Chapter 361 Help her
The carriage was stopped.
"Get off the carriage for routine search." The people from the military corps patted the carriage.
A slender and tall figure got off the carriage first, then reached his hand inside.
Tang Luwu put her hand on his arm and got out of the carriage gracefully like most rich ladies.
Tang Luwu was dressed up today. Not as casual as usual, but rather quite grand. When people saw her, their first reaction was that this woman must be from some important background.
In the past, Tang Luwu would not have allowed herself to travel with such heavy jewelry on her head, but too many things had happened recently, and she had already understood that these people in the capital would judge a person by his clothes before he would judge him. In order to reduce trouble, she could only follow the local customs and make herself look valuable so that she would not be easily messed with.
The soldiers from the military searched the carriage to make sure there was no place for people to hide, then squatted down to check the bottom of the carriage.
When seeing their actions, Tang Luwu was a little scared.
Earlier, she had suggested to Wei Zhaoyan that he should try to get away by hanging from the bottom of the carriage as he had done before. Wei Zhaoyan had said that it was nighttime and there hadn't been a citywide manhunt, so he had managed to get away. This time was different. It was broad daylight, and the military officials, eager to make a name for themselves, would be extremely thorough in their search, practically turning the carriage upside down. Using the same trick again wouldn't work.
If Wei Zhaoyan had listened to her advice, he would have been arrested by now, and she would have implicated the entire Tang family.
"Sir, can we go now?" Tang Luwu asked calmly.
"You're really tall, girl." The soldier looked at Wei Zhaoyan, who was dressed in women's clothing. "Raise your head, we want to take a closer look."
Tang Luwu squeezed her palms.
She had just changed Wei Zhaoyan into women's clothes in the carriage.
After changing into women's clothes and putting on some delicate makeup, he now looked more like a beautiful woman than she did.
Apart from height, there are no other flaws.
However, she couldn't solve the problem of height!
Is this the place where I'm going to be buried today? If Wei Zhaoyan is arrested, the fact that the Tang family is harboring a criminal will be exposed, which is a capital crime.
Cold sweat appeared on Tang Luwu's forehead.
If it were before, she would have fainted from fear by now. The fact that she had managed to hold on until now was a huge improvement.
"Brother Song." Tang Luwu saw Song Ruize passing by and shouted, "Brother Song."
Song Ruize was passing by with his brothers when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Tang Luwu.
He strode over, his gaze fixed on Wei Zhaoyan who lowered his head, and his eyes flashed.
He turned around and looked at the people from the North City Military Division next to him and said, "What's their problem?"
The man quickly said, "Commander Song, no problem, we'll release him immediately."
Tang Luwu let out a light breath, and when she saw Song Ruize's gaze shifted towards her, she quickly straightened her expression and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Song."
Song Ruize turned and left.
As soon as he left, Tang Luwu immediately got on the carriage and said to Wei Zhaoyan, "Hurry up and get in, we are in a hurry."
Wei Zhaoyan also got on the carriage.
Just as the carriage was about to start, Chen Yong rode back and said, "The boss said the streets are not peaceful, so he asked me to lead the way for you so that no one will stop your carriage. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."
"Thank you, Brother Chen Yong." Tang Luwu said the address, which was also where Wei Zhaoyan was going.
Chen Yong took them there and waited for them outside when he learned that Tang Luwu would be out soon. When Tang Luwu came out, he got on his horse again to lead the way and sent them back to Tang's house.
Qin Huiyin heard that Tang Luwu had returned and rushed to the door to greet her. When she saw a tall and thin maidservant beside her, she took a few glances and said to her, "You must be tired. Go and rest."
"Sister Huiyin." Chen Yong shouted.
"Brother Chen Yong." Qin Huiyin turned and walked over. "Are you just passing by?"
"The boss met Miss Tang on the street and was worried that she might be harassed, so he asked me to take her back." Chen Yong said, "The boss asked if you are free today. If you are, he would like to invite you to the Song residence for a gathering."
"Yes, I'll go there tonight."
"Okay, then I'll go to work first." Chen Yong got on the horse.
After Chen Yong disappeared, Qin Huiyin said to Zhilan beside her, "Zhilan, it's over. My brother must know."
Zhilan said, "That's not necessarily true! Perhaps Lord Song really just wants to get together with Miss."
"My brother met Lu Wu, and Brother Wei was right next to her. How could he, such a smart person, not recognize her?" Qin Huiyin sighed, "Now I can't hide it even if I want to. I have to think of how to explain it."
"I will accompany the young lady tonight!"
"No need, you can keep it. There are people waiting for it at the Song residence." Qin Huiyin said, "You have always been careful, so please help keep an eye on it. By the way, keep it a secret from Su Jin, don't let her know."
"Miss, Miss Wei and the others must be very worried about the young master. If they knew that he was still alive, they might not do anything stupid again."
"That's Brother Wei's own business. If he thinks the women in his family should know, he'll definitely send someone to inform them. In short, we can't spread this news."
Lvwu Courtyard. Tang Lvwu heard a voice behind the screen and asked through the screen, "Brother Wei, is it difficult to take off your women's clothes? Do you need help?"
"No need." Wei Zhaoyan's voice sounded a little uncomfortable.
"Shall I get a servant to go in and help you?"
"Really, no need. Please go out and wait for a while."
Tang Luwu stopped talking, but kept listening carefully to the movements inside.
After waiting for a while, Wei Zhaoyan still didn't come out. Just when Tang Luwu was about to ask again, Wei Zhaoyan came out with an uneasy look on his face and said awkwardly, "This knot is tied tightly."
Tang Luwu smiled and walked towards Wei Zhaoyan: "Let me solve it!"
Wei Zhaoyan looked at Tang Luwu as she approached. She lowered her head and untied the knot of her belt. Her fingers flew nimbly, and she quickly untied the knot that had been bothering him for a long time.
The little girl has grown up, is a little rounder than before, and looks more energetic.
As a "brother" who had been eating and drinking for a long time in the Tang family, he had also seen how a little girl grew up.
If his family had not suffered any misfortune, when she got married, he, as her 'brother', would have gone to have a drink with her and give her a dowry.
It's a pity that I have fallen to this point and need help from my family to survive.
"Miss..." Minghui came in with snacks and turned around quickly when she saw what the two were doing. "I didn't see anything."
Wei Zhaoyan finally came to his senses and said to Minghui, "What nonsense! I just can't untie this knot, so I asked you young lady for a favor."
Tang Luwu blushed, "Minghui, go to the kitchen and see if the medicine is ready. Brother Wei should take it."
