Chapter 519: Digging Wild Vegetables Heroine's Handkerchief 10
The crowd was too crowded, so the personal maid had to protect the young lady in the middle. She would rather her shoes were stepped on and lost than let the young lady be squeezed.
What's more, in all kinds of situations, the maids will always stick closely to their mistresses, so how can they be lost?
Then there was the incident of the lady's handkerchief falling to the ground.
Didn't this man hide before? There were so many people on the street, coming and going. Everyone must be blind and didn't see the finely crafted handkerchief on the ground?
How could the handkerchief used by the daughter of the prime minister's mansion be made of ordinary material? If a commoner picked it up, even if he didn't want to ruin anyone's reputation, it would be nice to sell it for some money.
How could I wait until he came out of the dark alley and picked up the handkerchief on the street?
As for the matter of the scholar finding someone to deliver a letter to the young lady, did he explain clearly what channel he used?
Who would dare to risk angering the Prime Minister by helping to deliver a message to the Prime Minister's eldest daughter?
If a strange man delivers something to a lady, would the doorman dare to let him in? They must be asking for their lives.
Without the help of people around her, the lady would not be able to see these things at all.
Wei Fuxiao thought for a moment and then asked, "Sister Liang, how are your two personal maids doing now after what happened?"
Liang Biyun was a little confused and didn't understand why Wei Fuxiao suddenly asked this, but she still answered:
"Before I left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Tao had saved enough money to redeem herself, so I returned the indenture to her and she returned to her hometown.
Because of my involvement, Cuiyu was reportedly beaten with a stick and her entire family was sent to the farm."
Wei Fuxiao had a rough idea in his mind and asked, "Were they the two who accompanied you to the temple fair that day?"
Liang Biyun also heard that Wei Fuxiao seemed to be trying to find out something, but it was not something that could not be said, so she said:
"That's not the case. Cuiyu had a stomachache that day, and I wanted to go to the temple fair with my family, so I asked her to rest at home. Xiaotao accompanied me that day."
After saying this, Liang Biyun also felt that something was wrong and had a vague guess in her mind.
No one mentioned it before, and she didn't think much about it, but now a voice in her heart told her that this was all too coincidental.
But her mind was in a mess now. She felt that the truth was right in front of her, but she just couldn't make sense of it.
She excitedly grabbed Wei Fuxiao's hand, her voice filled with tears: "Sister, Fuxiao, did you find something? Tell me quickly.
If I had been plotted against before, then what should I do, how should I deal with it, I..."
As she spoke, Liang Biyun's body swayed and she almost fell down.
Wei Fuxiao supported Liang Biyun and comforted her until her emotions calmed down a little, then he told her his guess.
Finally, he said, "Sister Liang, the news that you like good calligraphy and that using good calligraphy can attract your attention must have been leaked by someone close to you.
Otherwise, if you had accepted the handkerchief and not been interested in the handwriting, the things that happened later would not have happened.
Think carefully about where Xiaotao's hometown is. Is this a trap set by her and that scholar?
Although these are just speculations now and we have no evidence, they are not impossible to verify.
I remember that you had a lot of jewelry in your boudoir, and you kept the New Year's money given by your family and your grandparents every year. You must have taken it all with you when you left home.
You said that twenty taels of silver were enough for an average family's expenses for a year. How come your jewelry and silver are gone in just half a year? Where did all the money go?
Even if you need to buy writing brushes, inkstones, and paper for studying, it won’t cost that much unless you buy the best.”
Liang Biyun cried and laughed after hearing all the speculations.
"I'm so proud of myself for being such a talented woman, but I didn't expect you to fail to spot such a simple design. Am I blinded by the outside world, or am I just too conceited?
All of this, in the final analysis, is my own fault."
Wei Fuxiao hurriedly comforted her: "Sister Liang, don't be like this. Things haven't come to that point yet. There is still room for recovery."
Liang Biyun didn't believe it.
"There's no way to salvage what's happened. Damage done cannot be undone. My family has already announced my sudden death. There will no longer be a young lady from the Liang family in this world.
Even if my family didn't do this, I really wouldn't have the face to go back.
Regardless of whether this matter was plotted by someone, I have already made the entire Liang family lose face and made it difficult for my sisters to get married.
How can I have the face to go back..."
Liang Biyun's crying reflected the hardships that life brought her, the grievances brought to her by the scholar, and the regret for her own behavior.
Wei Fuxiao knew that Liang Biyun did not regret it, but in her eyes, she had no way out.
What were you thinking when you eloped? You can't just elope on a whim, you have to plan it out.
Haven't you ever thought about what would happen to your family, parents, and siblings during all this time?
But who could blame him for being the original owner's friend? Wei Fuxiao could only continue to comfort him.
"Don't say that, Sister Liang. The fact that you were able to come to the city for help and come to our house today is actually a way out left for you by Lord Liang and Madam Liang."
Liang Biyun was no longer able to think, and she looked up at Wei Fuxiao with tearful eyes.
Wei Fuxiao handed a handkerchief to Liang Biyun, asked her to wipe her tears, and then repeated to Liang Biyun what the eldest princess had said.
After hearing these words, Liang Biyun looked at Wei Fuxiao in disbelief: "Are you serious? My parents have really been paying attention to me?"
Wei Fuxiao was actually not too sure, as those were just the eldest princess's guesses, but it was not impossible to give it a try.
I said, "Sister Liang, please write down everything from how your family went to see the Lantern Festival, to how you met the scholar, and how you started to pass on the book.
Pay attention and don't miss any details.
I also wrote down what was done and who said what at that time, and I had someone send it to Mrs. Liang.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Liang will forgive you or not, she will get to the bottom of the matter.
If there is still a way out, Madam Liang will naturally let us know, so we just need to wait."
Liang Biyun was feeling very nervous, but her mind was in a mess, so she just did as Wei Fuxiao said.
After the letter was written, Wei Fuxiao called Gui Yue over and instructed her, "First, tell my mother that Sister Liang has a letter to give to the Prime Minister's wife, and you need to go to the Prime Minister's residence.
Then go to the Prime Minister's residence and hand the letter to the Prime Minister's wife in person, without passing it through anyone else's hands."
Gui Yue is usually responsible for foreign affairs. After hearing Wei Fuxiao's words, he responded and turned to leave.
Wei Fuxiao asked someone to fetch water for Liang Biyun to wash up, and the two of them waited in the house for news from the Prime Minister's wife.
About an hour later, Mrs. Liang, accompanied by the eldest princess, came to Wei Fuxiao's yard.
