Wanjin Lady

Chapter 443 The Truth
"That's what the guys at the winery said." Hou Ji was anxious to find Doctor Zeng, but Wei Zheng stretched out his hand and stopped him with a look.

Thunder rolled by.

The room was as bright as day.

It also illuminated Wei Zheng's pale face.

Hou Ji had already sensed something was wrong. He took two steps forward and helped Wei Zheng up, only to discover that his forehead, face, and neck were all covered in fine beads of sweat. Hou Ji thought to himself, "Oh no!" He had been fine in the afternoon, so why did the Marquis have a high fever again in the evening?

It must be Miss Wen who didn't treat the wound properly!

If what Wei Zheng imagined were really going on, everything that seemed groundless before would suddenly become logical.

Memories came roaring in along with the cold wind.

For example, the shock of Wen Wan and the Wen family when they first met.

For example, two children coincidentally chose his nickname by drawing lots at the same time.

For example, the food Chen Ma gave him at the table always intentionally or unintentionally avoided shrimp, crab and other irritating foods.

For example, Wen Jing asked whether he was her brother-in-law.

and also--

When she fell off the cliff yesterday, Wen Wan entrusted the two children to him.

Was it really because there was no one else to trust at that time?
wrong.

Eyes can't lie. Wen Wan was clearly determined to die at that time. She entrusted the child to him because she trusted him completely, more than anyone else in the world.

Where does this trust come from?

Just because he is her senior brother?
wrong.

It's all such a coincidence.

It's so coincidental that all the scattered clues can only piece together a single answer.

——He is the unlucky son-in-law of the Wen family!

But these are all guesses. Wei Zheng never likes to be ambiguous. He needs the most crucial evidence to connect the whole case together.

Hou Ji's eyes were slightly panicked. He wanted to support Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng couldn't even stand steadily. Sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips were bloodless, and he was sweating profusely as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"My Lord, what happened to you?"

"Go... go... find an embroiderer."

As soon as he finished speaking, fine raindrops began to hit the eaves from afar. The rain became heavier and heavier, mixed with muffled thunder, making it hard to breathe.

Hou Ji looked at the sky outside. It was raining heavily at this hour, and the shops in the city were probably closed.

Wei Zheng's voice gradually became ferocious.

"Go! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

----------------------

The rain came quickly and went away quickly.

The next day was unexpectedly clear and sunny with brilliant clouds, a rare good day.

But...the temperature in the entire Bozhou City dropped sharply overnight, and water turned into ice.

"Second Miss Wen... have you seen this purse?"

On weekdays, the first person to go out is usually not Wen Wan and Hong Mei, but Wen Jing.

On this day, as usual, she had breakfast and went to play with her friends at the other end of the alley. Suddenly, she saw a red sandalwood canopy carriage parked not far from the door. The four corners were covered with brass carvings, and a wind chime was hung on the right corner.

At this moment, a pair of beautiful hands stretched out from the curtain of the carriage, holding a purse with a green bamboo pattern, and small round pearls hanging from the red handle.

Wen Jing recognized that it was Wei Zheng's voice.

She stopped obediently and looked at the hanging purse.

The little girl was small, but she was very cunning. Like her elder sister, she was obsessed with money. "My Lord, why are you asking this?"

Isn’t this my sister’s purse?
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he took out a hundred-yuan banknote and handed it over, "Hush money."

Wen Jing accepted it with a smile and told him everything she knew.

The Marquis is so kind. Just as kind as my brother-in-law.

Her brother-in-law also often gives her pocket money.

"This purse belongs to my elder sister! Where did you find it, sir?"

Wei Zheng's hand trembled slightly. Wen Jing didn't notice the blue veins on the back of his hand at all. She was only focused on folding her pocket money. Well, she had to keep it safe, otherwise her mother would catch her again.

"Did you see clearly?"

Wen Jing raised her eyes, staring at the purse carefully, and said with great certainty, "This is my sister's purse! The bamboo leaves on it are all tied together in pairs. No one would embroider it like this!"

Yes.

Except for his mother, Lady Wei.

In other words, the purse that he lost when he was unconscious is in Wen Wan's hands!

What evidence is missing.

Zhao Heng’s pass is missing.

Otherwise, the Wen family would never mistake him for Zhao Heng!

Wei Zheng lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw Wen Jing holding the bamboo dragonfly in her hand.

The red wings were particularly eye-catching, as they were the one he gave to Zhao Zhao.

Wei Zheng's heart seemed to be tugged at.

All my internal organs were in pain.

Wen Wan has never had him in her heart.

From beginning to end, she only deceived and exploited him.

He wanted to break open her heart and see what it was made of to be so ruthless and cruel.

Wen Jing saw Wei Zheng in the carriage remained silent for a long time. She approached and knocked on the carriage, "My Lord, my sister said you were injured yesterday while saving her. Our whole family is very grateful. Daddy said that after my sister recovers, he will thank you very much——"

The man behind the curtain was silent for a moment.

"She is sick?"

"I caught a cold. The doctor said I'll be able to get out of bed after taking a few doses of medicine."

It rained heavily that night, and the two of them were wet in the jungle for half the night. She had a wound on her leg, so how could she not get sick after returning home?
"That's good."

Wen Jing was stunned. What does "that's good" mean?
Wen Jing watched the man and the carriage gradually disappear into the alley. She always felt that Lord Wei was very strange today, but children did not hide their thoughts. She immediately put the matter behind her and went to play with her friends.

Just a moment later, there was a commotion in the alley, and dozens of armored soldiers rushed into Wen's house, led by General Zhao.

"Wen Wan from the Wen Family Winery is suspected of the murder of Yuan Qi, the fifth son of the Yuan Family. She must be taken away for investigation! No one from the Wen Residence is allowed to enter or leave at will! Anyone who dares to leave the Wen Residence will be treated as an accomplice!"

Wen Wan had just taken some medicine and was lying drowsy on the bed when she was suddenly dragged off the bed. Her legs were unable to support her and she walked out of the room to see her entire family blocked on both sides. Her cheap father and Liu Yiyi were both very anxious and angry. "Girl! The government says you're suspected of murdering Yuan Wulang and they're going to put you in jail! Explain to them quickly that you're not the murderer!"

Wen Wan saw the leader Zhao Heng in a daze. Yamen?

Even if the matter was exposed, Zhao Heng should not have sent people to arrest him.

Not to mention, the soldiers barged into the room at random, carried out large boxes, piled them in the yard, and sealed them.

boom.

There was a crisp sound.

The flower pots on the steps were kicked over and the dirt was scattered all over the ground.

The wet nurse and Chen Ma held Zhaozhao and Hun'er in their arms. The two children seemed to sense uneasiness and couldn't stop crying.

This isn't an investigation, it's clearly a house raid.

Zhao Heng bowed to her and said, "Manager Wen, please come in. Don't make things difficult for me."

"There must be a misunderstanding." Wen Wan did not struggle, allowing the soldiers to put shackles on her. The shackles weighed twenty or thirty pounds, and Wen Wan could not bear it. She was shaky and barely stood firm. "I want to see the Marquis."

"The Marquis said he would come to find Shopkeeper Wen. Now, Shopkeeper Wen, please cooperate with the investigation."

Wen Wan couldn't struggle, "I'll cooperate."
