Chapter 103 Seizing the Opportunity
The old lady stared at Wen Wan's movements, and when she saw that she was about to take out the prescription, she retracted her hand.
"Ouch," Wen Wan wailed, holding her stomach. Before the old nanny could react, she lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.
The old lady glared at him, "Hey? Why are you running?"
The guards around the carriage had their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Wen Wan pretended not to see it, "My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet. I can't hold it any longer, I'm going to poop in the carriage!"
The language is crude and easy to understand, and the effect is quick.
Several young men looked at the old lady, and she made a gesture calmly.
"People have three urgent needs. Just explain it clearly. Why are you running away? You scared me."
The old lady smiled again and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the toilet."
Wen Wan held her stomach and looked back at the road she had come from. "Mammy, have you changed your direction? I remember seeing a thatched house earlier..."
"You're not going the wrong way." The old lady held up a handkerchief to her mouth and nose, looking slightly disgusted. "I know you're talking about that place on the road just now. It's so far away. How long will it take to go back and forth? I'll find you a closer one."
Wen Wan was skeptical.
She didn't expect that the old nanny spoke so quickly, and she actually did it so quickly. She led Wen Wan forward a few dozen steps and entered the yard directly from the side door of Lin Taishou's mansion.
Wenwan's eyes darkened, but her expression showed no sign of it.
"Hurry up, we are still waiting to return to the villa to report."
The old nanny urged.
Wen Wan responded and quickly entered the toilet.
Through the door, she heard the old nanny talking to the people in the mansion.
"Madam, it's been a while since you came. The rouge you brought last time was really good. My sisters all wanted it. Madam, it just so happens that you're here. I'll tell you to bring us a few more boxes later."
"What do I think of it? It's just a few boxes of rouge. Next time I come, I'll bring one box for each girl in your courtyard."
The two spoke in familiar tones, as if they were quite close friends.
Wenwan's heart also sank.
Sure enough, the private sale of iron ore concerns the interests of the entire Lishui Villa, and it is impossible for Mrs. Zhou not to know about it.
They wanted to control Shen Yu, so how could they let Wen Wan go so easily?
Most of the time, their plan is to get the prescription by tricking someone into giving them the medicine and then break the contract.
After a moment, Wen Wan came out with unsteady steps.
The old lady was the only one left. "Miss Xiaowan, can you give me the prescription now?"
Can't wait any longer?
Wen Wan smiled awkwardly, looking embarrassed.
"A prescription..."
"What's wrong with the prescription?" The smile on the old nanny's face finally disappeared.
Wen Wan timidly took two steps back. "Just now, when I was relieving myself, I accidentally dropped the recipe into the toilet. But don't worry, I remember the recipe clearly. I just need to recite it again!"
Old Nanny: “…”
The urge to get angry has reached its peak, but I have to hold it back.
As a result, the old nanny's face turned blue and white, and her expression was extremely stiff when she spoke.

A moment later.
The old nanny found a small steward and used money to pave the way for the delivery of writing materials.
The steward said: "Madam, let her write in the pavilion. The masters are not in the garden now. I will guard the door. If anyone comes, you can hide."
"Oh." The old nanny quickly agreed and urged Wen Wan to write the prescription quickly.
Wen Wan sat at the stone table, picked up the pen, and moved slowly.
The old nanny's eyes twitched as she watched, "Miss Xiaowan, it's getting late, can you please hurry up?"
Wen Wan blinked her eyes, her expression serious. "We can't rush. Slow work produces fine results. This is a prescription for oral administration, not just ordinary medicine. What if the old lady takes it and something happens? I can't bear this responsibility. Can you, Mammy?"
The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "...Okay, take your time and write!"
After Wen Wan wrote just two words, she covered her stomach and wailed again.
Although the trick of urinating is old, it is very effective.
This is a physiological reaction and she has no way to control it.
So, within an hour, Wen Wan ran back and forth seven or eight times.
At first the old nanny followed her closely, but later she got tired of it, and her legs were not very agile, so she followed less closely.
Finally, Wen Wan seized the opportunity and ran away when the old lady stopped to catch her breath.
When the old lady looked up, Wenwan's figure was no longer in sight.
"You silly girl, do you think you can run away from this prefect's mansion?" The old nanny was so angry that she jumped up and went to find the servant for help.

As it got dark, the maids lit the lanterns on both sides of the corridor one by one.
"My Lord said that we have distinguished guests in the mansion tonight, and all the lanterns in the courtyard must be lit. Don't be stingy with money."
"What kind of distinguished guest is this? Why is there such a big fuss? We didn't even light so many lanterns during Chinese New Year."
"Yes, it would cost a lot of lamp oil tonight."
"Keep your voices down. I heard that the distinguished guest is from the border town."
When people talk about the border town, they will think of one person, and this group of little maids are no exception. Someone immediately mentioned that name.
"Could it be that General Shen has arrived?"
"It would be great if General Shen could come. I heard that General Shen is not only extremely brave on the battlefield, but also extremely handsome..."
"Wipe your saliva. How can we dream of such an immortal figure?"
"That's not necessarily true. My mother is the Madam's nanny. She said that the Madam is already selecting beautiful maids to serve in the front hall. Isn't the meaning obvious enough?"
Several maids walked away while talking, not noticing the huddled figure in the corner at the foot of the wall.
Wen Wan had been lying behind this small bush for several hours, and her muscles were very stiff.
"Someone from the border town?"
She frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes gradually brightened.
There is no way to retreat, I can only give it a try.
Wen Wan got up carefully and sneaked into a room while no one was around.
This room should belong to a maid. There were clean clothes in the cabinet. She didn't hesitate, changed her clothes and went out.
"stop!"
It was bad luck that he was caught by someone coming towards him before he even walked out of the yard.
The man who came was dressed like a manager, and was accompanied by four or five beautiful women.
Wenwan's heart was in her throat.
She hid for most of the day and finally managed to hold out until dark, but she never expected that she would still be discovered.
She was ready to be taken away.
But then the steward said sternly, "Which troupe are you from? How come you don't know the rules? Why are you running around? Come here quickly. The distinguished guests have arrived. We have to go quickly."
Wen Wan: “???”
That was a close call. It seems that in order to entertain the distinguished guests, Governor Lin sent people to find some good-looking actors?
This gave her, a stranger, the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
