Wanjin Lady

Chapter 395 Jiaofang Division

"My Lord, I have no experience in this area. If I need to smooth things over, who should I contact? Would this be considered illegal? How can I avoid giving others a reason to criticize me?"

Wei Zheng calmly shifted his shoulders half an inch, "You're asking me?"

"what."

Wei Zheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Who am I?"

"You are..." Wen Wan suddenly stopped talking. Damn, the mouse asked for directions and ended up at the big cat's door!

Seeing Wen Wan pursed her lips in silence, Wei Zheng's lips curved slowly, "I am your channel. Junior Sister Wen, instead of searching everywhere for someone to help you, why not come to me?"

Wen Wan was a little skeptical. Wei Zheng was known for his ruthless tactics, so she tentatively asked, "Then... Senior Brother Wei, can you help me?"

"Every country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. Think about the innocent people who were killed in the city that night. Didn't they have any close friends or relatives?"

Wen Wan's eyes were bright. "I can't change what you believe is justice, so I can only seek my own path. In my opinion, Sun Qunfang deserves death, but Sun Lanzhi... deserves to be saved. Crime, responsibility, and punishment should be adapted to each other. Interconnection and mutual restraint are the core logic of criminal law. This should be the government's business, but..."

Suddenly, Wen Wan sighed heavily again.

Wei Zheng didn't even know what she was sighing about. She seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction and anger towards the world, but she always carefully hid it.

"Forget it, just treat it as nonsense." Wen Wan smiled. "I won't ask the Marquis for help on this matter. I will find a way myself. If the Marquis finds out anything, please be kind enough to help me. It's late, Hongmei and I will go back first."

Wen Wan bowed slightly as a farewell.

Then turned around.

Pomegranate ribbons fluttered in the air, and a ribbon accidentally brushed against Wei Zheng's fingers, making him feel itchy, as if he instantly carried the unique fragrance of a woman.

The autumn wind may be unintentional.

But it really confuses people's minds.

He looked at the young lady's back and suddenly felt that the moon above her head looked bigger than before, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers on this street had never been so strong.

At this moment, he suddenly regained consciousness, and the mountain range that was previously shrouded in fog and mist now showed a clear corner in the night.

Oh.

It turns out that he has already been very fond of Wen Wan...

————————————————-——————

The people in the Red Mansion clearly sensed the crisis.

At dawn that day, in the bright autumn light, the outline of a small building appeared across the road.

As autumn deepened and the weather turned colder, Hong Meiba stood at the door, watching the construction team coming in and out across the street, listening to the knocking and banging sounds coming from inside. She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and hurriedly climbed the stairs to the corner of the second floor, which was Wenwan's unique reception room.

Zhao Zhao and Hun Ge'er had already begun to speak, and the Wen residence was bustling from morning till night, so Wen Wan had to move to the Red Building to work. Hong Mei pushed open the door to the side room on the second floor and saw Wen Wan scratching her head over the story book that everyone in the Wen family had written on the table.

This collection includes Chen Ma's incestuous relationships series, Jiang Wet Nurse's rural adultery series, Liu Yiyi's domineering fifty-year-old man falling in love with the housekeeper's wife series, Hongmei's female protagonist series of beating up scumbags and starting her own business, and Wen Wan's domineering CEO falling in love with a naive and innocent girl series... Among all these story outlines, it is surprisingly pure and unpretentious, truly like using ten cannons to kill a mosquito.

"Miss, I've found out that the restaurant across the street is just like ours!" Hongmei was worried. "He must be coming for our house!"

"Do you know whose property it is?"

"They said it was a young lady named Wang, but I asked around and found that there are more than a dozen prominent families with the surname Wang in Bozhou City alone, and I can't seem to match her up."

Wen Wan looked up from her pair of sloppy notebooks. "Since they chose to open a restaurant across from the Red Mansion, they definitely won't let us get to the bottom of it so easily." She spread her arms and stretched. "I was saying... it's been so quiet this past month, with no one worth fighting. So they were waiting for me here."

