Chapter 1181: Chapter 1179: A Menace Like You
Incidents like Bai Sulianās are not uncommon in aristocratic circles. Thanks to the Princeās Mansion handling it properly, it didnāt cause much of a stir. As for the scandal between the two, naturally, as the old woman suggested, they would find a day to move the woman to Zhao Mingjieās courtyard.
After that day, Wufu received generous gifts from the Ji family and several invitations, including those from the Guan family, the Ji family, and the Chen family.
Wufu visited the Guan family, then found an excuse to leave for business, declining further visits.
"Miss, with so many invitations, why donāt you go?" Jadeite asked.
Wufuās carving knife landed steadily on the Shoushan stone in her hand, and without looking up, she replied, "Boring, not going."
Jadeite and Mo Lan exchanged a glance and fell silent.
Well, they also admitted it was indeed quite boring. Those noble young ladies were admiring flowers today, brewing tea tomorrow, having poetry gatherings the day after. They spoke of clothes, jewelry, and household gossip, making one want to nod off just listening.
But if the young lady didnāt go out, they had nothing to do either, which was quite boring as well.
"Where have Purple Jade and the others reached?" Wufu asked again.
"A letter came two days ago saying Madam was feeling a bit unwell, so they are resting for two days in Sunset Town," Jadeite replied.
Wufu frowned, put down the carving knife, turned around, and looked carefully at the map on the wall behind her, saying, "At this pace, they probably wonāt reach Changan until July."
Jadeite gave an affirmative sound.
What can be done? Madam is pregnant, so they canāt rush on the road, and their pace naturally canāt be fast.
"By then it will be too hot to enter the capital, just as well we have an estate in the suburbs. When they arrive, letās settle them there first," Wufu said, sitting back down at the table and picking up the carving knife again.
"Miss, not directly at the main house?"
Wufuās hand paused: "Letās settle at the estate first. We need to see what Wu Lihongās attitude is." She asked again, "Any news from the Wu family?"
"After they held a ritual for peace, itās been relatively calm. Even Wu Yining is out and about now," Jadeite said, "Madam Wang is focused on investigating the mischief maker, but hasnāt found anything. Instead, she cleaned out the whole inner residence thoroughly."
Wufu chuckled, "Sheās fast. Our people are okay?"
"All in their places."
"Thatās good, leave it for now."
Jadeite saw Ma Nao lingering outside for a moment, then went out and quickly came back, saying, "Miss, the Ghost Doctor is back."
"Bai Xiaobai?" Wufu was startled.
Jadeite nodded and said, "Iāll go bring him in immediately."
Saying this, without waiting for Wufu to react, she quickly left.
In no time, Bai Xiaobai was dragged in by her. Pitifully, someone who was fairly handsome before had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.
"Is it really you? Bai Xiaobai, didnāt you just return to Beiyan? Why are you back again?" Wufu stood up.
Bai Xiaobai panted heavily, "Do you think I wanted to run back and forth? These past few months, Iāve traveled tens of thousands of miles just on the roads."
He sat on the chair in front of the desk, stretched out his hand, "Donāt say anything, give me your hand."
"What?"
Wufu didnāt understand. Bai Xiaobai, seeing this, simply grabbed her hand, pressing two fingers on her pulse, concentrating.
"See, I told you. How could someone as troublesome as you have any issues? Youāre as lively as a dragon, healthier than anyone, and could even kill a big insect barehanded!" Bai Xiaobai released her hand, snorting, "Yet heās overly concerned, insisting I rush back to check on you, driving me to the brink of collapse..."
Thud.
