Chapter 533 Whereabouts unknown
Wei Lichu glared at Shen Suian coldly. She knew very well that the Yi Lanxin who had caused a sensation was fake, but she couldn't argue with Shen Suian here.
My cousin said that if the Regent knew she was in Suzhou, he would definitely kill her.
And she couldn't go back to the royal capital. If she did, she would probably punish her.
In short, no one should be allowed to know Yi Lanxin's whereabouts.
"Travel permits can be forged at any time and cannot prove identity at all." Wei Lichu said coldly.
Shen Sui'an's smile deepened, "How can we prove it? Miss Wei, do you know Yi Lanxin?"
"I..." Wei Lichu bit her lip. Her relationship with Yi Lanxin was still a secret in Suzhou City. How could she say that she still had to call Yi Lanxin cousin?
"Take off your veil. I believe there must be someone here who knows Yi Lanxin. Let everyone see your true face and they will know." Wei Lichu said, pointing at the woman in the veil.
Madam Sun frowned and said, "Miss Wei, you are being a little unreasonable."
Wei Lichu's eyes turned red with anger.
Shen Sui'an laughed as if he was watching a child's farce and said, "If Miss Wei doesn't believe it, then just find evidence."
"I have never met Miss Wei before, and I don't know why she is making things difficult for me." The woman in the veil said calmly.
Wei Lichu took a deep breath and suppressed the strong anger in her chest.
"Okay, I'll wait for the day when you're exposed." She turned and walked away towards the carriage.
But when she got on the carriage, she didn't see Yi Lanxin.
Wei Lichu's face changed slightly, "Where is the maid who got off the car with me just now?"
The driver said, "Girl, after you got off the bus, no one came back."
"What?" Wei Lichu's pupils shrank.
Just now Yi Lanxin clearly said that she wanted to go back to the car and wait. She knew it was dangerous and there was no way she would run around.
Wei Lichu looked around, and figures passed by her one after another, but she didn't see any familiar figures.
"You guys, go and find...find my cousin."
The other three maids hurriedly looked for the person everywhere, but dared not make any noise. They looked in every store, but could not find the person they were looking for.
Wei Lichu also went to Linlang Pavilion, but still couldn't find it.
Her face looked extremely ugly, and she felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
"Miss Wei, why are you so flustered?" Shen Sui'an and Madam Sun returned to Linlang Pavilion and saw Wei Lichu with a worried look on her face outside the door.
Wei Lichu stared at Shen Suian. Her cousin disappeared. Was it related to Shen Suian?
Shen Suian looked back at Wei Lichu with a frank look and a smile.
"My maid is missing, I'm looking for her." Wei Lichu said coldly.
"Oh, but we need someone to help look for it." Shen Sui'an asked.
Madam Liu curled her lips and said, "Miss Wei, this maid of yours is no good. She actually wants the master to wait for her here. This kind of maid who doesn't work hard should be sold out as soon as possible to avoid making bigger mistakes in the future."
Wei Lichu curled her lips and said, "Thank you Madam Liu for your reminder. I will definitely give her a good talk when she comes back."
Shen Sui'an said with a smile, "It's a bit hot outside, Miss Wei, would you like to go in and wait?"
"No need." Wei Lichu refused coldly.
"How can you be so ungrateful? The princess is doing this for your own good." Someone couldn't help but scold.
“……”Wei Lichu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's go in and pick out some fabrics and ask the embroiderers at the embroidery workshop to make us some clothes."
Seeing Shen Sui'an and his group entering Linlang Pavilion again, Wei Lichu's clenched palms almost hurt in her heart.
However, the maids and coachmen she sent out searched for a long time but could not find any sign of Wei Lichu.
"Girl, has your cousin gone home yet?"
Wei Lichu frowned. She really hoped that Yi Lanxin had already returned home.
"Go back and check, don't let Madam find out." Yi Lanxin instructed her maid, and she continued to search around.
She no longer cared about the woman who pretended to be her cousin.
Until the Golden Crow set in the west, Wei Lichu still didn't wait for Yi Lanxin to come back.
Mrs. Wei sent someone to take her home.
"Mother, it must be the princess who kidnapped my cousin. You should find a way to save her." Wei Lichu thought of 'Yi Lanxin' in the chess house, and intuitively felt that all this was Shen Sui'an's evil plot.
"How do you want me to rescue him?" Madam Wei asked in a deep voice, "Bring people into the Regent's Mansion and threaten the princess to hand over Yi Lanxin?"
Wei Lichu opened her mouth. She wanted to ask, "Is it not possible?" So what if she was the princess? Could she arrest people for no reason?
But when she saw the look in her mother's eyes, she knew that this was impossible.
The Wei family did not dare to offend the Regent openly.
"What should we do, mother? Are we going to let the Regent Princess take my cousin away? They will kill my cousin." Wei Lichu said.
My cousin said that if she fell into the hands of the Regent, she would surely die.
Madam Wei rubbed her brows with a headache, "Didn't I tell you not to take Yi Lanxin out? Why didn't you listen?"
"We had things to do, and we saw many ladies in Linlang Pavilion on the way, so we went to take a look..."
Listening to her daughter talking about Linlang Pavilion and Yi Lanxin of the chess house, Madam Wei felt a throbbing pain in her forehead.
She just wouldn't believe that the sudden appearance of 'Yi Lanxin' in the chess room had nothing to do with Shen Sui'an.
But she didn't understand why Shen Suian did this?
"Let's discuss this matter after your father and brother come back," said Mrs. Wei.
"You are not allowed to go out again. I will send people to continue looking for Lan Xin."
As the night deepened, Wei Shidong and his son returned from outside.
Wei Lichu had been waiting at the Chuihua Gate for a long time. As soon as she saw them, she hurried to greet them.
"Daddy!" Wei Lichu's eyes were red and she looked at Wei Shidong with hope in her eyes.
Wei Shidong was stunned, "Chu'er, what's wrong with you?"
"My cousin is missing." Wei Lichu said with a sob.
Wei Shidong's expression changed slightly, "When did it happen?"
"Today, I asked someone to look for her, but there is still no news. Dad, the Regent Princess must have captured her. You should go and save her." Wei Lichu pulled Wei Shidong's sleeve.
"What are you talking about? When did Lan Xin come to Suzhou? Why did the Regent Princess want to arrest her? Lan Xin is a female official. Even the princess cannot do anything to her." Wei Huaizhang asked doubtfully.
Wei Shidong then remembered that his son didn't know about Yi Lanxin.
He said in a deep voice, "Let's go back first."
Only he and his wife knew what happened to Yi Lanxin in Salt Lake City. Even his daughter only had a vague understanding of the situation, so she could not understand the danger of Yi Lanxin going out.
Wei Huaizhang realized that his family seemed to be hiding something from him, and he pursed his lips.
"What are you planning to do today?" Wei Shidong asked.
Wei Lichu whispered, "My cousin said she wanted to buy the wasteland in Yingzui Bay. We can't let the Regent Princess dominate Yingzui Bay."
"Fortunately you didn't go!" Wei Huaizhang said coldly, "That piece of wasteland doesn't belong to the Wei family either, it's government land!"
