Chapter 41: Xu Wanning Seeks Baochuan

“If you don’t agree, then you’ll never know how Wei Bao died.” Seeing that they were occupying the place and refusing to leave, Wang Baochuan turned around and pulled Qingqing to leave.

Wang Yincuan spread out her hand to stop her, “Stop!”

“Wang Baochuan, don’t think that you can get away with anything just because Father is protecting you! Wei Hu doesn’t care about you, but I do!” Wang Yincuan cried, “You murderer! You killed Wei Bao and you don’t have any remorse at all!”

“Third Miss! Wei Bao had such deep feelings for you. How did he die? Who is the murderer?” Xue Qi also cried.

Wang Baochuan was trapped in the room, unable to advance or retreat.

“Want to know? Apologize to Qingqing.” Wang Baochuan insisted.

Wang Yincuan was furious and raised her hand to hit her. As soon as she reached out, Wang Baochuan grabbed her wrist tightly.

Wang Baochuan slapped her back, “Wake up! You’ve been getting stupider and stupider over the years!”

“You know what kind of person Wei Hu is. If I really killed him, do you think he would let me go?” Wang Baochuan leaned close to her, her breath almost touching her face.

“Wang Yincuan, do you want to know how your little uncle died?” Her voice was seductive.

Wang Yincuan was stunned by the slap, “What are you trying to say?”

Wang Baochuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I’ll tell you, it was Wei Bao who arranged for people to pretend to be kidnappers and kidnap me, drugged me, and tried to humiliate me, so he was killed.”

“Impossible!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Father.” Wang Baochuan’s lips curled up in a mocking smile. Her unfortunate second sister should wake up.

“I… I…” Wang Yincuan turned and walked out. How could she believe this? Wei Bao had always shown deep affection for Wang Baochuan. He often said that he was willing to die for her.

Xue Qi hadn’t heard their conversation. She grabbed Wang Baochuan’s sleeve tightly, “You know how he died?”

“Then why don’t you ask the Prime Minister to help him find the murderer?”

“Miss Xue?” Wang Baochuan shook her hand off in disgust, “You care so much about Wei Bao?”

Xue Qi subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, “Wei Bao was very kind to me. I can’t just watch him die without finding out the truth.”

Wang Baochuan patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry, Wei Bao died peacefully. But your brother, I don’t know.”

“My brother?” Xue Qi suddenly remembered that her brother hadn’t returned with the army this time.

“Where is my brother?” She was anxious.

“You’re worried now? Your brother led the vanguard camp to charge at the front, but he didn’t get reinforcements in time, so he was captured by Xiliang.”

“This…” Xue Qi was scared and sat down on the ground.

“Then he…”

“Do you know who didn’t go to meet him?” Wang Baochuan leaned down and looked down at her, “It was Wei Bao.”

“Impossible. Wei Bao told me before he left that he would help take care of my brother.” Xue Qi couldn’t believe it.

“Believe it or not.” Wang Baochuan kindly told her that Xue Pinggui was now in Xiliang and had caught the eye of the Xiliang princess. Also, her father’s death was also Wei Bao’s doing.

“Impossible! You’re lying! You’re a vicious woman. Second Brother is dead, and you’re still slandering him!”

Wang Baochuan watched them run away in despair, clapped her hands, and finally had some peace.

“Qingqing?” Wang Baochuan rubbed her face, “My second sister is unpredictable. Next time you see her coming, stay away from her, lest she hurt you.”

Qingqing didn’t take it to heart, “Miss, I’m afraid she’ll hurt you.”

Wang Baochuan twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist and asked thoughtfully, “When did you enter the mansion?”

“Half… half a year ago.”

As evening approached, the spring chill was biting.

She thought that she could finally get a good night’s sleep when it was quiet at night, but she had only just fallen asleep when she heard Xiaolian rushing in.

“Miss, Miss Xu… Lady Xue is at the gate asking to see you.”

“Xu Wanning?” Wang Baochuan was half asleep and suddenly woken up by her voice. Her mind couldn’t process it for a moment.

“Yes, she’s crying and making a fuss at the gate, wanting to see you. The steward said you were already asleep, but she insisted.” Xiaolian was a little embarrassed.

Although Xu Wanning had broken off ties with the Xu family, she was still the biological daughter of Censor Xu, and the guards at the gate couldn’t really drag her away.

“Tell her to go to the Wei Mansion and find Xue Qi. Tell her that Xue Qi knows where Xue Pinggui is.” Wang Baochuan turned over and casually instructed.

Xiaolian nodded and hurried to the gate.

Although Xue Qi had a crush on Xue Pinggui, if Xu Wanning went to ask about Xue Pinggui’s whereabouts, according to Xue Qi’s personality, she would still tell her the truth.
