The two stood there and made love for a while.

After he finished enjoying the sour feeling, Wu Weiwei blinked and looked at him.

"What, do you need something from me?"

"Well, it's not exactly asking for it."

Lu Hanting raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Wu Weiwei hooked her fingers around his belt and played with it. "Won't the young master ask me what I want?"

Ha ha.

It's nothing more than this greedy little man trying to take advantage of him again.

Seeing that she liked the games, he was happy to indulge her.

"What's the matter?"

When Wu Weiwei saw that he asked, she said, "It's Sister Chen, whom I met at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion two days ago. She is Ranran's savior."

You know, a life-saving debt should be repaid if possible.

She was a good cook, and was originally summoned by Aunt Mei of the Marquis of Changning to apply for the position of cook.

What I mean is, how about letting her take office directly?

"Okay, okay, okay."

Before the prince could answer, the parrot in the birdcage hanging nearby replied on his behalf.

"Hehe, Your Highness, my parrot has already answered for you."

Lu Hanting looked at the traitorous parrot and laughed in anger.

"Since it's praising it, I'll give it face!"

The prince stayed with her for a full two hours before finally leaving.

Wu Weiwei was so tired that she wanted to fall asleep, but she only lay there for half an hour before getting up.

"Wanqiu, help me with my makeup."

Wanqiu is very skillful. She only gave her guidance a few times, but now she does a great job of combing hair, putting up hairstyles, and applying makeup. She is about to surpass Wanqiu.

Since someone was taking care of her, Wu Weiwei naturally wouldn't tire herself out anymore.

Having someone wait on you while you eat, bathe, and sleep—what a wonderful life!

Isn't this the ideal life she's pursuing in modern times?

Looking at her young lady's beaming smile in the mirror, Wanqiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, where are you going to get ready?"

"Going to the villa to visit someone."

Through the mirror, Wanqiu watched as Wu Weiwei's smile faded.

Wu Weiwei was unhappy at the thought of visiting this acquaintance.

Because the metal box left behind by the female protagonist has disappeared.

That Japanese woman thought the prince wouldn't go back, but when she went back the next morning, she found that the iron box had disappeared.

If asked who did it, her first suspect would be Chunrou, who returned later than her.

But Chunrou had already been expelled from the manor by the prince for committing a crime.

Afterwards, she asked Lingfu to inquire about Chunrou's daily habits.

Many people in the manor say she is afraid of ghosts and rarely passes by the Rose Pavilion.

So the question is, why did she suggest taking her for a walk in the garden that day?

She's clearly terrified of ghosts, could it really be just a chance encounter with the prince?

But she didn't see the prince that night either.

Could it be that the person who burned paper money at the Rose Pavilion that night secretly came back and took the iron box afterwards?

She left Linghe to watch over the courtyard while she took Lingfu and Wanqiu with her.

Inside the carriage, Wu Weiwei felt a vague unease. She sensed that there was a force pulling things back from their original course.

If I'm not mistaken, that person's goal should be to bring the female lead back.

Who would benefit from bringing the female lead back, and who would suffer the consequences?

There are many people in this Marquis's mansion who don't like her, and she simply can't eliminate them all.

Now, she has identified three suspects who are most likely to have taken the iron box from the mansion.

The first one is Chunrou; she is the most suspicious.

Secondly, there's the cloaked figure; she's also a suspect.

Then there's the Fourth Sister. She hates herself so much. Is it possible that she bribed someone to plot against her?

Regardless, all Wu Weiwei wants to say is that she has disappointed them.

Because regardless of whether the female lead comes back or not, this position is no longer hers.

An hour later.

Wu Weiwei arrived at Yunmu Manor.

The estate covers an area of ​​100 acres, and its daily output consists of grains and vegetables.

This manor belongs to the heir of the Marquis's mansion. She had informed him before leaving, saying that she wanted to pick some fresh fruits to make some jam or something.

Actually, her main purpose was to see Chunrou.

That's right. After Chunrou was kicked out of the manor by the prince, she was sent to the manor by her father, who was in charge of the household, to recuperate.

Now that half a month has passed, he should have recovered quite a bit.

When Manager Zhou of the manor saw her coming, he ran over from a distance and said, "Miss Wu, just tell us what you would like to eat, and we will pick fresh ones for you and send them over that day. There is no need for you to come all the way here."

Manager Zhou said solicitously.

The Marquis's mansion has no heir apparent's wife; the heir apparent currently only has this one concubine by his side.

Moreover, given her current level of favor, there's a high probability she'll become a concubine in the future, so it's wise to curry favor with her for now.

It must be said that Manager Zhou is perceptive.

"Manager Zhou, I enjoy the sense of accomplishment from picking the fruit myself; it's a different feeling than when you deliver it to me."

As Wu Weiwei breathed in the fresh air of the manor, she felt her mood brighten up.

The air was so fresh in ancient times, and the scenery was breathtaking. In particular, the air was rich in negative oxygen ions.

If it weren't for other matters, she would have been willing to stay at the estate for a while.

Manager Zhou accompanied her around a few times, and saw that the fruit basket was already piled high with all kinds of fruits.

He was about to ask a servant to bring another basket when he heard Wu Weiwei say, "Manager Zhou."

"Oh! Miss Wu, please feel free to give me any instructions."

Wu Weiwei glanced at him.

"I heard that Steward Lai's daughter is recuperating at the manor. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Steward Zhou wiped his forehead and said tremblingly, "Miss Wu, you mean Chunrou, right?"

He was aware of the conflict between Chunrou and Wu Tongfang.

But the deadbeat begged him, and given their friendship of over ten years, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

The fact that Chunrou was taken in at the manor was actually known to everyone in the Marquis's mansion, but no one brought it up, so the masters turned a blind eye.

But if Wu Tongfang deliberately makes a big fuss about this today, then...

Seeing that he seemed quite frightened, Wu Weiwei didn't make things difficult for him.

"I'm not here today to make things difficult for her, but I have a few questions to ask her."

"Really?"

Hearing that it was just a question, Steward Zhou felt relieved.

"Ah."

Led by Steward Zhou, Wu Weiwei quickly arrived at Chunrou's room.

"Knock knock knock!"

Wu Weiwei heard a series of staggering footsteps approaching from inside, and then the back door was opened from the inside.

"Who is it! Miss Wu..."

Upon seeing Wu Weiwei, Chunrou involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Chunrou..."

After dismissing all other people, only Wu Weiwei and Chunrou remained in the room.

"Speak, what brings you here?"

Looking at Wu Weiwei, who was dressed in a glamorous outfit, Chunrou felt that God was being unfair.

If she had succeeded that day, I'm afraid I would be the one dressed like this today.

Because of this thought, her tone was not respectful at all, but rather revealed a hint of resentment.

Hehe, I guess this is her true colors!

"Chunrou, let's get straight to the point! What was your purpose in leading me to the Rose Pavilion that night?"
