"What do I need to do?" Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner anxiety. Yueya lowered her head and was silent for a long time, as if she was thinking about something, her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. After a long time, she finally asked a question with difficulty, as if this question made her bear great pressure.
In fact, this is not an easy thing to do, and it is likely to suffer some hardships. Lan Wangshu sighed inwardly. She really couldn't make more promises. No one could predict what would happen when entering the Wen family's dungeon. "I can only promise to do my best to protect your safety and send someone to guard you in secret." Lan Wangshu's tone was filled with helplessness and guilt.
A trace of determination flashed in Yueya's eyes, and she whispered, "I believe in the county lady. The county lady is right. Opportunities are rare. I must seize this opportunity and give it a try." Lan Wangshu turned around, with a slight smile on her lips. She walked to the closet and gently opened the door. She took out a water-red gauze dress, which was exactly the same as the one she wore this morning, as if she had prepared it specially.
This water-red gauze dress is like a precious treasure in her hands. The delicate gauze feels soft and glitters with a faint light. She gently touches the gauze dress, as if she can feel the warmth and hope contained in it. This is not just a piece of clothing, but also a symbol of her expectations and courage for the future.
"Come on, change your clothes first, and I'll tell you what to do while you clean up."
Lan Wangshu walked over slowly with the clothes in his hand and stretched out his hand to help Yueya change them, scaring the little girl so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
"My Lady, I can just let this servant do it myself. How can I trouble you?"
"You are doing something for me, so it doesn't matter if I change your clothes for you. After the job is done, your good days are still to come."
After hearing this, Yueya no longer refused and allowed Lan Wangshu to do whatever he wanted with her.
Yueya, let me tell you about my experience today, and then you just need to tell me the truth. "
"Is it that simple?" Yueya was confused. She really couldn't understand why she was asked to do such a simple task.
"It's that simple. You just need to tell the truth. If you tell a lie, the people of the Wen family are not easy to mess with. You can only tell the truth."
"I will obey the county lady." Yueya nodded and listened attentively to Lan Wangshu's arrangements.
"You were originally a maid at Dingzhenlou, and you have always liked Lady Guihua. That's why, when you learned that the Lady Guihua would appear today, you deliberately put on this set of clothes that only the two girls who went to Zui Fusheng to help had. When you walked into an alley by the river, your eyes suddenly went dark, and you struggled desperately, dropping some jewelry. In the end, you were ruthlessly thrown to the ground."
"Someone asked Master Wen San whether the person he had captured was the Princess of Guihua County."
Lan Wangshu helped Yueya change her clothes and began to help her comb her hair. Yueya didn't say anything, but just listened carefully.
"Master Wen San said that it must be the Princess of Guihua County. The outfit is exactly the same. Another person came forward, pulled open the cloth on your head, and picked up the gold hairpin, but found that it was actually made of copper. It is obvious that she is not the Princess of Guihua."
After that, Lan Wangshu carefully took out a delicate hairpin from her bosom and gently inserted it into Yueya's bun. Yueya was amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship of this handicraft. She couldn't believe that copper could be made as exquisite as gold.
"Later, they started arguing for some reason, and the noise became louder and louder. You couldn't hear what they were arguing about. You were extremely anxious, and you tried hard to take off your blindfold and climbed out of the well in the back alley with difficulty. As you tiptoed away, you suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in a black robe. His face was blurry, and you could only vaguely see the outline of his jaw. In his hand, he was holding a stick covered with creepy bumps. Just looking at it made your scalp tingle."
"Don't say any more about the rest. If someone asks you, just say you don't know. Do you understand?" Lan Wangshu's tone was serious and firm, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Yueya, remember this." Yueya looked at herself in the mirror and nodded vigorously. Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if telling herself that she must keep this secret.
Lan Wangshu took out a makeup remover wipe and gently wiped the makeup off Yueya's face. As the makeup gradually faded, a large birthmark was revealed, like a hideous painting. Yueya's mood suddenly became heavy. She looked at her face silently, with a trace of pain and inferiority in her eyes.
"I originally wanted you to wear a mask, but I was afraid that people would notice it later, so I decided to just leave it like this so that others can't associate your future self with your current self."
"Yueya will follow the county chief's arrangements."
Lan Wangshu was filled with joy and couldn't help clapping his hands. At this moment, Gao Qiao flashed in from outside like a ghost. The sudden appearance of Gao Qiao frightened Yue Ya.
"Hurry, take her to the place where I will pick her up. You are very good at martial arts, so you must protect Yueya. If there is anything unusual, take Yueya away immediately without any hesitation!" Lan Wangshu's tone was firm and serious, and his eyes were full of worry.
Gao Qiao responded respectfully and took the Mu Li from Lan Wangshu's hand. His movements were swift and decisive, without any hesitation. Without saying a word, he directly put the Mu Li on Yueya's head. With a flick of the whip in his hand, he and Yueya jumped out of the window lightly, like two fluttering butterflies.
Yueya was so frightened by this series of actions that she couldn't even make a sound and could only pray silently in her heart. When she came to her senses and found that she was already in a safe place, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.
Lan Wangshu quietly watched the two people leave, still feeling uneasy. She still had an important thing to do, which was to send a set of clothes to Dingzhenlou. She didn't know what Wu Yan and the others were doing now, so she could only pray silently in her heart that everything would be safe.
"Master, Xihe and his team are back." The subordinate's report brought Lan Wangshu back to her senses. A flash of joy flashed across her eyes, but was soon replaced by worry. She was eager to know whether Xihe and his team were doing well and whether they had brought back the news she expected.
Wu Yan knocked on the door very loudly, like thunder, which frightened Lan Wangshu's heartbeat. Her face darkened instantly, and she thought to herself: Wu Yan has always been steady and cautious, and is definitely not a reckless person. Now he is so anxious, something must have happened.
"Come in." There was a hint of subtle nervousness in Lan Wangshu's voice.
Wu Yan pushed the door open and walked in. His black robe was covered in dust and green leaves, making him look very disheveled. His eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and self-blame.
"What happened?" Lan Wangshu's tone was full of concern.
"Xihe and his men were ambushed, and another group of people were involved." Wu Yan's voice was a little low, and he clenched his fists, as if trying to restrain his inner anger.
"How is the person?" Lan Wangshu's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she asked anxiously.
"He's fine, but... he failed to complete the girl's instructions. Xihe..." Wu Yan's voice was a little choked. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Lan Wangshu's eyes.
At this time, Xihe and others were waiting outside the door anxiously like ants on a hot pot. After hearing what Lan Wangshu said, they could no longer hold back. Xihe walked straight into the room like an arrow from a bow, and knelt down in front of Lan Wangshu with a plop, his face full of guilt.
"Miss, Xihe was careless. I didn't expect that the other party had such a powerful master. Xihe is unworthy of your trust. Please punish me." Xihe's voice was mixed with regret and remorse, like a sharp sword piercing his heart.
