Wei Wei's eyes lit up; she was very satisfied with Wei Cheng's reaction, but also a little worried: "Is the medicine okay? Let's make sure no one finds out."
Wei Cheng said, "Don't worry, I searched almost all over Loucheng to find such a rare local medicine."
"It is colorless and odorless, and even a blood test will not detect anything abnormal."
At this point, a look of heartache appeared on her face: "It's just that the price was a bit high, and it emptied half of my savings that I had secretly saved up."
Seeing her mercenary expression, Wei Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing, and only then did she truly feel relieved.
Only by proceeding cautiously step by step can we continue to move forward more safely.
"If there's anything that makes it difficult for you to move around, just have your maid hang a rope under the old crooked tree at the east end of the street."
"I'll find a way to get someone to help you."
Wei Cheng smiled and nodded: "If there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."
“I’m not entirely useless in the Qi family.”
At this point, she looked at Wei Wei and asked, "I've always been curious, how did you know that the Qi family's scoundrels were no good?"
Seeing the gratitude and confusion in her eyes, Wei Wei pursed her lips, unsure how to respond.
She was the one who told me this.
But that's not the right answer.
With a blink of an eye, she had already decided to use the same words she had spoken to Madam Wei to explain herself.
Bandits outside the city, and strange things happening at home.
If you fabricate some baseless evidence, everything will make sense.
However, the thought of Madam Wei inevitably distracted her.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and I'm worried about how she's doing.
Now she's overwhelmed and can only console herself that no news is good news; experience counts, and if she doesn't step up, no one can save her.
After hearing her words, Wei Cheng covered her mouth in surprise: "You mean to say that the Meng family, like the Qi family, also has ill intentions?"
She was somewhat stunned and incredulous, murmuring, "What exactly is their purpose? Is the object they're looking for really that important? They've gone to such lengths to orchestrate such a grand scheme!"
At this point, his voice gradually grew hoarse, filled with resentment: "They treat human life like dirt, but aren't our lives lives too?"
Wei Wei couldn't understand this problem either. Why were those rich and powerful people still not satisfied? Perhaps that's just human nature; people always want more.
She didn't directly reveal the existence of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant; if she did, she wouldn't be able to explain why she knew so much about it.
Regardless of which family in the Wei clan truly possesses such a jade pendant, that is not an excuse for those people to harm it.
All they are doing now is fighting back and protecting themselves.
After talking for a while, Wei Cheng thought of the changes in the Meng family again.
Wei Wei did a great job; the Meng family has already lost.
She only worried about one thing: whether Meng Zhixuan would go crazy when he came back.
The whole family tried to catch a hawk, but they all ended up blinding themselves.
Wei Wei sneered, then waved her hand dismissively: "I'll make him suffer, that's how I'll repay him for everything he's done for me!"
"Since he struck first, we can't blame others for being ruthless."
Seeing the deep worry on the person opposite her, she smiled easily and said, "Don't worry, if these things hadn't happened, he might have killed me. But he won't act so quickly now that he's back. After all, there's too much of a mess to clean up. He needs to rebuild the Meng family first, right?"
"But you are in much more danger than I am."
When Wei Cheng thought of her family members who knew nothing about the situation, the worry in her eyes deepened.
Wei Wei squeezed her slightly cold hand: "They wouldn't dare to openly plot against us, so they'll find some reliable chivalrous men to be their retainers."
"If you encounter anything suspicious, kill it first."
"Give them more silver, and the heroes will be willing to admit what they've done. Besides, they come and go without a trace; who can do anything about it?"
Wei Cheng was convinced.
She grasped Wei Wei's hand in return, looked at her solemnly, and said, "Then let's make a promise that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will find a way to overcome them."
"We feel an instant connection. Once this matter is settled, shall we go for a snow-covered hike, explore the mountains, and enjoy tea and wine together?"
This is her hope for the future, and it is also the motivation that allows her to persevere.
Wei Wei smiled and nodded emphatically: "We will definitely wait until that day."
As time passed, it was time for Wei Wei to leave.
Wei Cheng had just seen the person out the door when he heard a noise coming from the dormitory.
Something crashed heavily to the ground, followed by Young Master Qi's groggy voice calling, "Maple Leaf... Maple Leaf..."
Wei Cheng's expression changed drastically. She whispered for Wei Wei to go first, while she hurriedly led her maid toward that direction.
Wei Wei hesitated for a moment, then looked at the silent "Wang Zhuangshi" at the door.
"I would be grateful if you would accompany me to take a look. If we encounter any emergencies, please help me in time."
A smile flashed in Wang Zhuangshi's eyes, and with a long stride, he was beside Wei Wei.
As the two approached, they heard Young Master Qi's slightly hurried voice.
"Where's Maple Leaf? Why isn't she here yet?"
She glanced at the servant boy sleeping soundly by the outer gate, drool dripping from his mouth; it seemed that Young Master Qi was calling him.
Wei Cheng's calm voice came from inside: "He probably went to the restroom. It's so late, why are you looking for him instead of sleeping?"
Young Master Qi was drugged, but was woken up by being thrown around.
His mind wasn't fully clear yet, so his reaction was naturally a beat slower.
