Wanjin Lady

Chapter 6 Leaving
Aunt Cui knelt down in front of Wen Wan with a plop, kowtowed sincerely, tears streaming down her face, "Miss, I'm sorry for you, and for the Wen family."

Wen Wan helped Aunt Cui up and said, "If you don't live well, you will be sorry for me and the Wen family."

Aunt Cui hesitantly presented the document she had written to release the concubine.

Wen Wan took out Old Man Wen's seal and stamped it.

The final conclusion.

Aunt Cui is no longer a member of the Wen family.

Soon, Aunt Liu, who was about to go out to kidnap the embroiderer and the tailor, was pulled over by Hongmei.

Concubine Liu was busy with Wen Wan's non-existent marriage. When she entered the room, she saw Concubine Cui hugging Wen Wan and crying loudly. She immediately stepped forward and pushed Concubine Cui aside, standing in front of Wen Wan with caution, "Why are you crying? Why are you crying again? I didn't provoke you this time. Don't even think about complaining to the young lady! I'm telling you, the young lady is not the master. She won't fall for your crying tricks!"

Wen Wan was very upset.

Aunt Liu, is it really okay for you to confess without asking?

Wen Wan had no choice but to explain, "Madam Liu, I've already stamped my release document, allowing Madam Cui to leave the Wen family and make her own living. Go to the account office to withdraw some money, and then find a strong woman to escort her out of Ping County."

"Let me have the letter?" Aunt Liu's face lit up with joy, her voice as cheerful as a broken gong. "Are you leaving the Wen family?"

Hongmei and Luping said they couldn't bear to watch it.

Aunt Liu, isn't your joy too obvious?

So you have been looking forward to Aunt Cui leaving the Wen family for a long time, right?

As if she realized that she had lost her composure, Aunt Liu deliberately lowered her brows and pretended to be sad and questioning, but the upward curve of her lips betrayed her.

This made her whole face look...disconnected.

"Ah, you're leaving..." Aunt Liu flung her handkerchief aside, using precise words to express her reluctance. "Where are you going, Sister Cui? The Wen family is your home, why are you leaving?"

Go, go, go. After she leaves, no one will compete with her for the master.

Wenwan's eyes twitched slightly.

Aunt Cui, on the other hand, looked guilty. "I... I have a cousin in Bozhou. She asked me to go and live with her. I... I..."

Aunt Cui couldn't say what came next.

Madam Liu's face froze for a moment, and for some reason, a fleeting trace of grief flashed through her eyes. But the next moment, she was still smiling. "Oh, that's great. I've been looking forward to you leaving so that the master and I can live together. I didn't expect that my long-cherished wish would come true today. Okay, come with me. I'll get you some money. If you need any help in your room, just let me know. You're leaving tomorrow, right? There's a lot of work to do—"

Live together and fly away together?

Wen Wan did not remind Aunt Liu that Old Man Wen was dying and probably could not fly anymore.

The most urgent task is how to preserve her immense wealth in this damned feudal dynasty.

Wen Wan plunged into the pile of documents again.

——"When both husband and wife die, the successor should be the closest relative and the eldest son."

If both husband and wife die, the stepson can inherit three-quarters of the property and the daughter can inherit one-quarter.

"From now on, if a family is extinct, all its houses, livestock, and wealth, in addition to the merits of funeral arrangements, will be given to any virgin daughters, one-third of which will be given."

The family property was divided into three parts, two of which were added to the family property and one was given to the unmarried woman.

——"All confiscated government farmland will be returned to the Ministry of Revenue, and it is forbidden to recruit civilians to farm it."

For families that have completely lost their entire family, that is, those without children, their land will be handed over to the government and resold.

Wenwan's manuscripts and documents were scattered all over the floor, and the oil lamp on the table was almost burning out, reflecting her bloodshot eyes.

After checking historical books and legal documents, there are only two words in the entire text.

Grab money!

Grab money!

In other words, ideally, she could only keep a maximum of one-third of the family fortune. The rest would all have to go to those toad spirits, rat spirits, and those super-powerful old men in the clan—

This is still an ideal situation.

If the tribesmen unite, they can still take away her only one third.

As the saying goes, imperial power does not extend to the countryside. If the legal provisions on paper are really brought to court, the clan members can make unreasonable demands and turn the law into a piece of waste paper.

Even the elders of the clan could replace Old Man Wen and match her with an old man who was about to die or a drooling idiot.

Wen Wan leaned back straight, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and exhaled heavily.

You have to marry into the family.

You still have to marry into the family.

Otherwise there is no solution to this game.

Wen Wan didn't expect that she would be faced with pressure to get married just a few days after arriving here.

However, the pressure to get married in this dynasty is different from that in the previous life.

In this dynasty, not getting married would really kill you.

She knew she had no ability to change the times, and the only way out was to go with the flow.

Men—

Please God give her a man.

Wen Wan roared inwardly.

She didn't ask for it!
As long as he is a man and his penis can be used, it’s fine!

"Girl, go to bed early, or your eyes will hurt."

Lu Ping came forward to add oil to her lamp and put a thin coat on her. Although it was summer, it was still chilly at night.

Lu Ping bent down to pick up the books on the floor and put them in order. Seeing Wen Wan holding her chin with her hand and a face full of worry, she felt very distressed, but she was not as capable as Hongmei and could not help the young lady at all, so she could only worry with her.

"Don't worry, young lady. If you really have nowhere else to go, I can go out and do some mending and laundry and still be able to support you! At worst, I can do some hard labor at the docks and still not let you starve!"

Wen Wan turned her head and looked at Lu Ping, who had a tense and serious expression on her face. She then looked up and down at her slender body, which was like a willow. She couldn't help but chuckle and pinched Lu Ping's cheek, "Not really. Not really."

Lu Ping lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, a look of embarrassment on her face, "My humble servant is not good at speaking and I don't know how to comfort you. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"No. I just feel that I am very lucky to have you, Hongmei, Aunt Liu, Aunt Chen and the others."

Lu Ping nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Has Aunt Cui finished cleaning up?"

"Everything is settled. Aunt Cui even said goodbye to the master this afternoon. But the master was drowsy the whole time, unable to get up or speak. Aunt Cui was alone in the room crying for half an hour."

"Yeah." Wen Wan didn't show much expression. "It's better to leave. If the Wen family's ship really sinks, whoever can leave is the best."

If I can get one, I can get one.
Lu Ping noticed that the older girl's expression froze.

The brows that had just been furrowed suddenly relaxed.

Wen Wan thought carefully, her eyes brightened, "Lu Ping, go call Aunt Liu."

It was late at night and everyone was asleep, with only the light in Wenwan's room still on.

Ever since Wen Weiming fell ill, Miss Wen, who was less than sixteen years old, had been shouldering the entire Wen family affairs. The lights in her room were often kept on until dawn.

Just as Aunt Liu was about to coax Wen Jing to sleep, Lu Ping suddenly came hurriedly to invite her. As the saying goes, when there is a sick person at home, the most fearful thing is someone knocking on the door late at night. Aunt Liu was only worried that Wen Weiming's condition had worsened, so she put on an outer coat and rushed to Wen Wan's yard.
