Wanjin Lady

Chapter 240 You should change your name
"Zhao Heng?" Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, then subconsciously looked at the tall and mighty black-faced man beside Hou Ji. Her throat rolled, "Your name is Zhao Heng?"

Zhao Heng patted his chest loudly and said, "I will always keep my name and surname. I am Zhao Heng from Shou'an County!"

Wen Wan pulled the corners of her lips and smiled reluctantly.

Wen Wan had heard from Hongmei a long time ago that Wei Zheng had a subordinate named Zhao Heng. Seeing is believing. Now that she saw him with her own eyes, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him.

She was used to the gorgeous and cold appearance of the figurine, but now it was replaced by a dark-skinned, burly big guy, who was grinning at her foolishly. Wen Wan felt very angry.

Case solved.

No wonder Wei Zheng claimed to be Zhao Heng from Shou'an County at that time. It turned out that he was using this guy's pass!
It’s all this boy’s fault. He made her recognize the wrong person!
Hou Ji and Zhao Heng didn't know what words had angered Wen Wan. The young lady's already icy face became even colder. She turned away and said in a cold voice, "Your name is not good. Change it."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the window.

At this moment, the flower boat was about to dock. Everyone on the boat got off. The boatman gave a long shout and threw the thin hemp rope in his hand to the shore. Then the trackers tied the rope to the pier on the shore, and the boat swayed to the shore.

Looking at Wen Wan's receding figure, Zhao Heng sighed, "Why did I offend her again? I didn't say anything!"

Meng Yuanjie smiled and said to him, "Zhao Heng, I told you long ago that ugly people should talk less."

"Hey...you little brat..."

Wen Wan followed the crowd back to the room on the second floor. Qiao Niang and Ying Ying were waiting for him. When they didn't see Wei Zheng coming back, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

They were frightened as soon as they saw the King of Hell.

But this guy is generous and kind!

So Qiao Niang and Ying Ying supported Wen Wan on the left and right, and the three of them got off the boat together.

Na Qiaoniang knew that Wen Wan was a woman, and was annoyed that she had touched her private parts in public before. She flirted with her along the way and pinched her waist, "Madam, have you found your philandering husband?"

Wen Wan could only hold down Qiao Niang's unruly hand, a look of melancholy on her face. "My husband is truly a scoundrel! He actually let a servant pretend to be him and get on this boat! He made a feint to the east and attacked to the west to lure me aboard, and right now, I'm afraid he's enjoying himself in the arms of some woman."

Qiao Niang spoke in a soft Wu dialect, half sincerely and half falsely, admonishing: "Madam, don't worry. Tell us what your husband looks like. If he comes again next time, I will send someone to tell you!"

Wen Wan declined Qiao Niang's offer, "Forget it. Family disgrace should not be made public. Coming here on this flower boat today is already extremely bold. If anyone asks, I hope you two sisters can help me conceal something."

After finally getting off the boat, Master Tu was already anxiously looking out from the dock. Wen Wan had been pulled aboard without a word, but he was left behind. Naturally, he was very anxious. When he saw Wen Wan, he couldn't help but warn her, "Miss, don't go alone next time."

I'm unfamiliar with Bozhou, and if I get lost... there's really no place to find me.

Wen Wan sighed and said, "I met Lord Zhao earlier. He happened to be investigating a case on that flower boat. I thought with his protection along the way, I could also investigate He San. Don't worry, Master Tu. I won't act alone anymore."

Mr. Tu was even more worried about He San. "Did the young lady ask anything crucial?"

Wen Wan looked around cautiously and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

It was already late at night when they returned. Wen Wan asked a waiter at the winery to keep the door open. She and Mr. Tu sneaked back home while everyone was asleep. She went to the room to take a look at Zhaozhao and Hun'er.

The two little guys have grown up slowly, their hair has started to grow thicker, their skin has become pink and chubby, and their little hands and feet are like lotus roots that have been stretched out, white and tender, and very cute.

Chen Ma and Hongmei slept on either side, with the two children's rocking beds in the middle. Hongmei was alert and opened her eyes when she heard the noise. When she saw that it was Wen Wan, she let down her guard.

Wen Wan patted her head and said, "Go back to sleep. I'll take care of the baby."

After a tiring day, both children fell asleep. Wen Wan squatted beside the cradle and gently touched Zhao Zhao's face with her fingers.

Although she didn't want to be a partial mother, the two children were treated completely differently since they were born. As the future leader of the Wen family, Hun'er has been loved since birth. As a mother, she couldn't help but feel that she owed Zhaozhao.

Zhao Zhao was unaware of his mother's favoritism and slept with his arms and legs spread out, his little face flushed, and occasionally a line of crystal clear saliva flowed from his lips.

