Sun was unaware of the border situation and naturally wouldn't connect it to the enemy's affairs. She shook her head blankly.
However, she could do the task of taking her second sister-in-law's pulse.
"Sister-in-law, are you being paranoid? There are many refugees lately, so increasing the guards might be to prevent them from entering the city."
"I heard from the people that a prince from an enemy country has disguised himself and infiltrated Jiangyang City, preparing to...prepare to assassinate His Majesty."
Lady Liu had roughly guessed why the escort was behaving this way, and hinted at it indirectly.
She went with her sister-in-law to tell her mother-in-law. If she went alone, her mother-in-law would question how she knew this information. But if she went with her sister-in-law...
She had reason to say that the conclusion was reached by the two of them through analysis.
Despite the obvious implication in her words, Mrs. Sun remained bewildered and shook her head in complete incomprehension.
Seeing this, Liu had no choice but to give up her hints and sighed helplessly as she picked up the broken bowl from the ground and got up.
Unable to bear seeing her sister-in-law's disappointed expression, Sun hurriedly got up, took the broken bowl from her hand, and led her to find Zhu Chenfeng.
“Although I don’t understand what you’re saying, Chen Feng is different; he will definitely understand.”
After the two found Zhu Chenfeng making the bed, Sun quickly recounted their entire conversation to him.
After speaking, Sun looked at Zhu Chenfeng, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and felt uneasy. She whispered something.
"You don't understand either, do you?"
"I understand, but I'm wondering if I should ask someone."
After careful consideration, Zhu Chenfeng slowly raised his head and looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
Sun didn't understand Zhu Chenfeng's words, her face full of confusion as she frowned, "Who are you asking?"
Liu understood what Zhu Chenfeng was saying, and she apologized to Sun with a ashamed expression.
"Jiayan, there's something I forgot to tell you..."
When Sun heard that her husband had almost been killed by Zhu Wen, she was so angry that she wanted to give him a good scolding.
If Zhu Chenfeng hadn't stopped her, she would have already run into the woods.
"Are these people crazy? We are noble families, after all. They can't just kill us whenever they want."
Zhu Chenfeng put his arm around Madam Sun and gently stroked her back, constantly comforting her, "Don't be impulsive. The world is too chaotic now. At worst, they can just give up their official positions, but we are different."
"If we go against them, we'll only face death."
Liu also agreed with the third son's statement. She looked at the two of them with a solemn expression and said in a low voice.
"Why don't we secretly find out from Zhu Wen? He took our money, so as long as we stick to this point, he'll have no choice but to tell us."
"Okay, then I'll go ask the second brother for help." Zhu Chenfeng did as he said and immediately got up and ran towards Zhu Haotian.
As Sun watched her husband's departing figure, she felt uneasy. After glancing at her mother-in-law, she took Liu's hand and said...
"Sister-in-law, should we tell Mother?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. We'll talk about it after we've confirmed this. She's still worried about her people, so let's not bother her anymore."
Liu wanted to avoid troubling her mother-in-law, so she planned to discuss the matter with her sisters-in-law and brothers herself, and then consult with her mother-in-law after confirming the whole situation.
As the two were chatting, the sound of the escorts laughing and joking came from behind them. Chen Xiang, who was walking ahead with a blade of grass in his mouth, subconsciously looked at Old Lady Zhu.
Seeing the Zhu family members all bowing their heads in disarray, he smiled with satisfaction and urged his brothers to continue drinking.
At the same time, Zhu Chenfeng jogged back with Zhu Haotian, and Zhu Xiaobao followed behind him.
"Dabao, what brings you here?" Madam Liu didn't want her son to be involved in this matter, and she was somewhat displeased to see him come over.
Faced with his mother's questioning, Zhu Xiaobao immediately lowered his head unhappily and replied softly, "Mom, I'm all grown up now, and I can help with the family's burdens too."
"Yes, I was worried we wouldn't have enough manpower, so I brought Da Bao along. Qin Ru and Da Bao are taking care of Mom and Xi Xi now, so don't worry."
Zhu Haotian had a different idea from Liu Shi. He believed that Zhu Dabao was eleven years old and should take on the responsibilities of the family.
There are already few men in the family, so if he can grow up quickly and help, then there will be one more person to protect everyone.
Seeing that her second brother had said so, Liu couldn't refuse, so she could only smile and nod in agreement.
"Okay, it's not anything dangerous anyway. Da Bao, you stay with your second uncle and don't run around."
Under Liu's arrangement, everyone performed their duties, with Zhu Chenfeng and Liu entering the woods first.
Zhu Haotian, along with Sun Shi, monitored Zhu Yanyan and Zhu Borong's every move, while Zhu Dabao was responsible for luring Zhu Wen out.
On the other side, Zhu Borong, who was monitoring the Zhu family, discovered that Zhu Chenfeng and Liu had secretly entered the woods. He quickly returned to tell Zhu Yanyan.
"What are those two doing in the woods?" Zhu Yanyan asked, squinting her eyes in confusion as she looked at Zhu Borong.
Zhu Borong laughed with a wicked and dirty mind, stroking his chin and looking towards the woods, "What else can we do! It's just that kind of thing."
"What are you talking about? They must be up to something. They already have enough trouble with their tribesmen, why would they have time for something else? Let's go and see."
Zhu Yanyan glared at Zhu Borong with disdain, then got up and headed towards the woods.
There was no food left in the forest, so these two people definitely didn't go into the forest to find ingredients. Something was fishy, there must be something fishy going on.
However, before they could leave the camp, they saw Zhu Chenfeng and Sun standing in front of them.
Upon seeing Zhu Haotian, Zhu Borong's legs went weak. He covered his face and retreated in fear, pointing at him and trembling as he warned him.
"Zhu Haotian, don't do anything reckless, the guards are all here."
"Uncle, don't be afraid. We haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with you in a long time. Why don't we have a good chat tonight?"
Zhu Haotian instantly dropped his gloomy expression, grinned, and stepped forward to hug Zhu Borong, pressing him down to sit on the stone stool.
Sun then approached Zhu Yanyan, forced her to sit down with a forced smile, and said rudely.
"Yan Yan, we should have a good talk too."
Zhu Yanyan sat on the stone stool, her face dark, looking at the two people in front of her.
She pondered for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
“Okay! Let’s go together.” Not to be outdone, Sun also stood up and roughly dragged Zhu Yanyan toward the bushes nearby.
Zhu Yanyan angrily tried to pull her arm back, but she was too weak and could only watch helplessly as Sun threw her into the bushes.
Zhu Yanyan staggered a few steps and fell heavily into the bushes. She roared angrily at Sun Shi, "You bitch, how dare you push me!"
"So what if I pushed you?"
Sun raised her chin, looking down at the disheveled Zhu Yanyan with an expression that said, "I'm not afraid of anyone."
