Chapter 417 Unwilling to Recognize
Chapter 417 Unwilling to Recognize
Soon, Pang Tuo received Wu Weiwei's task.
When Pang Tuo heard that Wu Weiwei had asked him to secretly investigate Hong Fu Lou, he was puzzled, but he knew that Wu Weiwei must have had a reason for asking him to do this.
"Tell the owner to wait, I'll go to Hung Fook Restaurant right away."
As luck would have it, when Pang Tuo arrived, he happened to run into a group of the Crown Prince's men having a meal.
Upon seeing Pang Tuo, a slender man hooked his arm around Pang Tuo's back.
"Dude, how did you know I was here? Come on, let's grab a drink!"
Fat Tuo laughed!
What I'm waiting for is your words.
After a few drinks, Fatty Tuo walked out of Hongfu Restaurant.
He glanced back at the restaurant's signboard, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
Mei Lane.
Pang Tuo informed Wu Weiwei of the information he had received.
Upon hearing his words, Wu Weiwei's expression changed instantly.
Chunxiao, on the other hand, was holding the hilt of her sword.
"Master, should we infiltrate the post station now and capture that Xiliang princess alive?"
Seeing Chunxiao so excited, Wu Weiwei placed her hand on the hilt of the sword that Chunxiao was about to draw.
"No!"
"Master, in my opinion, Princess Yazhen is not a threat. The real danger lies with her accomplice, Prince Min!"
Pang Tuo stepped forward and analyzed the situation.
"Pang Tuo, based on your understanding of the Crown Prince these past few days, if we get rid of Prince Min, will he interfere?"
"This……"
Pang Tuo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
During this period, he repeatedly heard from the Crown Prince about the Emperor's plans for Prince Min, which seemed to indicate that the Emperor intended to groom him as an assistant to the Crown Prince.
If the master wants to get rid of Prince Min, then the Crown Prince will probably not be able to get through.
Pang Tuo told Wu Weiwei what he had learned.
Upon hearing his words, Wu Weiwei looked at Pang Tuo with an unreadable expression in her eyes.
"Then let Prince Min live for now, but..."
"But what?"
Lingfu said urgently.
If Wanqiu hadn't held her back, Lingfu probably would have already voiced her opinion.
I thought the banquet tomorrow was really arranged by the Crown Prince of Xiliang, but I never expected it to be a trap set by that wicked princess for her master.
If the young lady goes there unprepared tomorrow, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others' schemes?
Lingfu was so angry that her hands and feet trembled.
Wu Weiwei's eyes sharpened instantly as she looked at the two impulsive maids beside her.
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite jade bottle from her bosom.
This bottle of medicine was left to her by Xiao Qingyu some time ago, and now it's time to put it to use.
"You don't need to worry about me. I won't let any of those who dare to scheme against me get away with it!"
When Old Li saw Pang Tuo off at the gate, he found Ling Chu still waiting outside the mansion.
He looked up at the person whose head was drooping.
"Bring it here!"
The master just instructed that if the princess's men are still guarding the door, leave their letter there.
Upon hearing the voice, Ling Chu's eyes flashed with excitement, and she hurriedly handed the letter in her hand to Old Li.
"Did your employer say anything else?"
After waiting all day, Ling Chu hoped that Wu Weiwei could ask him to pass on a few words to the Princess.
Old Li glanced coldly at Ling Chu.
"no!"
He then closed the door again.
The Princess's Villa.
Seeing Ling Chu return looking dejected, Hua Yi patted his shoulder and asked, "Ling Chu, what kind of person do you think our princess is?"
Hearing Hua Yi's words, Ling Chu looked up at her.
All I could see was a look of mockery in her eyes.
Through these interactions, Ling Chu's perception of Wu Weiwei is changing.
You might say she doesn't crave wealth and status, but she's single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder, whether it's becoming Lu Hanting's concubine or offering medicine to save the emperor.
