Chapter 340: Asking for forgiveness
Half an incense stick ago.
Wen Bai, who was searching the Lin Mansion, received a message from a servant saying that the secret guards of the Empress were going to the main room of the Wen Mansion to arrest someone.
He handed over the task of searching the Lin Mansion to his trusted confidant and immediately quickened his pace back to the Wen Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the Wen Mansion, he saw four or five people wearing evil ghost masks, escorting his uncle and cousin towards the main gate of the Wen Mansion.
"Everyone," Wen Bai bowed and took a few quick steps, "This is,"
The evil ghost mask took out a stack of papers from his arms without any hesitation.
Wen Bai took it with shaking hands, and his face turned cold when he saw the contents clearly.
He looked at his uncle and cousin, then at his aunt and younger cousin following behind them, only to see that both of them had stern expressions.
"Is this a mistake?"
Wen Miao stepped forward quickly, greeted Wen Bai, and spoke very quickly, "Cousin, my father and elder brother disregarded the law and lent money at high interest rates. The evidence is irrefutable."
The word "misunderstanding" that Wen Bai almost blurted out was stuck in his throat. He lowered his head slightly and looked at his little cousin who was not even eighteen years old.
Wen Miao continued, "Your Majesty not only found evidence that my father and elder brother lent money at high interest, but also found evidence that my grandparents were covering for them."
"At this moment, the Lin family's secret guards are staring at them."
"Cousin," Wen Miao lowered his voice, "Did you offend His Majesty today?"
She looked at Wen Bai without any emotion, "If I have really offended His Majesty, please go and apologize as soon as possible, cousin."
"Cousin, I normally don't comment too much on your behavior, but even though Her Majesty the Empress is a young woman."
"But please remember that she is now the legitimate emperor of Daxia."
"She is the emperor who unified the five continents of Daxia. No matter what you really think of her, the imperial power cannot be underestimated."
Wen Miao's words were very impolite. Even though Uncle Wen was being held by the secret guards, he was very displeased when he heard his daughter's words.
"How dare you," he scolded his daughter. "How dare a girl like you say such things? Why don't you apologize to your cousin?"
Wen Miao ignored his father, but looked at Wen Bai deeply, then took his mother's hand and walked back.
Uncle Wen was furious at being ignored by his daughter, but the secret guard increased the force on his hand.
He gasped in pain and had to shut his mouth and stop scolding his daughter.
Wen Bai gave his uncle a reassuring look and turned to walk towards the courtyard where Zhang Tianzhen was temporarily staying.
At this time, he was wearing a thin inner garment, carrying two whips on his back, kneeling in front of the gate of Zhang's mansion, asking for forgiveness with Her Majesty the Empress.
Qian Qian snorted after hearing the secret guard's report, "Tongzi, was this Wen Bai's own idea?"
[Of course not, the idea was proposed by Wen Miao and she also reminded Wen Bai.]
[Wen Bai was reminded by Wen Miao that he had accidentally offended you.]
[He didn't expect that you, the little empress, would hold grudges so hard.]
Qian Qian curled his lips and looked at the secret guard, "Go out and tell him that I will deal with Uncle Wen and his son according to the law. As for his overstepping of authority just now."
After a pause, his expression was quite amusing, "If he can support Wen Miao to become the Lord of Haocheng, I will not pursue his crime of disrespect."
After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the secret guard to pass on the message.
Zhang Tianzhen was speechless as she looked at the little empress, stammering as if she wanted to say something.
Qian Qian tilted his head to look at Zhang Tianzhen, who had lost a lot of weight, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Zhang Tianzhen sighed softly, "Your Majesty has a keen eye, but is he being too radical?"
"The Wen family,"
Qian Qian sneered, "I can't believe that one day I would hear the word radical from Zhang Tianzhen's mouth?"
"You," pointing at Zhang Tianzhen, "be normal for me."
"You are not the type to act so timid and cautious, Zhang Tianzhen."
"Tsk," Qian Qian turned and walked towards the main hall, "After coming to Haocheng, your temper has become worse."
Zhang Tianzhen...
I instinctively wanted to sigh, but stopped myself when I thought of something.
