Chapter 348: His Daughter Wins His Heart
After putting the bait out, it takes a certain amount of time to wait for the fish to take the bait.
Before that, Wei Ruo still had his own things to be busy with.
Although Zhuangzi and the shop had nanny Yu in charge and they helped, it seemed that Wei Ruo didn't need to worry about it, but there were still some things that Wei Ruo needed to make up his own mind.
Cuiping stood outside the door: "Miss, the master has returned home today. He is in the study room in the front yard. He asked the slave to come and invite the miss."
Wei Ruo put down the brush in his hand, paused, and replied: "You can wait a moment. Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
Wei Ruo put the account books away and asked Xiumei to get the jar of thyme.
Xiumei came back with thyme and asked: "Miss, what will happen if the master is looking for you today?" "I am
afraid that he came back today because of the incident where the food delivery team was attacked on the way. As for why he came to find me, I should wait. Got it." Wei Ruo guessed.
Xiumei nodded.
Wei Ruo took Xiumei and Cuiping to Wei Mingting's study in the front yard.
In the study, Wei Mingting sat in front of the desk, flipping through something with a solemn expression. Yun stood beside him, grinding for him.
After Wei Ruo came in, Wei Mingting stopped what he was doing.
Seeing Xiumei behind Wei Ruo holding a wine jar in her hand, Wei Mingting said: "Ruo'er's kindness is appreciated by my father, but today is not a suitable time for drinking." Wei Mingting
is a very principled person and only touches wine when he can relax. Wine, now that something happened in the military camp, he was determined not to drink in such an incident.
"This wine is what I promised my father before. I'll bring it back today." Wei Ruodao.
"Let's leave it alone for now." Wei Mingting said, "I asked you to come today because there are some things I want to hear your opinion on." "What my
father wants to ask must be about things in the military camp. It's just about things in the military camp, my daughter." I don’t understand why my father thought of asking me for my opinion?” Wei Ruo asked.
Hearing this, Wei Mingting was a little surprised and a little relieved: "If you are really smart, your father didn't say what it was, so you already guessed it." "Nothing can make father so
worried than the things in the military camp, not to mention that according to common sense "My father should be in the military camp now. Coming back now must mean that something happened in the military camp, and it's not a big deal." "
You're absolutely right. Something did happen in the military camp, and it's very troublesome for my father. Why? Father doesn't know why he wants to ask you, but he vaguely feels that perhaps Ruo'er's intelligence can give him a different perspective as a father. Ruo'er, you don't need to be nervous, you just need to express your opinion, is it right? It doesn't matter, we are just chatting at home, no matter whether it is right or wrong." Wei Mingting said.
"Father, please speak." Wei Ruo also wanted to hear Wei Mingting's views on the attack on the food delivery team.
"The last time we fought with Japanese pirates, my father led a group of troops to make a flanking attack. However, they were attacked by Japanese pirates halfway through the journey. My father and his party were caught off guard and almost died." Wei Mingting talked about the last time he was injured. Serious injuries.
Wei Ruo only knew that Wei Mingting almost died in the last battle, but he didn't know that there was such a hidden secret.
Mrs. Yun on the side had a look of surprise on her face when she heard this. Her husband had never mentioned this to her before.
Wei Mingting continued: "Originally, my father only thought that that time was an accident, but something happened recently. The military camp finally found a supply of grain and grass. Because it was transported within the city, my father thought it should be foolproof, but he didn't want to transport grain and grass. Our team was ambushed midway."
"Does father have someone to suspect?" Wei Ruo went straight to the point.
Wei Mingting's eyes showed joy. His daughter was really smart and she understood what he meant immediately.
"No." Wei Mingting said, "What I am worried about is how to find this person. If this person is not eliminated, the next battle between our army and the Japanese pirates will be very difficult, and I don't know how many soldiers will die as a result. "
Father can discuss this matter with the Seventh Prince." Wei Ruodao.
"Ruoer thinks that as a father, he should go to the seventh prince?" Wei Mingting was a little surprised. Wei Ruo nodded: "In the military camp, who has the least suspicion, apart from my father, it is the seventh prince."
Although Wei Ruo doesn't like Chu Lan, he cannot deny that Chu Lan is the most likely to be innocent among them. .
Regardless of considering Chu Lan's identity and interests, or based on the description in the original work, Chu Lan is unlikely to be the person who did this.
"Father, I remember Ruo'er said last time that our family should not have too much contact with the Seventh Prince." Wei Mingting added.
"It is indeed not appropriate to have too much contact with the Seventh Prince, and it is not appropriate to get involved in court disputes, but this matter is different. My father and the Seventh Prince are in the military camp together. There is a mole in the military camp. You should work together to eradicate the mole. It doesn't matter which side you take. There are disputes in the imperial court." Wei Ruo explained.
Wei Mingting stared at Wei Ruo, and the fog in his heart dispersed a little with Wei Ruo's remarks.
"Ruo'er's words make sense." Wei Mingting agreed with Wei Ruo's judgment, "As a father, you really shouldn't be too obsessed with maintaining boundaries with the seventh prince. You should have special responses to special events." Wei Ruo thought for a while
, Asked Wei Mingting: "Father, do many people know about the arrangements for the flank raid that you led that day?" "
Not many."
"Who are the main people?"
"Only people above the general level know. After discussion, I will lead the team. We set off, but the people below didn't know about it."
After Wei Mingting finished his answer, he saw Wei Ruo's brows furrowed and asked, "What did Ruo'er think of?"
"Not yet." Wei Ruo did not elaborate.
She has already made the relevant rounds, and the answer will be revealed after the fish takes the bait.
"Okay, father knows. Ruo'er should go back first, and father will think about it carefully." "
Daughter, please leave."
Wei Ruo left the study, and then Yun asked Wei Mingting: "Husband, is there really a spy in the military camp? Then Aren't you in danger?"
"Don't worry now. I will take care of this matter. You take care of your family." Wei Mingting warned.
"Yes, I know." Yun knew that she could do nothing else but take care of the house so that her husband would not have any worries.
At this moment, Mrs. Yun was somewhat fortunate that her eldest daughter was smart and could help her husband solve his problems on her behalf.
###
Noon the next day.
At Fan Chengxu's invitation, Wei Ruo and Xiumei dressed up in men's clothing and went out to Zuixianju.
Fan Chengxu has approached Xu Heyou more than once recently, but Wei Ruo has been really busy lately, so he kept pushing and pushing until he had some free time today.
After Wei Ruo entered the box, he found that in addition to Fan Chengxu, there was an unknown young man in the room.
"Boss Fan, is there a guest? It seems I came at the wrong time." Wei Ruodao.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Fan Chengxu was overjoyed and said, "No, no, brother He You, you came just in time!"
Qi Zhen glanced at Wei Ruo and asked with a smile, "Is this Mr. Xu He You, the son that Brother Fan has longed for?"