Sure enough, even when my own child poops...it looks extremely beautiful.

only……

People say daughters look like their fathers. When Zhaozhao grows up, she will be a mini female version of Wei Zheng.

Look at that straight nose, the watery peach blossom eyes, and between the eyebrows... you can vaguely see the handsome appearance of the figure.

"The son of an old friend, the appearance of an old friend—Wenwan held Zhaozhao, unable to stop sighing."

She'd been traveling all this time, and she'd said it wasn't tiring... or exhausting... but that was just a facade for others to see. Only she knew that ever since Father Wen was imprisoned, she'd been plagued by confusion, fear, anxiety, and tension.

Regarding my father’s affairs... Wei Zheng’s help may be indispensable.

But right now...the person she least wants to see is Wei Zheng.

Wen Wan considered herself decisive and never bothered to drag her feet, but now... she was on guard against Wei Zheng on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was thinking about asking Wei Zheng for help. She was really... in a dilemma and unable to make a decision.

Hongmei opened her sleepy eyes and saw that her daughter was still awake in the middle of the night, so she ran over and hugged Miss Zhaozhao and rubbed against her.

Sure enough... the next moment... the little girl Zhaozhao whined twice, and seemed to dislike her old mother's enthusiasm. She kicked her chubby little legs and started crying loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Hun Ge'er also began to groan, and Chen Ma beside him woke up immediately, and the wet nurse next door also got up with a rustling sound.

All of a sudden, all three women came over.

Wen Wan looked at the three people glaring at her. She bowed her head with an innocent look on her face, "I didn't mean to do that. If this doesn't work out, I'll just return the child to you, right?"

Early the next morning, Wen Wan took Master Tu to search every pharmacy in Bozhou City.

Since Widow Wang has syphilis, she must find someone to treat it. Finding her doctor can also indirectly help prove Old Man Wen's innocence.

However, the current evidence is far from sufficient to overturn the verdict.

This left Hou Ji, who had come early in the morning to deliver a message for Wei Zheng, empty-handed. Hou Ji had no choice but to go back and report to Wei Zheng.

They settled in a three-courtyard house on the outskirts of the city, not far from the south gate, making it convenient to enter and exit.

As soon as Hou Ji entered the house, he heard the screams of Mother Yi coming from the backyard. His heart was pounding, and he thought to himself that Mother Yi was really unlucky. Not only was she involved in the smuggling case, but she also had the Duke's relics. If she didn't tell the truth now, she might not be able to leave the house safely.

As soon as he entered the room, he asked Zhao Heng, "Did that Yi Mama... confess?"

There was blood on the corner of Zhao Heng's clothes, obviously he had just watched the interrogation scene later. "She was tortured, but she still insisted that she had never seen the Duke. The Marquis hired an artist to depict the escaped slave based on Mother Yi's description."

But... Mother Yi was still tortured to the point of being unconscious, and she had only seen the escaped slave two years ago. The authenticity and reliability of this painting... need to be studied.

Of course, Zhao Heng didn't dare to say this.

After all, this is a matter of searching for the missing Duke, so no one dares to be careless. They would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

Hou Ji was worried about the smuggling case, "We have stayed in Bozhou for too long—"

Zhao Heng whispered, "From what I heard from the Marquis, I'm afraid he won't be returning to Bingzhou and will have to stay here for a long time."

Hou Ji nodded. He had finally come across a clue about the Duke, and he wasn't willing to give up. He was afraid he wouldn't stop until he had thoroughly investigated Bozhou.

He reminded, "We interrogated Mother Yi all night last night, but there was no useful information. The Marquis is very angry now, so you must be careful and serve him well."

Hou Ji was tipped off by his companions and walked towards the backyard. Wei Zheng was lying on the armchair in the yard with his eyes slightly closed. A wrinkled handkerchief with blood stains was lying on the small table beside him.

Wei Zheng rubbed his forehead, frowning. Hou Ji asked anxiously, "Is your migraine coming back again, Lord? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

Since the Marquis came back, he has suffered from migraines and has had frequent headaches, which are very severe when they occur.

"No problem. What's up?"

"Manager Wen and his servants have gone to look for the doctor who treated Widow Wang."

Wei Zheng said "hmm" as a reply.

Just as Hou Ji was hesitating whether to leave, Wei Zheng spoke again, "Just stay with Shopkeeper Wen. If she needs help or is embarrassed to ask, you can handle it."

As soon as the teacher arrived in Bozhou, he tried every means to meet Yan Shouli, which shows how much he values ​​this adopted daughter. In this case, Wei Zheng couldn't just leave her alone.

From now on, his fellow brothers and sisters will be in Bozhou, and as the eldest brother, he has to take care of them.
