

"This is really..." The uncle gritted his teeth, but he didn't lose his mind in front of everyone. He just smiled very ugly, "This is really good news."

Finish the ball.

Ever since hearing that Zhao Heng's body was torn into pieces, my uncle's heart began to burn with anger again.

I've already recruited a son-in-law once, but can I recruit one a second time?
Anyway, Wen Weiming has no descendants, so in the end he has to choose a child from the clan to adopt!

Pian Wenwan is pregnant!

Now, the uncle can only hope that Wen Wan will give birth to a daughter, so this matter... still has room for manipulation.

Wen Weiming consulted a fortune teller and learned that Zhao Heng's body could not be found, so they could only find some of his clothes to build a cenotaph, and then keep the body in the front yard for three days before they could pray for his soul.
