Chapter 339 Thank you for the compliment
To be honest, Wen Wan had thought about the possibility of running into enemies with the He family in Fengcheng.
After all, the jade pendant is still in her hands, and as long as He Qing is not dead, he will come to her.
So when Wen Wan saw He Miao appear, there was no expression on her face.
She calmly took a sip of tea before slowly standing up.
"Miss He, you're coming here with such a fierce attitude. Are you here to thank me for redeeming the general? There's no need to be so polite."
When He Miao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she said sarcastically, "Should I say you're brave, or should I say you have big breasts but no brains?"
Wen Wan: “…”
She glanced down, then looked up and couldn't help laughing.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss He. This is the most favorite compliment I've ever heard!"
Praise?
He Miao widened her eyes and glanced blankly in the direction of Wen Wan's gaze.
He Miao: "...You, you are so shameless!"
What woman would be happy if she was praised for her big breasts (brainless)?
Wen Wan shook her head. "You are still young, you don't understand. Women are persistent in this regard, just like you can't tell a man he's not good enough in front of him."
He Miao was about to argue with her, but the follower following her coughed, and she realized that they were in an inn.
How could a girl like her discuss such topics in public? Wen Wan didn't care about her reputation. As the legitimate daughter of the He family, how could she let others look down on her?
"Stop talking nonsense and surrender yourself."
"Oh, okay."
Wen Wan walked forward, calmly passed He Miao, took a few steps, and seeing that she didn't catch up, she turned back and called her.
He Miao became more and more confused, and looked at her with shock in her eyes.
"Why aren't you afraid of death? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Wen Wan paused and sighed helplessly, "Didn't you tell me to surrender obediently? I took the initiative to go with you. Isn't that obedient enough?"
The daughter of a wealthy family is really hard to please.
After a pause, Wen Wan asked again: "So, will you kill me?"
Will it?
He Miao really wanted to say, of course!
But she couldn't say this.
If she killed Wen Wan, Brother Yu would definitely hate her to death, right?
So angry!
He Miao glared at Wen Wan angrily, making herself look like a pufferfish.
Seeing her like this, Wen Wan had the urge to go up and pinch her cheek, but fortunately she was still rational and held herself back.

The Fengcheng Prefecture Mansion underwent six months of renovation after it was burned down by a fire.
The emperor sent a new prefect to manage Fengcheng. The new prefect's surname was Ma. He was a square-faced young man with a small beard. He always had a smile on his face when he looked at people.
Wen Wan followed He Miao into the prefect's mansion and met Prefect Ma at the door of He Qing's room.
Prefect Ma greeted He Miao, and glanced at Wen Wan from the steps, but did not ask any further questions.
He said he had something else to do and left.
Wen Wan looked back at the back of Ma Taishou, her eyes a little vague.
Why did she feel that this Governor Ma looked familiar?
But she clearly didn't know anyone with the surname Ma.
After not seeing him for many days, He Qing looked so thin that he looked like a ghost.
When Wen Wan saw it for the first time, she was really scared.
"Brother, I've brought the person who holds your jade token."
He Miao sat down beside the bed and held He Qing's hand with tears in her eyes.
She glared at Wen Wan again with resentment, "But she's not the mute girl you said. With that mouth of hers, she can easily make people angry to death."
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and muttered softly, "It's not that exaggerated."
He Qing, who was lying on the bed listlessly, heard Wen Wan speak. It took a while for his empty eyes to brighten up.
He stared at Wen Wan, looking her up and down, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Who are you, you?"
He Qing was really badly injured, and it took him a while to catch his breath before he could speak.
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "General He, no matter who I am, it was you who asked me to come to Fengcheng for help. I have helped you, right?"
He Miao on the side quickly explained, "Brother, I know who she is. She is the woman that Brother Yu keeps outside!"
"Chen Yu?" He Qing's pupils shrank, as if he had not expected that Wen Wan would be related to Shen Yu.
He Qing is a very good person. After thinking about it carefully, I can guess a lot.
"So, from the beginning, you disguised yourself as a mute peasant woman to sneak into my group?"
Wen Wan nodded angrily.
He Qing was furious when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, you and Shen Yu are colluding with each other right under my nose!"
This was the first time in his life that He Qing was played around like this.
He was very angry and coughed for a long time before he stopped.
He Miao poured water, patted her on the back, and glared at Wen Wan from time to time.
Wen Wan stood not far away and didn't say a word.
She waited until He Qing calmed down before she spoke again.
"General He, what's the point of saying all this now? Think about it, if I hadn't infiltrated your team, who would have delivered the message for you when you were in danger? Who would have called for help on your behalf? It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
"What a clever mouth you have!"
He Qing gritted his teeth and said, "You cheated my sister out of ten thousand taels of silver, and you call that asking for help for me?"
Wen Wan was very calm. "General He, you've wronged me. I swear to God, I didn't take a single penny of that ten thousand taels of silver. I gave it all to the people of Mobei. Otherwise, how could they have let you go so easily?"
"Let me go?"
When He Qing heard these two words, he went crazy and suddenly threw back the quilt.
Under the quilt, He Qing's legs were covered in blood, with flesh and skin flying around. In some places, the bones were visible, and a lot of flesh and skin had festered, perhaps because he had not received timely treatment.
With such a serious injury, these legs are indeed useless!
Wen Wan's face was filled with shock, mixed with confusion and bewilderment.
"You said they let me go?"
He Qing raised his head and laughed crazily, "They're clearly trying to make me suffer a fate worse than death!"
As he laughed, his fists kept hitting the bed.
The loud bangs were like fists hitting everyone's heart, making everyone terrified.
"Brother! Brother! Calm down. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood! I'm here. Our He family will be fine, and neither will you!"
While comforting He Qing, He Miao called someone in to hold He Qing down.
There were many people in the room, and the He brothers and sisters had no time to deal with Wen Wan, so they kicked her out of the room.
Wen Wan stood at the door and watched the doctor hurried in carrying the medicine box.
After a while, the generals of the Fengcheng defenders also rushed over.
Many of He Qing's confidants gathered in the yard, all waiting for news.
Wen Wan took a look at the people who came. They were wearing armor, and from the markings on the armor, one could tell their positions in the army.
After she took a look around, she couldn't help but sigh.
More than half of the generals defending the border town have come?
She couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the newly appointed commander of Fengcheng.
