Su Xiawei deliberately raised her voice and gave instructions to Wen Zhu as if nothing had happened.
There was a strong warning glint in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll help you sort it out right away."
In order not to arouse suspicion, Wen Zhu also responded in a raised voice.
"Okay, then you two, master and servant, take your time inside, and I'll wait outside for you to come out."
Concubine Xiao smiled, shook her head, turned around and left.
Wen Zhu then quickly looked around and asked Su Xiawei in a low voice, "What will happen to the people outside if I shout for help now?"
Seeing this scene, Su Yunrong suddenly felt extremely anxious, fearing that other people outside the door or window might have heard the noise and come to investigate.
So he hurriedly half-crouched and approached Wen Zhu. When he stood up straight, he pinched her throat with one hand and threatened her in a low voice: "If you dare to shout, I will kill you immediately."
Faced with such direct and serious intimidation, Wen Zhu kicked over the flower stand not far from the door without hesitation.
As the sound of several pots of flowers falling together was heard, a huge noise was heard around the whole house.
"What's going on?!"
This was the question Su Yue asked after hearing the noise.
"Wen Zhu, what on earth happened? Huang Ying, go break open the door of that room!"
Concubine Xiao immediately became very nervous and began to order people to take action.
In this situation, seeing that his threat had been broken and might cause greater trouble, Su Yunrong had no choice but to reluctantly release the hand that was tightly gripping Wen Zhu's throat.
Wen Zhu coughed twice and finally recovered some of her voice: "I accidentally kicked the flower pot, it's nothing."
"Okay, then hurry up. If anything goes wrong again, I'll just barge in."
Concubine Xiao gave orders loudly.
Wen Zhu turned to Su Xiawei and said, "I can keep this a secret for you, but how is the young lady going to thank me?"
"How do you want me to thank you?"
Su Xiawei asked in a low voice, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"I want to get my indenture back."
Wen Zhu stared into Su Xiawei's eyes, his eyes full of determination and resolve.
"Absolutely not."
Su Xiawei responded without hesitation. Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
"Concubine..." Wen Zhu called softly, trying to soften Su Xiawei's heart with a pleading look.
Su Xiawei reached out to cover Wen Zhu's mouth, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she still compromised: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
Concubine Xiao's voice came from outside the door: "Wen Zhu, what's going on?"
Su Xiawei put her hand down, and Wen Zhu immediately replied, "Please wait a moment, our young lady's dress belt is tangled."
"Okay, I understand."
Concubine Xiao smiled, seemed a little disapproving, and said nothing more.
Then, Wen Zhu looked at Su Xiawei, his tone a little nervous but still calm: "Young Madam, where is my indenture?"
Su Xiawei took a key from her belt and handed it to Wen Zhu. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "It's in the secret box under my bed. Use this key to open it. There's only your indenture contract inside."
Wen Zhu took the key, then passed it to Su Yue through the crack in the door, and whispered, "Open the secret box under the young lady's bed and give me the things inside. The young lady needs them urgently."
After saying that, Su Yue left immediately.
About fifteen minutes later, Su Yue came back and handed over the indenture contract.
Wen Zhu's hands were shaking violently as he slowly opened the contract and carefully checked the contents word by word, only to find that this was indeed his indenture.
After confirming that everything was correct, a few tears involuntarily welled up in the corners of her eyes.
She looked deeply at Su Xiawei, her eyes filled with determination, and lowered her voice to say, "I mean what I say. What happened today will never be spread outside. But listen carefully, from now on, don't even think about asking me to cover up anything for you. You have to be more careful."
After saying these words, Wen Zhu felt a little uneasy, but pretended to be calm on the surface. He turned around and opened the door a crack, then carefully squeezed out of the door and closed the door. However, he was very excited in his heart and could hardly control himself. He tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall and walked quickly towards Concubine Xiao.
"Concubine Xiao," Wen Zhu said, trying to sound calm, "Our young mistress is a little tired and wants to rest here for a while. Let's leave first."
As she spoke, she gracefully made a gesture of invitation.
"Oh, this is really unexpected. Why don't you choose to go back to Qifangyuan and have a good nap, but take a rest here instead?"
Concubine Xiao seemed a little puzzled and muttered as she walked, but she did not show any particular concern or dissatisfaction.
"The young lady drank some wine, and maybe she feels lazy and doesn't want to move around much."
Wen Zhu responded in a very soft voice, trying not to arouse any suspicion from the other party.
Inside the house, after confirming that there was indeed no one outside the door, Su Xiawei's originally tense nerves finally showed some signs of relaxation.
Fortunately, Wen Zhu chose to stand on their side and did not leak the secret.
Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, Su Xiawei still felt confused at this moment. She had no intention of staying in this place any longer. She quickly ordered Su Yunrong beside her to tidy up her clothes and leave immediately after making sure that there was no one around.
Just as she was about to step out of the room, Su Yunrong's eyes flashed with uneasiness, and she couldn't help but ask, "Otherwise...
Why not just go all out and attack her directly?"
This sudden question made Su Xiawei instantly stern. Her eyes widened and her face was filled with a serious expression. "This is ridiculous! Shut up and get out of here right now!"
The tone was so strong that it could almost crack the air.
Seeing this, Su Yunrong immediately quickened his pace and quickly disappeared from sight.
When she was the only one left in the room, Su Xiawei felt her legs go limp.
He put on his clothes, combed his hair, and then sat in the Lixiang Pavilion in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
In fact, at that moment, she also had the idea of getting rid of Wen Zhu, who knew too much about the inside story, in the most direct and cruel way to prevent future troubles.
However, the reality no longer allows such an action to take place.
How can we get rid of her quietly without letting the outside world notice anything unusual?
The answer to this question is obviously not so easy to find.
Even if they would hide the truth for her considering her background, Wen Zhu is no longer alone now. How could her family just ignore her?
