Chapter 269 The Position of Crown Princess? Unworthy of It
Wu Weiwei looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"what's up?"
Chen Furong didn't speak immediately, but a strange look appeared on her face.
"What's wrong, Furong?"
Wu Weiwei frowned.
Could it be that Lu Hanting found out about the Crown Prince's visit?
"Sister Weiwei, what I'm about to say might make you lose your appetite tonight..."
Wu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
What the hell is going on?
Seeing that Wu Weiwei had been piqued, Chen Furong said, "Xie Ningxin drank a young girl's heart's blood to cure her illness, and this morning the Xie family was sued!"
What?
"If the news hadn't come out, I really wouldn't have known that the Xie family had killed so many young girls for her, just to treat her facial sores..."
Xie Ningxin is truly wicked; how could she actually drink that…
When Chen Furong heard the news, she almost vomited up her dinner from the previous night.
Wu Weiwei asked calmly, "What did the Emperor say?"
It was only a matter of time before Xie Ningxin's heinous deeds were exposed, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly.
"Speaking of which, it was only because my senior brother was lucky that he managed to escape unscathed. You don't know that after this incident, the Emperor, out of consideration for my senior brother, actually canceled their engagement in front of all the officials..."
Wu Weiwei seemed to be deep in thought.
"By the way, when is your senior brother and Xie Ningxin's wedding?"
Chen Furong snapped out of her daze.
"I remember it's the 13th of next month..."
She looked at Wu Weiwei, her face filled with shock.
Could it be that the third senior brother revealed this?
Wu Weiwei nodded to her.
"Your senior brother isn't stupid. He probably found out about Xie Ningxin a long time ago, but he's just keeping it quiet!"
"They might be dissatisfied with the Xie family's treatment of Xie Ningxin, so..."
Ah, it seems the plot has been changed; Lu Hanting never married Xie Ningxin in this lifetime.
"Sister Weiwei, aren't you really losing out...?"
If Third Senior Brother doesn't marry Xie Ningxin as the Crown Prince's consort, then would Sister Weiwei have a chance?
Judging from her expression, Wu Weiwei knew what was on her mind.
“Furong, I’m not at a disadvantage. I’m not worthy of the position of Crown Prince’s consort. Besides, even if Xie Ningxin is gone, there will probably be someone else, like the one in the manor now…”
"You mean that ugly body double?"
Chen Furong was ashamed.
"That ugly character she doesn't even dare to show her face, she wants to rise to the top? Even if she wanted to, the Old Madam and the Lady of the Marquis would never allow it!"
Wu Weiwei chuckled.
Chen Furong is right. Even if she hadn't committed any offenses or angered any ministers or emperors before, based solely on her status as a merchant, the Marquis's mansion probably wouldn't have allowed her to rise to power.
What's more, she's now disfigured.
Speaking of disfigurement, Wu Weiwei thought of the Red Widow who was rescued by Little Stone.
Today is the third day, and I still don't know if Mr. Xiao's medicine is really effective.
A courtyard in Beijing.
"Brother Stone, I just gave her the last dose of the antidote. Do you think she'll really wake up?"
To think that someone could be resurrected after dying from poisoning is such a bizarre thing; to be honest, Xiaoqi finds it hard to believe.
"What are you saying? Mr. Xiao's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. If he says someone can wake up, then they can wake up."
Little Stone patted Little Seven on the head, telling him not to talk nonsense.
He was about to go out, but before he could even step out of the room, he heard a weak voice.
"Water, I want to drink water..."
Xiao Yuan was startled and looked at Xiao Shitou.
"Brother Stone, she's awake! She's really awake!"
Xiaoqi quickly got up and poured her a glass of water.
"Come on, the water's here!"
After lifting her up, Little Stone brought the water to her lips.
Qingying sipped her water, taking small sips from the rim of her cup.
"I'm not dead?"
She looked at the two unfamiliar men in front of her.
"Yes, you were hit by a poisoned bullet, and our boss had someone rescue you."
"Boss, who is your boss?"
“Our boss is Wu Weiwei, the aunt of Commander Lu. You were poisoned, and it was she who found the antidote and saved you!”
Qingying frowned.
Was it Wu Weiwei who saved her?
She vaguely remembered someone sneaking into the room, and just as she was about to scream, someone covered her mouth and fed her something.
Shortly afterward, I lost consciousness.
Remembering what Xiao Shitou had just said about her being infected with a red line, Qingying gripped the bed sheet tightly with her veins showing.
If I remember correctly, only black spiders, which are her sister Xie Yaoji, possess such venom.
She actually poisoned her own sister?
The widow's face darkened upon seeing the blood.
Little Stone asked worriedly, "Red Widow, are you... are you suffering from another attack of the poison?"
Qingying looked at the little stone.
"Red Widow is a code name. My real name is Qingying."
Her saying this signifies that she wants to make peace with the past.
"Qingying, that's a nice name."
"I knew it! Naming a little girl 'Red Widow' or 'Black Widow' is so awful!"
Little Stone smacked his lips as he spoke.
However, after he finished speaking, Qingying's sharp eyes swept over him.
He was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
"Tell me! What was Wu Weiwei's purpose in saving me? Does she want me to do things for her?"
Hearing Qingying's words, Xiaoshitou smiled broadly.
"Ha, you guessed it! But our boss said that your current task is to recover your health. As for what happens after you recover, you can stay if you want, or you can leave if you don't want to."
"Forced relationships are never sweet, and our employer won't force you to stay!"
The owner explained that although they had saved the Red Widow, she might not be grateful for their help.
If that's the case, then we should retreat in order to advance and gradually work our way up against her.
Despite her tough stance, she'll definitely soften over time, especially since she has no other options now.
If Shen Bazhi's men knew she was still alive, they certainly wouldn't let her go, so she had no choice but to obediently serve them.
Of course, Wu Weiwei wasn't just using her; she genuinely didn't want her to die a violent death.
After all, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
Haha, the last sentence was added by Little Stone himself.
Wu Weiwei's original words were that Red Widow was a useful person and was familiar with everything about the Black Hawk Gang.
Perhaps they will become an asset to them in the future.
Qingying looked at him suspiciously; she naturally didn't believe what Xiaoshitou said.
snort!
Regardless of what Wu Weiwei was thinking, the bottom line was: don't even think about letting her reveal any secrets about the Black Hawk Gang.
It wasn't that she was particularly loyal to Shen Bazhi or the Black Hawk Gang, but rather that she didn't believe Wu Weiwei was a good person.
As for Shen Bazhi, he ordered his men to silence her, but he himself had already died once.
Consider it repayment to the Black Hawk Gang and to Shen Bazhi for their kindness!
From now on, they will be strangers when they meet again!
Chulongzhou.
Shen Bazhi looked at the letter handed to him by his subordinate. In the letter, He Yuyan scolded him and ordered him to hand over the antidote for the Hundred-Day Gu.
Ah, the antidote?
Where did he get the antidote?
There was originally an antidote, and he had already left it for her, but unfortunately He Yuyan didn't know its value and let Qingying die!
Blame it?
"Hahahaha... Yan'er, this is all your own fault!"
Shen Bazhi laughed loudly, but tears welled up in his eyes.
Qingying is dead, and there is no antidote for the Hundred-Day Gu in this world!
