Wen Congrui called Wufu over simply to see her attitude; if she had wanted to protect her uncle, it wasn't impossible—it would have just required a bit of effort on her part.
But it was clear that she didn't even recognize this uncle of hers.
Wen Congrui didn't ask why; considering the information he had gathered, how could someone as astute as he not guess the reason?
Changing the subject, Wen Congrui asked about the progress of the carving, to which Wufu, smiling, said, "Everything is under my control, Lord, you can rest assured."
"If there's anything you need, feel free to seek out Shopkeeper Lin, or Nan Shan would also do," said Wen Congrui.
"In that case, thank you, Lord," Wufu said, rising to perform a courtesy.
After having a cup of tea, she didn't linger and soon asked to take her leave; Wen Congrui had Nan Shan escort her out.
