Chapter 338: Wen Wan’s Worries

Hearing her daughter’s gentle voice, Wen Wan calmed down and sighed. She looked at Xiao Han again, and asked, "Did your father tell you about the Fan family? What is his arrangement for them?"

Xiao Han didn’t know why his mother asked this, so he shook his head and said, "Father didn’t say anything about them."

Listening to her youngest son’s answer, Wen Wan fell silent. Looking at their mother’s frowning face, Xiao Jing and Xiao Han exchanged glances.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Jing asked, "Mother, are you worried about Second Miss Fan?"

Wen Wan glanced at her daughter, sighed, and asked, "Did you notice that she is targeting your elder brother too?"

Xiao Jing nodded, while Xiao Han looked at them with a puzzled face, and asked curiously: "Did I miss something? Why did Fan Zhengyue target my elder brother? Is she tired of living?"

Xiao Jing looked at her younger brother and said, "It’s not that kind of targeting."

Xiao Han thought for a while, realized something and asked, "Could it be that mother and elder sister think that Fan Zhengyue has ulterior motives towards my elder brother?"

Xiao Jing chuckled and said, "I don’t think it’s an ulterior motive, but a shameless pursuit instead. Before my elder brother left, I saw her enter his room in the middle of the night, and she was kicked out one minute later."

Wen Wan was taken aback when she heard Xiao Jing’s words, and asked, "Really? How could she do something so shameless? Doesn’t she care about her reputation?"

Seeing her mother’s surprised look, Xiao Jing said, "I think she even wants her reputation ruined so she can marry my elder brother. Anyway, I think she is not suitable for my elder brother. She is too scheming, and she clearly doesn’t love my elder brother. She just wants the position and the glory of the main wife of the Supreme General."

Xiao Han is not stupid and he also noticed what Fan Zhengyue wanted to do these few months. Fortunately, their elder brother wasn’t around and nothing really happened between them in the past. Otherwise, he would definitely vomit blood out of anger. Besides, he also knew who his elder brother really liked.

Looking at her daughter and youngest son’s expression, Wen Wan knew they didn’t like Fan Zhengyue. She thought for a while and said, "You two don’t have to worry about this matter. Leave it to your mother, and you should just focus on what you should do."

After finishing speaking, Wen Wan looked at Xiao Han and said, "Er Lang, go and pack your things."

Xiao Han nodded and said, "Then this son will take my leave first."

After Xiao Han left, Wen Wan pulled Xiao Jing to sit beside her, and asked, "Jing’er, do you know something?"

Xiao Jing thought for a while, then nodded as an answer. Wen Wan looked at her hesitant expression and asked, "It’s too difficult to tell mother?"

Hearing what her mother said, Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, and said, "It’s not difficult to tell mother. It’s just... I don’t want to slander others behind their backs."

Knowing her daughter’s personality, Wen Wan patted her hand and said, "Mother understands, but this matter is very important for your elder brother. If you know something, you have to tell your mother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to deal with this matter."

Thinking about her mother’s words, Xiao Jing finally said, "The first time I knew Fan Zhengyue’s thoughts for my elder brother was after Miss Xu fell into the deep ravine. At that time, she thought no one saw it, but I saw her smile when she watched Miss Xu fall down."

Wen Wan was taken aback when she heard Xiao Jing’s words, and said, "She saw Miss Xu fall... How can she still laugh? She is still alive and well until now, all because Miss Xu saved her that night. How could... How could she..."

Looking at her mother’s speechless expression, Xiao Jing shook her head and said, "I don’t know. Later, when our food and water ran out, I found the money hidden by Miss Xu in the mule cart. When my elder brother and Er Lang went to buy supplies, Fan Zhengyue suggested that I help her secretly meet my elder brother, but I refused. At that time, she looked at me with malicious eyes."

Recalling that time, Xiao Jing said, "I’m amazed that the famous gentle Second Miss Fan can look at someone with that kind of eyes. If someone didn’t know, they would think that I have killed all her family."

This time, after listening to Xiao Jing’s words, Wen Wan fell into deep thought. When they lived in this hidden village, Old Madam Fan and Second Madam Fan had hinted to her countless times. Their intention to tie up the two families through marriage was so obvious that even Wen Wan felt embarrassed.

Seeing her mother’s entanglement, Xiao Jing held her mother’s hands and said, "Mother, don’t worry about this matter. As far as I know, my elder brother already has someone in his heart, and he didn’t have any intention towards Fan Zhengyue. Now, we should focus more on the incoming war."

Recalling the conversation with her husband last night, Wen Wan looked out the window and sighed sadly. With war looming around them, her husband hasn’t told the children about their paternal aunt’s death yet, but she knows they will know very soon.

This matter, no matter how hard they tried to keep it as a secret, it was of no use. In a day or two, the death of the Empress Dowager of the Shang Empire will be known all over the world.

She patted her daughter’s hand and said, "Let’s pack up quickly."

While the mother and daughter were busy packing their luggage, Fan Zhengyue was arguing with her elder brother at Fan family’s house.

Fan Zhengyue stood in front of her brother, looking at him with red eyes and asked, "Are you really not taking me with you?"
