Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Very Satisfied with Her l
“I really didn’t know about this,” Wei Ruo replied, her voice and expression relatively calm.
“Miss Wei doesn’t seem very surprised.”
“My relationship with my sister isn’t very tight, and I don’t understand her temperament too well. Probably because I don’t know her and had no expectations, I’m not surprised,” Wei Ruo replied.
Having set the stage, Chu Lan finally got to the point: “Three days ago, the young master of the Qi family and the second young miss of the Wei family were taken captive during their secret meeting. The eldest son of the Wei family discovered it and disappeared while investigating the matter.”
That night, the underlings of the young master of the Qi Family located where the captives were being held. They managed to rescue the young master of the Qi family and the second young miss of the Wei family, but the eldest son of the Wei family was left behind.”
Chu Lan described the events very simply, glossing over all the details.
After hearing Chu Lan’s description, Wei Ruo understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Wei Qingwan, infatuated with love, had a secret rendezvous, but got involved in the struggle between the sixth and seventh princes.
Now she’s safe, but it has resulted in Wei Yichen being held captive.
The chronological events were clear, but there was one crucial factor Chu Lan hadn’t mentioned: who was the captor?
After much thought, Wei Ruo believed the most likely person could either be Chu Lan himself or someone associated with him.
First, very few people in Taizhou prefecture would have the guts and capability to kidnap the Qi family’s son.
Second, if Chu Lan wasn’t involved, why would he understand every detail of the incident so clearly? He even knew the minor detail that the Qi family’s servants only managed to rescue Qi Zhen and Wei Qingwan, leaving Wei Yichen behind.
However, Wei Ruo couldn’t confirm this with Chu Lan. If she asked and got a negative answer, she might not believe it. If she asked and got an affirmative answer, that would be problematic for herself. It wasn’t something a mere Wei family girl should know.
The matter concerned palace fights, impacted the struggle for the throne between the sixth and seventh prince. She was sure that the less she knew, the safer it was.
At this thought, Wei Ruo couldn’t help but curse Wei Qingwan in her heart. Why did her spring-time thoughts have to involve the entire Wei family in trouble?
Getting the Wei family involved in the struggle for the throne was involving her too, having the status as the Wei family’s legitimate eldest daughter, she could not avoid the troubles.
Wei Ruo did not wish for the Wei Family to reach great heights, but she could not let the Wei family be implicated too. If an extermination sentence was enacted on the family, even if she married and moved far away, she would have to go to her death too!

After thinking it through, Wei Ruo said to Chu Lan: “Thank you for informing me of the situation. I wonder where my elder brother is now and whether there is still time to rescue him?”
Upon hearing this, Chu Lan revealed a satisfied smile: “Although Miss Wei is a bit timid when facing me, her thoughts are clear and she remains calm in the face of changes. Admirable.”
“Your highness is too kind. At this time, it will do no good for me to panic. Only by remaining calm can I fight for a chance to save my elder brother,” Wei Ruo explained.
Chu Lan said, “The reason I chose to inform Miss Wei about the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Wei family is because I believe that you are more capable of handling this matter than others in the Duke Residence. Will you let me down?”
Wei Ruo was slightly stunned, then she understood Chu Lan’s intentions. According to her previous guess, the person behind the kidnapping was Chu
Lan or someone related to him. Therefore, there was no use for the kidnappers to keep Wei Yichen now.
However, releasing Wei Yichen was not that simple since the Wei family had already reported the case to the authorities, which might later alert the Anti-Japanese Army of Taizhou prefecture.
Although the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence was currently weak in power, Wei Mingting’s influence in the Anti-Japanese Army within Taizhou prefecture was not negligible. Wei Yichen’s disappearance could stir up waves within Taizhou prefecture.
Naturally, Chu Lan would not want the situation to escalate. So, he needed a proper way to handle the situation and she was the one he had chosen to help him wrap it up.
After figuring this out, Wei Ruo replied: “Thank you for your esteem, your Highness. However, the kidnappers are dangerous, once their identity is confirmed, I dare to ask your Highness to lend me some men to help with the rescue.”
Upon hearing Wei Ruo’s reply, a satisfied smile appeared on Chu Lan’s face again: “No problem, I will have people accompany you.”
Wei Ruo’s reply showed that she had understood Chu Lan’s intentions and the outcome he wanted.
Therefore, Chu Lan was satisfied with Wei Ruo.
Honestly, at first he really didn’t pay much attention to the eldest daughter of the Wei family. However, after several exchanges, he found that this woman possessed wisdom and restraint, traits not commonly found in ordinary girls.

After leaving the Yusheng Tea House, Wei Ruo returned to the Military Prefecture and called for all available bodies from the Military Prefecture.
“Ruoruo, what are you doing?” Madam Yun hurriedly asked.
“I have a clue about my elder brother’s whereabouts. Now I’m preparing to bring people to search for him,” Wei Ruo answered.
As Wei Ruo answered Madam Yun, her eyes fell on Wei Qingwan who stood next to Madam Yun.
As expected, Wei Ruo saw Wei Qingwan nervously purse her lips, then lowered her head even further, appearing a bit jittery.
Wei Ruo turned her gaze back to Madam Yun, “Is mother still considering it? freēnovelkiss.com
The situation is urgent.”
“No, no. If you have a clue then go and find him quickly! Take whoever you can from the residence! We must bring your older brother back safely!” Madam Yun said anxiously.
Right now, her only thought was to bring her son back safely – it didn’t matter who, as long as her son was brought back safe and sound!
At this time, Wei Yilin also ran over and grabbed Wei Ruo’s arm.
“I want to go with you!” Wei Yilin said resolutely.
Madam Yun was unable to hide her emotions and thus Wei Yilin was not fooled
Upon hearing the news of his older brother’s disappearance, he had been anxiously waiting for news in his Cangyun Garden.
He wanted to go out and search, but Madam Yun disagreed, making him feel helpless.
Wei Ruo looked down at Wei Yilin and didn’t respond immediately.
“Sis, take me with you!” Wei Yilin twisted his little eyebrows into a frown, his tone desperate and pleading.
“You must listen to me while we’re outside. No running around or acting on your own,” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Yilin nodded his head firmly: “I will listen to you as subordinates listen to Father!”
“Then let’s go.” Wei Ruo agreed to let Wei Yilin go with her.
Madam Yun did not object. Her younger son was much more obedient and sensible now, and his martial arts skills had improved considerably. He should be safe with his elder sister and escorted by the guards of the residence.
The only person who was anxious was Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingruo said she had information about her elder brother’s whereabouts, but she didn’t know if it was true.
Young Master Qi had said that the people who captured them were very powerful. The people of Taizhou Prefecture couldn’t handle them, so she told her not to worry about her elder brother being found..
