Wanjin Lady

Chapter 308 Getting Beaten
"Take advantage of his illness to kill him?" The young lady's eyes were cold, and her tone was unrecognizable as either praise or ridicule. The smile at the corner of her eyes was even more chilling. "Manager Zhu, you should be more kind. Besides, I came to Bozhou only to save my father. After he is acquitted, I will take him back to Ping County."

"Oh right. I'd like to advise Shopkeeper Zhu not to wade too deeply into the muddy waters of Bozhou. Be careful not to drown."

Zhu Wang was stunned, his small eyes showing confusion, unwillingness and grievance.

Why can't you kill him while he's sick?
That Yuan Qi is so heartless, he stole the recipe, framed someone, and even dared to kidnap him, Old Zhu! Now is the time to beat the fallen dog and vent his anger!
However, when he thought about the fact that the Cheng family still had Cheng Yunzhang to support them, and that he was about to take part in the Spring Examination, if he beat her too hard, he was afraid that the future Jinshi would take revenge.

Zhu Wang thought about it over and over again and finally made a decision.

The Yakshas have retreated, why is he rushing forward?
Is he smarter than a yaksha? Is he more vicious than a yaksha? Is he more insidious than a yaksha?
Do not!
At this time, it is imperative to retreat while the going is good!
"Niece, I understand what you mean. Brother Wen should be released soon, right? Okay, I'll go back and pack my luggage now. As soon as he comes out, we'll leave this dangerous place immediately!"

Wen Wan watched Zhu Wang disappear from her sight with his big, round, fat butt twisted.

Wen Wan turned around and saw Hongmei looking at her hesitantly with tears in her eyes. The little girl's eyes were red and trembling. "Miss, it was Yuanqi who killed Lu Ping... right?"

Wen Wan was stunned.

The master and servant looked at each other in silence.

Only Hongmei shed tears.

She licked her dry lips and suddenly felt the tip of her nose getting sour and dry. She remained silent and reached out to touch Hongmei's head, as if to comfort her, and as if she could see the little girl lying underground through her.

The night wind blew gently, the car curtains moved slightly, the moon rose outside the window at dusk, and the wind made the locust tree at the door rustle, like the low moan of the dead.

In a trance, she saw that day again, Lu Ping put on her smoky-colored wide-sleeved jacket, and waved to her with a smile before leaving.

The little girl's voice was sweet, with a hint of coquettishness and pampering, and her feet moved happily, as if she was running towards a bright future.

She said: Miss, remember to give me mung bean cake.

She said: Miss, am I the most caring girl in the family?
You tell me.

You tell me.

Wenwan patted Hongmei's shoulder with her hand, exhaled softly, and suppressed her trembling voice, "Everything... is over."

When Wen Wan returned home, she saw Wen Jing in the yard.

Liu Yiyi had already packed up her rarely used luggage, and the whole yard was in a mess. When Wen Jing saw her, she rushed into Wen Wan's arms like a cannonball, crying pitifully: "Sister! Sister! I miss you so much!"

Liu Yiyi pulled Wen Jing away and threatened her fiercely: "Don't think that your sister will forgive you just because you call her sister twice! How many times has mother told you not to run around outside all day? This time, your sister is really tired. If I don't beat you, she will beat you!"

Liu Yiyi hated it.

Earlier, when the child ran back by himself, her motherly love burst out and she couldn't bear to hit the child. Instead, she hugged the child in her arms and comforted him for a while. When she realized that the child needed to be hit, she could no longer find a reason.

Wen Jing hugged Wen Wan's waist tightly and rubbed her face against hers, "Sister, don't hit me! I know I was wrong, I won't run around anymore!"

Liu Yiyi winked at Wen Wan, suggesting she find a reason to beat Wen Jing up a couple of times. However, Wen Wan seemed not to notice. Instead, she patted Wen Jing's head lovingly, "It's okay. When we get back to Ping County, you can go wherever you want. But you have to behave yourself these few days and don't cause any trouble, okay?"

Wen Jing's eyes rolled around, full of confusion.

Why isn't her older sister going to beat her? She finally managed to get past her mother, so if her older sister isn't going to beat her, then why is she even pretending to cry?

Wen Jing wiped away her empty tears and asked in confusion, "Sister, you really won't beat me?"

If you don’t want to beat me... then I’ll leave... okay?

Wen Jing trotted into the house, shouting, "Then I'll go take care of my two nephews!"

Liu Yiyi looked at the cheerful Wen Jing and felt a surge of anger!

I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let this little girl go! If you don't punish a child, how can he learn his lesson?
Look at how quickly his face changes!

Liu Yiyi always felt her palms itching, and finally asked Wen Wan unwillingly: "Miss, are we going back to Bozhou?"

"Yes. In a few days, Dad will be acquitted. As soon as he is released from prison, we will go back to Ping County immediately."

Hongmei held Wenwan's hand tightly.

A murder has occurred in Bozhou, they have to leave as soon as possible!

Liu Yiyi finally came out of the house and saw Wen Wan looking exhausted. She exclaimed, "Miss, your hair...how come your hair is wet?"

Wasn't Wen Wan going to Lanyue Pavilion to entertain the ladies in Bozhou City? Why did she come back so early?

"Hey, why did you change your clothes?"

Hongmei's voice was a little hoarse, but her expression remained calm. "The girl got drunk and fell into the water! Luckily, Miss Luo brought a change of clothes in her carriage, otherwise she would have returned soaking wet!"

Liu Yiyi was suddenly anxious and quickly grabbed Wen Wanbingqin's hand, "How could this happen? The young lady just gave birth to a child. If she fell into the water, it would be a serious disaster! Quick, quick, tell Aunt Chen to light the brazier!"

She scolded Hongmei again, "You little girl, how could you let a young lady fall into the water? Go get a few hundred yuan and call a doctor! Don't catch a cold!"

Wen Wan was supported by Liu Yiyi and entered the carriage. She took the opportunity to whisper to Hongmei, "Burn those clothes in the carriage. Don't let anyone find out."

Hongmei knew the pros and cons of this and nodded solemnly.

The Wen family was in chaos because Wen Wan fell into the water, but the Yuan family was already covered with spiritual flowers, white flags were hung high, and there was crying.

After receiving the report of the death from the government, Jia, the third wife of the Yuan family, fainted on the spot. Two groups of doctors were called in to barely revive her. At this moment, Jia's eyes were bleeding and she was surrounded by the women of the Yuan family, wiping their tears. I'm afraid that Jia may have slit her own throat out of despair.

The men of the Yuan family had already rushed to the government office to handle the matter. It was already evening when they finished the whole process of claiming the body, performing an autopsy, and signing the signature.

Mrs. Li from the second house systematically directed the servants to place out the incense burners, tablets, candles, etc., and began to set up the mourning hall. Many people had already put on white mourning clothes. Looking around, it was a bleak white.

She looked at the setting sun in the sky and felt heavy in her heart.

The third room, now there is no hope at all.

Soon, another burst of painful crying was heard from the house. Li entered the house and saw that Jia's eyes were swollen and painful from crying. Concubine Chun, who was tending to her, was stabbing people with her words. "Madam, this dead man cannot be resurrected. Even if you cry your eyes blind, it will be useless. Wulang is just like my Liulang, both of them are unlucky. Who made us have such a miserable life? From now on... let's live a good life together."
