Chapter 190 My Aunt Wan
Wen Wan slapped him on the back of the head.
"You're useless. She's just a vicious woman, what are you afraid of? Just bring her here, and I'll take care of the rest."
Zhou Lingling was a little worried, "What do you want to do?"
Wen Wan didn't answer immediately, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Power may be able to clean up the traces of killing, but the blood of those innocent people who died tragically at the temple fair has been integrated into the gray and yellow soil, and we will always remember the evil done by these people.
Although Wen Wan did not answer Zhou Lingling's question, Zhou Lingling seemed to understand something when she saw the murderous intent in her eyes.
"You're crazy!"
Wen Wan is crazy.
She also didn't expect that the scene of innocent people being massacred would be deeply imprinted in her mind.
If she doesn't do something, she will suffer from restlessness for the rest of her life.

Summer in the capital has finally arrived.
The sun shone brightly for two days in a row, and the temperature rose sharply. Even the small vendors selling herbal tea occupied the most advantageous positions.
In front of the stall, people drinking herbal tea sat together in groups.
Not far away, luxurious carriages were parked on both sides of the vermilion lacquered gate, welcoming guests, making it very lively.
Several tea drinkers started chatting.
"Master Meng really brought honor to the poor students. He won the top three places in the imperial examination, and the princess personally hosted her mother's birthday banquet for him."
"Yes, and just now when Lord Meng went out to greet the guests, I took a look. Oh, my, that face is really beautiful."
"She's talented, highly valued by the emperor, and has a face like this. If I were a princess, I'd like her too."
"Not only that, I heard that Master Meng is so chaste that he doesn't even have a maid to warm his bed in the courtyard."
Meng Jin is an object of envy for ordinary men. Now, he has become the ideal person in the minds of men in the Duan Dynasty.
A group of people were talking when a group of people came from the street corner. Judging from their appearance, they were from the palace.
The leading carriage was particularly luxurious, with palace guards on both sides standing on high alert, ready to drive away any approaching civilians at any time.
One of the tea drinkers was unable to dodge and was knocked down by a whip from a guard on horseback, and fell onto the tea stall. The tea drinkers and tea makers were all over the place.
Shen Yu had just arrived on horseback and happened to see this scene, and his brows immediately frowned.
Jin Mu followed behind him, gripping the reins tightly, and whispered, "General, it's the Queen's carriage. Why is she here?"
Shen Yu didn't respond, but snorted coldly: "He Qingqing is really becoming more and more brainless."
There are not many people in the imperial capital who dare to call the queen by her name.
The queen's original name was He Qingqing, and she was the eldest daughter of General He.
General He Fenghai was the most trusted minister of the late emperor and had one son and two daughters.
The eldest daughter He Qingqing, the son He Qing, and the younger daughter He Miao, whom Shen Yu had met last time when he was investigating the illegal sale of iron ore in Fengcheng.
The He family and the Shen family were old friends, and General He was also an elder whom Shen Yu respected very much.
It's a pity that General He has not been in good health in recent years, and all the family affairs have been left to his children to handle. With He Qingqing entering the palace as the queen and He Qing becoming the defender of Fengcheng, the He family has become the most trusted family of the emperor.
As the queen, He Qingqing has the support of her family, and her temper is getting worse and worse.
Chen Yu frowned and sighed, "When I have time someday, I should go visit General He. General He is the only one who understands the situation of the He family."
Kaneki nodded in response, and suddenly found that there was a familiar carriage following the queen.
"Huh? Why is Prince Cang here with the Queen?"
Shen Yu raised his eyes and saw Zhou Lingling.
Zhou Lingling stepped down from the carriage on a footstool with the help of a palace servant. He saw that the Queen was like a mouse seeing a cat, with the word "fear" written in big letters on her forehead.
Shen Yu sneered, "This kid's brain isn't very smart, but he's quite good at judging people."
Seeing Zhou Lingling follow the Queen into the Meng Mansion, Shen Yu withdrew his gaze.
He glanced back and asked, "When did the people sent to pick up Zhao leave?"
Chen Yu and Jin Mu went for a horse race outside the city early in the morning and did not leave the house with Zhao. Now they just had to wait here for Zhao to come and join them.
Kaneki thought for a moment, "Let's go at Chenshi. Calculating the time, it should be almost here by now."
The two waited for a while before the carriage from the Shen Mansion slowly approached.
The servant driving the carriage was about to get off the carriage and salute Shen Yu, but Shen Yu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go directly to the gate of Meng Mansion."
After walking half a street, they stopped at the gate of Shen's house.
Shen Yu turned over and dismounted. The servant parked the carriage and went to move the footstool.
The carriage curtain was opened, and Zhao walked down with the help of her personal maid.
Just as Shen Yu was about to look away, he saw another white and tender hand lift the curtain, and a familiar figure got off the carriage with neat movements.
Shen Yu's face darkened, "Why are you here?"
In front of others, Wen Wan always pretended to be well-behaved, but when she saw him being so fierce, she hid behind Zhao pitifully.
She timidly explained, "General, don't be angry. It was my wife who asked me to come here to broaden my horizons."
Hearing this, Shen Yu looked at Zhao.
Zhao pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and said with a stiff upper lip:
"The general left early this morning, and I'm afraid you might not be aware of this. Princess Jiarou sent someone to deliver an invitation. I couldn't make the decision, so I went to inform the old lady, and she told me to bring Sister Wan with me."
Since it was the old lady who had spoken, Shen Yu didn't know what to say, so he just glared at Wen Wan as a warning.
Wen Wan saw his warning but didn't care.
The Meng Mansion's chief steward was the first to see Shen Yu and the others, and immediately ran over to greet them.
Shen Yu exchanged a few polite words, and the butler led them inside.
*
The Meng Mansion's house was bestowed by the emperor. The courtyard has been carefully decorated, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery, corridors and pavilions, all of which have a unique artistic conception.
Guests gathered in groups of three or four to stroll around the garden, and Meng Jin was moving among the guests to greet them. He came from a poor family, but this time the banquet was personally organized by Princess Jiarou, which made him very proud.
He was in high spirits and very proud for a while.
Until his eyes fell on the group of people who had just entered the room.
"Xiao Wan..."
Meng Jin's face suddenly turned pale, and he stood there in a daze, his eyes fixed on Wen Wan.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes hard until his eye sockets turned red.
Really gentle!
She is not dead!
He walked up to Wen Wan eagerly, but before he could speak, he heard a cold snort from the side.
Shen Yu: "Master Meng, how are you?"
Meng Jin's whole body stiffened and his expression changed before he slowly calmed down.
He raised his hand and saluted Shen Yu, "General Shen, your presence truly brings honor to my humble abode."
According to etiquette, after the men have saluted, it is the women's turn to pay their respects.
But Meng Jin had not yet married, so Zhao just led Wen Wan to bow to him and did not say much.
If it were someone else, the greetings would be the same as before.
But Meng Jin suddenly said, "This girl looks a lot like an old friend of mine..."
Chen Yu pretended to be confused, "Oh? Lord Meng must have recognized the wrong person. She is not some girl. She is Concubine Wan who is pregnant with my child."
