When I saw Zhou Wenhuai again, he was no different from a dead dog.
After all, the thirty strokes of the cane landed squarely on his buttocks, tearing his skin and flesh on the spot. His underwear was soaked with blood, and he was half-conscious and unconscious.
After hearing about this in the main house, Zhou's mother rushed to the hall in a panic. By the time she arrived, she was already a step too late.
Zhou Qing didn't explain too much, but just angrily cursed: "Serves you right!"
Zhou Wenhuai was a piece of flesh that fell from Zhou's mother's body, so she was naturally heartbroken. In her anxiety, she didn't even have time to give him medicine. She ordered people to carry him to the government office, trying to let the adults in the hall seek justice for him.
Who would have thought that Ning Cheng'an was not a pushover either. He found a witness from somewhere and actually sent Zhou Wenhuai to jail.
Now, after such a delay, the wound had already started to emit a strange smell. The man in the government office covered his nose without any hesitation, obviously feeling that the smell was unbearable.
When Zhou's mother saw that her son was finally carried out, she didn't care about anything else and rushed over.
Perhaps it was because the actions of those government officials were not light, Zhou Wenhuai's brows were tightly furrowed, with tear marks still on his cheeks. He was just humming, but no one could understand what he was saying.
——"No...no, I didn't...I didn't want to...hurt her...life..."
Zhou Wenhuai's voice was intermittent, and the pronunciation of several words was unclear. If Xiaoqi hadn't helped her translate, she would not have been able to understand it.
"Huai'er, don't be afraid. I'll take you back right away."
Zhou's mother listened for a long time but couldn't make out what was going on, so she thought her son was talking nonsense because of the pain.
Zhou Qing, who was standing beside him, also reacted and quickly hugged Zhou Wenhuai in his arms. As he turned to leave, he paused and said, "There are priorities. After Huai'er recovers from his injury, I will make him come to apologize in person."
Ning Cheng'an naturally would not stop this person at this time. He just tilted his head slightly and waved his hand.
Ning Wan stood to one side, holding her mother's hand with her small hand, her gaze locked on that face, which was three times paler than a dead person's. She mourned for three seconds in her heart, then silently asked, "Xiao Qi, is the mission completed?"

Special note: Plot fragments are for host reference only and cannot be used as the sole standard. Please pay attention to plot changes at any time to avoid mission failure.
However, Ning Wan's focus was not here, but on those two words.
Partially?
Doesn’t that mean that there will be more missions related to Zhou Wenhuai in the future?
[Host, I can't guarantee this, but if nothing unexpected happens, it will be there. Host, you can consider accepting the plot fragments first.]
Ning Wan: “…” Whether she should say it or not, she always has the illusion that she will be in trouble sooner or later.
*
After returning to the mansion, Ning Wan was sent directly back to her room. After sending Chunqin and Luzhu away, she finally felt at ease and opened the plot fragment she had just obtained.
[Ever since Ning Wan fell from the mountain and caused Zhou Wenhuai to be imprisoned, everything has changed quietly.
After Zhou Wenhuai woke up, he learned from his father that Ning Wan was engaged. He was anxious and rushed home without caring about healing his wounds. He went to Ning Mansion. Several servants were unable to stop him. He insisted on seeing Ning Wan again.
But the servants in the Ning Mansion had already received the message from the housekeeper, so they naturally refused to let Zhou Wenhuai in and were even unwilling to speak.
Zhou Wenhuai recalled the past. Although he knew that it was wrong to leave Ning Wan alone on the mountain, he never thought of severing contact with Ning Wan for the rest of his life.
He stood outside Ning's house waiting, but ended up waiting for the usual routine of waiting for rain.
Ning Wan also arrived at the gate of the mansion at this time, "Why did you come to see me?" She looked at Zhou Wenhuai standing in the rain with a slightly cold expression. She was no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Zhou Wenhuai, whose clothes were completely soaked by the heavy rain, shuddered at the words, perhaps from the cold or shock. "Is the engagement true?"
Ning Wan looked at the utterly embarrassed Zhou Wenhuai. For the first time, she lost her understanding demeanor and said in a tone that was almost malicious, "It's true. It's your fault. Are you happy?"
Zhou Wenhuai's pupils dilated slightly, his mouth slightly opened, wanting to explain, but all he could say was, "I...I...didn't mean it..."
Yeah, he didn't mean it.
He just wanted to teach the person in front of him a harmless little lesson, and thought it was about time so he went to pick her up.
But he was not familiar with the road there, and as he walked, he couldn't find anyone. His father's servants also came to look for him. He thought they would look for him, but what he waited for was her father coming to his house to question him.
He thought she was deliberately avoiding him so that her father would punish him, but he didn't expect that she was actually seriously injured and almost couldn't wake up.
He really wanted to make amends.
"so what?"
"What can you change by saying you didn't mean it?"
"I have already made an engagement, so let's avoid suspicion between you and me from now on."
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhuai lost his composure. Seeing the Ning Mansion's door about to close again, he subconsciously asked, "Then what does everything we did before mean?"
"Are you really going to break off relations with me because of that scholar?"
Ning Wan paused, and for the first time, a heartless look appeared on her still-young face: "Aren't we just playmates when we were young?"
"What else do you want to do with it?"
Zhou Wenhuai was slightly stunned. He had never expected that his position in Ning Wan's eyes was just a playmate.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Zhou Wenhuai just stood in the rain with his back straight, unwilling to move at all.
But he was already seriously injured and had not recovered yet. Now he was caught in the rain, so his brain was already filled with water. With his vision blurred, he only saw a young man who was slightly taller than him walking into the Ning Mansion.
The remaining rationality told Zhou Wenhuai that the young man in front of him was Ning Wan's fiancé.
But he saw that his family had no power or wealth, and he was obviously a man who lived off his wife. Was Ning Wan really going to waste her life with him?
He wanted to stop him, but he saw the boy move the umbrella towards Ning Wan. Ning Wan, who always disliked contact with outsiders, also cooperated and held the boy's wrist.
How can this be!
Zhou Wenhuai eventually couldn't hold on and fell into a coma, and Zhou's mother finally arrived and brought him back to the mansion. However, when she left, she looked at Ning Mansion with hatred in her eyes.
No one could tell what she was thinking at that glance, but Zhou Wenhuai fell ill for a long time and only regained consciousness several months later...