"Don't panic. If an enemy comes, we'll fight him. If a flood comes, we'll block it with earth. By the way, what day is it today?"

Hongmei laughed at her for not knowing the passage of time in the mountains, "My dear girl, you are so busy that you are confused! Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month!"

"The ninth day of the first lunar month!" Wen Wan hurriedly stood up and put on the coat hanging on the wooden yoke. "I have to send Lanzhi off today!"

The eldest lady of the Sun family!
Hongmei's face changed slightly, and she slapped her head in annoyance. Today was the day when the nanny from the Music Bureau came to take away the women of the Sun family!
The imperial court's decree was issued within half a month. In order to cover up the illegal lending and making money, Sun Qunfang colluded with the Japanese to attack the city. The evidence of his crime was conclusive. All male members of his family were beheaded, and female members under the age of fifteen were sent to the Jiaofangsi. The other female members were exiled to the north.

When Wen Wan arrived at the prison, the Jiaofang Envoy was just processing the handover documents. The two Sun sisters had already barely washed up and were waiting to be taken away. When Sun Lanzhi saw Wen Wan, she held back her tears and said, "Sister Wen——"

Wen Wan straightened her dress and, while the music envoy was signing, she grabbed a bag of silver and quietly put it on her waist. "Mammy, you've been tired from the journey. Have a cup of tea on the way and walk slowly. Don't get tired."

The Music Bureau Envoy was a skilled musician, so she naturally saw that Wen Wan was coming for the Sun family girl. She secretly weighed the weight of the purse, and her smile towards Wen Wan became more sincere. "It's still early, let's set off when it's a little brighter! If Madam wants to talk to the sisters, she'd better hurry!"

This is to leave time for Wen Wan!
Wen Wan quickly gave purses to the remaining escort personnel. Several people praised her for being sensible. Wen Wan finally folded a few silver bills into a small piece and stuffed it into Sun Lanzhi's hand.

Sun Lanzhi refused to take it and forced it back at her, "Sister Wen, don't waste your money." She lowered her voice again, "The Jiaofangsi is very strict. I've already washed myself once. I have to wash myself again when I get there. I'm not allowed to bring any private goods. You're doing the Jiaofangsi a disservice by giving it to me."

Sun Lanzhi was dressed in white, looking incredibly thin, with her arms wrapped in black veil, mourning for her father. She was so frail that she could barely bear the weight of her clothes, and I felt pity for her.

In just one month, she went from a noble lady to a prisoner and experienced all the ups and downs of life.

She took Wen Wan's hand and said, "Sister Wen, thank you for coming to see me and for planning for me. It's worth dying for to have a friend like you in this life."

Wen Wan wiped her tears and said, "Don't die. Live well, there is always hope."

The Jiaofangsi cannot redeem her easily. Perhaps because she is too old, she can be pardoned by His Majesty.

"No matter which of you two sisters comes out first, come to Bozhou to find me. From now on, this place will be your home."

Sun Lanxin hugged her sister and cried non-stop. She was too young and didn't know what it meant to be in the Jiaofangsi. She only knew that her father was dead, her mother was taken away, and her grandmother committed suicide in prison. Her family was in shattered pieces, and now she had to follow her sister to Kyoto.

My sister said: No one will be able to protect them from now on.

You have to rely on yourself for everything from now on.

Sun Lanzhi patted her sister's head. "Come on, let's kowtow to Sister Wen." She then went on to explain to Sun Lanxin, "At this time, only Sister Wen is fearless and dares to support you and me. Lanxin, you must always remember this kindness, understand?"

Sun Lanxin nodded ignorantly, and followed her sister to kneel down and kowtow to Wen Wan.

Wen Wan's eyes were red, and she quickly helped them up, "I'll take you out of the city."
