After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

"Yes, Mother will wait here!"

Thinking that she would soon receive ten taels of silver, Li was overjoyed. She casually found a clean spot and sat down.

Biyunting.

Shortly after breakfast, Lingfu came in to report that Physician Lin had arrived.

"Dr. Lin, you've come so early, have you had your meal yet?"

The female physician Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I have already used it at home. How are you feeling today?"

"Uh……"

Wu Weiwei slowly turned around, still feeling a little awkward.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to come over a few more times, Dr. Lin."

Wu Weiwei said shyly.

"It's alright, this illness can't be rushed. I think if I massage it for you two or three more times, the lesion will be cured."

Although Dr. Lin spoke subtly, Wu Weiwei looked embarrassed.

She inwardly cursed that it was all the fault of that scoundrel, the Crown Prince.

Despite his aloof and unapproachable demeanor, he's surprisingly adept in bed.

The two went to the bed in the inner room. Wu Weiwei took off her outer garment, and Doctor Lin stood at the edge of the bed and began to massage her.

An hour later.

Linghe escorted Doctor Lin out of the courtyard.

Just as she turned to walk back, she saw an unfamiliar maid peeking out from the gate of their courtyard.

"Hey tall idiot, call Wu Weiwei out for me, I need to talk to her."

When Linghe first heard someone call her a tall, silly girl, she immediately laughed in anger.

Looking at the pretty maid in front of her, Linghe seemed to have some impression of her. This was the maid that the Fourth Miss had chosen to serve her yesterday.

The reason I remember her is because she was in front of me in line yesterday.

She naturally noticed that she kept glancing at their master with her eyes.

It seems she knows her master, but whether the young lady knows her is another matter.

Such an unruly and rude girl is not worth her time.

Linghe glanced at her, then turned and closed the door, heading towards the inner courtyard.

"Hey... how can you be so rude? All I asked you to do was call someone."

Looking at the tightly closed courtyard gate, He Yaya wanted to rush forward and ram it, but she was afraid that if she did, she would expose her sneaking over.

After all, the Marquis's mansion has its own rules. If a mere maid from another courtyard were caught sneaking off to another master's courtyard during her free time, her wages would be deducted.

If Wu Weiwei were to report this to Madam Hou, she was worried that she would be punished.

Linghe entered the courtyard and saw Lingfu and Wanqiu drying their quilts in the yard.

The girl has just finished her massage and is sleeping in the room.

As the morning passed, Linghe forgot about the little incident that had just happened.

He Yaya waited outside for a while but no one came out. She went back to the Fourth Miss's courtyard to serve in a huff, completely forgetting that her mother, Madam Li, was still waiting for Wu Weiwei to come out from the back door.

It wasn't until evening, when He Yaya finished the tasks assigned by the Fourth Sister and thought of her mother, that she discovered her mother had already passed away.

Old Chen, the gatekeeper, told her that Li had been guarding the back gate for a whole day, but in the end, she was driven away by Steward Li.

Because of the old and new grudges against He Yaya, she blamed Wu Weiwei for everything.

"You, Wu Weiwei, think you're something special just because you've become the prince's concubine! How dare you refuse to see me! One day, when I become the prince's woman, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget! You lowlife!"

He Yaya walked in, cursing all the way.

Meanwhile, Li, the peddler from the outskirts of Beijing, was still troubled after returning home that day. She didn't know whether her daughter Yaya hadn't delivered the message or whether the message had been delivered but Wu Weiwei was being aloof and refusing to see her.

After returning home, he treated Wu Heran with hostility, constantly beating and scolding him, reverting to his old, sharp-tongued and mean-spirited demeanor.

On that very day, Li beat Wu Heran again over a trivial matter, and the little boy finally fought back and escaped from home.

"Go ahead and run, but if you're so capable, don't come back, you little devil."

So you feel emboldened now that your sister's become a concubine in the Marquis's household, huh? If you're so capable, then don't come back tonight. I don't care about you…

Li watched his small figure run away, but did not chase after him.

Five-year-old Wu Heran ran away from the Li family without a care in the world. He had only one thought in his mind: he didn't want to stay in the He family anymore. His sister was in the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, and he wanted to go find her.

It was three days later when Wu Weiwei learned that her younger brother was not at the He family's house.

On this sunny day, Wu Weiwei had just returned from serving at Qingsong Courtyard. As she passed through the garden on her way back to her own courtyard, a little maid suddenly rushed in front of her.

"Wu Tongfang, I am He Yaya, the youngest daughter of the He family in the suburbs of Beijing. May I speak with you in private?"

When Wu Weiwei saw the person rushing towards her, she was almost startled and jumped up. However, after she saw who it was and heard that it was the He family, she finally remembered them.

She was dressed in a lilac-purple dress with a dark floral butterfly pattern, and her hair was styled in the fashionable double buns. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled those of Li Shi by three points. Although her features were not particularly outstanding, she was still quite pretty.

This person was actually the youngest daughter of the Li family, whom the original owner had entrusted to raise Ranran.

Wu Weiwei had only been to the He family twice. The first time was when the original owner entrusted her younger brother to the He family, and the second time was when Ranran was sick and she went to visit her and warned Li Shi.

I met He Yaya once when I visited the original owner of the He family, but because it was too rushed, I only had a vague impression of her.

The second time I went, it was too late, and Li's children had all gone to bed, so I didn't remember much.

She looked directly at Wu Weiwei.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing Wu Weiwei speak, He Yaya cautiously glanced at her and whispered:

"Your brother is missing!"

"What did you say?"

Wu Weiwei took two steps forward and grabbed her shoulders. "Are you kidding me?"

"What are you doing? You're hurting me..."

He Yaya was in excruciating pain from being gripped so tightly. She struggled for a long time, but still couldn't break free from Wu Weiwei's hold.

"How could Ranran disappear? Did you do this on purpose?"

She had visited her younger brother a while ago and brought him many nice things.

She had planned to wait until the young master was less busy, then take the opportunity to propose bringing Ranran into the manor to be raised.

But little did they expect that after only a few days away, the He family would actually lose Ranran.

Wu Weiwei's aura changed instantly, and her hand clenched into a fist in her sleeve.

"No, my mother only hit him a few times. Your brother ran away from home on his own, and then that night he..."

"So what?"

Wu Weiwei's eyes turned cold, and she stared at He Yaya as if she wanted to kill her.

Intimidated by her fierce aura, He Yaya swallowed hard.

He stammered, "Ranran didn't come back that night, and he's been missing for three days now..."

"Three days, you've been missing for three days and you're only telling me now."

"You took my money, and this is how the He family operates, huh?"

Wu Weiwei raised her eyes, a hint of murderous intent surging within them.

"How can you blame me? I went to Biyunting to look for you that day, but your maid wouldn't let me in!"

At this point, He Yaya finally found an excuse.

If Wu Weiwei hadn't refused to see her, her mother wouldn't have taken her anger out on her younger brother after returning home.

Wu Heran wouldn't have run away and ended up getting lost.

However, Wu Weiwei had no time to argue with her about these things at that moment.

She warned, "From now on, you'd better pray that Ranran is alright."

"If anything happens to my brother, I will never let the He family off the hook!"
