Chapter 353 Hiding to Save People

Chapter 353 Hiding to Save People

Zhuang Wei took the letter for help and brushed Yong Chang away.

"I understand. Please withdraw."

Yong Chang responded and left, closing the door.

Qiu Bi didn't understand what was going on and looked at Zhuang Wei.

"Why would my Qiu family parents ask you for help?"

"Do you know them?"

Zhuang Wei sat on a wooden chair beside the coffee table and motioned Qiu Bi to sit down.

"Yes, we have known each other for many years."

Qiu Bi sat on the wooden chair on the other side of the coffee table, stunned.

"what?"

"How did you get to know them?"

Zhuang Wei opened the envelope and replied while reading it.

"When we met when we were young, I looked into your background and learned that your family had no means of livelihood and relied entirely on you for support. The older you got, the more money they asked for. I was afraid that you couldn't afford it, so I took the initiative to get to know them, bought a house and a pavilion for them, and sent them enough money every month."

"Those princes and princesses have been persistent for years, and they are determined to find you. Therefore, I cannot meet them in person, and can only find a substitute to visit Wutongxuan on my behalf every once in a while. It is not until you return to Gao Mansion and I am promoted to the position of Minister of Copper Affairs that I can reveal my identity and officially meet them."

When Qiu Bi heard it for the first time, she covered her lips in astonishment and was extremely shocked.

"No wonder they never asked me for money later. I thought they had changed their minds, but I never thought it was you who secretly helped them!"

At this moment, Qiu Bi couldn't help but think of what Lin Mu said again. Her pupils were trembling and her palms were covered with cold sweat.

"Master Zhuang, why are you so nice to me?"

Zhuang Wei answered firmly without hesitation.

"Of course I want to repay you for saving my life. In the alleys, if you hadn't stood up for me, I would have died."

He pretended to have finished reading the letter, and inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced at her. As if he realized that her expression was not right, he was slightly stunned and pretended to be confused.

"Why do you look so horrified?"

"Are you feeling guilty? Master Gao, you don't have to care about these little things. Friends should stick together through thick and thin. If you are polite to me and I am polite to you, it will only make us more distant."

Qiu Bi lowered her eyes slightly and put away her surprised expression.

"I only helped a little that day, how can it be called a life-saving grace?"

There was sincerity in her eyes, and I was deeply moved.

"Master Zhuang, thank you for taking care of my parents silently. I will definitely repay you for your kindness and will never forget it."

Zhuang Wei smiled helplessly.

"Look at you, you're still so polite."

Qiu Bi took the initiative to change the subject.

"Why are my parents asking for help? Could it be that they are short of money again?"

Zhuang Wei shook his head and handed over the letter.

"No."

He sighed, revealing his worry.

"Master Feng, the Minister of the Secret Affairs, has tied them up with the intention of harming them!"

Qiu Bi was horrified.

"what?!"

She took the letter, recognized her father's handwriting at a glance, and read it with a frown, feeling worried and angry.

"Feng Yihe never tires of doing this. Why did he kidnap my father and mother?"

It was obvious at a glance that Zhuang Wei was troubled.

"It seems that Lord Feng still has doubts and has not fallen into the trap. She did this to test the authenticity of the marriage consummation and confirm whether this move is intended to delay the marriage. Once she finds out, she will inevitably think of another plan to murder the prince, and the Dijin Palace will face a disaster!"

Qiu Bi didn't quite understand and asked in a confused manner.

"Since it's just a test, just ignore it. If she doesn't see us coming to rescue her, she will naturally believe it. In this way, we can let them go, right?"

Zhuang Wei talks big and acts very serious.

"When has Lord Feng ever acted just to bluff and scare people?"

"Mr. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu are just common people. If she kills them, she has plenty of ways to get away with it. If no one comes to rescue them tonight, Mr. Qiu and his wife will never see the sunrise tomorrow!"

