Wanjin Lady

Chapter 332 Daily life
Wei Zheng said, "If you're worried about the lawsuit, there's no need to worry. Zhang Laixi is just a flea. As long as we find the person behind it, you'll be cleared of suspicion. Lei Zexin is very capable and is close to finding the key to the matter. We'll probably find out the truth in the next few days."

Wen Wan frowned, "You...are investigating me again?"

Wei Zheng covered his face and coughed lightly, "I'm just worried about Junior Sister Wen. The teacher is old and not strong enough, so as your senior brother, I naturally have to take better care of you."

Wen Wan was puzzled, "Really?"

This guy is very suspicious. Ever since she borrowed his city defense map, he always felt that there were secret sentries around him.

But now the city defense map has been returned to Wei Zheng, and he is still lingering around!
The man said in a low voice, with a smile in his eyes, "Absolutely true."

As they were talking, two bowls of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice were served. This bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice were filled with fruit. The small dumplings were rolled in glutinous rice flour and cooked together with the fermented glutinous rice. The fermented glutinous rice had a rich and sweet flavor, and the dumplings were sweeter than the glutinous filling, and were still steaming.

The boss smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, the osmanthus jam you asked about last time will be available in October. If you like the taste, please leave your address and I'll deliver it to you when it's ready!"

Wei Zheng nodded and casually took out ten taels of silver. "Take this as a deposit. The extra money is your reward."

The shopkeeper shook his head and glanced at Wen Wan with a smile, "As long as Mr. Wei can please the Madam, and you two live in harmony, this osmanthus jam will be my gift to you two."

Wen Wan: ...

Wei Zheng: ...

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, your eyesight is not good. This is my child's uncle, my dear uncle! Can you calculate what is the relationship between him and me?"

The shopkeeper blushed, said "I'm sorry" repeatedly and left in embarrassment.

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "Why did you bully that store owner?"

"I didn't bully him." Wen Wan corrected him with a smile, "Aren't you the uncle of my two children?"

Wei Zheng remained silent.

This time it was his turn to be lost in thought.

Seeing Wen Wan put down her spoon after taking a spoonful, Wei Zheng couldn't help but put down his spoon as well, "Why, it doesn't suit Junior Sister's appetite?"

Wen Wan then whispered, "It's too sweet. Not as good as the one near my home."

"Where?"

"Ping County. Just walk about a hundred meters from my home on the main street, and you'll see an elderly couple setting up a small stall. In the past, I and..." Wen Wan paused, glancing at Wei Zheng with a mysterious glance, "Every time I came back from the winery, I would go sit with them for a while."

Wei Zheng immediately grasped the key point, "You and...your late husband?"

Wen Wan said nothing, grabbed the spoon and stuffed it into her mouth again.

"It seems that Junior Sister Wen and your late husband had a very close relationship."

Wen Wan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, her gaze steady and unwavering, showing no sign of guilt. "Yes. My husband is wise, brave, handsome, and incredibly talented. He is both scholarly and martial, and he is also considerate and gentle to me. He even allowed our two children to take my surname. There is no better man in the world than him."

Wei Zheng frowned.

It sounds like... Junior Sister Wen just likes obedient men who are easy to control!
Being considerate, gentle, literary and martial, I'm afraid none of them can compare to being well-behaved.

Besides, I still don’t know how this half-brother-in-law whom I have never met died!
Wei Zheng couldn't help but wonder: I heard he died after falling off a cliff while climbing up the mountain -

Wen Wan glanced at him sideways, "My Lord, it seems like you're very interested in the story between me and my late husband?"

Wei Zheng looked at the man's smiling face and couldn't help but think of those words again.

Curiosity is the beginning of a man's interest in a woman.

Wei Zheng put down his spoon and stood up. "Let's go, I'll take Junior Sister Wen home." When the two returned to the Wen family's courtyard, it was a chaotic and noisy time.

The two children were crying loudly as if they were competing with each other, Chen Ma's kitchen was about to catch fire, the bags in the yard were torn into pieces, and Wen Jing was being chased around the yard by Liu Yiyi with a feather duster for something she had done.

Wen Wan looked at the scene and subconsciously took two steps back, hoping to escape from the disaster scene as quickly as possible. However, Liu Yiyi swung a feather duster at Wen Jing from behind, and it hit the ground with a "clang". The feather duster was broken into two pieces, and a few chicken feathers floated down on Wen Wan's head.

Liu Yiyi caught Wen Jing, who was nimbly moving around, and slapped her on the buttocks several times. Wen Jing screamed, "Mom, I won't dare to do it again, never again!"

Wen Wan was stunned, but Wei Zheng beside her held back his laughter and casually pulled out the chicken feather that looked like it was rising into the sky from Wen Wan's head.

But the young lady walked in calmly without changing her expression and began to deal with household affairs in an orderly manner.

"Mother, what happened to Wen Jing?"

"She played with cow dung! She even rolled it into strips and threw them into Zhang Erniu's bowl!"

Wen Jing shouted, "He deserves it! Who told him to go around saying that our Rui fruit syrup killed people? I'm fighting for the honor of our family! Mom, you should reward me!"

Wen Wan held her forehead and said, "Mother, Wen Jing is right."

Wen Jing shook her head proudly, "See, I told you my sister would stand by me!"

Wen Jing had just finished saying this when she was hit on the forehead with a chestnut. The pain made her grimace in pain, tears welling up in her eyes. "Sister——"

"How stupid! Remember to let it go quietly next time! If you're caught doing something bad, you'll definitely get a beating!"

Wen Jing said aggrievedly: What you said does make sense.

Chen Ma's kitchen was about to catch fire. Wen Wan grabbed the lid of the pot next to her and covered the boiling iron pot. She smiled and patted Chen Ma's shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, Chen Ma."

Chen Ma wiped her sweat and said, "It's not hard! Old Madam Yao just came and gave her a basket of crabs. I'm making crab roe porridge. You can have some later, young lady."

Wen Wan had just eaten a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice and was feeling a little drowsy.

Mother Chen stared at her sinisterly, "Are you out hunting again?"

"How could that be?" Wen Wan retorted righteously, "With Aunt Chen's amazing cooking skills at home, how could I possibly go out and eat secretly!"

But my Aunt Chen, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a mistress.

There are so many delicious foods outside——

Wen Weiming could no longer bear it. As soon as he saw Wen Wan, he shouted, "My girl, why is Zhao Zhao crying all the time? Is she feeling unwell?"

As he spoke, Wen Weiming had already seen Wei Zheng standing in the courtyard.

Although Wen Wan had already told him Wei Zheng's identity, Wen Weiming's pupils still shrank when he saw Wei Zheng coming back to life.

The old man had never felt so guilty in his life. He stuffed Zhao Zhao into Wen Wan's hands like a hot potato, pretending not to see Wei Zheng. He wiped the sweat off his face as he walked into the inner room, "I'm going to check on Hun'er. Oh, this wet nurse was just fired yesterday, and she's in a mess..."

Wen Wan saw her adopted father staggering as he ran, and knew that he was afraid of Wei Zheng. She thought that her adopted father was disloyal, abandoning her and running for his life at the critical moment.

Wen Wan could only hold Zhao Zhao, who was crying loudly.

There was also a warm and quiet magic sound outside.

The cries continued one after another.

Wen Wan said helplessly: "Are you and your aunt having some kind of competition?"
