Wanjin Lady

Chapter 83 Threatening Wen Jing
Wen Jing didn't hide it from her. Under the strict questioning of several adults, she finally said, "An Zhongrong forced it on me! He said the Wen family was in his favor, and he treated me to candy before he left for Guangji County!"

Gan.

It turns out that the one whose house was robbed was not Old Man Wen, but her, Wen Wan!
Some bad boys stole things right under her nose!

Wen Wan was very angry that her sister had been seduced away with such a small gift, and she scolded her sternly, "If a boy gives you something in the future, you are not allowed to accept it. I will give you more pocket money."

Wen Jing looked up and asked her innocently, "Why? It's not like I asked for it. He gave it to me willingly. I can't just throw all these coins away."

There was a hint of grievance in his tone.

Wen Wan was actually speechless after being asked this question.

Yes. Why are you so angry about Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai?
Wen Wan was speechless, and Chen Ma immediately threatened Wen Jing, "If a girl takes a boy's things, it will be considered indecent, and in serious cases, she will be thrown into a pig cage!"

Wen Jing asked again: "Then why not put the man in the pig cage? The man offered it on his own initiative, why only put the woman in it?"

have to.

KO Chen Ma with one sentence.

Wen Wan uses her ultimate move: I’ll let your mother deal with you, little brat!
Wen Wan brought Wen Jing into the yard.

The small yard was kept in good order by Aunt Liu. There were clothes hanging in the yard, the water tank under the corridor was full of water, firewood was neatly stacked in the corner, and flowers and plants were planted on the edge of the yard, full of life.

A person as energetic as Aunt Liu can make a good life no matter where she is.

Even in this situation, her radiant face showed no sign of the hardships she had endured in recent days.

That's right.

No matter what, life must go on.

Wen Jing rushed over first and called her mother happily.

Logically, Wen Jing should call Liu Yiyi "Auntie", but the Wen family doesn't have so many rules. Wen Jing calls Liu Yiyi "Mother" or "Niang", and Father Wen never objects.

"Miss! Wen Jing!" Aunt Liu was very happy to see them coming, and quickly led them into the house. The house was tidy, and there was a charming orchid on the windowsill, which complemented Aunt Liu's appearance.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wen Wan asked Chen Ma to take Wen Jing out and brainwash the little kid, telling her not to easily accept things from little boys.

The Chen Dynasty was not like modern society. If Wen Jing really got the reputation of "private transactions", she would never be able to wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Lu Ping volunteered, "Miss, I'll go. I'm best at winning people over with virtue."

Lu Ping walked out quietly, holding the small cannonball.

Soon, Wen Wan heard Lu Ping's devilish voice.

Lu Ping tells the story of a woman who had a difficult childbirth but her husband was still having an affair with his concubine. She then tells the story of a young wife who fell into the water and was rescued, and had to get married, but was tortured to death by her mother-in-law. She also tells the story of a woman who waited for her husband who was in the army for several years, but her husband brought back a green tea concubine who competed for his favor with his wife. The parents-in-law in the family sided with the concubine, and they conspired to steal the woman's dowry and divorced her.

Finally, the story goes that a decent woman lost a handkerchief that was picked up by a lame man. Her stepmother then accused her of "private dealing" and forced her to marry the lame man. After the marriage, the woman was treated like a slave, living a life worse than that of pigs and dogs, and eventually died in the snow.

God knows where Lu Ping came up with all these melodramatic stories about motherhood!

Wen Jing was so frightened after hearing this that she burst into tears and cried out, "I won't dare to do this again! I won't get married! I will never get married in my life!"

Aunt Liu and Wen Wan looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Wen Wan coughed softly and explained, "Before Mei Qing's son left, he gave Wen Jing a few dozen copper coins. This girl secretly took them and bought some candy."

Aunt Liu's almond-shaped eyes flashed with anger, and she pretended to look for a weapon to stir-fry bamboo shoots and shredded pork. "This damn girl!"

She bent down and looked around, but couldn't find the feather duster, so she had no choice but to give up. Seeing that the two had something to say, Hongmei pushed open the door and led Lüping and Wenjing away.

Aunt Liu poured Wen Wan a bowl of hot tea and straightened her clothes. Perhaps she knew the purpose of Wen Wan's visit and was visibly nervous.

Wen Wan sighed softly in her heart.

If Zhao Heng hadn't reminded her, she would have almost fallen into Aunt Liu's trap.

Zhao Heng said that the Wen family carriage was conspicuous, and if Concubine Liu really wanted to see a man, she would not have completely avoided them. Concubine Liu probably deliberately let them see it to put pressure on Old Man Wen and urge him to make a decision as soon as possible.

Wen Wan understood Aunt Liu's anxiety and would not underestimate her methods, but... in the end, it was Old Man Wen who let her down.

"Auntie." Wen Wan put down the tea bowl and spoke in a steady tone, as if she had already made a decision. "The manager in Yangcheng is embezzling money. He might be the next Shi Jinquan. Auntie, are you willing to go and help me deal with this person?"

Aunt Liu's face turned pale instantly!
Her body swayed, her heart felt weak, and she almost couldn't sit still!

In just a moment, my eyes turned red!
Chen Ma poked Wen Wan in the back and quickly tried to make amends for her: "Madam Liu, the young lady is not chasing you away."

Wen Wan realized it later and added, "Yes. If you can accomplish this, the position of the head of the Yang County Tavern will be yours. All treatment will be the same as other tavern heads."

"I understand." Aunt Liu bit her lower lip, her shoulders tense, and she looked like she was about to cry. "The young lady wouldn't chase me away. Someone else is chasing me away."

Ah, this...

Wen Wan did not explain for Old Man Wen.

Essentially speaking, it was really that Old Man Wen couldn't tolerate Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu lost the bet. She lost to the White Moonlight in Old Man Wen's heart. And she did it without leaving any way out, recklessly gambling everything.

Then losing everything is an inevitable outcome.

A bitter and astringent smile appeared on Aunt Liu's face. She stood up anxiously, then sat down dejectedly, her heart as if being tormented on a low fire.

Wen Wan and Chen Ma were silent. The room was completely silent.

From afar, I could hear the voices of Hongmei and Luping teasing Wenjing.

The room was a little dark, and Aunt Liu's face... was as pale as a ghost.

At this moment, Wen Wan didn't know what Aunt Liu was thinking.

However, she made up her mind: she would never let herself fall into the situation of Aunt Liu in this life.

She will never do anything that requires high investment, low output and high risk.

In a short while, Aunt Liu's complexion improved, and she looked like she had just been pulled out of bitter water. Her whole body was filled with misery. In the past, Aunt Liu dared to love, hate, and kill decisively, but at this moment, there was confusion and uneasiness in the depths of her eyes.

Aunt Liu gambled lavishly, but she never considered her options after losing.

She subconsciously looked at Chen Ma, "Sister, what do you think I should do?"

Aunt Liu and Aunt Chen have a deep relationship and are considered to be the main members of the Wen family's harem, with a firm revolutionary comradeship.

Chen Ma's reasoning was simple, "Even if you didn't get the person, you should at least get some money. Don't leave the Wen family empty-handed!"

Aunt Chen was genuinely concerned about Aunt Liu, so her words were particularly blunt.
