Chapter 103 Lowering the Bottom Line
Wei Dongning was really tired and hungry.
Apart from the meal she had with Su Yizhuo today, she hadn't eaten anything else.
He then dragged me around for the entire afternoon.
They leave one store and go into the next.
There wasn't even a chance to sit down and rest.
This was even more tiring than the previous times she had taken Gu Peiyan shopping.
She never realized Su Yizhuo had this ability in her past life.
Now she just wants to experience being waited on hand and foot.
"Shall I carry you to the table?" Gu Peiyan said, walking to Wei Dongning's side.
Just as he was about to bend down, Wei Dongning stopped him, saying, "I'm not going to the table, I want to eat here."
She doesn't want to leave her warm bed for even a moment longer.
Even if Gu Peiyan hugs her, there's no room for discussion.
Hopefully, Gu Peiyan will give her that face.
Gu Peiyan froze in place.
Aside from the seriously ill, he had never seen anyone eat while sitting in bed.
Wei Dongning's idea really troubled him.
However, he hesitated for only a moment before giving in: "Okay, I'll bring the food over in a bit."
Gu Peiyan lifted Wei Dongning off the bed and helped her lean against the headboard, placing a cushion under her back to make her more comfortable: "Do you need to adjust anything?"
"Okay, I want to eat that eggplant, will you feed me?"
Wei Dongning didn't even bother to lift her hand, ignoring the bowl and chopsticks he offered, and instead pointed with her chin towards the eggplant.
As the saying goes: If you lower your bottom line by an inch, one day you will lower it by a foot.
Since we've already accepted that she eats while sitting on the bed, there's nothing unacceptable about feeding her.
Gu Peiyan served Wei Dongning, and whatever dish she pointed to would be brought to her lips the next moment.
At first, Wei Dongning would at least say what she wanted, but later she completely replaced it with her eyes and gestures.
Qianrong had never seen his young master so good-tempered.
I should have known that even if the young master had a high fever, I wouldn't have eaten sitting on the bed.
"Young Master is so good to Young Mistress," Qian Rong said enviously, peeking inside.
Xiao Fu was embroidering a sachet when she heard Qian Rong's words. Without even looking up, she said, "Envious? Then you should learn from me."
"Of course, I'll treat Baoxing the same way from now on. Hehehe."
After finishing her bowl of rice, Wei Dongning patted her stomach contentedly and let out a burp: "I'm not eating anymore, I'm going to lie down for a while."
"No, it's not good for your health to lie down right after eating. Can you wait a little while, until you've had a cup of tea, before lying down?"
Wei Dongning really wanted to explain to him that research shows lying down after eating does not affect digestion.
But considering he had just finished feeding her, she chose to remain silent.
Especially since he had only been feeding her and hadn't touched a bite himself.
She couldn't bear to argue with him: "Okay, can I lie down after you finish eating?"
"Okay." Gu Peiyan readily agreed, but deliberately slowed down her eating pace.
While Xiao Wu was still trying to understand complex human emotions, the alarm on Wei Xiuming's side started beeping incessantly.
Wei Dongning was leaning against the headboard, dozing off, when Xiao Wu's startled voice entered her mind: "Breaking news, Wen Yuzhu has arrived at the border!"
"So fast?"
Wei Dongning immediately perked up.
He propped himself up on the bed and waited for Xiao Wu's next message.
"Dr. Wen is already under your elder brother's control. As soon as Wen Yuzhu meets him, his men will arrest them."
"Where's the evidence? Have you found any evidence that they colluded with others? If not, arresting them won't help."
If they stubbornly refuse to admit it, it will ultimately be difficult to handle.
Xiao Wu calmly brought up another scene, showing Wei Xiuming's confidant finding correspondence in Wen Junyi's book box.
To avoid alerting them, he put them back in their original positions after checking them.
Wei Dongning wanted to put her nails in her mouth and bite them, but Gu Peiyan glared at her with narrowed eyes, so she put them down guiltily.
He kept fiddling with his two index fingers: "I'm curious about something. Why couldn't they destroy their correspondence after reading? Did they really think they wouldn't be discovered?"
Especially now that it's winter, every household burns charcoal.
After watching it, just throw it into the charcoal brazier; no one can save it then.
Now, it's like we've essentially exposed our weaknesses directly to the enemy.
Wei Dongning was almost laughing at the inexplicable stupidity of the brother and sister.
"Can you see who wrote the letter to them?"
"No, so one thing is certain: the Wen siblings' treason is a foregone conclusion."
Since it can only find information about Anguo, it can be concluded that the letter was not written by someone from Anguo.
Xiao Wu felt that his bug was somewhat useful.
"Keep a close eye on them, I want to see them arrested."
"It should be soon. Wen Yuzhu can't possibly go to the city without seeing her brother. We just need to wait patiently."
Gu Peiyan observed Wei Dongning while eating, and was startled to see her expression gradually become blank.
He put down the food he hadn't finished eating, sat down next to her, and waved his hand in front of her eyes twice.
Wei Dongning was brought back to her senses by his waving hand, and raised her hand to push him away: "Are you daydreaming? Hurry up and eat."
As Wen Yuzhu stepped through the city gate at the border, the hand holding the reins loosened, and she almost collapsed to the ground with weak legs.
Aside from eating and sleeping, she spent the last two days on horseback.
If it weren't for the ointment she always carried with her, her legs would probably be unusable by now.
He limped over to the clinic where Dr. Wen worked, and seeing Dr. Wen reading medical books, he called out in a trembling voice, "Father."
Upon hearing his sister's voice, Dr. Wen abruptly looked up: "Why are you back? Did you finish what I asked you to do?"
"It's all done." Wen Yuzhu poured herself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and then asked, "Wei Xiuming rushed back ahead of time, and I rushed back as soon as I found out."
"General Wei? He hasn't returned." Are you sure you're not mistaken?
“Impossible! He’s definitely back.” Wen Yuzhu said firmly.
Before Dr. Wen could ask her why she was so sure, the door was kicked open with great force.
Two rows of armored soldiers stood in two lines, with Wei Xiuming's deputy standing in the middle: "Medical Doctor Wen, busy? Oh, Miss Wen is here too. Perfect, let's go over there together, the general is waiting for you in the tent."
The military doctor glanced subconsciously at where the letters were kept: "The general is back? How come I didn't hear about it?"
"The general shouldn't need to report to Doctor Wen before he does things, right? Please, gentlemen."
Dr. Wen and Wen Yuzhu looked at each other in bewilderment.
But the people outside were all seasoned warriors, and they had no choice but to obediently follow along.
As they walked out, Dr. Wen approached Wen Yuzhu and whispered a reminder: "Act according to the situation and speak less."
The lieutenant chuckled inwardly upon hearing their words.
He gave the soldier standing at the door a wink.
