Chapter 246: Hiding something secretly?
Chapter 246: Hiding something secretly?
Wen Meijiu didn't want to keep Art, but she felt that it was not appropriate to drive Art away in front of Prince Wang.
There are guards on both sides. Although Art came here by begging for mercy, would slapping Art in the face in public and driving him away make enemies for himself and his fellow villagers?
Thinking of this, Wen Meijiu felt that it would be better to slow down the matter, at least not at this time. He could not drive Art and the others away by saying that he would obey their wishes and stop the dispute.
She wanted to wait until things cooled down, then find an opportunity to talk it over with Art alone, so that he would feel better and maybe they could part ways amicably.
Wen Meijiu's hesitation annoyed Agu, who rushed up and questioned Wen Meijiu:
"Miss Wen, I respect you, but you've gone too far.
What on earth do you want to do, keeping our master on suspense while listening to the orders of this pretty boy?
Today, you must explain yourself clearly to me, otherwise, we will not agree."
Where does this come from?
Not only Wen Meijiu was shocked, but everyone at the scene was shocked!
This statement includes Wen Meijiu, Art, and Prince Wang all at once, so don't be too explosive.
"Ah! It's obviously that Art who likes our wine, but now it's our wine that's hanging him, this is too outrageous."
Those who understand the taste of fine wine all think this way.
"She looks so flirty, it turns out she's two-timing, now she's screwed!"
Those who hate Wen Meijiu would naturally take advantage of her misfortune and throw dirty water on her at this important moment.
"Shut up, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
"Why is there a story about that young man here?"
Most people were confused. All they knew was that Young Master Wang was Lao Li’s nephew and that he came here to recuperate. So how could he have an affair with Wen Meijiu?
To be honest, it was the first time in her life that she was slandered and questioned in front of so many people.
Her face turned slightly red for a moment. She glanced at Prince Wang, who drooped his eyelashes slightly and seemed unmoved. Then she looked at Art, who seemed to agree with what Agu said, but just frowned.
Not one of the two grown men stood up to clarify for her, which made Wen Meijiu extremely angry.
Grabbing the whip from the village chief, Wen Meijiu lashed it hard on the ground, causing everyone to jump back in fear.
Wen Meijiu gritted his teeth and warned Agu:
"Bullshit, I don't like anyone. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up."
Throwing the whip on the ground, Wen Meijiu turned around and left angrily.
The village chief argued with Agu in the back and asked him to apologize to Wen Meijiu, while Arte and Zhizheng chased after Wen Meijiu one after another.
To be honest, Wen Meijiu was already very angry, but she still retained a bit of rationality.
If we drive away Arte and Prince Wang and the others because of this little thing, the consequences will be serious. After all, the road to escape famine is not peaceful now and they are really needed.
"Who asked you to follow me?"
Zhizheng was trying to run with Art while yelling at him in dissatisfaction.
In Zhizheng's heart, Art was not worthy of Wen Meijiu at all, so what right did he have to keep pestering her?
If he hadn't taken Wen Meijiu's thoughts into consideration, and if he hadn't the final say here, he would have beaten Art up.
Because of him, Miss Wen was so angry, and it became much more difficult to stop the quarrel.
"None of your business! You lackey, you only know how to listen to others. Is that pretty boy your father?"
Art has always been used to being casual, because he likes warm wine, he can tolerate it, but it doesn't mean he can tolerate anyone.
This guy who stopped fighting, he used to think he was a real person, but now he seems like a slave.
If he said that he liked warm wine, Art could understand it, but now he was actually listening to the orders of that pretty boy and old man Li, he looked down on Zhizheng from the bottom of his heart.
Zhizheng only knew that Art was rude, but he didn't expect that he was even more malicious than him.
"He's not my father, but he's definitely your father."
Get lost! Zhi Zheng felt that there was no point in arguing with this kind of person, so he reached out and pushed Art aside.
Art was no pushover either, and he pushed back immediately. The two of them fought back and forth, and were worried about losing each other, so they kept entangled all the way.
When we arrived at the stable in the backyard, Dazhu had already helped to harness the carriage and was waiting to warm the wine.
Wen Meijiu took the reins from his hand, got on the carriage without saying a word, whipped the horse's back, and the horse raised its hooves and walked out.
Zhi Zheng and Art, who had caught up, saw that something was not right, so they chased the carriage out of the backyard and all the way to the door of the inn in front.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Art, Zhi Zheng put two fingers in his mouth and whistled into the air.
Several people carrying a lot of things blocked Wen Meijiu's carriage, forcing Wen Meijiu to stop.
"Miss Wen, this is what we found. Gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables are all in there, not a single thing missing."
Zhi Zheng finally found an opportunity to talk to Wen Meijiu. While Wen Meijiu's carriage was stopped, he waved his hand and asked someone to carry him to the back of the carriage.
Wen Meijiu glanced at him and didn't speak immediately.
These things were originally obtained by her with all her hard work, she just used Zhizheng's help.
As for the credit, it wouldn't matter if some was given to Prince Wang, but now he gave it all to her, probably to shut her up so that she would have nothing to say.
"There's no room here, so put the carriage behind you on it."
Wen Meijiu didn't say he would take all the wine, nor did he say he would not take any, which made Zhi Zheng feel a little embarrassed.
Sitting in the carriage that Wen Meijiu was driving now were his father, mother, Jinxiang and Lanling.
There was no one in Dazhu's car yet. According to the original situation, Prince Wang and the others should be sitting in the car behind.
Zhi Zheng looked at Wen Meijiu's expression and didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that something might happen at this critical juncture. He quickly asked someone to put the things at the back of the car.
"Wait a minute, there's something missing from the little red box. Where did it go?"
Without waiting for Zhizheng and the others to take action, Art was the first to jump out and question them, and finally he found Zhizheng and the others' flaw.
If he hadn't been smart, he wouldn't have seen Zhi Zheng and the others stealthily hiding the little red box when he came out, and the warm wine would have been tricked by them.
"What little red box? What nonsense are you talking about?"
It's really a bit annoying to stop arguing.
This also caught Wen Meijiu's attention. He turned around and looked at Zhi Zheng. There was no expression in his eyes, but he cared in his heart.
She didn't care about that, but she felt that if Zhi Zheng really did this, it meant that Prince Wang wanted to do this. Wasn't this hiding something from her?
If you are hiding something from her, why do you have to act so openly in front of her and not ask for anything? Are you trying to fool her?
