Chapter 241 Sending Letters
The woman with the curved eyebrows was none other than Zhou Fangfang, who was still staying in the capital with her brother from the Zhou clan chief's family.
Today, Fangfang accompanied Zhou's brother's classmate to visit the Wang residence. To be honest, she was fortunate enough to overhear Wang Jihuai and his group's conversation thanks to the scheming of the young ladies of the Wang family.
However, Fangfang was very happy at that moment. She skipped and hopped towards the gate of the Wang residence, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
Therefore, Fangfang planned to leave early to deliver a message to Li Xiaonuan.
Fangfang had overheard a secret conversation between the Zhou clan chief and his brother, and learned that Li Xiaonuan was in a very precarious situation. She also learned that unrest was about to occur in the capital.
Furthermore, Zhou's older brother often discussed the current situation with his classmates who were officials at home. Under his influence, Fangfang also learned to analyze a lot of things.
Strangely enough, despite the large size of the Wang mansion, there were surprisingly few servants. Fangfang ran around most of the mansion before finally managing to stop a maid carrying tea and snacks, asking her to inform the girl who had brought her there that she had to return home.
And so, Fangfang successfully left the Wang residence and ran all the way to Prince Jing's villa.
Fangfang was only twelve years old and used to being wild in the countryside. She didn't care about her image or how others might stare, because nobody in Beijing knew her.
Li Xiaonuan was quite shocked to learn that Fangfang had come on her own. Given the uncertain situation in the capital, her family had chosen to stay in their villa and hadn't gone anywhere.
The only exception was that Xiao Gang went to the Qi residence every day to report and learn from Qi Ji for two hours.
"Fangfang, what brings you here? Look how sweaty you are, it's already late autumn. Did something happen? Tell your auntie quickly." As soon as Li Xiaonuan stepped into the main hall, she heard Su's caring voice.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I just heard some things and wanted to talk to Sister Xiaonuan about them. So I didn't think much of it and just ran all the way here," Fangfang said, panting.
"Fangfang, what's wrong?" Li Xiaonuan thought Fangfang was in trouble.
"Sister Xiaonuan, it's not that I'm in trouble." Fangfang took a sip of tea before telling Li Xiaonuan exactly what she had heard.
"Fangfang, is what you just said true? Did you really hear it with your own ears?" Li Xiaonuan asked in surprise.
Fangfang's slightly chubby oval face was full of sincerity: "Sister Xiaonuan, I won't lie to you. I heard it clearly. That's what they said."
Moved, Li Xiaonuan stepped forward and hugged Fangfang tightly. She didn't know how to talk to Fangfang, after all, Fangfang was still young and grew up in the countryside, so she probably didn't understand such things.
However, Fangfang, with her keen intuition, analyzed the importance of those words and immediately ran out to tell Li Xiaonuan. How could Li Xiaonuan not be moved?
"Fangfang, how can I thank you enough? You're truly my lucky star and savior. Including the last time I fell into the water, you've saved me twice now." Li Xiaonuan's eyes welled up with tears. She liked this girl so much.
"Sister, what's wrong? I just mentioned something trivial, how did I become your savior?" Fangfang asked, a little embarrassed. She blushed in Li Xiaonuan's arms.
"Fangfang, you are the great benefactor of your sister Xiaonuan. Your auntie has the final say." Madam Su said, gently patting Fangfang's back. "Auntie will make a beautiful dress for Fangfang later."
Having received this important news, Li Xiaonuan naturally wanted to find a way to pass it on to Prince Jing or Wei Yu. However, she didn't know how to do it.
After arriving in the capital, she was completely clueless. She even forgot to ask how to contact Prince Jing and Wei Yu.
Finally, Li Xiaonuan thought of Sang Moyun. Only she could freely enter and leave the Wei residence and personally deliver the letter to Wei Yu.
In fact, Wei Yu didn't even need Li Xiaonuan to send a letter; he already knew everything that was happening at the Wang residence. However, Wei Yu was still very happy to receive Li Xiaonuan's letter.
After all, the fact that Wei Yu was the first person Li Xiaonuan thought of meant that he still held a place in her heart.
However, it took quite a bit of trouble for this useless letter to reach Wei Yu.
No, it can't be said that the letter was completely useless. At least, it revealed a fact: the seemingly impregnable Wang residence was actually riddled with loopholes. They hadn't even noticed this before.
It's a shame that their people did all that research and analysis when they visited the Wang residence. They never imagined that a mere little girl would turn all their hard work into a joke.
Furthermore, they had never imagined that Madam Feng was such a scheming woman. Judging from her behavior today, she was clearly trying to sow discord between the Wang family and the eldest prince and his mother.
They can take advantage of this.
"Qinghuo, go and investigate everything that Feng has done before. Be quick, I need to know tonight." After thinking for a moment, Wei Yu gave another order.
"Qingyun, you take men and make sure to intercept and kill those messengers on the way. Afterwards, you will disguise yourselves as messengers and head to the Northwest Camp. Remember, if things go wrong, retreat immediately and do not be greedy for credit."
After giving his instructions, Wei Yu became restless again. He stared at the letter lying on the table, his mind unable to find peace for a long time.
To be honest, Li Xiaonuan definitely didn't have any ulterior motives for sending him this letter. But Wei Yu couldn't help but wonder about Li Xiaonuan's motives.
After the emperor met Li Xiaonuan last time, he asked Wei Yu why Li Xiaonuan was so special.
Wei Yu was terrified when he heard this, fearing that the emperor's suspicions would not be dispelled and that he would get rid of Li Xiaonuan.
Fortunately, the emperor only mentioned it briefly and then nothing more was said. But Wei Yu was still worried, worried that the emperor had other intentions towards Li Xiaonuan.
To be honest, if it were him, he would want to lock up Li Xiaonuan and extract all the useful information and knowledge from her.
No matter how anxious Wei Yu was, Li Xiaonuan fell asleep peacefully after learning that the letter had been delivered.
So much so that when Wei Yu once again easily slipped into Li Xiaonuan's room, he became even more frustrated.
Li Xiaonuan was curled up in the blankets, fast asleep. Her slightly sunken eyes revealed that she hadn't been doing well lately. Her unconsciously curled-up body also spoke of her deep-seated insecurity.
Wei Yu sighed, stepped forward, lifted a corner of the curtain, sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared at Li Xiaonuan for a long time.
