Chapter 374 Are you going to kill me too?
The old woman who was taking care of Wei Cheng'er saw Steward Zhao send someone to fetch the horse and hurriedly said, "Steward Zhao, you must bring Miss back! The Duke is still..."
"Shut up!" Steward Zhao glared fiercely at the old woman. "What kind of horse is that? What kind of horse do we have on our estate? Even if our horses ran themselves rashly, they couldn't catch up with that person. Besides, do you know what kind of business they're on? Do you know why they're taking the young lady away? If we rashly chase after them and ruin their plans, even the Duke will be in trouble."
The old woman shrank back. "But Miss... Miss..."
"Miss will be alright. They are from the Dali Temple, not bandits."
The old woman was relieved. "That's good, that's good."
Steward Zhao glared at the old woman again. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get me some provisions. I need to inform the Duke."
Over here, Steward Zhao picked up his luggage, took two servants, and hurriedly left.
On the other side, Gou Dan controlled the horse while watching Wei Cheng'er's reaction.
Wei Cheng'er was a little confused but not scared at all.
Gou Dan smiled. This little girl is truly a born leader.
After laughing, Gou Dan peeled Wei Cheng'er off his lap and placed her on the horse's back. "Have you ever ridden a horse before?"
"No."
"Then how about I teach you, okay?"
"Okay." Wei Cheng'er instantly forgot all her other questions. Wei Cheng'er had wanted to ride a horse for a long time, but Steward Zhao wouldn't allow it. Steward Zhao was afraid she would run away and get lost. "Husband, you are so good to me."
"Don't call me 'husband' anymore, or I won't teach you how to ride a horse."
"What's it called?"
"Call me brother."
"Okay." She just wanted to follow him, and now that she had achieved her goal, it didn't matter what he called her. "Brother."
"good."
Within two days, Wei Cheng'er had learned to ride a horse.
Gou Dan once again marveled at Wei Cheng'er, saying he was truly a born general.
On the third day, Gou Dan gave Wei Cheng'er a gentle mare.
Ma Cheng'er was overjoyed. She was so happy that she wanted to confess to Gou Dan. However, thinking of what had happened in the past, Ma Cheng'er held back. "Brother, you are so good. I want to follow you forever. If I follow you, you will have candy to eat and horses to ride."
Gou Dan picked up Wei Cheng'er and placed her on the back of the mare. "Following your brother means not only candy and horses to ride, but also danger."
Wei Cheng'er shook her little fist. "I'm not afraid, I'm strong."
Gou Dan squeezed Wei Cheng'er's little fist. "Okay, okay, you're not afraid, you're strong."
"Hehe... If anyone bullies you, just tell me, and I'll go beat them up."
"Okay, from now on, I'll rely on you to protect me."
Fourteen, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, nudged Hei Bao's shoulder and whispered, "Do you think Gou Dan is too mean?"
"Yeah. How about we tell that little girl that Gou Dan already knows she's faking it?"
"No. That little girl is just as cunning as Gou Dan. Let's just watch the show quietly."
With the joint efforts of Gou Dan and Wei Cheng'er, their relationship grew better and better.
Meanwhile, Steward Zhao also arrived in the capital.
When Duke Wei heard from Steward Zhao that the people from the Court of Judicial Review had abducted his only granddaughter who had inherited his talents, he immediately took Steward Zhao to find the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was somewhat surprised to hear that the Duke of Wei had summoned him. "Your Excellency, please have a seat. What brings you here? I heard that the Emperor has assigned you another task?"
The Duke of Wei glanced at the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. "I didn't want to come either, but your men kidnapped my granddaughter."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately said, "Who dares to be so bold? I will make him apologize to you right now."
He is not in the capital at the moment.
"Then I'll have him come back right away."
That's more like it. "Steward Zhao, tell Lord Sun what that brat looks like?"
"Yes," Steward Zhao said to Lord Sun.
Lord Sun thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who Steward Zhao was talking about. "Lord Duke, I don't think I have such a person under my command."
Duke Wei was displeased upon hearing this. "Impossible. He's carrying a plaque from your Dali Temple."
Manager Zhao then added, "I saw it clearly; he was holding the plaque from the Dali Temple."
Seeing how certain they were, Lord Sun had no choice but to summon the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
As a result, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review also said that there was no such person in their Court of Judicial Review.
Now, Steward Zhao, Duke Wei, and Lord Sun all started to get nervous.
Steward Zhao was afraid that the Duke of Wei would beat him to death.
The Duke of Wei was afraid that his granddaughter would fall into the hands of bandits.
Lord Sun feared that the plaque had originated from their Dali Temple.
Seeing their expressions change, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review quickly whispered to Lord Sun, "My lord, I think the person he mentioned looks a bit like His Highness the Crown Prince, who happens to be out of town."
yes!
His Highness the Crown Prince has a round, baby-faced appearance.
Lord Sun was somewhat relieved. "Steward Zhao, tell me more details about what that young master looks like, who else is with him, and their behavior. Be as detailed as possible."
"yes."
Manager Zhao recounted everything he could remember.
After hearing this, the Duke of Wei realized who it was.
He had a baby face, carried a badge from the Dali Temple, and was accompanied by a group of strong guards. He dared to take his granddaughter away directly...
But why did His Highness the Crown Prince take Cheng'er away? Cheng'er inherited his talent, but Cheng'er was brainwashed by the fever!
Duke Wei couldn't understand it at all. "Lord Sun, you should really check whether the plaque of your Dali Temple has fallen into the hands of thieves."
Lord Sun knew from Duke Wei's words that Duke Wei had also guessed who it was. The matter of the Crown Prince couldn't be discussed lightly, so they could only pretend ignorance. "I'll go investigate right away."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave."
"I'll take you there."
After the Duke of Wei left, Lord Sun began his investigation. Although Lord Sun suspected the young man was the Crown Prince, what if he wasn't?
Dog Egg's subordinates are all elites.
Soon, they found out everything about Wei Cheng'er.
Upon hearing this, four words immediately popped into Gou Dan's mind: "So intelligent he's almost demonic."
"I understand. You can go and rest now."
"Yes. I'll take my leave."
After dinner, Wei Cheng'er came to find Gou Dan with her writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. "Brother, I've come to learn to write from you."
Dog Egg lifted her onto a chair. "Brother wrote four characters, can you recognize them?"
Wei Cheng'er looked towards the table. Upon seeing what was on it, her expression froze.
Gou Dan patted Wei Cheng'er's head. "Do you recognize him?"
Wei Cheng'er kept staring at those four characters.
Dog Egg didn't urge her either.
After a long while, Wei Cheng'er finally raised her head.
Wei Cheng'er looked at Gou Dan calmly and asked, "Are you going to kill me too? Before you kill me, can you tell me how I gave myself away?"