Qiu Bi made a decision immediately and stood up to leave.

"I'll go find the princess and find a solution."

Zhuang Wei stopped her in time, pretending to be unconscious and grabbed her wrist.

"You've been going back and forth, making a big fuss. Isn't that exposing your true colors?"

Qiu Bi was startled and pulled away hastily.

"Then...what should we do?"

Zhuang Wei was also startled and quickly let go.

"Feel sorry……"

When he was confused, he suddenly remembered that he was from the Fang clan, so Qiu Bi made a suggestion.

"Can you please give me some advice, Master Zhuang?"

Zhuang Wei responded calmly and seriously.

"okay."

He tapped the coffee table with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and soon came up with an answer.

"I'll take you with me and go to the rescue in secret. I guarantee that we won't alert the enemy and we can also save Mr. Qiu and his wife. Is that okay?"

Qiu Bi agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you, Master Zhuang."

There was a flash of triumph in Zhuang Wei's eyes, but it was fleeting and hard to catch. He quickly calmed down and whispered instructions patiently.

"Then remember not to make it public. Not only do we need to hide it from the Emperor's men, but we also need to cleverly avoid Lord Feng's spies."

Qiu Bi took it seriously and nodded solemnly.

"Well, everything will be arranged by Master Zhuang."

Zhuang Wei waved gently to indicate the direction.

"Come with me."

Zhuang Wei guided Qiu Bi, and under the pretext of temporarily hiding, he moved to several inns, making sure to avoid all eyes, and finally came to a remote and deserted inn, as if he had already left Shengjing.

Thinking that it was just a temporary hiding place, Qiu Bi was caught off guard and followed him into a guest room.

This room is very different from the previous ones.

The red candles flicker, and the light and shadow are set off by the green bed curtains; the red wood screen is finely carved with embroidery of wild geese and clouds.

There are two wedding quilts, one red and one green, facing the head of the bed. On the hangers on both sides, there is a green jade leaf and a red feather. The bride's dress is a flying phoenix, and the groom's dress is a flying phoenix. The beauty of the phoenix and the phoenix singing in harmony is particularly dazzling.

Qiu Bi looked around, confused.

"This……"

As soon as they entered the room, a waiter closed and locked the door.

Qiu Bi noticed it at the first moment and ran to stop them, but unexpectedly, her wrist was strangled by Zhuang Wei again.

This time, he used more strength and showed no mercy.

Qiu Bi endured the pain, without any suspicion, but just gave an urgent reminder.

"Master Zhuang, what are you doing? He has bad intentions and is obviously trying to trap us in the room!"

Zhuang Wei's disguise fell off, he smiled charmingly, and left with the kiss.

"Tell me, what am I doing?"

Qiu Bi's heart was shocked and she immediately dodged his frivolous behavior, but her hands were too weak to break free from his restraints.

"You...you really do to me..."

Seeing that she was reluctant, Zhuang Wei didn't care and kissed her again.

"Yes, I do admire you. You've seen it a long time ago, but you were too shy to say it, so you took advantage of me and followed me, didn't you?"

Qiu Bi was horrified and dodged again.

"no!"

"Master Zhuang, you misunderstood. I only have Master Lin in my heart and have never admired you!"

A hint of disdain appeared on Zhuang Wei's lips.

"Do you think pretending to be demure is fun in my opinion?"

Qiu Bi put away her panic, put on a serious face, and met his eyes.

"I'm not pretending to be demure!"

"Master Zhuang, you really misunderstood. Let's treat this night as a farce. After we go back, we will forget everything, okay?"

Zhuang Wei laughed faintly, his mood was light.

"Farce? Forget? Hehehe..."

His hands loosened a little, and before she could try to escape, he suddenly pushed her to the corner of the wall with force, and spread his arms, leaving her nowhere to escape.

"In this farce, I am the husband and you are the wife. From tonight on, you can try to see if you can forget everything?!"
