Chapter 91: I will kill him again
Wen Yan not only did not beg for mercy or give in, but instead looked back at him with a firm gaze.
It seems like he wants to compete with him.
Wen Yan was in so much pain that her vision became blurry, but she did not show any fear.
Only then did Meng Xiyan let her go.
Her arm immediately dropped, pulling her muscles and causing her body to tremble in pain. She quickly supported it with her other hand.
But she still looked at Meng Xiyan, lowered her voice, and said calmly: "Brother Xiyan, you must protect him well. Don't let him meet me alone again."
The implication is: I will kill him again if I get the chance.
Meng Xiyan: "You..."
Stubborn and unyielding.
He didn't understand why Wen Yan had such a strong hatred for Sun Rulan.
Even if Sun Rulan has a bad character and is not fit to be a husband, we can just find a way to cancel the engagement.
Why did she insist on killing people?
He was about to ask again when Meng Chifei's voice came from outside: "Brother, I heard Yanyan is here..."
Then the door was pushed open from the outside.
The two people who were originally confronting each other suddenly put on smiles and made expressions as if they were having a very happy conversation.
"Sister Chi Fei!"
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Wen Yan and Meng Xiyan spoke at the same time.
Neither of them wanted Meng Chifei to discover their confrontation.
Meng Chifei was no fool, so he naturally sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere. "What were you two talking about just now?"
"Yanyan, you are sweating all over. Are you saying bad things about me behind my back? Are you feeling guilty?" Meng Chifei took out a handkerchief to wipe Wen Yan's sweat, and his words were still tentative.
"How could I possibly say something bad about you? I was telling Brother Xi Yan about the things happening in Jinyang Prefecture."
"Did the people you sent out to investigate the Jinyang Prefecture get any results?" Meng Chifei's attention was diverted.
Wen Yan nodded.
Take out the booklet and hand it to Meng Chifei.
Meng Chifei started flipping through it immediately.
The more she looked, the darker her face became.
"Outrageous! Outrageous! Lan Hong is exploiting the people and sucking their blood out of them. He's absolutely deranged. Has he lost even the most basic humanity?"
So many people under his rule are left without clothes or food, doesn't his conscience hurt?"
All of Yanyan’s predictions came true!
Meng Chifei was so angry that he threw the booklet to the ground.
Meng Xiyan picked up the booklet and flipped through it quickly.
His face was also terribly gloomy.
Wen Yan looked at the two men's expressions and asked, "Brother Xi Yan, have you received any news from the people you sent to Jinyang Prefecture?"
Meng Xiyan shook his head and remained silent.
Meng Chifei huffed, "This Lan Hong is going too far. We need to find a way to bring him down!"
"And the people of Jinyang Prefecture, they are so pitiful. How can the people whom the soldiers at the border have risked their blood and sweat to protect be starved to death by those corrupt officials?"
"Yanyan, do you have any methods or evidence to deal with him?"
Yanyan has predictive dreams and must know more than me.
Meng Xiyan immediately grabbed Meng Chifei and said, "How could you involve Wen Yan in this matter?"
Wen Yan has no foundation or background, and nothing good will come of running into the Lan family.
"I only have some ideas for disaster relief." Wen Yan glanced at Meng Xiyan and added, "However, we should wait for news from Brother Xiyan before discussing it together to avoid alerting the enemy."
"It shouldn't take a few days for news to come back." Meng Chifei nodded confidently. "My brother's men are good at finding people and finding things, even if they can't do other things. A rat broke into our camp in the first half of the year.
They followed the mouse and dug up the entire rat's nest.
That night, all the generals in the camp had meat as a snack."
"Isn't that the one eating the rats?"
"Exactly!"
"How big a rat's nest would it be to feed an entire battalion?"
"Hey! Chop it all into minced meat, sprinkle it with the cabbage and stew it in a pot. You know what, that pot of cabbage really tastes much better."
"Is rat meat delicious? I haven't eaten it yet."
"I just tasted it, but didn't eat the meat. But the soldiers in our camp said that there is a kind of bamboo rat in the south, which is not only big, but also has very delicious meat." Meng Chifei couldn't help swallowing as he spoke.
She was greedy.
The two of them left the training ground while talking.
"By the way, Yanyan, guess who I saw on the way back?"
"Who is it?" Wen Yan was curious. Who in the capital could attract her attention?
Meng Chifei whispered in her ear, "Jiang Xinkui, your stepmother. She was sneaking around in a teahouse box with a man."
Wen Yan was surprised. She didn't expect that her kind adoptive father would actually send Jiang Xinkui to cover the problem.
That's really interesting.
"You said, these two middle-aged people, why don't they just meet openly? Why do they have to close the door and windows? Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?
Anyone who sees it thinks there’s something fishy going on between them.”
"Perhaps they are discussing a way to make money. If they don't lock the doors and windows tightly, someone might hear them and cut off their financial resources."
Meng Chifei burst out laughing.
Meng Xiyan looked at Wen Yan's arms drooping unnaturally and touched his earlobe guiltily.
I was too impulsive just now.
He was angered by Wen Yan in a few seconds and even hurt her.
Now even if I was right, I am no longer right.
The two of them returned to the yard chatting and laughing.
Meng Chifei nervously held Wen Yan's hand and asked, "Did my brother interrogate you about Sun Rulan?"
Seeing that she had guessed it.
Wen Yan no longer concealed it: "Yes."
"Brother didn't torture you, did he? Did he scare you?"
Meng Chifei looked at Wen Yan left and right, fearing that she would be hurt.
Wen Yan's forearm hurt because of Meng Chifei's actions, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
If she knew that Meng Xiyan pinched her arm, she would definitely chase Meng Xiyan and beat him up.
See she's fine.
Meng Chifei asked Wen Yan again: "Is it that Sun Rulan treated me badly after we got married? When something happened at home and I couldn't come back, it was also because of Sun Rulan, right?"
Seeing that she had guessed most of the story, Wen Yan told her the whole story.
She hadn't intended to hide it from her.
Knowing nothing is even more terrifying.
Only by knowing what kind of person Sun Rulan is can we be on guard.
I didn’t tell you before because the timing was not right.
After hearing this, Meng Chifei slapped himself.
She beat herself up for being as stupid as a pig, being led by the nose by a weak scholar.
She immediately clenched her fists until they crackled.
I really want to smash Sun Rulan’s head with my own hands.
"I went to the border to achieve great things and come back for revenge. Did Yan Yan personally chop off Sun Rulan's head?"
"I didn't live more than two years before I reported to the underworld." Wen Yan comforted her in a relaxed tone, "Everything hasn't happened yet. We can avoid it. Don't go looking for Sun Rulan impulsively."
Meng Chifei poked her forehead and said, "Don't be impulsive, you are the one! You have thin arms and legs, and you dare to assassinate me."
"They say it takes a hundred years to cultivate to be able to ride the same boat together, and a thousand years to cultivate to be able to sleep on the same pillow together. I must have cultivated for ten thousand years to finally get a Yanyan." She hugged Wen Yan and rubbed him, "Yanyan, you are so good!"
Yanyan is a weak woman who is willing to sacrifice human lives for her own sake.
Wen Yan comforted her for a while, and saw that she had calmed down and felt sleepy.
After coaxing her to sleep, he returned to his room.
She lifted her sleeve and took a look.
The entire forearm was red and swollen, with a large purple handprint on it.
