Wanjin Lady

Chapter 22 Standoff Between Two Families
The entire windowsill seemed to become bright and lively with the bouquet of flowers and the young lady's smoky-colored clothes.

"The wounds on my back and chest have scabbed over. The doctor said they should be fully healed in less than two weeks."

Ok.

As long as it doesn't affect the marriage.

She didn't want to affect her great cause of creating an heir.

Wen Wan followed up in her heart.

"Are you getting used to living at home? Has your father given you any trouble?"

Zhao Heng shook his head, as if in his opinion, Old Man Wen’s difficulties were not a big deal.

He understands.

The unknown young man became his son-in-law, and the father-in-law would definitely give him a warning to establish his authority. He was mentally prepared for the difficult life of a son-in-law.

"Grandpa Wen dotes on you very much." Zhao Heng said with a smile. His face, which had lost too much blood a few days ago, was now moisturized and looked even more rosy. "Today, Grandpa suggested that I change my surname to Wen. He even chose a name for me--"

Wenwan raised her eyebrows.

It’s over.

Don't be prepared for this move from Father Wen.

Old Man Wen is being a bit hasty. He should at least wait until the wedding is over before talking about this.

What's more, what does it matter what surname the father has when he leaves his son behind?
Wouldn’t it be enough if the child was given the surname Wen?
Wen Wan pretended to be angry, "What's going on? Why is Daddy like this? I'll go talk to him."

Zhao Heng grabbed her sleeve, not letting her go. "It's okay. I'm just thinking about it. The old man is still seriously ill, so don't provoke him."

Wenwan sighed.

He said the line that every man would say.

"Husband...you have been wronged."

Of course, when you say this, your attitude must be extremely sincere, and you must not avoid or avert eye contact, so that the other person can feel your helplessness and powerlessness.

She simply took the opportunity to hold the man's hand.

"Don't worry. The status of a son-in-law is just an excuse to put off outsiders. No matter what Daddy says, no matter what outsiders say, after we get married, you and I will be one, respecting and loving each other, helping each other, and never leaving each other, through life, old age, sickness, and death. In short, I have chosen you."

Sure enough, the handsome man was made to laugh by her.

Zhao Heng discovered another characteristic of Wen Wan.

This little girl... looks weak, but is actually very bold.

Few women in the world would dare to say such "unseemly" words so openly. But she did it so effortlessly and directly, without a trace of shame on her face.

Especially the daily concern and care, the small gifts she brought, the just-right care, and the endless ways to please him, always made Zhao Heng feel that Wenwan was actually a playboy who "walked through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him".

The man also gently held her hand, his eyes dim, "Manager Wen, it's best to remember what I said today. I'm a person who... holds grudges. If you deceive me or lie to me, I won't forgive you."

Wen Wan immediately raised her right hand and said, "I can swear to heaven, if I betray you, I will never marry again and live alone for the rest of my life."

"No nonsense."

Zhao Heng's fingers fell on her lips.

hot.

But at that moment, Zhao Heng pulled his hand away again, smiled and said, "Of course I believe you."

"I brought you a gift when I went out today." Zhao Heng had long seen her put a wooden box on the table. Wen Wan opened it and took out a half-covered silver mask. "Ah Heng, don't let your imagination run wild. The reason I gave you the mask was mainly to protect you."

"What do you mean?" "You once told me that your stepmother and brother are extremely vicious and will not stop until they have your life. Our wedding is in two days. The Wen family will hold a grand banquet. If someone recognizes your face at the banquet, it will bring trouble upon them."

This excuse is impeccable.

The worry in the young lady's eyes did not seem fake.

"I made this mask especially for you. You will wear it when you enter and leave the Wen family for a while. After a year or two, when things have calmed down and the Wen family has overcome the crisis, it won't be too late to remove it."

Since we want to kill the father and keep the son, how can we let more people see Zhao Heng's face?
Wen Wan said in her heart: Brother, I'm sorry.

The truth is... she wants a child, but she doesn't want the child's father.

Zhao Heng's eyes fell on the mask, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart. His light feet finally felt a little more grounded. "It's hard for my wife to think so carefully for me."

He took the mask and motioned Wen Wan to put it on him, and Wen Wan obeyed.

The mask was light, just enough to cover the upper half of his face. The young lady leaned forward and gently combed a strand of hair from his forehead. Zhao Heng could clearly smell her scent.

It is a refreshing gardenia.

Clean, light and gentle.

This is a gentle taste.

The afternoon sun shines through the window, slanting down on the intertwined figures of the two people.

Anyone who sees them will praise them and say they are a perfect match.

Just as they were being affectionate with each other, Wen Wan was hesitating whether to be bolder and hold Zhao Heng's hand and hug him so that he could adapt to the role of a husband as quickly as possible, when there was a commotion in the front yard.

Faintly hearing the voices of the Qi family, Wen Wan had to give up the fleeting obscene thought. She patted Zhao Heng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You better take a good rest. The jackals, tigers and leopards I mentioned yesterday are here."

Zhao Heng was very worried. "I'll go with you to meet them."

Wen Wan refused, "Just take good care of your injuries. Don't miss the important event of your wedding night."

This sentence made Zhao Heng blush.

In the front yard, the Qi family was having a huge fight with the Wen family's servants.

Wen Wan listened for a while from a distance. It turned out that the Qi family came to visit Old Man Wen as relatives, but they saw the Wen family decorated with lights and heard the servants talking about a son-in-law named Zhao.

The Qi family refused to believe that the cooked duck had flown away, so they started arguing with the servants and were now heading towards Old Man Wen to ask for an explanation.

Wen Wan sneered in her heart.

And you dare to ask them for an explanation.

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Old Man Wen's health has been improving in the past few days. She was afraid that the Qi family would make Old Man Wen angry and hurt himself, so she could only quicken her pace to stop them.

Qi Lanting thought he was very calm, but now he was extremely anxious. When he saw Wen Wan, he ignored the servants in the yard and started to criticize her: "Wan girl, this marriage has been arranged...it's set in stone...how can it be changed?"

Wen Wan stood on the steps, followed by Chen Ma and Hongmei. She waved her hand condescendingly to dismiss the servants in the yard, and then slowly saluted the two of them.

The Qi family is almost all here.

Even his uncle Qi Lanting, who had not appeared last time, showed up, as well as Qi Guili, who was seriously ill and unable to get out of bed.

Wen Wan smiled indifferently, "Aunt, Uncle, the wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. If you're going to give gifts... you're a little early."

Wen Yue was embarrassed. She glanced at the glaring red in the house and said in a displeased tone, "Wanniang, are you really going to marry that kid called Zhao Heng as your son-in-law? When was this marriage decided? How come none of us elders knew about it? I thought..."

"Wenwan's marriage is naturally arranged by matchmakers and parents." With the help of an old servant, Old Man Wen slowly walked towards the main hall. Compared to the last time the two siblings met, Wen Weiming's face was rosy. Apart from still being thin, he did not look like the elders had said he was about to die.
