A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous
Chapter 300 Using a House to Offend a Crime
It seems that his reason for going to her was neither out of pity for Zhongyong, nor out of concern that she couldn't handle those men in black on her own; he was worried that she was dead and he wouldn't be able to anger her anymore.
From Wen Meijiu's earlier statement, "You have," Ate knew that Wen Meijiu harbored extreme disgust for Yiran. Now, anyone who spoke up for Yiran was going against Wen Meijiu, including him, Young Master Wang.
Thinking of this, Art couldn't help but slightly raise his chin, a barely perceptible hint of pleasure hidden at the corner of his mouth:
Don't blame him for being heartless. Who told you, Young Master Wang, to be so fickle? Since you decided to protect Yiran, why did you take away Wen Meijiu while he was getting the mule?
If you try to have your cake and eat it too, don't blame At for showing no mercy.
Wen Meijiu didn't react much after hearing this. She stood there for a long time without saying a word or making any other response.
This was completely different from what Art had expected. He couldn't quite accept Wen Meijiu's reaction for a moment. He circled around Wen Meijiu, and seeing that she didn't intend to speak, he reminded her from the side:
"Girl, you're not going to leave it at that, are you?"
"Hmm? No way."
After regaining her composure, Wen Meijiu calmed down considerably, and her anger subsided.
To be honest, she was a little envious of Yiran; Young Master Wang really cared about her.
Wen Meijiu lowered her head, calmly sheathed the dagger, and said to Young Master Wang:
"I have something to tell you. We'll talk about the matter later, please."
After saying that, she stretched her hand to the side.
Young Master Wang opened his eyes and looked at Wen Meijiu with some disbelief. Wen Meijiu didn't give him a chance and turned to leave first.
Young Master Wang straightened his back. Even though he didn't understand what Wen Meijiu was up to, he could only hurry up and follow along if he wanted to solve the problem.
Art wanted to stop Wen Meijiu, but failed. He turned around to follow, but seeing that Young Master Wang had actually gone, he didn't want to make a fool of himself. He slapped his palm and sighed that Wen Meijiu should not be soft-hearted.
She found a relatively quiet corner, far from the crowd, and felt that no one could hear her if she spoke softly. So she stopped and waited quietly for Young Master Wang to come over.
"what do you want?"
Feeling uncertain, Young Master Wang walked over, his brows slightly furrowed.
"I don't want anything in particular, I just want to discuss terms with you."
You know I strike with great force; with my skill, one strike and you're dead for sure.
Since it was a negotiation, Wen Meijiu didn't stand on ceremony and revealed all her bargaining chips first.
He probably wouldn't refuse to trade his life for something.
"She doesn't deserve to die."
Wen Meijiu's attitude was very calm, completely unlike her previous emotional outburst, which made Young Master Wang very curious. He wanted to know why Wen Meijiu had suddenly come to her senses.
Therefore, when Wen Meijiu made up a card out of thin air, he did not accept it and stated that he was just a scapegoat. Even if Yiran herself was guilty, it was not a reason to take Yiran's life.
"But your intentions are despicable."
Wen Meijiu was served, and Young Master Wang glanced at her sideways, wondering what she was up to.
“You are the mastermind behind this. She was just an executor. Of course, she doesn’t deserve to die. Afterwards, she should bow and apologize to me in public. Just say something nice.”
With a cold sneer, Wen Meijiu remained remarkably calm.
Since he has already admitted it, then he should be brave enough to face the consequences. What's with all this talk about "her crime not deserving death"? It's you who should die.
He choked on his words, realizing Wen Meijiu was doing it on purpose, before catching his breath and continuing:
Even if I did it, what are you going to do about it?
Wen Meijiu was waiting for him to say those words. Don't think that just because he's powerful in front of her, he can solve people's problems by saying a few words and acting tough. He has to take on certain responsibilities.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I have a large family, and one courtyard would definitely not be enough for everyone in Donghai County."
Now that I've suffered such a great injustice, isn't it reasonable for you to compensate me with a two-courtyard house?
Wen Meijiu was willing to take the plunge, even if her grievances weren't worth the price of two courtyards. They could still discuss it further, and one courtyard would be fine too.
It wasn't that she was greedy; it's just that true feelings are hard to buy, and only real money can soothe people's hearts.
She had also thought about it. If she really beat Young Master Wang seriously, then Zhizheng and Old Li would be her enemies in the future. If she went to Donghai County in the future, with such enemies, it would probably be difficult for her to settle down.
Besides, the road ahead has already encountered so many problems, and the road ahead will probably be even more difficult. Without Zhizheng and the others, it's manageable for her own family, but she really can't take care of so many fellow villagers.
My father's leg has made considerable progress, and we will still need to rely on Old Li's careful treatment in the future.
With Zhizheng there, she and her fellow villagers can feel much more at ease.
There are some villagers she dislikes, but there are also quite a few she cares about, such as the village chief's family.
Thinking about it this way, it's not worth turning against them now. She wants to find another way to vent her anger, and it all depends on whether Young Master Wang agrees.
This was completely unexpected for Young Master Wang. He stared at her blankly for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
He didn't speak, his lips were tightly pursed, and his gaze remained fixed on her face, making Wen Meijiu's scalp tingle.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't flustered. Wen Meijiu tried her best to appear calm, coughed sharply to break the silence, lowered her eyelashes, and said with a displeased expression:
If you think
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wen Meijiu was about to lower the price when, unexpectedly, Young Master Wang agreed.
"make a deal."
In fact, Young Master Wang also felt that Wen Meijiu had suffered a great injustice, all because of her extraordinary relationship with Yiran. He would definitely teach her a lesson on Wen Meijiu's behalf.
Since Wen Meijiu took the initiative to reconcile in this way, it was much better than the idea of parting ways as suggested by Wen Meijiu's father. He felt that he had made a great deal and was afraid that Wen Meijiu would change her mind.
Young Master Wang agreed too quickly, catching Wen Meijiu somewhat off guard. She felt a little happy inside, but couldn't show it for the moment, so she patiently said with a cold face.
"It's an advantage for you."
Wen Meijiu turned to leave, but Young Master Wang called after her, saying:
"I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when we get back."
Wen Meijiu didn't turn around; her back looked cold.
"Lessons must be learned, and apologies are essential; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it."
"Of course." He agreed readily.
Wen Meijiu was satisfied. In fact, ever since she heard from A Te that they had stolen Liu Kerong's mule, she knew that trouble was inevitable. It was just that Yi Ran had gotten involved.
Fortunately, the outcome was manageable, and she even unexpectedly gained a property, so she shouldn't be too happy.
The two returned to the scene one after the other, and everyone stared at them, noticing that neither of them had a smile on their face.
"It's over, I guess the deal didn't go through."
"Wouldn't we all be doomed then?"
Everyone whispered among themselves, deeply worried.
