948 The Wen Family

“Bang!” Wen Yujing was once again furious. She threw away all the cups on the table. Then, she clenched her hands into fists. Her eight fingers dug deep into her skin, and blood instantly flowed out of her skin.

Her narrow eyes burst out with intense anger. Her snake-like eyes, which were dipped in poison, stared fiercely at the black head on the ground.

The head belonged to Butler Wen.

The Wen family was Wen Yujing’s maternal family.

Before Wen Yujing married Duke Zhengguo Mansion, she was only the daughter of a small merchant in the capital. In the eyes of the people in the capital, her status was low.

Originally, with her identity, she had no right to marry into Duke zhengguo’s mansion and even became the matriarch of Duke zhengguo’s mansion.

However, Wen Yujing had means. As the daughter of a small merchant, she married into Duke zhengguo’s mansion and not as a concubine but as a second wife, a powerful and influential wife.

Moreover, she had the means to grasp the heart of the Duke, Jiang Yunfeng, firmly. For more than 20 years, she had never fallen out of favor.

Not only that, after Wen Yujing married into Duke zhengguo’s mansion, the small merchant Wen family also rose with the tide.

Under the support of Duke Zhengguo Manor, the Wen family quickly rose up and became a famous big merchant family in the capital. Not only that, under the double guarantee of power and money, whether it was the main branch of the Wen family or the side branches, there were people who began to become officials.

Although they were not high-ranking officials, they slowly walked onto the path of a powerful bureaucracy.

The people of the Wen family had to rely on Wen Yujing, so of course, they had to flatter her.

Wen Yujing had to rely on the Wen family’s money to bribe others, so she didn’t dare to offend the Wen family.

However, this time, Wen Yujing’s family was extremely angry with her.

Not long ago, Guo Bing had listened to Jiang Zhennan’s instructions. He took the head of Butler Wen, called a few subordinates from the General’s Office, and then went to the Wen family in a mighty manner.

Some people knew Guo Bing and the others and recognized that they were from the General’s residence. Looking at the situation, it seemed that something had happened. Many people followed behind Guo Bing and the others out of curiosity, wanting to see the show.

Hence, more and more people gathered.

When they arrived at the Wen residence, almost half the street from the General’s residence to the Wen residence followed them.

As soon as they arrived at the Wen residence, Guo Bing and the others knocked on the door without any restraint.

The person who opened the door did not know Guo Bing and the others.

When he saw someone he didn’t know, he thought that they were vulgar.

Therefore, when facing Guo Bing and the others, they naturally felt superior.

“Who are you guys?” The servant who opened the door had his nose up in the air and asked with disdain, “why don’t you take a look at where you are? This is the Wen mansion, the home of Duke Zhengguo’s wife’s maiden family. Is this a place you can step into? Leave!”

As he spoke, he pulled the door open and closed it.

Guo Bing shouted, ” Hmph, I don’t care about who your madam is. Go and tell your master that the defender-general of the state has a gift for you!”

With that, Guo Bing lifted the thing in his hand, the head wrapped in black cloth, and immediately threw it into the Wen residence’s door.

In the end, perhaps the black cloth wasn’t tied firmly, or perhaps it was deliberately not tied firmly, but in short, the black cloth unraveled.

A bloody head was immediately exposed in front of everyone.

The hair on the head was disheveled, but under the disheveled hair was an extremely pale and bloodless face. The fear, panic, malevolence, and twisted expression on the face were immediately revealed to everyone.

It was terrifying!

Some people who were as timid as mice immediately fainted from fear.

The servant who opened the door was the closest to the head. He was so scared that he fell to the ground, his face extremely pale and his expression terrified.

“Ah …”

He widened his eyes in horror and pointed at Guo Bing and the others. He trembled and was so scared that he couldn’t speak. “You … You guys …”

Guo Bing sneered, “What? If you don’t report this to your master, your head will be here the next moment!”

When the servant heard this, he was so scared that he didn’t dare to say anything. He carried his limp body and ran back.

A moment later, a wealthy-looking old man dressed in luxurious clothes hurried over. He cursed as he spoke, ” I’d like to see who has the guts to come and cause trouble for our Wen family!”

On his left and right were two middle-aged men. They were all dressed luxuriously and looked very wealthy. Their faces were somewhat similar to Wen Yujing’s, and it was obvious that they were her brothers.

When Guo Bing saw that old master Wen had come out, he immediately sneered and said, “Old master Wen, your family is allowed to cause trouble at other people’s places but not the other way around? How overbearing, how shameless. Even the royal family of the capital wouldn’t dare to do that, right?”

Old master Wen didn’t recognize Guo Bing at first, but when Guo Bing said these words, he finally recognized him.

For a moment, he was very surprised. He pointed at Guo Bing angrily and stuttered, “You … You …”

The middle-aged man on the left, who was supporting the old man, saw the bloody head on the ground and immediately screamed in fear. He let go of his hand and took a few steps back.

With his exclamation, everyone immediately noticed the head inside the threshold. Except for the old man of the Wen family, who was still calm, the others were all scared pale.

“Ah, little brother!” Butler Wen of the Wen family was the first to react. He recognized that this was his younger brother and immediately burst into tears. “brother, how did you become like this? Who killed you?”

Old master Wen looked at the head and then at Guo Bing outside the door. He immediately realized what was going on and pointed at Guo Bing angrily. “Did you kill him?”

Guo Bing was not afraid or angry at all. Instead, he said coldly, ” Oh, it seems that this person is indeed from your Wen family. Then I don’t need to confirm anything.” Then, he changed the topic and said sternly, “old master Wen, this man was killed by the general. As for a reason, it was just to clean the Wen family’s pests. This servant decided to bully his master and had no respect for the great general at all. He even said that he wanted the young lady of the Wen family to teach the general a lesson. Hehe, this is the first time I’ve heard of a servant teaching his master a lesson. Old master Wen, if outsiders heard that, wouldn’t they think the Wen family was purposely trying to insult the great general?

“So, for the Wen family’s safety, our general personally helped you to get rid of this pest.”

Having said that, Guo Bing and the others turned to leave. Before they left, they added, ” Oh, right, my general said that you don’t have to thank him!”

After hearing Guo Bing’s words, old master Wen and the people of the Wen family were shocked, angry, and panicked. Their faces turned green and white and then white and green again, but they could not do anything in public.

In the end, the Wen family was so angry that they vented their grievances to Wen Yujing.

Wen Yujing gritted her teeth and said resentfully, ” Jiang Zhennan, I, Wen Yujing, will never forgive you! In the capital, there can only be one of us!”
