CHAPTER 1140: CHAPTER 1138: WORDS BETRAY THE HEART

There are no walls that don’t leak secrets. The matter of the Wu Family being haunted and inviting people for the Dharma Assembly still got out and became a topic of amusement. People speculate that such dramatic events must have a cause. What could have happened in that household to warrant such actions?

Wufu heard this and chuckled, "It’s impressive how that girl made it so vivid, with all her talk of embroidery frames and flowers, diverting attention from any concern about a ghostly face!"

Just the actions alone make people believe that it was indeed Sister-in-law Lu.

If Madam Wang didn’t have a guilty conscience, this Dharma Assembly couldn’t have been convened.

"Unfortunately, Madam Wang didn’t reveal anything. However, her confidante, Nanny Wei, is surely her most trusted ally. Given that she’s the wet nurse, she must be well-informed about Madam Wang’s deeds," Jadeite remarked.

Wufu nodded, "Breaking through such a confidante is neither easy nor difficult."

"Are you suggesting we attack her weakness?" Jadeite asked.

Wufu hummed an agreement, "Everyone has weaknesses. Nanny Wei must have hers as well. Once we find it..." She closed her eyes slightly.

Standing stiffly like an ice pillar, Mo Yu spoke, "My lady, should I capture that nanny for you?"

Wufu smiled softly, "No need for now. It’s not yet necessary. Let Cao Er play a few more times. Whether we find something or not, let’s leave it at that to avoid exposure."

"Understood." Chi Liu cupped his hands in acknowledgment.

Wufu then turned to Mei Er, "What’s going on with the Tenth Prince? Didn’t we say our people shouldn’t act recklessly?"

Suddenly, how did the Tenth Prince fall into misfortune, even losing two good lines?

Mei Er hesitated for a moment and said, "It was the lord’s decision."

Wufu was taken aback.

"The matter of your injury was relayed to the lord by people below, and he was furious, displeased that Zhao Mingjun seized the opportunity and pretended to show favor! So..."

Hearing this, a sweet warmth surged in Wufu’s heart. Though delighted inside, she feigned displeasure, "Why tell him about this? It’s unnecessary worry."

My lady, can your pretend displeasure be a bit more convincing? Your grin is almost reaching your ears, clearly your words don’t match your heart.

Everyone exchanged glances and chuckled softly, shaking their heads.

Sometimes, she behaves like a man, decisive and determined. Other times, she pouts like a fussy little girl, pleased with herself after taking advantage.

"Since it’s already done, let it be. Retract all exposed personnel immediately," Wufu instructed Mei Er. "If they haven’t attracted much attention, assign them to the ongoing businesses below. Leave that to Mei San; he’ll know what to do. If they’ve already aroused suspicion, arrange for them to return to Beiyan instead of wasting their lives."

"Understood!" Mei Er acknowledged.

"If there’s nothing else, you may go now. I’ve been holed up here as a patient, so I’m counting on you to handle matters!" Wufu said, indicating Jadeite and Mo Yu with her eyes.

Mei Er smiled, folded his hands, and said, "Take care and recover, my lady. I take my leave."

Wufu waved her hand.

After he left, Jadeite pouted, "My lady, we are doing all this for your own good. Why do we seem like culprits in your words!" Saying this, she nudged Mo Yu, "Don’t you agree?"

Mo Yu crossed her arms, lowering her gaze, "Everything my lady says has its reasons!"

Jadeite’s mouth twitched, "Your blind trust in my lady is even more than Xiao Qi!"

Mo Yu looked toward the window, observing the stubborn child outside doodling with a stick on the ground, then silently gazed at the beam of the house.
