Chapter 1083: Reunion with Old Friends

sition."Alright, no need to rush into dealing with him. It's good that we know what we're up against now. Let's focus on rescuing these wounded soldiers first.""Okay, I'll follow your lead."After hal..."Miss Liu showed no signs of being forced."

Wen Shige touched the short dagger hanging at his waist and spoke.

Wen Shirui nodded, knowing that Wen Shige would definitely not be wrong.

"What do we do next to investigate"

Wen Shixuan glared at him with her puppy dog eyes.

"Let these three people stay, and send the other brides away."

After some thought, Wen Shirui spoke.

"Brother, aren't these three people problematic Why are they still kept around"

"If this was intentionally orchestrated, they would definitely try to get us to marry these three. The remaining misses would then become obstacles in their way. With Miss Liu's experience as a warning, do you think the others could survive"

Wen Shirui smoothed his sleeves and spoke.

"Hiss!"

Wen Shixuan gasped, feeling that her vision was still limited. Seeing her second brother's nonchalant demeanor, she realized she was the only one surprised.

Then there's no need to marry them! Just grab them and lock them up.

Wen Shixuan spoke directly.

"The people standing behind them are not small families. Without conclusive evidence, it's not wise to take direct action, as we risk alarming the enemy and making it harder to expose those pulling the strings."

Wen Shi-go opened his mouth to explain.

Aren't the people behind them their families

That's not necessarily so.

Wen Shirui said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, let the imperial physician take their pulses. This will also provide an excuse to send the rest away, lest they meet an untimely end."

Wen Shige proposed.

This time Wen Shirui nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Lian Yi finished washing and dressing, had breakfast, and was then led to another courtyard. There, an old man with white hair sat, taking Hong Ling'er's pulse.

Ripples turned her head and asked:

"Spring Equinox, what are you doing"

"Madam, this is the doctor invited from the manor. He will feel your pulses to see if the poison smoke from before has been completely removed."

"I want to see, that crazy woman is really vicious."

Ripples immediately expressed understanding and support.

After a while, it was Ripples' turn. The old man felt her pulse, then smiled and said:

"The girl's body is very well, she has completely expelled the toxins."

"Thank you, doctor. Now I feel reassured."

With a ripple, she produced a golden coin from her pouch and offered it to the doctor. Only then did she return to the courtyard with her two maidservants.

Back in her attic room, Ripples eagerly asked:

"Vernal Equinox, Summer Solstice, tell me about the young master's preferences, I want to prepare a gift for him."

Li Chun and Xia Zhi looked at each other, then spoke thoughtfully:

"Miss Hua, we are maidservants from the outer court and don't know the young master's preferences. Besides, we rarely have the chance to see him."

"Well then! You guys help me and the guards inquire about these, you take them to use."

Ripples generously grabbed a handful of golden beans and shoved them into Lichun's hands. Then, she sent the two off to investigate Wen Shirui's whereabouts for her.

On the other side, Hong Ling'er was embroidering. She had spent half a day embroidering a single flower. At this moment, besides the figure of Wen Shige in her mind, there was another face. She never thought that Tiandao Lou would be so capable, with nails already driven into the inner courtyard.

Yesterday, she found an arrow on the edge of her bed at home, pointing to the rendezvous point. Late at night, she secretly snuck out of her residence, avoiding the guards at Wenjiabao's day and night watch. At the rendezvous point in the inner courtyard and outer courtyard, she met someone unexpected.

You are a person from Yinlou.

The other party directly asked.

"You are from Minglou."

Hong Ling'er calmly replied.

The other person's eyes flickered uncertainly, but eventually they nodded and then spoke:

How can I help you

"Create chaos, let me into the inner courtyard quickly."

Hong Ling'er said coldly.

Ok, I got it!

"After this, we'd best not meet."

"Understood."

Immediately, the other person vanished into the darkness. Hong Ling'er also turned and returned to her own residence.

During their conversation, both parties kept their masks on the entire time. Hong Ling'er knew that her interlocutor was a thin man, while he had already confirmed Hong Ling'er's identity.

But Hong Linger didn't know that the entire process of her meeting with the nail planted by Minglou was seen by Lian Yi.

It was merely a ripple, not disturbing the two of them. She came here for confirmation of her own thoughts, after all, she had seen an old acquaintance during the day, even though that person belonged to the world-renowned First Floor, they had clashed with each other before.

The other party is the same boy who provoked Lianyi in the cafeteria and got his teeth knocked out by her.

After returning home, Lian Yi pondered carefully and concluded that the nail Ming Lou had planted was indeed Hu Die'er, the fifth concubine who had searched her room during the day. The marks in the room were also left by her.

It seems the other party, relying on their ambiguous appearance, disguised themselves as a female doctor and infiltrated Wen's stronghold. It is unknown whether they have shared a bed with Old Master Wen. If so, their identity would surely be exposed, after all, some things cannot be altered by disguise techniques.

Ripple confirmed that Hong Ling'er hadn't told the other party about her existence, which was enough. She didn't want to be too exposed in front of her companions. This was also the reason why she ultimately decided to secretly follow Hong Ling'er to see for herself.

Hong Ling'er didn't know that the man in front of her had marked every room. She thought he must have received news from Tianxia No. 1 Tower and contacted her specifically to cooperate with her in completing the mission.

While Butterfly was certain that this time, there would be someone from the top floor of Heaven's Ladder among the brides, and she couldn't find a way to confirm their identity, she was invited by the Young Master to the outer courtyard. So, she seized this opportunity and confirmed that the person sent in by Hidden Pavilion was Hong Ling'er.

Actually, he vaguely felt that Hua Lianyi looked more familiar, but the other party didn't appear. There were two possibilities: the other party wasn't from the World's No.1 Tower, so they didn't understand the mark he left behind. The other possibility was that the other party saw it, but chose not to show up.

Another day passed, and the head housemaid, Wen Ying, led a group of maidservants and young boys to escort Lianyi, Hong Ling'er, and Song Jia into the inner courtyard.

Why were only the three of them allowed into the inner courtyard

Someone immediately became unhappy.

Wen Ying calmly explained:

These three young ladies meet the standards for wives at the Weng's manor.

What are we missing

Someone broke the pot and asked, even if they were eliminated, at least they should know the reason.

"Your bodies are more or less damaged, which is unfavorable for having children."

Wen Ying finished speaking and didn't linger. She turned around, leading the people into the inner courtyard.

"This"

"Can we be blamed for this"

"That's right! That crazy woman came to Wenjiabao, we were just caught in the crossfire!"

That's it!

Wen Ruan, seeing the expressions of discontent on the remaining people's faces, stepped forward and said:

"Please remain calm, everyone. Although the injuries you sustained are not directly caused by the Wujia Fort, you have been indirectly affected."

Therefore, the Wen family will compensate you all and provide a generous dowry. Once you leave the Wen residence, you ladies can still find suitable husbands to marry.istress as she rests."Ziyān also said coldly.Tang Huirong still wanted to pester, but at this time, Su Guanta walked in with a doctor. He ignored the people around him and said to Lian Yi:"Miss, Docto...
