Chapter 304: Going to the Five Dragon Palace to Join in the Fun
"Qingdai is going to the Five Dragons Palace to pray for blessings?" Wen Zimei was obviously unhappy when he got the news.
Zhou Qingdai's body has not fully recovered yet, so why would she go to the Five Dragons Palace?
The nanny replied, "According to what the old lady said, she originally wanted to go to Xuandi Temple, but didn't the Ye family have an accident there? Naturally, the young lady won't go that way."
Wen Zimei was worried: "I don't care where she goes, but I want to know why she is still out and about at this time."
The nanny looked at her and said, "Madam, are you worried that someone will take revenge on the girl?"
Wen Zimei nodded: "Although they don't know that I did this, the Ye family accidentally hurt Qingdai before. This time I can't help but worry."
The nanny said hurriedly, "Then we should stop the girl from going out and find an excuse so that she can't go."
Wen Zimei was about to agree, but then changed his mind.
"No, if I suggest not letting her go at this moment, we, who were originally not suspected, will immediately attract the attention of the Ye family. It doesn't matter to the other members of the Ye family, but we need to be wary of Ye Chi. His brain is the real brain."
Mammy frowned, "What should we do? We can't just watch the girl take risks."
Wen Zimei pondered for a moment and said, "Well, tell our people to secretly protect Qingdai. They must ensure that she is safe on the road. As for the Five Dragon Palace, I believe no one dares to take action there."
The nanny hesitated for a moment: "Should we ask the Concubine to mobilize those people?"
Wen Zimei refused directly: "No, my sister's situation is much worse than before. I didn't use those people when I took action, and I can't do it now. Last time she wanted to use those people to do something, I sternly refused. It almost caused a rift between us sisters. If I use these people for my own affairs again this time, I'm afraid my sister will misunderstand me again."
The nanny nodded, and the eldest lady’s consideration was right.
Concubine Wen is now in Prince Duan's Mansion, and there is no way for her to take advantage of Prince Duan's favor and gain any advantage over the princess.
If I use those people again, I'm afraid I'll really get into trouble.
"Go and prepare. I'm just making preparations for the worst. If we're not exposed, Qingdai will actually be safe."
Wen Zimei gave another reminder, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.
Mammy responded and turned to prepare.
Wen Zimei looked at her back, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes again.
"Ye family, Zhou family, don't even think about harming my Qingdai again!" She whispered to herself, her tone full of determination.
Soon, the nanny made all the arrangements and came back to report.
"Madam, I just heard something."
"What's the matter?" Wen Zimei knew that it must be related to his daughter's trip.
Mammy said, "Gu Ruanci is also going to the Five Dragons Palace, and on the same day as the young lady."
Wen Zimei was silent for a while. This news was indeed very important to her.
This matter concerned her only daughter and also involved Gu Ruanci, so she had to be cautious.
"Who leaked the news first?" she asked.
After thinking for a moment, the nanny said firmly, "It was the Gu family that first spread the news that the Duke's wife was going to bring the county lady to pray. As a result, the matter was known to the old lady of my in-laws. She thought that the young lady was Gu Ruanci's cousin after all. Even if they had not been in contact for many years, Gu Ruanci's hatred for the Zhou family should be directed at the second branch, and should not involve the lady and the young lady. If this cousin can be recognized, it will be beneficial to the young lady and her husband in the future."
Wen Zimei thought of the look on her mother-in-law's face and knew that this was indeed something she could do.
She sighed and said, "Since the Duke's wife and Gu Ruanci are both going there, their safety should be guaranteed. Who would be so careless as to offend the Gu family?"
The nanny also said, "I also think that this time they have learned their lesson... They didn't blatantly deal with the county lady, but instead used the excuse of praying for her to get along with our girl. If the county lady can forgive our girl, then everyone will be happy. If not, then the responsibility does not lie with the old lady, after all, she was kind enough to let the two cousins meet."
Wen Zimei sneered and said, "She has a good plan, but I'm afraid it won't work if she just sticks it on herself."
Seeing Wen Zimei's displeasure, the nanny hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do, Madam?"
Wen Zimei pondered for a moment and said, "Go and get ready first. I need to go to the Duke's Mansion in person."
Upon hearing this, the nanny was a little surprised and said, "Madam, you're going in person? Isn't that inappropriate?"
Wen Zimei waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I know my limits. Let's not talk about what happened back then. Gu Ruanci doesn't know about it now. I won't say too much this time. I just want to pave the way for Qingdai in advance. You just need to do as I say."
Seeing that Wen Zimei had made up her mind, the nanny had no choice but to step down and go to prepare.
Wen Zimei sat in the house, thinking about what to say when she arrived at Gu's house.
When Zhuang Hefeng received the visiting card, he thought he had misheard.
"What did you say? Madam Zhou?"
The servant replied, "Yes, madam, it's the Wen family who has been widowed for many years."
"Did she say what she came here for?" Zhuang Hefeng asked again.
"Just say that I have something to say to the county lady. It won't take up too much time."
This answer made Zhuang Hefeng even more unhappy.
After all, they are the ones who know the truth of that year.
"Shameless thing, you killed He Sheng, and now you have the nerve to ask for an audience and use soft words, wanting to take money from the elders?"
Zhuang Hefeng's words clearly showed that he did not take Wen Zimei seriously.
Gu Ruanci, who was standing by, said, "Mother, she must be here because of our trip to the Five Dragon Palace in a couple of days. I'd like to hear how she plans to help Zhou Qingdai and get me to know her."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Hefeng looked at Gu Ruanci, his eyes full of worry, and said, "Ruanci, do you know the methods of the Wen family? If she wants to harm people, it is difficult to guard against her. How can you easily meet her?"
Gu Ruanci smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know my limits. Since she wants to see me, then I'll see her. I also want to see what tricks she's up to. Mother, you don't have to show up this time. You don't have to give her this respect."
Seeing that Gu Ruanci had made up her mind, Zhuang Hefeng didn't know what to say anymore, so he just said, "Then be careful. If there's anything wrong with her, send someone to call me immediately."
Gu Ruanci responded and said, "My daughter understands, mother can rest assured."
Zhuang Hefeng then nodded slightly, and instructed his servants to make good preparations for receiving Wen Zimei. He then turned around and returned to the inner room, feeling a little uneasy.
After all, Wen Zimei is not a good person. No one knows what her intention is in coming here this time.
