Chapter 1302: Chapter 1300: The Scumbag Dad Feels Unlucky
Watching Wu Lihong leave without looking back, Madam Wang felt as though she had fallen into an ice cave, shivering all over. He left, the children left too, and in such difficult times, not a single person stood by her side.
Madam Wang thought of the chaos she saw during the day at the Countās Residence: masters big and small crying and shouting, servants running around, hiding gold and silver jewelry, the legitimate mother lying alone on the bed without care, that chaos was utterly terrifying.
If the Wu Family were like that too, what would become of her Ningning and Yuyu?
From the blow of seeing her maternal familyās downfall to the blow from Wu Lihongās neglect at home, Madam Wangās spirit could no longer hold, her vision went black, and she fell directly to the ground.
"Madam!" Nanny Wei, having just returned from seeing Wu Lihong off, saw Madam Wang fallen on the ground and couldnāt help but scream, "Someone, quick, call the imperial physician, call the doctor."
The news of Madam Wang fainting spread throughout the Wu Residence, and when Wu Lihong heard the report from a servant, he simply said he understood, told the doctor and the servant girls to take care of her, and did not even think of visiting her.
Seeing Wu Lihongās cold attitude, Nanny Wei felt chilled. The phrase "nearest and dearest" regarding couples was truly soāthis was too cold-hearted.
Wu Lihong was agitated, ever since returning to the capital, not a single thing had gone smoothly. First, things were amiss with Madam Zhou; the plan was for a reunion in the capital, but now let alone seeing her, even her whereabouts were unknown.
Then, the legitimate wifeās maternal family had problems, and now it also affected his chances of promotion, he was indeed massively unlucky!
"Damn it!" Wu Lihong kicked over a small stool beside him.
Clearly, everything in Huayang was going smoothly, so why was everything amiss upon returning? Where exactly was the mistake?
"Where is everyone? Whoās outside!" Wu Lihong called irritably.
"Sir." A servant boy appeared in front of him.
"Go get Fu Gui." Wu Lihong ordered.
"Yes."
Shortly after, Fu Gui stood, panting, before Wu Lihong.
"I sent you to investigate where that girl hid Madam Zhou, have you found out yet?" Wu Lihong asked with a frown.
Fu Gui answered cautiously, "Sir, not yet, we donāt even know where the young lady took her. In the capital, thereās no sign of where she went."
Wu Lihongās face darkened, he said coldly, "Could she have gone to heaven or into the earth?" After a pause, he continued, "If we donāt know, start checking from towns where they disembark at the docks. Entering or leaving the city must involve relevant travel documents, check from that side. Indeed, hasnāt she been taken to that Changqing Residence?"
"Iāve secretly sent people to inquire, truly no," Fu Gui replied, "and she hasnāt entered the city either."
"Keep investigating. I refuse to believe such a big person, that girl can hide forever." Wu Lihong said angrily, "Follow her, watch where she goes, find out everything for me. Post someone at that residence too!"
Fu Gui hurriedly agreed, but his heart was full of complaints.
No one knows what cards that young lady holds, sheās managed to hide the person completely, not a single bit of information can be found. Is recognizing her truly a good thing? Can the master truly control her? That one is not easy to fool!
Fu Gui wiped sweat from his forehead, thought for a moment, then said, "Sir, we investigate here, wouldnāt it also be wise to build a good relationship with the young lady? After all, father and daughter, thereās no lasting enmity! For a young lady, coaxing her might soften her heart!"
"Youāre right, prepare a gift suitable for a daughter of a chamber tomorrow to deliver," Wu Lihong said with a clap, then glanced at him, "you should have reminded me earlier."
Fu Gui smiled wryly, admitting fault, while feeling secretly bitter.
