After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 285 Atonement Through Merit

Wu Weiwei stepped into the courtyard, her face cold and stern.

As she watched the graceful figure approach, Qingying's face showed surprise and doubt.

"You were just following me?"

"Hmph, who's following you? It's clearly your carelessness that led to Sisi Tao bumping into you without you even realizing it."

Lingfu said with dissatisfaction.

He could see the dissatisfaction in Lingfu's heart.

Qingying said unhappily, "Even if my whereabouts are discovered, what does it have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Wu Weiwei raised her eyebrows.

"I saved your life, and I don't want you to die for nothing, because that would make me look like a fool..."

Wu Weiwei said sharply.

indeed.

She went through all that trouble to save her, not so that she would risk her life. If Qingying was so willing to risk her life for the female lead, then why did she save her in the first place?

It would be better to just let her have her heart's blood ripped out.

Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Qingying was speechless.

Although she didn't agree with Wu Weiwei in her heart, she understood that Wu Weiwei had saved her.

Besides, she had also told Xiao Shitou not to force her to stay. Although she knew it was definitely Wu Weiwei's scheme, she did stay because of it.

But staying doesn't mean she's willing to do things for Wu Weiwei.

Although she said she didn't hate Shen Bazhi, she actually hated him to death in her heart.

She had loved him for so many years, always thinking of him and willingly risking her life for him, even shielding him from arrows.

But he actually used her, and easily abandoned her after realizing that she was an obstacle to his interests.

She is not reconciled.

"You want to take revenge on Shen Bazhi?"

Wu Weiwei could see the resentment in her heart and tentatively asked.

"No! You can't get anything out of me..."

Qingying did not completely let her guard down around Wu Weiwei.

What good is it that she saved him? In the end, wasn't it all just to use her?

How is this behavior any different from that of Shen Bazhi?

Seeing her displeasure, Wu Weiwei knew that she had not yet let go of her prejudice against her.

Fine!

Let's keep testing her.

After all, if you want to use someone, you have to wait until she is willing.

I use it reluctantly, afraid of hurting myself.

"Then take good care of yourself! If you need anything, just let Little Stone know. Don't go out during this time..."

"Why? Are you trying to put me under house arrest?"

Qingying refused to accept it.

"House confinement?"

Wu Weiwei chuckled.

"If I wanted to imprison you, why would I wait until now? I would have chosen not to save you when Consort Ji poisoned you back then!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qingying.

"You should know that He Yuyan's Hundred-Day Gu has reached its most critical moment. Ask yourself honestly, do you want her to die?"

Wu Weiwei's words left Qingying stunned.

Of course she does.

He Yuyan is the woman Shen Bazhi cares about.

Countless times, Shen Bazhi ruined the Black Hawk Gang's plans for her sake.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation now.

But if we're talking about the person who most wants He Yuyan dead, it's probably this cunning woman in front of us!

As far as she knew, she and He Yuyan were not only rivals in love, but also had an inescapable, life-or-death relationship. If He Yuyan died, she would be the biggest beneficiary.

"Don't try to fool me. You want to use me to kill He Yuyan? I'm not that stupid!"

"Ha ha……"

Wu Weiwei smiled.

"I do want He Yuyan dead, but you want her dead even more than I do, don't you?"

Wu Weiwei had long since realized that Qingying liked Shen Bazhi, otherwise she wouldn't still be staying with her.

Why?

She just wanted to get revenge on him, to satisfy her own resentment.

"Alright, I've said my piece. The decision is yours. After all, He Yuyan poses no threat to me anymore..."

After Wu Weiwei finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Shitou.

Little Stone understood, and then he lowered his head.

He failed in his duty and allowed Qingying to run away, so he deserves to be punished.

However, now that his employer is giving him a chance to redeem himself, he will definitely have high hopes for Qingying.

After leaving Yunwu Residence, Wu Weiwei wandered into another alley.

"Girl, where are we going?"

Lingfu was puzzled.

"You will know when you go."

The group arrived at a dilapidated house and saw a woman with her hair tied up in a bun and dressed in shabby clothes picking vegetables.

"Cousin, I've come to see you."

"Cousin, is it really you?"

The newcomer looked up in surprise.

Lingfu and Wanqiu, who were following behind Wu Weiwei, were surprised.

The master's cousin?

Why were they living in such a dilapidated little house, and why did they only find out now?

The woman named Dewdrop looked to be only in her early twenties. She went inside and brought out an old chair, saying somewhat awkwardly to Wu Weiwei, "Look, this place is such a mess. I didn't expect you to come..."

Seeing her looking at her with embarrassment, Wu Weiwei comforted her, "It's alright, I just came to visit, don't be shy."

Dewdrop is the daughter of the original body's aunt. Back then, she brought her younger brother to the capital, hoping to find her aunt to rely on. Unexpectedly, her aunt's family was right next door, but due to a change in circumstances, they moved away from their original residence and came to this slum.

That's how she and her brother were able to find them.

As for how she knew her cousin's whereabouts, it was Xiao Qingyu who told her before he left.

After all, he was very capable. In order to investigate his younger brother, he also investigated his father's relatives, which led him to his aunt's family.

However, her aunt and uncle had passed away, leaving her cousin alone.

My cousin, on the other hand, married a down-on-his-luck scholar because of bad luck. She supported the scholar's schooling by selling the house left by her aunt.

Unexpectedly, after passing the imperial examination, he abandoned her and married a wealthy new woman.

My cousin had no choice but to move here and make a living by making small items.

This would have been fine, but unfortunately, a spoiled brat here took a fancy to my cousin and kept forcing her to become his concubine.

My cousin refused, so the playboy instigated the landlord to keep raising the rent for the house, and it looked like he was about to be kicked out by the landlord.

It just so happened that she asked Sitao to come and inquire about the situation, and that's when they discovered that she wasn't actually doing very well.

After paying her rent in advance, Wu Weiwei wanted to help her out, but her cousin felt that she was not familiar with her and refused to accept the money Sitao sent.

"Cousin, has that guy surnamed Xiao come over again these days?"

Perhaps it was because of the good genes of the Wu family, but Lu Zhu had red lips and white teeth. If it weren't for her wearing a woman's hairstyle, she wouldn't look like a woman at all.

A beautiful divorced woman lived alone; no wonder that playboy bullied her cousin.

Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Bai Luzhu frowned slightly.

"I've been here once or twice, but I was scared away by your guards, cousin!"

"Guard?"

Upon hearing Lu Zhu mention the guards, Wu Weiwei looked at Si Tao.

"Cough cough..."

Sitao coughed and said awkwardly, "Miss, I was worried that Young Master Xiao would harass you again, so I asked Brother Chen to come and protect you..."

"That's it."

Wu Weiwei did not blame Sitao for taking matters into her own hands; on the contrary, she thought Sitao had done a good job.

When Wanqiu heard that her brother had been assigned to take care of her, her eyes flickered.
