Chapter 229 He Can Only Accept It
county seat.
Lu Shao went to the county town to deliver candles to Ji Songbai.
When I arrived at Ji's house, Ji Songbai was not at home.
He waited for a while before the other party came back in a hurry.
Seeing that Ji Songbai looked like he hadn't slept well for a few days, Lu Shao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Songbai has completely regarded Lu Shao as his best friend.
So there was no hiding it, “I’ve been looking for someone these past few days, so I’ve been running around.”
Lu Shao guessed when he heard it, "Are you looking for the wife of Marquis Wu'an?"
Ji Songbai was stunned, "How do you know?"
Lu Shao said: "Because I know she has been missing in the past few days, and many people are looking for her."
Ji Songbai sighed, "Our family has received news that a killer from a killer organization is looking for Madam Hou everywhere."
"They even came to our county to search today."
"We don't know what the Marquis's current situation is, or whether she's in danger, so we have to hurry up and look for her."
Lu Shao frowned slightly, "You mean there is a special assassin looking for Madam Hou and wants to kill her?"
Ji Songbai nodded, "Yes, that's why my father and I were so anxious. We haven't slept much these past few days."
Lu Shao thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask why you followed Madam Hou?"
"Your Ji family has taken refuge with Marquis Wu'an?"
In his previous life in the capital, he did not realize how much interest there was between the Ji family and Marquis Wu'an.
On the contrary, the Ji family and Marquis Wu'an do not get along well.
Ji Songbai replied: "The mother of Wu'an Hou's wife is related to our Ji family."
"The direct descendants of the Ji family are relatively close to the Zhenguogong Mansion."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the second son of Marquis Wu'an will be the heir to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
"And our Ji family is now at his service."
"I was thinking before that if there was a chance, I would introduce you to the Second Young Master."
That's why he didn't hide the matter from Lu Shao.
The second young master hates foolishly filial people the most. He should like Lu Shao, who was adopted out and betrayed his biological father.
Lu Shao understood immediately that this was the relationship between the Ji family and the second young master.
It is no wonder that after the death of the eldest son and the Duke of Zhenguo, the Ji family was suppressed by the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an.
He said, "The wife of Marquis Wu'an is fine. You can pretend to send someone to the next county to look for her."
The Ji family had many spies in the county town, and Mrs. Hou did not live in seclusion in the village, but instead went out to play with her young wife every day.
There are so many people coming and going in the workshop now.
Even if he doesn't say it now, the Ji family will soon find out and confirm it.
And the Marquis’s wife didn’t actually try to cover up her whereabouts.
The Ji family belongs to her eldest son, so there is no problem in telling them the news.
It just happened that the Ji family could divert the attention of those killers.
Ji Songbai looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"
Lu Shao replied: "Because the wife of Marquis Wu'an is in our village."
"She was seriously injured before, and was just encountered and rescued by my wife."
Ji Songbai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That's great, at least her life is not in danger."
Otherwise, if something happened to the Madam, who knows what would happen to the Second Young Master.
Lu Shao warned Ji Songbai, "Don't let anyone else know about this except your father."
The Ji family has taken refuge with the second young master, and the young wife is now his godsister.
In addition, Ji Songbai is his good friend, so they are in the same boat.
They can also collaborate at a deeper level.
After he left, with the help of the Yuki family, the young wife was able to better implement her plan.
Ji Songbai made a gesture to seal his mouth, "Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped. I won't tell anyone except my father."
Since the Marquis's wife went to live in the village temporarily instead of returning to the capital, there must be some reason that they couldn't spy on.
He trusted Lu Shao and his wife, so he didn't ask any more questions.
A heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders, and he felt lighter.
Looking at Lu Shao, he asked with a smile, "Are you here today to bring me candles?"
Lu Shao pointed to the wooden box on the table, "Yes! Do you like it?"
Ji Songbai walked over and opened the wooden box. "My God, this candle is so lifelike."
He picked up a horse and liked it more and more the more he looked at it. "I am satisfied. I am very satisfied."
He couldn't help but praise, "Brother Shao, your wife is really amazing."
"I want to order two more horses, what do you think?"
Lu Shao replied: "My wife has an important set of custom candles to make recently, so I'm afraid I don't have time."
Xiao Qi is going to give the Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl candle to the emperor, so there must be no mistakes in making it.
