Chapter 121 Meeting Aunt Fei on the Road

Peng Wang was in a hurry to get on with his journey, and when he saw them coming back, he started to make arrangements to continue his journey.

After leaving the city gate, Mo Jiuye saw five tall figures standing on the roadside from afar.

Liang Hao and others had changed into ordinary people's clothes. After seeing Mo Jiuye, they nodded at him.

Then he pretended to be a passerby and followed the exile team from a distance.

The team was walking along the official road. When they passed a village, a man suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and stumbled towards the team.

The person who came was an old woman, holding a package in her arms. When she saw someone coming, she shouted, "Help! Someone is robbing me."

Seeing this, Peng Wang waved his hand to signal the team to stop, then looked at the old woman.

The old woman's hair was gray, and her silk clothes had lost their original color, and her eyes were full of fear.

At the same time, several strong men chased after her.

Seeing the person chasing her getting closer and closer, the old woman was frightened and hurriedly hid behind Peng Wang.

"I can pay you money, please save me."

Peng Wang originally didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but when he heard that he could be rewarded for saving people, he was tempted.

So, when those strong men were about to approach the old woman, he led his men to block them.

"In broad daylight, do you really want to die? How dare you commit robbery?"

The burly men all had shifty looks and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

If they meet ordinary passers-by, they can just scare them and no one will dare to interfere.

But the people in front of them were different. They were all wearing official uniforms, which made the strong men instinctively resist.

However, thinking of the package in the old woman's arms, it felt a pity to leave like this.

The burly man in the lead grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"Sir, that old woman is my servant. She took our property and tried to run away. We are here to recover our belongings."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman retorted, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't even know him. How could he have taken away their property?

Also, look at his clothes. He doesn't look like a wealthy man at all, and there's no way his family can afford to keep servants."

Just as the old woman was speaking, the gossipy He Zhiran also pulled Mo Jiuye over to watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, Mo Jiuye recognized the old woman at a glance.

Considering that there were many people here and they were talking a lot, he didn't call anyone.

When he met an acquaintance, he naturally would not stand idly by, especially since this person's identity was rather special.

Therefore, before Peng Wang could speak, Mo Jiuye came in front of several strong men.

"I advise everyone to put aside your inappropriate thoughts and return to where you came from to avoid suffering physical pain."

Hearing this familiar voice, the old woman tightened her grip on the package, intending to take the opportunity to slip away.

He Zhiran also noticed Mo Jiuye's abnormality. Normally, he was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Now that he took the initiative to stand up for an old woman, there must be other hidden reasons.

Therefore, after Mo Jiuye left, she had been keeping an eye on the old woman.

Seeing her turn around and try to slip away, He Zhiran stepped forward and pulled her back, whispering:

"You can't leave yet."

From the voice just now, Nanny Fei confirmed that the person who stood up for her was Mo Jiuye. She suddenly felt guilty and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a beautiful woman he didn't know.

In this situation, she couldn't leave no matter what.

Nanny Fei had no choice but to stand back in her original position.

He Zhiran still kept his eyes on her, trying to prevent her from running away.

On Mo Jiuye's side, as soon as he finished speaking, Peng Wang and several officers cooperated very well and took out their whips.

Seeing this, several strong men knew that they could not get any benefits here, so they turned around and ran away.

Seeing the man run away, Mo Jiuye turned around and said to Peng Wang, "Brother Peng, this old lady is an acquaintance. I want to talk to her alone."

Peng Wang had no doubts. He had guessed what was going on based on Mo Jiuye's nosy attitude just now.

"Okay, you guys talk while you walk."

Mo Jiuye thanked Peng Wang, and he and He Zhiran took Nanny Fei to one side of the team.

Nanny Fei avoided looking at Mo Jiuye directly.

It wasn't until they had put some distance between themselves and the exile group that Mo Jiuye asked, "Why is Aunt Fei here?"

Nanny Fei tried hard to control her emotions and said with her head down, "This gentleman may have recognized the wrong person. I am not Nanny Fei."

Mo Jiuye often saw this Aunt Fei when he was a child. How could he have made a mistake?

"Madam Fei, do you have something to hide?"

Nanny Fei was still stubborn: "Thank you for saving my life, young master. You really have the wrong person."

As she spoke, she opened the package in her arms and took out some women's jewelry and handed it to her.

"I am grateful for your life-saving grace, and this is my token of gratitude. I have something urgent to attend to, so I will not disturb you any further."

After saying this, Nanny Fei turned around and was about to leave.

It was still He Zhiran who blocked her way first.

Nanny Fei knew in her heart that she would not be able to get away with it today, so she could only turn around and face Mo Jiuye without pretending anymore.

"My Lord, I escaped from the palace. I am truly ashamed to be seen in such a miserable state by you."

Mo Jiuye has always had a good impression of the people in Concubine Yuan's palace, especially Concubine Yuan's two personal maids, who treated him the same way as they treated Nan Qi.

What he was thinking now was that since Nanny Fei said that she had escaped from the palace, it meant that something had happened to Concubine Yuan.

And this matter must be related to Nan Qi.

Therefore, he had to find out the truth today no matter what.

In order not to get too far away from the main group, Mo Jiuye pulled Nanny Fei and planned to ask while walking.

"Madam Fei, is the Imperial Concubine in trouble?"

Nanny Fei escaped from the palace, encountered countless difficulties and dangers along the way, and almost lost her life.

She even thought several times whether the secrets she knew would be buried in the earth along with her death.

Now that she met Mo Jiuye, Nanny Fei seemed to see a glimmer of hope to survive. She gritted her teeth and decided to tell Mo Jiuye what she knew.

In this way, even if she is buried, she will have no regrets.

Before telling the secret in her heart, Nanny Fei subconsciously glanced at He Zhiran.

Mo Jiuye explained: "Don't worry, Madam Fei, my wife is one of us."

Nanny Fei looked He Zhiran over and then said:

"I did something wrong back then, and now I am being punished for it."

Upon hearing this, the first thing Mo Jiuye thought of was that Nan Qi had been swapped.

"Is what Madam Fei said related to Prince Qi?"

Nanny Fei was shocked.

"Does the Duke know about this?"

Mo Jiuye had no intention of hiding this.

"Nan Qi once sent someone to assassinate me. Later, when he passed through Pingyuan County, he took the initiative to invite me to a restaurant and poisoned my wine..."
