Chapter 1302: Untitled

While Chaoge was still feeling bewildered, Feng Wu rose to her feet and headed for the door.

“Xiao Wu?” Chaoge was confused.

Feng Wu said, “Wait here. I’ll be back when I’m done.”

What did she mean by “when I’m done”? As curious as Chaoge was, she had always followed Feng Wu’s instructions unconditionally. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you here. But how are you going to get out? I’m sure that old man and Zuo Qingyu have someone watching us.”

Feng Wu smiled. “I think it’s about time.”

“What time?” Chaoge scratched her head.

They were facing the same problem, but Feng Wu’s words confused her once again, like they always did.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock at the door.

Feng Wu opened it.

A young maid of 15 or 16 stood outside. There was a mean look on her face, and she stared at Feng Wu with eyes filled with animosity.

Thump!

She carelessly put down two bowls of water and two steamed buns as hard as rock on the ground.

The buns rolled over the ground and got covered in dust, and most of the water in the two bowls was spilt.

The maid had obviously been paid off by Zuo Qingyu. She threw a dirty look at Feng Wu and was ready to leave.

Feng Wu asked indifferently, “How much did Zuo Qingyu pay you? I’ll double it.”

“Heh.” The maid smirked. “Seriously? Are you trying to compete with Miss Zuo?”

Feng Wu opened her palm and showed the maid a shiny silver ingot. “Tell me your name, and this is yours.”

The maid gave Feng Wu a suspicious look, but Feng Wu only smiled at her.

That ingot was worth a small fortune, and the maid was tempted. She didn’t think that giving her name was too big a deal.

“I’m Hongyue!” Snatching the silver out of Feng Wu’s hand, the maid turned to leave.

However, she then heard someone speaking quietly.

“So, Miss Hongyue, it’s time you got some rest.”

Before Hongyue knew it, Feng Wu hit her in the neck with the side of her palm!

Thump!

Hongyue collapsed to the ground.

Chaoge looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment. “Xiao Wu, you —”

Feng Wu smiled, picked Hongyue up, and gave Chaoge a meaningful look. “I’ll dress up like her and walk out of here.”

Chaoge immediately saw the light!

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

With Chaoge’s help, Feng Wu soon changed into Hongyue’s clothes and left the room with the tray.

In the courtyard where Zuo Qingyu was staying.

She should have gone back to town already, but since Feng Wu was here, she had decided to stay behind.

Ruyi, her chambermaid, quickly walked up to her and whispered in her ear, “Miss, I’ve had the water and steamed buns sent to them.”

The Rong manor wasn’t some crude coal mine, and they would never mistreat visitors like this. Zuo Qingyu had sent the water and steamed buns just to humiliate Feng Wu.

“Did they eat them?” Zuo Qingyu was gloating.

Ruyi nodded with a smile. “They have to, if they don’t want to starve to death. Plus…”

She giggled. “I added something in both the water and the steamed buns. They’ll be busy running back and forth between that shed and the toilet tonight.”

Zuo Qingyu looked very pleased. Since Feng Wu was challenging the Zuo family, she decided that Feng Wu had to disappear.

While she was thinking that Feng Wu had walked into her trap, Feng Wu was in fact running swiftly through the Rong manor!