Ji Songbai smiled and said, "It's okay. Wait until my sister-in-law finishes making the candles on her hands, and then make mine."
Since he said so, Lu Shao naturally wouldn't refuse, "Okay."
Then Ji Songbai asked Lu Shao to tell Madam Hou that there was a killer looking for her.
Tell her to be careful and to let her know if she has any plans for the Ji family.
The two talked for a while, and then Lu Shao said goodbye.
Not long after, Master Ji walked in.
Seeing that his father looked worried, Ji Songbai told him that the Marquis's wife was fine.
Master Ji didn't expect that Lu Shao's wife actually saved the Marquis's wife.
Not to mention, he now has a feeling that Lu Shao's wife is a lucky star with great luck.
Otherwise, how could others not encounter such good things?
His son does have good taste.
At the same time, I felt relieved and my mood turned from gloomy to bright.
Only then did he notice the horse his son was playing with, and he also took one out of the wooden box to look at it.
Then he couldn't help but sigh, "If I hadn't told anyone, who would have thought it was a candle?"
Ji Songbai nodded, "This is so lifelike. If you put it on the table, you would think it's a decoration and you wouldn't guess it's a candle."
Then the horse in his hand was snatched away by his father and put into a wooden box.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
"This is my favorite candle, you can't take it away."
Master Ji closed the wooden box and quickly held it in his arms, "The second young master fought on the battlefield and I heard he liked to collect horses."
"I think this candle horse is very good. I plan to have someone send it to the border as a gift for the second young master."
"And pass on the news that the Marquis's wife is safe and sound."
The Marquis’ wife should have passed the message to the Second Young Master herself.
However, it does not affect their ability to spread messages and express their loyalty.
Nobles have no shortage of money or things, so gifts must be original and interesting, and only those that appeal to their tastes will be useful.
He also likes this kind of Eight Horses candle very much, which must be to the Second Young Master's liking.
So for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to give it up.
Ji Songbai: “…”
He hadn't even warmed it up yet and it was gone. I wanted to cry.
He rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Dad, you are so cruel."
If this is his biological father who wants to take it away, then he will take it back at all costs.
But if he had to give it to the Second Young Master, he had no choice but to accept it.
Fortunately, he and Lu Shao discussed booking two more sets, so he didn't feel so sad when he thought about it.
On the other side, in the village.
Qiao Ye did not return to the workshop, but was called to Wei Fenghua's home.
After sitting down, Wei Fenghua asked Qiao Ye: "Do you need my help?"
Qiao Ye did not reject her kindness, "Godmother, can you ask your people to help check who my biological mother married?"
"Old Lady Wen brought some people here today. I suspect that woman should have sent someone to deliver a message to them."
"Now that they are going back, the first thing they will do is to report what happened today."
In this way, by starting with the person who delivered the message, it would be easy to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes.
Wei Fenghua chuckled and said, "I also want to know what kind of person your mother married to make her so arrogant."
She raised her hands and clapped, and Wei Yi appeared in the room.
After listening to Wei Fenghua's instructions, he went to do his work.
Qiao Ye did not go back, but sat and waited for news.
Wei Fenghua asked: "Find out who is coming and I'll help you deal with them?"
She no longer cares about the Marquis' Mansion, so it doesn't matter if she confronts the family that Qiao Ye's mother married into, or even makes enemies with them.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Thank you, godmother, but it's not necessary."
"I want to avenge myself for what happened back then."
She already had an idea in her mind.
After it was done, the woman and the man behind her should not dare to take any ruthless action against her immediately.
Wei Fenghua could see that her goddaughter was a woman with a strong sense of independence.
Although she wanted to help, she also respected the other party's choice, "Okay, I'm always available when you need me to step in."
Qiao Ye nodded, "Okay!"
Not long after, Lu Shao came back from the county town. When he heard that his young wife was at her godmother's house, he came straight over.
When he saw Wei Fenghua, he greeted her and then told her what Ji Songbai had said.
Wei Fenghua frowned, "Since it is a killer organization, they can't be people who are against the king."
She still had some understanding of the anti-king.
Moreover, those who rebelled against the king only wanted to capture her and had no intention of killing her.
The person who deliberately stabbed her during the fight when she was running away that day did it from behind the leader who was trying to catch her.
I selfishly want to kill her.
She was a little confused, "Who else would want to kill me?"
