Chapter 763 Tangli Helps
As soon as King Jing left, Du Wei lost his temper and his face was filled with unconcealable fear.
Her head was in a mess.
King Jing was like a madman. There were also such characters in her novels. He was crazy and paranoid, had a strong desire for control, and could do anything when he went crazy.
Will she be imprisoned here forever, living in darkness?
Maybe you'll experience some pretty nasty things...
Du Wei shuddered at the thought and huddled even tighter.
If that were the case, she would rather die.
only……
In the past, she only cared about Zhao, had no worries and was not afraid of death.
It's different now.
My sister and aunt really care about her.
She was very greedy for the feeling of being cared for and concerned, and she couldn't bear to leave them.
If she were missing, they would be worried sick, and if something happened to her, they would also be sad.
And there is Wei Ziyi.
She has an appointment to meet Wei Ziyi today.
If she didn't go, would Wei Ziyi think she was untrustworthy and be disappointed in her?
She couldn't bear to die, she didn't want to die.
Du Wei's heart was in a mess, and his hands scratched the iron cage, making a harsh sound.
…
Du Yan and Madam Du went to the Dali Temple to report the case. When they walked out of the Dali Temple, the worry on their faces did not ease.
This missing person case had only been reported, and it would take some time for it to be handled. They knew that there were many cases in the capital, and the Dali Temple was not as quick to respond. With so many cases in the capital, involving so many people, every life was equally important to the Dali Temple.
But to them, Du Wei was a sister, a daughter, unique and very important to them. Waiting even a quarter of an hour longer might mean Du Wei had another accident, and they couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour.
"Mom, why don't we go to the Wu Mansion for help?" Du Yan said.
Mrs. Du actually had this idea a long time ago. Their Du family could not shake the royal relative of King Jing, but the one in the Wu family was the regent. Not to mention King Jing, the fallen prince, even if the current emperor did something wrong, the regent had the right to blame him.
But the question is, will the Regent help?
Xiaowei is in contact with the second son of the Regent, but the Regent may not know about it. If he knew, would he stop them from being in contact?
After all, when it comes to matching up, the Du family and the Wei family are too far apart.
What kind of family was the Wei family? The powerful Prince Regent, whom the Emperor relied heavily on. The princess's mother's family was General Gu, and their eldest son had joined the Imperial Academy, promising a promising future. The princess was the princess's sister-in-law, and they also had close ties to the Bai family, the richest family in the capital. All of these things, even a tiny connection, overwhelmed the Du family.
It can be said with absolute certainty that the Wei family is the number one family in the Great Zhou.
In the eyes of the Wei family, the Du family is like an ant, insignificant.
Even if Wei Ziyi was truly sincere to Xiaowei and sought the help of the Regent, the Regent's Palace would certainly know Xiaowei's background. At that time, it would be even more impossible for them to agree to Xiaowei and Wei Ziyi being together...
"Mom, I know what you are thinking, but Xiaowei's safety is the most important thing now. Let's put everything else aside!" Du Yan said.
She doesn't have as many concerns as her mother. She just wants Xiaowei to be safe and sound!
"Yes, Xiaowei's safety is the most important. Let's go to Wu Mansion!" said Mrs. Du.
So the mother and daughter took a carriage to Wu Mansion again.
The Wu Mansion is very low-key, but the mountain is not very high, and it is famous because of the immortals living there. With the Regent living in it, the Wu Mansion looks a bit majestic.
Du Yan introduced himself and asked to see the second son of Wei, Wei Ziyi.
"The second young master went out early in the morning and is not at home." The doorman said directly.
Not at home?
Du Yan and Madam Du exchanged a glance. How could this be such an unfortunate coincidence? Where should they go to find the Second Young Master Wei?
"What do you two want from the second young master? I'll tell him when he comes back," said the doorman.
Many doormen bully others by taking advantage of their power, but since the Regent is so powerful, the doormen are very kind and don't put on airs at all.
"Yes, I am Du Kang, this is my daughter Du Yan. My youngest daughter Du Wei is in trouble, and I would like to ask Master Wei Er for help..." said Mrs. Du.
"Something happened to Du Wei?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.
Madam Du and Du Yan turned around and saw a young woman standing in the mansion.
The woman was extremely beautiful, with delicate features, dark eyes, and a tranquil aura. Her clothes were simple, yet elegant, yet she didn't make people feel distant, instead inviting them to get closer.
"Princess." The doorman bowed respectfully to the woman.
Because of this, Mrs. Du and Du Yan knew her identity.
This young woman was actually the Princess Regent?! She was completely different from the noble and aloof image they had imagined! She was also way too young, looking only in her early twenties. If it weren't for her hair tied up, she wouldn't have been a woman at all.
