The doctor in the clinic found paper and pen and wrote and drew on the rice paper. After a while, he put away the drawn rice paper and left.
We took a carriage and arrived at the Mu Mansion.
Qianli came out to greet him and said respectfully, "Mr. Bai, you are here. Come in quickly."
Old Bai was arranged by the master to collect intelligence in Shengjing. He must have important matters to come to the shogunate in person, so Qianli did not dare to delay and took Old Bai to the study quickly.
Mu Qianchen was drawing. When he saw Mr. Bai, he put down the pen in his hand and signaled Qianli to move a chair for Mr. Bai.
"Mr. Bai, have you discovered something important that requires you to come and see the prince in person?" Qianli put a chair behind Mr. Bai, helped him sit down, and asked on behalf of Mu Qianchen.
Mu Qianchen sat down and drank tea.
With a serious expression, Old Bai took out the piece of rice paper he had just painted and handed it to Mu Qianchen: "You really have made a discovery."
"Look at this pattern, sir."
Bai Lao pointed at the picture on the rice paper and said. Mu Qianchen looked in the direction of his finger and frowned slightly, "Where did you find it?"
The hidden weapon drawn on this blueprint is exactly the same hidden weapon that Beiman used last time, which almost took his life.
"Today, a concubine brought a woman to the clinic. The woman stank like a beggar, so I kindly asked Madam to give her a bath. Then, Madam discovered this hidden weapon on her body."
"Madam told me so and I drew it."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and unfolded it for Mu Qianchen to see.
"This is what the woman looked like."
Mu Qianchen stared at the person in the painting for a long time. There was a scar on half of the woman's face for some unknown reason, but the other side looked somewhat familiar.
However, he thought he had an excellent memory and had never seen the woman in the painting.
Mu Qianchen rubbed the green ring on his thumb with the fingers of his right hand, looked at the person in the painting, and pondered for a long time without saying a word.
After a long while, he asked, "Have you found out the origins of this woman?"
Bai Lao paused for a moment before saying, "...it was brought here by Concubine Fan from the Lu Mansion."
"Lu Mansion? Aunt Fan?" Mu Qianchen frowned.
"That's right." Bai Lao said seriously, "From what I heard from her conversation, it seems that she bought this woman from a human trafficker."
"She chose this woman?" Mu Qianchen tapped the table with his fingers.
He had met Fan Meiniang twice, but he had never looked at her closely. What was her relationship with this woman? Was he choosing this woman by coincidence, or was there something else going on?
"Go and investigate how this woman ended up in the hands of a human trafficker."
"yes."
This matter was of great importance, so Old Bai did not dare to delay. He left the Mu Mansion, disguised himself, and went directly to the human trafficking market.
After questioning for a long time, he found out that the human trafficker picked up the woman in the mountains. At that time, the woman was seriously injured. He thought she was beautiful and wanted to take her home as a concubine, but he didn't expect that the woman was a fool after waking up.
Later, she accidentally burned down the house and almost burned the human trafficker to death. She also burned half of her face disfigured. In a rage, the human trafficker took her to the market to sell her.
I bought it three years ago, but no one was interested in it. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to have it bought by someone today.
"I'm afraid he has a brain injury and has become stupid." Mr. Bai reported.
"Investigate further and make sure to find out her identity. I think her identity is not simple and may be of great use." Mu Qianchen said to Old Bai.
"Yes, I know."
Fan Meiniang never thought that she would attract Mu Qianchen's attention by picking a woman at random, and she never thought that one day her destiny would change because of this woman.
She brought the woman back and asked the kitchen to prepare some food.
The woman ate voraciously and nearly choked. Fan Mei Niang stroked her back and patiently coaxed her, "Eat slowly. There's a lot of food here. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare more for you after you finish."
The woman chewed the chicken, looked at Fan Meiniang blankly, nodded, and continued eating, but her movements slowed down.
Chunhua whispered, "Auntie, if you bring her back and she only knows how to eat, the Second Madam will blame you again."
"Shh!" Fan Meiniang stretched out a finger and pressed it on the other person's lips. Then she pulled Chunhua out and whispered, "She is not useless."
"Don't look at her as a little silly, but she's obedient and useful." Fan Meiniang paused and said proudly, "I observed that her hands have a thick layer of calluses, which must be the result of years of martial arts training."
"I just need someone like that."
She scolded Chunhua, "Don't say bad things about her in front of her anymore."
Chunhua lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I was wrong."
When Fan Meiniang entered the house, Chunhua was stunned for a moment as she looked at her back. She originally thought that Concubine Fan was just a country woman who had no knowledge and only knew some seductive tricks.
Unexpectedly, she is as meticulous as the lady.
After the woman finished eating, Chunhua cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen. On the way, she met Taohua, who glanced at her.
"Why is your aunt so greedy?"
Chunhua lowered her head and said, "It's not my aunt. How could my aunt eat so much? She brought back a woman from the human trafficking market."
She swallowed her saliva and boasted, "Don't look at that woman, she's over 30 years old, she's still a martial artist."
After saying that, Chunhua carried ten bowls to the kitchen.
"Do you know martial arts?" Taohua had something in mind.
She hurried back to Fangxingyuan.
