Just as she was about to give up due to exhaustion, Wei Wei bent down and reached out to grab him.
When she was rescued, Noel was completely exhausted and lay stiffly on the ground, her stomach full of water.
He was panting heavily, his gaze fixed on Wei Wei's face, water constantly spitting out of his smiling mouth.
The voice was as soft as a kitten's.
"Mother, did I do something wrong...?"
He asked her.
Then he said, "I'm sorry..."
Wei Wei looked down at him, her eyes filled with struggle, before finally letting Xiao Qiao'er, who had been following behind without saying a word, carry him back.
Wei Wei knew that releasing Nuo'er would have consequences.
But her heart still softened.
A three- or four-year-old child is not cold-blooded enough to kill him.
Besides, in his previous life, he merely distanced himself from her and then spoke ill of her behind her back.
The most important point.
She was still thinking about what would happen after she died.
Has the so-called dragon and phoenix jade pendant truly been found?
She feels a little amused whenever she thinks about it.
Meng Zhixuan probably could never have imagined this in his entire life.
She is Wei Wei.
She had never heard of any dragon and phoenix jade pendant, and there had never been such a thing in her home.
How ridiculous!
By the time she found out, her family had been destroyed and she was dead.
——
After several days of deliberation, the Meng family's account books were almost ready.
She had little experience in this area and could only make a rough estimate.
That is enough.
There are a full six thousand taels of silver at our disposal.
If we clean out the shops outside again, there might be even more.
This amount of silver sounds like a lot, but in a place like the capital where every inch of land is precious, one still has to be careful with money.
Xiao Qiao'er is on night duty again today.
Seeing that the candlelight had dimmed a bit, she immediately used the scissors to flick it upwards, and the candlelight became bright again.
Wei Wei suddenly called out to her.
"Little Qiao'er".
Xiao Qiao'er immediately agreed and came forward to listen to her.
She was a year older than Xiaoyue and much more composed.
He was also one of the people she could trust.
"I'd like to ask you to do something for me, something that might be very difficult."
"Are you willing?"
Xiao Qiao'er answered without hesitation, "This servant is willing."
Wei Wei laughed: "I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already agreed so readily."
"If I sold you, would you agree to that?"
Xiao Qiao'er blushed slightly: "This servant thinks that Miss wouldn't sell me."
I really trust her.
Wei Wei's face turned serious.
"As you probably know, I'm going to the capital after the New Year."
"It wouldn't be very convenient to just rush over there."
"Being completely ignorant about the capital will not be conducive to future actions."
"As for me, I was thinking of sending someone to the capital first to scout out the route."
Xiao Qiao'er had already understood what Wei Wei was saying.
"Does Miss want me to go to the capital first?"
Wei Wei laughed: "Who said Xiao Qiao'er is stupid? Isn't she very smart?"
"Do you want to go?"
Xiao Qiao'er blushed and nodded: "This servant is willing."
"Xiaoyue is smarter than me, and she knows better how to handle things when they happen."
"I feel more at ease knowing she's by your side."
"My only worry is that I might not be able to do the things you asked me to do well."
Wei Wei laughed: "You don't have to do anything over there."
"Take over a shop and buy a courtyard house in a nearby alley."
"It doesn't need to be too nice, but it must be close to Yong'an Lane and Jinrong Lane."
These two alleys were inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles.
The Ming Prince's Mansion of Jiang Changhe's family is located in Jinrong Alley.
With everything arranged, Xiao Qiao'er quickly decided to head to the capital.
To the outside world, it was said that Xiao Qiao'er had asked for leave to go find her biological parents, but only Xiao Yue'er knew the truth.
While concerns are inevitable, the more discreetly this matter is handled, the safer it will be.
Unlike Xiaoyue, Xiaoqiao'er doesn't often go out with Wei Wei, so even if she accidentally runs into Jiang Changhe and the others, she won't give herself away.
——
Leng Pusheng told Wei Wei that when the three members of the Ma family left the city, it was already the day of the Lu family's mother's sixtieth birthday.
In the past two days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have had quite a bit of trouble.
They inquired everywhere about how to win back some favors from the Meng family.
But upon hearing that Prefect Liu had been beheaded and that a high-ranking official from the capital was now in charge, they were surprised to learn that Prefect Liu had been beheaded and that a high-ranking official from the capital was now in charge.
They felt a little uneasy.
They packed their things early in the morning, and as soon as the city gates opened, they left immediately.
Xiao Yue'er found the invitation that Master Lu had sent a few days earlier from the house.
The invitation was straightforward; instead of listing the names of the Meng family members, it featured the large characters of Meng Shao's wife, Wei Wei, on a festive backdrop, making it look especially beautiful.
“This Master Lu seems like an interesting person,” Xiao Yue’er said.
Wei Wei smiled.
When the carriage arrived, the area in front of Master Lu's house was already bustling with noise.
His family has lived in Loucheng for generations, and their influence is far greater than that of ordinary small families.
Then they saw the Meng family's carriage arrive.
They were greeted immediately.
The scene was lively and festive.
Wei Cheng got off the carriage behind and called out happily, "Wei Wei."
Upon hearing the sound, Wei Wei immediately stopped and waited for her.
