Chapter 1303: Chapter 1301: Overbearing Rejection
Gifts are always being exchanged, particularly in July when there are more. Wufu heard that Wu Lihong sent over so gifts fit for girls from the inner chambers, mocking silently. Hard tactics didn’t work, so he’s trying to soften her approach? Playing the family card?
"Throw them back to him, don’t dirty my place." Wufu said coldly, "Also, give those who are watching outside the gate a good punishnt, and toss them back to the Wu Family’s door."
Does he think she’s dead? Watching her like a hawk!
"Yes." The steward retreated.
Mo Lan hurried inside, followed by a man dressed as a house servant.
Upon seeing him, Wufu straightened her back instantly. This was the Hidden Guard she left at the estate to protect Madam Zhou. Why had he co? Had sothing gone wrong?
"Greetings, miss." The Hidden Guard knelt on one knee; his face was weary with dust.
"Stand up and speak. You are here, is there sothing wrong?" Wufu asked, her hands clenched.
"Miss, Madam is ill, her fever doesn’t abate, and the dicine prescribed by the doctor isn’t working." The Hidden Guard said, "I dared not conceal anything from you, hence I ca to report."
"Ill?" Wufu’s expression changed slightly, and she urgently instructed Mo Lan, "Have Chi San quickly send a ssage to call Bai Xiaobai back from the Eastern Palace, and prepare the horses. Get Jadeite to follow
to the estate first."
"Yes."
Purple Jade received the ssage and rushed over, already prepared with a small pouch filled with dicine, and the horses were ready.
Wufu nodded at the sight, returned to her room to change into simple riding clothes, and departed with Jadeite, Mo Lan, and Chi Liu, Chi Er, and others, while instructing Purple Jade to send Bai Xiaobai to the estate as soon as he returned.
After delivering these commands, she nimbly mounted the horse, lashed the reins, and the horse dashed away like an arrow, quickly disappearing from sight.
anwhile, Wu Lihong was eagerly awaiting good news from Fu Gui, who sent the gift. Instead, what ca back was a resounding slap in the face, making his beard tremble with anger.
Upon hearing that those sent for surveillance had also been flung back, his expression fluctuated even more, but after a long while, he stroked his beard again, squinting his eyes in contemplation and calculation.
The closer he got to Wufu, the deeper he delved into what she possessed and the strength she displayed, leaving Wu Lihong increasingly astonished.
There’s sothing extraordinary about this daughter!
Why say so?
If Wufu were truly like his other daughters—imrsed all day in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dressing up—then the firmness she exhibited wouldn’t be possible, and such firmness requires confidence to form.
What is confidence? It’s manpower, money, and influence—a lack of any is unfeasible. Now, Wufu disregards him; putting aside influence for now, she certainly doesn’t lack money or manpower. Otherwise, how could a re young girl boldly declare to toss out gifts and spies?
It’s due to her wielding so manpower that she can be so domineering, and to discover the surveillance was his, she must have investigated?
Having manpower and money, plus intelligence, undeniably, Wufu increasingly caught his attention, and interest—who doesn’t like smart people? Even daughters bring their own advantages.
Wu Lihong grew more interested in Wufu and said to Fu Gui, "Investigate. Find out quickly where Madam Zhou is being hidden by her! And investigate all those closely associated with her."
He realized that with Madam Zhou around, things went smoothly; now they weren’t, so Madam Zhou must be absent, and Wufu, appearing to have so skills, could not be overlooked!
If Wu Lihong finally discovers his misfortunes were all thanks to Wufu, who knows what expression he’d wear!
