Chapter 139: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (4)

So in the middle of the night, Wen Wan and Xiao Taozi changed their clothes and secretly slipped out of the Prime Minister's residence, carrying hoes and a large box of treasures on their backs.

"Let's do it here, dig."

Wen Wan looked around and saw that the place was deserted, the perfect place for murder and robbery (burying treasure).

Little Peach dug for a long time, and only managed to dig a small hole. Wen Wan took the hoe and said, "You keep watch around for me, I'll do it."

"Miss?" How could they let the young lady do such hard labor? Then they saw their precious young lady digging a hole with a hoe.

Little Peach: "..."

Wen Wan was working incredibly hard. She imagined that after faking her death, she could come back and dig up all the gold and silver treasures, then enjoy herself in this world and maybe even hook up with some handsome local guys. The future seemed so promising.

After digging a deep pit, Wen Wan had Xiao Taozi wrap up a box of treasures in portions and bury them inside. Then she dug soil to fill the pit, tamped it down, and covered it with weeds.

"System, you better memorize all these locations. If I run out of money, I'll kill you."

system:【……】

After that, they moved to several other places and dug away, working up a sweat, before finally burying all the treasures.

After concealing the last trace, we decided, "Let's hurry back before dawn."

"Yes, Miss."

The two men, carrying hoes, were preparing to descend the mountain when suddenly a rustling sound arose, which was quite terrifying in the dead of night.

Grabbing Little Peach, he threw down the hoe and shouted, "Run!"

...

Quietly returning to the Prime Minister's residence, Wen Wan breathed a deep sigh of relief. She was exhausted from all the commotion, so she quickly told Xiao Taozi to go to sleep. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next afternoon, the steward came to inform Xiao Fuxing that she had come to the mansion. The steward found a servant's place for Xiao Fuxing's grandmother, but Xiao Fuxing wanted to go with her. The steward thought for a moment and realized that she was someone brought by the young lady, so he brought her to find her.

Little Lucky Star was about to kneel again when Wen Wan stopped him in time, "What do you want?"

"Little Lucky Star wishes to follow Miss and serve her. Please accept him."

Wen Yan: "..."

The child was clean and pretty, but looked only six or seven years old. She really couldn't adapt to having such a young child serve her.

“Miss, I can do everything. I can cook, clean, and serve tea and water. I am also very hardworking. Please let me stay.”

Wen Wan: Employing child labor shouldn't be a crime in this world, right?

Moreover, if she were to feign death, it wouldn't be safe for the child to stay in the Prime Minister's residence. Wen Wan's original plan was to first cure the grandmother's illness and then give the grandmother and grandson a good place to live. It's a bit dangerous for them to stay by her side!

The steward said, "Miss, he is still young, and there is nothing suitable for him to do in this mansion. It would be good for him to stay in your courtyard and serve you."

Wen Wan thought about it. She had picked this person up, so she decided to keep him. She could always send him away when the time was right.

"Alright."

Little Lucky Star was delighted to kneel again, but Wen Wan frowned. "Remember my first rule: don't kneel so easily. It will shorten my lifespan and bring bad luck."

"Yes, Miss."

Wen Wan remembered the important matter at hand, and since the housekeeper was also there, she said, "Go and find a new place for Aunt Xin's family to stay."

Butler: "Yes, this servant will make sure that Aunt Xin has a hard time."

Wen Yan: "..."

Making things difficult for the female lead's mother? This housekeeper really knows how to stir things up.

"No need. On the contrary, find her a better place to live. The only requirement is that it be far away from where my mother lives, so that she won't see it and be bothered. Also, send two maids to take good care of her, make sure she has enough to eat and wear, and send a doctor to check on her carefully, so that she doesn't die before the wedding."

The steward was puzzled. Didn't this young lady hate Aunt Xin the most?

“My mother agreed.” Wen Wan brought up Madam Chu, and sure enough, the steward immediately had no objections.

Butler: "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

...

After arranging everything, Wen Wan felt relieved.

After that, she would take Xiaotaozi and Xiaofuxing out to play every day. I don't know if it's because she looks like a victim of a great injustice, but she can even encounter people trying to scam her while eating at a roadside stall.

The man who tried to scam her this time was a man with a bleeding stomach, a sharp appearance, and fierce eyes—clearly a troublesome key figure. Wen Wan instinctively wanted to leave with her little peach and little lucky star; saving this kind of person was something only the protagonist's halo could do.

Suddenly, the man stood up and held a dagger to her neck, saying, "Save me, or die."

Wen Yan: "???"

Moreover, the man used force, and she could feel that she must have been cut and bleeding. She was terrified. "Brother, I'll save you. I'll take you to the clinic right away. Put the knife down first. You're not conscious right now. Did you accidentally hurt me? I can't save you now."

The man sheathed his knife and then collapsed unconscious at Wen Wan's feet. Little Peach and Little Lucky Star rushed over to check on their young lady, "Miss, are you alright?"

"fine."

"Go check if the person is dead."

Little Lucky Star checked the person on the ground for breath. "They're still breathing."

"Take him to the nearest clinic."

"Miss, do we really want to save him? He just tried to hurt you, we should report him to the authorities and have him arrested."

Wen Wan kicked the person on the ground in anger, "Forget it, consider it an act of kindness."

After dragging the person to the clinic and paying the bill, Wen Wan didn't even care whether the person lived or died before quickly leaving with Xiao Taozi and Xiao Fuxing. She didn't want to get involved with such a troublesome character.

After returning to the Prime Minister's residence, Xiao Taozi hurriedly went to find a doctor to treat Wen Wan's neck injury. Unfortunately, Madam Chu found out and was extremely worried. She ordered Wen Wan to stay at home and recover from her injury, absolutely forbidding her from going out.

...

The wedding date arrived quickly.

Early in the morning, Madam Chu sent someone to find Chu Sisi, and then used Aunt Xin and her son as a threat.

“If you marry, your mother and brother can live well. You have seen my sincerity during this time. If you marry in place of your brother and behave yourself, the Prime Minister’s family will naturally not make things difficult for your mother and brother.”

Aunt Xin refused and knelt down to beg Madam Chu, "Madam, please spare my daughter, please spare my daughter..." She begged and kowtowed, but Madam Chu would never agree. In the end, she still made Chu Sisi put on her wedding dress and then forced her into the bridal sedan chair of the Prince Xi's mansion.

The wedding procession was led by the steward of the Prince Xi's residence. Prince Xi himself, Gu Xi, did not come. The Prime Minister greeted the guests in the front hall.

Wen Wan, disguised as a maid, followed beside the bridal sedan chair, asking, "Won't we be discovered?"
