Wanjin Lady

Chapter 192 He also kills pigs

The man called Zhao Heng's face fell. "My Lord, before you left, didn't you promise me... that you wouldn't let me do the job of the backyard manager? I can't read a few words, I don't understand the ways of the world, I don't understand the relationships between the various families, whose concubines are whose daughters, whose mistress's rival family is whose, how to arrange seating, I don't understand anything. Last time, the wife of the Tongpan family almost got into a fight with that cousin from the Yunyunsi family--"

"Just do what I tell you to do. Why all the nonsense?" Wei Zheng said with a frown. "If a fight breaks out, why don't you just break it up?"

But...but those women are fierce, they will beat him too if they fight!
He almost got slapped last time.

Zhao Heng secretly offered a bad idea, "My Lord, your backyard is in need of someone to take care of it. It would be best if it were a young lady who is proficient in general affairs. If that doesn't work, Miss Xu from the prefecture's family... didn't she say that she wanted to repay you for saving her life and was willing to do your laundry and mending for you? Otherwise, you can... just..."

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed coldly.

Zhao Heng ran as fast as he could, waving his hands as he ran. "Alright, I'll go prepare a generous gift for the Marquis's junior sister right now!"

As long as you run fast enough, you won’t be beaten!
Wei Zheng held his forehead with his hand. Meng Yuanjie stepped forward and clasped his hands together. "My Lord, Zhao Heng is a rough man. He is not suitable for such interpersonal work. If he fails, it will be a loss of face for you. Anyway, I don't have much to do here, so why don't we..."

Wei Zheng chuckled and his eyes fell on the face of the young man named Meng Yuanjie.

This is the Wei family's first child. Both his parents are in the house, and the whole family gets together, but they can't come up with a plan.

In short, a room full of honest people!
If not for this, after the "Kyoto Incident", when my aunt led people to purge the Wei family, she would not have been so confident in leaving this family behind.

"Alright, the burden on your shoulders is heavy enough." Wei Zheng pinched his brow, looking tired. "It's precisely because Zhao Heng is so unsympathetic, relying only on brute force and loyalty, that he always falls so easily into other people's traps. Asking him to do some housekeeping work will also make him more careful."

Meng Yuanjie nodded, secretly thinking that his master was very thoughtful.

No wonder everyone is willing to follow him wholeheartedly.

"Oh, right. What's going on with Miss Xu from the prefectural family? Didn't we help her find a suitable family?"

Meng Yuanjie's eyes wandered, and he looked guilty. "Miss Xu... refused to get married and insisted on waiting for your return. She came to our courtyard every now and then to inquire about you. She was a delicate young lady, and our subordinates were all rough men, so it was difficult to chase her away. Later, our brothers were annoyed by her questions and had to avoid her by walking through the backyard."

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with impatience. "You can't even handle a mere young lady? Then what are you doing with your salary? Can I still expect you to kill the Japanese with your swords?"

Meng Yuanjie lowered his head, feeling aggrieved.

Didn’t the Marquis also avoid Madam Xu when he met her before?

Madam Xu is a demon! She's not just delicate and sweet, but... soft-spoken and courteous to everyone. With her large, watery eyes and graceful demeanor, she's even more delicate than a flower bud, as if even a harsh word to her would be blasphemy.

Especially when she bit her teeth lightly, her eyes misty, and asked softly, "Is the Marquis really not coming back today?"

"You won't be back tomorrow?"

"Then when will he come back?"

"Oh, okay, I'm fine. I'm willing to wait for him."

Just ask... who can stand this!

However, Meng Yuanjie never contradicted Wei Zheng. He listened to everything the Marquis said. If the Marquis was wrong, he would just ignore it.

So Meng Yuanjie cleverly changed the subject, "Master, you really can't remember anything? It's been four or five months, almost half a year, since you disappeared. Were you detained?"

Wei Zheng frowned, his gaze lingering on that memory, which was like a thick fog obscuring everything. "I only remember that after we were separated that day, I was cornered in a back alley by a group of people. They were prepared, and I was seriously injured in the fight. Then a middle-aged man saved me, and that's it... I can't remember anything else."

"That person's appearance... Your Majesty has no impression of him?"

Wei Zheng shook his head. "It's vague, I just remember he was very tall. It was like I fell asleep and when I woke up I was already in the snow forest of Cangshan Mountain. The one who rescued me in the snow forest was a hunter. The head of the family said they found me in the forest and took me home to recuperate."

"I once asked the hunter. He said someone saw me in the mountains, nearly freezing to death, and gave them five ounces of silver, asking them to come and rescue me. Unfortunately, the wind and snow in the forest were so strong that they lost their way. It took them several days and nights to find me in the snow."

Wei Zheng sneered, "If they had come a step later, I would have frozen to death in the forest."

"Who was the messenger?"

"According to the hunters, the messenger had his face covered and was wearing a felt hat, so they couldn't see his face clearly."

"As for how I got to the Snow Forest and my experience, they knew nothing about it."

Meng Yuanjie was also surprised when he heard this, "It's really unbelievable."

Could it be that he was really kidnapped and raped by the female snow demon?
But which demon is so bold as to capture their Lord?

I remember when the Marquis was investigating a female ghost murder case in Kyoto, they were patrolling in the middle of the night when suddenly a female ghost in white appeared hanging in the air in an old house in the city, uttering a mournful and creepy cry. Everyone thought they had seen a ghost and were so scared that they dropped their weapons and ran away.

Only his lord raised his sword and went forward to chop the female ghost in the face.

"No matter what, as long as the Marquis returns safely."

Wei Zheng laughed coldly, "It's not that easy to kill me. Now that I'm back, I should also pick up a few fattened pigs in Tianshui Prefecture and slaughter them."

-------------------------

Just after the New Year, the Wen family held a low-key wedding behind closed doors.

The Wen family has been in turmoil all year last year. Now that Wen Wan has just lost her husband, Wen Weiming is in a hurry to get married, and the woman he marries is his former concubine. If this is revealed in Ping County, the people will talk about it for a lot after dinner.

How to do.

When you become famous, you are prone to gossip, and Ping County is on the hot search list every day.

Liu Yiyi was quietly promoted to become Old Man Wen's legal wife.

The Wen family only invited some close relatives and friends, and quietly set up five or six tables in the yard to complete the ceremony.

The Liu family treated it as if they were marrying off their daughter for the first time, and they held an extremely lively banquet, with more than ten or twenty tables set up, determined to let all the people in Ping County know that Concubine Liu was now Madam Liu.

Normally, women in the Chen Dynasty had to observe mourning for at least a year after their husbands died, but Wen Wan was a girl who stayed at home to find a husband, so there were not so many rules.

After Zhao Heng's funeral was held with great fanfare, Wen Wan began to move around after the New Year.

The people of Ping County were talking about the widow whose husband had died and who was pregnant, but they couldn't stop Wen Wan from going out.
