Wanjin Lady

Chapter 264: Fighting against human power
The young lady smiled coldly again, "Master Wei is right behind you. We will expose your lies right in front of Master Wei!"

what?
No, why didn’t you say so earlier?
Why didn't you tell me earlier what I was bragging about?
Why did you tell me earlier that I was using Wei Zheng's skin as an excuse?
Sure enough, the next moment, Wei Zheng's deep, pleasant voice came from the back of his head, "The Wen Family Winery's Ruiguo syrup... I, as your senior brother, haven't tasted it yet, so I'm afraid I can't satisfy you ladies."

Wen Wan's scalp tingled.

She suddenly felt that she could no longer bear to hear sensitive words like "senior brothers and sisters" and "uncle". Turning her head, she saw Wei Zheng's cold and noble face.

This face... no matter when she looks at it... Wen Wan is obsessed with it.

Peach blossom eyes, long eyelashes, thin red lips, smooth facial contours, and versatile abdominal muscles that she can play with at will and use as a pillow to sleep.

However, Wei Zheng’s eyes used to be like those of a puppy, as clear as a silly roe deer. He would circle around her every day and would always turn over his belly in front of her to ask for a pat.

Now Wei Zheng's eyes were filled with a domineering smile that was three parts cold, three parts sarcastic, and four parts indifferent.

The group of girls behind Wen Wan all greeted him and asked him questions. Wen Wan heard someone mutter in surprise, "Senior Brother?!"

Is this Wen Wan Wei Zheng’s junior sister?
What the hell is this relationship?

"Junior Sister Wen, long time no see." Wei Zheng looked at her with a smile, trying to find a trace of panic or embarrassment on the young lady's face, but there was none... absolutely none... The young lady looked very open and honest. "Oh, Lord Marquis... We just met yesterday."

Madam Xiong, however, asked curiously, "Master Wei, how come this Shopkeeper Wen is your junior sister? Didn't she just arrive in Bozhou?"

Seeing everyone looking over curiously, Wei Zheng glanced at Wen Wan and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Wen is the adopted daughter of my teacher in Ping County. Naturally, she is the junior sister of Yunzhang and me."

Wei Zheng's teacher...

Mrs. Xiong and Mrs. Sun's eyelids twitched.

Madam Sun was secretly annoyed that she was not well-informed. Just because Wen Wan was a merchant's daughter, she naturally arranged her seat at the very back. Now look what happened. Isn't this a slap in Wei Zheng's face?
But if I move to another place at the last minute, wouldn't that offend people even more?
Yes.

No wonder it was so easy for Wen Wan, a woman of her generation, to find out the truth. Didn’t you see that Mrs. Xiong had been talking to Wen Wan since early in the morning?

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xiong, her brows slightly furrowed, and she thought to herself that Mrs. Xiong was a disloyal person. She didn't even inform her about such a big thing, and just kept trying to curry favor with Wen Wan.

Wen Wan understood from Wei Zheng's words that he was trying to support her. Seeing that the girls who had just caused trouble were as honest as quails, Wen Wan did not intend to make things difficult for them. After all, Xinzi was thirty years old and had no interest in competing with a bunch of naughty kids.

Wen Wan smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to my adoptive father and two senior brothers for their care, my trip to Bozhou went so smoothly. It also gave me the opportunity to meet a friend like Miss Sun and..."

Wen Wan's gaze fell on the group of trembling quails in front of her, and a devilish smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "And Miss Xu, Miss Zhao, Miss Liu, and Miss Zhang."

I have to say, it feels so damn good to bully others by taking advantage of your power.

Power is a good thing at all times and in all places.

One day, she will have these good things too.

Sure enough, the leading quail shrank its shoulders and lost all its arrogance.

Madam Sun quickly gestured to Sun Lanzhi, then smiled and beckoned to Wen Wan, "Oh, Madam Wen, please sit down. You're Lanzhi's good friend, so please squeeze in with Lanzhi. It'll be easier for you two to talk if you sit at the same table." Excellent, the seating arrangement problem was perfectly resolved.

Sun Lanzhi took her hand and took a seat nearby. Wen Wan's seat suddenly moved from the end to the front. Sun Lanzhi looked ashamed, "Sister Wen, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Those girls... the leader has some grudges against Madam Xiong... Madam Xiong likes you, so naturally she can't stand it."

"Over?" Wen Wan joked with a smile, "Could it be that she failed in her wish to become Madam Xiong's daughter-in-law?"

"Sister Wen, this concerns a woman's reputation. It's not easy to say this!" Sun Lanzhi's face changed slightly, but she coughed softly, "This matter...is not allowed to be discussed."

Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

Sun Lanzhi smiled awkwardly, "It's not good to talk about others behind their backs. But it's true that Miss Xu is angry with you. Just sit here and don't go near them later. They won't come to disturb us."

Wen Wan smiled and patted her hands. "It's okay. I never take these things to heart. Besides, I'm relying on the power of others now, so they are the ones I should be afraid of."

Sun Lanzhi laughed, "Who would use the words 'a dog relying on the power of others' to describe themselves?"

However, the quails just looked at each other, obviously undecided.

Someone angrily asked, "How could she be Master Wei's junior sister?"

"How could Lord Wei have a junior sister who is a merchant girl?"

Someone was very realistic, "But we offended her before. Will she...retaliate against us? Should we go and apologize to her?"

"How have we offended her? Isn't it true that her father raped a decent woman? Isn't it true that she's a prostitute? What did we say wrong? The censors of the Great Chen Dynasty don't care about being punished for speaking out. We're just telling the truth, so why should we be afraid of her?" The leader stiffened his neck, refusing to lose his composure. "Oh, she's just relying on the power of others. I won't bow down to a merchant's daughter!"

The fake sisters immediately broke up. "If you don't go, I will. It doesn't matter if I offend Miss Wen, but don't forget that Lord Wei killed everyone in Bingzhou City, killing nearly one-fifth of the officials. He is a great killer! I don't want to bring trouble to my family."

The man's face showed a trace of fear and hesitation, but he was unwilling to give in and finally prevailed. "If you want to go, go ahead, you spineless softies!"

The Plastic Sisters immediately became unhappy, thinking that it was us who helped you out, and now you are still blaming us. They immediately said, "Miss Xu is stubborn. We are not as noble as you. After all, when we go out, we still have to consider our parents."

Wen Wan and Sun Lanzhi were talking when she caught a glimpse of a few little girls pushing and shoving each other in the corner. She pursed her lips and smiled.

No matter who gave her the power, the feeling of relying on others for power is... not bad.

Of course, it would be better if this power was your own.

Wen Wan saw the three girls coming over hesitantly, and raised her wine glass in advance. As soon as the leader came closer, before she could say anything, Wen Wan slid her finger inside and cried out, "Ouch!"

A glass of wine spilled all over Wenwan's dress.

In an instant, everyone around looked over, as if they were out to find someone to blame.

As soon as the argument broke out, Wen Wan was splashed with wine.

"Sister Wen... I didn't mean to do that!" The leading girl was completely panicked. Looking at the accusing eyes around her, she hurriedly explained, "I really didn't mean to do that! I wasn't even near her!"
