Chapter 255 Careful work
Seeing Wu Weiwei's smiling face, Ling Fu felt helpless.
The master and servant came to the door.
Seeing her aunt looking at her, Lingfu finally mustered up her courage and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Xiao Qingyu's gentle voice came from inside.
Jian Qing pressed his forehead, surprised that someone had actually come to visit. He just didn't know who it was.
There was only a squeak.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Their eyes met, and an atmosphere of ambiguity instantly filled the air.
Wu Weiwei looked at the gentle gentleman who was smiling tenderly at her with her bright eyes.
"Young Master Xiao, what brings you here so late at night?"
Wu Weiwei's words surprised Xiao Qingyu.
Shouldn't he be the one to say that?
Of course, perhaps we should put it another way: what was she after coming here so late at night?
However, speaking while standing at the door is clearly not the proper way to treat a guest, especially in the middle of the night, which could easily arouse suspicion.
But since she was already there, Wu Weiwei naturally had to do something.
At Xiao Qingyu's signal, Jianqing and Lingfu stood guard outside.
"Miss Wei, please have a seat."
Xiao Qingyu poured her a cup of tea.
Wu Weiwei nodded to him.
While drinking tea, Wu Weiwei glanced around the room out of the corner of her eye.
But on the table to the side, several exquisite dishes were laid out. Except for a plate of shredded bamboo shoots that looked like it had been touched, the other dishes were untouched.
Haha, could this dish of shredded bamboo shoots have been tampered with?
Seeing his warm smile as he greeted her, she knew he hadn't eaten the dish.
"Miss Wei, you just said that I invited you here late at night. Is there any explanation for that?"
Wu Weiwei handed over the note from her sleeve.
Xiao Qingyu took it and unfolded it.
After seeing the above content, he frowned slightly.
"This is not my handwriting. Miss Wei has probably been set up!"
"Is Young Master Xiao afraid?"
Wu Weiwei chuckled softly.
"Xiao has always acted on his own whims and has never been afraid of anything."
"But Miss Wei, do you realize what the consequences would be if we were caught alone in a room late at night by someone with malicious intent?"
Xiao Qingyu looked at the calm and composed woman opposite him, feeling genuinely curious.
She clearly knew this was a trap set by someone else, so why did she still obediently fall into it?
Isn't she afraid that her third junior brother will find out and come to catch them in the act?
From the moment Wu Weiwei knocked on the door, Xiao Qingyu knew that she wasn't the one who put the aphrodisiac in his food.
Why do I say that?
It must be the feeling she gives off!
Of course, it was mostly his intuition.
Although it wasn't her, Xiao Qingyu knew that the woman in front of him wanted to use him.
Seeing the gentle smile on Xiao Qingyu's face, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Lu Hanting's senior brother is indeed no pushover.
He could tell at a glance that his motives were impure.
However, she didn't care what he thought of her.
"Young Master Xiao, if I were to say that I want to use you to achieve something tonight, would you be angry?"
He saw Wu Weiwei looking at him playfully.
For the first time, Xiao Qingyu showed a bitter smile.
If he's unwilling, wouldn't she do it?
But now that she has clearly done it, she comes to tell me about it.
Xiao Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled gently at her.
"Miss Wei's appearance seems to differ somewhat from what your brother described!"
Strangely, he wasn't angry at what she was doing.
Perhaps it was out of sympathy that he felt for her after seeing how she was treated by her third junior brother today?
Seeing that he didn't seem angry, Wu Weiwei thought about her younger brother's incident earlier that day and asked in confusion, "Young Master Xiao, could you explain to me why my brother knelt before the young master today?"
If this problem isn't resolved, she might not be able to sleep well in the future.
Wu Weiwei mentioned this matter.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Qingyu said, "Miss Wei, if I told you that your brother is not actually your biological brother, what would you do?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiwei looked up into the man's dark, calm eyes.
"I believe."
Why?
From the original owner's memories, Wu Weiwei recalled how her scholar father held her hand tightly as he died during a plague in her hometown.
He told her to take good care of her younger brother, and said that Ranran was more important to him than his own life.
At the time, she didn't understand, but thought that Ranran was going to carry on the Wu family line, which was why her father gave her those instructions.
She then protected Wu Heran all the way to the capital. Originally, Wu Weiwei didn't have to sell herself into the Marquis's mansion.
However, when Wu Heran was dying from the plague and had no money for treatment, the original owner remembered her father's instructions and, out of filial piety, sold herself into the Marquis's mansion as a maid to save her younger brother's life.
So when Xiao Qingyu said that Ranran was not her biological brother, she was not too shocked.
as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.
Even she wouldn't be too surprised if someone told her one day that she wasn't the old scholar's son.
To be honest, Xiao Qingyu was surprised that Wu Weiwei accepted so easily.
Xiao Qingyu told her that Wu Weiwei's father, the old scholar, was actually the brother of the old emperor's favorite concubine in the Northern Frontier Kingdom.
Throughout history, the Northern Frontier Dynasty has revered emperors who were capable and appointed them to the throne.
According to the rules of our ancestors, the crown prince was never chosen too early.
This led to princes secretly fighting each other for the throne.
Back when the old emperor of the Northern Frontier was still in power, there were eight adult princes who vied for the throne.
In the end, the battle resulted in mutual destruction, and the old emperor was even killed by the sixth prince who usurped the throne during this conflict.
In the end, the sixth prince did not sit on the throne for more than a few days.
He was then murdered by the powerful minister, now the regent Masayoshi Son, along with a fake ninth prince, under the pretext of "purging the court of corrupt officials."
The sixth prince left him a letter before he died.
He hoped that Xiao Qingyu could help the Northern Frontier royal family find the ninth prince born to Consort Nian, the favorite concubine of the old emperor, so that he could inherit the throne.
Wu Weiwei's father, Wu Xiucai, fled in a sorry state with the Ninth Prince and later returned to his hometown of Baizhou, where he lived a life of seclusion in a remote countryside with his wife and daughter.
"So, you want to take the Ninth Prince, Ranran, back to the Northern Frontier?"
Wu Weiwei was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Ranran's identity was so noble; she was actually a descendant of the Northern Frontier Emperor.
No wonder he wouldn't let Ranran kneel before the Crown Prince yesterday.
What is Lu Hanting? He's nothing but a fart.
An arrogant and self-important person with absolutely no emotional intelligence, a total love-obsessed individual.
It's unclear what Emperor Mingcheng thought of him in the first place, allowing him to lead the 300,000-strong army of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Or perhaps it should be said that it was precisely because the Great Wei Dynasty had run out of capable people that it was the turn of the love-struck Lu Hanting to take the stage.
“Miss Wei, the Northern Frontier is currently in turmoil, and we need the Ninth Prince to return to assist in quelling the rebellion. Could you persuade him to return with me?”
She was facing a handsome man who looked at her with tenderness and expectation.
Wu Weiwei pondered to herself.
Ranran will definitely return to the Northern Frontier to inherit the throne, not only for him but also for herself.
“Young Master Xiao, I will certainly try to persuade you, but before that, I have something I need to trouble you with…”
Lu Hanting's face turned ashen after he came out of Qiu Xinyuan.
"What exactly happened? When did Aomatsuin infiltrate a spy?"
Liu Yun stammered, "Your Highness, this..."
Seeing his hesitant manner, Lu Hanting immediately lost his temper.
"Say!"
Liu Yun knelt down, "Young Master, the person was arranged to be brought in by the Lady of the Marquis..."
