Wanjin Lady

Chapter 263 Seriously Flattering

The young woman smiled smugly. "So, you're blaming Lord Yan, the judge, for not exercising impartiality? How dare you slander Lord Yan!"

Wenwan understood clearly.

Oh, it turned out that she was waiting for her here.

Hongmei, who was standing by, was so angry that her face turned red. She wished she could put this delicate but vicious young lady in front of her into a sack and beat her up.

If only Lu Ping were here!

The girl Lu Ping is like a gentle knife. Each cut of her sword does not draw blood but can still cut the throat.

The girls seemed to have found their backbone, chattering away. "You're just slapping Lord Yan in the face! You blame Lord Yan for not enforcing the law as impartially as Lord Xiong. So, are you coming to the banquet today to seek justice?"

Anyone who says this is despicable.

With just a few words, he sowed discord between Xiong Daiping and Yan Shouli.

Wen Wan waited patiently for them to finish, and only after seeing that many people had noticed the commotion here did she slowly reply, "Ladies, this is incorrect. I believe that no matter whose case it is, Lord Yan always follows the law and the facts, and renders accurate and fair judgments based on evidence and the law. The reason for the re-examination is that I have discovered new evidence and testimony that is sufficient to overturn the previous verdict. That's why Lord Xiong agreed to take my case."

The young lady's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Her eyes were clear and her words were neither humble nor arrogant, which made the huge courtyard quiet in an instant, and only her voice could be heard.

"When I was in class, Lord Xiong repeatedly stated that Lord Yan supported me in using the weapons of Dachen law to defend my rights, saying that as long as it was legal and reasonable, I didn't need to care about rumors. I have Lord Yan and Lord Xiong's support behind me."

Wen Wan smiled coldly, "The ladies say that overturning the case is an insult to Lord Yan. I categorically disagree! Lord Yan and Lord Xiong are both noble and magnanimous, seeking only to prevent unjust, wrong, or false cases. Otherwise, how could they have spared no effort to help overturn my case during such a high-pressure period, with the Governor-General just arriving in Bozhou City? Who in the world has such a broad mind and generosity? Therefore, I believe that no matter what the final outcome for my father is, the two Lords have a clear conscience."

These words not only silenced the girls who had been making things difficult for her, but also silenced everyone present.

Wen Wan blinked. What happened?
Is the flattery too obvious?
Such flattery doesn’t deserve a round of deafening applause?

"Let the law be the criterion and the facts be the basis." Finally, someone came to support the meme. It was a young man with elegant manners. Even with a big belly, it didn't affect Wen Wan's feeling that he was handsome and imposing. "Well said, Shopkeeper Wen!"

The young man clapped his hands, and someone else took the lead, and there was immediately a thunderous applause.

Lord Yan had been accompanying Wei Zheng at the waterside pavilion. Upon hearing the young lady's words, he immediately embraced Xiong Daiping like a brother and asked, "Lord Xiong, did you really say that to Shopkeeper Wen?"

He was of noble character and broad-minded, only wishing for a world free of wrongful convictions, miscarriages of justice, and false accusations. Well, he was slightly annoyed earlier, feeling that Wen Wan was being unreasonable by insisting on intervening at this crucial moment to overturn his father's case. However, hearing these words now made him feel completely at ease, and his mood improved.

Mr. Bear: Hmm? Did I say that?

These words are too flattering, don't they seem like something he would say?

But Yan Shouli smiled broadly and hugged him, his attitude more cordial than ever before. "Oh, I used to think you were a simpleton, but I never thought... you'd be my soulmate. Brother Ziqi, we've had many disagreements in the past, but that was all because we each had our own responsibilities. From now on, we must join hands and restore justice to the people of Bozhou."

Shameless Xiong Daiping's face flushed red, and he nodded blankly, "Ah, yes, yes, that's what I told her."

Wei Zheng, who was standing on the side, looked at Wen Wan in the crowd not far away. Upon hearing what she said, a faint smile appeared on his face.

I've seen people who flatter, but I've never seen anyone who flatters so well.

The faces of the young ladies changed unpredictably, and finally became very ugly. However, the little green tea with the highest rank said with a smile: "Who says it is not true? Master Yan and Master Xiong are both the justices of the people of Bozhou!"

"Then I hope that Shopkeeper Wen's father's case can be concluded as soon as possible." The green tea girl took Wen Wan's hand. "By the way, my mother took me to the Spring Winemaking Festival. I tasted the Wen family's new wine, Ruiguoxian, and it was sour and sweet, very refreshing, and left a lasting aftertaste. Since Shopkeeper Wen is out on business, I have some ready-made wine here. I'll have my maid come and ask you for two pots tomorrow."

Wen Wan sneered in her heart, they are all smart people who have been around for thousands of years, why are they pretending to be cowards and bastards?

Isn't it just belittling her status as a merchant girl?
Wen Wan immediately raised her voice, "Oh, you're late. My family's Ruiguo pulp... we just started brewing it this year, and the quantity is not guaranteed. I estimate that only a small amount of Ruiguo pulp will be available on the market. Now someone has placed an order, so I have to hurry up and place the order first. If you don't mind, I will send it to your house next year for you to taste."

The girl immediately refused to listen, speaking in a condescending tone, "They're just orders from small wine merchants. Shopkeeper Wen can just turn them down. Just tell them that it's the Xu family of Bozhou who wants your wine. I guarantee they won't dare to cause trouble. Besides, my Xu family bought your wine, so even more people know about your Ruiguo syrup. Are you still worried about not being able to sell it next year?"

Damn, aren’t you Xu family members the noble Tianlong people?
I act like I'm thinking highly of you by stealing your wine.

Okay, then I will bring out another Tianlong person and let you Tianlong people fight among yourselves.

"Ah?" Wen Wan pouted, looking embarrassed. "But the Marquis of Huai'an said that this Ruiguo syrup has a mellow taste and a long aftertaste, and it's even better than many of the wines he's tasted in Kyoto. He also ordered me to send him a sample of the new wine as soon as it's released this year. It's really hard to disobey Lord Wei's order... How about... you discuss it with him?"

I thought that bringing up Tianlong man Wei Zheng would definitely make this little girl a little wary, but she didn't pretend to be a little green tea anymore. She sneered and said with disdain, "Lord Wei, the Marquis of Huai'an, has tasted all kinds of fine wines. How could he think highly of the wine produced by your small workshop?"

The girl who Wen Wan had previously said had "vegetable leaves on my teeth" came back after tidying herself up and angrily said to Wen Wan, "You lied! There are no vegetable leaves on my teeth!"

Wen Wan said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Miss. I'm old and my eyesight isn't very good!"

"You...you..." The young lady knew that Wen Wan was deliberately teasing her, and she was so angry that her teeth itched. "You, a merchant girl, are simply deceiving people on purpose! You are full of lies, saying that Lord Wei wants to buy your wine, but I don't believe it! You clearly don't want to sell it to Sister Xu!"
