Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 31 Mom wants you to swear

一
With Wen Shu in mind, Zhong Lan rode a horse instead of a carriage, and traveled day and night to Wen's mansion.

In Fengen Alley in the west of Yong'an City, the door of Wen Mansion was closed tightly, and the boy who was guarding the door was gone. Zhong Lan endured his worry and went up to knock on the door.

After a long time, the door of the mansion opened slightly, and the person inside asked timidly: "Who is it?"

"I, Zhonglan! Open the door!"

"Miss Lai!" After hearing this, the man at the door quickly opened the door, and it turned out to be Yun Qi, the second-class female envoy in Wen Shu's room.

"Yunqi? Why are you guarding the door now? Where is the concierge?"

Yun Qi looked around and after confirming that no one was there, he let Zhong Lan enter the house: "Miss Lan, please go and persuade our girl."

"Wen Shu? What's wrong with Wen Shu?"

"Girl, she hasn't eaten for three days. Previously, she took people to the county government office to complain, but they were blocked by the magistrate. Now, in addition to serving the lady's soup and medicine, the girl locks herself in the room and writes a complaint." Yun said. Qi led Zhong Lan to Wenshu's yard.

There were almost no female servants along the way. Compared with the bustle when Zhong Lan came last time, the current Wen Mansion was eerily silent.

Zhong Lan couldn't help but ask: "Where are the people in the mansion?"

Yun Qi sighed: "Miss Huilan, after something happened in the house, some people were afraid of being dragged down and wanted to leave. The girl was so kind that she gave money to those who wanted to leave and let them go. Now there are only a few loyal ones left. Waiting in the lady's room is waiting for news at the gate of the county government."

"Now that the news of the disappearance of the second master came this morning, the girl has no manpower available."

Zhong Lan said no more and walked straight into Wen Shu's yard.

Yun Le was waiting anxiously outside the door with the freshly heated food: "Girl, let's eat some."

"Go and split it with Yun Qi. Now that the money from the bank cannot be withdrawn, there is not much rice left at home." Wen Shu's voice came from the room, as well as the sound of paper being crumpled.

Hearing this, Zhong Lan stepped forward and opened Wen Shu's door: "Now you are the backbone of the family. If you fall, no one else will be able to change you."

Wen Shu was in a trance when she heard Zhong Lan's voice. She slowly raised her head. The dazzling sunlight made her squint her eyes. She saw the person who opened the door walked in against the light and walked quickly to her side.

After taking a closer look at the person coming, Wen Shu's eye circles turned red again: "Zhong Lan..."

Zhong Lan hugged Wen Shu tightly, letting her cry silently and wet her shoulders: "Don't be afraid, I brought money, I will buy you food, I will take care of your food, and I will help you redress your grievances."

"Wen Yi is missing." Wen Shu sobbed in a low voice, "I don't dare to tell my mother. I can only feel uncomfortable in my heart. I have no one to send."

"Shen Feng has already taken people to Taiming. The Shen family is also in Taiming. They must have [-]% strength and [-]% to find Wenyi. Don't worry." Zhong Lan gently stroked Wen Shu's back. She lost a lot of weight. , you can clearly feel the slender and slightly curved spine through the not too thin coat.

"Eat something. Only when you are full can you have strength." Zhong Lan winked at Yun Le and asked Yun Le to bring the rice in and put it on the table.

Wen Shu picked up the bowl and took two bites. A grain of rice fell onto the written paper, staining the small characters.She hurriedly wiped it with her hands, but the ink was smeared, and her hands and paper were dirty.

Two drops of tears wet the paper, making the ink blur even more: "I'm useless, I can't do such a small thing well."

Just as Zhong Lan opened his mouth to persuade, he heard Caitao's anxious whimpering voice: "Girl! When the eldest lady heard about the second master, she vomited two mouthfuls of blood. She's already gone!"

"哐——" The whole bowl of food fell to the ground and shattered. Wen Shu got up and ran out, followed closely by Zhong Lan.two

On the couch, Mrs. Zheng's face was yellow and angry. She vaguely saw Wen Shu rushing to the couch, struggling to reach out and touch Wen Shu's head. She also saw Zhong Lan coming after him and forced a smile: "Lan." Why are you here, sister?"

Zhong Lan held back the tears in the corners of his eyes: "I heard that the Wen family was in trouble, and Lan'er came to help. It's because Lan'er was ignorant and didn't come to see Aunt Wen first after arriving."

"Good boy." Mrs. Zheng stretched out her hand towards Zhong Yan stiffly, and Zhong Yan hurried forward to hold her hand.

"Shu'er, these days have been tough for you." Mrs. Zheng stroked Wen Shu's head with her other hand.

"Mom, I'm going to call a doctor for you now. You'll be fine soon." Wen Shu couldn't stop crying, burying her head in front of the couch, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Don't spend more money. Mother knows her body well." Ms. Zheng shed tears reluctantly and sobbed faintly, "It's just that your father is still in prison for being unfairly wronged, and Brother Yi... "

"Mom! Nothing will happen to our family. You believe in Shu'er. You believe in me. I will definitely rescue daddy and retrieve Brother Yi. We will reunite as a family." Wen Shu burst into tears.

"Mom can't wait any longer." Mrs. Zheng shed a few lines of tears, and her voice became even lower. "Mom will hand the Wen family into your hands now. Mom wants you to swear that you will protect the Wen family and protect your father from death." Take him out of prison and bring your brother back."

"I swear! I swear! Mom, don't leave! Shu'er, please!"

Mrs. Zheng smiled and pulled Zhong Lan over, and said with her last bit of strength, "Sister Lan, Shu'er and the Wen family still need you to take care of them."

"Don't worry, Aunt Wen." Zhong Lan's tears fell along with Zheng's thin arms.

"mother!"

It is the cold winter season, and heavy snow is falling from the sky, as if they are also weeping and complaining about the injustice of life and death in the house.

Zhong Yan hugged Wen Shu and sat in the room guarding Zheng Shiku until dusk, while Chang Huanyun and Le Yunqi quietly guarded outside the room not to be disturbed.

After a long time, Wen Shu stood up silently, slowly opened the door and walked out. Her eyes were pale, and heavy snow was still falling.The howling north wind swept away flakes of snow, beating against the branches and walls of the courtyard, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Wen Shu walked aimlessly into the snow, not knowing where she was going. She just stepped on the snow and walked slowly towards the courtyard gate.

Zhong Lan followed her, fearing that something might happen to her. Seeing that her steps were unsteady and her body fell sideways into the snow, she hurriedly rushed forward.

"Let me go." Wen Shu looked at Zheng's door with dull eyes.

"Wen Shu, this is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. If the Wen family loses you again, it will really collapse!" Zhong Yan tightly hugged Wen Shu, who was unconscious and her eyes were empty.

"Zhonglan..." Wen Shu slowly hugged Zhonglan, "I don't have a mother anymore. I have nothing, nothing."

"You still have your father, you still have your brothers, you still have the Wen family, you still have us." Zhong Lan cried, "You can't give up."

"Because of this innocent disaster, you must seek justice for your father, mother and younger brother, and for the Wen family!"

Wen Shu cried loudly in the snow, fainted soon, and then developed a high fever.

Zhong Lan could only send Yun Le to ask for the doctor. While taking care of Wen Shu, he first took care of the Wen family and dealt with the Zheng family's affairs. At the same time, he wrote to Shen Feng about the Wen family's affairs, asking him to do his best to find him. Wenyi.
