Wanjin Lady

Chapter 1 Breaking in
It was the sweltering heat of July.

The four-story house of the Wen family in Ping County was eerily quiet.

The servants serving in the yard all had worried expressions on their faces and sat respectfully to one side.

It was because Wen Weiming, the head of the Wen family, had been bedridden for six months. Last night, Master Wen's face had darkened, and he seemed to be on his last legs.

I've been holding my breath for the past few days or so.

All matters in the family, big and small, were handled by Wenwan, the eldest daughter who had just celebrated her coming-of-age ceremony.

Wenwan, as her name suggests, is gentle and charming, with a beautiful appearance and a skin as white as ice.

It is rumored in Ping County that whoever marries a girl from the Wen family will receive the Wen family's vast estate as a dowry. With a beauty in his arms and luxurious food, who wouldn't be tempted?

In the past half month, people who came to visit the patient, inquire about news, and act as matchmakers almost broke down the threshold of the Wen family.

Rumors were rife, but the person involved turned a blind eye and instead locked herself in her boudoir, not being seen for a whole day.

Early in the morning, the eldest lady ordered people to carry a half-heap of legal documents into the house, such as "Fa Jing", "Kaihuang Law", "Chen Law Commentary", "Chen Criminal Code", etc. Once they were inside, there was no sound, and even lunch was brought to the door by servants.

"If this continues, the young lady will be the first to collapse before the master!"

The food delivery lady, Chen Ma, shook her head and sighed, her face filled with anxiety. "Ever since the eldest daughter fell seriously ill a few days ago, she's been eating even less these past two days. Even the chicks we raise in the backyard eat more than she does!"

Lu Ping glanced at the half-empty plate and frowned slightly.

The young lady ate two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, two side dishes, and a dish of spicy fried meat. Which little chicken can eat so much?

However, Lu Ping has long been accustomed to Chen Ma's double standards.

In a flash, Mother Chen saw Hongmei, the maidservant beside Wen Wan, running anxiously, "Mother Chen, it's bad... it's... it's happening again!"

"Who's here again?" Aunt Chen's eyelids jumped. "Debt collector? Debt collector? Matchmaker? Or is it the elders of the Wen family who are here to take over the house?"

The maid was out of breath, her face flushed red from running, "Wen family...eldest uncle!"

Chen Ma's eyes went dark, and her heart sank. "Why is that old bastard here again? He's been here five or six times in the past two weeks. Is he so stupid that he can't sit still in his own house?"

"My dear Aunt Chen, stop pissing and farting! The uncle is almost at the outer corridor and is about to break into the inner courtyard! Go and tell the young lady—"

Hongmei immediately told Chen Ma the details of the situation, and Chen Ma took long steps and ran quickly into the inner courtyard. She used a long pole to prop up the window. The sun was shining brightly, and the wind blew through the courtyard, blowing up the delicate pink clothes of the person leaning against the window.

The young lady leaning against the railing had healthy and beautiful black hair, which was tied up with a jade hairpin, her cheeks were as white as jade, and her eyebrows and eyes were clear and bright.

Looking down, the small and upright nose is like a petal.

Further down, the lips are full and cherry-colored.

The girl is... so pretty.

Aunt Chen couldn't help but slow down her pace, for fear of disturbing the beautiful woman reading by the window.

The beauty spoke first across the windowsill, "Auntie Chen, are the debt collectors here again?"

"No!" Aunt Chen said anxiously, "It's that uncle from the Wen family who's here again!"

The room was quiet for a moment, and Aunt Chen could only hear the rustling of books.

"Is that the old fellow who grabbed my father's hand and forced him to adopt his mentally retarded grandson?"

Well, someone inside the house added, "That rat demon with a bald spot on his forehead and a hairless circle in the middle of his head?"

"Miss! Don't say that..." Aunt Chen advised earnestly, "A mouse's life is also a life."

Wen Wan sighed and rubbed her temples, "So what does the rat demon want to do this time?"

"What else can we do? Ever since the master fell ill, this old man has always come to ask for adoption. That green bean has his eyes fixed on our house."

Wen Wan closed the book, stood up, took down the window sill support and walked out, "Ask the servants to hold him back. Daddy finally fell asleep, don't disturb him."

Chen Ma immediately followed, "Don't worry, Miss, Concubine Liu has already gone ahead to lead the charge."

Aunt Liu can be called the gatekeeper of the Wen family. When she gets mad, even the dogs passing by on the road will get slapped twice.

It would be a good idea to let Aunt Liu go and meet this rat demon first...

But Wen Wan was still uneasy, "How many people came this time?"

"There were two or three women and a child."

Wen Wan frowned slightly. In the past, this uncle always came alone, but today he brought helpers with him.

Aunt Liu is probably in a bad situation.

She quickened her pace and instructed Chen Ma, "Quick, go get Mr. Tu to bring his weapons to the front hall."

Meanwhile, in the main hall, the eldest uncle's exasperated voice could be heard from the outer courtyard. "I'm Wen Weiming's legitimate elder, why won't you let me see him?"

The servants stopped him and said, "Master, we drank medicine at noon and just went to bed. It's really not appropriate for us to see guests!"

"I'm his uncle, how can I be considered a guest?" The eldest uncle flicked his sleeves and walked straight in, ignoring everyone's dissuasion. "Quickly get out of the way, I'm here today for a serious matter. If you delay, when Second Wen kicks his legs and goes to the underworld, everything will be too late -"

As soon as the words fell, a cute female voice was heard.

"Which blind bastard is cursing my master?" Concubine Liu, dressed in white and wearing a transparent jade hairpin, stood in the corridor, her eyes fixed on my uncle's face with a haughty look. "Oh, it's my uncle, what evil wind brings you here?"

