After seeing off the visitors.
Gao had the door closed and led Wei Yunlan back to the backyard. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately you came back in time. Otherwise, although the body shape of the substitute is similar, the appearance is still different. Miss Lu is obviously trying to find fault with it. Maybe it will cause more trouble later."
Now it was the real person who came out instead of a substitute, so no matter what tricks Miss Lu had, she couldn't use them.
It saves a lot of trouble.
Gao frowned and said, "I don't know who is behind Guard Lu, and how he knew that you are not in Beiguan City. In theory, our house is full of traps and there are people guarding it day and night, so we shouldn't be able to find out the situation..."
"Madam, Miss." Ning Shuang, who had been waiting outside, knocked on the door gently. "Miss Zou is here."
"Let her in." Wei Yunlan knew that the person who came was Zou Yun, who had been acting separately from him since entering the city.
"Miss Wei, I already know what happened in the mansion just now." Zou Yun walked in hurriedly. She had just returned to the "secret spot" of Tianshu Pavilion in Beiguan City and handed over the recent news in the city to her colleagues.
Upon learning that something happened at the Wei family, he hurried over with the first-hand information he had just collected. "It's not that something went wrong at the mansion, but in Huangzhou. Our people just caught two spies near Lihe Manor in Huangzhou. The news that Miss Wei appeared in Huangzhou came from Lihe Manor."
Gao and Wei Yunlan looked at each other, with realization in their eyes.
"Where are the two spies now?" Wei Yunlan asked.
"She has been dealt with." Zou Yun made a "wiping her neck" gesture, "Miss Wei didn't stay in Lihe Manor for long. They only found out that Miss Wei was the owner of Lihe Manor and had other properties in Huangzhou, but they didn't know anything else."
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise if they had continued to follow the clues, they might have discovered more things.
"Who is behind them?" Wei Yunlan knew that Miss Lu's father was just a garrison officer in the Northern Army, and there must be a bigger person behind them.
Zou Yun shook his head regretfully. "The two spies only knew the superior who contacted them. The Anbu people tortured them but failed to get any more information. But now we are following the clues they provided and starting to search for their superior. I think we will get new information in a few days."
It didn't take long for those spies to find Lihe Village.
The people in the secret department of Tianshu Pavilion learned from them under torture that, in their opinion, it was normal for the manor to be registered under the name of Wei Yunlan and inspected by Wei Yunlan.
After all, when the Wei family was in trouble, Wei Yunlan was a "married-out daughter", and only her property was not confiscated. Even if it was to avoid giving people a reason to criticize, it was reasonable to register these newly acquired properties under Wei Yunlan's name.
This provided a reasonable explanation for why Wei Yunlan left Beiguan and headed for Huangzhou.
Without further investigation, no one could have imagined that Wei Yunlan was not simply going to Huangzhou to inspect the manor.
In the space of a few months, how many desolate states had she traveled through?
Wei Yunlan did not feel lucky for this stroke of luck.
This incident just reminded her that even with the help of Tianshu Pavilion's secret guards, she still needed to be more cautious.
After that, when you leave Beiguan City and walk outside, it is best not to show your real face to others and you need to disguise yourself.
"It's good that Miss Wei is aware of this matter. I will inform you when there is news." After Zou Yun said this, he stood up and left.
"Thank you." Wei Yunlan sent her to the door.
Then I saw her take advantage of the gap between the backyard and the wall of the next yard, flip her body, and disappear outside the wall in a few seconds.
Wei Yunlan had been busy dealing with the young ladies in Beiguan City and talking about Miss Lu. It had been more than an hour since he returned home, but he had not had time to say anything personal to his family.
Now the door is closed and only my family is left.
Wei Mingxuan and Wei Jiayan hurried over.
"Aunt, you're finally back!" Wei Jiayan took two steps forward, spread his arms, and hugged Wei Yunlan's thighs directly.
Wei Yunlan gently touched his head twice, and then met Wei Mingxuan's slightly resentful eyes.
"Big sister, you said you would be back before spring!"
"I meant before spring comes and flowers bloom." Wei Yunlan smiled slyly. "Our vegetation in the north is recovering, and the flowers will bloom later. I am not breaking my promise."
Seeing that Wei Mingxuan still had a tense face, Wei Yunlan took out a bag from behind him like a magic trick.
After unpacking it, there were boxes of various sizes and some things wrapped in gauze.
Wei Yunlan picked out a slightly larger square box and handed it to Wei Mingxuan.
"Don't be so stern. I brought back gifts for everyone during my trip to the northwest. This is for you, Mingxuan. Open it and take a look."
Wei Mingxuan took the box. It was very heavy. If it weren’t for his hard work in studying and practicing these days, which greatly improved his arm strength, he would have almost lost control of it with his hands.
He placed the box on the table beside him and opened it to take a look.
Inside was actually a round-bellied straight tube made of gold and silver, which looked a bit like a pen holder. On the inside of the overlapping gold and silver patterns, there was a layer of unknown material, which looked quite textured.
"This is an instrument I bought in the northwestern country of Qimeng. It can be placed on your desk as a pen holder." Wei Yunlan introduced with a smile. The brother and sister had the same idea.
This pen holder cost a lot of money. After all, it was made of real gold and silver. Among the whole bundle of things, it is quite valuable.
Of course, the other gifts were also carefully selected by Wei Yunlan.
The gifts given to Gao and her elder sister-in-law Cheng Yue'e were complete sets of jewelry inlaid with gemstones.
Gao's set was made of mysterious and deep sapphires, while Cheng Yue'e's set was made of bright rubies, which just touched the hearts of both of them.
Little Jiarong, who was held in the arms, also got two toys that were common in the Kingdom of Qimeng. It was said that they were designed by Queen Ji Yun herself. One of them was a wooden doll with one layer inside another. Little Jiarong couldn't let it go after holding it in her hands.
"Father and elder brother, I have prepared a set of soft armor for each of them. Leather goods are produced in abundance there, and they often go out, so it would be more reassuring for them to wear a layer of protective soft armor inside." Wei Yunlan handed the two gifts directly to Gao and Cheng Yue'e for safekeeping.
Little Jiayan, who was standing by, was looking forward to it, but her gift still hadn't arrived after a long time.
The things in the bag have been divided up.
Xiao Jiayan couldn't help but pursed her lips and stared at Wei Yunlan eagerly.
There was a bit of grievance on her little face, "Aunt, have you forgotten me..."
"No matter who you forget, you must not forget our Jiayan." Wei Yunlan had already thought of the "thing" to give to Wei Jiayan.
She pointed to the small basket on the table that had been ignored by everyone, and signaled Wei Jiayan to personally remove the cloth covering it.
Wei Jiayan's face was full of curiosity. He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand and pulled hard.
Then I saw a gray bird's head with two tufts of yellow hair emerging from the basket.
The sharp little mouth opened and closed, and she said eagerly, "Hello, Jiayan!"
