Chapter 847: Chapter 846: Urgent Matters at Home
As for Jin Lan wanting to take Purple Jade away, it was just a minor episode, and Wufu turned around and forgot about it.
On the other hand, Purple Jade quietly came to Wufu to pledge her loyalty, saying, "Miss, fortunately, you didnât agree to Miss Jin, otherwise I would have..."
Wufu raised an eyebrow and smiled, deliberately saying, "Why, wouldnât it be good to follow her? At least you wouldnât be following your miss through fire and water. Following her, you might have a chance to live like a Miss with luxury and comfort."
"I feel that life is good and free now, and thereâs no better master than the miss." Purple Jade smiled and said, "As long as the miss doesnât despise me, Iâm willing to follow the miss for a lifetime."
"Hm, remember your words. As long as you remain loyal to me, rest assured, I wonât sell you away!" Wufu patted her shoulder.
Purple Jade smiled and nodded, then turned to serve Jin Lanâs side.
Ah Jiu watched their interaction and, when Wufu returned, couldnât help asking, upon hearing that Jin Yu had taken a liking to Purple Jade, snorted, "She really has good taste."
Purple Jade, being such an all-round maid, was cultivated with much care. If it werenât given to Wufu, she might have found her place in a prestigious household by now.
"You didnât agree with her, did you?"
Wufu gave him a look that said, do you think Iâm stupid.
Ah Jiu laughed, "Donât bother with her, Jin Yu will sort it out herself."
Wufu hummed, resting her chin on her hands, watching Su Luo and the others cook, sighed, "I wonder how things are at home!"
"Once we get to Changan City, send a peace letter then!"
"Hm."
How is home? If Wufu knew, she would likely explode.
...
Huayang County, Wu Residence.
Hongyu hurriedly found Liu Jin, asking, "Has miss not sent a letter yet? Have you finished writing the letter? Has it been sent out?"
These days, that Zhou-named guy brought an official over, even saying he was the real father of the miss, still wanting to find Madam, ah, spit!
No idea what kind of trick Zhou Xuennian is up to with a fraudster, and the miss is just not here.
Liu Jin said, "Sister, that official, perhaps isnât a fake. I quietly asked around, and itâs said heâs a high-ranking official from the capital, here to manage the Empress Dowagerâs birthday gifts."
"Not a fake?" Hongyu widened her eyes and said, "Youâre saying that person really could be our missâs real father?"
Liu Jin bitterly smiled, "Whether he is or not, only Madam knows."
"What should we do? Madam isnât here now, and we donât know how long we can hide this. If he really is a high-ranking official, wonât he investigate Madamâs whereabouts?" Hongyu became even more anxious, "What should we do, the miss isnât here either. Oh dear, this is really driving me mad!"
Liu Jin didnât know what to do either.
Before the miss left, she only told them to pay attention to Madamâs maternal family, without mentioning this unexpected Lord Wu, probably the miss didnât anticipate it either.
"Liu Jin, we canât just sit and wait, you need to take a few days off from school, then take a cart to the estate to keep watch." Hongyu, older than Liu Jin by a few years, had learned quite a bit following Purple Jade and the others, quickly made a decision, "You go and watch, if they donât come, itâs fine, but if they do, keep an eye on it, and if anything happens, you can immediately send a letter to the miss to report."
Liu Jin thought about it, finding this a feasible plan, then nodded, "Iâll go tell Liâs side, you can also convey any message there, Uncle Duan and the others know how to contact the miss."
Hongyu nodded, and the two began to act separately.
