Chapter 84 True and False
Meng Jin frowned again when he saw Wen Wan's confused face.
He asked Ma Liu to go out first, and after closing the door, he spoke again.
"We have been investigating all the way, and today we found out that after the envoy Chen Yuan came to the border city, he stayed in your courtyard. Everyone in your courtyard has seen him, and not only that, you have also seen Xiang Nu."
"Xiang Nu?" Wen Wan was startled, "The Xiang Nu you are talking about is the old lady who fell in love with Chen Yuanshi?"
"That's right."
"Xiang Nu..." Wen Wan murmured these two words. It turned out that this was the old woman's name?
Meng Jin: "Before Chen Yuan left the palace, he discovered a secret, and this secret was his talisman."
Hearing this, Wen Wan's eyes darkened, and then thinking about his warning just now, her heart suddenly became cold.
"So, you came here to kill people and silence them?"
Meng Jin hesitated for a moment and then uttered one word.
"Yes."
Wen Wan's face turned pale, "So, you will kill everyone related to Chen Yuanshi and Xiang Nu? Including...me?"
"Of course it doesn't include you. So, I just asked you to keep your mouth shut. From now on, you have never seen Yuanshi Chen or Xiangnu."
His tone was firm, "I'm glad that I'm here to handle these things this time, otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to protect you."
He didn't dare to think that if he hadn't happened to meet Wen Wan in the border town, she might have become a dead soul by the sword.
Maybe the news he said was too shocking, so Wen Wan remained silent for a long time.
She asked timidly: "You mean, except for me, you will kill everyone else in my yard?"
Meng Jin's eyes darkened, "Xiaowan, I can't protect so many people. If I protect just you, I will take a huge risk."
"Ha," Wen Wan smiled sarcastically, "So, you want to kill everyone around me, but you keep me, and do I still need to thank you?"
Her cool tone made Meng Jin frown more and more.
"Xiao Wan..."
Wen Wan interrupted him, "Okay. I'm going back to my room to rest, please let me calm down!"
She stood up and groped out angrily.
After these two days of familiarization, she was able to go back to the room alone and familiarly.
Meng Jin stood up and tried to help her several times, but she slapped her hand away.
In the end, he could only watch Wen Wan return to the room and close the door in his face.
Meng Jin stood outside the door for a while, and a young man came over.
"Sir, Xiangnu's residence has been taken care of. None of the neighbors or people familiar with her are left alive."
The man glanced in the direction of Wenwan's house and said, "Now...only the people in Miss Xiaowan's yard are left..."
"I know." Meng Jin raised his hand to interrupt him, "That guy named Agui is very skilled. Let's get the brothers together and let's deal with it together. We must not let him run away. As for the little captain..."
After a pause, he raised his voice, "We are waiting in the border town. If he dies at the border, forget it. If he comes back alive, he will die when he enters the city."

The gentleness within a door makes it difficult to calm down for a long time.
There was no concealment in the conversation between Meng Jin and his subordinates.
She understood that he told her on purpose.
She wanted to kill all her thoughts and cut off all the branches and leaves she might be attached to.
Sure enough, a person who could climb to the position of Minister of Household Affairs at such a young age is not someone who only cares about the love between his children.
Even the stories he told about his relationship with the original owner may not be entirely true. Wen Wan felt chills running down her spine when she thought of Meng Jin leading people to kill A Gui and Shen Zhou.
She no longer cared that her eyesight had not fully recovered, and climbed onto the window sill without hesitation, preparing to climb out of the room and try to escape from the yard again.
Unfortunately, she still underestimated Meng Jin's caution.
Mother Liu was already waiting by the window. Behind her, there were two people from the theater troupe standing.
"Girl, why are you doing this?"
Mother Liu stepped forward to support Wen Wan, "Mr. Meng asked us to watch you carefully tonight. We will never let you have a chance to leave this courtyard."
She persuaded her earnestly, "Girl, you have bad eyesight. Not only does Mr. Meng not dislike you, but he is always caring for you. If you are like this, how can you live even if you escape from this yard?"
"Listen to Mother Liu's advice and just save your worries. Mr. Meng is a good man and he will treat you well."
For a moment, Wen Wan felt a sense of fear in her heart.
How does Meng Jin manage his image?
He obviously killed so many innocent people and silenced them with just a raise of his hand, but the people who followed him could still keep saying that he was a good person?
Some people are naturally good at acting and politics, and perhaps Meng Jin is one of the best.
Even when Wen Wan first met him, she was deceived by his affectionate appearance and almost thought he was a gentleman.

Wen Wan sneered, too lazy to argue with her.
Their positions are different, and no matter how polite and caring they are to her, they still cannot change their hostile stance.
After failing to escape, Liu's mother closed the window again and asked people to guard the window and door before leaving the room.
As soon as she stepped forward, Wen Wan sat up.
She stared blankly in the direction of the window, her eyes red and her voice choked.
"Agui, Shen Zhou, did you find this place first, or did Meng Jin find you first?"
It turns out that when human beings are helpless, they can really only place all their hopes on prayer.

Wen Wan kept her eyes open until dawn, but did not wait for Shen Zhou and A Gui.
As the sky dawned, the person who strode in through the door was Meng Jin.
He seemed to have gone through a fierce battle, and when he entered, he had a strong smell of blood on his body.
Mother Liu filled some hot water for him, and while he was cleaning his hands, he glanced back at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan's lips trembled, not daring to ask him what the outcome of this trip was.
Meng Jin wiped his hands with cotton cloth before walking to the bed.
He said to Wen Wan condescendingly: "Xiao Wan, from now on, I will take good care of you."
He said what he thought was affectionate words, but to Wen Wan, every word of these words was like a knife, cutting into her heart, causing bone-piercing pain.
Her nose felt sore and she couldn't help but start crying.
When tears fell, she raised her hand and slapped Meng Jin on the face.
"Crazy!"
He killed everyone around her and still had the nerve to say that he would take care of her for the rest of his life.
Meng Jin sneered, touched his cheek, and smiled instead of angry.
"I am indeed crazy."
He raised his hand angrily and pinched Wen Wan's chin, "If I wasn't crazy, how could I, a kid from a remote country, climb to a high position?"
"Back then, your parents disliked my poverty and sold you to a rich family as a concubine while I was traveling with my master. Do you know how I survived when I returned to my hometown and learned everything?"
