Chapter 82 Childhood Sweethearts
Childhood sweethearts.
Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat.
If Meng Jin and the original owner had this kind of relationship, then there would be real trouble.
Regardless of whether the original owner had feelings for him or not, this affection was not something she should bear now.
Wen Wan: "Actually, my injury was just an accident."
Meng Jin said in a deep voice: "If your parents hadn't sold you to a wealthy family as a concubine, this accident wouldn't have happened."
It turns out that she was sold as a concubine.
Wen Wan pursed her lips and was about to cover up a few things.
Before she could say anything, Meng Jin picked her up and jumped out of the window.
Wen Wan only felt her body floating in the air, with the wind whistling past her ears. When she came to her senses, she had already been stuffed into a carriage by him.
"Your servant, Agui, is quite skilled. I had to put in quite a bit of effort to distract him."
Wen Wan's face darkened. "Did you arrange all the waiters? Your opera troupe has never left the border town."
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. "You're not from the troupe either, are you?"
"Yes." Meng Jin admitted it readily.
"I know you've lost your memory and you must have a lot of questions right now, but this isn't the time to talk. Once we get to a safe place, I'll tell you everything."
After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand. When his fingertips were about to touch Wen Wan's cheek, he saw her slightly frightened expression.
"You're afraid of me..." Meng Jin murmured in frustration, his eyes darkening as he said gently, "Xiao Wan, don't be afraid. I will never hurt you."
Wen Wan: “…”
She didn't know what to say. She was not the original owner, and it was really hard for her to accept this sudden deep affection.

No one knew what road the carriage was taking, but it was bumpy and made Wen Wan dizzy.
After the carriage stopped, Wen Wan's face turned a little pale.
Meng Jin was about to carry her out of the carriage, but as soon as his hand touched Wen Wan, she hid in the corner.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Jin's hands froze in the air. "I'll carry you in."
Wen Wan frowned, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'll go by myself."
Meng Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
With his help, Wen Wan groped her way out of the carriage.
"There are steps ahead."
Meng Jin carefully helped her into the courtyard.
This is an independent small courtyard. It is not big and is very clean. The props of the opera troupe are piled up in the corner of the courtyard.
Several young men in tight clothes were practicing in the yard. When they saw Meng Jin coming in holding a girl, they looked at each other in surprise.
"Master Meng, this is..."
Meng Jin raised her head, her beautiful face full of smiles, "This is my future daughter-in-law."
Wen Wan: “…”
Is it so direct?
Did she agree?
When the young men heard this, they were all stunned. They only came to their senses after Meng Jin walked away.
The shorter one kicked the person next to him, and that person cried out in pain.
"You feel pain. It seems it's not a dream, nor is it our hallucination."
"Fuck you, if you want to see if you're dreaming, why don't you beat yourself up?"
"Is this important? Isn't the most important thing right now that Master Meng brought back a wife?"
"That's true. Everyone in the court and the country thought Lord Meng wasn't interested in women. So it turns out he has someone in his heart?"
"If this news gets back to the Imperial Capital, I'm afraid countless girls will die of grief."
"But, wasn't there something wrong with that girl's eyes just now?"
"That's impossible. Lord Meng doesn't even look down on so many famous ladies, but he only looks down on a blind girl?"
Several young people were shocked and gathered together to discuss the matter.
*
There was a faint smell of pine resin burning in the room, which was the favorite of scholars.
Wen Wan lowered her eyes, her thoughts still on the three words "Lord Meng".
The people in the yard before called Meng Jin "Master Meng".
This suddenly reminded her of someone.
Two years ago, two concubines came to the backyard of the general's mansion. It was said that they were beauties sent by the newly crowned top scholar, Lord Meng, to General Shen.
The new number one scholar at that time was named Meng Changqing.
Meng Jin poured hot tea for Wen Wan and said, "Drink some water. Ask whatever you want to ask."
Wen Wan held the hot tea and spoke softly, "Meng Jin, is Jin your name?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Jin's eyes, "Are you asking me if I'm Meng Changqing?"
Wenwan's fingertips trembled slightly and she nodded gently.
Meng Jin smiled appreciatively. "I'm Meng Changqing. Jin is my nickname. It's the nickname you've been used to calling me since you were little. To you, I'm not Meng Changqing, I'm just Meng Jin."
The number one scholar two years ago, and now the prime minister’s favorite student, Meng Changqing, the Minister of Revenue.
It really is him.
Wen Wan tactically took a sip of tea to hide the shock on her face.
Her silence made Meng Jin's eyes gradually dim.
She didn't seem to care who he was.
He would rather she resent him and hate him than treat him as an insignificant person.
Meng Jin said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wan, it was my fault back then."
"I've studied the classics for over a decade, but I'm unwilling to enter the government, unwilling to bow down for a few ounces of silver. I'm so focused on my own integrity that I've forgotten that you, a girl, also need a stable life."
His regret was written on his face, but unfortunately Wen Wan couldn't see it.
"I followed my master and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Duanchao, seeing all the beautiful scenery. Only when I returned to my hometown did I find out that your parents had sold you to a wealthy family as a concubine."
Having said that, he clenched his fists in anger.
Even after so much time, he still feels uneasy.
"After I got the news, I went to look for your parents. I originally wanted to ask them about your whereabouts. I didn't expect that when I arrived, your parents had already been killed by bandits. From then on, I lost all trace of you."
After hearing this, Wen Wan looked up in surprise and asked, "My parents are dead?"
Meng Jin: "Yes. When I went there, the government had already closed the case as robbery and murder by bandits. Your parents' bodies were collected by the government. At the beginning of the year, I helped build a new grave for them. When you return to your hometown, I will take you to pay your respects to them."
After a pause, he added, "As for the bandits who killed your parents, don't worry, I will personally kill them and avenge you."
Wen Wan really didn't expect that her life experience would be so rough, and she didn't expect that she had a childhood sweetheart who held a high position.
Wen Wan lowered her head, her tone cold and melancholy, "Minister Meng, I've heard of you. You're a favorite of the current emperor."
Meng Jin frowned slightly, "You used to call me Brother Jin."
"It's not appropriate." Wen Wan said, "It's not appropriate now. You are Master Meng, and I am a blind woman who finally escaped the status of a concubine. Do you think that with my status, I can still continue our relationship?"
"Xiao Wan, you would rather be the mistress of a small captain than come back to me?" Meng Jin asked harshly.
Junior lieutenant?
He knows about Achai's existence!
Wen Wan looked up in shock, her face cold, "What do you mean?"
