Wei Wei had no intention of hiding it from Xiao Yue'er: "I just ran into that young master Wang from Chunfeng Tower a few days ago."
As Wei Wei spoke, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. Although she quickly suppressed it, it still greatly surprised Xiao Yue'er.
Since marrying into the Meng family, the young lady has never smiled so sincerely.
Although she smiles on ordinary days, it always seems like there's a layer between them, a sense of unreality.
A look of realization quickly crossed her eyes, but it was also tinged with worry.
She didn't continue the topic, but instead called out, "Miss, come and eat! The vegetarian dishes are quite good today."
Wei Wei put aside the many chaotic thoughts in her mind and responded with a smile.
After the two had eaten, they waited idly at Ping'an Temple for an hour, but still did not see Wei Cheng.
The relaxed expression on Wei Wei's face turned heavy as time went by.
She knew that although the round-faced woman was young, she was very sensible in her actions.
Since I already promised to meet her at Ping'an Temple yesterday, I won't stand her up for no reason.
The only possibility is that something happened.
She hadn't learned anything about the Qi family, but since they were valued by Jiang Changhe and the others, they must be quite extraordinary.
If they really wanted to take action against Wei Cheng, she would have no power to resist.
"Go and ask Brother Leng to come over."
After receiving her instructions, Leng Pusheng left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.
Fortunately, Ping'an Temple remained in Loucheng, so the delay was not long.
"How is it? Did something happen?" Wei Wei asked, frowning.
Leng Pusheng lowered his head and said with a serious expression, "I just found out that Madam Qi's brother went out last night and hasn't returned. Both families are looking for him."
Wei Wei's face darkened; as expected, the Qi family had already made their move.
She thought back to yesterday, when she had met Wei Cheng for the first time in her life, Wei Cheng had stood by her side without hesitation.
In her previous life, she had discovered those beasts' plans first and found an opportunity to tell her, which allowed her to take revenge before she died.
The thought of this made her heart tremble.
If she knew who her enemy was but was powerless to resist in the slightest, causing harm to Wei Cheng's family... she couldn't forgive herself.
He turned to Leng Pusheng and asked, "Do you have a way to find his brother?"
Leng Pusheng remained silent for a moment.
His identity could no longer be concealed, but it was also impossible to determine how much Wei Wei had manipulated.
Now that he's asked to help, he naturally can't refuse.
But he was there to protect her, which made him hesitate.
Wei Wei said, "This is a matter of life and death, Brother Leng, please do me this favor."
"It's not far from the Meng residence, I can go back by myself in a bit."
Only after Leng Pusheng withdrew did her expression gradually relax.
Just as they were about to go back, a maidservant came looking for them, following behind the young novice.
"Mrs. Meng, my young lady is Wei Cheng."
She curtsied to Wei Wei: "Miss asked me to apologize to you, as there are family matters preventing us from meeting."
"I will send someone to deliver a message to you when I have time."
Wei Wei saw her yesterday; she was indeed following behind Wei Cheng, serving him.
He seems to be a trustworthy person.
Wei Wei smiled and asked, "I just plan to chat and have some fun together. If there are things to do at home, then those things will take priority."
"Are things at home important?"
The maid hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My young master has been missing since he went out last night, and everyone is very worried."
Wei Wei nodded: "Young Master Wei probably forgot to go home while having fun with others. Tell your young lady not to worry too much."
After saying that, he took a purple sachet from Xiao Yue'er: "This was originally intended for Sister Wei. Since she hasn't arrived, please give it to her for me."
He chuckled and said, "Don't forget to tell her that it contains calming herbs, which are excellent for sleep. Let her see for herself what the herbs are, so she can prepare her own medicine later."
The maid accepted the offer and hurriedly left.
As her figure gradually shrank, Xiaoyue whispered, "Miss, is this really foolproof?"
Wei Wei pursed her lips. It wouldn't be foolproof, but it was much safer.
The Qi family are wolves, and Wei Wei will definitely tell Wei Cheng that.
She couldn't fully trust the maidservant, so she could only hide what she wanted to say in the sachet.
If that maid had even a shred of loyalty, she would surely tell Wei Cheng what she had to say.
Wei Cheng is smart, and he must understand the deeper meaning behind her words.
Time passed slowly, and Wei Wei packed up and went home.
She doesn't know how the Meng family is doing now; she needs to go back and check on them.
——
Everything seemed normal when I entered.
However, when Wei Wei entered Tingfeng Pavilion, she was surprised not to see Xiao Qiao'er, who liked to stand at the door waiting for her, right away.
They didn't see any servants in the courtyard either.
This made her frown.
My steps quickened involuntarily as I strode straight into the dormitory.
When her gaze fell on the empty bed, a chill rose from the soles of her feet.
Not only had everyone in the courtyard disappeared, but even Meng Zhixuan, who was unable to move, had vanished!
Xiaoyue panicked and started searching for people inside and out.
A voice came from the courtyard: "Granny Chun! Little Qiao'er!"
No one answered her.
Xiao Yue'er searched around without success, finally stopping again beside Wei Wei, her face pale: "Miss...this servant...can't find them..."
However, after being gone for most of the day, everyone had disappeared. How could this not terrify her?
"Let's go!"
Wei Wei raised her head, turned around without hesitation, and walked outside. She didn't know what had happened to the Meng family, and staying here was clearly not a wise choice.
The two had barely stepped into the courtyard when Master Meng, having received the news, hurriedly came over.
He stood outside the door, looking quite unpleasant.
There is a long scar on his left cheek.
It looked like a scratch from long, sharp fingernails, and the bleeding had only just stopped; the bright red mark looked gruesome and terrifying.
Wei Wei stopped and listened to his expressionless voice: "You're finally back. I've been sending people to look for you for a long time without any news."
Trying to calm her wildly beating heart, Wei Wei said, "So many things have happened at home recently. Your daughter-in-law went to Ping'an Temple to pray for peace and also hopes that Zhixuan can recover quickly."
She looked at his extremely unsightly face and asked, "What happened to your face?"
Whether Master Meng believed her or not, his face twitched slightly when he heard her question, and his eyes, when they fell on Wei Wei, held a hidden rage.
It was as if he had remembered something that made him very angry.
"You were scratched by your mother with a gold hairpin."
He finally spoke: "She wants me dead."
