Chapter 210 Sending Letters
I thought to myself, maybe Master Huang didn't tell the truth before and deceived me, but the result was good and the impact was not big, so I asked her again: "Then you...you just said you are not sure whether the woman is Lan Mei or someone else, what do you mean?"
She bit her lip, moved closer, and then spoke: "After that day, I was put under guard and fed a bowl of contraceptive soup. I thought the person that day was indeed Lan Mei. But after the wedding night last night, I... I realized that my body was still intact. So I hurried to find you and tell you about this matter as soon as possible. I'm afraid there was someone else in the room that day."
I nodded. No wonder both I and the maids in Tushan Hou's courtyard felt that her temperament had changed. I thought she had accepted her fate and tried to please Tushan Hou, but I never thought she had really changed. I couldn't think of it, let alone the maids.
Thinking of this, I said to her, "Then you must be careful here and don't let them find any flaws. Alas, I originally wanted to help you after this matter is over, but now something has gone wrong, so I can only let you go with the flow."
Lan Mei nodded: "Don't worry, young lady. They just think that I am trying to please them in order to clear my name. They can't figure out the reason. I will be careful. I grew up in the mansion, and I know most of what Lan Mei knows. In the future -"
Before she could finish, the voices of the people in the courtyard came: "Greetings, Second Young Master."
I looked into the courtyard and saw Tu Shanjing's puppet striding towards me. I smiled at him and said to Lan Mei, "We'll talk about it when we have the chance."
Lan Mei stood up and replied, "Okay, now that we have said all the important things, you can go back after he finishes his greetings. If you stay too long, it might arouse suspicion."
I also stood up and said "OK". The puppet then walked to the door, bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm late."
Lan Mei knelt down and saluted in return: "Second brother, thank you for your courtesy. Let's move to the main living room over there. It's cleaner there. Don't let your clothes get dirty while you're saluting."
Then we walked into the living room. Seeing that I had nothing to do, the puppet did not dare to stay for long, as if he was afraid of revealing a flaw. After the set of greetings was completed, he took me away.
After returning to the mansion, I went straight to the study. The puppet followed me and tugged at my sleeve.
I turned around and saw him winking at me. Remembering that he was still my master in name only, I shrugged and retreated behind him.
He walked forward and when he passed the courtyard, he met Qianmu sweeping the floor with a broom. Qianmu greeted us timidly, and he nodded and led me away.
As soon as I entered the study, I said to Ruiyang who was guarding the door: "Ruiyang, come in, I have something to ask of you."
Ruiyang poked his head in and asked, "What do you want, young lady?"
I said sternly, "Send a letter for me. I'll write it and you can stamp it with the young master's seal and send it to Wanfeng Manor. Ask Gui Fangduan to come find me."
Ruiyang and the puppet were both surprised: "Ah?"
Ruiyang then asked thoughtfully: "Miss, this... do you need to give the young master a letter first?"
I waved my hand and said, "No need. I'm afraid it will be too late to tell him about it! I'll write the letter right now. You have to do it quickly. Hurry!"
Ruiyang didn't dare to delay and quickly started to grind ink for me. I pondered for a moment, grabbed the brush and wrote a sentence, "I have something important to ask Master Guifang Duan to come to Tushan Mansion in Qingqiu to find Lanxiang. It's urgent. Thank you very much!" After writing, I didn't care whether it was grammatical or polite. I blew on the paper hoping that the ink would dry quickly, and grabbed an envelope and folded it.
The puppet came over, looked at the paper behind me, and asked, "What's the hurry?"
I said, "Oops!" and replied, "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when I have time. Let me send the letter off first."
After that, I touched the handwriting and saw that the ink had dried. I folded it in half, stuffed it into an envelope, handed it to Ruiyang, and said, "Go and stamp it."
Ruiyang helped me seal the paint and replied, "The seal is kept by Ruofeng. I will go find him now. I will leave as soon as I finish it."
I nodded, "Thank you. Make sure he comes right away. If he has anything to say, just put it off. If he doesn't want to listen, tell him what I said. If you don't want to be on guard against Hanxiao Banbudian in the future, come here quickly."
Ruiyang put the letter in his arms and ran out.
The puppet then asked again: "Girl, what is the urgent matter?"
I sighed and said, "Alas, the reasons are very complicated and I can't explain them all at once. I'm just uneasy and need a helper to help me do something big."
I just talked too much with Lan Mei, and I didn't react. Tu Shanhou's words to the woman not to let her be tested seemed to mean that he was going to do something to Fang Feng Yiying's body. His marriage is over, and his house arrest will expire in a few days. I don't have time to wait for Tu Shanjing to come back, nor do I have time to write to him to discuss how to find Fang Feng Yiying. If I don't take any measures, I'm afraid that once Tu Shanhou can leave the mansion, it will be a long night and a dream. The shadow guards only listen to Tu Shanjing's orders, and the others are all maids and servants. Not only are their spiritual powers not as high as Tu Shanhou's, but they are also his servants. I can only ask my only connection outside the mansion to come.
The puppet looked at me and asked softly, "Well, is there anything I can do to help?"
I looked at him, and saw that his face was exactly the same as Tu Shanjing's. My heart softened, and I smiled and replied, "Yes, but it's not about this. Are you free today to go with me to see the flowers?"
He raised half an eyebrow: "Look at the flowers?"
I nodded. "Yeah, that thing can't be advanced for a while. My mind is too confused and I can't figure it out. Today is my birthday, so why not go out and relax? Maybe I can get some new ideas."
He said "Huh?" and asked, "It's your birthday today, young lady? It's a pity that I didn't prepare a gift."
I stuck out my tongue. "Yes, but don't tell anyone, it's like I'm asking for a gift. It's okay, I just want to go to Tushan to see the wisteria flowers, I wonder if you can help me do that?"
He pondered for a moment and replied, "It's not difficult. We don't go out through the main gate. When everyone is asleep at night, we can just ride our raccoons out to avoid them."
I asked curiously, "Can you control Lili?"
He pointed to the fox jade token hanging on his waist and said with a smile: "With this, Li Li will be obedient."
I thought that maybe Tu Shanjing wanted to make a big show, so he left the jade token behind. I nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll have lunch and go back to our rooms to rest. I have something else to think about, so I'll come to your place when I'm on duty tonight. If you feel bored staying alone, you can go back to the box first."
