Chapter 778 Godfather takes action (3) + Each has his own plan
Wu Haoran stared at uncle and nephew Wang Cheng in shock, and was speechless for a moment.
He felt mixed emotions, his face was full of self-mockery and sadness, because he had learned the secret of his family from someone else, and he was also embarrassed that he had lived for more than 20 years but still had no one to rely on. This feeling of failure made him feel ashamed.
He even suspected that what he had just heard in the next room was an illusion, but his heart was extremely clear and told him that what the two people in front of him, big and small, said was all true.
As his thoughts were strained, Wu Haoran slowly lowered his head and leaned towards the door without saying a word.
Little Yining was shocked by Wu Haoran's broken look. She subconsciously looked at her uncle and silently asked, "What should I do?"
However, Wang Cheng also had a headache. He helplessly looked at this suddenly decadent young man. After hesitating for a moment, he finally called out worriedly, "Brother Wu, you..."
Just as he started to speak, history repeated itself. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Wu Haoran's eyes again, dripping silently onto the ground. The low sobs were extremely clear to the ears of the two, one big and one small.
Wang Cheng: ( ̄_ ̄|||), blame his parents for this!
Xiao Yining: ⊙▽⊙, when did his uncle bully him?
The two people in the room were left speechless by Wu Haoran's sudden "bumping into someone".
At the secret door on the other side, Qiu Yi was squatting behind the door with a telescope, spying on the movements at the door of the room, and asked Zhao Ya in a low voice: "Madam Zhao, why is Mr. Wu crying again? Should I... call the princess back?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya quickly took the telescope, bent over and took a look at the secret door, then stood up with a look of disgust on her face while complaining.
"This Third Master Wu is a notorious idiot among the young masters of the noble families. Before he met the master, he was known for his money-grubbing in the academy, tarnishing the reputation of this holy place. After meeting the master, others avoided him, fearing that they would be implicated in his foolish calculations and end up as unlucky as the master."
"Now you still cry at every turn, like a woman. Don't let this kind of behavior lead our princess astray!"
Hearing this, Qiu Yi understood what Zhao Ya meant. She forgot her previous lesson and planned to stick her head into the secret door and call her young master back to drink sweet soup.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to take action, she saw her young master holding the young man's hand with a depressed look on his face, motioning him to follow her into the house.
Qiu Yi paused abruptly, realizing that she had almost got her head stuck. She raised her head in embarrassment and said to Zhao Ya, "Madam Zhao, the princess has brought Mr. Wu San into the house again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Ya glared at her unhappily and said, "Don't talk nonsense. That was my uncle who wanted to see Mr. Wu San, and asked the princess to invite him in. The princess's reputation is a big deal. If I hear you say such thoughtless words again, I'll make you suffer!"
Qiu Yi was so scared that she shrank her neck and quickly admitted her mistake.
Zhao Ya glanced at the closed courtyard door, sighed softly, and lowered her voice to warn: "Remember, the master doesn't like people who speak without restraint. You need to be alert at all times and don't say anything that will cause trouble. Your mother still depends on you for her old age. Well, go to Shouyaotang quickly. Something big happened in the girls' school today. There must be news there. Work hard and be smart, so that you can be the first person by the princess' side and not be surpassed by the latecomers."
Qiu Yi nodded in understanding, smiled at Zhao Ya with gratitude, and ran out with the task.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the gate, she ran into Chen Jiaoyi and her new nanny, Nanny He.
Chen Jiaoyi glanced casually at Linglong Courtyard and asked with a smile, "Qiuyi, why is Aunt Zhao standing in the courtyard? Could it be that the princess's sister went to Princess Anping's place?"
Qiu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and an alarm bell instantly sounded in her mind. She hurriedly bowed and replied, "Miss Chen, Mr. Wu is visiting my uncle, and my princess has been called over by my uncle. If Miss Chen is looking for my princess, you may come back later."
Then, she bowed respectfully again: "Miss Chen, the princess ordered me to go to Shouyaotang to identify herbs. It's getting late, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she turned and left.
However, what Qiuyi did not expect was that she had just taken two steps when Chen Jiaoyi called her back.
"Qiu Yi, I have something else to ask you!"
