Chapter 1274: Chapter 1272: Another Move in Reserve
Wufu bid farewell to Changping, left the Princeâs Mansion, and agreed to visit the Meng family as a guest, before boarding her own carriage.
"Mo Lan, go investigate whatâs happening at the Wu Family?" Wufu instructed Mo Lan, remembering the matter of the Wu Familyâs maid seeking someone.
Mo Lan didnât utter a single unnecessary word, responded, and jumped off the carriage to leave.
Purple Jade helped Wufu remove the hairpin-shaped pendant, carefully put it away, saying, "Miss, today youâve officially collided with the Wu Familyâs people, I fear it wonât be peaceful from now on."
Wufu nodded and said, "That day was bound to come sooner or later. As for unrest, it should concern the Wu Family, but it wonât affect me too much."
She wouldnât care, as to her, they were just strangers.
"Iâm just afraid that the maid will be a nuisance in the backyard, they may cause trouble for Miss." Purple Jade thought for a moment, then said, "Moreover, today you stood amongst a group of noble ladies, Iâm afraid Eldest Lady Wu will have something planned."
Wufu lowered her eyes, "As long as she has the ability, Iâm not afraid of her scheming."
Purple Jade smiled faintly.
Wufu yawned, "Iâm going to nap for a while. Call me when we get home."
"Okay." Purple Jade then picked up the round fan beside her and started fanning her.
Upon returning home, Mei Er and Chi San were waiting in the study, and Mo Lan had also returned.
After everyone greeted one another, Mei Er spoke about todayâs news from the court, Chi San talked about the Marquis Yonganâs Mansion, while Mo Lan had been investigating the Wu Family.
Wufu exclaimed, "Zhao Mingkun picked a good day to act. Now that itâs happening, what will Madam Wang do?"
First, she hit a dead end at the Princeâs Mansion, gnawed on a hard bone, and now thereâs such a major issue at her familyâs home; itâs no wonder sheâs frantic.
"If Wang Hao is convicted, what would the sentence be?" Wufu put Wangâs issues aside for a moment and asked about that profligateâs fate.
"The most serious would be the death penalty, beheading in public and confiscating assets, or exile at the least," Mei Er said.
Upon hearing this, Wufu gently tapped her fingers on the table, saying, "Itâs still not enough."
Mei Er and Chi San exchanged a glance. Somehow, when they looked at Wufu, it was as if they were seeing the Prince right in front of them.
"Thereâs nothing better to watch than kicking someone when theyâre down. Quickly gather information on the Underworld Office of the Marquis Yonganâs Mansion, any criminal or shady business. If there are victims, let them come forward and accuse them. I want the Marquis Yonganâs Mansion nailed!" Wufu said softly.
Every backyard has an Underworld Office; surely the Marquis Yonganâs Mansion is no exception. And this year, because someone from their family became an empress, the Marquis Yonganâs children are quite arrogant.
Well, she is determined to deal with the Marquis Yonganâs Mansion. Innocent? I believe those victims do not feel they are innocent.
And if they want to blame someone, they should blame Madam Wang for being venomous!
Wufu is not one to easily let things go. Madam Wang hired assassins to kill themâwill this matter just be brushed aside?
Certainly not!
When itâs settled depends on Wufuâs mood. The Marquis Yonganâs Mansion is just the first step.
"Miss, do you need further incriminating evidence?" Mei Er asked.
Wufu lowered her eyelids, "No need, too much fabrication would expose flaws. Surely their family is not without some sinister deeds. If one isnât enough, then two; if two arenât enough, then tenâaccumulate them, and coupled with the Silver Mine incident, they will find it hard to recover!"
"Yes!"
Wufu waved her hand, then inquired about Mo Lan and the Wu Familyâs affair, hearing of the selfish nature of Wu Lihong, she sneered, "Madam Wang must be heartbroken."
Thereâs nothing more painful than being stabbed by oneâs pillow partner. Tsk, Wu Lihong truly is detestable!