The eldest uncle was furious the moment he saw Concubine Liu. Although Concubine Liu was a concubine, Wen Lao Er's first wife had died early, and this concubine was the only one in charge of the household.

The Wen family was a wealthy and powerful family, and even a hair plucking from it was thicker than his waist. It was only natural for the Second Wen to help his uncle, but Aunt Liu couldn't stand it and always made some sarcastic remarks.

Especially regarding the adoption, Aunt Liu was doing bad things overtly and covertly, causing the matter to be delayed again and again, and it seemed that Wen Weiming was about to be dragged to death.

If I don't deal with this concubine Liu, I'm afraid my grandson won't be able to be adopted into the Wen family.

Then wouldn’t the Wen family’s immense wealth…fall into the hands of others?
We must not let the duck that has been caught fly away!

He waved his hand, "Madam Liu, you've arrived just in time. I want to ask, when will it be your turn as a lowly servant to run the Wen family? For all these years, you've been controlling the finances, hiding things from the Second Brother and bullying Wen Wan. The Second Brother has only been ill for a few days, and you dare to yell at him in front of the elders of the Wen family? The Second Brother is a fool who has indulged a little whore like you for many years. Now that he's ill, he can't handle this huge mess, so I'll take care of it!"

Aunt Liu remained unmoved and instead sneered, "Uncle, the Wen family split up a long time ago. You have no right to interfere in our family affairs! If you are sensible today, I will respect you as an elder. If you are not sensible and insist on making trouble at this critical moment, don't blame me, Liu Yiyi, for being rude!"

"Okay, okay, you are really rebellious!" The uncle was so angry that he felt like he was venting his anger. But when he thought of the clan members' dissatisfaction with Liu Yiyi and the private hints of several elders, he became bolder.

The elders of the clan were afraid and did not dare to deal with Liu Yiyi, but he dared!
Looking at the huge Wen family mansion, the uncle became jealous and determined to get rid of Concubine Liu today.

He waved his hand and shouted to the two strong servants behind him, "Catch this little whore, strip her naked and parade her through the streets. I don't believe we can't punish her today!"

"Who dares to touch me?!" Aunt Liu was not afraid of trouble. She glared with her eyes, her hands on her waist like a demon. "Uncle, why are you hiding it? Isn't it just about the adoption? But I also promise you, as long as I, Liu Yiyi, am in the Wen family, don't even think about your grandson who drools everywhere and pees clean being adopted into my family!"

"you--"

This time, the uncle was so angry that his face turned blood red.

What he hated most in his life was others mentioning his grandson's disability.

His voice trembled as he ordered his servant, "Catch her and tear her mouth apart!"

After saying this, the eldest uncle displayed the two spirit tablets held by his wife behind him. "Little whore, look carefully. These are the tablets of my brother and sister-in-law. Last night, they came to me in a dream, saying that you, Liu Yiyi, were harming the second son and forcibly preventing him from being adopted, cutting off his family line. They can't rest in peace in the underworld, and they begged me to come and punish you, bitch, today!"

Aunt Liu's face changed suddenly.

The servants in the flower hall who were about to rush up to help Aunt Liu also stopped in their tracks.

Unexpectedly, this uncle from the Wen family actually quietly took the tablets of the master and the old lady from the ancestral hall—

The eldest uncle smiled sinisterly, "Liu Yiyi, haven't you always dreamed of becoming the second son's legal wife? Today, the tablets of my younger brother and sister-in-law are here. If you dare to resist, I will go to the government and accuse you of being unfilial! I will make sure you never dream of becoming the legal wife in this life!"

When Aunt Liu was distracted, two strong servants sent by her uncle held her shoulders on the left and right, and she was unable to break free in an instant.

The woman who led the group kicked Aunt Liu in the knee. Aunt Liu's knee hit the ground with a bang and her face turned pale in pain!
Seeing the opportunity, the other woman immediately grabbed Aunt Liu's hair from behind and pulled it.

The entire flower hall was filled with Aunt Liu's shrill screams!
And this moment.

——Bang.

There was a loud bang.

The flower stand on the steps fell down with a loud noise and crashed onto the blue brick floor, breaking all the flowers and pots on the ground.

Behind the flower stand was a middle-aged man with a dark face, eight feet tall.

He has a beard, a square face, dark skin, and a fierce look on his face.

The uncle shuddered with fear, his voice stagnant, his steps stilled, "Tu Er, what are you...what are you...doing...are you planning to kill the master?"

A person in pink clothes quickly passed by my uncle.

Before everyone had time to take a closer look, they felt a gust of wind before their eyes, and Wen Wan had already arrived in front of the two strong servants.

--Snapped.

A crisp slapping sound.

The maid was hit by the sudden slap and staggered backward.

"You dare to hit me?"

"You dare to hit me?"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Wen Wan turned her head and saw that Chen Ma had also followed and slapped another maid in the face with a heroic and arrogant look.

well.

Just when she was worried about hitting only one person, Wen Wan, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, was upset. But Chen Ma filled this gap in time.

With a two-pronged approach, each of the two maids received a slap in the face and instantly let go of Aunt Liu.

Aunt Chen immediately helped Aunt Liu up.

The pink-dressed woman stood in the hall, her brows etched, but her tone was calm, "My father just took the medicine and went to sleep, and you guys came here to make a fuss. Are you planning to force my father to death?"

The hall was suddenly filled with a cool and quiet atmosphere.

The servants stood on both sides in silence.

"Big girl...you...what do you mean?" The uncle stepped forward in disbelief. Then, with a roll of his eyes, he spoke with a serious expression, "I know you've been wronged by this little bitch. It was because the elders were negligent in the past and didn't realize how hard it was for you at her hands. Don't be afraid. Today, your uncle will support you."
