Chapter 154 Cuckold
He Yuyan didn't understand.
Not long ago, Xiao Rong was slapped by Wu Weiwei.
But why would he kneel down to her in front of everyone today?
Dingxiang noticed that her daughter was puzzled.
So she told him what she had heard from the servants.
"So, what Aunt Wu said about Xiao Rong's bad luck was this?"
Dingxiang nodded, it seemed so.
He Yuyan looked at Wu Weiwei with a strange expression.
Could she be a fortune teller?
No, it's impossible.
She was more inclined to believe that Wu Weiwei had used underhanded tactics on the Crown Prince to get him to help her deal with Prefect Deng.
Looking at the young Rong Shi kneeling at her feet, Wu Weiwei smiled and said:
“Madam Deng, you’ve knelt in the wrong place. I can’t save your husband.”
But I can give you a piece of advice: you should think about how to avoid getting involved in your husband's case.
If she remembered correctly.
Within half a month, Deng Weishan will be convicted by the emperor.
To avoid being implicated, Xiao Rongshi took her two daughters to the prison and forced Deng Weishan to write a letter of divorce for her.
Thinking about the exciting plot that would unfold later, Wu Weiwei smiled.
Then he walked towards his own courtyard.
Seeing Wu Weiwei leave, Xiao Rongshi, who was kneeling, was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the pitying looks on everyone's faces, Xiao Rongshi turned purple with anger.
"What are you looking at? Get out of my way..."
She will repay today's humiliation tenfold in the future.
Seeing the hatred in Xiao Rongshi's eyes, He Yuyan whispered something in Dingxiang's ear.
Then Dingxiang walked towards Xiao Rongshi.
Wu Weiwei returned to the courtyard.
Wanqiu told her that Xiaoshitou had returned from Jiangnan.
They are currently waiting inside the hall.
Wu Weiwei raised her eyebrows and went inside.
"Little Stone, did you find anything out on this trip to Jiangnan?"
"Master, you guessed right, the third young master..."
Little Stone looked up at Wu Weiwei and whispered, "He... he's not the Marquis's child!"
"what?"
Lingfu and Wanqiu stared wide-eyed, wondering what secret they had overheard!
Wu Weiwei knew their reaction after hearing this, so she hadn't told them about her suspicions beforehand.
Little Stone has now confirmed her suspicions.
However, her face remained calm.
She had seen this kind of thing many times in modern times, so it didn't surprise her much.
Thinking about how the Marquis had been cuckolded and had even raised someone else's son for eight years for nothing.
He must be very angry when he finds out.
According to Xiao Shitou's investigation, before the third young master of the Shenghou Mansion.
After a quarrel with the Marquis, Lady Rong and her sixth daughter stayed at the villa for a month.
Before this, Ma Hongmao had also come to Beijing to relax because of business setbacks.
Moreover, it seems that he lived in a villa in the suburbs of Beijing owned by the Rong family in Jiangnan, not far from the Marquis's villa.
Coincidentally, during this time, the Marquis became infatuated with a charming young widow.
Therefore, he did not focus too much attention on his third concubine.
It was during this month that Rong and Ma Hongmao began to seduce each other.
Thinking about the two of them having an affair, and the fact that they had produced "evidence" of their infidelity.
Wu Weiwei smiled.
"And one more thing……"
"Say!"
"When I returned, I discovered that the Rong family seemed to be plotting something extraordinary."
I asked around and it seems that someone in the Rong family obtained a secret medicine formula.
I heard they have successfully developed the medicine.
We're hiring now to rush production..."
"What did you say?"
Wu Weiwei was surprised.
Not only Wu Weiwei, but the two maids who heard Xiao Shitou's words also widened their eyes.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
The little stone scratched its head.
"Tell me in detail about the Rong family's secret recipe..."
Wu Weiwei said excitedly.
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
Unexpectedly, she was here asking someone to catch a thief, but Little Stone's trip to Jiangnan inadvertently helped her catch the thief who stole the secret recipe.
It seems that all of this is inextricably linked to the Rong family.
It's true what they say: if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring.
If they had known that the third wife's family was so troublesome, they shouldn't have let them go in the first place.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Although she now has the evidence of Rong's adultery, and knows that her elixir formula was stolen by the Rong family of Jiangnan.
However, her current strength does not allow it; she does not yet possess the ability to bring down the Rong family, a powerful merchant family.
Seeing Wu Weiwei frown, Xiao Shitou suddenly said, "Auntie, I heard some news on my way back."
"what news?"
"It is said that the opening day of the Beijing medicinal materials market will be in three days."
As one of the giants of the Wei Dynasty's medicinal herb merchants, Ma Hongmao will inevitably come to the capital to participate, and then..."
Little Stone told Wu Weiwei about his plan to seduce the wolf.
As she listened to Xiao Shitou's plan, Wu Weiwei's eyes lit up with a smile.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Little Stone, you're so clever!"
Wu Weiwei praised him highly.
If the plan succeeds.
At that time, her business empire will expand even further.
Moreover, they might be able to eliminate the Rong family and their right-hand men along the way.
"Little Stone, if this can be accomplished..."
"I'll promote you to head of my Jade Butterfly Intelligence Bureau later."
Small stones are good for gathering intelligence.
Then he can find a few more skilled people, and Little Stone will be in charge of gathering intelligence for her.
Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Xiao Shitou's eyes crinkled with a smile.
"Thank you, Auntie! Thank you, Auntie!"
Who would have thought that Little Stone would one day become a manager?
After Xiao Shitou left, Wu Weiwei ordered someone to call over Granny Mei and the others from the pharmacy.
"Hello, Aunt Wu."
"Hello, Aunt Wu."
"Hello, sir."
The three greeted each other in unison.
"Su Xing, are you getting used to life at the Marquis's residence?"
Wu Weiwei asked the small, thin girl in front of her.
"Master, there is food, drink and a place to sleep here."
"Being able to eat hot white rice every day is so much better than this dilapidated temple..."
Ten-year-old Su Xing said happily with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Su Xing was discovered by Xiao Shitou in the dilapidated temple.
He brought her back and recommended her to himself after learning about her special abilities.
It just so happens that Wu Weiwei's pharmacy's research and development lab needs such a skilled person, so for now, Granny Mei is taking care of her.
"Used to it."
Wu Weiwei nodded.
Seeing the dark circles under their eyes, Wu Weiwei felt a pang of pity.
"Granny Mei, if it really doesn't work, let's stick to the original prescription!"
Although the Rong family had already produced the Baoji Ginseng Pills that they had stolen their prescription from.
But so what?
They were the ones who developed this first, so how dare they turn around and bite the hand that feeds them?
Granny Mei shook her head.
"It won't work, Auntie. The prescription is good, but it has one flaw..."
"What flaw?"
Wu Weiwei was puzzled.
Granny Mei looked at her cousin.
“Caiyun, you adjusted this formula. Tell your aunt about the drawbacks of this pill.”
Chen Caiyun took out a notebook.
“Auntie, I added a medicinal herb to the Baoji Ginseng Pills I made before.”
When I was organizing the data later, I found that the dosage of this herb needed to be strictly controlled.
If too little is used, the pill's effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
However, if taken in excess, it could have the opposite effect on someone who truly needs life-saving treatment…
