Chapter 411 Begging
After Yun Zhao and his wife found that waiting in ambush was useless, they approached the shopping woman in a sneaky way, hoping to get Yun Wanru's whereabouts from her, "Is Yun Wanru in the mansion?"

The shopping woman looked the couple up and down and asked, "Who are you? Why are you asking about our affairs?"

"I am Yun Hao's cousin." Yun Zhao stroked his beard and said in a majestic manner.

"Are you here to recognize your relatives? You should go into the mansion to see the young lady. Why are you stopping a servant like me? I can't help you." The shopping woman said and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao Shisan pulled her back and took out a few copper coins from her sleeve and stuffed them into the woman's hand. "This is for you. You just need to tell us where Yun Wanru is."

"Who are Yun Wanru and Feng Wanru? I don't know and have never heard of them." The purchasing woman refused to take the copper coins.

"Please help us find out." Mrs. Zhao Shisan stuffed the copper coins back to her. "We just want to know whether Yun Wanru is in the mansion. We have no other intentions. Just consider this small amount of money as a token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

"Yun Wanru? This name sounds familiar to me. Okay, I'll help you ask around." The shopping woman took the copper coins.

"Thank you very much." Mrs. Zhao Shisan and Yun Zhao smiled at each other.

But what they didn't expect was that the purchasing woman turned around and told the manager about it, and the manager took her to see Zhao Wangshu.

"Just tell them the truth about these lunatics who can't understand human language." Only a few people in the mansion knew about Zhao Wangshu's help to Yun Wanru.

"They also gave me five copper coins." The purchasing woman took out the copper coins and said.

The corners of Zhao Wangshu's mouth twitched slightly. They were so stingy when hiring people to do things for them, especially when the people they bribed were the most lucrative purchasing ladies.

"Just keep what they give you, and use it to buy your little grandson some candy to sweeten his mouth."

"Yes, young madam." The purchasing woman put away the copper coins.

"You did the right thing, Luzhi, reward her with a silver bean." Zhao Wangshu was much more generous.

The shopping woman smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

"By the way, don't rush to reply to them. Wait a few days." Zhao Wangshu instructed.

"I understand." said the purchasing woman.

"Go and do your thing."

"I'll take my leave." The steward left with the purchasing woman.

Luzhi asked in a low voice: "Young Madam, do you want someone to tell Miss Wanru?"

"I've already sent someone to tell her. After all, they are her parents. It's up to her to decide whether she wants to meet them or go with them." Zhao Wangshu didn't want to help others and then be blamed in the future.

In the evening, Qiao Ni came back from outside and said, "Madam, I went to see Miss Wanru, and she said that we were tired of each other, so she left. I wish you all the best."

Zhao Wangshu smiled lightly. She felt relieved that Yun Wanru understood clearly.

If the Yun Zhao couple want to inquire, they can do so. With their stingy nature, they won’t be able to stay in Beijing for long.

But before the two men left, Madam Yun came back from the temple and called Madam Thirteen to rush over, "Sister-in-law, help me."

Mrs. Yun in the carriage was startled by her shouting. She opened the door and looked out, "Sister-in-law of Thirteenth Brother, when did you come to the capital? What happened?" "Sister-in-law, you have to take care of this for me." Mrs. Thirteen cried.

"Let's talk after we get into the mansion." Madam Yun called out and ordered someone to bring her in, and she followed behind.

Madam Yun had just returned and didn't know what was going on in the mansion. She just thought that Madam Thirteen had encountered some difficulties and that was why she came to her house.

After the host and the guest sat down in the small hall and the servants served tea, Madam Yun asked, "Thirteenth brother, Thirteenth brother's wife, what happened?"

"Sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law Zhao has no respect for elders. When we came as guests, she actually asked the maid to drive us out of the house." Mrs. Zhao Shisan cried while wiping her tears.

"Thirteenth brother's sister, don't cry first. Tell me the whole story. If Wangshu really did something wrong, I will definitely seek justice for you." Mrs. Yun comforted her.

Madam Yun then said to the servant, "Go and invite the young mistress."

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so troublesome. I'm the elder and I won't argue with the younger ones. Let's talk about business." Mrs. Zhao Shisan stopped her guiltily.

Madam Yun was now even more certain that her daughter-in-law had done nothing wrong. She was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhao Thirteen's complaint, but she did not show it on her face. She said seriously, "Sister-in-law Thirteen, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. If someone does something wrong, they must be punished. No matter if she is a junior or an elder, they should be treated equally. As an elder, you should set an example. How can you condone and cover up for her?"

Mrs. Zhao Shisan was speechless after hearing what Mrs. Yun said and she gave Yun Zhao a look.

Yun Zhao coughed dryly and then said, "Sister-in-law, the main reason we came to Beijing this time is to take Wanru with us. We can't let her be stranded outside alone."

"Didn't Wanru go home?" Mrs. Yun had never seen Yun Wanru, nor did she know that Zhao Wangshu had arranged for Yun Wanru to live near Zhaojiazhuang.

"Yes, she never went back, and I don't know how she is doing now." Mrs. Zhao Shisan covered her face and sobbed, "My poor daughter."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law Thirteenth brother. Wanru is a sensible child. I think she has her own considerations for not going back. Moreover, even if she doesn't go back, she will find a way to contact you after she settles down. You just need to be patient and wait patiently." Madam Yun said, and asked the maid to bring a handkerchief to Madam Thirteenth brother.

Mrs. Zhao Shisan took the handkerchief, pressed it to her eyes, and wiped away the nonexistent tears. "Sister-in-law, Wanru is a woman living alone outside. How can I feel at ease?"

Madam Yun put her hands together and prayed to Buddha, "Thirteenth brother's sister, don't worry, Wanru has a maid with her, and she has silver on her, I think nothing will happen to her, Buddha will bless her."

"Wanru has been innocent and kind since she was young, and she trusts people easily. I'm afraid she's been deceived." Mrs. Zhao Shisan grabbed Mrs. Yun's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, I beg you, please ask someone to help me find Wanru."

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you, but finding someone in a city as big as the capital is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Madam Yun was also unwilling to help her find someone.

What to do with it?
Let Mrs. Zhao Shisan sell her daughter again?
Then she would be an accomplice.

She would never do such an evil thing.

Mrs. Zhao Thirteen's face turned pale when she heard this. She didn't expect Mrs. Yun to reject her. "Sister-in-law, I beg you, just..."

Just at this moment, Zhao Wangshu came in from the side door and bowed to Madam Yun. "I greet you, mother. I wonder if you have asked someone to call me here. What do you want me to do?"

"Wangshu is here. Let's meet your Uncle Thirteen and Aunt Thirteen." Mrs. Yun said with a loving smile.

"Niece-in-law greets Uncle Thirteen and Aunt Thirteen." Zhao Wangshu bowed and stood there waiting for Madam Yun's instructions.

"Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, mother." Zhao Wangshu sat down on the chair.
