Li Wuming was stunned for a moment, not understanding why this old hag would ask about Princess Julie. He dared not think too much and carefully answered, "Like Miao Tianxiang, she is also about to die. The princess's wet nurse cried herself to death."
"Princess Julie has also moved into the Miao residence?" Ji Wuxin frowned.
"Yes, that's what the nanny insisted on, saying it wasn't safe to live outside."
"idiot!"
Ji Wuxin muttered a curse under her breath. Li Wuming didn't hear it clearly, but vaguely heard the word "idiot". However, he thought it was unlikely. The old hag and Madam Wu were complete strangers. Why would she call her an idiot?
It was a wise move for Mrs. Wu to move into the Miao residence with Princess Julie!
Li Wuming still harbored doubts. It was definitely not a coincidence that Ji Wuxin only asked about Princess Julie.
He suddenly remembered that, given Ji Wuxin's ruthlessness, she could have easily killed Princess Julie and then impersonated her. Why would she have spared the princess's life?
It seems there's more to the story!
Yin Yu glanced at Ji Wuxin with a deep look in his eyes, but said nothing. He and Ji Wuxin went upstairs. Li Wuming breathed a sigh of relief and sat downstairs to rest. Who knew that the old ghost would find such a remote place, making his legs almost break from walking.
As night deepened, the lights in the Miao residence were turned off, with only a few lights flickering on and off. But hidden in the secluded corners were countless guards and fierce hunting dogs.
Ye Qingqing glanced at the door several times, worriedly asking, "Won't that old hag fall for it?"
Lu Mo remained calm and said with certainty, "I will definitely come."
He believed that Li Wuming's silver tongue could definitely deceive Yin Yu and Ji Wuxin, and given their suspicious nature, they would definitely come to check if Miao Tianxiang was really dying, and also grab a few strong men to take back for nourishment.
That's why he had Miao Tianxiong send those guards to patrol the house.
Time ticked by, and there was still an hour until midnight. Ye Qingqing yawned, her third yawn already, her eyes watering.
"Go to sleep first!" Lu Mo said softly.
"don't want!"
Ye Qingqing shook her head vigorously, got up and walked a few steps, feeling a bit more awake. She would wait two more hours, and if the old hag didn't come, she would go to sleep.
Zhu Zi sat quietly on the sofa, still dressed in black, her face hidden by a hat, her arms crossed, looking as if she were asleep, as quiet as if she didn't exist.
"They're here!" Lu Mo suddenly said.
Miao Tianxiong's expression immediately changed, and he whispered a few words into the walkie-talkie.
Ji Wuxin and Li Wuming arrived together, but Yin Yu did not. The two quickly arrived at the perimeter of the Miao residence, which Ye Qingqing and the others could see clearly on the surveillance cameras.
"The old hag is badly injured; we absolutely cannot let her go tonight!" Lu Mo was determined to succeed.
Miao Tianxiong was no different; the key to the antidote lay with Ji Wuxin, and she would never let that old woman go, no matter what.
"Senior Sister, Miao Tianxiang is in that room on the second floor," Li Wuming said, pointing.
Ji Wuxin climbed over the wall, trying to sneak inside, when several guards came over and started talking to each other.
"Sigh, we'd better find another way out as soon as possible. The Queen of M Kingdom even had a fight with Assistant Miao during the day. I guess the Miao family is doomed this time. They've offended so many powerful families, it's no wonder they're going to fall!"
"I've already applied to a security company. I have an interview the day after tomorrow. If I pass, I'll start working at the security company."
"Then I'll apply for a job at a security company too. Which company are you with?"
...
As the conversation of the guards faded into the distance, Ji Wuxin became more convinced that Miao Tianxiang was indeed dying and could only hold on for another hour at most.
