Old Madam Wei has always been a person who does what she says. After thinking for a while, she asked Wei An if there was anything else he wanted to tell her. If not, she would immediately ask the second and third masters to prepare the boat.
The things had been packed long ago and we were ready to set off immediately.
The other things have already been prepared by the Third and Second Madams. If they want to set off, they can just say a word and set off immediately without any delay.
Wei An nodded: "There is one more thing. Wait a little longer and we will set off in the evening."
Mrs. Wei agreed.
Tan Xi came back soon. Over the years, thanks to the careful cultivation and training of Shen Chen and Lin Sanshao, he and Zhao Qi and He Sheng had a better understanding of each other, and his abilities had also improved a lot.
The network of contacts that I have cultivated over the years has also paid off.
Of course, they couldn't get close to the people in high positions, but they had already made friends with many of the lower-level soldiers, such as those guarding the city gates, in order to avoid being checked when entering or leaving the city.
Now it finally came in handy. He and Zhao Qi quickly split into two groups and found out the person who Princess Yonghe sent out of the city to deliver the letter that day.
"Miss, you guessed right. The person who sent the letter and the person who came back were not the same person." Tan Xi looked at Wei An in confusion: "Miss, who are these people?"
The person who sent the letter was one person, but the one who came back was not the same person.
Tan Xi was able to make the judgment because the handwriting was different.
The handwriting of the person is so different that even though the signature is the same, it is impossible that it is the same person.
Wei An knew what was going on.
Princess Yonghe probably had no involvement in this matter, and she definitely didn't know about it.
It's not that the people around her acted on their own.
Her people were used as tools. Those people must have wanted to investigate Shen Chen's whereabouts, and after finding out, they wanted to personally confirm the accuracy of the information. Therefore, they took advantage of the fact that someone from Princess Yonghe was looking for Shen Chen, and took the opportunity to kill the person sent by Princess Yonghe, and disguised themselves as the person sent by Princess Yonghe to meet Shen Chen.
So what comes back is not the same.
With this little clue, it's not that difficult to investigate.
Wei An picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Tan Xi: "Think of a way to give it to the Prince of Linjiang, and ask him to find out who this person is. After he comes back, he must report to Princess Yonghe first. Calculating the time, it happens to be the day when Princess Yonghe made things difficult for her, in the Rongchang Marquis' Mansion. That person will definitely reveal some clues."
Tan Xi responded quickly.
Wei An then said, "Come back immediately after delivering the letter. We will set out for Dongchang Prefecture in the evening."
Tan Xi knew that they were going to rescue Shen Chen, so he was not surprised. He answered loudly, "Yes," and immediately ran out to do the work.
Yuqing was extremely worried. After watching Tan Xi leave, she came up and brought a bowl of ginseng soup to Wei An, and whispered, "Miss, aren't you afraid?"
Wei An was indeed a little tired after being on tenterhooks all day. He took a sip of the ginseng soup and asked her, "What are you afraid of?"
Yuqing pursed her lips and finally decided to tell the truth: "Pingxi Hou suddenly got into trouble. He has a special status and may often encounter such accidents in the future. Aren't you afraid?"
If we live like this, won’t we always be worried from now on
Wei An started to laugh. She used to feel that the days were very long, life was very long, and a life that seemed to have no end but could not be omitted was really overwhelming.
Until she thought about the possibility of spending her life with Shen Chen.
All these fears and worries suddenly disappeared.
It is much happier to have someone you can trust and don't hate in your life than to fight alone.
Her life was never going to be smooth sailing.
From the very beginning, before she was born, her mother had been framed, and those who framed them never thought they were wrong.
From childhood to adulthood, she has lived under the calculations or malice of others.
Fighting against the sky and against people is endless fun. She has long been accustomed to such a life. If she has Shen Chen to accompany her, such days will be less scary.
Yuqing was a little confused when she saw that she didn't say anything but just smiled, but she knew that she had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
Wei An has always had her own opinions on things, and she rarely changes what she has decided.
In this case, those of them who have already decided to follow her should not back down.
The second and third wives also came over soon. Because they left in such a hurry, they were a little worried. They told Wei An to take good care of Old Madam Wei and to come back and report if he encountered any danger.
The second wife was still worried: "I'm afraid the people you brought with you are still not enough..."
It’s a pity that Wei Rui is not here now.
Wei An smiled and said, "That's enough. The escort agency has escort masters following us, and we also brought our old guards with us. We have enough people."
She knew that the second and third wives were worried about Old Madam Wei, so she comforted them and told them not to worry: "I won't put the old lady in danger, Second and Third Aunts don't have to worry."
The Second Madam sighed, "That's not what we meant. The old lady herself said that even if there was no such thing, she would still go to Fujian. It's just a few days earlier or later. We are just worried about you. After all, this is the time of crisis. If we bring up the matter of Pingxi Hou, we will offend those who want to deal with Pingxi Hou."
In fact, Wei An has a good impression of both aunts.
They are all ordinary people who will calculate gains and losses for their own interests, but they always have their own bottom line and will never do anything extreme.
If you treat them well, they will treat you well.
People’s hearts are not so hard, so it is comfortable for them to get along with each other.
Wei An thought about this, listened to their instructions quietly, and agreed to them one by one very carefully.
When it was time to see him off in the evening, the second and third wives were really worried, so they also went to the dock to see him off.
The second and third masters repeatedly told Wei Jie who was going with them: "You are the only one in the family who can go with you. You are the elder brother, so you must take good care of your grandmother and your younger sister."
Wei Jie didn't understand why the itinerary was changed again and again, postponed and then brought forward, but he knew the importance of the instructions from the third and second masters. He pursed his lips and responded solemnly.
The second master looked at Wei An deeply again and said softly: "An An, have a safe journey. Second uncle is waiting for you to come back, and then he will open the plum blossom wine that Second uncle has hidden for many years for you."
The third master followed suit and said, "Don't be impulsive. If you have any difficulties, be sure to write back. Although we may not be able to help you much, we still have some skills and can always find a way."
