Wanjin Lady

Chapter 316 Miss Xu
"Madam He?" Wei Zheng's handsome eyebrows furrowed. "I remember...her mother-in-law, Old Madam Mo, was a powerful figure."

Even Wei Zheng said it was amazing, so Wen Wan was curious, "How amazing is it?"

Wei Zheng thought for a moment, "He started from scratch and is now a millionaire. I don't know how much wealth he possesses. If he were placed in front of the enemy, he could even withstand an army of 100,000."

Wei Zheng saw that the man was silent for a long time. He looked up and saw that the man tilted his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes were as red as a little rabbit. "You..."

"I have a fortune... I don't know how much it is..."

"When will I learn to appreciate wealth?"

Wei Zheng understood her muttering and smiled softly, "With Junior Sister Wen's methods, these are all things that will happen sooner or later."

Wen Wan said, "So, sacrificing an accountant's life in exchange for this information, Lord Marquis should think it's worth it, right?"

Wei Zheng remained noncommittal: "Junior Sister Wen is afraid that the matter will be exposed and bring trouble upon herself, right?"

Wei Zheng knocked on the table, his beautiful eyes looking even deeper in the sunlight. He looked Wen Wan up and down, and it was always difficult to connect this seemingly weak woman with the evil ghost who had the power of life and death that day.

Ok.

He read that right.

This young lady has a bit of blood in her bones.

There is also a spirit of not giving up.

"Just for a slave?"

Wen Wan pursed her lips and her expression froze.

Wei Zheng investigated her!

The young lady's voice was soft but deafening.

"She is not a slave. She is my friend, my sister, the flower I nurture with care."

"She's mine."

"She was only fifteen. Now she can only lie in the cold, dark earth."

There was a hint of murderous intent in that voice.

"If I don't kill him, my mind will be unstable and I won't be able to rest day or night."

After saying that, the young lady looked up.

Her pupils were not pure black, but instead had a brownish-brown luster.

Like a magnet, it unconsciously draws people into its depths.

"The Marquis seems to have been investigating me behind my back." The young lady raised her head slightly, her jaw like a noble swan, a sneer on her face, "I wonder if the Marquis has ever heard a saying..."

Wei Zheng looked at her with interest, "Is there always trouble around a widow?"

"Oh, another sentence." Wen Wan crossed her arms, her eyes full of a mischievous smile, "Curiosity is the beginning of a man's interest in a woman."

The smile on Wei Zheng's face suddenly froze.

The wind blows silently.

After a long moment, Wei Zheng's voice grew hoarse. "Junior Sister Wen, you're worrying too much. I'm not interested in...widows."

"What a coincidence." Wen Wan spread her hands. "I have absolutely no such intention towards you, Lord. So please don't pay too much attention to my affairs, to avoid misunderstandings. Also, I may have to go back to Ping County soon."

Her gentle gaze lingered on his face for a moment.

Just like the morning when I sent him away.

Wen Wan deliberately ignored the lingering pain in her heart.

"No matter what, I will never forget your kindness, Lord."

Wen Wan turned and was about to leave, but she saw the hesitant figure in the courtyard. She paused for an inexplicable moment and pointed at the young lady outside the door and asked, "By the way, this young lady seems to have been waiting for you for a long time. Is the Marquis really so heartless as to turn her away?"

Wei Zheng sat there, looking down at him. "Junior Sister Wen, haven't you heard this before?"

Wen Wan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second: "Curiosity is the beginning of a woman's interest in a man."

Wen Wan: ...

Look, look, you are so mean that you have to ask this question, right?

Are you embarrassed?

Are you comfortable?

Have you given up?

Seeing Wen Wan's face turn from blue to white and she left angrily with her sleeves swung, Wei Zheng's face showed a strange smile that was almost imperceptible.

Then his eyes fell on the city defense map and the list, and his eyes darkened.

Wen Wan walked out of Wei Zheng's room, and the young lady immediately came up to her, "Madam...you are the Marquis's junior sister, Miss Wen, right?"

Wen Wan quickly returned the greeting, "You are..."

The young lady smiled shyly. "I'm Xu Jingqing, the daughter of the Bingzhou governor. Last year, Bingzhou was attacked by pirates, but fortunately, the marquis saved us. I happened to be visiting relatives in Bozhou with my mother, so I wanted to come and pay my respects to my benefactor."

Yo.

A hero saves a beauty?

Wen Wan felt sour in her heart, it was so cliché.

If this storyline were published on Qidian.com, it would be criticized as tacky.

How can it be as exciting as a beautiful woman like her who pays a huge sum of money to have a child, or a flirtatious widow who gets entangled with her ex-husband in ten thousand ways?

Wen Wan didn't ask, "Since you are here to meet your benefactor, why don't you come into the house?" She thought that the young lady was not very old and it would be inappropriate for her to expose her modesty.

Then she realized that her mind was twisted.

She and Wei Zheng will go their separate ways, no matter what choice she makes, but Wei Zheng is destined to marry, have children, and rise to prominence.

She's being so sarcastic and upset here, doesn't that make her seem petty?
Besides, everyone knows Miss Xu's intentions towards her opponent. She even goes so far as to try to please a merchant girl like her for Wei Zheng. She has no right to be aggressive.

Wen Wan exhaled and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Miss Xu?"

"Nothing." As she spoke, Wen Wan had a food box in her hands. She looked up and saw Miss Xu smiling warmly. "Miss Wen, you look two or three years older than me, so I'll call you Sister Wen. I'm new here, so there are many inconveniences. Sister Wen is familiar with Bozhou. If you don't mind, please take me with you more often in the future."

Wen Wan smiled, "Oh, what a coincidence. I'll be leaving Bozhou soon. I came to Bozhou on business, and it just so happens that I've finished my work today and have to go back home. But I understand Miss Xu's kindness. If you come to Ping County, feel free to come visit me."

Ping County?

What kind of godforsaken place is that?

When Miss Xu saw Wen Wan was about to leave, she stopped pestering her and said politely, "That's really unfortunate. If I ever have the chance to go to Ping County, I will definitely visit Sister Wen!"

Wen Wan disappeared at the end carrying the food box.

Well, Wei Zheng doesn’t eat it, but she does!
Don't waste Miss Xu's kindness.

Anyway, what happens between Wei Zheng and her in the future has nothing to do with her.

Mr. Tu came forward and saw that Wen Wan had something in her hand. "This is..."

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Someone gave it to me as a gift. It's for my father's lunch."

Recalling something else, Wen Wan walked to a secluded spot. Seeing that no one was around, she whispered to Master Tu, "Have you found any clues to the matter I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?"

"Yes." Master Tu was naturally reliable. "Then An Bao has failed the imperial examination for a long time. I guess he wants to use his status as a juren to seek an official position, so he relies on the Dou Changshi family."

"This Chief Secretary is a military officer. Why would a scholar like An Baonian seek refuge with him?"

"The Chief Secretary is a military officer, but his wife's family and the capital are not simple."

Wen Wan sneered, "An Baonian is really omnipresent. Now that we're here, we can't return empty-handed. By the way, I remember there's a girl in the Changshi family?"

"Yes. I have a youngest daughter, about thirteen or fourteen, who is currently seeking marriage."

"That's good. Now you follow An Bao Nian every day. When you have nothing to do, you can practice your skills on him."

Mr. Tu was stunned.
