Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1347 - 1345: The Sword Hanging Over Our Heads

Madam Wang learned that Wu Lihong had left the residence. She wanted to send someone to follow him, but then reconsidered and abandoned the idea.

Wu Guanyu woke up and caused quite a commotion. Madam Wang coaxed him patiently, got someone to give him medicine, and finally managed to put him back to sleep. She was drenched with sweat.

Remembering her beloved son’s fear and screams, Madam Wang’s heart felt as if it was being sawed apart with a blunt knife, and the bloodied pain was unbearable.

That vicious wretch, how could she have the heart to do it!

Madam Wang recalled the scene and couldn’t help but shudder, feeling disgusted and bitter-tasting in her mouth.

"Nanny Wei, Nanny Wei." She called out loudly.

Nanny Wei came running in from outside and curtsied: "Madam, you called for me."

"Get someone to bring me two slices of ginger to soothe my stomach, it’s so nauseous," Madam Wang instructed.

Nanny Wei acknowledged, went outside to instruct a little maid, and then returned indoors to attend to her.

Madam Wang suddenly thought of Wufu’s threat, and her heart jolted again, gripping the chair armrest, she called out: "Wet nurse."

"Yes, Madam."

Madam Wang gave her a glance towards the door, and Nanny Wei said: "Everyone’s busy, no one’s available."

Madam Wang then glared at her and lowered her voice, asking: "Back when Lu Xiaodie, did the person you found really handle it?"

Nanny Wei paused, replying: "Well, Madam, the other party has already received Silver to get it done!"

"Foolish! Didn’t they just take the Silver and fool around? Didn’t you confirm again?" Madam Wang gritted her teeth: "Back at Changqing Residence, do you know what that girl said to me?"

Nanny Wei felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, she heard Madam Wang say: "She said she saved a person named Lu Xiaodie."

Nanny Wei gasped, covering her mouth, eyes wide with fright.

"From the way she spoke, it seemed she knew the secret of the Thousand-Weave Embroidery. Tell me, how could it be such a coincidence?" Madam Wang said solemnly: "If she didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have refrained from reporting to the authorities today!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Madam, are you saying the other party knows about the Thousand-Weave Embroidery matter?" Nanny Wei asked, heart pounding.

"Better safe than sorry. That’s why I’m asking if that person handled it or not!" Madam Wang replied coolly.

Nanny Wei was somewhat alarmed, uncertain how to respond, she stammered: "Madam, even if she knows Lu Xiaodie, that girl wouldn’t know anything, or why else would she only come to the store to throw a tantrum?"

Madam Wang, restless in her heart, said: "I fear there’s something we overlooked. But regardless, this is a threat. I don’t care what method you use, find those two people for me, and ask them about Lu Xiaodie’s whereabouts. Then have someone bring Lu Xiaodie out."

Nanny Wei felt a touch of bitterness, saying: "Madam, it’s been so long since this happened, not sure if we can find anything, in such an immense sea of people..."

"So you’re not looking then?" Madam Wang shouted sharply, whispering: "As long as Lu Xiaodie is around, and still in that bastard’s hands, for us, it’s a sword hanging over our heads, ready to drop at any moment. Are you looking to die?"

Nanny Wei opened her mouth, feeling even more bitter.

"Just from today’s incident, that bastard and us are irreconcilable. Nanny Wei, you don’t want to miss your grandson’s wedding, or the good days of holding your great-grandson, do you?" Madam Wang glanced at her askew, saying: "You and I share in the glory and loss together."

Nanny Wei’s heart hopped, she lowered her head saying: "Madam, the old servant will arrange people to search."
