Chapter 395: A Key

eing Li Wan'er's fearful expression and pleading look, Meng Jin yao didn't make things difficult for her. She handled official business as usual and said calmly, "Since Xiuming likes her, then wait un...Next, Gu Jingxi and Yu Chuan watched as Wei Dairen took off his clothes one by one, revealing a fair but plump body.

Yu Chuan, upon seeing this, felt he couldn't bear to look any longer. Especially when he saw Wei Da Ren's belly, he felt he didn't match well with his wife Wei Fu Ren who was as beautiful as a fairy. But then, thinking that both of them were crazy lunatics, he felt they were perfectly matched.

Gu Jingxi remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the object Wei Dairen wore around his neck. It was a key; although Gu Jingxi didn't know what door it unlocked, the fact that it was treasured so much and carried everywhere, even during baths, indicated its importance.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Yu Chuan, did you see the key hanging from his neck"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chuan's gaze shifted to Lord Wei's neck, and he indeed saw the key. He countered, "You see it So what"

Gu Jingxi ordered, "Find an opportunity and stealthily steal it back."

Stealing

Yuchuan suddenly looked at his master, as if surprised that such an upright gentleman would order him to steal things, especially someone else's keys.

Gu Jingxi met Yu Chuan's gaze. Master and servant looked at each other for a moment, then he said lightly: "We are respectable people, we definitely won't do anything sneaky like stealing. Go print a template and make an exact copy of the key."

Yuchuan fell silent.

Making a template for someone's house key and then making a key out of it is not something a normal person would do.

Enough, enough. He suddenly remembered how his master had once instructed him to use treats to befriend the dogs in other households, build relationships with them, and then leverage those connections to find clues.

And now, the master only allows him to secretly make a mold. What's that He isn't even being sent to flirt with Lord Wei! If he were sent to flirt with Lord Wei, that would be truly terrifying.

Yu Chuan replied, “My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely not disgrace my mission.”

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly: "Be careful when doing things, don't startle the snake."

After Wei's bath, he returned to his room and saw Mei Qingyun alone, sitting at her dressing table combing her hair. He strode forward and smiled, "My wife, there is no need to be so distraught. Gu Jingxi hasn't left yet, you still have a chance to see him again. However, I heard that he is very ill. A useless person is just useless, he is of no use in any way. Not only is he incompetent, but he can't even take care of his own body. He has a high fever on this hot day and is delirious."

Mei Qingyun's combing motion stopped abruptly. She suddenly turned her head to look at him, "What did you say He's sick"

"Wei sir's smile didn't fade: 'Indeed, he is ill. I will prepare to visit tomorrow. Would madam like to go with me' "

Mei Qingyun chuckled, "Would you be so kind"

"If Madam doesn't believe me, it's fine. Wei DaRen smiled nonchalantly and pinched her chin, continuing, "If Madam wants to follow her husband to visit Gu Jingxi tomorrow, then she should behave well tonight."

Hearing this, Mei Qingyun slapped her husband's hand away with a slap and snorted coldly. She would never do such a thing as flattering a man.

She refused, but Lord Wei couldn't let her refuse. He directly picked her up, ignoring her resistance, and walked towards the bed.

Mei Qingyun stared blankly at the canopy above her bed, lost in thought. Lord Wei's heart burned with anger as he tossed and turned restlessly. After finishing, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mei Qingyun, do you have any shame Being with me, you still think of him Open your eyes wide and look clearly, the one who enjoys fish and water with you now is Wei Heng, not that useless trash, Gu Jingxi!"

Mei Qingyun heard the sound and turned her head, a smirk playing on her lips. She taunted, "You're coming to visit him tomorrow, aren't you To see if he's really sick Wei Heng, it seems even you can be afraid sometimes."

Lord Wei's face changed, and he warned, "My wife, husband and wife are one. If anything were to happen to me, do you think you could escape unscathed You best pray that your old lover recovers quickly and returns to the capital as soon as possible."

"Don't you think I want to die with you" Mei Qingyun's eyes flashed with cruelty as she reached out and touched his neck, her voice chillingly cold. "Wei Heng, I feel like I'm tired of living."

When Wei heard this, his face grew even darker: "Watch your tongue, or I won't hesitate to become a widower right now."

Mei Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled, appearing indifferent as she said, "Then go ahead. It's best if you do it now. Don't give me another chance to speak, or you'll regret it."

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you"

When Wei finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed her neck, then tightened his grip. Watching as she struggled to breathe, yet offered no resistance, only staring at him with stillness, for a moment he truly wanted to kill her.

After letting go, Mei Qingyun laughed out loud, coughing and laughing at the same time. After catching her breath, she said, "Wei Heng, you are such a coward!"

Wei Da Ren let out a cold snort: "To simply let you die would be too easy on you. Death is simple, living in torment is difficult. Tomorrow I will take you to see your long-lost lover who never desired you."

Over there, Yu Chuan and Gu Jingxi were sitting on the rooftop, listening to their couple argue.

Gu Jingxi had heard Yu Chuan mention it before, but now that he was hearing it with his own ears, he couldn't help but feel upset. He and Yao were clearly a loving couple, and they weren't strangers to each other, so why bring him up

Since there was no point in listening any longer, Gu Jingxi left. Yu Chuan followed closely behind.

Leaving Mr. Wei's courtyard, Yu Chuan said, "Master Hou, I just heard the conversation between Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei. It seems that Mrs. Wei knows something. Tomorrow she and Mr. Wei will come to visit you. Perhaps you should let Madam have a chance to talk to Mrs. Wei and get some information Looking at Mrs. Wei now, she seems happy to see Mr. Wei in trouble.

Gu Jingxi vetoed: "Impossible."

Yu Chuan questioned, "Lord, is this a lack of trust in your wife's abilities"

Gu Jingxi replied, “I just don’t believe that Mrs. Wei would truly betray Mr. Wei. Don’t look at them bickering as a couple now, but husband and wife are one body. If something were to happen to Mr. Wei, she would suffer too. If we rashly try to extract information from her, we would startle the snake.”

Yu Chuan nodded after listening.

Gu Jingxi said, "Key, you find an opportunity to strike as soon as possible, make a mold, and make a key out of it. "

Yu Chuan was puzzled: "My lord, even if we make a duplicate key, we wouldn't know which lock it opens unless we see Master Wei using the key.

"

Gu Jingxi glanced at him with a faint look in his eyes: "Since you don't know which lock to open, just try every lock in the Wei residence. Casting a wide net always catches fish. If you don't cast a net, do you think the fish will jump into the pot by themselves"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chuan felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. He hurriedly flattered and said, “Lord Hou is brilliant.”

Gu Jingxi's voice was calm: "Stop flattering me, I don't buy it. You've been staring at Wei Heng for so long, haven't you noticed the key hanging from his neck"

Yu Chuan honestly shook his head, then felt he hadn't done a good job and hurriedly added: "My lord, I don't have the habit of peeking at others bathing. So when he was bathing, I didn't look. As long as the other party wasn't wearing clothes, it was like just now, only listening but not looking.

Gu Jingxi asked in a soft voice, "Are you implying that I have a habit of peeping at others bathing"

Yu Chuan hurriedly shook his head: "My lord is perceptive. I don't mean that. My lord has a keen eye, noticing things that ordinary people miss." eyes darted around, she didn't dare meet his gaze, ten out of ten she was guilty and hadn't told the truth.Gu Jingxi frowned slightly and asked again, "Madam, we are husband and wife. Is there anythi...