"Are you the princess?" Du Yan asked curiously, staring at her.
Madam Du hurriedly said, "Yan'er, don't be rude!"
Tang Li didn't feel offended when Du Yan stared at him.
Because she was very good at distinguishing the meaning in eyes, some were kind, some were malicious. There was no malice in Du Yan's eyes, just pure curiosity. She just felt that this girl had a straightforward personality.
Are these two people Du Wei’s sister and aunt?
"You just said that something happened to Du Wei?" Tang Li asked.
"Yes, yesterday afternoon, Xiaowei took a carriage home, but when she arrived home, the carriage was suddenly empty! We searched for Xiaowei all night but couldn't find her. We just went to the Dali Temple to report the case, but we still feel uneasy, so we would like to ask... Master Wei Er for help." Mrs. Du said.
Tang Li had previously sent people to investigate Du Wei's family affairs. He only knew that Du Wei's mother died early and that he was not treated harshly in terms of food and clothing. However, after all, he was not her biological son, so it seemed that the eldest lady of the Du family did not care much about Du Wei.
Now looking at the worry on Mrs. Du's face, it seems that Du Wei's sister and aunt care about her more than she imagined.
"I can help you." Tang Li said.
Mrs. Du and Du Yan were both stunned, obviously overwhelmed by the surprise.
The Regent Princess actually agreed to help them find Xiaowei, and things went much more smoothly than they had imagined.
"Do you have any ideas or clues? Tell me and I'll look for them." Tang Li said.
"We suspect that it was King Jing who captured Xiaowei!" Du Yan said.
"Prince Jing?" With so many princes in the capital, Tang Li had never heard of this Prince Jing. "Why do you suspect him?"
Madam Du was still a little hesitant, so Du Yan said directly, "Princess, it's like this. Xiaowei is not actually the Du family's child, but the child of my cousin and a guard. My cousin is the adopted daughter of Prince Jing, and Prince Jing is extremely opposed to their relationship. He even killed Xiaowei's father in order to separate them."
"Prince Jing had been guarding the imperial mausoleum. He was freed a while ago and came to see Xiaowei. His attitude was very strange, as if he treated Xiaowei as his mother..."
After Du Yan said so much, Tang Li almost understood. Although she was called an adopted daughter, King Jing probably had special feelings for her. Now that he was using Du Wei as a substitute, Du Wei would become very dangerous.
"I will send someone to Prince Jing's Mansion to look for him. Once I have any news, I will inform you two. You can go back first." Tang Li said.
Madam Du and Du Yan bowed to Tang Li, their eyes full of gratitude, then turned and got on the carriage.
"Yan'er, after hearing what the princess said, I suddenly feel much more at ease." Madam Du said, no longer as panicked as before.
"Mom, me too. I feel that this princess always makes people feel at ease." Du Yan said.
"Yan'er, maybe you are right. I used to think that none of the women in the backyard of this mansion were simple. But after meeting this princess today, I feel that she is a good person. She and the regent may be as deeply in love as the legend says, and they are a pair of fairy lovers." Mrs. Du said.
"Mom, you are just old and have seen the ugly side of people too much, so you think that pure feelings are impossible. But in this world, there are always such special people. They are like the characters in the storybooks. No matter what their status is, no matter how rich they are, they love each other as a person, very purely." Du Yan said, with yearning unconsciously in her tone.
"Is this the reason why you've refused to get married? You said it was so you could spend more time with me..."
Du Yan felt embarrassed after being exposed, so she hugged Mrs. Du's arm and acted coquettishly.
"What if I never meet him?" asked Mrs. Du.
"Then I'll never get married."
"Be an old aunt?"
"Yes, my mother has always supported me. She can make money."
The mother and daughter chatted, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than when they arrived.
…
Wei Ziyi waited in the bookstore for most of the day, but Du Wei didn't show up, and he felt a little uneasy.
He could sense that Du Wei was worried during this period, but she didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask any more questions.
However, there was something wrong with today's broken appointment.
Du Wei attaches great importance to his promises and will keep his promises no matter what the weather is.
Even if she really couldn't leave, she would ask someone to pass a message to him and would not disappear without a word.
Could something have happened?
"Second Young Master!" At this time, a man pushed open the door and hurriedly walked in front of Wei Ziyi. It was the servant of the Wu Mansion. "The princess wants you to go back."
Wei Ziyi left a note and returned home, and then learned about Du Wei's disappearance from his mother.
"Wei Yu is missing?!" Wei Ziyi's mind suddenly emerged with many bad consequences. His handsome face was full of worry. He could no longer sit still. "I have to go find her!"
"Du Wei may be in Prince Jing's Mansion. I sent Fourteen to look for him. Don't worry." Tang Li said.
