Chapter 372 He Chaogui's Conspiracy
"Okay, I've got that in mind. Thank you, Brother Yan. You can go back to your work!" Shen Wanning waved and said goodbye to him.
"Is that Yan Hui?" asked He Chaogui, who had just come down from upstairs.
A servant at the side stepped forward and replied flatteringly, "My lord, it looks like it's indeed Prince Yan. The lady next to him seems to be the one you met yesterday. They look like they're having a very happy chat."
He Chaogui narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure this young lady hasn't had any contact with anyone since arriving in the capital? Did she come to the capital alone? Not to look for relatives?"
The servant shook his head. "I haven't heard of anyone this young lady is looking for. Aside from seeing her talking with Prince Yan today, I haven't seen her in contact with anyone else. And from what I've heard, this young lady is from Fuzhou."
He Chaogui touched his chin. "So, do you think she's Yan Hui's mistress, someone he doesn't dare let anyone know about? Otherwise, when have you ever seen him invite a woman to dinner?"
"My lord, you are very smart. From my humble opinion, this is not impossible."
"Hehe, I don't know what's wrong with this guy. Ever since he came back from Fuzhou, he has been picking on me. This time, I will not miss such a good opportunity to teach him a lesson." He Chaogui smiled sinisterly, and he had an idea in his mind.
"Young Master, do you mean to inform the old Loyal and Brave Marquis about Prince Yan's mistress?" the servant said boldly.
He Chaogui put away his fan and knocked him on the head. "You are so stupid, how could my father send you to me? He is so old and still unmarried. If I tell the old loyal and brave marquis, maybe he will be so happy that he will take this young lady back to his palace!"
"I am foolish, what does the young master mean..."
"You know, if I slept with his concubine, would Yan Hui be so angry that he would jump to his feet, but he wouldn't be able to do anything to me? Hahahaha." When He Chaogui thought of this, he laughed as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
"Sir, that's a good plan, a good plan! But are we just going to take her back like that? In broad daylight, this... isn't a good idea!"
"I said you are stupid, and you really are stupid! Can't you find a few more people and wait for them to go to a deserted place before catching them?" He Chaogui angrily knocked the servant's head again.
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." The servant touched his head and went downstairs to find someone.
However, Shen Wanning and the others were unaware of this and continued to wander around the capital.
Baizhi and Baiying were sent to Daqing Village right after they entered the palace. They had never been to the capital before, so they were very excited when they went there.
"My lord, I just heard an aunt on the road say that there is a place selling pot stickers in the alley, which are particularly delicious. Would you like to try it?" Bai Ying asked.
Seeing Bai Ying's expectant look, Shen Wanning didn't want to spoil her fun, so she nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look. You guys have been waiting on the side at the restaurant just now and haven't eaten anything. If it tastes good, you can eat more."
When a few people walked into the alley, they smelled a fragrance from a distance.
"It smells so good! I knew that people in the capital are the best at eating. They can even find me from such a far place." Bai Ying took a few breaths and said.
Aunt Gui didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Arriving at the pot sticker place, several people sat down and ordered a few bowls of pot stickers. Even Shen Wanning was mesmerized by the aroma and ordered a bowl of pot stickers as well.
"Yes, the pot stickers here taste really good. Next time I'll bring Bai Wei and Bai Su to try it." Shen Wanning nodded and praised.
"Good wine needs no bush. This pot sticker shop is so remote, but there are still no seats inside. It's enough to prove that the pot stickers here are really good." Aunt Gui followed up.
After eating and drinking their fill, they left the alley.
Just as they turned into another alley, several masked men suddenly appeared behind them and covered their mouths with towels soaked in sleeping pills.
Baizhi reacted the fastest. Just as she was about to shout, someone covered her mouth and she fainted on the ground.
"Brother, what should we do with these people?" Those people kicked Aunt Gui, Bai Ying and Bai Zhi who were lying on the ground.
"The young master only said he wanted this young lady, so we just take this young lady away, and the others can stay here! It's just right, when they find out their young lady is missing, they will definitely go to find Yan Hui. What do you think will happen when Yan Hui finds out that his mistress has been defiled... hehehe." The man said with a sly grin.
"Big brother, what you said makes sense. I was originally planning to give them both a taste, but since they are still useful, I'll spare them this time!"
"Oh no, hurry up, someone is coming!"
Several people immediately helped Shen Wanning leave.
As soon as they got out of the alley, several people took off the masks on their faces, stuffed Shen Wanning into the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and drove away quickly.
When Shen Wanning woke up, she was in a boudoir.
She was looking around when the maidservant beside her called out, "Wake up, wake up, the young lady is awake. I'll go get the young master."
Without waiting for Shen Wanning to ask any questions, she ran out.
As soon as she left, Shen Wanning immediately propped herself up and sat up. She felt completely exhausted, probably because she had been drugged.
She paid no attention and continued to survey the room.
Since she couldn't escape anyway, she might as well find out who was behind the scenes. She could wait for an opportunity and then use the tranquilizer gun to take out the person first.
Not long after, footsteps were heard at the door.
Shen Wanning looked towards the door.
"You woke up quite early, earlier than I expected." He Chaogui raised his eyebrows.
"Why did you arrest me? When will you let me go?" Shen Wanning asked directly.
"You don't even ask who I am? As for letting you go, I will let you go when the time comes."
Shen Wanning sneered, "Are you some important person? I need to know who you are."
"Oh, you don't want to ask, right? Then I have to tell you. I will never change my name, my surname, He Chaogui!"
He Chaogui? Sounds familiar. Then I think, where have I heard this name before?
Shen Wanning thought for a while before realizing that this man was County Magistrate He's half-brother, the son favored by his father.
"He Chaogui? The illegitimate son of the Earl of Yongning?" Shen Wanning muttered.
"What bastard son? This young master will soon be the prince of the Yongning Earl!" When He Chaogui heard the word bastard son, he was about to explode with pride.
"What are you yelling about? Isn't it a fact that you are a bastard? As far as I know, your brother He Chaoyang is going back to Beijing soon, right? Do you think you can still become the prince? You're dreaming!" Shen Wanning said sarcastically.
