Wanjin Lady

Chapter 347 Entering the Water
She looked at the shimmering water and looked around, but did not see Cheng Yunzhang.

It’s over.

Could this guy be unfamiliar with water?

Wen Wan was anxiously searching for that person when she heard Wei Zheng's anxious roar from the shore: "Wen Wan!!"

Immediately afterwards, a row of people fell into the water one after another like dumplings.

Wei Zheng had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he was naturally very good at swimming. He saw heads floating on the wide river surface, and in a moment the man swam to Wen Wan.

Soon, Cheng Yunzhang was also rescued.

Wei Zheng was already approaching. He picked her up, held her by his side with one hand, and swam towards the shore.

Cheng Yunzhang and Wen Wan both went ashore.

Cheng Yunzhang was not good at swimming and sank after struggling for a few times. Fortunately, he was quickly rescued by Monkey and his friends.

Wen Wan was exhausted, her little face turned pale from being soaked in the river water, her eyes were closed, and she was obviously unconscious.

Wei Zheng waved his hand and said, "Send him back to the Governor's Office first. Yuanjie, go get the doctor!"

The carriage sped along and returned to the Governor's Residence a few minutes later.

Someone from the front had already informed them of the arrangements. As soon as they entered the house, the brazier and clean clothes were already prepared, and Cheng Yunzhang and Wen Wan were carried into the house separately.

In Wen Wan's room, an old maid from the kitchen was already preparing, "My Lord, I will change Miss Wen's clothes."

Wei Zheng naturally had to avoid it.

The old maid urged him again, "My Lord, you are soaked through. Go change into clean clothes first."

Wei Zheng stood at the door, dripping wet. He didn't move closer when he heard the words. He just instructed the old woman, "She's not feeling well. Make the brazier burn brighter and have someone rush the doctor!"

Wei Zheng left Wen Wan and went to the inner hall to change clothes. Because he often stayed in the military camp and was suspicious by nature, he did not like to be served personally and did all the daily chores by himself. Wei Zheng took off the loose home clothes from the wooden yoke and put them on, then frowned.

Wen Wan can travel through the underground river under Bozhou, so her swimming skills and physical strength must be excellent. How could she have fallen into the water and lost consciousness tonight?
Wei Zheng frowned, then he thought of something and couldn't hide a smile on his face.

If you really care, you will be in chaos.

How could you forget that this young lady is a loach?

Wen Wan would rather pretend to be unconscious than speak, which made Wei Zheng even more curious about the conversation between Cheng Yunzhang and Wen Wan tonight.

Wei Zheng tied his belt and walked out into the evening breeze.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng and Wen Wan met face to face.

Wen Wan had just shaken off the old maid in the kitchen, changed her clothes and was about to sneak away. When she turned around, she saw Wei Zheng walking towards her in the yard.

He changed into a magnolia-colored robe with wide sleeves, a color close to jade white, darker than white and brighter than beige. It was embroidered with golden orchids. Before he walked, the orchids looked like butterflies fluttering in the air.

His hair had just been wiped dry with cotton cloth and was still a little wet. When Wen Wan approached, she could smell the elegant and cool fragrance on him.

Wen Wan was caught red-handed and felt awkward. "Thank you very much for saving my life, Lord. But it's getting late, so I can't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now."

The man looked her up and down with his beautiful eyes.

The young lady was wearing a coarse linen dress, her hair was wet, but even with her straw hat and cloth skirt, her beauty could not be concealed, and her eyes looked even brighter in the night.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng did not ask about her conversation with Cheng Yunzhang.

His eyes drifted to her feet.

There were few women in the Governor's House, and it was difficult to find a clean set of clothes, let alone a pair of shoes that fit.

"Your shoes are still wet." Wei Zheng took a step forward, his tone unquestionable, "Dry your shoes first before going back."

Wen Wan was taken aback, and then she heard the man's deep voice in her ear, "Don't worry, if you don't tell me what happened tonight, I won't ask." In that case, this young lady should no longer avoid him.

Wen Wan was determined to leave. "Forget it. Given the current situation... I don't want to face Cheng Yunzhang head-on again."

Now he doesn’t even call me senior brother. Does this mean... Wen Wan has really broken up with Cheng Yunzhang?
By this calculation, Cheng Yunzhang already knew all this.

Maybe he even knows...the origin of the city defense map in Wen Wan's hand.

Before Wei Zheng could react, Wen Wan had already left wearing those wet shoes. Wei Zheng immediately waved and called Hou Ji over, "Go, take Miss Wen home."

In this way, Wei Zheng's heart was occupied by Wen Wan's pair of soaked shoes.

No matter how tough Wenwan is, she is still a woman.

She had just given birth four months ago, and her body might not have fully recovered yet. She was always soaked in cold water, and now she was walking home in a pair of soaked shoes. They say that the cold comes from the feet. If she doesn't take good care of herself during the confinement period, she will suffer a lot in her old age.

Miss Wen has a really hard life.

Wei Zheng turned back to see Cheng Yunzhang. Cheng Yunzhang had already woken up. He changed into clean clothes and was given a bowl of ginger soup. He was now curled up in a chair. He slowly opened his eyes when he saw Wei Zheng coming.

Wei Zheng couldn't help feeling guilty when facing Cheng Yunzhang.

That day, just seeing Wen Wan in danger, he subconsciously shot Yuan Qi without knowing the truth.

When Wei Zheng learned Yuan Qi's identity later, it was too late to undo the damage.

Since the evil has been done, he will have to bear the consequences.

Yuan Qi's death was not a pity, and the matter could be resolved by making up any excuse, but in the end... a rift had arisen between the two brothers.

Since there was no way to avoid it, Wei Zheng hesitated whether to tell Cheng Yunzhang about this, but Cheng Yunzhang had already looked at him.

"Senior Brother Jinyu."

Wei Zheng sat down on the chair opposite Cheng Yunzhang, and the two brothers sat facing each other.

The candlelight in the room was dim, making it difficult for Wei Zheng to see the man's face clearly.

"I know you gave Wen Wan the city defense map." Cheng Yunzhang slowly raised his eyes. Perhaps because he had just drunk some water, his voice sounded a little hoarse. "I just want to ask you, Senior Brother."

"You ask." Wei Zheng sat steadily, his face indifferent, without any emotion or joy. Even when facing Cheng Yunzhang's questioning, he seemed very calm.

He was born to be in power and never allowed himself to be in a lower position because of his mistakes.

Besides, he had already vaguely guessed what Cheng Yunzhang was going to ask.

"When you lent Wen Wan the city defense map... did you know her purpose?"

Wei Zheng was stunned and pondered for a moment, "I don't know. She told me...she wanted to find a good place to do business in the city."

But what can you do even if you know?
Wen Wan is his junior sister, so he is half-uncle to the two children, while Yuan Qi is just a street cat or dog.

If Wen Wan wanted to kill Yuan Qi, he would cut off Yuan Qi's head and give it to her as a gift.

Senior brother.

You always have to do the dirty work.

In the past, my aunt always said that he was very hot-tempered and protective of his own people, and that he was different from other people in this world. Whatever he liked, he would try every possible way to get it, openly or secretly; anyone who belonged to him or anything else was not allowed to touch him; and when it came to his family, he would always say that he was right, whether he was right or wrong.

Perhaps, he really is a strange person?

"So Senior Brother Jinyu knew all along that she was the one who killed my fifth cousin?"

Wei Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

After a long while, he said in a cold voice: "Yuan Qi is on the first day, so it's no wonder that Wen Wan is on the fifteenth. The law of nature is retribution, and those who kill will be killed!"
