Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 35 As long as I am here, she will be safe

一
After the funeral ceremony outside the clerk, Cai Shi raided Wen's mansion on the pretext of handling a case and did not allow Wen Shu to stay there anymore. On the pretext that Wen Shu was involved in the case, he was not allowed to leave Yong'an and was not allowed to stay in the inn, otherwise she would be punished with the same crime.

In desperation, Zhang Yun brought Wen Shu and Zhong Lan back to Zhang Jue's residence in Yong'an.

"Second Uncle won't teach the county school this year. He went back to his hometown in Quanzhou to clean up in October last year. He will come back after a while. The two girls will stay first." Zhang Tong ordered the servants in the mansion to clean up the guest room for Zhong Yan and Wen Shu.

"Tomorrow I will go to the county government office to inspect the case. I will not let him wrong you."

After handing the compiled files to Zhang Zhen, Zhong Lan grabbed Wen Shu and said: "Shopkeeper Liu said that the cloth shop in Yuzhou made an error first. I will go to Yuzhou for you to find the man who made the cloth shop. This matter. If there are any mistakes, there must be flaws to be found.”

Nowadays, Wen Shu speaks less and less, and just sits there with her head down all day long. Zhong Lan tries to persuade her to no avail, but also talks to her all day long, telling her that Wen Yi hasn't come back yet, and Wen Mansion still needs her support.

Hearing Zhong Lan's words, Wen Shu only shook her head.

Before she could speak, Zhong Lan intercepted her words: "Don't say depressing words. Now you have me, Shen Feng, and Young Master Zhang to support you. Keep your spirits up and wait for the future."

"Yes, Miss Wen. There is no news about Wen Er now, which is good news." Zhang Zhu carefully comforted him, "He is smart and smart, so he will definitely avoid this disaster."

Seeing that Wen Shu had no reaction, Zhong Lan stood up and saluted Zhang Zhu: "As soon as I leave, Wen Shu will be entrusted to Young Master Zhang."

Zhang Chen bowed his head in response: "Don't worry, I'm here to protect her."

Early the next morning, after Zhang Zhu ordered the people in the mansion to guard the door, he went to the Yong'an County Government Office.Holding Zhang Yan's talisman, Cai Shi did not dare to touch him and could only let him follow the investigation.

Zhang Meng turned over the testimony submitted by Yuzhou, frowned and said solemnly: "Most of this is just the words of shopkeeper Huang and the second manager. It is not trustworthy. Where is the accounting book in question?"

Cai Shi handed a thick account book to Zhang Zhuo. When Zhang Zhuo caught it, he did not let go. He only laughed harmoniously and said: "Young Master Zhang, I have already checked this account book, and the accounts are all clear. , the Wen family and Xiliang acted as ghosts and lied about the quantity of the goods that went out of the customs, there is no problem."

"Whether there is a problem or not, it is not Mr. Cai who has the final say." Zhang Zhu took the account book into his hand with force, "I will take it back and show it to Miss Wen later."

Cai Shi frowned slightly, but quickly regained his smile: "This is evidence in this case, how can you just show it to others?"

"What Mr. Cai said is ridiculous. Since it is the account book of their Wen family, why can't she, Miss Wen, read it? Is it possible that this account book is fake and the owner's family can't see it?"

Cai Shi was choked and had to agree with Zhang Zhu to take the account book back.

"I heard that your Excellency sealed off all the property of the Wen family without reporting it. Do you think this is true?" Zhang Zhu then asked.

"Wenfu is suspected of treason..."

"The case has not been investigated yet, so it's too early for Mr. Cai to convict? Since ancient times, we have never seen a case of confiscation of family property before conviction. Should my father report to His Majesty to ask Mr. Cai if this is right?"

"What do you want, Young Master Zhang?" Cai Shi said with a smile.

"Return the Wen family's property to Wen Shu. All guilt and punishment will be dealt with after the conviction."

In the evening, Zhang Zhuo returned to his residence and went straight to visit Wen Shu. He saw Yun Le and Yun Qi waiting outside the door: "Why are you outside? How is Miss Wen?"

"The girl locked herself in the room and didn't eat anything all day." Yun Le said worriedly.

Zhang Meng looked at the dark room, whispered to Yunqi and Yunle to warm Wen Shu's food, and walked through the door.

