Chapter 375: Pretending to Please
Having said that, Wen Wan frowned again.
Seeing this, Shen Yu asked tentatively, "Do you think He Miao's attitude towards He Qing doesn't seem like she would harm He Qing?"
Wen Wan nodded.
Shen Yu said, "He Miao may not harm He Qing, but what about the He family members who went with He Miao?"
Hearing this, Wen Wan looked up in surprise: "Are you saying that He Qingqing had someone attack He Qing without He Miao's knowledge?"
"It should be." Chen Yu said: "You are just wondering why He Qingqing attacked his own family?"
"But think about it carefully. If General He and He Qing were still in the He family, He Qingqing wouldn't even have a chance to speak in the family, let alone hold power."
Wen Wan was suddenly stunned.
By the way, this is an era where men are superior to women.
In aristocratic families, men are respected and women are inferior.
It is natural for men to do whatever they want, and a woman’s future plan is just to take care of her husband and children and marry into a good family.
Even if Ruo Qingqing is already a queen and can get the respect of her master, if she wants the whole family to support her in seizing power in the court, no one will follow her.
The more Wen Wan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She whispered, "After General He and He Qing die, won't the He family's power fall into the hands of the He family's side branches?"
Shen Yu frowned: "If nothing unexpected happens, He Qingqing will let He Miao find a son-in-law."
"Marrying someone into the family is a good idea for the He family."
Shen Yu said: "Okay, I'll take you away from the Meng Mansion while no one is around."
Chen Yu pulled Wen Wan's wrist and tried to climb out of the window, but Wen Wan stood there without moving.
"No rush." Wen Wan sneered, "Since we have all analyzed that He Qingqing is the person behind the scenes, I can't leave the Meng Mansion for the time being."
Shen Yu stared at her with a sullen face.
Wen Wan patted his hand soothingly and said, "Think about it, since He Qingqing is in power, I once assassinated her and made it difficult for her to have children after she was injured."
"If she knew I was Lady Wen, would she give me a chance to live?"
Not to mention Wen Wan, no one in the entire Wen Company had a good ending.
"So before He Qingqing finds out that Madam Wen is me, I must die."
After listening to this, Shen Yu frowned tightly and asked, "Do you want Madam Wen to die in the Meng Mansion?"
"Yes." Wen Wan nodded and continued, "Mrs. Lin has been trying to win me over, isn't it because of the wealth of the Wen family business?"
"Mrs. Lin has the Queen behind her, which means it's actually He Qingqing who wants the Wen family's wealth. If that's the case, then let's try to sow discord."
Wen Wan proudly took credit for what she said to Shen Yu, "During the day, I deliberately made an excuse to appear in front of everyone and even acted like a spendthrift. I have already told everyone my identity, so naturally, this word will reach the ears of those who are interested."
"If something happens to me and all the wealth of the Wen family disappears, then the first person He Qingqing will suspect will be Meng Jin."
Shen Yu hesitated a little and said, "It's a good plan, but... I'm worried about you staying in the Meng Mansion."
Everyone knows what Meng Jin feels towards Wen Wan.
Letting her stay here is like a sheep entering a wolf's mouth. How can Shen Yu feel at ease?
Wen Wan smiled and hugged Shen Yu's waist, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, saying soothingly:
"Okay, don't worry. I've lived a good life all these years. What kind of danger haven't I faced? Don't you still have confidence in my abilities?"
"But……"
Shen Yu wanted to say something, but Wen Wan blocked his mouth with her lips.
After a brief touch, they separated. Wen Wan smiled and said, "I'll find a way to get Meng Jin to take me to the Guanyin Temple in the eastern suburbs. You can have someone set up there in advance, and we'll let Madam Wen die there, okay?"
There was still some remnant of the gentle touch on her lips. Shen Yu had no way to deal with her, and in the end he could only respond in a rough voice.

In the evening, the sunset glow in the sky was dyed into colorful colors again.
Wenwan lay on the couch, looking at the setting sun outside the window bored.
She was chewing a candied fruit, and the sweet taste spread from the tip of her tongue.
Just as she picked up the next one, she saw a tall figure appear in front of the moon cave.
Who else could it be if not Meng Jin?
He had changed out of his court attire and was wearing only a moon-white robe.
The maids and servants in the yard bowed to him when they saw him, and then he walked up to a senior maid and asked a few questions.
Wen Wan couldn't hear what they said because they were far away, but the maid kept looking towards the side room.
Wen Wan guessed that the two were probably discussing what she had done in the yard today.
She sneered, leaned over the windowsill and shouted, "Meng Jin, if you want to know something, just ask me. The maid can't explain it as carefully as I do."
Hearing this, Meng Jin frowned, then walked towards the wing room along the cobblestone path.
After entering the house, Meng Jin immediately asked, "Are you the headmaster of the Wen family business?"
Wen Wan played with the candied fruit in her hand and said with a smile, "Yes, I am. You've made a fortune, right? I'm so rich. If we're together, what's mine will be yours. You've made a fortune."
Meng Jin couldn't laugh at all. Since he was the queen's subordinate, he naturally knew the queen's plan.
This time, the promotion of women's education in the imperial capital was fueled by his own efforts.
So Meng Jin knew that Madam Lin contacted the Wen family business on behalf of the Queen.
Meng Jin's face was gloomy and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Wenwan sat up with a playful smile, handed the candied fruit in her hand to his lips, and said softly, "Come, eat some candied fruit to calm down."
It was rare for her to be so gentle towards Meng Jin, and Meng Jin looked at her in confusion.
Wen Wan sighed and looked at him cautiously: "The situation in the capital has changed. In these chaotic times, it is difficult for a woman like me to take a single step. I have thought about it carefully. Now that Lord Meng is in such a high position and has great power, it seems that only you can protect me."
This is the truth, and it is also the reason why Meng Jin has always felt that Wen Wan will accept him sooner or later.
But Wenwan's transformation was too fast, and he had to doubt it.
"How did you suddenly figure it out?"
Wen Wan coughed dryly, pursed her lips, and whispered, "I heard... the Queen is now the Queen Mother?"
The fact that the Crown Prince ascended the throne has been announced to the world today, so it is normal for people in the palace to let slip in front of her.
This was not a secret, so Meng Jin didn't care.
He just stared at Wen Wan: "As expected, you are the woman I like. You are very smart."
Wen Wan shook his sleeve in feigned fear: "Master Meng, you also know about the feud between me and the Empress Dowager. If she knew I was the owner of the Wen family business, she would definitely not let me go."
Wen Wan's eyes were red as she said humbly, "Master Meng, I know I was wrong. Please help me. I will give you all the money in the Wen family business as long as you save me..."
Meng Jin stared at Wen Wan with a half-smile, seeing both her fear and her flattery.
He raised his hand and pinched Wen Wan's chin, the smile on his lips gradually widening: "Xiao Wan, do you know how long I have been waiting for the day when you will give in?"
