Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 258 Raising My Own Crown Princess
Deng Huayi and her husband led their daughter into the mansion.
There's still Old Madam Wang waiting at home. After sending Li Shushu away, there's still a tough battle to fight.
Xi Yao left the Empress's palace and went to Ji Wangshu's study.
He was the only one looking at the folding book; Ye Mingxin was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother, I'm here."
"Um."
Ji Wangshu stopped writing, poured a cup of tea from his own cup, and handed it to her, saying, "Yaoyao, you've worked hard. Have some tea."
"I'm not tired, brother, you're the one who's tired."
But Xi Yao still took the cup with a straight face, drank it all in one gulp, and then handed it back to him, saying, "I want to drink more."
Ji Wangshu showed no impatience and poured her another cup.
"Is Yao Yao just going to let the Li family off the hook like that?"
"He's just a child, and Lord Li is your loyal subject, brother. You should at least show him some respect."
"Yaoyao, you don't need to worry so much." Ji Wangshu gently stroked her hair. "As long as you're happy, your brother can handle everything."
"I'm so happy, brother." Xi Yao leaned on his shoulder. "I'm not the kind of person who would let myself be wronged. Just you wait and see, Li Shushu won't be sent to Jing Shui Nunnery so easily. There will be chaos in the Li family."
Madam Wang practically treated Li Shushu like her own life.
This time, it's likely that Old Madam Wang will completely destroy any remaining mother-daughter bond that Deng Huayi has.
When the truth comes out, she'll probably be more accepting of it.
A cold glint flashed in Ji Wangshu's eyes. "If they can't send them out, I wouldn't mind giving them a hand."
Since this is the result Yao Yao wants, it must be achieved, and no one can stop her.
Xi Yao tilted her head slightly, looked at his fair profile, and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother, you're so good to me."
He truly was there for her as she grew up.
He does everything himself and never delegates the task to others.
Ji Wangshu gently tapped the tip of her nose. "If I'm not good to Yao Yao, who else can I be good to?"
"Hmph, of course you can only be nice to me."
[Host, you're so naive.]
The 996 worker covered his eyes with a pair of electronic wings, his expression one of unbearable disapproval.
Xi Yao poked the chubby bird maliciously, "I'm only nine years old, isn't it normal to be childish?"
You're not really nine years old.
"But I am nine years old now."
【…】
Unable to argue with the 996 work schedule, I silently turned around and watched cartoons.
Wounded hearts need the comfort of anime.
Xi Yao chuckled, not wanting to disturb Ji Wangshu's work, and quietly started watching anime as well.
After a while, 996 suddenly jumped up.
[Host, Lin Zhiwen discovered the note Lanxiang had slipped into his study's account book, and his expression was extremely interesting.]
"Oh, you finally found out." Xi Yao chuckled. "Did he make any moves?"
The note contained a few sentences:
Ten years ago, on the third day of the fourth lunar month at Shen time, congratulations, you had a daughter after getting drunk.
When Lin Zhiwen saw the note, his face turned pale.
Ten years have passed, and he had completely forgotten about it, yet someone still knows.
Could it be that woman who slept with me sent it?
What's their purpose in popping up at this time?
[Host, Lin Zhiwen is beginning a thorough investigation.]
Ten years ago, Lin Zhiwen had only been married into the Deng family for two years. He had no foundation and was still living at the mercy of others.
But now, ten years later, he has completely taken control of the Deng family.
If it weren't for Madam Deng Huayi, Lin Zhiwen would have brought the people he was keeping outside back to the mansion long ago.
If his official rank were no lower than Li Dongnan's, the Deng family would no longer be the Deng family.
Xi Yao smiled, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Since he's started investigating, let's give him a hand."
Back then, the Deng family mansion was still the Earl's mansion. The old Earl was still alive, and there were quite a few servants in the mansion.
Madam Wang believed she had done it quietly and that no one had seen it.
Actually, a maid saw her enter Lin Zhiwen's room.
An hour later, she was seen leaving, her clothes disheveled.
The maid was terrified.
She had a life-or-death contract with the Earl's family; there was no escaping it.
After a month of living in fear and trembling, seeing no sign of any trouble, she knew that no one had probably discovered the matter.
Then the maid kept the matter to herself and later found an opportunity to marry a minor steward on the estate.
Although it is still within the Earl's residence area, it is safer to be away from the main house.
For so many years, she never dared to tell anyone, including her husband.
"Brother, I'm going out for a bit. I need Lanxiang to do something for me."
Ji Wangshu didn't ask what was wrong, she just nodded, "Go."
Lanxiang waited outside the study door the whole time.
Upon seeing her mistress emerge, she curtsied and asked, "Young Princess, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Let's go back to the palace first. I have something to tell you."
"Yes."
The master and servant returned to their bedchamber. After Lanxiang closed the door and came over, Xiyao spoke:
"Lanxiang, find one of my secret guards who is good at tracking and have him stay at a manor called Qinglan Manor on the outskirts of the capital to protect the stewardess named Hehua."
Follow her first. If anyone kills her, rescue the person and bring them back to the capital to be housed in my name.
Remember, you must act only when she is about to be killed, when she is in the most danger.
"Yes, does the young princess have any other instructions?"
"There was once a very famous midwife in the capital, I think her name was Ajiu. Have someone invite her to my house and take good care of her, I have a use for her."
"Yes."
Lanxiang agreed and turned to leave.
Xi Yao sat on the embroidered stool and suddenly gave a sly smile.
"Back then, Madam Wang was a woman confined to the inner quarters, without any people of her own outside. She originally wanted to silence Granny Jiu, but unfortunately, she couldn't. So many years have passed, she must have thought that the matter was over and done with, right?"
Otherwise, how could they dare to openly protect Li Shushu?
At this moment, she might be throwing a tantrum at the Li residence, threatening to hang herself, trying to stop Li Shushu from being sent away.
996 chuckled along.
[Host, are you planning to use Lin Zhiwen to expose this truth?]
But surely he wouldn't be that stupid?
Lin Zhiwen has worked so hard to achieve all of this, and he would never destroy everything he has painstakingly built up over the years by self-destruction.
If the fact that he was ambushed by Madam Wang is exposed, not only will his reputation be ruined, but he will also be unable to stay in the Deng family, and he might even lose his official position.
Haven't all these years of hard work been wasted?
Xi Yao chuckled, "It's precisely because he doesn't want to expose it. Once he finds out that Hehua knows the truth, he'll kill her to silence her."
Oh, I see, hehe.
Even the 996 work schedule started to sneer.
The two men, each with their own unique style, laughed remarkably similarly.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Do you need your brother's help?"
Having not seen anyone return for a long time, Ji Wangshu came over by himself.
"Brother, are you done with your work?" Xi Yao stood up and pulled him to sit down. "I don't need your help for now. I'll ask when I need it."
Xi Yao didn't intend to keep it a secret forever; he would find out sooner or later when the truth came out.
"Hmm." Ji Wangshu didn't press further. Seeing her cheerful expression, a mischievous glint appeared in his eye: "Yaoyao, your brother is here to tell you that your teacher is back, and you should go to school as usual this afternoon."
Xi Yao: "..."
Can't laugh anymore.
Thank you so much for putting aside your political affairs to come back and tell her this "good news".
