Chapter 155 Hiring Bodyguards
"what are you up to?"
“I miss Gu Peiyan a little,” Wei Dongning answered frankly. “But I can’t go to the Censorate to find him, so I have to find something to do myself.”
The damage caused by the brother and sister throwing and smashing things at the Gu residence last time hasn't been compensated yet.
I reckon their injuries should be almost healed by now.
Now that she's going to seek compensation from them, isn't that kind enough?
Xiao Wu stared at Wei Dongning as she searched for the IOU that the brother and sister had signed and sealed when they were in Jingzhao Prefecture last time. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out how "wanting Gu Peiyan" and "collecting debts" could be combined.
But since it's something she wants to do, it will absolutely support her.
So he quickly pulled up the current status of the brother and sister and showed it to Wei Dongning: "Judging from this situation, apart from some inconvenience in movement, they should have returned to normal."
"Great, let's set off once I find that piece of paper!"
When Xiao Fu pushed the door open, she saw Wei Dongning rummaging through things and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Madam, what are you looking for?"
"Xiao Fu, it's just in time for you to come back. Do you remember that list we brought back from the Jingzhao Prefecture last time? I can't remember where I put it."
"Didn't the young mistress say that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to find it in her room, so she took it to the study?"
"Is that so?" Wei Dongning looked at Xiao Wu, as if asking why it hadn't reminded her.
Xiao Wu scratched at the rope on the cat tree, looking completely innocent: "Didn't I just go to check on those two people's current situation?"
Xiao Fu answered firmly, "Yes."
Wei Dongning knew that Xiao Fu had no reason to lie to her, so she immediately gave up searching the room. She turned and headed towards the study.
Sure enough, a quick search in the study revealed the paper.
Wei Dongning flicked the paper with her finger and couldn't help but sigh, "Then what about all that time I spent rummaging through the house?"
"You've got guts," Xiao Wu added.
I immediately found her a very fitting background music track, and even sang and danced along, saying, "There are always people in this world busy searching for treasure~"
Wei Dongning was both amused and exasperated: "Stop playing it, let's get ready to leave."
Wei Dongning folded the paper and, after leaving the study, handed it to Xiao Fu, who had finished tidying the bedroom and came out to greet her: "Here you go, let's go to the martial arts school first."
"what?"
"Find two people to protect us. So that we two vulnerable women won't be bullied by them."
Wei Dongning spoke without blushing or skipping a beat, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.
Xiao Wu felt embarrassed for her after hearing this: "Who are you calling a weak woman?"
"Me and Xiao Fu, what's wrong with us? Don't we look alike?"
"Hehehe, it does look like it." Xiao Wu's lips twitched.
I don't know how someone with such excellent martial arts skills could have the nerve to say she's weak.
Wei Dongning ignored it and happily got into the ready-made carriage with Xiao Fu, instructing the coachman, "To the martial arts school."
When they arrived at the martial arts school, the children were having a class.
Seeing that she was a stranger, they all looked at her with curiosity.
Little Tiger, standing among them, was an exception. His eyes lit up as he tried to go up and greet her, but she smiled and shook her head to stop him.
Dong Xiaolin's stern voice came from behind them: "If you don't seize the time to practice properly, do you not want to go home today?"
The children were startled by his voice and all turned their gaze away from Wei Dongning, continuing to practice what Dong Xiaolin had assigned them.
Dong Xiaolin pointed to the small pavilion for receiving guests not far away, indicating that she should go and wait for him for a while, and then continued to instruct the children on their movements.
Wei Dongning had no intention of disturbing his class, so she nodded gently and sat down in the place he had designated.
That angle offered a perfect view of the training field, so even if she just sat there, she wouldn't get too bored.
After a while, having corrected all the minor issues with the children's movements, Dong Xiaolin walked over to them and sat down opposite her: "What made you decide to come back to the martial arts school today?"
"I've come to borrow two people from you."
Dong Xiaolin had watched the original owner grow up, so Wei Dongning didn't intend to be polite with him and directly told him the whole story and her needs.
Dong Xiaolin's eyebrows nearly knotted together upon hearing this: "How about I walk around with you for a bit?"
"No need, it would be a waste of your talents to go there. Just find me two people."
"Sit here and wait a while, I'll go pick out two strong guys for you who are good at martial arts."
"Okay, thanks Xiaolin, I knew you were reliable."
Dong Xiaolin raised his eyebrows smugly and turned to leave.
But after taking only a couple of steps, he turned back: "Does your older brother know about this?"
"I know, he agreed that I could handle it myself."
"That's fine then, you just wait."
When Dong Xiaolin returned, he was followed by two men.
They were all burly and looked like they were not to be trifled with.
If you don't say you're a martial arts instructor from a martial arts school, you'll easily be mistaken for a professional thug employed by some gambling den.
Xiao Wu was secretly relieved that he wasn't human.
Even Xiao Fu, who had been to military camps and seen all sorts of muscular men, couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw them.
Only Wei Dongning's eyes sparkled with excitement when she saw the two of them: "It's the two of them! I'll bring them back to them later. Thanks, Brother Xiaolin!"
"You two, be sure to protect the Third Miss's safety."
Two booming voices rang out in the pavilion: "Please rest assured, Master."
Wei Dongning, accompanied by two "top bodyguards" and her personal "secretary," swaggered to the Tang residence.
The people in the Tang family recognized her and didn't even dare to stop her, letting them in with their doors wide open.
Wei Dongning sat in the reception room, calmly blowing on the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea, showing no sign of being in a hurry.
After drinking two cups of tea, Tang's cousin finally shuffled over and asked, "What are you doing at my house?"
"No rush, we'll talk about it when your sister arrives." When she came in, she had already reminded the Tang family's butler to go to her cousin's house and invite her over.
Tang's cousin, recalling the terrible lesson she had taught him last time, felt a surge of anger.
Thinking that this was in her own home, she certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly, and pointed at her nose, ready to step forward and scold her.
Before he could even speak, the two martial artists who had been standing in the shadows stepped in front of him.
She crossed her arms and looked down at him.
Tang's cousin was so intimidated by their imposing manner that he took a step back, swallowed hard, withdrew his trembling fingers, and dared not say another word.
She walked shakily to her seat and sat down, her eyes glancing every now and then at the two people walking back behind Wei Dongning.
Wei Dongning didn't even glance at him. She placed the teacup on the small table beside her, pouted, and commented to Xiao Fu beside her, "The tea the Tang family serves to guests is really terrible. It's not even half as good as what we usually drink at home."
Xiao Wu, who was mentally preparing to eat a McDonald's meal, stopped squeezing ketchup onto the hamburger and tilted his head to look at her: "You drank two cups even though it didn't taste good?"
