Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 410 Looking for a Girl
Madam Yun was ill for ten days before she recovered. As soon as she recovered, she told Zhao Wangshu, "I can recover this time, thanks to the blessing of Buddha. I want to go to the temple to donate some money and pray for my whole family."

Zhao Wangshu advised: "Mother, you have just recovered from an illness and are still weak. It is not suitable for you to travel long distances. How about waiting for a while and then I will accompany you to the temple to pray for blessings?"

Madam Yun shook her head and said, "No, I will go tomorrow. I will feel at ease if I pray and fulfill my wish as soon as possible."

Seeing her firm attitude, Zhao Wangshu had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go with you."

"You stay at home and take care of Yu'er. I'll stay at the temple for a few days and come back after adding some money for incense." Madam Yun held her hand and said, "Don't worry. I promised you that I would not become a nun, and I won't break my promise."

Zhao Wangshu was indeed worried that she would stay in the temple and become a nun. Hearing this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? How could I be worried about you? Since you want to stay in the temple for a while, I will have someone prepare a carriage and some things for the journey."

Madam Yun smiled and nodded, and Zhao Wangshu immediately gave instructions to prepare for Madam Yun's trip the next day.

Early the next morning, Zhao Wangshu carried little Yunyu and sent Madam Yun to the carriage.

Madam Yun looked at the mother and son, her eyes full of love: "Wangshu, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

"Mother, be careful on your journey." Zhao Wangshu shook Xiao Yunyu's hand, "Say goodbye to grandma."

After the carriage disappeared from sight, Zhao Wangshu picked up Xiao Yunyu and turned back to the yard.

Madam Yun left the house in the morning, and in the afternoon Yun Zhao and Madam Zhao Shisan appeared outside the house, exhausted.

Zhao Wangshu had just woken up from a nap when Lan Fen hurried in and said, "Young Madam, Master Zhao and Madam Zhao are outside the mansion, clamoring to see Madam."

"It's been such a long time since they came." Zhao Wangshu was not surprised at their arrival. As early as after the incident at the Cao family, she thought they would come and take Yun Wanru away as soon as they heard the news.

"Young Madam, you have forgotten that the drought is so severe, who would dare to come?" Luzhi reminded.

"Take them to the flower hall for tea." Zhao Wangshu ordered.

"Yes, Madam." Lan Fen went out.

Zhao Wangshu was not in a hurry to go out. She ate the stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa slowly. Her throat had been feeling uncomfortable in the past few days, but she didn't want to take medicine, so she ate this to moisten her throat.

After she finished eating the pear and changed her clothes, she teased Xiao Yunyu for a few more words before going to the flower hall in front.

The Yun Zhao couple had grown impatient waiting, and when they saw her, Mrs. Yun Shisan said sarcastically, "Zhao, you are so arrogant. We elders have been here for such a long time, and you just came out."

Zhao Wangshu ignored her, glanced at her calmly, and sat down on the chair. "What are you two here for?"

"Stop talking nonsense, we are here to take Wanru away, let her out quickly." Mrs. Yun Shisan yelled.

"Mrs. Thirteen came to my place looking for someone, but I'm afraid she came to the wrong place." Zhao Wangshu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Wanru is not with you?" Mrs. Zhao Shisan looked at her suspiciously.

"I need to remind you two that ever since you insisted on marrying Wanru into the Cao family and even bought things on credit in the name of my family, our two families have been falling out. Why should I take her in?" Zhao Wangshu said coldly.

Mrs. Zhao Shisan and Yun Zhao looked at each other and saw a hint of guilt in each other's eyes.

They did suspect that Zhao Wangshu might have taken Wanru in, but the previous events made that seem unlikely. "Zhao, don't try to shirk responsibility. You hid Wanru, where else could she go except here?" Mrs. Zhao Shisan was relying on Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu put down his teacup and said calmly, "Where she is, what does it have to do with me? If you are really worried about her, you can report to the authorities and ask them to help find her instead of coming here to make trouble."

When Mrs. Zhao Shisan heard that the case was going to be reported to the police, her face suddenly changed. Although she suspected that Zhao Wangshu had taken in Wanru, she had no conclusive evidence. If she rashly reported the case to the police and found out that Wanru was not there, she would be in big trouble.

Yun Zhao also frowned. He didn't want to report to the police. Once he did, what if he was implicated by the Cao family?
"Brother Hao's wife, Wanru is your cousin after all, how can you not care about her life or death?" Mrs. Zhao Shisan's tone softened and she wanted to play the family card.

Zhao Wangshu sneered, "In order to get close to the Cao family, you ignored Wanru's wishes and our opposition and insisted on marrying her. Have you ever thought about her life or death? Since you parents don't care, why should I, your sister-in-law, care?"

Mrs. Zhao Shisan's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Zhao Wangshu said, but she had no way to refute.

Indeed, in order to curry favor with Prince Xianli, they married Wanru to the Cao family against her will.

However, in their opinion, Wanru would enjoy a good life by marrying into the Cao family. Little did they know that the Cao family was actually a hell pit.

"Ms. Zhao, we know we were wrong at the beginning, but now Wanru's whereabouts are unknown and we are really worried about her. Please tell us where she is?" Yun Zhao also pleaded.

"I don't know where Wanru is." Zhao Wangshu reiterated.

"Brother Hao's wife, we know that Wanru's marriage was not properly arranged, but that was also for the benefit of the family. You can't just watch Wanru suffer outside, can you?" Mrs. Zhao Shisan changed her strategy.

Zhao Wangshu was unmoved. "Madam Thirteen, who made Wanru suffer? Who made Wanru unable to return home now?"

“This…” Mrs. Zhao Shisan was speechless for a moment, and her expression became even uglier.

Seeing that Zhao Wangshu still insisted that he didn't know Yun Wanru's whereabouts, he knew that it was useless to continue pestering her, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, let's report it to the authorities and let them find her."

"Goodbye." Zhao Wangshu said coldly.

Yun Zhao and Mrs. Zhao Shisan exchanged glances again. It seemed that Mrs. Zhao really didn't know where Wanru was.

The two men left Yun Mansion in disappointment, and Zhao Wangshu sent someone to follow them.

After a while, the people who followed them came back and reported, "They didn't go to the government office to report to the authorities, and stayed in the inn."

Zhao Wangshu sneered. She was not surprised at all.

Mrs. Zhao Shisan kept saying that she would report the case to the police, but it was just bluffing, and she was trying to force her to hand over Yun Wanru.

She wouldn't be fooled.

However, Zhao Wangshu also knew that Yun Zhao and Madam Zhao Thirteen would not give up so easily. Sure enough, the next day, the guards in the mansion came to tell her, "Master Zhao Thirteen and Madam Zhao Thirteen have been wandering around the mansion."

"Don't worry about them, just let them go." Zhao Wangshu wanted to see how long these two people could stay in Beijing.

Yun Zhao and Mrs. Zhao Shisan thought that after Zhao Wangshu had been kept outside the Yun residence for a few days, he would not be able to bear it anymore and would have to hand over Yun Wanru.

But they never expected that Zhao Wangshu would not react at all.
