Wanjin Lady

Chapter 8 Transfer of Property
Thinking back to the harsh words Wen Wan had said to her uncle at noon, her anger turned into panic. "Since you knew the Qi family's intentions, why did you still say such a harsh word about getting married in half a month?"

When Aunt Liu thought about how she had been searching the city for tailors and embroiderers today, telling everyone about Wen Wan's marriage, and how most of Ping County already knew that Miss Wen was getting married in two weeks—

Concubine Liu slumped down onto the stool, her eyes filled with panic. "It's over, it's over. In half a month...who are you going to marry?"

Wen Wan's attitude was completely different from hers. "Don't worry. There's still half a month left. It's enough time for me, Wen Wan, to find a son-in-law. I don't believe that in such a big county like Ping County, we can't find a man willing to marry into the family."

"Yes, yes!" Aunt Liu was also provoked by her and clenched her fists. "There are so many men in the world. If Qi Guili is gone, there is still Zhao Guili. Even if I have to snatch one away... I will snatch one for you."

The more Concubine Liu spoke, the more she felt that this method would work. Her eyes were glowing green. "I'll go back and ask my father and a few of my brothers to go up the mountain to rob people tomorrow. I know there's a hunter in the West Mountain. He has a handsome face, but he has a blind mother and can't find a wife. I'll kidnap him tomorrow from the mountain—"

"Wait a minute, Aunt. I have other important things for you to do." Wen Wan knocked on the soft paper on the table that was covered with words, and slowly pushed the paper towards Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu looked at it again and again, and then she saw that Wen Wan was silent for a long time, pretending to be profound, and she became annoyed. "What's wrong? This character recognizes me, but I don't recognize it. What's written on it?"

Oh, I forgot that Aunt Liu can’t read.

"This is the letter of release from concubinehood." Before Concubine Liu could start yelling, Wen Wan took the initiative to hold her shoulder. "I'll give you another three hundred taels of silver. There's a small courtyard in the south of the city, big enough for five or six people to live in. I'll transfer it to your name. Tell everyone that you've worked hard to give birth to Wen Jing for the Wen family. Once the letter of release from concubinehood is filed with the government, you'll be a legitimate citizen. Those elders of the Wen family won't be able to take a single cent from you."

Aunt Liu was initially filled with resentment, but gradually she began to understand the meaning behind it.

Isn't this just entrusting half of the Wen family's empire to her, Liu Yiyi?

She looked at the girl's smooth jawline and eyes that flashed like dark fire, and was secretly surprised in her heart: When did Miss Wen have such powerful means?
"If we really reach the end of our rope, you and I won't be so passive, and we'll have the capital to make a comeback in the future. If we can get through this crisis safely, regardless of whether Dad can survive or not, in the future... I will recognize Aunt as my mother. When the time comes, I will invite Aunt back to the Wen family with great fanfare and provide for her until the end of her life."

Wen Wan believed that this was the best condition she could give to Concubine Liu.

The original owner's mother had been dead for more than ten years, and Aunt Liu had been with Old Man Wen for ten years. Wen Wan trusted Aunt Liu, but was not willing to believe her completely.

This is also the reason why only three hundred taels were given to Concubine Liu.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

People's hearts are treacherous and we must be on guard.

But when Aunt Liu heard that "Wen Weiming" might die, her eyes suddenly turned red and her tone became bitter, "If your father dies, what's the point of me being the legal wife..."

She glanced at Wen Wan with red eyes again, "You are his daughter. No matter what you think of me, no matter whether you recognize me or not, I will never abandon you."

Wenwan's heart felt like it was stabbed by someone.

She was grateful to God for giving her a new life, so she tried hard to integrate into this dynasty.

But only at this moment, looking at Aunt Liu's red and swollen eyes, did Wen Wan feel as if she had really found a home in this world.

Aunt Liu is a pure love warrior.

The pure love warrior killed her without leaving a trace of her in just two sentences, and she had to sit up and slap herself twice before going to bed.

hateful.

She actually used tricks on the Pure Love Warrior.

Wen Wan's lips curled up awkwardly, and she had to quickly end the topic, "Then I'll have to inconvenience you, Auntie."

Aunt Liu didn't care. "Then what about the hunter from the West Mountain... do you still want him?"

"No." Wen Wan also said the truth, "It's better to be from outside. It's easier to control them because they don't have any foundation."

It would also be more convenient in the future if the father were to pass away and the son be kept.

Of course, she didn't tell this to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu didn't think about it too much. "That's right. It's just that time is short and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find one."

"It's alright, let's keep looking."

The next day, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, Aunt Liu packed ten full boxes and returned home in style.

As soon as Aunt Cui left, Aunt Liu followed closely behind.

Aunt Liu entered the family several years earlier than Aunt Cui, and gave birth to a daughter, so her status was naturally different from Aunt Cui's.

Wen Weiming has not remarried in these years, and Wen Wan is still young, so the entire Wen family is managed by Concubine Liu.

The servants of the Wen family had long been accustomed to Aunt Liu being in charge.

After Aunt Liu left, the servants were even more at a loss.

——The Wen family is really going to collapse.

The servants also began to talk.

——Didn’t you see that both concubines are gone? The master probably won’t survive!
And the bold servants began to spread rumors privately.

Early in the morning, Chen Ma went to Aunt Liu to get the housekeeper's pair of cards back as instructed by Wen Wan, and then gave the cards to Wen Wan. By the way, she sent Wen Jing, who was crying non-stop, to Wen Wan.

Seven-year-old Wen Jing burst into tears. The little girl rushed into her arms as soon as they met, "Sister, my aunt is gone...my aunt is gone...she doesn't want me anymore..."

In fact, Wen Jing is not similar to her sister in her previous life.

Exactly.

They are all called Wen Jing.

Da Wenjing gave up his good life for her and returned to his hometown in the county, spending five years revolving around her.

It seemed as if Wen Wan was the only one left in her world.

Missing you is like a wet rain.

No matter where you go, you always feel wet all over.

Even though Wen Wan was in a different time and space, she could always hear the hoarse voice of Wen Jing crying before she closed her eyes.

Looking at little Wen Jing, Wen Wan seemed to see the younger sister who always followed her around when she was little.

My heart suddenly softened.

Wen Wan squatted down, wiped her tears, and comforted her carefully: "Auntie doesn't want you..."

Changing the subject, "Auntie went to find medicine for Daddy."

Wen Jing was a smart kid. She tugged at the corner of her clothes, tears streaming down her face. "If you're looking for medicine, why did you pack up the boxes? I just went to my aunt's yard and saw that she had moved all her things away... She won't be back... Lan Xin said that my aunt left with Aunt Cui... Wuuuuu..."

Wen Wan lowered her voice and coaxed her, "This is what we're going to tell everyone. The medicine Madam Liu is looking for is only found in one place in the entire Bozhou Prefecture, and many people want it, so we have to go looking for it secretly and not let anyone find out."

Wen Jing held back his tears and looked at her doubtfully.

Wen Wan pinched her sister's cheek and said, "Auntie loves Daddy and Wen Jing so much, she won't abandon you, right?"

Wen Jing believed it, and said "hmm" with a buzzing nose, and her face turned from gloomy to bright.

Chen Ma smiled and said, "The eldest lady is still a good one. I coaxed her all morning and now she has finally stopped crying."

As soon as the voice fell, Hongmei from the outer corridor came running in anxiously, "Miss, the master has woken up——"
