Wanjin Lady

Chapter 250 Miss Sun
But Liu Yiyi's face was hesitant to speak. "Miss, I went to that house this morning. It's a good place, a two-story courtyard, more than enough for us to live in. But..."

Wen Wan frowned, "Mother, just say what you want to say."

"That house is just across the wall from Mr. Yao's yard, and it's only a stone's throw away from the Governor's Mansion."

"Mother, this is good news. Since we're close to the Governor's Office, the security must be very good. We, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children, don't have to worry—" Suddenly, Wen Wan pursed her lips and her voice tightened, "Governor's Office?"

Seeing Wen Wan come to her senses, Liu Yiyi sighed and said, "Yes, I heard Madam Yao secretly say that the Marquis intends to move the Governor's Office from Bingzhou to Bozhou and to work there permanently. You said... our whole family will be under the Marquis's nose every day in the future. I feel scared at the thought of it."

"Miss..." Liu Yiyi looked at Wen Wan anxiously, "You said, this uncle was living well in Bingzhou, why did he suddenly want to move to Bozhou? Could it be that the uncle discovered something——"

"Don't scare yourself. I'll talk to my adoptive father about this matter first." Wen Wan's heart sank. "Can we still move back?"

Liu Yiyi shook her head. "We've already moved most of our stuff. If we move it back, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the Yao family."

Wen Wan made the final decision, "Then live here."

"But uncle-in-law——"

Wen Wan squinted her eyes and said, "What son-in-law? My Wen family's son-in-law fell off a cliff and died a long time ago. He even had a cenotaph built for him. Where did this son-in-law come from?"

Hearing Wen Wan's tone, Liu Yiyi understood.

From now on, the Wen family and the son-in-law will go their separate ways.

Since they moved to a new yard, a new home meal was inevitable. Mother Chen was busy in the kitchen, Liu Yiyi and Hongmei were taking care of the children. Taking advantage of this break, Wen Wan hesitated whether to take a walk around to familiarize herself with the environment, but she was afraid of meeting Wei Zheng like last time.

She laughed at herself, now she was the mouse hiding from the cat.

However, once the matter of her adoptive father is settled, she will be able to return to Ping County in ten days or half a month at most, and Wen Wan will feel a little calmer.

By chance, she ran into Wen Jing who had just returned from buying candied haws. The little girl had her mouth full of syrup and her clothes were covered in mud. When she saw Wen Wan, she sneaked away. Wen Wan said with a sullen smile, "Where did you go?"

She pulled Wen Jing out from behind the tree and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

She also thought about how she and Aunt Liu had been busy during this period and had no time to discipline Wen Jing. This girl had become more and more crazy and unrecognizable.

Wen Jing's eyes wandered, "I fell down while buying candied haws."

"The way you fell... doesn't make sense... Why are your chest and back covered in mud?" Wen Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Did you... get into a fight with someone?"

Wen Jing said with a stern face, "Of course not. I'm not the type to fight with others. Mom said that girls should be quiet and gentle."

Wenwan pretended to walk out.

Wen Jing hugged her waist, looking nervous, "Where are you going, sister?"

Wen Wan gave a devilish smile, "I'm going out to buy some candied haws. Do you want to go?"

"Oh..." Wen Jing hesitated and put her hand away, "Then go quickly and come back soon."

"Let's go together. I don't know where the place that sells candied haws is." Wen Wan grabbed Wen Jing by the back of her neck, forcing her to walk backwards. Then she heard her elder sister's puzzled voice above her head, "Have you grown stronger again?"

"I didn't, sister, don't talk nonsense..." Don't think she didn't see the pile of wooden sticks in Wen Jing's room! Those were the weapons Zhao Heng left for her, which she had kept carefully.

This girl...is she going to be a female general in the future?
"Let's go, lead the way, and go find the candied haws."

Wen Jing walked ahead with a bitter face, and took Wen Wan around the house. The house chosen by her adoptive father was indeed a good one. It was only a hundred meters away from the Governor's Office. The Governor's Office was always guarded by soldiers, so public security was not a problem.

Just two steps to the east is the market, convenient for buying groceries. To the west is the market, also convenient for buying rouge and powder.

The courtyards near the Governor's Court were all exquisitely designed, with no ordinary people coming and going. Most of the people who lived there were either wealthy or noble. Of course, there was a large area of ​​houses in the south city, where officials of a certain rank lived.

Wen Wan looked at the courtyards with green walls and red tiles, and was not sure which one belonged to Wei Zheng. She decided to avoid them from now on.

"elder sister!"

The two sisters were about to go home when Wen Wan's attention was suddenly attracted by a timid female voice.

Wen Wan turned her head and saw a girl with a long, thin face and delicate features waving at her from a sedan chair. A round, fluffy head was also poking out from beside her. Wen Wan couldn't remember either of them. When the sedan chair landed, the young lady lifted the curtain and came out. She walked straight to Wen Wan and bowed slightly, "Sister, we meet again."

"You are……"

The young lady had fair skin and bright eyes, and was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She smiled gently and shyly, like a silly and sweet girl in a domineering boss novel.

"Last night...Tianxiang Tower...Sister stood up for Miss Qiao'er." The silly white sweet girl took another step closer, her eyes flickering, a hint of shyness. "Sister, you can debate with so many scholars. I really admire you."

Oh, it turned out to be the young lady wearing a veil who was standing on the second floor at that time.

Wen Wan quickly returned the greeting, "To be honest, I'm not standing up for Miss Qiao'er, it's just that An Baonian cursed me behind my back, and I was just politely retorting."

"He scolded you?"

"He said I, a woman, was out in public all day, flirting with so many men in Ping County under the guise of selling alcohol... This concerns my reputation, so naturally I have to embarrass him."

The young lady exclaimed, "Huh?" and looked at Wen Wan again. "Are you the Wen Wan from the Pingxian Winery that the scholar mentioned?"

"Exactly."

"Some time ago... the Wen family raped a decent woman..."

Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "This man is my father. I came to Bozhou to save my father."

Wen Wan thought that the young lady knew her identity and that the daughter of an official family would disdain to associate with her. She was about to leave, but she never expected that the young lady to grab Wen Wan's hand and said, "Sister, you are so amazing——"

what?
Is that so amazing?
What's so great about it?

Are all naive rich girls so easy to fool?

Why do I suddenly want to cheat her out of her money?

"I know the Wen family! I once drank your fruit wine at a wine-making party. It was sweet... and not intoxicating." Then, the young woman ordered her servant to produce a gold-wrapped invitation. "My grandmother's birthday is in three days. My mother gave me some invitations. My sister will come, too."

what?
What does the hesitant admiration in the eyes of a naive person mean?
"I admired your stunning demeanor that day at Tianxiang Tower. I couldn't stand the way that scholar looked down on women... but I'm not very articulate... Fortunately, you spoke up in time to help, and only then did you humiliate the scholar! If you don't mind me, come and play with me often!"
