Wanjin Lady

Chapter 348 Old Dream
Cheng Yunzhang's face turned pale, his fists clenched, he tried to argue, but he couldn't open his mouth.

So what if Yuanqi killed Lu Ping?
Lu Ping is just a slave.

Could it be that Lu Ping meant more to her than her senior brother? More than the Yuan family? Even more than her teacher?
Cheng Yunzhang suddenly felt frustrated, as if his heart was being weighed down by a heavy weight, making it impossible to breathe.

His feelings for Wen Wan were hidden in the dark and never seen in the light. He never expected Wen Wan to return the same feelings, but when killing his two cousins, Wen Wan did not hesitate at all and never thought that all this would put him in a dilemma.

How could she...

On the one hand, he killed his relatives with a knife.

At the same time, he pretended to be calm and called him "Senior Brother Xiu Wen".

There is absolutely no him in her heart!

Cheng Yunzhang's head was splitting with pain, and his body felt like it was being pulled to the sides, nearly ripping him apart. He felt hatred in his heart, but he couldn't hate it, couldn't bear to let it go. He chewed it up and swallowed it, and the hatred turned into a searing pain, burning his internal organs.

Wei Zheng roughly guessed what Wen Wan and Cheng Yunzhang talked about on the boat.

This junior fellow was truly amazing. He pieced together the complete truth from a bunch of fragmented clues, and even used a trick to alert the enemy and trap him.

If Cheng Yunzhang and Wen Wan really break up, what should the teacher do?

"Actually...your fifth cousin..."

Wei Zheng was about to speak when Cheng Yunzhang interrupted him, "Is she... gone?"

Wei Zheng nodded, his mind returning to the young woman's damp shoes as she left. In this weather, and with such a short distance to go home, she shouldn't catch a cold, right?

Cheng Yunzhang struggled to get up. Wen Wan was determined to leave and was obviously ready to fight to the death with the third house. He had to find a way to stop her.

But tonight... the wind outside seems to be a little cooler than usual.

The coat she was wearing was so thin.

Cheng Yunzhang looked at the gloomy sky outside and let out a breath.

She also snatched away the only evidence in his hand.

From then on, the two had no reason to meet each other again.

The next time they meet, they will fight.

Cheng Yunzhang stood up and argued. He had no reason to stay with Wei Zheng. His third aunt would not give up, and Wen Wan was not someone who would just accept things passively. The real battle between the two families was about to break out.

Cheng Yunzhang got up and put on the dried coat, and packed it up quickly. He looked surprised and confused, especially when he thought about the city defense map that Wei Zheng had lent to Wen Wan, he felt even more upset.

"Brother Wei, if Wen Wan and I really want to fight to the death, I won't force you to choose sides." Cheng Yunzhang stood by the door, his figure seemed much thinner than before. After this chaotic night, his eyes became calmer and colder. "So, please don't interfere."

Wei Zheng said nothing.

It seems like he is listening, but it also seems like he is not listening.

Cheng Yunzhang was confused, but Wei Zheng never lost heart. "As long as no lives are lost, I won't intervene easily. But—"

Wei Zheng looked at him and said, "You can't interfere."

Cheng Yunzhang's face turned pale.

That's it.

In this way, it can be considered a promise.

Cheng Yunzhang clenched his hands at the door, then slowly loosened them.

Power.

Power is a good thing.

If he was strong enough, he might have stopped all this long ago.

If he were strong enough, Wen Wan might not act so recklessly.

"That... is enough." Cheng Yunzhang's smile was cold and indifferent. He stepped out of the door with difficulty and suddenly stopped.

The night wind blew, and a strand of hair on his forehead fluttered gently.

The stars in his eyes had long since shattered.

"There are some things I shouldn't say." The man's voice was hoarse and he paused for a moment, "But I have to say it."

"Senior Brother Jinyu, Wen Wan is not an ordinary woman."

Cheng Yunzhang's throat tightened, a desolate tear welled up at the corner of his eye, and his shoulders slumped as if weighed down by a thousand pounds. "She is a ferocious beast that will devour people."

