Chapter 263 Seeking Help
"No! No need!"
Wu'er screamed in despair, and the housekeeper repeatedly reminded her not to let other doctors treat the young lady, otherwise she would be in trouble.
Only then did they realize the maid's strange behavior. She didn't call a doctor immediately after her master fainted, but kept making excuses. Wasn't she afraid of being blamed by the master?
If anything happens to her master, her life won't be enough to pay for it!
"I'm saying, you master and servant, are you here with the intention of blackmailing our store?
If that's the case, I'll have someone report it to the police!"
The shopkeeper suddenly thought of this possibility, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at the maid, and his face, which had been smiling all the time, also turned cold.
Really, strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.
The two men looked like a wealthy master and servant, but it turned out they were out to extort money. So don't blame him for being rude!
"No, boss, you can't report it to the police. I'm taking my daughter away right now, and I promise not to hold your store responsible."
Wu'er hurriedly explained that if he reported it to the police, he would be in big trouble!
She tried to drag Bai Li away, but she couldn't pull her away no matter how hard she tried.
In the eyes of the shopkeeper, her actions clearly showed that she wanted to gain a good reputation and extort money at the same time.
"Your lady is in such a state, yet you are still torturing her. Are you really here to blackmail her?"
The shopkeeper didn't have time to act with her, so he wanted to send someone to report to the police.
Wu Er had no other choice but to say, "Don't report it to the police! I'll ask the coachman to go back and bring the court doctor. Only the court doctor can cure my young lady's illness."
As long as you don't rely on the store, the owner will have nothing to say.
Wu'er left in a hurry, and Li Dong stared inside nervously. He felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Let's go, let's go, or we'll be called scoundrels again!"
Wei Wei pushed him to leave. When Li Dong wanted to turn around, he found that the lady hooked her finger at him.
What's going on?
Is she pretending?
Why?
Li Dong stayed with a head full of question marks. Wei Wei couldn't pull him away, so he had to stay as well.
After a while, Wu'er came up the stairs in a hurry. When she reached the door, she gave Li Dong and the other man a cold look, then bumped the two men standing at the door with her shoulder, pushing them aside and running straight towards the young lady inside.
"Hiss! This guy... is so unreasonable!"
Wei Wei rubbed his shoulders and wanted to curse, but when he saw that the master inside still had his eyes closed, he muttered and closed his mouth.
After a cup of tea, there was no sign of the man or the doctor. The shopkeeper ran up and down, obviously impatient.
Wu'er's heart was pounding. Could it be that the housekeeper was unwilling to come?
If he doesn't come, what should I do? Should I find someone to carry him back?
The situation froze for a moment. Li Dong and the other man did not leave, and no outsiders came. The shopkeeper was even more anxious than Wu'er, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"My dear ancestors! Otherwise, just take your daughter away and I'll ask someone to harness a carriage to take you home!"
"Then, please give us a ride, boss!"
Wu'er had no choice but to compromise. If she delayed any further, the situation would be out of her control.
"no!"
Li Dong and Wei Wei spoke out almost at the same time. There was something wrong with this maid. She didn't even care about the life or death of the young lady and refused to call a doctor. Could she be a trafficker of women?
They can't just watch such a beautiful lady fall into the tiger's mouth!
The previous case of the Zhao family in the capital kidnapping and snatching women to breed with black apes caused a sensation and shocked the entire Great Zhou.
Many parents dare not let their young daughters-in-law go out. Could it be that the remnants of the evil are still there and are trafficking women again?
"Who are you? Why are you meddling in our affairs?"
Wu'er walked to the door and reached out to push away the person blocking the door.
At this time, the shopkeeper and the old woman were at the corner of the stairs, and only Bai Li was left in the tea room.
While Wu'er was struggling with someone, she reached out and bit her index finger, turned around and quickly wrote a few words. After writing, she crumpled the paper into a ball and hid it in her sleeve.
After doing all this, he quietly wiped the blood off his fingers, then leaned against
After Wu'er pushed the two away with a rude attitude, she returned, put Bai Li's arm on her shoulder, half hugged and half supported her as she walked out.
When the two men reached the door, Li Dong wanted to step forward to stop them, but someone stuffed a ball of paper into his hand.
When they reached the stairs, the shopkeeper ordered the maid to come forward and help, otherwise Bai Li, who was a head taller than Wu'er, would have been unable to go down the stairs because his feet would have been dragging on the ground.
After the two men helped the person down the stairs, Li Dong quietly hid in the tea room and opened the paper ball.
There were only a few red words written on it: "Bai Li, save me, I'm in Bai Mansion."
"It's really her! Bai Fu?"
Li Dong recalled the news he had heard before. General Bai Zongren not only regained his position as general, but was also promoted to the title of Marquis of Wu.
They returned to Beijing not long ago, and the family should have settled down in the capital by now, waiting to be dispatched.
How did Bai Li come to Weinan, thousands of miles away?
Li Dong's heart moved, he clenched the paper ball and walked out quickly.
"Hey! Brother Li, you're not still thinking about catching up, are you? Let me tell you..."
Wei Wei is a good person, but he is too talkative!
Li Dong suddenly came to this conclusion.
When he reached the gate, the carriage had already started, and the clatter of horse hooves carried the carriage far ahead.
"Look, they've gone too far, and we can't do anything about it. Let's go back?"
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Wei Wei chased after Li Dong, shouting as he walked away. The shopkeeper wiped his sweat off his face and turned to the odd jobs, saying, "We've finally gotten rid of these giant Buddhas. If they'd stayed here, we wouldn't have been able to do business!"
"Stop looking at it, cheer up and entertain the guests this afternoon, otherwise today will be wasted!"
After saying that, she turned around and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and lowered her head and went back to the backyard.
Li Dong hurried towards the government office. This matter was of great importance and he felt that this was his only chance to turn things around!
Weinan Prefecture.
The prefect in the government office has just received an urgent order to find the whereabouts of Princess Donghu.
"Tsk! Someone was lost in the capital, and they tracked me down here, so far away from home. Isn't that ridiculous?!"
The chancellor smiled and said, "I can't find anyone in the capital, so I can only take it out on others. We can just pretend, don't take it seriously."
Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the gate of the government office.
"Hey! What do you do? Tell me your names!"
"I want to see the prefect!"
"Who are you, and what do you want from the prefect? We won't let you in unless you tell us clearly!"
"I have something extremely urgent to do. If you delay, you might lose your head!"
The yamen runner didn't dare to say anything, so he had to send someone in hurriedly to report.
"No need to say, I heard everything. Let's go out and take a look."
Although the Weinan prefect wanted to keep his distance, he still had to deal with the matter when it came to his doorstep. Otherwise, if one of his political enemies reported it to the emperor, he would be in big trouble.
As the carriage swayed, Bai Li slowly "woke up".
