There were fewer people on the streets. Although the grain stores were still selling grain, the prices hadn't dropped much. People couldn't afford it at all."The village chief, hearing this, stood up...He received the news too suddenly, the opportunity was rare, his mind got hot and he wanted to take a gamble, but unfortunately, he still failed.
This time, three people were sent out, all of the dark guards' main force. They knew too many secrets of the Wu family!
The manager of the shop at home also helped with ventilation and communication.
If everything was lost, it wouldn't be so bad, but if they caught even one alive, it would be over completely...
"Where is Madam Hurry and bring Madam here!" Master Wu exclaimed repeatedly.
Before he could even leave the house, Mrs. Wu had already come looking for him.
As soon as she entered, she said, “Husband, how did I hear that you didn’t have lunch This is not good, your health is important.”
As long as our daughter remains Empress in the palace, we have nothing to fear.
Even if Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice investigated, at most they would just fine some silver...
Unfortunately, she had only spoken half a sentence when Master Wu firmly grabbed her arm, lowering his voice to ask, "Who else knows about that"
"What's up"
Mrs. Wu was dumbfounded by the question, and Master Wu, her husband, was so angry he wanted to crack open her skull and stir it around.
He gritted his teeth and said, “It was you who killed Princess Kangle and took her heart blood to give to the Empress, wasn't it Besides you, who else knows about this”
"Oh, oh!" Mrs. Wu finally reacted, "Only Grandma Sun knows!
"When I met the old fairy that day, she was by my side."
Mr. Wu immediately ordered, "Get rid of her secretly as quickly as possible! Absolutely make sure she doesn't utter another word!"
Madam Wu was startled. She had always relied on Nanny Sun, and now hearing that she was to be killed, she hesitated.
"Master, Grandmother Sun is very loyal and would never betray me…"
"Fool!" Wu Dalao roared, his voice thick with rage. "This matter is about to be exposed! The only way to save you is to kill Grandma Sun!"
"Once I'm captured, you can still go see the Empress and plead for me. Otherwise, we'll only have to wait for death!"
"Oh!" Finally, Mrs. Wu realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly called the little maid waiting outside to go find Nanny Sun.
But the little girl hesitated and stammered, "Madam, earlier Granny Sun said that her nephew had an accident and she needed to go out of the mansion to see him. She asked us to take care of things in her absence..."
"What!" Mrs. Wu's face paled in shock.
Master Wu immediately called his attendant and selected a few men, then rushed with the little girl straight to the back door of Houfu.
Behind the back door was a narrow alley. There were about ten small courtyards in the alley, where the families of the stewards and officials of the Hou residence lived. Sun Mama's nephew also lived here.
This kid had only been working at the Hou Mansion for a short time before he became addicted to gambling. He would gather with others in a small house in the garden to roll dice at night, and was eventually caught. He was kicked out of the mansion immediately.
Those living in the courtyard where he stayed, seeing Granny Sun's face, dared not offend him too much, but they also didn't come to socialize with him.
When Chang Suidai and his people arrived, everyone in the courtyard was taken aback by their intimidating presence.
The woman rushed into the house in panic, and the children cried and hid everywhere.
Chang Sui was woken up by the noise and had a headache. He shouted angrily, then called a man over and asked, "Where are Sun Zhuzi and Grandma Sun Who knows where they are, bring them out quickly!"
Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other in surprise, not knowing what to do.
He became impatient and demanded, "Master wants to question Grandma Sun and young master Sun. You must bring them out immediately, or else it will delay important matters. If the master blames us, none of us can bear the consequences!"
One man bravely said, “Sun Zhuzi disappears and reappears every day, and we can’t catch him at all.”
"And he didn't seem to come back last night. As for Grandma Sun, we haven't seen her either!"
There was a bold child who suddenly popped out from behind his mother and cried, "I know! Granny Sun ran out. I bumped into her accidentally, and she scolded me, calling me a little rascal!"
"Where did she run to" Chang Sui hurriedly asked.
The child pointed to outside the alley, but he couldn't say exactly where.
Chang Sui was unable to keep up, so he quickly took his people to chase after him.
It's a pity, Granny Sun is gone long ago. They can't catch up to her!
They did not know that at this very moment, Grandma Sun and her nephew had already been tied up with ropes and thrown into a carriage, bumping along as they were driven out of the city.
Sun Zhuzi was beaten black and blue, but Sun Grandma remained unharmed.
But if someone could peer inside, they would definitely see her purplish intestines...
Just now, she heard word from someone that her nephew had been beaten and broken his leg by thugs at the gambling den because he owed them money, and he urgently needed her to come save him.
She rushed out of the house to get there, but the casino didn't want money at all. They knocked her and her nephew unconscious!
When they awoke again, they were in this carriage.
A young attendant sat in the back of the car, guarding the door. She wouldn't even want to roll out.
She struggled frantically, sobbing, but to no avail, for her mouth was stuffed with rags, preventing a single word from escaping.
The young manager was none other than Zheng He.
Perhaps seeing Grandma Sun's eyes about to pop out, he kindly advised her a few words, "Grandma, just stop struggling! "
"If you still have the energy, why don't you think about what bad things you've done When we question you later, if you confess sooner, you'll suffer less."
Unfortunately, Grandma Sun wouldn't listen to advice. She struggled harder and harder, even spitting out the cloth she had in her mouth!
She retched twice and immediately cried out, “I’m from the Jiangning Marquis Mansion, please let me go! How much silver do you want, I’ll give it to you!”
Unfortunately, Zheng He simply put the tattered cloth back down and even shoved it in forcefully.
Grandma Sun almost choked to death.
Finally catching her breath, she heard Zheng He say: "We've been looking for you, Granny Sun. The personal maid of Madam Wu."
"Also, let me tell you again, we're not a gambling den. We belong to the Li family, the Suijin Tan Li family!"
The Li family!
Grandmother Sun gasped and understood everything...
In Li Lao Tai's courtyard in the new village, she was playing with Xing Xing and Yue Ya Er.
Two children, chubby as cotton balls, ran around, very cute.
Constantly, the old nanny stood by his side, lending a hand whenever needed.
Wan'er and Wenjuan sat in the room, sewing some small items for the children.
Since the family bought maidservants, they each had someone to help them, so they didn't do tiring work like sewing clothes and shoes.
Wenjuan would often stretch her neck to look into the courtyard, afraid of tiring out the old woman.
Waner gently patted her sleeping son and whispered softly, "Wenjuan, don't worry.
“I am the sister who misses my grandma and thinks of going into the city. I didn’t eat much for lunch, so I asked her to help watch the children, just to have a little peace of mind.”
Wen Juan blushed and replied, "I know that too, but Grandma is watching the child. If we sit inside the house, I always feel uneasy."
Wan'er looked at the sun and said, "Don't worry, your sisters should be back soon!"
Before the words even landed, a servant rushed back from outside, “Madam, the County Lord and her companions are back!”
