Wen Xiuyi's side cleaned up the gang of thieves last night, but the boat was burned and sank. When they returned to the shore, they found that Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu were missing.
She jumped up and down in anger: "I knew they were restless, so they took the opportunity to run away! Qing, where are they?"
Shi Qing's face looked ugly.
Because he discovered that his connection with the Gu insect was cut off.
What does this mean? Either the person is dead or the Gu insect is dead.
Would those two people die so easily? Shi Qing didn't believe it. So, the only answer was the second one.
It turns out that they already have a way to deal with the poisonous insects, but they keep pretending to be controlled by others. They are really cunning!
As soon as he explained the situation, Wen Xiuyi was furious: "I told you before that I wanted to give them some pain, but you just wanted to stop them. Now, let them run away!"
The veins on Shi Qing's forehead pulsed: "Even if they get rid of the poisonous insects on their bodies, their injuries won't be able to recover for a while. Now that they don't have the power, they can't run very far. Let's search!"
This place is close to Yidu, so it naturally has the influence of the Tang family.
Wen Xiuyi contacted people from the Tang family and borrowed help to search the river.
At the same time, she got a message.
"The old lady is here too?"
The person in charge replied: "Yes, the old lady returned to her ancestral home from Kyoto and is currently resting at Ma's house."
Wen Xiuyi turned around and said, "Ah Qing, since the old lady is here, we should go and see her according to etiquette."
Shi Qing was not interested at all and said, "You go ahead, I'll search for people."
Wen Xiuyi just asked casually, and she was more relieved that Shi Qing was willing to search for people.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'll go to Ma's house and have a look."
"Um."
Wen Xiuyi changed her clothes, dressed up properly, and went to Majuan's house.
At dawn, Butler Ji came out to greet her: "I've seen Miss Xiuyi."
Wen Xiuyi changed her dress and softened her voice, no different from that of a famous lady: "I heard that the old lady is here, Xiuyi came here to pay her a visit."
Butler Ji smiled and said: "Miss Xiuyi is interested. The old lady didn't sleep well last night and is not feeling well now. Miss Xiuyi, please wait for a while?"
Tang Shao was brought up by Mrs. Tang and she respected her grandmother very much. Wen Xiuyi would not offend anyone if she offended her. Hearing what Butler Ji said, he asked, "Has the old lady relapsed?"
Butler Ji said yes.
Wen Xiuyi said: "Then I have to go take a look. I have made some medicine these days, maybe it can help the old lady calm down."
Butler Ji disagreed. This girl, Xiuyi, is a descendant of the witch sect. When the old lady first fell ill, she was invited to come and see her. Unfortunately, she couldn't see what was going on, and the medicine she used was all for sleeping. The old lady was sleeping.
Even if it's on, you'll still wake up if you're frightened.
"The old lady is drinking soothing herbal tea! Miss Xiuyi, wait a moment. We will set off immediately after the old lady recovers."
Although Wen Xiuyi was not happy, she could bear it when she thought that she would be traveling with the old lady when she set off, so she would be able to see her when the time came.
But none of them expected that they would have to wait until noon.
Butler Ji thought it would be over soon, but unexpectedly there was no movement inside.
When I went in and asked, I heard that Ming Wei used acupressure to help the old lady fall asleep. I frowned and regretted it in my heart.
This girl... the old lady must have a kind heart and couldn't bear to reject her. She would have sent their cousins away first.
…
The sun was getting higher and Mrs. Tang was still sleeping peacefully in the room. Bai Ling couldn't help but look at Mingwei again and again.
It's really strange. It's been an hour and a half and the old lady hasn't woken up yet. Is this girl right?
Time continues to pass.
After two hours passed, Bai Ling was completely convinced.
When Butler Ji came to ask, she went out to explain the situation in person.
Butler Ji was very pleasantly surprised when he heard what she said, and said thoughtfully: "It sounds like this girl knows how to repay her kindness and acts prudently. If she can really cure the old lady's illness, then..."
Bai Ling said: "She said this is only to alleviate the old lady's condition. To eradicate it, we must find the crux. But the old lady's nightmare is not allowed to be known to outsiders..."
Butler Ji said: "It's hard to let outsiders know because those people can't be cured. How can we let people find out the secrets of the Tang family in vain? If she can be cured, for the sake of the old lady, the Duke and the others will also agree."
Bai Ling, a maid who was not as senior as Butler Ji, asked, "Then shall we keep this girl?"
"Of course. Not only do you have to stay, but you also have to treat me like a distinguished guest."
While the two were talking, Wen Xiuyi came over there.
She didn't have much patience. She was left waiting all the time and was tired of waiting.
Everyone knew that she was the second young master's junior sister, and the servants of the Tang family did not dare to stop her, so they just let her break into the inner courtyard.
"Who are you talking about? What girl?"
Seeing Wen Xiuyi come in, Butler Ji was displeased: "Miss Xiuyi, don't you please wait for a while?"
Wen Xiuyi sneered: "If I really listened to you, today would be terrible. Tell me, who is that girl? What is her origin?"
Butler Ji has been following Mrs. Tang and is used to seeing Wen Xiuyi jealous. Whenever the old lady sees a lady from a certain family, she thinks she is there for the second young master and runs out to make trouble.
At this moment, Butler Ji took it as such and replied in a stiff tone: "Don't think too much about it, this girl is just an insignificant person. She was rescued when she was encountered on the road and she is just treating the old lady."
When Wen Xiuyi heard the words "rescued", she became more suspicious and asked: "Did you rescue her from the water? Last night? Does she look... pretty good?"
When she asked about her appearance, Butler Ji no longer had any doubts and refused: "He is really an insignificant person. Miss Xiuyi, please stop being so troublesome."
Wen Xiuyi was really not messing around this time. She was impatient to argue with Butler Ji and turned around to rush in.
"Miss Xiuyi!" Butler Ji was annoyed and took a few steps in front of her, "This is the old lady's guest, you can't be rude!"
He was Mrs. Tang's confidant and he was too old. Wen Xiuyi did not dare to push him and said angrily: "You are the ones who are delaying me! This is my prisoner who escaped halfway! Go away and stay out of the way!"
Butler Ji didn't care who was a prisoner or not. Wen Xiuyi didn't have a good impression of him. Seeing that Mingwei might be able to cure Mrs. Tang's illness, why would he let her interfere? He blocked it even more firmly and said: "Xiuyi
Girl, if you have anything to do, wait until the old lady wakes up, okay? The old lady finally had a good sleep, what will you do if you wake her up?"
If it had been anything else, Wen Xiuyi would have tolerated it, but Mingwei had ruined her plans time and time again. He finally caught her and let her escape. How could she let him go?
She said: "The most dangerous thing is for you to let her stay with the old lady! Aren't you afraid of what she will do to the old lady?"
When she said this, both Butler Ji and Bai Ling hesitated.
No? That girl doesn’t look like a villain!
However, evil people don’t have it written on their faces, right?
Just when they were in trouble, Mingwei's leisurely voice came from behind: "Miss Wen? You are here too!" (To be continued)
