Chapter 238 It's Not for You
"Only five taels of silver?"
Wu Weiwei paused, her expression turning solemn.
She was afraid that Matsuko wouldn't tell the truth, so she pretended to be profound.
"it is true.
Someone delivered a letter to her yesterday; it was I who took it in…”
"What letter?"
Wu Weiwei became suspicious.
Now that the female lead is dead, who else will Dingxiang associate with?
"Auntie, I don't know who sent it."
All that is known is that Dingxiang was shocked after reading the letter, and then showed great joy.
My guess is that it's related to her relatives..."
Listen to what Matsuko said.
Although Wu Weiwei appeared calm and composed, a vague unease stirred within her.
Wu Weiwei glanced at him.
"Pine Nut, did Dingxiang tell you something yesterday?"
Songzi looked at her, taken aback.
"To be honest, Aunt Wu, Dingxiang gave me five taels of silver yesterday and told me not to tell anyone about the letter."
"Is there anything else?"
Wu Weiwei's expression was cold.
Songzi thought for a moment, then asked, "What else?"
"By the way, Miss Dingxiang went out after receiving the letter yesterday."
I think I saw Steward Shi follow them…
Upon hearing Songzi's words, Wu Weiwei's expression fell.
"Alright, this is none of your business. You can go now!"
Songzi looked at Wu Weiwei, and for a moment she couldn't understand why Aunt Wu had called her here.
Am I really alright?
Lingfu saw that Songzi was still standing there dumbfounded.
"What, you still want our aunt to keep you here?"
"No, Sister Lingfu, I'll be going right away."
After Songzi left, Wanqiu looked at her master.
"Auntie, is Little Stone...?"
Wanqiu dared not use the word "unexpected," but everyone here understood what she meant.
Wu Weiwei's breath hitched.
She vaguely understood why Little Stone had gone with them.
The fact that a single letter could cause Dingxiang such extreme joy and sorrow is simply because her master is still alive.
But why didn't Little Stone tell him?
Even if he just sends someone to deliver a message, it's still better than putting himself in danger.
She didn't want to think about what might have happened to Xiao Shitou since he didn't come home that night; she just hoped that nothing would happen to him!
"Wanqiu, come with me to Qingsong Courtyard."
Even if it means revealing that the female lead is still alive, she is determined to save her.
Yuli Trading Company of Weixian County.
Inside the secret room, Little Stone fainted, covered in blood.
He had been tormented all night, and every time he tried to sleep, someone would splash water on him to wake him up.
Several times he even thought about simply provoking these people and getting himself killed.
However, thinking of his employer's expectations of him, he felt that he could not die yet.
"Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of your coming here?"
Did your master send you? What do you know?
"Pooh!"
Little Stone coldly spat a mouthful of blood at them.
"I have said it many times, I admire the girl Dingxiang."
I'm only following her because I'm worried about her safety. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do..."
"You little rascal, you're pretty stubborn!"
The burly man stood up and picked up the red-hot branding iron from the coal pile.
He pushed the branding iron, which was emitting billowing heat, to within ten centimeters of Xiao Shitou's face.
The heat of the soldering iron burned Little Stone's face.
"Let me tell you, if you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid this branding iron will be stuck on your mouth and face..."
Little Stone stared at the tall, muscular man's ferocious face.
He chuckled and said, "A coward doesn't lift a finger."
"So what if I die? I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"
As Little Stone made his domineering declaration, the short man next to him snatched the branding iron from the tall, strong man's hand.
"Old Zhuang, why are you babbling on and on with him for so long!"
"Just brand it with a soldering iron, let's see if he's really not afraid!"
The tall, strong man stopped him.
"Xiao Li, you don't understand..."
He just felt it was a pity.
I never expected this kid to be so spirited.
If this person is his subordinate, then he will have much less to worry about.
Unfortunately……
Just as he was about to end Little Stone's life, he heard a crashing sound outside.
"who!"
"Manager Zhuang, something bad has happened! The soldiers have surrounded us."
Master Shen told you to escape through the passage immediately…
Qingsong Courtyard.
Wu Weiwei explained the disappearance of Xiao Shitou to Lu Hanting and hoped that he would send Rufeng to lead people to surround and capture Yu Li Trading Company.
But the prince didn't react much after hearing this, and remained focused on the official business in his hands.
"Your Highness, Weiwei begs you, please let Rufeng go and save Xiaoshitou!"
Lu Hanting frowned as he looked at her.
"He's just a minor manager, is it really worth making you kneel before him?"
Wu Weiwei looked at the Crown Prince.
He doesn't understand.
Little Stone was no ordinary subordinate, but rather his most capable subordinate.
But she couldn't tell Lu Hanting these things.
Seeing that the young master remained unmoved, Wu Weiwei frowned.
"Your Highness, if I were to say that the Yu Li Trading Company in Wei County is very likely the gathering place of the human traffickers in the capital that Ru Feng previously swept away..."
"And what will you do about the land?"
"What did you say?"
The prince put down the scroll in his hand.
"Weren't the human trafficking cases closed a long time ago? How come they still have a base in the capital?"
Seeing that Lu Hanting finally responded, Wu Weiwei sneered inwardly.
"Your Highness, Little Stone accidentally saw Dingxiang having contact with human traffickers, which is why he followed them."
Who knew that he would never return?
"I had no other choice but to ask you for help. If you don't want to help me, then just pretend I never came today!"
Wu Weiwei turned to leave as she spoke.
"stop!"
"Who said I wasn't going to help you!"
Lu Hanting looked at Ru Feng to the side.
"Ru Feng, go and gather three hundred men to accompany me to Wei County."
As for you…
Lu Hanting looked at Wu Weiwei.
"You stay here and wait patiently. I will bring your people back safely!"
If he is still alive.
Seeing the young master leave the Marquis's residence with his men, Wu Weiwei finally felt relieved.
Actually, she could have asked Chief镖头 Bo to lead a group to rescue Little Stone.
But since the female lead didn't die, and she even discovered that he had set a trap for her before.
Rather than letting her secretly plot against you, it's better to lure her out.
Solve the problem completely in one go.
Moreover, Shen Bazhi is the behind-the-scenes boss of Yuli Trading Company.
Send the Crown Prince with men; it would be even better if they could catch the two of them in the act of adultery.
Even if she couldn't catch the scene in the act, it made the crown prince suspicious of the female lead.
And regarding Xie Ningxin's matter, perhaps this roundup could bring some clues to light.
If possible, she hopes to kill two birds with one stone.
Cuiyun saw Wu Weiwei walking out of Qingsong Courtyard with a worried look on her face.
She could only sigh inwardly how wonderful it was to be Aunt Wu's servant, to receive her sincere treatment.
Upon returning to Biyunting, Chen Caiyun appeared to be looking for him with a worried expression.
"Master, I just heard from Lingfu that that person has come to the capital?"
Wu Weiwei looked at her.
The person Sister Chen was talking about must be her husband, Shen Bazhi!
"Sister Chen, I just found out too."
Shen Bazhi arrived in the capital ten days ago.
only……"
Seeing Wu Weiwei hesitate, a bitter smile appeared on Sister Chen's lips.
"Master, you might as well just say it!"
"This servant can bear it!"
Looking at her, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
"Sister Chen, I have to tell you a fact."
Your husband came to Beijing not for you, but for He Yuyan!