Wen Shu wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and curled up on the couch, motionless except for her shallow breathing.

"Miss Wen." Zhang Meng called and carefully sat on the soft chair in front of Wen Shu's couch. "I brought back the accounting book in question. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need." Wen Shu's soft voice came from the quilt.Zhang Yan couldn't help but worry: "Then, do you want some food? I heard from Yunle and the others that you haven't eaten for a day."

"Thank you, I don't want to eat."

There was another long silence.

"Miss Wen, are you okay?"

Wen Shu didn't respond for a long time, only snorted.

Thinking of Wen Shu's weak voice, Zhang Tong was afraid that something might happen to her, and it was inconvenient to reach out to probe her, so he wanted to provoke her: "Miss Wen, Miss Zhong entrusted you to me before leaving, how can you make her feel at ease, and let me How to explain to her?"

Wen Shu turned sideways and pulled down the quilt, revealing her eyes that were swollen to walnuts, and the traces of tears were clearly visible on her face.She had no strength and stubbornly turned her face away from Zhang Zhuo.

Zhang Zhuo felt a twinge of pain in his heart, but he was at a loss. He persuaded softly: "I asked Yunle and the others to heat up the rice and use some later. Now you are the god of the Wen family. Even if it is for Wen Yi, it is for the Wen family." , you have to hold on."

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Shu: "Drink some water to moisten your throat first, so you can eat later."

A hint of helplessness flashed through Wen Shu's empty eyes. She sighed and tried to stand up with her extremely thin arms.

Seeing that Wen Shu was struggling to get up, Zhang Zhuo quickly stepped forward to help her up, leaned in front of him, and carefully fed the tea in the cup.

Wen Shu drank more urgently, choked and coughed, and held Zhang Zhu's arm: "If I hadn't knelt in front of my mother and swore to wait for Wen Yi to come back for Wen Yi, Wen Mansion, and I would have held on long ago. Can’t stand anymore.”

"My parents died in vain, Wen's family was also raided, Wen Yi's whereabouts are still unknown, and I no longer have a home." Wen Shu huddled in Zhang Shu's arms and cried softly, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes.

"So you have to cheer up." Zhang Tong put down his teacup, picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped away tears for her, "Avenge Wen's family, and wait for Wen Yi to come back. This matter is weird, and Wen's family has not yet been convicted. There is still room for improvement, and we cannot miss this opportunity."

"If you fail to recover and Cai Shi convicts the Wen family and reports it to the court, then everything will really be over."

Wen Shu clutched Zhang Zhuo's sleeve tightly and cried very uncontrollably: "But I have written the whole story and submitted it to the county government thousands of times, but it has all fallen to the bottom of the sea. There has been no response for a long time, and there is no way to ask for help."

Zhang Meng looked at Wen Shu in his arms. She was just a girl with hair extensions. She lost her mother and father overnight, her whole family collapsed, and she was forced to get married. How could she survive this easily?

He held Wen Shu in his arms: "I have asked the county government to return the Wen family's property first. Now Mrs. Zhong has gone to Yuzhou to verify the evidence. I will be in charge of you in Yong'an, and Shen Da will lead people in Taiming to search for Wen Yi. . We have not given up, and you should not give up on yourself easily, okay?"

"I promise you, if Yong'an can't do it, I will ask my father to investigate; if my father can't do it, I will take you to the royal capital to beat the drum. I don't believe that there is no place for justice in this world. "Zhang Zhuo hugged Wen Shu tightly, wanting to pass on his power to her.

The warmth that belonged to Zhang Yun was transferred bit by bit from his hot chest to Wen Shu's heart.

A smell unique to a young man hit Wen Shu's sense of smell. She was at a loss for a moment: "I promise you, just let me go first."

Only then did Zhang Yun realize his abruptness, and he quickly carefully leaned Wen Shu on the soft pillow, stood up and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry! I, I, I offended Miss Wen."

Wen Shu's pale cheeks were slightly red, and she shook her head: "It's okay."

"Girl, young Master Zhang, the food is already warm," Yun Le said at the door.

"Bring it in." Zhang Yan raised the soft pillow behind Wen Shu to a suitable height and hurriedly sat back on the soft chair.

"After dinner, could you please Mr. Zhang show me the account book?" Wen Shu took the bowl handed over by Yun Le.

"Okay." Zhang Zhu said happily.
