Chapter 223 Catching a turtle in a urn
"you?"
He Yuyan was furious with her.
"Tell me the truth, are you after the position of the Crown Prince's consort?"
He Yuyan was convinced that Wu Weiwei's staying in the Marquis's mansion must be because she had ambitions.
"And what about you?"
You repeatedly run away from the Crown Prince, is it because you are dissatisfied with his arrangements for you, and that you are playing hard to get with him?
Ultimately, isn't all she after the position of Crown Princess?
Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, He Yuyan immediately felt guilty and said, "You're talking nonsense."
I don't care about the position of Crown Princess at all, and I don't love the Crown Prince, so why should I play hard to get with him?
"Really? What if you hadn't been locked up in jail?"
If the Crown Prince doesn't force you, would you be willing to stay by his side?
Regarding what Wu Weiwei said.
He Yuyan was unable to answer for a moment.
If she manages to escape this time, will she look for another chance to escape from Lu Hanting?
She once thought that Jiang Yang would be her support in this life.
But Lu Hanting used a simple trick to test her true feelings.
She's a coward who's afraid of death; she's not worth my heartache.
So, apart from the capital city and Lu Hanting's side...
Where else in this vast world could she go?
the answer is……
she does not know.
Seeing that He Yuyan couldn't answer, Wu Weiwei immediately understood her thoughts.
She's just hypocritical and pretentious.
Wu Weiwei covered her mouth and nose.
After staying here for a while, the smell here really becomes quite unpleasant.
There's no need for me to waste my time talking to her here.
"Here, this is something the old lady asked me to bring for you..."
He Yuyan came to her senses, and when she saw that it was a doll left by her mother, her eyes lit up.
Seeing her like this, Wu Weiwei knew that this thing must be extremely precious to her.
Thinking of the records in the little notebook that Lady Hou had given her.
Wu Weiwei suddenly felt a little confused.
Come to the door.
The jailer at the gate said politely, "You're leaving so soon, sir?"
"Ah."
As Wu Weiwei turned to leave, a question suddenly occurred to her.
"By the way, buddy, there are female prisoners locked up inside."
"Besides me, has anyone else come to see her today?"
"Hehe, this..."
Seeing his reaction, Wu Weiwei knew what he meant.
She took out a silver ingot from her sleeve.
The jailer grinned and said, "My esteemed guest."
To be honest, I was on duty after the first shift.
But I heard from my colleague on the previous shift that a relative brought her food at noon.
That's all I know.
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiwei immediately understood.
"Here, take it!"
Wu Weiwei placed the silver in his hand.
He then cheerfully expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, sir! Have a safe journey."
Upon exiting the prison, he saw Wanqiu waiting anxiously outside.
"Auntie, you've finally come out."
If you don't come out soon, I'm afraid I'll have to go inside to look for you..."
Wu Weiwei waved to her.
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that Miss Biao will eat me?"
"Of course! People say that when a person is about to die, they will act without thinking."
Wanqiu was genuinely afraid she would eat you up.
Wu Weiwei pinched her little upturned nose.
"Ha, she's probably in a precarious situation right now, barely able to save herself."
"How could he possibly have the ability to plot against me..."
"Yes, it's good that Auntie is out safe."
"Let's go back."
Return to the Hou Mansion.
Wu Weiwei had someone call Xiao Shitou over.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
"Little Stone, think carefully, has anything unusual happened in your team recently?"
Little Stone scratched his head.
"No, boss, what happened?"
Wu Weiwei pondered for a long time.
"I suspect there's a mole among your people..."
"No way?"
The little stone was surprised.
"Of course, I'm just guessing."
Wu Weiwei recounted what He Yuyan had told her in prison, combined with her own speculations.
"So, boss, you suspect that one of our people is a mole?"
And is it possible that someone will break into the prison and rescue the young lady?
"Yes."
She had just seen the female lead, who seemed confident and whose behavior didn't resemble that of someone about to die.
She guessed that there must be more to this story.
Wu Weiwei's idea was to have Xiao Shitou investigate the mole while having someone keep an eye on the prison.
Those people are very likely to attempt a prison break tonight or tomorrow when they are executed.
The little stone nodded.
"By the way, boss, do you think this was done by Shen Bazhi?"
"Very likely."
But didn't you confirm that he's not currently in the capital?
"Master, have you forgotten about the Yu Tong Chamber of Commerce that I mentioned to you yesterday?"
I suspect that this Yu Tong Chamber of Commerce is a stronghold set up by the Black Hawk Gang in the Great Wei Kingdom.
Shen Bazhi is very likely the mastermind behind this.
Little Stone affirmed.
"Yes, I've thought of what you've thought of too."
Therefore, you should have someone keep an eye on the Yu Tong Chamber of Commerce. As soon as they make any moves, report it to the authorities immediately.
"Yes, boss."
"Lingfu, go to the Anxi General's Mansion and have Miss Chen lead men to guard outside the prison."
"If He Yuyan dares to escape, we'll catch her like a turtle in a jar."
Wu Weiwei didn't believe it.
Unless the female lead has three heads and six arms, she can forget about escaping from prison.
Chulongzhou.
Shen Bazhi tightly gripped the carrier pigeon in his hand.
He never imagined that He Yuyan would be harmed to such an extent.
"Red Widow, contact Black Spider immediately and have her find a way to save Yan'er."
The gentle and refined middle-aged man stared fiercely at the note in his hand.
"Mr. Shen, are you sure you want to ruin our grand plan for a woman?"
Qingying disagreed with his actions.
"Big plan?"
Shen Bazhi looked at her.
"If I hadn't saved your sister back then, you'd probably be all alone by now, wouldn't you?"
Qingying pursed her lips.
indeed.
If it weren't for Shen Bazhi, my sister would probably be dead by now.
To be honest, she should thank him.
But now, for the sake of a woman, he has disobeyed the head of the gang.
If the head of the gang finds out, he'll probably be in big trouble.
"Mr. Shen, everything has been arranged in the capital, so why do you need to use my sister as a pawn again?"
If this arouses suspicion, she might expose herself prematurely…
What are you worried about?
If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility; you won't be implicated!
The Black Hawk Gang's strategist, who always prided himself on his composure, actually lost his mind for a woman.
Qingying was so angry she was gritting her teeth.
She had gone to great lengths to place her younger sister there, and now she was using her for the sake of a woman.
She was truly unwilling to accept it.
If she had known this would happen, she would have rather killed He Yuyan with a single blow back in Tongzhou.
But the head of the gang isn't here right now, so Shen Bazhi won't listen to her opinions at all.
Seeing Shen Bazhi's murderous gaze, Qingying sighed helplessly.
"Understood, I will give the order to Black Spider now."
The next day.
As soon as the city gates of the capital opened, a letter was delivered to the palace by express courier.