After entering the room, Qianqian used the power of the system to create a protective shield and then invited Xiao Erdan out of the space.
She touched Xiao Erdan's head and said, "I heard that you and Zhang Tianzhen are destined to be together? Let's go out and take a look."
Xiao Erdan's light grey eyes flashed, and he turned and left the main hall.
He had a face-to-face fight with Zhang Tianzhen who was about to come in.
"Ah," Zhang Tianzhen was startled and took a step back and fell on his butt.
Xiao Erdan looked down at him with disdain in his eyes, "Roar."
With a low growl, he bit his belt and dragged him up, then shook his head.
Teng.
Zhang Tianzhen was gently thrown by Xiao Erdan to the edge of the courtyard wall and fell face down on the ground.
The money that came out of the main hall...
[Tongzi, fate? That's it?]
system……
[Well, there is a saying that goes, “No fight, no friendship.”]
"Ouch."
Before the system could finish its sentence, Xiao Erdan ran towards Zhang Tianzhen and bit his butt.
"Well," Qian Qian crossed his arms and smiled, "You know what, Master Zhang's butt is quite perky."
"Hooho."
Xiao Erdan grinned at Qianqian and took another bite.
"Ah," Zhang Tianzhen was about to collapse from his gloomy mood for many days, "Are you sick in the brain, wolf?"
"One bite is enough, you still want to give me a symmetrical one?"
"Ah," Zhang Tianzhen suddenly got up from the ground and slapped Xiao Erdan on the forehead, "If I don't show my power, ah——"
I saw Xiao Erdan holding Zhang Tianzhen's head and winking at Qianqian.
[Uh,] Qianqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, [Tongzi, is it okay? ]
[Will Xiao Erdan kill Zhang Tianzhen? ]
[Haha,] the system also smiled bitterly, [That's it, Xiao Erdan might have misunderstood.]
【It probably thought you found it a pet. 】
Money money...
"Hahaha, no wonder Xiao Erdan is so aloof, does it mean he always thought he was the odd one out in the family?"
"He thinks he's a human being."
[That’s right,] the system also found it funny, [Xiao Erdan has been incompatible with the wolf in his family since he was a child.]
[It behaves very lonely at home. It really can't understand why a good human like itself should live with wolves.]
"Hahaha," Qian Qian laughed, no longer caring about Zhang Tianzhen who was almost going crazy because of the torture by Xiao Erdan.
Turning around and leaving his yard, [Tongzi, where is Wen Bai? ]
【I suddenly want to meet him. 】
[The thorns on his back have been removed by the secret guards,] the system said, [and he has applied medicine, changed his clothes and is waiting at the gate of Zhang's house.]
[He was very dissatisfied in his heart.]
【Ha,】 Qian Qian sneered, 【Do I care whether he is convinced or not?】
As they were talking, they arrived at the gate of Zhang's house and saw Wen Bai standing there with a frosty face.
"There are two options," Qian Qian didn't even look at him, "either the Wen family is like some other aristocratic families with ill intentions and is completely eradicated."
"Or, Wen Bai, you should fully support Wen Miao and let her become the new mayor of Haocheng."
"Wen Bai," Qian Qian looked up at the unpredictable middle-aged man, "I have never made a mistake in judging people. Wen Miao is more suitable to be the lord of Haocheng than anyone else in your Wen family."
"It's up to you."
After a long while, Wen Bai finally managed a forced smile.
He muttered under his breath, "Do I have a choice?"
When he looked up again, the Empress was no longer there.
Walking on the bustling streets of Haocheng, Qianqian asked, "Tongzi, what will Wen Bai do in the end?"
[He would go to talk to Wen Miao, and finally be impressed by Wen Miao's vision and talent, and willingly become Wen Miao's deputy. ]
【That's good. 】
[However,] the system's voice was cold, [Wen Miao's father and brother cannot stay, otherwise,]
Qian Qian paused and looked at the girl who was blocking her way.
The girl had a painful look on her face, and she knelt on the ground with her knees straight. "I am Wen Miao, the eldest daughter of the Wen family. I beg Her Majesty to let my father and brother go..."
