Wanjin Lady

Chapter 267: Marital Infighting
In the darkness, Wei Zheng could clearly smell the faint scent of soapberry on Wen Wan.

It wasn't like there weren't girls in Kyoto who had flung themselves at him. The girls of the Chen Dynasty loved cosmetics, and their bodies always had the scent of cosmetics. But this Junior Sister Wen before him... didn't have the slightest scent of cosmetics...

The scent on her body was very faint, and it could only be smelled clearly when I got close to her.

Like the scent of soapberry.

But it is also like the green bamboo in the snow forest and the orchid in the deep valley, elegant and restrained.

Although they couldn't see clearly, the box was only this big, so the two people had to sit face to face and nose to nose, and even their knees and hands touched each other.

Wen Wan only felt the temperature inside the box rising rapidly.

Wen Wan felt uncomfortable and wanted to move a little. She tilted her head slightly, and Wei Zheng's lips brushed across her face... and her earlobe.

Like circles of soft ripples on the lake.

Like a feather brushing against your ears.

Wen Wan's scalp suddenly felt numb and her body tensed up.

The scene of Wei Zheng and I making love on the bed instantly came to my mind.

Her wrist tightened and Wei Zheng grabbed her.

The man's hand was so hot that she almost pulled back.

It wasn't so much about grabbing her as it was about holding her in place, preventing her from moving and making the situation more awkward.

After the two or three servants of the Sun family opened the door, they searched inside and out, but they didn't expect that there were two people hiding in the box in the corner.

Wen Wan heard one of them ask and answer himself: "Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

"Maybe it's not the study, maybe it's outside?"

"Go, have a look."

Soon, the servants closed the door and left the study.

Wen Wan exhaled, and with this exhalation, a strand of Wei Zheng's hair brushed across her cheek. Wen Wan's heart beat faster, and she reached out to push up the cover.

Ok?
Can’t push it again?

Wen Wan's breath got stuck in her throat.

Wei Zheng's hoarse voice came from the darkness, "I forgot to tell you, Junior Sister, this box has a buckle on the outside. Once the box is closed... it will automatically lock."

Wen Wan: ...

……

……

Wen Wan retracted her arms and hugged herself, and this time her voice sounded sincere.

Weak and helpless.

"sorry."

Although Wen Wan couldn't see Wei Zheng's expression, she knew that his expression must be not good. "Is sorry any use?"

"It helps. Apologizing makes me feel better."

Wei Zheng: “…”

Wen Wan coughed softly, "I just thought you were holding the cover to prevent me from coming out."

Wei Zheng sneered, "I'm not that naive."

Wen Wan's tone became even more flattering, "Yes, I misunderstood Senior Brother Wei."

Wei Zheng continued to sneer, "Brother Wei if you have any problems, Lord Wei if you don't. Shopkeeper Wen... really makes the best use of his resources."

Wen Wan started coughing. She felt a little uncomfortable in this position. Thinking of Wei Zheng with his long arms and legs curled up in the box, she was afraid it would be even more uncomfortable. She quietly moved a little bit to the corner to please Wei Zheng.

But it’s a drop in the bucket.

In the darkness, Wen Wan felt that the eyes of the person opposite her were glowing green.

Wen Wan was being rude, "Brother Wei, go ahead and scold me if you want. Anyway, we can't get out even if you scold me."

After a moment of silence, Wei Zheng asked her, "Why did you go to the Sun family's study?"

Wen Wan asked, "Then why did Senior Brother Wei sneak into the Sun family's study?"

Wei Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

He found that Wen Wan was a slippery person, and it was harder than climbing a mountain to get words out of her.

Wei Zheng asked herself for the third time: Why did the teacher accept someone like her as his adopted daughter?

"Are you looking for something? Junior Sister Wen, what do you need? You might as well tell me, perhaps I can help." Wen Wan thought for a moment, the city defense map... Wei Zheng must have it.

She thought for a moment, "Do you have a city defense map?"

Wei Zheng was silent. "What do you, a woman, need a city defense map for?"

After a while, a woman's low voice came from the darkness.

"Do bad things."

In the enclosed and narrow space, Wei Zheng's suppressed laughter was heard, as if 8D was surrounding her ears.

"If I continue to ask, will Junior Sister continue to answer?"

The young lady said with certainty, "Yes."

"But you can't guarantee it's the truth?"

"Correct."

"So what bad things are you going to do with the city defense map?"

Wen Wan frowned, her voice impatient, "Does Senior Brother Wei have it?"

"Have."

"lend me?"

"Decline."

"..."

"lend me?"

"you shut up."

Wen Wan kept silent for a moment, but did not give up. "Brother Wei, make a condition. Give me the city defense map, and I will help you do something."

"can."

"You said."

"Let me out now."

"..."

Wen Wan wants to curse! How come the figure is even worse than before after regaining its memory!
She said patiently, "Change it. Change it to something I can do."

Wei Zheng didn't say anything, and his rejection was very obvious.

Wen Wan had no choice but to persuade him, "Brother Wei, I can help you investigate the case. You came to Bozhou to investigate the smuggling case, right?"

Seeing that Wei Zheng did not stop her, Wen Wan moved to the space she had vacated. Now their arms were touching, and Wei Zheng could feel the young lady's smooth skin under her fingers.

Wei Zheng frowned and moved half an inch in the other direction, "Junior Sister Wen, please respect yourself."

Wen Wan was stunned and had to move back. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend Senior Brother Wei. It's just that the box is too narrow and it bumped into your hand. Sorry, sorry."

Wei Zheng just felt weird!
So weird!

No young lady had ever apologized for touching a man. Wei Zheng now felt like a good girl being bullied by a bully.

Perhaps in Junior Sister Wen’s mind, when men and women touch each other…there is no question of who takes advantage of whom?
"There's always trouble around a widow. I'll keep everything Junior Sister Wen said in mind."

Wen Wan: ???

The boomerang pierced me, it hurts so much!

"Let's get back to the city defense map. Senior Brother Wei, please consider this... You've seen my methods of investigating cases. When you investigate smuggling cases, all those pearls, rhinoceros tusks, corals, agates, and gemstones imported from overseas are destined for the backyard without exception. Starting with the ladies in the backyard... perhaps we can solve the case faster. I can help Senior Brother Wei open this loophole..."

It will take some time before my cheap dad is released, and in the meantime he's just sitting around doing nothing anyway.

They just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, but the gears of fate started to move, and they got entangled with each other by accident.

Wei Zheng, however, wasn't buying it. A cold man's voice echoed from the dark, enclosed space. "Junior Sister Wen, instead of worrying about the city defense map, you should think about what would happen if someone discovered you and I were alone in the same room."

Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat.

She actually forgot about this!
She was still thinking that she and Wei Zheng were husband and wife, but Wei Zheng's reminder gave her a start.

A widow whose husband had just died was locked in a box with the powerful people of the dynasty... Not to mention the people of the Chen Dynasty... even she herself wanted to eat some melons when she heard about it.

Sure enough, Wei Zheng's words made Wen Wan successfully shut up.

After a moment, Wen Wan said, "Don't worry, my lord. But if there are any consequences... I will bear them alone."

Wei Zheng's voice echoed from the darkness, "Junior Sister Wen is just a woman. How are you going to deal with this kind of thing?"

Wen Wan smiled, "If I really can't explain it, I'll just say that I seduced the Marquis... Anyway, I will never let the Marquis's reputation be damaged."
