Wanjin Lady

Chapter 168 Climbing the Stars
Wen Weiming was feeling complicated at the moment, feeling both aggrieved by his daughter's boldness and his own stupidity. He knew his daughter was not wrong, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He exhaled heavily, "Where did Master Tu send the person? If you're going to do it, do it to the death. Don't give him the chance to come back and take revenge!"

"I asked Master Tu to send him north. He won't be able to come back in a short time!" Wen Wan had already started, so she naturally revealed the whole thing. "And there's no mark on Zhao Heng's face!"

Wen Weiming was horrified when he heard this. It seemed that not only was Zhao Heng's name fake, but even his identity and appearance were fake!
If this isn’t a wanted criminal of the imperial court, what is it?
Even if he is not a wanted criminal of the imperial court, he must have a lawsuit or a murder on his hands, otherwise why would he need to change his appearance and identity!

The more Wen Weiming thought about it, the more frightened he became. He stood up and paced anxiously. After thinking for a long time, he said fiercely, "If he comes back, we will just disown him! Everyone knows that my son-in-law, Wen Weiming, has a scar on his face, but he doesn't! Besides, no one has ever seen his true face!"

Wen Weiming suddenly realized, "No wonder you made him cover his face with a mask from the beginning! Were you planning to kill the father and keep the son from the beginning?"

Wen Wan hesitated, "Didn't Dad say that he has dark eyes and a ruthless heart, and is not something you can easily find. I listened to my father and was on guard against him from the beginning."

Wen Weiming flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't blame me!"

Now is not the time to assign blame!
Wen Weiming's chest was heaving, he always felt that this matter revealed danger. Previously he was worried about how to explain to the Zhao family, but now it seems that he has to be on guard against that kid seeking revenge first!
That kid... ever since he married into the Wen family... Wen Weiming has never been able to figure him out!
But Wen Weiming was still furious. He pointed at Wen Wan's nose and cursed, "I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen anyone eager to become a widow!"

Wen Wan scratched her head, "Didn't you see it?"

Wen Weiming: Where is his feather duster?

Wen Wan comforted him, "Father, that's not the case. Zhao Heng is not someone you can mess with, and I, Wen Wan, have plenty of tricks up my sleeve. Besides, I'm pregnant, so even if he comes back for revenge, he won't kill the mother of his child."

Wen Weiming's expression relaxed.

This is true.

Tiger venom doesn't even eat seeds.

"But..." Father Wen sighed heavily. Now that things have come to this, what else can he do? "What are you going to do in the future?"

"In the future?" The young lady's eyes were blazing. "Of course, I want to eat and drink well, have enough food and clothing, have my own hobbies, and have someone to rely on for my love."

"I want to expand the Wen Family Winery and sell Bifang wine to Bozhou, all over the country, and even to the Emperor!"

"Father, I still have a long life ahead of me, and my wish is very simple. I just want to make a fortune before I die!"

"Looking up, I see the vast universe, the sun, moon, and stars are at my fingertips."

"I don't want to seek work in this world, so a little laziness is fine."

"Life is just a fleeting few decades, and for me... it's just the beginning. My daughter still has a lot of things to do. Now that Zhao Heng is gone, I won't be constrained. I can fly higher!"

The young lady's eyes were bright as she spoke word by word, "Father, the scenery from a high place is the most beautiful!"

The pinnacle of power and money…how could it not be beautiful?

"One day, we will no longer be controlled by others! The Bozhou Yuan family... will crawl at my feet sooner or later!"

Wen Weiming seems to have never really understood his daughter.

At this moment, he saw his daughter's ambition. That ambition was like an evergreen tree with vigorous vitality, constantly climbing up towards Haotian!

Overcome!

She thought that making money was so easy and doing business was so easy?!

The Yuan family alone is enough to give the Wen family a hard time, not to mention the Cheng family!

He should have scolded her like this—

As soon as the words came out, they turned into: "Good boy, you have ambition! You are worthy of being my Wen Weiming's child!"

Hey.

Why is this mouth out of control?
His blood was boiling! "You have this heart, your father will definitely support you. As for that Cheng family of Bozhou... let them eat shit!"

"May our family live a peaceful, smooth, healthy and wealthy life!"

A gentle smile.

Okay.

Old Man Wen's painting style was completely distorted by her.

Who would have thought that this little old man, who was eager to try, was lying in bed planning his funeral three months ago?
This shows that a chicken dad is a must.

Coming out of Wen's house, Cheng Yunzhang was in a daze. Hongmei noticed him and asked him, "Sir, are you here to look for my daughter?"

The Wen family is headed by women, so there are not so many rules about the separation of men and women.

If it were any other family, if a foreign man came to visit a young widow whose husband had just died, they would definitely talk on the streets of Ping County for ten days or half a month.

Cheng Yunzhang was dressed in a white brocade robe, and the black veil wrapped around his arms made him look even more haggard than usual, but he still smiled. "I didn't see anyone. It's too late, and Shopkeeper Wen must have gone to bed. I'll come with the teacher tomorrow."

Back in the carriage, Cheng Yunzhang lifted the curtain with his bare hands and glanced at the white lanterns hanging under the corridor.

The night wind blew gently, and the white silk oil lamp was blown all over the place.

The son-in-law of the Wen family is not dead.

Instead, Wen Wan left the father behind and kept the son.

He suddenly remembered the words the young lady said with a firm look in her eyes when they were fishing that day.

"So what? If there's no precedent, let's just make one now."

That day at the bookstore, he overheard the young woman laughing and cursing, and with a few words, she drove away her hypocritical and cowardly third cousin.

"If I were a man, I would go to my aunt's house and pee in front of the main gate, and ask the whole family to come out and look at themselves."

That day in the winery, she generously gave her teacher the solution to the Four Symbols Convergence.

"It doesn't matter what I am. I'm just a person who loves mathematics."

Shopkeeper Wen...you are such a strange person.

It's so strange... as if I were an outsider who accidentally broke into this law-abiding and utilitarian world.

It was as if there were faint ripples in his heart. When the wind blew, the ripples circled and made his mind gradually unclear.

Deep in the man's eyes, there was a hint of residual light, a hint of confusion and struggle. In his hand, he held a gentle jade hairpin, and his red lips moved. "I look around and see the vast universe. The sun, moon and stars are all within my reach."

Shopkeeper Wen has already climbed to the top of the sun, moon and stars, but he is still trapped in this square, airtight box.

Shopkeeper Wen dared to expose the truth, but he couldn't breathe in this box.

He...is not even one ten-thousandth as free and easy as Miss Wen!
--------------------------

Zhao Heng's body was kept for three days before being taken out of Wen's house. On the third day, Mr. Yao came with his wife and student Cheng Yunzhang. They walked around the front yard and found Wen Wan, who was wearing hemp mourning clothes, among the crowd of people who came to pay their respects.

The young lady looked weak and pale, with a small white flower on her ear, and she looked helpless like duckweed blown by the wind.

Madam Yao held Wen Wan's hand, unable to hold back her tears. "Last time we parted, I said I'd invite your husband to our house for a small gathering. I never imagined... There are unpredictable events in the world, and misfortunes and blessings are inevitable..."