But if she were truly cunning, she should have stopped when her master came to her door to show weakness today.
Instead of simply pushing the eldest princess forward, which would not only cause her to lose face, but might also anger her master, ultimately resulting in nothing being gained.
Seeing Ling Chu scratching her head, Hua Yi sneered.
"Ha, can't figure it out, can you? If she could make you figure it out, she wouldn't be an ordinary woman!"
"Aunt Huayi, you..."
Ling Chu wanted to refute her, but she didn't know where to begin.
After all, everything that happened today is a fact.
I believe that by tomorrow, the entire capital will know that Wu Weiwei is the princess who was lost for sixteen years.
At that time, whether they are royalty or commoners, they will probably be shocked.
Perhaps the Emperor will spare Wu Weiwei from the marriage alliance out of consideration for the Eldest Princess.
In this way, wouldn't she have achieved her goal of using the eldest princess?
Could this be Wu Weiwei's plan?
If that's the case, then she's far too cunning.
Just as the two finished speaking, Granny Shi walked in.
Seeing the hint of sarcasm that Hua Yi hadn't had time to hide at the corner of her mouth, Granny Shi frowned.
Just as Granny Shi was about to speak, Hua Yi noticed and quickly left.
After the person left, Granny Shi said unhappily, "Lingchu, what did she say again?"
Shi Mama knew Hua Yi better than anyone; she had watched her grow up since she was a child.
She was a bully who looked down on those in power and relied on her position as a senior servant of the princess to particularly enjoy attacking newcomers.
If she weren't still loyal to her mistress, she wouldn't have allowed her to return to the Princess's residence.
Lingchu looked at Granny Shi.
"Granny, who do you think the princess resembles?"
Ling Chu didn't dare to say that Wu Weiwei was scheming, so she asked the question from a different angle.
"Are you asking about Princess Wei'er?"
Ling Chu nodded.
Granny Shi fell silent.
After a long pause, he said, "Lingchu, you want to ask me if the princess is full of scheming thoughts, right?"
Seeing that Granny Shi understood what she meant, Ling Chu smiled sheepishly.
After seeing Ling Chu's expression, Granny Shi said helplessly, "Did Hua Yi just say something bad about Princess Wei'er?"
Don't listen to her gossiping behind your back.
In my opinion, Princess Wei'er is a very good person; she's someone who sticks to her principles and stays true to herself!
She wasn't just saying that randomly.
Although she was the eldest princess's person, she should have protected her mistress in principle.
Since Ke Lingchu has asked this question, she will answer him from a normal person's perspective today.
The eldest princess did so many bad things to Princess Wei'er in the early stages because she listened to He Yuyan, that fake princess, although she regretted it now that she knew.
But the mistake has already been made, and now that the eldest princess wants to acknowledge Princess Wei'er as her daughter, she will inevitably suffer mistreatment.
But how long she has to endure this is not up to her; it depends on Princess Wei'er's side.
"But the eldest princess's status is extraordinary; she is a member of the imperial family in the Great Wei Dynasty."
"If the princess were to acknowledge our master, all the difficulties she faces would be easily resolved! Why is she still insisting?"
"Lingchu, Lingchu, that's why you can only be a spy."
If your loved ones conspired with others to harm you, but your enemies are still living freely and happily, while the person who vowed to make amends hasn't even bothered to avenge you, how would you feel?
"Granny, you mean?"
Ling Chu stared wide-eyed.
Granny Shi nodded, "That makes sense."
Although He Yuyan's reputation has been tarnished, she still lives a carefree life thanks to her father's official power.
Not long after, it was said that she might be able to marry into the Ping Le Marquis's household, but her master did not retaliate against her. Although she wanted to persuade him, alas...
The princess outside turned pale as she listened to Granny Shi's words.
Could it be that what Granny Shi said is the reason why Wei'er is unwilling to acknowledge her?
