Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The early morning sunlight, with its unique crispness in September in Liangzhou, shines obliquely into Cheng Wan's study.

Cheng Wan was sitting behind the desk with a piece of paper in his hand.

The paper is new and the ink is not yet dry.

At this moment, the door of the study was gently pushed open, bringing in a brighter gust of cold air.

Gu Yan walked in.

"The servant said you had something to talk to me about." Gu Yan spoke, his low, gentle voice spreading in the quiet study, breaking the tranquility in the morning light.

Cheng Wan did not answer immediately. He stood up, walked around to the desk, and handed the paper in his hand to Gu Yan: "I need your help with something."

Gu Yan glanced at Cheng Wan, whose expression was calm, reached out to take the paper, and lowered his head to read it.

The moment Gu Yan saw the words on the paper clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Awan..."

Cheng Wan nodded, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Look, you finish first."

Gu Yan squeezed the paper with a little force, pursed his lips and lowered his head to read the contents on the paper again.

"A Letter to the Enemy Party"

The world is clear and fair. Although I am a woman, I have great ambitions. I took the exam to show what I have learned and do my best for my country. Now I am lucky enough to pass the exam, but I am hated by you gentlemen. It's ridiculous that you call yourself a real man, but look down on women's participation in politics and act in a shady and mean way.

If you really have the ability to govern the country, you can compete with me openly. In the court, we compete with each other with policy and debate; the way to govern the country is to show the truth with actual achievements. Why do you have to plot secretly and cheat behind the scenes? If you want to take my life, you can come openly. I, Cheng Wan, will wait for you and will never retreat!

But please remember: the disaster will not affect the family, and the crime will not affect the innocent. My parents, brothers and sisters have nothing to do with the imperial examination. If you dare to attack my relatives, you will fight to the death with me! At that time, I will do my best, at any cost, even if it means going to the ends of the earth, I will make those who hurt my relatives pay a painful price!

I hope you guys will take care of yourself. If you are willing to fight in a fair way, we can still work together in the future; if you insist on doing this despicable thing, you will regret it in the future!

Cheng Wan respectfully informs

September 27, the second year of Qitai

Gu Yan's eyes repeatedly wandered over the "Letter to the Enemies" in his hand: "Ah Wan," Gu Yan raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Is this move too...drastic?"

Facing Cheng Wan's calm gaze, Gu Yan paused and continued, "This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, pushing you and even the entire Cheng family to the top of the storm! Once this book is published, it is likely to completely infuriate those people, and by then, the murderous intent will only be worse!"

"But Ayan, I have no other way to go."

The slightly upturned curve at the corner of Cheng Wan's mouth was still there, but there was a cold snowy scene in his eyes.

“Those people are entrenched in high positions, and you know better than me how deep and extensive their power is.

In my Cheng family, we only have one Marquis Zhaoping and one Captain Zhaowu, and we haven’t even had time to train up family guards.

They are so alone and have such a weak foundation. Even with your help, the Cheng family has no chance of winning against them."

A gloomy look flashed across Gu Yan's eyes.

Although what Cheng Wan said was cruel, it was all reality.

"Ah Wan, we can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

As he spoke, Gu Yan suddenly stopped.

He couldn't even finish the next words.

Gu Yan shook his head, his lips curled up in self-mockery, his mind was really stupid now.

Cheng Wan walked to the window, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said in a calm voice:

"I know what you want to say, and it's not like I haven't thought about asking His Royal Highness for help.

But he is the crown prince, and the enemy is eyeing us covetously. Even if we have a close relationship with him, he cannot simply transfer personnel to protect the family of a minister without any basis.

Besides, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, the Emperor will never agree to His Royal Highness falling into such a situation because of me.

I’m afraid that by then, even without those people taking action, the emperor will be eager to chop off my head immediately.”

Cheng Wan turned around and faced Gu Yan, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp and intimidating:

“Ayan, you and I both know that as long as those people are determined, give up their bottom line, and choose to attack my family, we will not be able to stop them with our current strength!

My grandma, my parents, my brother, my siblings... I can't protect them! I can't protect any of them!

Once they take action, the Cheng family will be destroyed, there will be no chance of survival!"

Cheng Wan took a deep breath, and the crisp chill in the air seemed to penetrate into her lungs, making her more sober and calm.

“So, this is the only way for me!

I have to strike first before they do anything!

I will spread this "Letter to All Enemies" throughout the world as quickly as possible!

Not only should the bigwigs in the capital know about it, but also the peddlers and hawkers in the streets should know about it!

I want everyone in the world to see their filthiness!

Let everyone know that I, Cheng Wan, act uprightly and honestly, and it is they who are afraid of being in the spotlight. It is they who covet my fame and fortune, and it is they who are afraid that a woman can also stand in the court!

We must make sure that every one of them remembers the contents of the book firmly!"

Cheng Wan's voice was firm and decisive, with an unquestionable force: "'Don't let the harm extend to my family, and don't let the crime extend to the innocent'! If you hurt one of me, I will fight to the end! But if you touch a hair of my loved ones, we will perish together! We will not stop until we die!"

The corners of Cheng Wan's lips curled up in a heart-pounding arc:

“Ayan, when they insulted my father, I dared to draw my knife.

Now, my knife will only be sharper and my life will be tougher.

If they really want to take my life, let them try!

But if I don't die, I will be their eternal nightmare!

This "Letter to the Enemies" is my armor and also my barrier.

When they want to take action again, they must first weigh the public opinion, and consider whether they can withstand the desperate revenge of a woman who has no scruples, great martial arts skills and a vindictive heart!

I want them to be cautious! I want them to be worried!

Even if there is only a little bit, it can bring more possibilities of safety to my loved ones!"

Cheng Wan looked at Gu Yan with burning eyes: "I need you to help me make it known to everyone as quickly and widely as possible!"

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan deeply.

"it is good."

Gu Yan opened his mouth, his voice was not loud, but it was as loud as a drop of metal or stone.

He smoothed the paper carefully, with meticulous precision.

"I will write a secret letter myself and use secret channels to make it known to everyone as soon as possible in the safest way! As for you," Gu Yan paused and lowered his voice, "If someone really rushes at you desperately, remember what you said just now. Your knife must be fast and sharp enough. Your life is more important than a thousand pounds to many people."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wan took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and a smile finally appeared in his eyes.

She had a premonition that a new storm was coming.

And she is ready to face the storm.
