Wanjin Lady

Chapter 364 Instigation
The wooden box was heavy and sealed with a sticker. The old servant didn't dare to open it without permission and could only deliver it to Jia.

When Jia heard the noise, she finally opened her tired eyelids. The old servant immediately carried the things to the small table beside Jia's bed.

She didn't dare to provoke Jia, but she also didn't dare to hide the truth. So she observed Jia's expression while slowly saying, "Madam, Shopkeeper Wen sent someone to bring you a gift. He said you must open it yourself."

Jia couldn't bear to hear the word "gentle". She breathed harder and gritted her teeth and said, "She gave me a gift? Oh, it's really like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. Open it and take a look..."

The old servant could only open the wooden box, then frowned slightly.

She bent down, exerted force with her arms, and took out a pot of wine from the wooden box, then turned to look at Jia.

Jia took a closer look and her face changed immediately!

This is not a gift at all!
This was a jar of wine with a round belly and a sign saying "Rui Guojiang" on it. There was also a small portrait of a woman. Jia knew at a glance that the woman in the portrait was Wen Wan!

Jia covered her heart with her hands, her chest heaving violently, and her ten fingertips poked at the gentle little statue on the wine pot.

"Bitch!"

"She's showing off! She's provocative!"

"I will never let her have an easy time!"

The third wife of the Yuan family smashed cups and glasses, and Concubine Chun was also worried.

Since Yuan Wulang's death, Jia has been crazy and no longer cares about the affairs in the backyard. She took advantage of the situation and seized the power of housekeeper from Jia Ruzhen.

Apart from praying to Buddha all day long and asking the gods to capture Wen Wan, Jia spent the rest of her time arguing with Yuan Yidao. She didn't even care about her being in charge of the household expenses.

Exactly the same as she was last year.

Aunt Chun's life was exceptionally happy. She only had to wipe her tears every day, act servile in front of Jia and Yuan Yidao, and occasionally pretend to feel sorry for Yuan Wulang. Then Jia would immediately fly into a rage or cry uncontrollably, acting like a mad woman.

She easily played with and manipulated Jia's emotions, making her unable to live or die, on the verge of collapse at any time, and becoming a madman in the eyes of others.

There is no more satisfying revenge than making your enemy feel the same pain you've suffered.

But at this moment, Aunt Chun couldn't smile when facing Wen Wan.

At this time, the two met in a private room on the second floor of a clothing store. There was no one around, so Aunt Chun and Wen Wan ran into each other head-on, and there was no way to avoid each other.

Aunt Chun didn't know how to face Wen Wan.

Just because Jia spread rumors, it didn't mean that the Yuan family didn't believe her.

Unfortunately, this matter was based on hearsay and there was no evidence. Jia was now going crazy and everything became a case with no clear end in sight.

Aunt Chun didn't want to be caught, but she also didn't want to offend Wen Wan for no reason.

After all, Wen Wan is Jia's enemy, not hers.

So, she nodded slightly as a greeting, "Manager Wen, what a coincidence."

The young lady came closer.

Sunlight shines through the windows, illuminating the private room on the second floor.

"Unfortunately." The young lady smiled softly, her eyes as clear as autumn water, calm and indifferent, "I have been waiting for Aunt Chun here for a long time."

Aunt Chun was stunned, feeling uneasy, "Why are you waiting for me?"

There was no hatred between the two of them in the past or today, so what could Wen Wan do to her?

Aunt Chun had a natural sense of crisis. Now that Jia Ruzhen and Wen Wan were in such a mess, she still couldn't get involved. So she turned to leave, saying, "Manager Wen, I'm just a lowly concubine. If you need anything, please go to our madam." Aunt Chun was about to leave when she suddenly heard that chilling voice behind her.

"I roughly know the cause of Yuan Liulang's death. Auntie, don't you want to hear it?"

Aunt Chun's face froze, her pupils shrank, and she suddenly turned around.

The young lady had already sat down, smiling calmly, as if everything was under her control. "Is Concubine Chun not interested in knowing? Or rather, Concubine Chun doesn't want to avenge her son?"

Aunt Chun's voice trembled a little. "What do you want to say?"

She turned her head and looked around, only to find that there was no one in the private room on the second floor, even the old servant who served her had disappeared.

She knew that Wen Wan came prepared today.

"Mrs. Chun, why don't you think about this? Who will benefit after Yuan Liulang's death? Then think along this line..."

The young lady sat in the backlight, her face was plain and her expression was calm, but her voice was like a ghost talisman demanding death.

"Yuan Liulang and I fought in Ping County. I stole his food and supplies, and he sent people to kidnap me. Unfortunately, he kidnapped my maid by mistake. As for what happened to my maid afterwards... Concubine Chun should know everything."

Aunt Chun gritted her teeth, "Every wrong has its perpetrator! Liu Lang told me that he only had your maid kidnapped, and didn't let anyone touch your maid at all! It was your maid's bad luck that caused all this trouble! Now Liu Lang is gone, and the debt is settled. Why are you looking for me?"

"Yes!" Wen Wan suddenly stood up. "Yuan Liulang told me the same thing! He said he never intended to harm me or my maids! But Aunt Chun, why didn't the robbers Yuan Liulang hired obey his orders? Why did they disappear as soon as something happened?"

Aunt Chun was stunned and seemed unable to react.

Wenwan raised her lips slowly and each word she spoke struck Aunt Chun's heart.

"Did you know that during the days when my maid was in trouble... Yuan Qi was also in Ping County?"

"He passed through Ping County under the pretext of buying medicinal herbs. After a brief stay, he led his men away. However, as far as I know, Yuan Wulang has been hiding in Ping County. You can verify this with Yuan Wulang's driver."

Wen Wan's chest heaved. "Aunt Chun, why don't you think about it? Yuan Wulang, who claimed to have left Ping County, has been secretly hiding by Yuan Liulang's side all along. What has he been doing during this time?"

Aunt Chun's face changed, and her red lips opened slightly...

"Yuan Liulang wanted to buy my wine shop, but he didn't have the money. Gang Leader Liu of the Cao Gang tried to dissuade Yuan Liulang from doing so, but he still went to the gambling house that night and ended up owing a thousand taels of silver."

"It is said that he has five hundred taels of silver borrowed from Xinlong Bank as capital."

"But as far as I know, the manager of Xinlong Bank, Ding, would never lend such a debt without any collateral. There must be someone behind this who is colluding with others."

"Mrs. Chun." The young lady's gentle gaze seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing down on Mrs. Chun, making her unable to stand steadily. "The night Yuan Liulang was in the gambling house, the person who accompanied him the whole time was Mr. Zhou, the accountant. Mrs. Chun, do you trust Mr. Zhou?"

Aunt Chun's throat rolled over, and her eyes trembled, "Zhou Li... was brought by Jia's family."

Seeing that the seeds of doubt had been planted, Wen Wan slowly relaxed her tone without showing any emotion.

Genrokuro, rest in peace. I promise this is the last time I will use you.

Since you are going to die, your death must be meaningful.

"Jia is slandering me based on nothing but rumors. I dare to swear to heaven that I did not kill Yuan Qi."

"But Yuan Qi is dead now, otherwise I would definitely ask him if he dares to swear that he has never tried to sow discord between Yuan Liulang and me, and used me, Wen Wan, as a knife to deal with Yuan Liulang!"

This is the last business storyline. Those who don't like business storylines can skip this one; the male lead's role won't be very prominent. Those who want to see the male lead can catch up next week.

After defeating the Yuan family, the male protagonist regains his memories.

It will end in about 100 million words!
