Wanjin Lady

Chapter 255 Ending
At this moment, Cheng Yunzhang suddenly wanted to get close to Wen Wan.

She had no expression on her face, but Cheng Yunzhang could hear the slight tremor in her voice.

Junior Sister Fox... must be feeling very uncomfortable too.

He wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms, not for any romantic reasons, but simply to pat her frail shoulders. He just wanted to tell her that he was behind her.

If there are clouds ahead, he has a song.

If it rains ahead, he has an umbrella.

If there is nothing in front, he has a pot of wine.

She is not Widow Wang, and he will not be like He San!
"What a pitiful person!" Xiong Daiping waved his hand, signaling for the person to be dragged away. "Since Widow Wang is dead, her debt is settled and we will not pursue her guilt. As for Miss Wen... you said Widow Wang was instructed by someone... do you have any evidence?"

Wen Wan pursed her lips and then shook her head.

"This commoner woman really has no clue. But it's a foregone conclusion that Widow Wang framed my father." Wen Wan pointed at another dark-faced man and said, "Sir, this is Shi Tou, the thug from Baihua Tower."

"As everyone knows, Baihua Tower has two buildings, the front one for banquets and receptions, and the back one for singing girls and prostitutes. Although there's a connection between the two buildings, it's guarded. This stone was the person on duty that night."

Shitou had never seen such a scene before. He dropped to his knees and told the whole story. "Your Majesty, that night, Widow Wang came running from the front yard... saying she was going to the backyard to look for a girl. She even slipped twenty copper coins into my pocket, so I pretended to go to the bathroom nearby... and she took the opportunity to sneak into the backyard. I didn't know she was going to cause trouble for Wen Weiming! If I had known, I would never have let her in!"

Wen Wan asked sternly, "Let me ask you, when you left your post and let Widow Wang go that night, did you see what she was carrying in her backpack?"

The dark-faced man thought for a moment, his expression firm, "It's fish! Stinky fish! A basket full of them! No one in the front yard wants them! When she passed by... I smelled the fishy odor on her!"

Xiong Daiping immediately asked, "Widow Wang came into Baixianglou under the pretense of selling fish, but why did she bring a basket of rotten and smelly fish?"

Cheng Yunzhang interjected, "Sir, I have deduced that Widow Wang deliberately wanted to get close to Uncle Wen. She carried the basket of fish to the front yard, but the kitchen refused to take it, leading to a public argument. Uncle Wen, being a kindhearted man, spoke up for her, and Widow Wang was hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a connection with Uncle Wen."

Xiong Daiping understood what was going on. "But she didn't expect... Wen Weiming remained unmoved. Widow Wang had no choice but to resort to this last resort and decided to block him in the backyard."

"That's right!" Wen Wan didn't forget to flatter him at this time, "Master Xiong is really the smartest master I have ever seen!"

Xiong Daiping's mouth twisted a little at her sudden flattery. He chuckled, "You're not as smart as Miss Wen. You've been able to collect so much evidence in just a few days."

Xiong Daiping's tone was indistinguishable from his emotions. "If Miss Wen were a man, I'm afraid torture and forced confession, as well as criminal investigations, would be a piece of cake."

"Sir! I have no other choice to save my father!" Wen Wan knelt on the bluestone slab, her expression solemn and her eyes red. "I beg you, sir, to uphold justice for me! Give the people of Bozhou a clear sky!"

Xiong Daiping exhaled heavily, and then his eyes, like sharp blades, stared at the young lady's head in the hall.

"But... since you said that everything started with your Rui Fruit Pulp, then who is the mastermind behind this?"

Xiong Daiping had a hunch that this young lady must have some clues!

He dared to break the law in Bozhou and use the Criminal Justice Department as a weapon to rob people. What a courageous person!
Wen Wan sighed softly, a look of regret on her face, "This matter...I'm afraid only the deceased Widow Wang knows."

Now that things have come to this, the truth is clear. Xiong Daiping made the final decision, "Within three days, I will organize the evidence and documents for this case and request the Ministry of Justice to overturn your father's case. You can go home now, and you will receive a response within a month."

Wen Wan's eyes lit up and she bowed quickly: "Thank you, sir!"

Xiong Daiping stood up and gave her a meaningful look. "You should thank Lord Yan, and even more so, you should thank Governor Wei."

After Xiong Daiping left, Cheng Yunzhang saw her turn around and take two quick steps to the front of the crowd, then bowed and saluted, "Thank you all for bearing witness today!"

The crowd burst into warm applause and congratulated her.

Several witnesses also came to say goodbye. Na Qiaoniang was unwilling to let Cheng Yunzhang go. Before leaving, she pinched her waist affectionately and looked at Cheng Yunzhang with a half-smile, "Madam, is that really not your husband?"

"No." Wen Wan smiled and shook her head, "It's really not. Don't tarnish my brother's innocence."

"But he... clearly... likes you."

Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then pointed at her head, her face darkening slightly. "My husband died last year, and I gave birth to a child two months ago. Sister Qiao Niang, there are always rumors about widows, so don't say such things again."

"I know!" Qiao Niang smiled softly, flinging the handkerchief charmingly on her face, her voice soft and crisp, "Come to the dock to play with me next time."

"Of course, of course. Thank you so much, Sister Qiao Niang." Wen Wan thanked several witnesses again. After the show was over, Cheng Yunzhang looked at Qiao Niang's graceful figure walking away, frowned slightly, and glanced at the back of the young lady in front of him.

"Junior Sister Wen..."

"Hmm?" Wen Wan turned around and could see that Junior Sister Fox was in a good mood. There was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. The sunlight was just right, making her pupils a rare brown color.

Cheng Yunzhang choked back his words and just bowed, "Congratulations, Junior Sister."

The two of them walked out of the government office gate one after the other. At that moment, Wen Wan felt that the sunshine had never been so warm.

She raised her head, the sunlight poured in, making her face as white as jade.

Liu Yiyi and others saw the crowd in front of the government office dispersing from afar, and guessed that today's investigation had come to a conclusion. They hurried over and saw Wen Wan's expression, and knew that today's matter was settled!

Liu Yiyi burst into tears on the spot. Wen Wan squeezed her hand and said, "Mother, let's talk about it when we get home."

"Come on, come on, your adoptive father is already waiting for you at home. Let's heat up a pot of good wine and have some fun!"

"Mother, come right up!"

Surrounded by a crowd, Cheng Yunzhang saw Wen Wan calling over Mr. Tu and handing him an envelope. The two whispered a few words, and soon Mr. Tu disappeared into the crowd.

Wen Wan raised her arms and shouted, her face full of joy, "Let's go! We won't be home until we're drunk tonight!"

After leaving Wen Wan, Mr. Tu followed the address Wen Wan gave him and started searching from the nearest teahouse. Sure enough, he found Yuan Qi on the second floor of the teahouse in front of the government office.

Although Wen Wan didn't say it explicitly, but once he saw Yuan Qi, what was there for Mr. Tu to not understand?
Yuan Qi is behind all of this today!