Chen Jiaoyi and Nanny He walked forward and blocked her way, then continued, "Sister Xu from the Di Ding class didn't come today. I saw her leave with Sister Shangguan on the night of the palace banquet."
At this point, Chen Jiaoyi suddenly paused, slowly walked to Qiu Yi's side, and whispered in her ear: "Qiu Yi, when you left with the princess's sister that night, did you see Sister Xu?"
Qiu Yi glanced at her in surprise, then immediately remembered Zhao Ya's teachings, and quickly lowered her eyes and replied, "Ms. Chen, I don't know Miss Xu!"
Chen Jiaoyi was not relenting and continued to ask, "So, was there anyone with Sister Shangguan at the time?"
Qiu Yi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding, her eyebrows drooped further, and she answered cautiously: "Miss Chen, I didn't see Miss Shangguan, so I don't know!"
Chen Jiaoyi raised a faint smile and finally let Qiu Yi go, motioning for her to leave.
Qiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned. After bowing to her once more, she hurried towards Shouyaotang.
Chen Jiaoyi stared at the receding back for a moment, then turned her head to look at the old lady beside her.
Nanny He also spoke slowly at this moment: "Although this little girl is taught by Zhao Ya, she is still young and can still tell lies. Miss Chen, if you want to get close to Princess Le'an again, you can probably start with this person. However, Zhao Ya, who is by Princess Le'an's side, has only been with this girl for a year, but she has sealed her mouth so tightly. She is ultimately a hidden danger and will prevent you from getting back together with Princess Le'an."
Chen Jiaoyi's eyes flickered slightly, and she thought deeply about Xuer, then nodded slowly: "I will listen to you, Madam."
Nanny He's eyes showed a satisfied look, and she boasted: "Don't worry, Miss Chen. I have trained concubines in the palace for many years and I know how to get close to the royal family. Even if Princess Le'an hates you now, she will definitely listen to you in the future. By then, you can use her to get close to the prince. When the prince ascends the throne, it will be the time for your Chen family to regain its glory."
Chen Jiaoyi was so dizzy from the pancake that she smiled even brighter. She said firmly as if she was swearing, "My Chen family will never repeat the mistakes of the Xie family."
After a few words, the master and servant walked away from Linglong Courtyard.
Just like this, after a while, the gate of Linglong Courtyard moved again, and Zhao Ya walked out. She glanced in the direction where the master and servant had disappeared just now, her face darkened, and she muttered to herself, "Why does that old witch He seem to be up to something?"
At the same time, in Hanqiu Courtyard, Wu Haoran finally calmed down. He looked at Wang Cheng and his nephew with shame, focusing on the little boy. He pursed his lips and reflected on himself: "I know that I have money but I don't care about anything, so I don't even have anyone to help me. I usually only study hard, fearing that if I slack off, my mother will pull me to manage the shop. Therefore, I don't even have a close friend in the academy."
Uncle Wang Cheng and his nephew were so numb after hearing this: (?_?“), what kind of vicious words are these, so insane!
The old man and the kid looked at each other, and they both felt the urge to kick this local tyrant young man out!
It's a pity that Wu Haoran doesn't know how to read people's faces. He keeps talking to himself: "I just overheard Junior Brother Wang talking with Princess Le'an next door. I learned that everyone in my family is hiding something from me, and there is always a disaster for the family. Damn it, I turned a deaf ear to what's happening outside the window. My family is about to face a disaster, but I'm still thinking about my own selfish desires."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Wang Cheng's wrist and said, "Junior Brother Wang, I need to go home to stop my mother, make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence, and save her life. When the matter is settled, I will go back to the academy to study. If I cannot come back..."
The young man paused for a moment and looked at the silent kid. "At that time, I think something had happened to me, and you and Junior Brother Lin announced to the public that the godparent relationship between us had been dissolved. I will write a letter of severance when I return to the dormitory, and take it out when the time comes, so as not to implicate me and cause a joke."
Little Yining was moved by what he heard, and asked with concern: "Godfather, will you participate in the Enke?"
Wu Haoran's tears, which had disappeared, were about to burst out again. He pretended to be calm and replied with a wry smile: "Godfather, I won't take the exam anymore. I'll talk about it after I deal with my mother's affairs."
After these words were spoken, the young man no longer had the mood to stay here. He stood up suddenly and walked out with a righteous look.
