He received the news so suddenly today, and seeing the rare opportunity, he impulsively decided to take a gamble, but he failed anyway.

This time, three people were sent out, all of whom were the main force of the secret guards. They knew too many of the Wu family's secrets!

The manager of the family shop also helped to inform people.

If they were all lost, that would be fine, but if even one of them were captured alive, then we're completely finished...

"Where is Madam? Quickly go and invite Madam over!" Master Wu shouted repeatedly.

Before the servant could even leave, Madam Wu had already come looking for them.

As she entered, she said, "Sir, I heard you didn't have lunch? That won't do; your health is important."

"As long as our daughter is still the Empress in the palace, our family has nothing to fear."

"Even if the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice find out something, at most they'll just impose a fine..."

Unfortunately, she only got halfway through her sentence before Master Wu grabbed her arm tightly and asked in a low voice, "Who else around you knows about that matter?"

"What's up?"

Madam Wu was stunned by the question, which made Master Wu so angry that he wanted to crack open her skull and stir it up.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Who else but you knows about killing Princess Kangle and taking her heart's blood to give to the Empress?"

"Ah, ah!" Madam Wu finally realized, "Only Granny Sun knows!"

"She was by my side when I met the old immortal that day."

Master Wu immediately ordered, "Get rid of her secretly right away, and absolutely do not let her utter a single word!"

Madam Wu was startled. She had always relied on Granny Sun, and now that she heard that Granny Sun was to be killed, she hesitated.

"Master, Granny Sun is very loyal and would never betray me..."

"Fool!" Master Wu shouted, his voice hoarse with anxiety, "This matter is about to be exposed. Only by killing Granny Sun can you save yourself!"

"Once I'm arrested, you can still go see the Empress and plead for me. Otherwise, we're just waiting to die!"

"Ah!" Madam Wu finally realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly called the maid waiting outside to go find Granny Sun.

But the little maid hesitated and said, "Madam, just now Granny Sun said that her nephew had an accident and she had to go out of the manor to check on him. She asked us to look after him for her..."

"What?!" Madam Wu's face changed in shock.

Master Wu immediately summoned his attendants, selected a few men, and led the young maid straight to the back gate of the Marquis's residence.

Outside the back gate was a small alley with a dozen or so small courtyards, where the families of the Marquis's stewards and others lived. Granny Sun's nephew also lived here.

Not long after this young man started working at the Marquis's residence, he became addicted to gambling. He would gather a group of people in a small room in the garden at night to throw dice, but when they were discovered, he was kicked out of the residence.

In the courtyard where he stayed, the people dared not offend him too much out of respect for Granny Sun, but they also did not associate with him much.

When the servants arrived with their men, the people in the courtyard were startled by their menacing demeanor.

The woman ran into the house in a panic, while the children cried and hid in all directions.

The servant, his head throbbing from the noise, shouted angrily, then called a man forward and asked, "Where are Sun Zhuzi and Granny Sun? Does anyone know where they are? Call them out quickly!"

The people in the courtyard looked at each other, none of them knowing.

The servant was annoyed and pressed, "It's the master who wants to question Granny Sun and Sun Zhuzi. You must bring them out quickly, otherwise, if we delay important matters, no one can bear the blame if the master finds out!"

A man mustered his courage and said, "Sun Zhuzi appears and disappears like a ghost every day, and no one can catch a glimpse of him."

"Moreover, it seems he didn't come back last night, and we didn't see Granny Sun either!"

One of the children, quite bold, suddenly poked his head out from behind his mother and shouted, "I know! Granny Sun ran out, and I accidentally bumped into her. She even called me a brat!"

"Where did she run off to?" the servant hurriedly asked.

The child pointed outside the alley, but he couldn't say exactly where it was.

Having no other option, the servant quickly led his men to give chase.

Unfortunately, Granny Sun had already left, and there was no way they could catch up with her!

What they didn't know was that at this moment, Granny Sun and her nephew had already been tied up and thrown into a carriage, which was being jostled and bumped out of the city.

Sun Zhuzi was beaten black and blue, but Granny Sun was unharmed.

But if someone could see through things, they would definitely be able to see her bluish-purple intestines...

Just now, she overheard someone bringing a message saying that her nephew had his leg broken by thugs at the casino because he owed money, and he urgently needed her to save his life.

She rushed out of the mansion, only to find that the casino didn't want any money at all, and simply knocked her and her nephew unconscious!

When they woke up again, they were in this carriage.

A young manager sat at the back of the car, guarding the door, preventing her from rolling off even if she wanted to.

She struggled and sobbed frantically, but unfortunately, her mouth was stuffed with rags, and she couldn't utter a single word.

The young manager was none other than Zheng He.

Perhaps seeing that Granny Sun's eyes were about to pop out, he took pity on her and said a few words of advice, "Old lady, please stop struggling!"

"You should use this energy to think about what wicked things you've done. Confess early during the interrogation so you can avoid getting beaten up."

Unfortunately, Granny Sun wouldn't listen to advice and struggled more and more violently, eventually spitting out the rag from her mouth!

She gagged twice and immediately shouted, "I'm from the Marquis of Jiangning's residence! Let me go! How much silver do you want? I'll give it to you!"

Unfortunately, Zheng He casually put the rag back, even stuffing it in again and again.

Granny Sun almost choked and suffocated.

Having finally caught her breath, she heard Zheng He say, "We've got you in our sights, Granny Sun, Madam Wu's personal maid."

"Also, let me tell you something else: we're not from the casino. Our family name is Li, the Li family of Suijintan!"

The Li family?!

Granny Sun gasped, realizing everything in her heart...

In the courtyard of the Li family in the new village, Old Lady Li was playing with Xingxing and Yueya'er.

The two children, dressed like cotton balls, were chubby and running around, looking very cute.

Granny Chang stood guard by his side, lending a hand from time to time.

Wan'er and Wenjuan sat in the room, sewing some small items for the child.

Since the family bought maids and servants, they have had people around to help them, so they no longer have to do eye-tiring work like making clothes and shoes.

Wenjuan would frequently crane her neck to look into the yard, afraid of tiring the old lady.

Wan'er gently patted her sleeping son and whispered to comfort him, "Wenjuan, don't worry."

"I asked my grandmother to help look after the children because I saw that she was worried about my younger sister who had gone to the city. She didn't eat much for lunch."

Wenjuan blushed and replied, "I know, but I always feel uneasy when Grandma is looking after the child and we're sitting inside."

Wan'er glanced at the sun and said, "Don't worry, my sister and the others should be back soon!"

Before the words had even finished, a servant came running back from outside, "Madam, the princess and the others have returned!"

Fourth update! I won't post what I owed yesterday, I kept my word. It's just that the update was late, and I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I'll definitely update earlier next time! Hugs and love!
