Wanjin Lady

Chapter 343: Slap in the face
Yes, Cheng Yunzhang has always been like this. A genius who passed the imperial examination at a young age...how could he be incompetent?
"What do you think..." Wen Wan licked her dry lips. There was a hint of bewilderment in her eyes, but she wasn't helpless. After the bewilderment, a cold and cool light shone in them. "Did he guess the cause of Yuan Qi's death?"

The two people remained silent.

Cheng Yunzhang is nominally Wei Zheng's junior brother and Wen Wan's senior brother.

Wei Zheng has already sided with Wen Wan once, and what's more... since Cheng Yunzhang is looking for the city defense map, it means that he is suspicious of Wen Wan and not Wei Zheng.

If the truth really comes out, can Wen Wan push Wei Zheng out to take the blame?
What's more, there is also that jade hairpin.

Wen Wan didn't know how much of the truth Cheng Yunzhang had pieced together, and she didn't know how Cheng Yunzhang would react if he knew all this.

Wei Zheng knocked on the table, and the young lady's faint gaze fell on his fingers.

She was in a trance.

"Yesterday, you severed your ties with Junior Brother Xiuwen in front of everyone just to avoid getting him into trouble, right?"

The young lady's eyes were empty. "I didn't want to be his enemy, but unfortunately, fate played tricks on me."

Wei Zheng reminded her, "Cheng Yunzhang is just suspicious right now. You still have a few days to turn things around."

"Turn around?" Wen Wan sneered, "There are several lives between him and me. Do you think there's still room for improvement?"

"Besides, there's no regret after making a move. I've already done it, so I have no fear."

"I killed him. If he seeks revenge, I will bear the full responsibility."

Seeing the murderous look on the young lady's face while she said "I'll take full responsibility", Wei Zheng knew in his heart that Junior Sister Wen had such an unruly temper...how could she just accept it?

"Are you really going to break up with me?" Wei Zheng was worried about Yao Shizhen. The man narrowed his eyes, his emotions hard to discern. "You're going to make things difficult for the teacher... and for me too."

"I won't force my adoptive father or the Marquis to side with me. I can't influence other people's opinions. I just need to...clarify my own heart."

There was only one thing standing in her way.

Cheng Yunzhang treated her very well.

She once sincerely regarded Cheng Yunzhang as a friend.

But that’s all.

The young lady had clear eyes and a deafening voice.

"Following my heart is the path I pursue!"

Suddenly, an evening breeze blew outside the window, causing the flame of the candlestick beside Wei Zheng to jump, and the whole room flickered.

The young lady in front of him was standing by the window. A sad and beautiful moonlight fell on her shoulders, shrouding her whole body in a layer of holy light. In a trance, she looked like a goddess in heaven.

The goddess is not universally loving.

On the contrary, because she is a high and mighty god, she never takes ants like humans seriously. The goddess, who appears holy and innocent, actually steps on the corpses of mortals.

Junior Sister Wen...you are such a warm-hearted person.

Look at the woman under the moonlight again.

Her appearance is even more beautiful than before.

The eyebrows are like spring mountains, and the pupils are like autumn water.

She has cloud-like hair and a slim waist, and is graceful and elegant.

She is elegant and beautiful all over, with a delicate fragrance all over her body.

She had a faint smile on her face, which made her seem distant. Only then did Wei Zheng notice that she had two small dimples on the sides of her lips when she smiled.

Her eyes were very beautiful, like crescent moons when she smiled, with tiny flickering lights in the depths of her eyes, as if the man-eating female monster in the snowy mountains was waving at him, and he was unknowingly lured to the entrance of the cave.

Wei Zheng suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. An inexplicable palpitation spread through his body, flowing with his blood to his internal organs, until every hair on his skin stood on end. This was dangerous.

It was all Hou Ji's fault for whispering nonsense in his ears all day long about things like female demons on the snowy mountains, dual cultivation, cannibalism, and other nonsense!

Wei Zheng came back to his senses.

I have to send Hou Ji another hundred toilets tomorrow! Let’s see if he still has the energy to choreograph!
Wen Wan didn't get any useful information, so she stood up and bowed slightly to him, "It's late, my Lord, please go to bed early."

The young lady turned around without hesitation, leaving the faint fragrance of wild gardenia all over the ground. Wei Zheng stood up and took two quick steps to catch up with the man. "I'll take my junior sister home."

The young lady frowned, thinking about something, and ignored Wei Zheng's words. "No need, it's only a few steps away, and we'll be there in an incense stick of time."

Wei Zheng lowered his eyes and saw the young lady's thick and long eyelashes.

He smiled, said nothing, and just walked side by side with her.

The Albizia julibrissin in the yard is in full bloom, with small white flowers blooming on the branches. When the wind blows, they rustle and a few petals fall onto the bluestone slabs.

Wei Zheng had never noticed that there were so many kinds of flowers planted in the back hall of the Governor's Mansion, including Albizia julibrissin, Osmanthus fragrans, Fragrant vine, and White jasmine. Some of them had not yet bloomed, with only green branches and leaves swaying in the wind; some flowers were in full bloom, showing off their beauty in the midsummer evening breeze.

I used to walk this road every day, why did I never pay attention to these details?
He even smelled the unique sweet scent in the summer air.

My heart, which had been burning with anxiety just now, is now gradually calming down...

After a while, Wei Zheng sent Wen Wan to the door. Wen Wan stepped on the last stone step but suddenly stopped, turned around and looked up at the man under the warm curtain.

"My Lord, I appreciate your kindness towards Zhao Zhao and Hun'er, but in the future... please refrain from sending such expensive gifts. I feel uneasy because I cannot repay you."

The man's sword-like eyebrows drooped, his face full of confusion, "Is it expensive?"

Wen Wan said patiently, "Twenty pairs of longevity locks are enough for an ordinary family to eat, wear and use for a lifetime."

"Oh." Wei Zheng looked like he was being taught something, but his eyes were cold. "Twenty pairs of longevity locks may be valuable to you, Shopkeeper Wen, but to me, Wei Zheng... they're a drop in the bucket."

"If Shopkeeper Wen feels uneasy about accepting the gift, he should work harder to earn money to repay me instead of asking me to stop giving gifts."

Wen Wan: I’m going to fight with you rich people!

Seeing Wen Wan's grin again, Wei Zheng couldn't hide the curve of his lips. The man was wearing a dark home suit, and his long robe with wide sleeves looked like a banished immortal. He stood on the steps, half of his face was in shadow because he was leaning against the lantern.

At this moment, Wei Zheng's face completely matched Zhao Heng's face.

Wenwan's heart suddenly felt a pain as if it were being pricked by needles.

Especially Wei Zheng's half-smile, which made Wen Wan seem to return to the scenes in Ping County every time Wei Zheng sent her to the winery.

At that time, Wei Zheng was also standing in the corridor watching her go away, waiting for her to come back, day after day.

Month refers to the current year's month.

People are from the old times.

But a broken mirror cannot be mended.

Her reaction time always seems to be longer than others.

Until this moment, she suddenly woke up.

It seems that she lost her virginity and heart to action figures... very early... very early... very early...

What cement-sealed heart! What my heart is like iron! What fleeting romance! Those are all jokes to fool myself!
At this moment, she warned herself to stay away from Wei Zheng, but at the same time she uncontrollably approached Wei Zheng like a moth to a flame.

Gentle.

You're done.

You are going to be slapped in the face by love again!
