Chapter 753 Ode to the White-Clad Flower Shopkeeper
Wan Qiqi finally agreed to Xiao Huai's request.
Because Xiao Huai offered her a condition that appealed to her, making her want to give it a try!
However, Xiao Huai promised to create an opportunity for her to meet Madam Xiao by chance, but two days passed without any news.
Instead, Wan Qiqi was greeted by someone else.
"Wuhen greets Madam!"
Wuhen was still dressed in black, clean and fair-skinned, kneeling in front of Wan Qiqi.
He looked much more relaxed than before, with anticipation for the future in his eyes.
Two other people accompanied him.
She is even younger than Wuhen.
They all had big, dark eyes, staring at Wan Qiqi with curiosity.
"Get up! You don't need to kneel before me!"
Wan Qiqi got off the swing and personally helped Wuhen up, saying, "It was faster than I expected!"
"Thanks to you, Madam, we were able to escape this sea of suffering. From now on, our lives belong to you!" Wuhen swore.
Wan Qiqi shook her head, "Your lives are your own, and your choices are your own!"
She stared at the three boys in front of her. "I am not your original master, and I will not use drugs to control you. But I'm also telling you this upfront: if you cannot be absolutely loyal, I will make you wish you were dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze swept by, and the three boys suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold.
The woman's eyes turned fierce, making them feel as if a knife was pressed against their backs.
Wuhen knelt down and said, "Yes, from now on I will follow you, Madam, and swear to serve you to the death!"
The other two also knelt down and said the same thing.
Those who knelt did not speak.
The only sounds in the air were faint breathing and the rustling of leaves.
After a long pause, Wan Qiqi finally spoke slowly, "Alright, go find Feng Zhi to report. He will tell you what your mission is!"
"Yes!" Wuhen led his men up, but they didn't know where to find the person Wan Qiqi was looking for.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before their eyes.
"If you catch up with him, you will find your lodging. If you lose him, you will have to find your own food and lodging today."
As soon as Wan Qiqi finished speaking, Wuhen chased after her.
The remaining two were stunned for a moment, then chased after them.
After watching the people leave, Wan Qiqi returned to the swing and sat down.
Not long after, Fengzhi appeared in the courtyard.
His breathing was steady, not much different from usual.
Feng Zhi raised his hand in a salute, "Madam, they haven't kept up with me!"
"Not going to release water? This is their first time here!" Wan Qiqi joked.
"It doesn't matter who it is!" Feng Zhi seemed to have grown to like Wan Qiqi this way, without any change in expression.
"Okay, you're in charge of how to train and how to practice. If you find any problems, you handle them accordingly!"
Wan Qiqi dislikes having control over other people's lives.
But in such turbulent times, she had to resort to some extraordinary measures to ensure her safety.
"Yes!" Feng Zhi replied, then added, "Sang Yu died in prison. According to the government, she committed suicide by biting her tongue. I have not found any suspicious persons."
“Those are government officials themselves!” Wan Qiqi’s eyes narrowed, her gaze filled with coldness.
"When Sang Yu died, there was nothing unusual about the government. Liang Pengfei was also under guard in prison and was released after the master left!"
"Okay, I understand. You focus on your training from now on. Don't keep an eye on the government for now..."
After giving her instructions, Wan Qiqi let Feng Zhi leave.
Although the situation with the government was unpredictable, Xiao Huai promised that as long as he agreed to help, he would investigate the hidden third party.
Wan Qiqi guessed that even if she didn't agree, Xiao Huai would still investigate.
There is a force in Yunhe County that does not belong to Yunhe County itself and poses a threat to Yunhe County.
Even if the Xiao family doesn't interfere in anything, they would never allow anyone to cause trouble on their territory.
But the information came from the Xiao family, not from Wan Qiqi. If she wanted to get firsthand information, she would have to start with the Xiao family.
From the very beginning, she also planned to start with the Xiao family.
This coincided with her thoughts.
Not long after, the courtyard gate suddenly opened.
Doukou came in from outside, carrying something in her hand.
"Madam, Young Master Xiao has sent a message!"
She handed the paper strip sealed with wax to Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi took it, somewhat surprised.
Doukou is a really honest girl.
Without orders, they dared not do anything on their own, but they also became less alert.
But that's okay!
Unwrapping the note, one could see the words "Give me a white robe" written inside.
Wan Qiqi "..."
"Isn't this my own clothing store that I just opened recently?" she thought to herself.
On the surface, she remained calm.
"Go, without the white robes."
Wan Qiqi left without hesitation.
However, when she arrived at Daofu Baiyi, the person she was looking for had not yet arrived.
The woman who was talking to the shop assistant saw Wan Qiqi and immediately came over to greet her, "Qiqi, what brings you here?"
Wan Qiqi replied with a smile, "Let's come and see how our Manager Hua is managing the shop!"
"I've embroidered quite a few things before, can you take a look and see which styles I can use?"
As she spoke, Manager Hua pulled Wan Qiqi toward the counter.
Wan Qiqi did not refuse.
This shopkeeper was no stranger; she was Luo Kui's mother, and everyone called her "Flower Mother"!
Hua Niang used to work for a wealthy family in Hefeng Town, but she was dismissed without cause half a month ago and lost her job.
Wan Qiqi knew that Luo Kui's clothes were all hand-sewn by Hua Niang, whose embroidery skills were superb.
Although Li Chongniang was the owner of the shop, she didn't have time to spare and could only embroider clothes with the villagers in the village.
