Tao Zhi nodded.
Wei Fu pinched his little finger and counted, then frowned. It was strange, how could he not calculate anything?
She calculated this several times, but she couldn't figure out where Wan Xiyue was. She couldn't even be sure whether she was dead or alive. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing in her more than five years of life.
She told Tao Zhi the result she had calculated. For a moment, Tao Zhi thought he was hallucinating. In his eyes, the omnipotent senior sister actually couldn't calculate it?
Wei Fu said with shame, "Fu'er should study hard with Master and not be lazy. How about you write a letter and ask Master to help calculate it?"
Tao Zhi thought about how the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would come to him every now and then to ask if Wan Xiyue had been found. He could only say with a headache, "That's the only way."
The wife of General Zhongyong was also hurt by Wan Xiyue at first, but as time went by, she was her own daughter after all, and it was because she was left outside that they did not always keep her by their side and teach her strictly, so this happened.
Many times, people forget the pain once the wound has healed, and mothers tend to think about their daughters' good points.
Previously, Wan Xiyue was in the hands of the Queen. The wife of General Zhongyong believed that the Queen would not deliberately abuse Wan Xiyue. At most, she would let Wan Xiyue receive the punishment she deserved. She herself had also agreed to hand her over to the Queen for disposal. No matter how she felt, she had no choice but to endure it.
But later she heard that Wan Xiyue had disappeared into the prison with Prince Ping and the others, so she couldn't help but go looking for Tao Zhi.
After repeated investigations, Tao Zhi was able to confirm that King Ping and his men really disappeared out of thin air at that time, and no one came to the cell to rescue them.
Prince Ping has been labeled a bad guy. Thinking of some of the evidence of his crimes released by the court after Prince Ping was arrested, the wife of General Zhongyong was scared!
She was afraid that King Ping would capture her daughter and do something inhumane, or even kill Wan Xiyue.
The queen had not said before that she wanted to kill Wan Xiyue, she just locked her up. She knew that Wan Xiyue was still alive, and she knew where she was, and she still had a thought in her heart.
But later Wan Xiyue disappeared, and King Ping and Master Wuji were also killed. Even after they were killed, there was still no news of Wan Xiyue.
How could the wife of the loyal and brave general not be anxious?
That is the daughter I have been waiting for for so many years!
So she would go to Tao Zhi every now and then. Tao Zhi had not only one case on hand, but many cases as well, and he was too busy to handle them all every day. Even if he wanted to go to find Wan Xiyue, he would send his subordinates to look for her, and he would not go in person.
Moreover, Wan Xiyue had previously wanted to harm Wei Fu, and he had always remembered this incident.
"Princess, the wife of General Zhongyong and Miss Wan want to see you..." Tingyu came in and said.
Tao Zhi hurriedly said, "Little Senior Sister, don't meet those two. The wife of General Zhongyong is very difficult to deal with."
"They must have come here because of Wan Xiyue's matter."
Liao Qing also knew about this matter, and he also said: "Your subordinate also thinks it is better not to meet the little princess." Now the little princess is omnipotent and powerful in everyone's mind. No one will say anything bad about the little princess now. After the incident of Prince Ping, no one said anything bad about the little princess anymore.
At this time, the wife of General Zhongyong, who missed her daughter very much, came to Wei Fu to ask about her daughter's whereabouts. If Wei Fu said that he didn't know, some people might think that the princess was holding a grudge against General Zhongyong's mansion because of the previous incident, so she was unwilling to tell the truth.
Even if some people believed that Wei Fu really didn't know, they would still think that Wei Fu was not as powerful as the legend said, and that the royal family might be deliberately trying to flatter Wei Fu.
After all, it's just looking for someone.
Wei Fu scratched his face and said, "Then I won't see you."
Su Shiyun said: "It's better to say that the princess is not at home."
"If they say they saw us coming to the mansion and don't believe you, just say we are still waiting in line for the princess."
Tingyu nodded and left.
They guessed that the wife of General Zhongyong would be difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect her to be so difficult. She also said that she would wait for Wei Fu to come back in the mansion. A sharp-eyed maid ran to inform Wei Fu, so Wei Fu quickly slipped away, leaving Tao Zhi and the others here.
Tao Zhi and Liao Qing bowed and said, "I'm leaving now. Please, please stay here for a while."
Tao Zhi did not go out through the main gate, but left through the back door.
It was normal for him to hide from the wife of General Zhongyong, but it made Liao Qing and the other three feel embarrassed.
When General Zhongyong's wife and Wan Liuyue arrived and saw that Wei Fu was really not there, they could only sit and wait.
Wan Liuyue really didn't want to come. She felt that this matter would make things difficult for Wei Fu, especially now that she was blocking someone's house, which was even more inappropriate.
She used to have a lively and bright personality, but after the incident with Wan Xiyue, her temperament became much calmer and more reserved.
After General Zhongyong's wife sat down, she tentatively asked, "Master Liao, was the young princess no longer in the mansion when you arrived?"
Liao Qing nodded: "I heard he just left."
"Master Liao, do you know what the little princess is doing out there, and when she will be back?"
Su Shiyun frowned slightly and reminded: "Madam Wan, I know how you feel now, but the little princess is a member of the royal family. It is not convenient for us to discuss or inquire about the whereabouts of the royal family."
After he reminded her of this, General Zhongyong's wife realized that she had overstepped her bounds, and for the moment she was not in a position to ask further questions.
She took a sip of tea, thought of something, and asked Su Shiyun: "I wonder what kind of girl Lord Su likes?"
If it came to a marriage proposal, she actually preferred Liao Qing. However, her daughters had pursued Liao Qing so hard before, but Liao Qing had not agreed. Now her second daughter's whereabouts were unknown, so she didn't want to involve her eldest daughter with Liao Qing.
But Su Shiyun is not bad either. Although Su Shiyun's family background is not as good as Liao Qing's, the Su family has one advantage, that is, Su Shiyun is the only son in three generations and the only heir of the Su family. All the property of the Su family belongs to Su Shiyun. Unlike the Liao family, the family is not as wealthy and has a large population.
My eldest daughter has a strong and simple personality, which makes her more suitable for a family like the Su family.
When Wan Liuyue heard her mother ask this, her face immediately turned red.
She glanced at Su Shiyun and quickly looked away.
Su Shiyun almost spit out the tea in his mouth when asked by General Zhongyong's wife. He was frightened by Wan Liuyue's look and jumped up from his chair.
He clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do at the yamen, so I'll take my leave first. Brother Ziwen, I won't wait for the princess with you, you can wait slowly!"
Liao Qing also said, "I also have things to take care of. Brother Ziwen, the two of us are here with you to thank the princess today. Since you have already entered the mansion, you can wait here slowly."
