Wanjin Lady

Chapter 387 Hostility
She smiled gently, "Thank you, my Lord."

"Has the Jia family of the Yuan family caused you any trouble these days?"

"I can still handle it." The young lady was obviously very proud when she said this. Her eyebrows curved like a child who couldn't wait to show off her trophy to others. She couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. "Master Yuan San lost his beloved son. To eliminate the bad karma and pray for a smooth life, he took his whole family to the temple on the mountain to pray to Buddha."

"Hey." Wen Wan laughed and deliberately moved closer. The fragrance suddenly filled Wei Zheng's nose. Wei Zheng felt tingling on the side of his body that was close to Wen Wan.

The young lady was completely unaware of his strangeness and boasted in a low voice, "Before Aunt Chun left, I deliberately sought out a famous doctor to prescribe a prescription for recuperation and rejuvenation for her, hoping to restore the youthful vitality of the Third Master Yuan and bring more children to the Third Branch of the Yuan Family."

Wei Zheng thought about it for a moment and knew what Wen Wan was planning.

"In this case, Jia Shi will surely be too busy dealing with Concubine Chun to care about you."

Of course, Wen Wan did not mention Yuan Liulang.

Naturally, she would not say that she and Aunt Chun had secretly reached a cooperation.

"But this isn't a long-term solution." Wei Zheng saw clearly what was happening. As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, a hint of murderous intent lingering in the corners of his eyes. "Jia has already determined that you are the murderer. She will not give up on your enemy."

"When water comes, we block it with earth; when enemies come, we fight them with our generals." The young lady's voice was very firm, with the calmness of a mastermind. "Besides... I'm not a pushover."

The flames in the sky gradually died down.

Wen Wan knew that when the sky turned bright, countless people in the city would have lost their heads.

This moment of peace...is also stolen.

Wei Zheng seemed to be running out of energy, and his steps became slower and slower after walking for a while. Wen Wan was puzzled when she heard him softly say, "Walk slower."

Wen Wan was annoyed with him, "My Lord, you don't take care of yourself. Since you're injured, you should just lie down in bed. I can walk these two steps back by myself. But you are a person who insists on what you say, has a strong personality, and won't listen to advice. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the queen in the palace."

Seeing the concerned tone and worried eyes, Wei Zheng's heart was moved, as if he was wrapped in thousands of silk threads, each thread was entangled and pulled, making his heart numb.

The string in my head... snapped and seemed to break at once.

Reason is like a lingering smoke and phantom.

The man's lips slowly curved up, his voice filled with cautious probing, "Junior Sister Wen...are you concerned about me? You—"

Wen Wan glanced at him, feeling very disappointed. "Since you call me Brother, how can I not care about you? You have saved my life many times and have always taken good care of me. How can I remain indifferent? My heart is not made of stone!"

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister."

When he followed Liu Guizhou, he was trapped in a bunker with enemies on all sides. He was stabbed in the chest and was bleeding profusely. Hou Ji and others carried him everywhere to find a doctor, but there was no response. He thought he would die on the stone mountain.

What was he thinking at that time?

He was very sorry.

Unfortunately, I never found my father's whereabouts.

It’s a pity...I didn’t say goodbye to Wen Wan properly before leaving.

Unfortunately... he fled in a hurry like a coward, unable to face his own heart.

But now, he roughly sorted out his own thoughts, but he didn't know Wenwan's attitude.

He only hoped that the road tonight would be... longer and the pace... slower.

Very abrupt.

The young woman's voice rang out again. She was carrying the lantern, and the wind was strong, causing her clothes to flutter. She tilted her head slightly to look at him, the firelight falling on half of her profile, making her look like a dream.

"The Marquis not only saved my life," the young lady smiled calmly, "but also saved Miss Xu's life."

Wei Zheng frowned.

This is the second time I heard the words "Miss Xu" tonight.

There was a hint of gloating in the young lady's voice, but there was anger in her eyes. The upper half of her face was smiling, but her lips were slightly pursed. This made it impossible for Wei Zheng, who was always good at observing people's expressions, to get the correct information from their facial expressions.

"How did the Marquis save Miss Xu?"

"I think Miss Xu seems to have fallen in love with the Marquis at first sight. Could it be that the Marquis is also about to get married?"

"Also?" Wei Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Who else is about to have good news?"

Wen Wan nodded, indicating the direction of the Yuan family in Xicheng. "Cheng Yunzhang and Sun Lanzhi. The marriage between the two families has been decided."

Wei Zheng's expression froze, his gaze darting to the young woman's face, as if trying to discern the truth from her expression. But Wen Wan's lips remained perpetually twitching with a smile, showing no trace of regret at all. It was clear... Cheng Yunzhang was completely one-sidedly attracted to Wen Wan.

Right.

If Wen Wan really cared about Cheng Yunzhang, she would not have killed Yuan Qi.

She has made her choice.

Between revenge and Cheng Yunzhang, she chose revenge and completely abandoned Cheng Yunzhang.

Haha, you said your heart is not made of stone, but now it seems that it is made of ice!

This young lady seems affectionate, but in fact she has a ruthless side in her bones!
What about him?

What is the difference between him and Cheng Yunzhang?
The young lady stared at him motionlessly with dark eyes, as if she wanted to see him laugh. Wei Zheng's face was uneasy, and his tone was not so pleasant. "When Bingzhou was attacked by the Japanese, I saved Miss Xu's life. Otherwise, we have no intersection."

is it?

And she still calls him "Master Wei" and "Master Wei" affectionately every day!

Wen Wan felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and then she felt that she was inexplicably angry.

She has no name or status, why would she be jealous?
Why should Wei Zheng endure her inexplicable behavior?

See it.

Love brain also has a designated target.

If you don’t get close to Wei Zheng, you won’t have these troubles!

As soon as he thought of this, his mind cleared up a little. Wei Zheng's voice came to his ears: "Don't listen to rumors and believe everything. I have nothing to do with Miss Xu...Even if she has some thoughts, what does it have to do with me? I have saved so many young ladies. Do I have to marry every one of them?"

These words are a bit sarcastic, and it is hard to imagine them coming from the mouth of a figurine.

Somehow, the atmosphere became a little tense, and both of them remained silent.

Finally, they arrived in front of the Wen family's residence. Wen Wan was about to knock on the door, but Chen Xiaochun had already opened it. He was worried and had obviously been waiting until now without sleeping. He was relieved when he saw Wen Wan coming back. "Miss Wen, you are finally back! I was so worried! If you don't come back, I will go to the Governor's Office to look for you."

The concern in his tone was genuine.

Wei Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked the man up and down. Hmm, I've never seen him before! He's not a winery employee either!
He called her "Miss Wen" affectionately!

The Governor's Office is the safest place. Is it his turn to worry about it?
Wei Zheng stepped into the Wen residence, then turned to look at Wen Wan with an impeccable smile. "I told you long ago that you should buy two more servants. This one is quite good. He looks like a martial artist, so he'd be great at guarding the house!"
