But Donglin Temple and Puci Temple are only separated by a hill!
This also means that Princess Duan and that group of nobles are all nearby!
Old Madam Wei was alarmed, but she showed no sign of it. She just told Aunt Hua, "Go and see where the girls are. They must be tired after such a long day. Let them go back to their rooms to wash up so that we can have vegetarian food together later."
Aunt Hua agreed and left.
Madam Chen was busy ordering people to prepare return gifts. Since she knew that Princess Duan and the others were at Donglin Temple, she should send something to Donglin Temple. Incense and candles were inevitable. Since it was a religious ceremony, she should also send some gold and silver ingots. Fortunately, these things were always available, so she asked people to prepare them all at once.
As soon as Wei An left the small garden, the long-servant who had been following Wei Jie came up to greet him. He stood in front of Wei An with his brows lowered and his hands folded. He smiled and bent over and said, "Seventh Miss, all the boxes have been put back in place, but somehow, one box is missing. If your box or that of the eleventh miss is missing, it would be a big deal, so the fourth young master asked me to inform you and ask you to go out and identify it."
This is not something Wei Jie would do.
No matter how serious the matter is, if a box is lost, can't the servants in the house go and identify it
Nanny Wang and Lan He Yuqing in her room had come with her, so at worst, could Nanny Hua not recognize it? There were marks on it.
How could it be possible for a rich lady to personally take action
She glanced at the attendant coldly, still with a lukewarm smile on her face: "Did the fourth young master say this?"
Wei An, the long-time attendant, had once heard Wei Jie mention that he was the son of the chambermaid given by Princess Changning. Ever since Princess Changning got into trouble, the people around her were either driven away or punished, leaving only a few around Wei Jie. Old Madam Wei did not touch Wei Jie's people.
The attendant responded, then quickly glanced at Wei An and whispered, "Miss Eleven has gone to check it out first. She was afraid that your things might be left outside, which would be bad for your reputation. Miss Peng also went with her."
This is threatening her.
Wei Yupo and Peng Lingwei have already gone out. If Wei An doesn't go out, then if something happens to Peng Lingwei and Wei Yupo, she will be unable to escape the consequences.
No matter whether Wei Yangqing would blame her at that time, if the person behind the scenes really did something irreparable to Wei Yupo, then all the girls in the Wei family would suffer.
The other party was betting that Wei An would be fooled because of the Wei family's reputation.
Wei An hummed, his voice even colder: "Then let's go."
The long-servant responded coldly and raised his eyes casually - after all, the Seventh Miss was not as omnipotent as the legend said. He wanted to sneer, but he didn't know why, when he inadvertently met Wei An's eyes that seemed to see through everything and were shrouded in a layer of mist, he suddenly couldn't laugh.
He led Wei An around and to the left, and soon they left the nunnery through the back door and stepped onto a small path.
The road was overgrown with weeds on both sides. Wen Xiu and Su Ping protected Wei An in the middle, one on each side, and asked Wei An softly, "Miss, do you want to take action?"
They all know martial arts and can take action at any time.
Wei An just shook his head slightly.
After about two cups of tea, they bypassed the path, quickly reached the top of the mountain, and began to walk uphill again. Wei An looked up and soon saw a small house on the side of the road.
This small house was made of bricks and stones. It was obviously a simple residence used by villagers from the nearby reservoir to guard the reservoir. The long-servant stopped outside and bowed his head respectfully to Wei An and said, "To answer the young lady's question, we are here."
Wei An also stopped and asked him calmly: "Do you want me to come in?"
She had clearly sensed something was wrong, but she didn't make any moves along the way. She just followed steadily without crying or making a fuss... The long-servant couldn't help but look up at her again.
It was almost noon, and the dazzling sunlight added a layer of gold to her already enchanting eyes. Through the dazzling fog, apart from her beautiful eyes, one could also see a faint murderous aura.
The attendant couldn't help but shudder. When he came back to his senses, he heard terrified screams from inside.
His right eyelid twitched involuntarily, and he turned and left.
He walked very fast, and his feet made no sound when they touched the ground. It turned out that he was quite skilled in martial arts.
Wei An raised his eyebrows. The wooden door of the hut had been slammed loudly. A terrified female voice came from inside: "Hurry up! Is there anyone?! Come and save us..."
Wen Xiu couldn't hide her worry between her brows. She took a step back and looked at Wei An, shouting, "Girl..."
Were we already too late? Could it be that Wei Yupo and Peng Lingwei were inside
If it was them, what happened to them
This place is far from both Donglin Temple and Puci Temple. It is in the middle area. If something really happens...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Wei An ordered solemnly, "Kick the door."
There is no time to think about it now, let’s rescue the people first.
If it was done by the Peng family, then Wei Yupo should be the only one involved. Was it to frame the Wei family
Or, given the character of the Peng family, they might also adhere to the principle of "you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb", and might involve Peng Lingwei as well, intending to frame the Wei family and make them make some promise through this incident
And if it weren't for the Peng family... ..
These thoughts just flashed through his mind in a flash. When Wei An was thinking about these things, the door of the cabin was kicked open with a bang by Wen Xiufei.
A girl with disheveled hair and dirty face rushed out, tumbling and crawling down the slope, right at Wei An's feet. She was startled when she raised her head, and then she hugged Wei An's legs with tears and snot: "Girl, help me!"
It’s neither Peng Lingwei nor Wei Yupo.
Wei An was a little dazed. Just as he was about to say something else, another maid poked her head out and cried in fear: "The county lady, the county lady fainted!"
County Lord...
Wei An frowned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong. He quickly walked up the slope, stopped at the threshold, looked inside, and saw the face of the Fairy Princess.
It turned out to be the Fairy Princess!
But why is Xianrong County Lady here? !
Before Wei An could think clearly, the familiar-looking girl outside ran in crying, lifted her skirt and knelt at Wei An's feet: "Princess, we...we met..."
She hesitated for a moment: "There is a thief in our house who tricked our county lady here. Our county lady has been frightened for half a day and has fainted. Please help me..."
Before she finished speaking, Wen Xiu suddenly rushed in and looked at them: "Girls, someone is coming!"
