This may sound cruel, but how can one play the hero when one cannot even protect oneself?
Even just revealing this secret is already a huge risk.
Wei Cheng naturally understood this principle.
She whispered, "After the New Year, you should go to the capital first."
"Once I've figured everything out here, I might come to the capital to find you. You must take me in then."
Wei Wei glanced at her and received a smile in return.
"The danger in the capital is real danger. Even if I make some big moves in Loucheng, no matter how far those people's reach is, it won't be too easy for them to take my life."
"By the time they find out it was me, we'll probably have already run away."
At this point, he added happily, "I've been planning to hire some guards who are skilled in martial arts, so don't worry about me."
Seeing that she remained very confident, Wei Wei did not continue the topic.
She has her own plans, and I should believe that she can do all of this well.
The reception area was now almost within reach, and more and more people were gradually gathering around. They stopped talking about these things and started chatting.
As Wei Cheng approached the entrance to the hall, he saw his mother in the distance.
He was sitting at one of the tables and was waving at her, signaling her to come over quickly.
The other ladies at the table also looked over in this direction.
There's probably something they want to say.
Wei Cheng then said goodbye to Wei Wei and went inside first.
Wei Wei looked around and glanced inside a few times, but before she could find her mother, she heard Xiao Yue'er ask in confusion, "Isn't that Madam Wei? She's looking over here."
Wei Wei stopped and looked in the direction she was referring to.
Sure enough, we saw Madam Wei.
She was standing alone under an osmanthus tree, as if waiting for someone.
Upon seeing her, his eyes lit up. He glanced around a few times, then waved to her.
Wei Wei was still wondering what she was going to do when Madam Wei turned and walked away.
Is this a way for me to catch up with her?
Why are you being so mysterious?
Wei Wei was a little puzzled. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she quickly walked over with Xiao Yue'er.
Behind the Lu family's reception room is a garden, in which there are several artificial hills.
In the blink of an eye, she could no longer see Madam Wei.
After walking a few more steps and still not seeing any trace, just as he was about to ask Xiaoyue'er to go look for her, he saw Madam Wei appear from behind the artificial hill to the side.
"I'm here, come here quickly."
After saying that, he went inside.
The other side of the artificial hill is right next to the wall, no wonder there was no trace of it from the other side.
She didn't understand why Madam Wei was so mysterious, but she didn't hesitate for long. After having Xiaoyue look at the people nearby, she turned and walked over.
I hadn't been able to see Madam Wei's face clearly from that distance, but now that I see her like this, I'm quite surprised.
I noticed faint dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well for several nights.
He couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong, Madam?"
"Is something wrong at home? Do you need our help?"
Madam Wei shook her head.
Without saying a word, he took out an object wrapped in a white handkerchief from his sleeve with a hint of urgency and handed it to her.
"This is for you. Take it back and look at it later."
Wei Wei didn't catch it immediately; her expression grew increasingly surprised and uncertain.
Wei Wei's indifference made her a little anxious, and she said in a low voice, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? I called you here for this matter."
Her brows furrowed, and her eyes showed even more anxiety: "Are you afraid to take it? Are you afraid there's some terrible monster inside?"
Wei Wei thought about a lot of things during that brief moment of distraction.
Finally, she bit her lip and reached out to take it.
When she saw that she had stuffed the thing into her wide sleeve without hesitation, Madam Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
"Good child, you are the smartest."
She looked at her and said firmly, "We people with the surname Wei have bad luck, but God won't leave us no way out."
"Your aunt is very pleased that you were able to carve out a way out for yourself in the Meng family."
Speaking of this, she thought of her own family situation, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Unlike my aunt's family, who seemed to have the upper hand, they were still ruined by that woman."
Madam Wei seemed a little off, so Wei Wei quickly comforted her, saying, "The things that happened in the past were not what we wanted. We need to look forward."
Madam Wei nodded, somewhat dazed: "Yes, the past is gone, and Shaoyu died a very undignified death."
"We who are alive must live on, no matter how hard it is."
Wei Wei sighed, feeling worried about Madam Wei's condition as she looked somewhat abnormal.
The old nanny who was always by her side had disappeared. What if something had happened to her?
Where is the old nanny? Why didn't she come with you?
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei wore a complex expression.
"The old nanny has gone back to her hometown."
She opened her mouth, thought for a moment, and then said, "My husband has a distant cousin who has several children who are left unattended."
"The old nanny said she would go and take a look at those children, and if she felt a connection with any of them, she would take them in and raise them for a while."
This is good news. As long as Mrs. Wei is still willing to think about these things, it means that she has not completely lost hope in life.
That's the right thing to do; everyone should look forward.
Wei Wei nodded with a smile in her eyes: "Once we get it, the manor will be very lively."
"Since she's not with you, would you like to come in with me?"
"It's good to have someone to keep me company."
Madam Wei immediately shook her head: "No, no, I want to walk around here for a while longer."
Seeing Wei Wei's worried look, she smiled and said, "Auntie, I have a maid with me, but I just sent her away. She'll be here soon. You can go now, don't worry about me."
Seeing that she was determined not to leave with him, perhaps there was something else going on.
Wei Wei didn't insist any further and nodded: "Then I'll go first. When I have time later, I'll come to visit you at your residence, okay?"
Madam Wei's expression was very gentle. She nodded and said, "Okay."
Wei Wei did not linger any longer, but led Xiao Yue'er back towards the entrance of the waiting room.
Wei's mother was sitting at the innermost table chatting with someone. There was an empty seat next to her, which seemed to be reserved for Wei Wei.
Upon seeing her, Wei's mother was overjoyed and immediately waved to her.
I walked over and politely greeted all the elders at the table.
Amidst the sounds of joy and sighs from the crowd, Wei Wei sat down.
