Chapter 1071 Wan Family
The back residence of the Feng family.
Wan Qianshan also wanted to come in, but Ao Xue and her men stood guard at the door to block his way. "Young Master Wan, please wait."
"My sister is inside, I need to see my sister."
"With my master here, your sister is safe and sound."
Wan Qianshan was speechless. "They fought because of Brother Ruan. Is Brother Ruan inside too? What kind of behavior is it for a man to be inside with two women? I need to go in and be with my sister. She's crying."
“Miss Wan will stop crying when she’s tired of it,” Ao Xue said.
Ao Xue moved her sword slightly, and Wan Qianshan immediately took a big step back. He glanced at the people in front of him and thought to himself, "Are these all Brother Ruan's men? Who are they? They look so fierce."
At this moment, Feng Qingyu sent someone to take Wan Qianshan away.
Wan Qian reluctantly followed, asking, "Just who exactly is Brother Ruan?"
"Naturally, you are a distinguished guest of our Feng family. Uncle Jiu heard that Young Master Wan had arrived and specially asked my family to invite you over." The person who came was Feng Jing, who was Jiang Fenghua's cousin of the same generation.
When Wan Qianqian heard that Feng Qingyu wanted to see him, he also wanted to ask Feng Qingyu for clarification.
Inside the room, all that could be heard was Wan Qianzi's heart-wrenching sobs.
Bai Yuhan didn't know what was making her sad or upset. She felt a surge of anger and wanted to go up and beat her up again. "Not only is she ugly, but her crying is also really awful."
Jiang Fenghua wasn't afraid of the noise and said calmly, "She'll shut up when she's tired of crying."
She covered her ears. "Did your Bai family and the Wan family have some kind of grudge before?"
Bai Yuhan sighed, "Our two families do indeed have an irreconcilable feud, and we will never have anything to do with each other again."
Jiang Fenghua found it strange, "Aside from the hatred of killing one's relatives and the hatred of having one's wife stolen, we are all businessmen, what can't we get over?"
Bai Yuhan, in a gossipy tone, said, "The Bai family and the Wan family were indeed related by marriage. It all happened a long time ago. One of my aunts married into the Wan family. The Wan family did something to wrong my aunt, which caused a huge uproar, and they eventually divorced. After returning home, my aunt committed suicide. The Wan family killed one of our members, and that's how the feud started. But later, the Wan family also lost two lives."
Jiang Fenghua became interested. "How come someone died again?"
"The story is a long one. It started when my aunt's brother went to the Wan family to demand an explanation. The unfaithful man in the Wan family married that woman outside and made her his legal wife. She even had a child with him. My aunt's brother was so angry that he beat the unfaithful man and that woman to death. In the end, the matter escalated, and my uncle from the Bai family was also imprisoned. From then on, the two families kept to themselves and never spoke to each other again."
My aunt gave birth to two children in the Wan family, and because of this, she couldn't hold her head high in the Wan family. The two cousins were the most hurt by this; the Wan family forbade them from contacting the Bai family. As a result, business dealings between the Bai and Wan families ceased, kinship was severed, and their relationship became irreconcilable.
Jiang Fenghua said, "So you deliberately said I was your husband just now to upset her."
At this moment, Wan Qianzi was truly exhausted from crying. Her eyes were red as she stared at Jiang Fenghua's face. "So Brother Ruan isn't..."
Jiang Fenghua took Wan Qianzi's hand and said softly, "When have you ever heard me say that I'm a man, Qianzi?"
“You’ve always dressed as a man, so aren’t you a man?” She wanted to cry again. “Why aren’t you a man? I’ve liked you since I was seven, and I’ve been waiting for you.”
Bai Yuhan said, "Even if Aruan were a man, she wouldn't marry you."
Wan Qianzi only realized it now, "So you didn't marry Ruan..." her brother.
"So what if I'm not married? Ah Ruan and I are best friends, best sisters, sworn sisters. And you? You rascal."
"I...you're the one who's annoying." Wan Qianzi was furious.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Yuhan, don't make Miss Wan sad. The hatred between you and the Wan family during the day has nothing to do with you. There's no need to make it seem like you're enemies."
Bai Yuhan didn't try to provoke her anymore. Although Wan Qianzi had a bit of a temper, she wasn't actually that annoying.
On one occasion, Bai Yuhan even saw Wan Qianzi giving steamed buns to a little beggar.
Wan Qianzi stared at Jiang Fenghua's face. "I knew before that Sister Ruan was beautiful, but I've never seen such a handsome young man before. I never thought he was actually a young woman. May I call you Sister Ruan?"
“Of course I can. I’m wearing men’s clothes because I don’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so could Qianzi help me keep it a secret?” Jiang Fenghua said.
Wan Qianzi wondered, "Why did Sister Ruan wear men's clothes since she was little, and why is she still wearing men's clothes now that she's grown up? You must look very beautiful in women's clothes. I have many beautiful dresses that I can give to Sister Ruan. Sister Ruan must be the most beautiful woman in the world."
Wan Qianzi chattered on and on; she was indeed an innocent and carefree girl. She was willing to be kind to anyone she liked.
Jiang Fenghua looked like Bai Yuhan.
Bai Yuhan quickly smoothed things over, "Do you think Aruan is as bored as us, bickering and arguing all the time? She has important things to do, and she's always out and about dressed like a butterfly, all dressed up like you..."
“You…” Wan Qianzi said angrily.
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'a riot of colors'? Is it something that makes you so angry?"
Bai Yuhan explained, "It's also because of her name. Wan Qianshan's name comes from 'ten thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers,' and Wan Qianzi's name comes from 'ten thousand purples and ten thousand reds.' She used to be called Wan Qianhong, which was really awful, so she changed her name to Wan Qianzi. There are also people in her family named Wan Qianli and Wan Qianjun..."
Bai Yuhan laughed as she spoke, until her stomach hurt from laughing so much.
Jiang Fenghua didn't find it funny at all; Wan Qian's face turned green with anger.
After laughing, Bai Yuhan said, "Isn't it funny? Everyone thinks it's funny!"
Jiang Fenghua shook her head. "It's not funny."
"They might be surnamed Wan, so the Wan family used idioms related to the character Wan in their names. They are all characters with good meanings, so what's so funny about them?"
Wan Qianzi was instantly moved after hearing this, "Sister Ruan, do you really think it sounds good?"
“Of course it sounds good, Sister Qianzi, you don’t need to care too much about what others think.” Jiang Fenghua’s eyes were full of determination.
Wan Qianzi suddenly gained confidence, "I also think it sounds great."
Hongxiu went to find two sets of clothes. "Miss, please change into clean dresses. They are new dresses that my young lady has never worn before."
Wan Qianzi looked at the dress that Hongxiu had brought and exclaimed, "What a beautiful dress! I've never seen such a beautiful dress in Yuzhou before. Is it a style from Shengjing? Is Sister Ruan from Shengjing?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "We came from Shengjing."
"Are the guards outside with knives also Sister Ruan's men?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "They are all my guards. They are just ordinary people. My family is worried about my safety when I go out, so they sent people to protect me. Sister Qianzi, you don't need to be surprised."
"It turns out that Sister Ruan's family is also very wealthy and influential."
Wan Qianzi only now realized that the "Sister Ruan" in front of her was different.
Jiang Fenghua wanted to get to know more wealthy merchants and win over Wan Jia. She believed that the imperial court and merchants should cooperate more, help each other, and grow together.
