First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 488 She Used It to Support Her Little Gigolo

The note contained four words: The truth about the cause of the disease.

Lady Wu's heart suddenly trembled.

Her legitimate son liked to flirt with other women, so after he got this disease, she didn't dare to make it public. She just asked her son where he got the disease from and dealt with all the maids who served him.

But even her son couldn't explain where he got this problem.

This is why even if Lady Wu was angry, she could not attack others.

After all, it was impossible for her to look for him in every brothel in the capital.

She had to swallow this anger even if she couldn't.

However, when the Duke of Wu asked for the title of Crown Prince for his concubine's son last year, she suspected that her son was framed for having this disease.

After all, her son had this undisclosed illness, and the ones who were most proud were her aunt and her illegitimate son. Moreover, her son was not yet dead, but the Duke could not wait to ask for the title of Crown Prince for his illegitimate son, and even forced her to take the child into his family.

Even if she was unwilling at that time, her son's condition was under the control of the Duke, so she could only swallow her anger.

Now that her son has recovered from his illness, she will fight for the position of Crown Prince for her son no matter what.

Now that she saw the account book, she immediately asked the maid beside her to send everyone away, and she sat there and looked at the account book carefully.

You don't know until you see it. Once she saw it, she understood why the person who gave her the account book left the words "the truth about the cause of the illness".

The account book clearly recorded how her son was taken to Jingshui Yaju since the beginning of last year, and in whose room he stayed the most. That bitch named Xiao Cuiling was the source of her son's illness!

Because the back of this account book also records the information that Jingshui Yaju hired someone to treat Xiao Cuiling.

"Go get this doctor for me!" Lady Wu, who had no time to bother with her makeup, simply pointed at the name in the book and said to her trusted nanny. "I want to see him right away!"

She wanted to ask in person what the condition of little Cui Ling was and what her current situation was.

Madam Wu looked at the account book with gnashing teeth. If she found out someone had framed her son, she would definitely turn the Duke's Mansion upside down!

Even if her son couldn't get the position of crown prince back, she couldn't let that bitch's son occupy this position!

"My Lord." Wei Feng hurried into the garden and saw his Lord sitting on a round stool under the grape vines, peeling grapes for his wife.

"Wei Feng is here?" Seeing Wei Feng coming in, Su Jixiang waved, put down the account book in his hand, and said with a smile, "Come and have some grapes. Your Lordship just picked them ripe from the vines. They are sour and sweet and delicious."

Wei Feng smiled and bowed, "Greetings, Madam." Then he unceremoniously picked two grapes from the plate in front of Su Jixiang and ate them.

"Has the fish taken the bait?" Wei Ling asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Wei Feng nodded. "The people who were sent to monitor the Duke Wu's mansion followed the Duke Wu's wife out of the mansion and went to see the doctor who treated Jingshui Yaju."

"As long as she's willing to take the bait, it's good that we gave her such a big gift." Wei Ling said with a smile. "You can get back to your work."

"Yes." Wei Feng said with a smile.

"Take this and share it among everyone." Su Jixiang pointed to another basket of freshly picked grapes and said with a smile, "They haven't been washed yet. Wash them before you eat them."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Wei Feng saluted, bent down and picked up the basket, "Oh, by the way, ma'am, you asked me to find someone to keep an eye on Nangong Rui and Zhao Xiuwan. These are their activities today." After saying that, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Su Jixiang.

"Well. You've worked hard. Keep watching them." Su Jixiang asked Wei Feng to put down the booklet and said with a smile.

Wei Feng bowed and left with the grapes.

Wei Ling then gathered up the long hair that was scattered on her shoulders, opened the booklet that Wei Feng had brought from the table, and began to read.

"Zhao Xiuwan has quite a bit of money." Wei Ling couldn't help but sneer after seeing this. "Qian Feng is such a fool. He only knows how to give money to Zhao Xiuwan, but never asks her where the money goes. Look, they're using it to support their gigolo! They even bought a small house in the capital!"

Bought a house? That's a lot of money. You know, everything is expensive in Beijing. It seems that Zhao Xiuwan brought all the money she got from Qian Feng to Beijing. They are not planning to go back!

"It turns out this pretty boy is your subordinate." Su Jixiang couldn't help but poke Wei Ling.

"If I had known he would become like this, I would have ignored him back at the quarry!" Wei Ling said with disdain.

"Okay, don't be angry. People choose their own paths. Everyone has to pay the price for the path they choose." Su Jixiang said, "Zhao Xiuwan hasn't divorced Qian Feng yet, right? Our marriage was granted by His Majesty. If there is a divorce, you and Xie Yingfeng should know."

"Recently, the information coming from Mangcheng is all about military affairs and important information. When we left, Qian Feng was still resting, so he probably hasn't divorced yet! I'll write a letter to Qu Chenxing and ask him later. He is in charge of the entire Mangcheng now. If Qian Feng wants to divorce, he will have to stamp it." Wei Ling said.

"There's no rush for his matter for now, or you can just tell Qian Feng when you saw Nangong Rui and Zhao Xiuwan here." Su Jixiang said.

"That's a solution!" Wei Ling calculated the time. "Although Qian Feng has been beaten with many military sticks, it has been several months since we left Mangcheng, enough time for him to recover! I will pass this news back and let him make his own decision. If he wants to divorce Zhao Xiuwan, we might as well take this opportunity to resolve it once and for all."

"Yeah." Su Jixiang nodded. "After all, it's his family affair. It's not good for us to interfere too much. Let him solve it himself!"

Wei Ling rolled up his sleeves, took the pen and ink used by Su Jixiang, and immediately wrote a letter. Then he called someone to send it to Mangcheng at an express speed of 800 miles.

"Eight hundred miles in a hurry? Catching up with military intelligence!" Su Jixiang was amazed. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk. You're really anxious!"

"Don't delay this kind of thing. If you keep delaying it, what if the kid gets dragged out? How do you think we're going to settle this mess?" Wei Ling said confidently.

"By the way. I want to ask you, why did you go to Jingshui Yaju to steal the account book and give it to the wife of Duke Wu?" Su Jixiang asked curiously, "Are you sure that Jingshui Yaju is the place where the eldest son of Duke Wu fell ill?"

"I've investigated this Jingshui Yaju before. The owner behind it is the brother-in-law of the Minister of Revenue," Wei Ling said. "I originally thought this was a place to collect evidence of officials' crimes, and the information would be reported to the Minister of Revenue. But later I found out that the brother-in-law of the Minister of Revenue is a fool. He is simply using this place to make money. However, you say he is stupid, but he is also a bit lucky. He has an older sister. His older sister married the Minister of Revenue as a concubine, and his younger sister became a concubine of the Duke of Wu, and is the mother of the current Duke of Wu's son."
