Wanjin Lady

Chapter 334 Eavesdropping
"Mrs. Jia, the third wife of the Yuan family, believes I'm the murderer of her son. Zhang Laixi's murder this morning must have been her doing. If that's the case, even if we return to Ping County, we won't be able to rest in peace."

"In that case, I might as well not run away."

The young lady's voice was soft, but inexplicably had a murderous aura.

"The only way to escape the hunter is to become the hunter, or kill the hunter."

Wen Weiming pursed his lips, suddenly losing his appetite. Liu Yiyi angrily said, "When her son died, you were still drunk in Lanyue Pavilion. Is this Jia Shi crazy? Why do you think you are the murderer?"

Wen Wan and Wei Zheng looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

Wei Zheng lowered his eyebrows, and a strange curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

Wen Wan said, "Right now, only our family and his family are at odds. Besides... he can hire someone to kill me even if I'm not around. As long as Jia doesn't find evidence, she'll start to suspect the Wen family, and we won't have a peaceful life."

Wen Wan looked at Wen Weiming, "What does Dad mean?"

Wen Weiming was in a state of confusion, but since Wen Wan had made the decision, he couldn't go against it. After much thought, he couldn't find any better ideas, so he said, "Since you're the boss, your decision is final. As you said, there's no point in retreating, so there's no need to retreat."

Liu Yiyi only cared about the question of whether to stay or go. "So, according to what the eldest lady said... we have to stay in Bozhou?"

Wen Wan nodded, "Yes, I won't leave. We'll leave when the Yuan family is completely destroyed."

"Okay. Since you're staying here permanently, let's unload our luggage tonight. We still need to buy some new things tomorrow. Oh, and we need to find a new wet nurse."

"It's up to you, mother."

The other people had even less objection.

Anyway, Wen Wan is the head of the Wen family, and Wen Wan has the final say.

However, thinking about completely breaking off relations with the Yuan family and the inevitable troubles in the future, the group of people lost their appetite.

The dinner table finally quieted down as everyone digested the big news that Wen Wan brought.

After dinner, Wen Wan and Liu Yiyi sneaked into the house with their two children. Wei Zheng wanted to talk to her about Zhang Lai Xi's lawsuit. When he walked to the door and was about to knock, he suddenly heard a muffled groan from inside.

When Wei Zheng looked up, he saw the young lady's slender silhouette under the light through the window.

Through the doors and windows, the young lady's voice was hoarse and hesitant, "Mother, is this posture correct?"

Liu Yiyi's voice came, "Lift his butt higher."

"But it hurts!"

"Do you have breast pain or breastfeeding pain?"

"Breastfeeding."

Liu Yiyi laughed. "It can't be helped. Hun'er and Zhaozhao are teething faster than the other children. They bit their wet nurse when she was feeding them before. They're so young, and we can't reason with them. You just have to bear with it. I'll go out and find a suitable wet nurse tomorrow. If all else fails, I'll beg the previous wet nurse to come to you."

Wen Wan felt a strange, tingling sensation in her chest. She found it both miraculous and embarrassing. "Mother, they also feel uncomfortable when they're teething. Tomorrow, find some cloth, wash it, and wipe the children's gums."

"Oh, I see. Young girls really have many ways."

Wei Zheng's hand that was pushing the door stopped in mid-air. He quickly pulled it back as if he had reached into a stove and got burned. In an instant, the burning sensation spread from his fingertips to his heart.

My mind uncontrollably recalled the swaying boat, the moonlit river surface, the fragrance of soapberry and wild gardenia, as well as the long black hair and soft breasts.

He didn't even notice Wen Jing coming over.

"Wei——"

As soon as Wen Jing opened her mouth, Wei Zheng covered her mouth and twisted it away like a chicken.

The two people, one big and one small, walked to the middle of the yard. Wei Zheng let go of their hands only when he saw that no one was paying attention to them.

Wen Jing's eyes widened, and then she smiled evilly, "Master Wei, you're eavesdropping!"

“I have something to say to your older sister. I just happened to be walking by.” “Oh…” Wen Jing smiled even more broadly, “You were eavesdropping.”

"I couldn't hear it clearly because of the doors and windows."

"Oh. You eavesdropped."

Wei Zheng pursed his lips and looked at the evil little guy in front of him. For the first time in his life, he felt helpless.

Go ahead and hit him, this kid just got hit.

Let’s not fight. It’s a bit uncomfortable.

"Here's hush money." Wei Zheng took off the purse hanging from his waist and threw it to Wen Jing, "Don't mention this matter again."

Wen Jing threw the purse back with great dignity, "You want to bribe me? That's impossible! I am my elder sister's most loyal servant!"

Wei Zheng frowned, "Slave? You are the second daughter of the Wen family. Who told you... that you are a slave in this family?"

"My sister!" Wen Jing raised her chin slightly, a smug look on her face. "My sister said that as long as I'm loyal to her, listen to her, bring her food every day, help her with work, and be her lackey, she'll consider letting me stay home and not get married!"

Wei Zheng: ...

This kid... looks cute... but seems a little bit mentally handicapped.

"So do you want to take revenge on Zhang Erniu?"

Wen Jing's eyes lit up. "Sir Wei, I'm not sleepy anymore if you keep talking about this."

Seeing the fish taking the bait, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Fan me and I'll teach you."

Wen Jing resigned herself to her fate and found a palm-leaf fan in the house. Then, like a lackey, she fanned Wei Zheng, who was lying on the imperial chair in the yard. She also said earnestly, "Master Wei, please tell me how to deal with Zhang Erniu. He was such a jerk. Last time, he showed no respect for martial ethics in the fight and even pulled my braid."

Wei Zheng lay in a chair, his posture lazy. He leaned back and felt the summer breeze. He felt more comfortable than ever before. "Wind harder."

Wen Jing's arms were about to dance out sparks.

In a short while, he was so tired that he was panting like a dog.

"Master Wei, please tell me how we are going to deal with Zhang Erniu?!"

"Your brother-in-law is truly wise, brave, handsome, infuriating, capable of both civil and military skills, and also considerate and gentle?"

Two voices, one loud and one soft, rang out simultaneously.

Wei Zheng seized the opportunity and said, "You answer first."

Wen Jing's movements slowed down, and then a trace of fear of being dominated by her brother-in-law slowly appeared on her face. She shook her head, "He's both civil and martial... gentle and considerate... that's for my sister!"

"He summoned me and dismissed me at will, kicking me away..."

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that children’s words really cannot be trusted.

The two sisters had completely opposite opinions about the same person.

Being bored, Wei Zheng teased her with a smile, "Your brother-in-law is so mean to you in secret, why didn't you tell your sister? Your sister loves you, how could she not protect you?"

Wen Jing shook her head, "He's good at pretending!"

"He acts like a bullied young wife in front of my sister, but in front of other people he's just... just..." Wen Jing pondered for a long time before finally finding a more appropriate word, "the King of Hell who wants your life!"

"He has a long face all day long. Except when he sees my sister, he always smiles like this..." Wen Jing mechanically pushed her cheeks up, "This fake smile. It's like I owe him dozens of taels of silver!"

"Then he has no benefit at all?"

"He's very skilled, doesn't that count?"
