They probably haven't adjusted to his new role yet.
He shouldn't have been so hasty; his haste frightened them.
Thinking this through, she stopped bringing up the matter and instead asked about something else: "You just met Lord Yao. What kind of person do you think he is?"
When Wei Wei saw that he had gotten down to business, she felt a little relieved.
Although it was a bit nerve-wracking to be around him, his true identity was that of a member of the Su Shou Tang, and he must have a lot of information, especially since he had saved Lord Yao.
Lord Yao clearly owes him a life; if he were to use this favor to do something, the effect would certainly be significant.
Wei Wei couldn't bear to stop seeing him because of her troubled mind.
All I could tell myself was that I had to stay alert.
She said, "Lord Yao is upright and hates evil as if it were his enemy."
Jiang Yu nodded, his voice very calm: "He is an upright official with high prestige in the capital."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Especially since he carries a special token that allows him to execute first and report later, giving him absolute power of life and death."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wei's eyes lit up instantly.
She approached him eagerly and asked in a low voice, "You mean that if Prefect Liu really did something treasonous, Lord Yao can just take his life?"
Jiang Yu looked at the woman so close to him, smiled, and nodded gently: "Do you need my help?"
These words stunned Wei Wei.
But he quickly realized what was happening.
It must have been Leng Pusheng who told him that he was going to investigate Prefect Liu and find a way to get a fatal weakness in him.
He had the opportunity, and he wanted to give it to himself.
Wei Wei felt a slight stirring in her heart, a faint sense of gratitude.
But she couldn't accept it.
She has her own principles, especially considering the huge gap between their social statuses.
If I really need his help in everything, the gap between us will only widen.
And her pride wouldn't allow her to gain something for nothing.
She shouldn't take advantage of the life-saving grace so easily.
It should be used on the blade.
She shook her head and thanked him for his kindness.
"I already have a plan for this matter. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Wang."
Jiang Yu looked closely at her expression; she wasn't being stubborn, but genuinely sincere.
It seems she wants to solve it in her own way.
Jiang Yu almost forgot that this was not a dodder flower, but a tenacious vine that kept climbing upwards.
He felt a little regret, but even more admiration.
"If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Wei Wei nodded seriously: "Definitely."
After saying this, he fell silent again.
Wei Wei opened her mouth as if to say goodbye and leave.
Jiang Yu spoke first: "Miss Wei has no way to repay my life-saving grace. How about I treat you to dinner at Chunfeng Restaurant tomorrow?"
Wei Wei had decided not to get into any more unnecessary trouble with him and was about to refuse when he spoke up unhurriedly: "If you're interested, I'd also like to tell you some interesting stories about the capital."
"Including news from the capital."
Wei Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, unsure of what he meant by those words.
Jiang Yu watched her calmly, but his fingers nervously clenched the hem of his clothes inside his sleeve.
He knew she wanted to save herself and also wanted revenge.
Then he did his best to help her.
How do you know so clearly what I want?
Wei Wei's voice was hoarse, but more than that, it was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Those around her knew that she harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Meng family.
After all, Meng Zhixuan's family really wanted to kill her family, so she had nothing to hide.
However, she only mentioned her desire to go to the capital to seek revenge once to Wei Cheng.
Why does this person know so much?
Seeing her tense body, Jiang Yu sighed helplessly and with heartache: "Although you have never said it, you know that Leng Pusheng and I are both from Su Shou Tang."
"If Su Shou Tang really puts its heart into investigating something, the truth will come out sooner or later."
This was the first time he had mentioned the name Su Shou Tang, even though the two of them already knew the truth.
Logically speaking, she's just an ordinary woman who can't even manage her own shop properly, so she shouldn't know anything about the ways of the martial arts world.
But the truth is that she not only heard of it, but also knew it inside and out.
Then just tell her frankly.
Wei Wei's emotions were complex.
She should believe him, but she had a feeling that the truth was not as simple as he made it out to be.
What is the truth?
She couldn't understand it at all, like looking at flowers through fog.
All the answers lay in the heart of the person before her, so she could only nod: "Then we'll see each other again tomorrow."
After saying that, he didn't linger for long and quickly turned and left with Xiaoyue'er.
Jiang Yu stood still, not moving for a long time.
As a young master and a valiant man, he really shouldn't know these things.
But when he becomes the man in black and "Seventh Master," it's perfectly normal for him to know.
After all, he had already witnessed Wei Wei's intelligence and forbearance.
He was very distressed at that moment.
The transformation of Wang Zhuangshi into Wang Gongzi was a bit too much for him to handle.
If she really finds out that the man in black and "Seventh Master" are also him...
Will she turn on me?
Do you feel like you're toying with her feelings?
Jiang Yu dared not think about it anymore.
Wei Wei, however, was getting a headache from thinking about it.
Just as they were about to reach the gate of the Meng residence after turning the corner, a woman rushing past suddenly bumped into them from around the corner.
If Xiaoyue hadn't been quick-witted and pulled her away, she would have been knocked to the ground!
Having not bumped into anyone, the woman snorted coldly, clearly annoyed, and gave a very unfriendly look.
Wei Wei looked back and saw a familiar yet pale face.
If she hadn't glared at her fiercely, Wei Wei would have felt extremely sorry for this woman.
But at this moment, all she could say was, "It's all retribution."
The person who bumped into her was none other than Madam Wei's daughter-in-law, Shaoyu.
She looked even more haggard than she had a few days earlier.
Madam Wei has probably taken action.
It took her life silently.
Are you blind?
She spoke, her voice sharp and hoarse.
Wei Wei stared at her coldly without saying a word, but Xiao Yue'er wouldn't stand for it. She frowned deeply and retorted, "Are you blind? It's one thing to bump into someone and not apologize, but you also have such a foul mouth."
"I don't know if Madam Wei is blind to have married a daughter-in-law like you!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yu immediately flew into a rage: "You lowly maid, who gives you the right to speak here?"
Little Moon wasn't afraid: "What? You think you're so high and mighty?"
Shao Yu glared at her through gritted teeth for a long time before turning her head to Wei Wei: "You say I'm bad? I think you're the one who's bringing bad luck to your husband's family!"
After saying that, he turned and left angrily.
Xiaoyue wanted to say something more, but Wei Wei stopped her: "Let her have a word."
Why bother arguing with someone who is about to die?
