Seeing Su Huaiyue coming back, she hurried to meet him as if she had seen a savior. Her steps were so hurried that she almost tripped over the edge of the carpet on the ground.
She walked up to Su Huaiyue, the anxiety on her face becoming more and more obvious: "Miss Su, what happened? When I heard that you were taken away by the soldiers, my heart was in my throat. I was so worried!"
As she spoke, her chest rose and fell violently, as if she had just finished a long run.
As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled out a wad of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Su Huaiyue's hand without further ado: "Miss Su, if Meiyan Pavilion is short of money, just let me know. Don't let this delay important matters. Take this money first, whether it's to smooth relations or for other purposes, don't hesitate to give it."
Her eyes were full of concern and her hands moved eagerly, as if she was afraid that Su Huaiyue would not accept it.
Seeing this, Su Huaiyue quickly blocked Lu Jin's hand that was handing over the money with her hand, and comforted her with a gentle smile on her face: "Mrs. Lu, don't worry, it's nothing serious, just a misunderstanding. Thank you for your kindness, but we really can't accept the money. Don't worry, everything has been resolved."
Her tone was gentle, and her eyes revealed determination, trying to reassure Lu Jin.
After hearing Su Huaiyue's words, the tense expression on Lu Jin's face eased a little.
She looked at Su Huaiyue deeply, as if wanting to confirm whether she was pretending to be calm.
After a while, she sighed softly and put the silver money back into her sleeve. "Since it's just a misunderstanding, it's alright. The heavy stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground. Miss Su, if you have any difficulties in the future, you must tell me the first time."
Only then did Lu Jin feel relieved. He bowed slightly and left.
As she walked, she looked back at Su Huaiyue from time to time, her eyes still filled with worry.
Su Huaiyue didn't breathe a sigh of relief until her figure disappeared at the door.
Wei Che looked at the direction where Lu Jin left, thoughtfully feeling that Lu Jin's performance was a little too enthusiastic, as if there was some hidden secret.
Wei Che narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes revealing a mixture of thought and vigilance. He turned to look at Wei Yunrou, his expression serious and his tone tinged with doubt as he asked, "Yunrou, how did Lu Jin know about our accident so quickly? Logically speaking, even if the news would spread, it wouldn't have reached her ears so quickly."
He frowned slightly, forming a shallow groove between his brows. His eyes were fixed on Wei Yunrou, as if trying to find some clues from her answer.
Wei Yunrou blinked her clear and innocent big eyes, sighed softly, and her round cheeks bulged slightly because of the sigh.
She waved her hand nonchalantly and said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, Fifth Brother, don't overthink it! When the soldiers arrived, there was such a commotion, with all those people shouting and yelling, I guess everyone within ten miles knew about it, not to mention the Lu family who were just across the street. They must have heard the commotion and knew something was wrong."
When she spoke, her eyes were bright and innocent, and she didn't notice the doubts in Wei Che's heart at all.
Su Huaiyue had been paying attention to the changes in Wei Che's expression. Seeing the doubt on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "Wei Che, are you doubting Lu Jin?"
She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes and a faint smile on her lips, wanting to explore Wei Che's inner thoughts.
Wei Che's expression was solemn, his lips slightly pursed into a firm straight line.
His eyes grew deeper, as if filled with endless thoughts. "Sister-in-law, this incident happened so suddenly that it makes us think there must be some unknown conspiracy behind it. Regardless of whether the other party is worthy of suspicion or not, anyone who has been in contact with us recently is definitely a suspect. Lu Jin's appearance at this time, and his expression of concern, really makes us have to be on guard."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, the worry on his face becoming more and more obvious.
Su Huaiyue nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth: "You are really thoughtful. I haven't thought about it in detail before, but after hearing what you said, it is indeed a bit suspicious. It seems that we have to be more cautious in the future."
There was a hint of admiration in her eyes, and she felt sincere admiration for Wei Che's meticulousness.
Su Huaiyue calmed down, turned to look at Wei Yunrou, and said seriously, "Yunrou, you heard it too, this matter is not completely over. During this period, you and the shop assistants must operate normally and don't show any unusual signs. No matter who comes to ask, just say that nothing happened, understand?"
Wei Yunrou nodded obediently, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I understand, don't worry."
Su Huaiyue patted her shoulder gently and gave her a reassuring smile.
After making arrangements for Wei Yunrou, Su Huaiyue hurried to Madam Wei's room.
Madam Wei sat by the bed, looking worried. When she saw Su Huaiyue come in, she anxiously grabbed her hand and said, "Huaiyue, what happened? What did the government say? What exactly happened?"
Su Huaiyue hurriedly sat down beside the bed, tightly holding Madam Wei's hand, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, someone deliberately framed us, but it's okay now. Wei Che and I have found a way to deal with it, so you can rest assured and don't worry about these things."
Madam Wei looked at Su Huaiyue, her eyes full of worry: "Are you really okay? Don't hide it from me."
Su Huaiyue smiled and said firmly, "It's really okay, old lady. If you are worried, I will tell you in detail after the matter is completely resolved in a few days. You should rest well now. Taking good care of yourself is the most important thing."
With Su Huaiyue's comfort, Madam Wei's mood gradually stabilized and she nodded: "Okay, okay, I feel relieved with you here."
After coming out of Madam Wei's room, Su Huaiyue and Wei Che looked at each other and understood each other. Then, the two went to the back hall to discuss the next plan.
Su Huaiyue frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry: "Wei Che, this matter is too strange. We must find out who reported us and how. Are we being followed, or did someone around us leak the information? Moreover, I always feel that the problem here is either with someone within the Wei family, or someone with ulterior motives is deliberately targeting us."
She bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and thought. She paced slowly in the room, trying to sort out a clue from her confused thoughts.
Wei Che nodded slightly, agreeing with Su Huaiyue's opinion: "Sister-in-law, you are right. The informant this time must know our whereabouts very well, otherwise he would not have seized the opportunity of our visit to the exile so accurately."
