Namo Si woke up again the next morning.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she found herself awake in her own home.
Seemingly having heard the commotion inside, Ye Zi pushed the door open and came in.
"Miss, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!" Ye Zi was still shaken. Yesterday, her mistress had asked her to serve the old lady, so she hadn't gone with her. She never expected something like this to happen.
Nan Wusi shook his still slightly dizzy head and asked Ye Zi, "How did I get back yesterday?"
"The old lady went to Prince Yi's residence to bring Miss back," Ye Zi said succinctly.
After hearing what Ye Zi said, Nan Wusi understood. It seemed that he owed Xiao Yi a great favor again.
"Miss, Miss Ouyang arrived very early today and has been waiting for you in the front hall," Ye Zi suddenly remembered.
"Alright, you can help me wash up first." Nan Wusi knew why Ouyang Xinxi had come today, but she probably hadn't expected this to happen yesterday.
Fortunately, she had the system; otherwise, if it were a weak woman, her reputation would have been truly ruined.
After washing up, Nan Wusi went to the front hall.
Upon seeing Nan Wusi, Ouyang Xinxi immediately stood up and greeted her, "Sisi, it's so good that you're alright."
"Yes. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Yi saved us."
“It’s all my fault. I was too careless yesterday. I should have known that the mother and daughter wouldn’t let me run the banquet properly,” Ouyang Xinxi said. “But I really didn’t expect them to target you.”
“Xinxi, this is not your fault. You said it yourself, they are after the Crown Princess, so naturally they will try every means to remove all obstacles.” Nan Wusi did not expect that she did not intend to take the Crown Princess position, and that her refusal to marry despite the risk of defying the imperial decree would still lead to her being framed by the female lead.
"Sisi, I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter," Ouyang Xinxi said earnestly to Nan Wusi.
"Do you have a plan in mind?" Nan Wusi looked at Ouyang Xinxi, who didn't know how to get justice.
"I have some ideas, but I need to verify them further." After saying that, Ouyang Xinxi whispered her thoughts to Nan Wusi.
Nan Wusi nodded repeatedly as she listened; she, too, was unwilling to swallow this insult.
However, although Ouyang Xinxi's idea is good, it still needs to be verified and requires the right timing, location, and people. This matter needs to be considered carefully.
As for verifying his idea, Nan Wusi did think about who he should ask for help.
"Xinxi, this matter can't be rushed. But tell me the address in detail. I have martial arts skills, so I can verify it." Nan Wusi knew that she wasn't good at finding her way around, so she asked Ouyang Xinxi to leave the detailed address. She would have to go there several times.
So Ouyang Xinxi not only left the specific address, but also told Nan Wusi about the routines of Ouyang Jiangli's outings, and warned him to be careful, as there were many highly skilled martial artists around the Crown Prince.
After Ouyang Xinxi left, Nan Wusi went to her grandmother's place again, thinking that her grandmother must have been terrified yesterday.
"Greetings, Grandmother." Nan Wusi bowed to his grandmother.
"Sisi, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?" The old lady was very worried when she saw that Nan Wusi's complexion was still not good, fearing that there might be some aftereffects from yesterday.
"Grandmother, I am now much better." Nan Wusi checked her body early in the morning and felt no more discomfort, so the effects of the medicine must have worn off.
"Sisi, do you know who harmed you? I never thought that old man was still so useless after all these years, unable to even handle matters within the manor."
Yesterday's framing was clearly the work of someone from the Prime Minister's residence, and it was done openly on the day of the Prime Minister's old lady's birthday banquet, which clearly showed that they did not take the old lady seriously. Naturally, Nan Wusi's grandmother scoffed at this.
What's more, the victim was her own granddaughter. Although no major disaster occurred, she was still unhappy about it.
“Grandmother, I have someone in mind, but I don’t have any proof.” Nan Wusi knew that her grandmother was worried about her, but she didn’t want these things to disturb her grandmother’s life, so she continued, “Let Wusi handle this matter herself.”
"Very well, but Sisi, you must not let yourself suffer. You must remember that the General's Mansion will always be your support. If you are wronged, we will not be afraid even if we tear down the Prime Minister's Mansion." The old lady said domineeringly.
"Yes, I know, Grandmother." Nan Wusi felt a surge of warmth in her heart. With such a protective family member, she would definitely find a way to protect them and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Sisi, our Prime Minister's residence has prepared generous gifts. Why don't you go to Prince Yi's residence yourself?" The old lady gently patted Nan Wusi's hand.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Grandmother. I'll go in a bit." Since her grandmother had already prepared a gift of thanks, she naturally couldn't refuse it; otherwise, she wouldn't know what to prepare to thank Xiao Yi.
"Yes, go ahead." The old lady is quite old and was frightened yesterday, so she is still a bit tired and is going to rest.
Nan Wusi naturally withdrew, preparing to go to Prince Yi's residence to thank Xiao Yi.
When Nan Wusi reached the door, he discovered that his grandmother had prepared a car full of thank-you gifts. His eyes twitched, and he marveled at how generous his grandmother was.
Upon arriving at Prince Yi's residence, Nan Wusi was immediately invited inside, presumably because Xiao Yi had anticipated her arrival.
"Thank you very much for your help yesterday, Your Highness. I owe you a great favor again."
"Miss Nan, you don't need to be so polite. I have always disapproved of these kinds of things." Xiao Yi knew all too well about these underworld affairs in the inner court, and yesterday's events were just a coincidence.
"Of course I must thank you. This matter was nothing more than a small favor for His Highness Prince Yi, but it is a major event that will affect my entire life."
"So, how does Miss Nan plan to thank me? Is she perhaps going to offer herself in return?" Xiao Yi's smile deepened.
"Hehe, Your Highness Prince Yi is too kind." Nan Wusi forced a smile and said, "If Your Highness Prince Yi ever needs my help in the future, I will certainly do my best to assist you."
Xiao Yi nodded, but didn't seem to care.
After thanking Xiao Yi for his kindness, Nan Wusi did not linger. In the end, she and Xiao Yi were not very familiar with each other, and it was already unreasonable for her to ask him for help time and time again. Moreover, she had not brought him any great benefit.
Although Xiao Yi made a fortune from the initial clothing business, Lan Yi Fang now relies on other people's clothing workshops for production, so he ultimately benefits more.
Nan Wusi had never been able to understand Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi had helped her several times but never asked for anything in return, which made her uneasy. She was afraid that what Xiao Yi wanted was something she couldn't give him.
