Chapter 179:

The Person Called Fei Xiaocai

"That person called Fei Xiaocai." Mourong Lingran then recounted in detail the things Fei Xiaocai had done for their family in the past.

Lady Wei, upon hearing this, abruptly stood up, shocked. "Is what you're saying true?"

"Lady, I have no reason to deceive you. With your capabilities, it's easy for you to verify her past. You can investigate, and everything will become clear."

Lady Wei nodded sternly. "You can go back for now. I will handle this matter properly. Steward, take her downstairs to sign the documents."

Mourong Lingran understood that this was a family matter, and it wasn't appropriate for them to stay. They obediently followed Steward Cao out.

After the siblings left, Lady Wei frowned. "Xu Mama, I remember that Fei Xiaocai wasn't selected us, right?"

Xu Mama nodded. "That's correct. The servant recalls that when Miss was shopping, she happened to encounter hooligans. Fei Xiaocai happened to save Miss, and since she got injured for her sake, Miss brought her back to the mansion for treatment."

"But who knew that after she recovered, even after being given silver, she didn't leave. She cried, claiming to be helpless and requested Miss to take her in. Miss, feeling soft-hearted, allowed her to stay in the courtyard as a maid responsible for cleaning."

"Last time when Miss went to visit Miss Mourong, one of the personal maids was sick. Fei Xiaocai was recommended, and Miss didn't think much about it, so she brought her along."

"At that time, she did seem surprised and harbored some resentment when she saw Miss Mourong. She even had a hint of hatred in her eyes."

Lady Wei said, "So, it is possible that the hooligan back then was working with her, was it a set-up to gain sympathy?"

Xu Mama solemnly replied, "Lady, you've forgotten. Young Master personally investigated it back then, and they just coincidentally encountered each other."

Lady Wei thought for a moment. It seemed there was such a thing. She then asked, "Has Fei Xiaocai done anything suspicious in Miss Mourong's courtyard?"

Xu Mama shook her head. "Not really. After she promised to stay, as you know, her background was unclear. Although the Miss owed a favor, according to the rules of the mansion, she still had to sign a contract as a maidservant."

"Even though she looked extremely unwilling at the time, she agreed. Recently, one of the maids in Miss's courtyard mentioned that she had inquired about how much money it would take to redeem herself and get back the maidservant contract."

Lady Wei sneered, "It seems her life here isn't to her liking. She feels that she hasn't enjoyed the treatment of Miss's benefactor and is thinking of leaving."

"Send someone to investigate her past at Imperial Physician Mourong's mansion. If what Lingran Miss said is true, someone with such a vengeful heart can't stay in the mansion."

"Considering her saving Miss's life, send her to a manor outside the city, have someone watch over her, and she's not allowed to set foot in the city again."

"Yes, Lady. I'll go and do that."

Xu Mama, accompanied by several people, went to search for Fei Xiaocai in Wei Yushan's courtyard, intending to apprehend her. However, she was informed that Fei Xiaocai had taken sick leave since yesterday and hadn't been seen for two days.

Xu Mama immediately realized something was wrong. She sought Lady Wei's approval and began dispatching people to look for Fei Xiaocai.

At this time, Mourong Lingran and her older brother were walking on the street.

***

Mourong Zong didn't expect that his sister's vegetables could sell for such a good price. In less than a morning, they earned one or two taels of silver.

Just now, they signed documents that would guarantee daily supply, which meant that the Wei family would provide at least thirty taels of income per month.