“No one can control this beast.”

"Zhao Heng can't do it, and neither can my senior brother."

Wei Zheng suddenly raised his eyes, his crimson lips slightly parted, "What does this have to do with Zhao Heng?"

Cheng Yunzhang knew he had misunderstood, so he said, "Zhao Heng... is the name of Wen Wan's late husband."

In the end, Cheng Yunzhang did not tell Wei Zheng that Wen Wan’s so-called “deceased husband” might still be alive.

Wei Zheng frowned.

Zhao Heng?

Is this name... common?
How come some people still use such an ugly name?
Wei Zheng stood up and waved his white hands. He was tall and wore a robe with wide sleeves. When he stood up, he was like a mountain pressing down on his head, which made people feel aggressive.

"Wen Wan is neither a beast nor an ox or a horse. She is a human being. Why should I control a living person?"

When Cheng Yunzhang heard this, it was as if his brain was punched by someone, and the chaos in his mind dissipated instantly!

The clouds clear and the fog clears!

He looked at the man standing in front of him in the bright and handsome light, and suddenly he felt like a maggot crawling in the gutter.

He is not as good as Senior Brother Wei.

Cheng Yunzhang's throat was dry. "I just... don't want Senior Brother Wei to end up like me."

Wei Zheng smiled calmly, showing understanding, and then ended the conversation with a word.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, Junior Brother."

Cheng Yunzhang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and walked out the door.

Wei Zheng stared at Cheng Yunzhang's feet.

Cheng Yunzhang has clean and warm shoes to wear, so why doesn’t Junior Sister Wen have any?

Wei Zheng is a military general, and his long military career has made him decisive and ruthless.

He never wastes time on internal affairs, so he doesn't think too much about the meaningful look in Cheng Yunzhang's eyes when he left.

But he couldn't sleep that night.

He lay on the mat, listening to the wind blowing through the trees outside. Perhaps it was the fragrance of gardenias in the yard that made him feel confused and dazed.

If Wen Wan had not walked through that courtyard today, he would not have known what flowers were planted in his yard.

Why is this so.

Why didn’t I pay attention to these details before?

Why is it that when he is with Junior Sister Wen, he has the leisure to care about what flowers are planted in the yard, whether the moon is full or half, and what the air smells like?

After falling into a drowsy sleep, I began to dream continuously.

He sometimes dreamed of the once bustling Duke's Mansion, where his mother, father, and elder sister were all there. Back then, he and his elder sister were still young. His elder sister was a girl, and she was more spoiled, so his father liked her more and often carried her on his back to pick flowers in the yard.

He was extremely jealous and wanted to sit on his father's tall shoulders, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Fortunately, his father noticed his embarrassment in time, stretched out his strong arms, and supported him with one hand.

My sister liked to play pranks. She picked a flower and put it behind his ear, making fun of him for looking like a little girl. He then angrily pulled my sister's hairpin.

Later, somehow, I dreamed of Wen Wan again.

He dreamed that he was lying in the snow-capped forest of Cangshan Mountain. Thick snow covered his body and the cold air penetrated into his body like a knife. When his eyes were unfocused, he seemed to see the azure sky.

In the snow-capped mountains, Wen Wan approached slowly in a bright red wedding dress. She walked on the snow with her bare snow-white feet. The bright red and the dazzling white complemented each other, making the woman look even more charming.

The female monster in the snowy mountains!
In the blink of an eye.

The snow forest turned into a wedding hall.

All he saw was the joyful red color. The courtyard was filled with guests, the air was filled with the aroma of wine, and the sound of bells and drums was heard. He and Wen Wan were dressed in bright red wedding dresses, and the two of them got married in the presence of their relatives and friends.

Then, on the red sheet covered with longans, peanuts, and red dates, two naked figures intertwined, and on the windowsill, two red candles stood in pairs, reflecting the dawn.

Wei Zheng suddenly woke up from his sleep.

When I woke up, my whole body was soaked with sweat, and my clothes on my back were stuck to each other. I looked up and saw that it was dark outside the window. It was already the middle of the night.
