Wanjin Lady

Chapter 428 Playing with Fire
Liu Yiyi frowned, feeling that this matter was unreliable.

Some time ago, the Japanese attacked the city. My brother-in-law arrested people all over the city and used ruthless means to expose the corpses of the Japanese on the city wall. His methods were ruthless and it seemed that he was not someone who could be easily bullied.

Now, he has secretly included Hun'er in the Wen family's genealogy without the knowledge of his son-in-law. If the truth is revealed one day, how can the entire Wen family exist?

But Wen Weiming was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. No matter what the future would be like, at least the fact that the child had the surname Wen was written in black and white, and that was enough!
What’s more, there is Ruiguo pulp as a royal wine…

"What's the attitude of the tribute wine delegation today?" Wen Weiming thought to himself. The moment the tribute wine delegation arrived in Bozhou, they met Wen Wan. This meant they were definitely leaning towards Wen's wine. And when Wen Wan returned, looking so happy, he became even more certain that Rui Guojiang would become the imperial wine. "Will our Rui Guojiang really become the imperial wine in the future?"

If it really becomes the imperial wine, the Wen family winery can open a koji hall to sell wine yeast. Compared with selling wine, this wine yeast is a very profitable business!

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Cheng's Winery is an established winery with a history of more than ten years. If we want to overthrow them and seize the only quota for the imperial wine, we need the right time, place and people."

Wen Weiming, however, has great confidence in Wen Wan, the profiteer.

As early as when she learned that the Imperial Wine Envoys were coming to Bozhou for an assessment, Wen Wan locked herself in the study and whispered with Hongmei, Zhang Chunhua, Lei Zexin and others for several nights, saying that they were discussing countermeasures.

He could see clearly that there were several unexpected situations and ways to deal with them on Wen Wan's table.

Wen Weiming couldn't help but sigh: I used to think that doing business was a talent, but I never thought that doing business could be the same as studying. Look at Wen Wan doing business, she uses more paper than a scholar!
Liu Yiyi was also very confident about the Imperial Wine. She picked up the thrashing Zhao Zhao and said, "But the Imperial Wine Envoy asked to see you as soon as they entered the city. This is a good sign."

She smiled gently but said nothing.

Wen Weiming, however, was thinking further. "You have to be careful when arranging for the delegation to stay in the courtyard. I'm afraid..." He thought of the deaths of Yuan Wulang and Yuan Liulang, and a chord in his heart was faintly plucked, but he didn't dare to show it. "I'm afraid the Yuan family will do something bad again."

Wen Wan's smile deepened, "I'm just waiting for her to do something bad."

She turned to look at the two of them again, "Dad, don't worry. I've asked General Zhao Heng to help me guard the mansion. As soon as the Yuan family makes a move, we'll catch them in the act."

"That's right. Miss Wen did ask me to quietly guard the courtyard where the delegation is staying."

Inside the Governor's Courtyard, Zhao Heng was about to sneak away with a few of his brothers when he was caught red-handed by Wei Zheng. Without hesitation, Zhao Heng told Wen Wan all about his plan. "Miss Wen suspected that the Yuan family might attack the courtyard, so she asked me to guard it."

"You mean..." Wei Zheng stood in the corridor, his hands behind his back. The moonlight was cold, but it couldn't compare to the coldness in the man's eyes. "Wen Wan privately asked you to... leave your post... and do something for her? Zhao Heng, are you Wen Wan's subordinate, or am I, Wei Zheng's?"

Zhao Heng felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.

wrong.

The Marquis's expression was not right again.

He had to use his clever brain to figure out how he had offended the Marquis again.

Well, as long as it’s about Miss Wen, the Marquis will be moody, and this time it’s most likely because of Miss Wen again!
The Marquis likes Miss Wen, so what's wrong with him being a little attentive to her?!

Zhao Heng licked his lips, his mind racing. "Manager Wen originally wanted to ask you for a favor, but she heard you've been very busy with official duties lately and she couldn't bear to see you work so hard. She also said she felt bad for asking you to take care of such a small matter as the diplomatic mission, so she came to me."

The air seemed to condense little by little, then expand again. Zhao Heng's heart pounded like a drum.

Finally, the voice of the person hidden behind the bamboo curtain came slowly: "Since we are brothers and sisters, why would we bother each other?"

Zhao Heng finally let go of the breath he had been holding.

"Besides, since the delegation has entered Bozhou, it is our duty to protect their safety. Where is the courtyard? Lead the way!"

"This woman is truly vicious!"

In the backyard of the Yuan family, Jia had been imprisoned at home. She sent her servants to investigate what happened today, only to find out that her letter of accusation did not bring Wen Wan down, but instead shot herself in the foot.

Jia was like an ant on the hot pan, pacing anxiously in the room, "Why? Even this can't bring her down?"

"This eldest sister is also a loser! She was the one who revealed this to me, and now that it's exposed, she blames me! Oh, it wasn't her son who died, so of course she stood by and watched!"

The old woman beside her could only advise her, "Madam, calm down. If this time doesn't work, there's always another time. If you really mess up this tribute wine assessment, you'll be completely finished with the Yuan family!"

"At worst, I can ask Yuan Yidao to divorce me! As long as I can avenge Wu Lang! Even if the entire Yuan family is buried with me, I have nothing to fear!"

After saying this, she hugged Yuan Qi's urn and buried her face in her sleeves, crying bitterly, "Son, your father, that unfaithful man, now stays at Aunt Chun's all day and has long forgotten you! You have a miserable life, having such a heartless father and an incompetent mother. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

The old woman shook her head and sighed, then began to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.

A maid named Xi Que brought a bowl of calming soup. Jia had originally planned to make this girl Wu Lang's concubine, but later it was delayed because of Wu Lang's marriage proposal with a girl from the Sun family. In the end, Yuan Wu Lang died tragically, and this girl was kept on delaying the matter.

"Madam, the tribute wine delegation is now interested in the Wen family winery. Doesn't the delegation have the final say on the outcome of tomorrow's assessment? All we need to do is make Wen Wan stumble tonight, so that the tribute wine delegation dislikes her and disqualifies her for tomorrow's assessment. Everything will be resolved."

Jia wiped away her tears, "But tomorrow is the test..."

"So tonight is our last chance!" Xi Que pointed outside. "As long as we deal with Wen Wan and win back the tribute wine brand for the Yuan family, who in this family will dare to look down on Madam?"

Jia's mind suddenly became clear. "That's right. As long as there's no peace tonight, Wen Wan won't be eligible to drink tribute wine! The eldest sister and the others will only thank me! Go, call Chen Si from the front yard!"

"coming!"

Outside the courtyard of the tribute wine delegation, a figure hurried past, and soon a wisp of green smoke was seen rising.

Wei Zheng, who was waiting not far away, was the first to see the green smoke. Zhao Heng beside him was about to take action almost immediately, but Wei Zheng stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, wait until it starts burning."

Zhao Heng was puzzled, but he did not move his troops.

After an incense stick of time, the smoke dissipated. Wei Zheng was very dissatisfied, "Capture him first! Add some more wood to make the fire burn more vigorously!"
