Chapter 1194: Chapter 1192: Never Fight an Unprepared Battle
After having a al with Old Mr. ng, Wufu hurried back to the city. i Shi drove the carriage swiftly, just barely making it through the city gates before they closed. By the ti they returned to the residence, the lamps had already been lit.
"Did Chi San co back? Let him co and speak to ." Wufu asked, sitting in the study.
Mo Lan personally went to pass the ssage, and shortly after, Chi San ca to report.
"Miss." Chi San greeted with a respectful bow.
Wufu said, "Today I received news at Old Mr. ng’s place that Wu Lihong has returned to the capital. Send soone to see where he is."
By the looks of it, that scoundrel should be back soon. Just as Old Mr. ng said, the upcoming days are likely to be quite lively.
"Yes." Chi San replied, "By coincidence, there is also a matter to report to you, miss."
"Oh?"
"Chi Er sent a ssage, saying that they failed at Lanting Tower. However, according to your instructions, they made a sealed docunt." Chi San reported.
The corners of Wufu’s mouth curled slightly, "Very good!"
Although this sealed docunt may not cause much of a stir, if it spreads, it will be a heavy blow to Madam Wang. Hiring soone to kill, such a malicious intent, public scorn could drown her.
Saying it was the servants acting on their own without her involvent, who wouldn’t think she was just using them as scapegoats? After all, in such big families, using a scapegoat is a common occurrence.
If such a scandal were to break out, the reputations of Madam Wang’s two daughters would surely be affected too. With such a malicious mother, how good could the daughters possibly be?
So, don’t plead innocence, we all understand these unwritten rules!
This sealed docunt is not enough; another incident of Madam Wang harming others with her cunning would be sufficient, wouldn’t it? One could be a coincidence, but could two be as well?
Wufu had no intention of using this tactic against Madam Wang for now, but if Madam Wang failed to recognize the situation, she wouldn’t hesitate to be unkind.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, the sa goes for battles. Wufu never fights unprepared.
"Chi Er has already hastened his steps and should join Purple Jade’s group to enter the capital if there are no accidents," Chi San said.
"Hmm." Wufu asked him a few more questions about business matters, then dismissed him, considering what to do when Madam Zhou arrived in the capital.
The more she thought about it, the more it gave her a headache!
No more thinking!
Wufu picked up the carving knife and focused entirely on finishing the seal she was working on. There were only a few days left before the apprenticeship banquet.
anwhile, at the Wu Residence, there were also discussions about the Lanting Tower affair. Naturally, it was Madam Wang and her confidant Nanny Wei speaking.
"How long has it been, yet they haven’t sent any ssage?" Madam Wang asked with a frown. "It’s just a couple of unard won, and it still takes so long?"
Nanny Wei smiled apologetically, "Perhaps they were delayed on the road, after all, the journey back and forth does take quite so ti."
"It wouldn’t be a case of taking the money and not doing the work, would it?" Madam Wang said.
"That surely wouldn’t happen; people who make a living in this line of work wouldn’t want to ruin their own reputation, right?" Nanny Wei hesitated for a mont.
Madam Wang snorted, "People like these, out of sight, what credibility can they claim?"
Nanny Wei fell silent.
Madam Wang felt irritated. The ghostly events at ho had just settled, yet thinking of this matter again truly brought back that sense of irritation, leaving her with no way to vent.
"Forget it, have your eldest son take a look, let’s not have the matter remain unfinished and the silver wasted." Madam Wang said, trying to suppress her inner agitation.
Nanny Wei smiled bitterly in her heart but dared not refuse, only nodding in agreent.
