"It's nothing, I just asked you to get something."

"Oh."

Seeing Linghe rush out in a panic, Wanqiu shook her head.

Linghe had only been punished by the girl to stand for a short while, so why had she become so timid?

After dinner.

A message came from Qingsongyuan that the young master had official business to attend to tonight, so he had Liuyun deliver the message in advance that he would not be coming tonight.

Wu Weiwei was practicing calligraphy inside the house.

Several maids were quietly doing needlework to the side.

"Ouch!"

"Linghe, why are you pricking yourself again? Are you alright?"

Lingfu said with heartache.

Wanqiu glanced at her and felt that Linghe was restless and irritable today.

Linghe glanced at Wu Weiwei cautiously, "Miss, did I disturb your calligraphy practice? Maybe I shouldn't learn anymore?"

"It's nothing, I'm just practicing for fun. Embroidery, you can't embroider well without doing it a few times, right, Wanqiu?"

Wanqiu was the teacher among the three, and she taught the other two what they didn't know how to do.

Wanqiu laughed and said, "What you say is true, Miss. I don't know how much blood I squeezed out of my fingers when I first learned it."

Linghe, with your temperament, you need to calm down to learn this.

Linghe smiled awkwardly, nodded, and continued threading the needle, learning the basics.

An hour later, Wu Weiwei was about to finish practicing calligraphy and go to sleep.

Just then, a cuckoo's call suddenly came from outside. "There's a bird calling! There's a bird calling!"

Polly, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up and exclaimed in surprise.

“Polly, that’s someone imitating bird calls, not a real bird.”

Lingfu covered her mouth and laughed.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"Lingfu, go out and see what's going on?"

Of the three maids, Lingfu was the tallest. Although she was kind and gentle, she was also quite bold.

"Yes, girl."

Several people waited patiently for Lingfu.

After a while.

Lingfu brought back a letter.

“Miss, when I went out I only saw this letter tucked in the crack of the door, I didn’t see anyone.”

"Give it to me."

Lingfu carefully handed the letter to Wu Weiwei.

"To find out the secret of the iron box, meet me at the Rose Pavilion tonight at midnight. --The Cloaked Man"

"Girl, what's written on this? It's so mysterious."

Lingfu asked curiously.

Wu Weiwei folded the note and put it in her pocket. It was nothing, just a prank by bored people.

"Alright, everyone go to sleep, it's getting late."

After the maids left, Wu Weiwei took out the note she had just received.

The cloaked figure knew he was looking for the iron box, so he wanted to have an open and honest conversation with her.

So, should she keep this appointment or not?

The third watch.

Wu Weiwei changed into a casual outfit, quietly picked up a basket, and went out.

Not long after she left, a figure quietly followed her.

When Wu Weiwei arrived, she saw a figure wearing a cloak standing quietly under the moonlight.

"who are you?"

Wu Weiwei stepped forward.

The figure slowly turned around.

"Vivi..."

It was a man's handsome face, thin, pale, and with a touch of scholarly air.

"So you're the cloaked figure who hid the iron box, the mastermind behind it all?"

"Weiwei, I'm your sweetheart..."

The handsome man stepped forward and called her name affectionately.

"Shut up! Who are you?"

The man walked towards her.

Just as he was about to pounce on her, Wu Weiwei shoved the basket over his head and then kicked him in the groin.

"Oh, you..."

The man clutched his stomach, but his body still swayed as he rushed toward her.

"Bitch."

If she still wants to hurt herself after all this, then she shouldn't blame her.

She took out the scissors she had prepared beforehand and, as he lunged at her, cut his genitals.

There was a tearing sound.

The man let out a painful howl; the scissors seemed to have sliced ​​his thigh, narrowly missing his genitals.

The man and his basket collapsed to the ground.

"Ahhh... Someone, someone help me!"

As Wu Weiwei walked towards him without stopping, the man was terrified.

The man didn't tell him that Wu Weiwei was actually so fierce.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Although she knew that tonight's meeting might be a trap, Wu Weiwei still went to keep the appointment without hesitation.

She's even tougher than a pervert when it comes to dealing with lecherous men.

The person behind that probably miscalculated.

"I was not sent here by anyone, but because I have long admired you!"

"Really? You admire me?"

"It's true, Weiwei, I really admire you, but I never expected you to treat me like this..."

"You admire me, don't you?"

Wu Weiwei raised the scissors. "Since you like me, you should be willing to sacrifice for me. How about I make you a eunuch?"

The word "eunuch" sent shivers down the spines of any man.

"No, please spare me! I still need to take the imperial examination next year."

"Imperial examination?"

Wu Weiwei frowned.

"who are you?"

"I, I am..."

Just then, a beam of fire suddenly shone in their direction.

"Right here, I see some young girl and some wild man committing lewd acts inside, look..."

Butler Li arrived in a hurry with several men, seemingly there to arrest someone.

Wu Weiwei frowned.

She looked at the disheveled man, who also looked surprised.

"Wu, Wu Tongfang, how could it be you?"

Biyunting.

Lu Hanting's gaze sharpened as he coldly stared at the handsome man before him.

"Chen Qing, what's going on?"

Chen Qing trembled, barely daring to meet his gaze.

"Yes, yes, it was Wu Tongfang who took the initiative to ask me to meet at the Rose Pavilion, saying that he had something to discuss with me."

The young master glanced at Wu Weiwei and asked, "You really made a date with him?"

Wu Weiwei gave him a cold smile, "Does the young master believe him or me?"

Lu Hanting remained silent, waiting for her explanation.

Hmph, with such flawed tricks, you think you can bring her down? That person is probably too weak.

"I don't even know who you are, how could I write to you?"

“You’re talking nonsense. We met in the garden that day, and you even had a maid ask me my name in private.”

He said he admired my talent and that I was his type, which is why he asked me to meet him at the Rose Pavilion tonight.

But I never imagined that after your advances were rejected, you would be so cruel as to try to kill me. How vicious you are!

The man touched his thigh, looking regretful.

Wu Weiwei glanced at him indifferently, but it made his hair stand on end.

"Your Highness, do you believe that?"

Before Lu Hanting could answer, Wu Weiwei said coolly, "This young master Chen thinks too highly of himself."

You said I wouldn't love such a handsome man as the Crown Prince, but instead fell for someone of your status.

Wu Weiwei gave him a disdainful look.

Those who understand the expression will understand.

Seeing the prince's lips curl into a smile, Chen Qing feared he had believed her, so she quickly took out the letter from her bosom.

"You're lying. You were the one who invited me to meet you at the Rose Pavilion tonight to confess your feelings."

"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I have a letter she wrote to me here. You can compare it with her handwriting and see if it's her work."
