Chapter 101 Mobei Cavalry
Although the fortress is not large, it has everything it needs, from agricultural production to commercial culture, and is completely self-sufficient.
There is a main gate and two side gates for entering and exiting the fortress. Each gate is guarded by a special guard and a pass is required to enter and exit.
Wen Wan took Tuantuan to a family clinic, and Tuantuan placed the little rabbit on the examination table with eager eyes.
The old doctor seemed to know Tuantuan's identity. He stroked his beard and pretended to look through the book for a while.
"There's no hope. He's already dead."
As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, Tuantuan started crying.
Wen Wan coaxed Tuantuan for a while, and finally calmed him down with three strings of candied haws and a shadow puppet.
While taking Tuantuan for a stroll, Wen Wan also memorized the approximate terrain of the fortress.
After strolling for two hours, Tuantuan yawned and said, "Sister Xiaowan, we should go back. I'm so sleepy."
Wen Wan glanced at the sky and nodded, "Okay, it's time to go back."
She reminded him again: "I've told you many times, don't call me Sister Xiaowan. You call my husband handsome uncle and call me sister, isn't that a generation gap?"
Tuantuan tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that this was the case.
"Okay, then I'll call you Aunt Wan?"
Wen Wan nodded.
She led Tuan Tuan back the same way, and when she passed the main gate of the fortress, she saw a group of Mobei cavalry running towards this direction from afar.
Wen Wan was startled, stopped and watched from a distance.
The Mobei cavalrymen all wore hoods. When they arrived at the fortress gate, everyone dismounted, and the leader handed something to the guard at the gate.
After checking, the guard let the group pass.
Wen Wan wanted to follow, but Tuan Tuan pulled her arm.
Wen Wan lowered her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tuantuan pointed forward, and Wen Wan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that several maids from Lishui Villa surrounded them.
"Little Miss, we've been looking for you for most of the day, and we finally found you."
"Come back with us quickly. Don't run around anymore. If Madam Yun finds out, we'll all be beaten."
Several maids blocked the way and persuaded Tuantuan to go back.
As a last resort, the two had to follow a few maids back to Lishui Villa.
After entering the courtyard, Tuantuan did not let go of Wen Wan's hand. She pulled Wen Wan towards Mrs. Zhou's courtyard.
"I promised you that I would ask my grandmother for help. Come on, I'll take you there right away."
Wen Wan said: "No need..."
She didn't think that Old Madam Zhou would ask Madam Yun to do anything for her, an outsider. Otherwise, Madam Yun would have imprisoned so many handsome men, and Old Madam Zhou would not have turned a blind eye.
So, even though she knew it would be a waste of time, she was too lazy to waste her time.
What's more, since she allows her daughter to treat men as playthings, this old lady Zhou is definitely not a good person at heart.
Just as she was about to refuse, she saw the team of Mobei cavalry, led by the housekeeper, hurriedly heading towards Madam Zhou's yard.
After searching for it everywhere, I finally found it without any effort.
A gleam of light flashed in Wen Wan's eyes. When she lowered her head again, she smiled and said, "Okay. Then I'll ask Tuan Tuan for help."
"No big deal." Tuantuan waved his hands complacently.
Several maids did not stop her. After all, Tuantuan was used to making trouble in the villa. As long as she did not cause trouble, the adults in the villa would never restrain her.
So, Wen Wan, Tuan Tuan, and several maids quickly arrived at Old Madam Zhou's yard.
The Mobei cavalry arrived earlier than them and were talking to Old Madam Zhou.
Then I saw the old nanny who was serving Madam Zhou holding a letter and reading it to her.
The letter had already been read for the most part, and when Wenwan arrived, she heard the last few sentences.
"Madam, please go to the royal court to verify the truth. If it is indeed the return of the young prince, Mobei is willing to give an additional 10% profit on future business with Lishui Villa. Time is running out, so please leave as soon as possible."
The little prince returns?
Do you want Madam Zhou to identify the person?
Wenwan's eyes changed, and a sharp light flashed in her pupils.
Shen Yu once said that Madam Zhou was born in the Mobei Royal Court and was a maid favored by the Mobei King. Could it be that she was pregnant when she left the Royal Court?
After hearing the letter, Mrs. Zhou was very excited.
She trembled and grasped the old woman's arm, asking, "Is that really what the letter says? Could that person really be my poor son?"
The old nanny smiled. "Yes. It is said that the man has the same butterfly birthmark as the young master. However, the people in the royal court have never seen the young master, so they dare not make any judgments. That's why they came all the way here to ask the old lady to identify him."
Old Madam Zhou cried with joy. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, but when her fingers touched her eyes, her expression became gloomy again.
"But my eyes..."
The old nanny also sighed, "At first, the old lady thought the young master was dead, and she cried for a month straight, until she blinded both eyes. Now, the young master may not be dead, but your eyes are damaged. What should we do now?"
"Oh, right," Mrs. Zhou recalled something, "that girl who accidentally walked into this place a few days ago said she had a recipe that could cure eye disease."
The old nanny was startled. "Are you talking about Captain Zhou's wife?"
Madam Zhou nodded, "Yes, go and call her over."
The old nanny took the order and was about to call someone. As soon as she turned around, she saw Wen Wan and her group outside the courtyard gate.
She smiled and said, "What a coincidence! She came here on her own."
Wen Wan led Tuan Tuan into the yard, greeted the old lady first, and then looked at the group of Mobei people with vigilance.
The old nanny soothed her, "Don't be afraid, Miss Xiaowan. In Lishui Villa, no one is different from Mobei people or Duanchao people. As long as they still want to do business here, no matter if they are from Duanchao or Mobei, they dare not cause trouble here."
Wen Wan curled her lips and said nothing.
The actions of the Mobei people were abhorrent to every Duan Dynasty person, and asking her to live in peace with them was simply an insult to her.
Madam Zhou asked Wen Wan anxiously, "Can I use the prescription for treating eye diseases that you mentioned a few days ago? I will pay you a lot of money to buy it."
Before coming in, Wen Wan had a plan in mind.
So after hearing this, Wen Wan was not anxious at all, and said slowly: "No need for a large sum of money, but since Madam Zhou wants to make a deal, let's talk about the terms of the deal."
Madam Zhou asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Wen Wan said without hesitation, "Let me and my husband leave Lishui Villa in peace."
Old Madam Zhou did not agree immediately, but frowned tightly.
She raised her hand and asked the old nanny to take the group of Mobei people out, and then asked the maids to take Tuantuan away.
She didn't speak again until she and Wen Wan were the only ones left in the yard.
"I won't keep you in suspense. My daughter is doing business with your husband. Your husband is truly an exceptional man. His looks please my daughter, and he can help her connect with others to take her business to the next level."
