Chapter 629: Chapter 628 Venting Personal Anger
Wen Congrui lifted his head to look over, and she was dressed in a pale pinkish-blue Luo skirt, her hair casually gathered and bound with a string of pearls, exuding a mix of laziness and charm.
A year had passed, and the young girl seed to have grown so more; her facial features had matured. With every move she made, she appeared more composed, self-assured, and radiantly captivating.
His eyes flashed as he said, “Wufu, what does he want
to ask? Why did you have your uncle and aunt thrown into jail during the New Year? I believe Wufu is a man of clear-cut grudges. You must have had your reasons for taking this action.”
Wufu had thrown the two into jail, and he had received the news earlier on, citing theft as the reason. Since his return, he had heard about it from his subordinates but had not bothered with it.
After all, the official seal was still locked up, and he wasn’t fulfilling his duties, so if a cri was committed, the offenders simply had to be detained first.
Wufu, hearing this, a trace of warmth passed through her eyes as she stood up and offered a bow of thanks, “I am grateful for Your Honor’s trust in .”
Wen Congrui said, “Runzhi.”
“Mm,” Wufu stuck out her tongue, saying, “I indeed intended to teach those two a lesson. Runzhi, unless you feel that I am taking advantage of our friendship, treating the jail as if it’s my own ho, turning a blind eye. Let them fend for themselves inside.”
“Wufu, this is personal retaliation.”
Wufu chuckled lightly, “You are not wrong to say that. But her theft is a fact. Even though I am venting my anger, I haven’t wrongly accused her. Instead, I have firmly established her guilt. How the case will be judged in the future is up to the Lord County Magistrate. I will have no complaints.”
Wen Congrui thought for a mont and said, “That is indeed your biological uncle. By acting this way, you may be subject to criticism, as a woman’s reputation is extrely important. You should treasure and uphold it.”
Wufu laughed heartily, “Runzhi, what I care the least about is the so-called reputation for filial piety. Besides, I understand that there is unfilial behavior because there is a lack of kindness first. In the world, there are parents who sever ties with their children, why not uncles? Relations between children and relatives are all about fate, after all.”
Wen Congrui frowned, thinking of sothing, he silently picked up the teacup and took a sip.
“Runzhi may not be aware of the grievances and disputes between us, but I have a clear conscience.”
Wen Congrui smiled and said, “It seems I’ve been presumptuous. Not being directly involved, I lack knowledge of your grievances, yet I spoke from a moral standpoint.”
“You are a reader of sacred and wise books, of course, you’re different from ,” Wufu looked at him, “In my view, there is only good and bad, only grace and resentnt, and right and wrong. As for moral viewpoints, they do not exist!”
Wen Congrui gave a slight smile; he probably understood her way of doing things and her nature, which was precisely why it was so enviable, “So people wish they could be willful but can’t. Wufu’s ability to express herself and follow her own path truly inspires envy.”
His words carried a tinge of lancholy.
Wufu looked at him deeply but did not ask out loud.
Everyone has their mission in life, their reason for existence, and their constraints. She truly couldn’t say who was right or wrong in that regard.
Fortunately, she was quite free herself, without any mission to bear, and no need to undertake a burdenso journey, which was why she lived so freely.
“Look at , I ca to scrounge a al but ended up discussing the philosophy of sages. Can I walk around your estate? Sitting here is just too dull.” Wen Congrui relaxed his somber expression.
Wufu stood up, smiling, “My place isn’t big, but if you don’t mind, I would be honored to accompany you. Please!”
