Chapter IV: Initiating an investigation
Motioning for Cuiqin to step forward, Wu Tianrou leaned over and said a few words in her ear.
Cuiqin raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this, and then nodded calmly.
"Miss, don't worry, the slave knows how to do it."
"Well, if you find anything, tell me in time, don't startle the snake." After instructing Cuiqin a few words, Wu Tianrou waved her hand and let her go down.
Looking at Wu Tianrou's movements and Cuiqin's movements, Cuiping was a little puzzled.
Before she could express her doubts, Wu Tianrou had already turned her head to look at her.
"Cui Ping, I remember that your brother worked as a nurse in the front yard, right? It's called Fu Hai, right? ”
"Yes, miss." I don't understand why Wu Tianrou suddenly asked about her brother, Cuiping was full of doubts.
"When you go to him, you say let him do something for me, and when it's done, I'll transfer him to the supervisor to buy."
"Brother Cuiping, thank you, Miss!" Hearing Wu Tianrou's words, Cuiping's face was full of joy. You must know that the purchase of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a lot of oil and water, and ordinary people can't sit in this position.
"I wonder what Miss needs the slave's brother to do?"
"You asked him to go to the place where I had an accident and investigate it carefully, and I suspect that my fall into the water was not an accident. You have to let your brother investigate this matter quietly, and you can't attract attention. Cuiping is completely trustworthy, so Wu Tianrou didn't hide it from her.
"And I suspect that our Yunxiang Courtyard is not very peaceful, and some people's hands are really a little long!"
"Not an accident!"
Widening her eyes in surprise, Cui Ping couldn't help shouting for a while, and then immediately reacted and whispered.
"Miss means that we have spies here, and someone wants to harm Miss."
"Yes, so I need someone I can trust to investigate for me, you, Cuiqin, and Cuizhi are the people I trust the most. It's just that Cuizhi is too out-of-the-box and not suitable for these things. ”
Holding Cui Ping's hand, Wu Tianrou looked into her eyes.
"Cuiping, can I trust you and your brother?"
"Miss rest assured, Cui Ping will never betray Miss. The slave maid and the elder brother are both born in the family, Lao Tzu Niang has been working in the Wu family for several generations, and the slave and maid family will not betray the young lady. Cui Ping said firmly, kneeling on the ground to show his loyalty.
Pulling Cui Ping up, Wu Tianrou patted her hand, "I believe in you." You go, don't sue Cuizhi for the time being, she is too innocent and won't hide her feelings, I'm afraid she will ruin things. ”
Cui Ping nodded in understanding, and Lala walked out of the door with a calm face.
There are four big girls among them, but the young lady is the only one who does not mention Cuixue. Cui Ping is also a person with a clear mind, and after a little thought, he understands a little.
"Cuizhi, Miss wants to eat walnut crisp made in the big kitchen, I'll go get some back, you have to take care of Miss know." After deliberately explaining Cuizhi loudly outside the door, Cuiping turned around and walked out of Yunxiang Courtyard.
Listening to the movement outside the house, Wu Tianrou nodded with satisfaction, it seems that a few of her personal maids are still useful.
Before dinner, Master Wu Yunyang, Mrs. Wu, and Wu Zixu came over to see Wu Tianrou again. It wasn't until they were repeatedly sure that she was okay that Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu left Yunxiang Courtyard with Wu Zixu with confidence.
Reliving her life gave her a deeper experience of caring for her family. In his previous life, he would only dislike his father and mother, and he didn't give a good face when they came to see him. Thinking about it now, it's like having your head taken away, and it's stupid.
Seeing off her father and brother, Wu Tianrou looked at Cuiqin who came in with dinner and smiled slightly.
"Cui Xue, you go and check everywhere, lock the courtyard door if there is nothing to do. I'm tired today, and no one is gone, so you can go eat when you're done. Cuizhi also go down to eat, it's enough to have Cuiping and Cuiqin to serve here. ”
"Yes."
After Cui Xue and Cui Zhi took the order, Cui Ping quietly walked to the door and observed for a while, and then signaled that there was no one outside the door.
"How?" Wu Tianrou looked at Cuiqin.
As Miss expected, Cuixue really found an excuse to leave Yunxiang Courtyard in the afternoon. The slave followed her all the way and watched her enter the pomegranate courtyard. ”
"Pomegranate Courtyard, isn't that the courtyard where Miss Tang lives?" Cui Ping on the side said in surprise when he heard it. "I always thought that Cui Xue would be the second miss or Aunt Liu's person."
In fact, at the beginning, Cuiqin's thoughts were the same as Cuiping's, and when the two saw Wu Tianrou's appearance that they were not surprised at all, they both felt that the young lady seemed to have become mysterious, and they immediately stood in awe.
"Cuiping, your brother, you let him find out as much as he can. Cuiqin, during this time, you are responsible for monitoring Cuixue's every move. After thinking for a while, Wu Tianrou commanded.
Picking up the soup, the rising heat covered the coldness in Wu Tianrou's eyes. The show is about to begin, and this life will definitely not be at the mercy of others again.
In the dead of night, everyone in Yunxiangyuan has also fallen asleep.
Although her body was weak and she was mentally exhausted from thinking too much during the day, Wu Tianrou felt that she was not sleepy at all.
There is no daytime calculation, but when I calm down, I only feel lonely and cold. The past passed in front of her one by one, which only made Wu Tianrou's hatred burn more and more in her heart, and her hand unconsciously grabbed the brocade quilt.
I don't know how long it took, the fragments of the past came one after another, until her son Situ Yifeng's little face crossed, and Wu Tianrou finally couldn't help but shed tears. "Feng'er, it was my mother who hurt you!"
"Mother, mother doesn't cry, the wind is always there."
Suddenly, a familiar voice floated into his ears, which made Wu Tianrou startled and then hurriedly sat up.
"Feng'er, where are you?"
"Miss, what's wrong?" Cuizhi, who was on night duty outside, woke up when she heard the movement and asked hurriedly.
A little candlelight lit up, Wu Tianrou looked up expectantly, but found that it was Cuizhi who walked in with a candlestick.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? ”
As soon as she saw Wu Tianrou sitting on the bed with her hair scattered, her face still full of tears, Cuizhi was immediately startled, and hurriedly walked over after putting the candlestick on the table.
Finding that the person who came was not Situ Yifeng, Wu Tianrou closed her eyes in disappointment. Realizing that she was dreaming just now, she bit her lip in pain, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Miss, don't scare me, I'll go to Sister Cuiping immediately, and find someone to call the doctor immediately."
Seeing Wu Tianrou's pale face and tears, Cuizhi, who was already young, immediately became chaotic.
"No, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare and was a little frightened."
grabbed Cuizhi's arm who stood up, Wu Tianrou took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the grief surging in her heart.
"It's getting late, don't bother others anymore, otherwise everyone will be in peace tonight."
"Then Miss, you ......"
"It's okay, you go down and rest, just leave the candlestick to me."
Seeing Cuizhi walk out with a worried face, Wu Tianrou lay back on the bed, looking at the little candlelight in her eyes, her face slowly regained calm.
What should be faced will eventually be faced, and she will turn this grief into strength, into the power of her revenge.
