Chapter 182 Wu Mei Returns
Wu Mei was thinking all the way: When she heard her two brothers describe how Sister Feng's Kung Fu was so superb, she couldn't believe it. But thinking that her brothers would not lie to her, Wu Mei gritted her teeth and got along with the Feng sisters all the way.
I followed the Cao family's men all the way and felt that the Feng sisters were always at the forefront and always protecting me.
Gradually, Wu Mei even began to doubt herself, wondering if she was being too suspicious!
Now that they are finally back, Wu Mei feels like she is finally going to see the light of day. Thanks to the Feng sisters, the three of them were able to find a escort team in Xunyang City for their return trip.
The three of them had a chance to follow the Cao family's carriage silently, and they could see Xunyang City in the distance ahead.
The Cao family's convoy was slowly entering the city gate. This time, when the Cao family entered Shangjing, they delivered the large boxes to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. When returning to the city, the convoy was followed by two carriages and a small team of guards.
Although the two carriages did not have too many decorations on the outside and looked ordinary, just two small blue cloth carriages, the coachmen driving them were tall and strong, and looked more like guards.
"Wu Mei, do you still need to follow us after we enter the city?"
Wu Mei thought that she would go back to the mansion to report to the young lady, so she said:
"You two continue to follow the carriage and see what they do next."
Sister Feng promised:
"Leave it to us. We'll notify you if anything happens." The three girls went their separate ways after entering the city.
Wu Mei left the escort car and returned to Yongxing Lane. The escort car went directly to Dongsheng Inn. Feng Jie was followed by three people dressed as escorts, who sneaked into Cao's house again before Cao's men.
Wang Jinyi was studying seriously in the morning light, and her mother's gentle voice rang softly:
"The peach tree is young and tender, its flowers are bright and beautiful, the girl is getting married, and she is suitable for her family. The peach tree is young and tender, its leaves are lush, the girl is getting married, and she is suitable for her family..."
While her mother was still explaining, Wang Jinyi watched her lips opening and closing, and her mind wandered: In her previous life, she had dreamed of a grand Chinese-style wedding. At the wedding ceremony, Chen Zhiyuan, wearing a tall crown and a wide robe, and she, wearing a grand and gorgeous dress, would go hand in hand and walk towards...
Just as she was thinking about it, Qing'er came in from outside the door and whispered a few words to her mother. Her mother stopped and asked:
"What about people?"
"Outside the young lady's room."
Wang Jinyi heard, who? The one who could enter the second gate was still in front of her own door. Without thinking, it must be Wu Mei who had been gone for twenty days.
The mother glanced at her daughter and asked:
"Did you understand what Mom just said?"
"I understand. It's a congratulatory message to a girl who is getting married. It's all nice words."
"Did Jiner write it down?"
Wang Jinyi understood that her mother wanted her to handle her own affairs, so she stood up obediently, put her hands behind her back, and began to recite seriously:
"The peach blossoms are blooming brightly..."
The mother nodded and said seriously:
"No matter what you let Wu Mei go out to do, remember, you are a member of the Wang family. The trouble you cause will affect the entire Wang family."
Wang Jinyi nodded in agreement.
"Mother, Jin'er will do it carefully. If you don't understand, just ask. Don't cause trouble for the family."
"Jin'er, tell mother, you let Wumei go away for so long and gave her forty taels of silver. What did she do with it?!"
"Mother?"
Wang Jinyi made a decision after a brief reaction. Now he could no longer handle the affairs of the Cao family independently by his own ability, and he needed his grandfather's help.
"Mother, Cao An's family discovered a mineral vein and wanted to mine it privately. They have already sent the ore to the capital. I asked Wu Mei to follow them. I want to know who their master is and what they want to do!"
When the mother heard this, she stood up in shock and pointed at the child and said:
"You are so brave! How dare you get involved in this kind of thing? You should know that illegal mining is a capital crime. In order to avoid leaving any traces, they will kill people to silence them!"
The mother pointed her finger at her daughter's forehead.
"You, how can you be so brave?"
Wang Jinyi saw her mother's angry look and knew that she was worried about her, so she stretched out her two little hands and held her mother's hands.
"Mother, Wumei is fine and has returned. That means no one has found her. I'm going to listen to what she has found. Mother is listening outside the door. Do you think this is okay?"
The mother stared silently at her daughter who wanted to make a scene.
"What exactly do you want to do?!"
The mother herself didn't have an opinion for the moment and decided to find out the situation first.
Wang Jinyi saw that her mother had no objection, so she said goodbye and left. She saw the dusty Wu Mei, who saluted as soon as she saw her.
Wang Jinyi took a few quick steps, grabbed Wu Mei's clothes, and said hurriedly:
"Come on, let's go back to the house and talk."
"Zhu Yu, go ask Wen Bai if he has sorted out yesterday's poems. Ask him to finish sorting them out as soon as possible. My great-uncle wants to review them today."
"Nurse, check if there is any food in the kitchen? Ask them to prepare some."
Wang Jinyi sent everyone away and led Wu Mei into the house. Then Wang Jinyi asked directly:
"Sister Wu, are the Feng sisters back?" Wang Jinyi asked directly after entering the house.
"Yes, miss, but I left them to work."
"Qingyu, you stay outside the door and don't let anyone disturb us."
Sister Wu watched the young lady making arrangements in an orderly manner, while she did not forget to close the door tightly.
"Sister Wu, you've worked hard on the journey. Go get yourself some water!"
Wang Jinyi climbed up the chair and sat down while giving instructions.
Wu Mei first poured a glass of water for the young lady, respectfully offering it to her with both hands, and then drank two large glasses of water in a row before stopping, casually wiping her mouth with her sleeve, and speaking:
"Miss, the Cao family sent the stuff to the Right Prime Minister's residence. When they came back, there were five more guards and two carriages. The people in the carriages were too far away to see clearly, but they looked like two scholars. I could see clearly that they were wearing scholar's robes when getting on and off the carriages."
"After the process, I have asked the Wen sisters to follow up and see what the Cao family will do next. I will come back and report to you in a hurry..."
"Wu Mei, has your brother told you about Sister Risk?"
"Miss, I was just about to say that my brother described Sister Feng's martial arts to me. She was so good that she could even climb over the wall like it was a piece of cake. She even jumped out of the inn where we were staying without making any sound."
"Sister Wu, your brother sent me a letter saying that Sister Feng left marks along the way to indicate the direction. How did she explain it?"
"Miss, Fengmei followed us on the day we arrived in Shangjing. She said that she followed the road signs left by Fengmei all the way to find her way here. From what they said, the two sisters were concerned about each other and were worried that something might happen, so they asked Fengmei to follow behind so that they would have someone to help them if something happened."
After hearing this, Wang Jinyi felt that the explanation was far-fetched, but it was clever. It immediately resolved all previous suspicions, but it truly exposed the two people's extraordinary martial arts and impressive backgrounds.
If someone had sent them on purpose, why? What was the purpose?
