Chapter 333 The Meng Family Has Arrived

When Da Ya saw Wen Zizhou arrive with Song Tingwan, she brought out two portions of today's new products. "Third Uncle, you asked me to save these for you."

Wen Zizhou chuckled and took out two taels of silver from his pocket, handing it to Daya. "Consider the extra as a tip for your trouble."

Da Ya accepted the money, grinned at Song Tingwan, and went back to her work.

Wen Zizhou pushed the small cake in front of Song Tingwan and said, "My little sister says that eating sweets can make people feel better when they're sad."

"You should try it! These are all recipes she came up with, they're delicious!"

After he finished speaking, he buried his head and ate spoonful after spoonful. Song Tingwan also took a spoon, but she would stop and look at him after eating a spoonful.

The two finished eating before it was almost dark. Wen Zizhou stood up, stretched, and escorted Song Tingwan to her courtyard.

The two chatted and laughed, but before they even reached the courtyard gate, Song Tingwan saw several people standing there. Upon closer inspection, she was instantly drenched in sweat.

Are they from the Meng family?!

She recognized the person standing at the very front; he had a birthmark on his face and was one of the servants who served Meng Jingyang.

She stopped in her tracks, grabbed Wen Zizhou, and said in a trembling voice, "Run! Don't look back!"

Her rudimentary skills were no match for those of several grown men, and she was unable to protect Wen Zizhou.

Before Wen Zizhou could react, he was dragged along and sprinted forward.

He ate too much for dinner and felt nauseous. When he looked back, he realized that Song Tingwan didn't need to hold him back anymore, so he took off running on his own.

"Chase after her! Capture Miss Song! The Madam will reward you handsomely when we return!"

Several burly men with weapons chased after them relentlessly.

The alley was narrow and they had no suitable weapons. The two ran until they were exhausted. The person behind them, tempted by the woman with the birthmark, seemed to be injected with chicken blood and became tireless.

Wen Zizhou stopped to catch his breath, unable to run any further. Song Tingwan ran back and grabbed him anxiously, saying, "Don't rest yet, Zizhou! Let's shake them off first!"

Wen Zizhou waved his hand, "Right away, right away, let me catch my breath a couple more times."

The woman with the birthmark got angry as soon as she saw them pulling and tugging at each other. This young lady from the Song family was engaged to their young master!

Leaving aside her running away from the wedding, it hasn't been that long and she's already hooked up with another man!

That man didn't look like a good person either; both of them were shameless!

"Charge! Kill that adulterer first!"

He swung the stick in his hand, and several people behind him shouted and rushed forward.

"Zizhou, you go first, I'll be right behind you!" In her haste, Song Tingwan pushed Wen Zizhou forward.

"Oh dear! What's going on here?"

Wen Zizhou stopped and ran back, saying, "You're practically my dining buddy, how could I just run away?"

These people are obviously not simple. It would be terrible if Song Tingwan fell into their hands.

He took out the dagger that Wen Luozhi had given him earlier for self-defense from his sleeve, stuffed it into Song Tingwan's hand, and then hid behind her:

Be careful not to cut yourself.

"And don't kill anyone, or we'll both end up in jail."

"Oh my, you two are such a loving couple!"

The man with the birthmark looked at Wen Zizhou behind Song Tingwan with a mocking expression, saying, "He looks like a pretty boy, how can he compare to our young master's handsome appearance?"

Song Tingwan sneered, "I wouldn't even look at your crazy, pig-looking young master if he paid me!"

As soon as she said that, her face, marked with a birthmark, immediately flew into a rage. Seeing Wen Zizhou smirking behind her, she became even more furious. "Beat that pretty boy to death with sticks!"

"Take this damned girl back to Qingzhou County!"

The group immediately rushed over, and Wen Zizhou screamed for help, "Help! Murder!"

Song Tingwan helplessly said to the group of people rushing towards her, "It's no use. People can only hear us once we're outside the alley."

This little courtyard is great in every way, except that the alley is too long.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have come here; now she's just dragging others down with her.

Wen Zizhou picked up a stick from the ground and swung it wildly, but instead of being hit, he was hit several times.

Seeing this, Song Tingwan panicked and was suddenly slapped on the wrist by the person with the birthmark.

The dagger fell to the ground with a thud, and the man with the birthmark picked it up and approached Song Tingwan.

"I thought you were something special, but all you've got is this!"

He smiled maliciously, while the others nearby had already prepared ropes and sacks.

Wen Zizhou pulled Song Tingwan behind him, and seeing her disgusting face with the birthmark, he suddenly wasn't so scared anymore. "Ugly freak, aren't you afraid of scaring people out so late?"

He waved the stick in his hand and said, "Come any closer, and I'll beat you so badly your own father won't recognize you."

She has never had a father since she was a child, and after he said that, she completely lost control.

"I'm ugly?! Fine, fine, fine!"

"You'll never have your face intact today!"

He rushed forward in two strides, his eyes fierce, and Wen Zizhou hit him twice, but he seemed to feel no pain.

The woman with the birthmark grabbed Wen Zizhou's collar, about to stab him in the face, but Song Tingwan behind her grabbed his belt and hid him behind her.

With all his might, he stabbed the man with the birthmark on his face, and when his hand missed, he lunged forward.

Seeing the knife about to stab her, Song Tingwan stared blankly, her eyes wide with rage, and remained unresponsive.

"Ahhh!" Wen Zizhou pushed her away anxiously. The knife on his face with the birthmark was stuck in his collarbone, and he was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his forehead.

The man with the birthmark was extremely pleased with himself. Just as he was about to pull out the knife and stab it down again, he suddenly froze.

His hand holding the knife fell to the ground, and by the time he realized what had happened, blood was gushing out.

"Who!" He looked around in a panic, but there was no one in sight except for two walls.

There was no movement behind him. He mechanically turned his head and saw that the men he had brought with him were lying on the ground.

Before he could figure out what was happening, Tieyi, hiding in the shadows, picked up a pebble and flicked it hard at his forehead.

Song Tingwan saw him fall straight down, and then she saw Wen Zizhou lying in front of the face with the birthmark.

"Zizhou, how are you?! I'll take you to the clinic, sob sob sob!"

Song Tingwan's eyes were red and her voice was trembling with sobs as she carefully helped Wen Zizhou up and lean him on her shoulder.

"I let you run ahead, boohoo, why did you come back?"

Wen Zizhou winced in pain, but still spoke in his usual nonchalant manner, "Back then, my little sister, a young girl, saved me by taking on three opponents single-handedly."

"If I listened to you and ran away, I wouldn't be a real man."

Song Tingwan helped him anxiously out of the alley, and before leaving, she turned back and loudly said thank you.

Tieyi followed behind them, and only left after seeing Song Tingwan and Wen Zizhou enter the clinic.

The wound was half the depth of the dagger. Song Tingwan stood at the door, sobbing like a child who had done something wrong.

After applying the medicine, Wen Zizhou felt less pain. He glanced at Song Tingwan and rolled his eyes.

"Oh dear! My mouth is so dry!"

"Why can't some people even pour me a glass of water?!"

He feigned pitifulness, and upon hearing this, Song Tingwan quickly stepped in, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him, saying, "I'm sorry, I caused you to get hurt."

Wen Zizhou chuckled as he took the water and pointed to her hand, asking, "Is there any medicine on your hand?"

Song Tingwan felt a warmth in her heart and quickly nodded. Then she heard Wen Zizhou say, "A grown man with a scar has a manly charm."

"You girls can't even be pretty, all you do is cry."
