Chapter 83 The Assassin is in the Earl of Enping's Mansion
Min Qiaoshi explained to him earnestly: "Yan Jin's parents, siblings and all his servants are dead. Theoretically, everyone in the Enping Earl's Mansion is now loyal to Yan Jin."
After hearing what Min Qiaoshi said, Uncle Wu suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times to Min Qiaoshi.
"Madam, please save my young lady! Please save my young lady!"
Min Qiaoshi had already guessed something, but Su Rongrong was still completely clueless.
She looked in astonishment in the direction of Uncle Wu. Although she couldn't see anything, it didn't stop her from looking in the direction of the sound.
"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about? Hasn't Brother Yan already become the Earl of Enping? Aren't our enemies already dead?"
"We are Brother Yan's saviors! He's looking for us now to repay us! Why do you still need Madam to save us?"
The innocent and kind-hearted Su Rongrong was filled with doubt and confusion.
Looking at Su Rongrong like this, Uncle Wu remained silent for a long time before finally steeling himself and shattering Su Rongrong's illusions.
He said, "The steward of the Enping Earl's Mansion that I met today is the same person who led men to kill the young lady's entire family!"
Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in the eyes of both Madam Min Qiao and Wei Jia. No wonder Uncle Wu reacted so strongly when he saw that person from the Enping Marquis's residence.
If the person sent to exterminate the entire Su family was Yan Jin, then everything makes sense.
Silencing someone is to prevent the news that you are still alive from spreading.
Given Yan Jin's fall from the cliff, it was impossible for Yang Yuhui and his wife not to send people to search for the body, or even to stop people from searching for the "person." Even if it was just to save face, they would mobilize the entire county's population to search for the person.
After all, Uncle Wu also said that when they left Enping County, the Enping Earl's Mansion was making a big fuss about finding people.
Secondly, the fact that Uncle Wu and Su Rongrong were able to escape unscathed was probably intentionally orchestrated by Yan Jin.
After all, Su Rongrong had genuinely saved his life. As long as he wasn't completely deranged, he wouldn't kill Su Rongrong along with him.
Therefore, it's more accurate to say that Su Rongrong saved Uncle Wu's life than Uncle Wu saved Su Rongrong's life.
Finally, it was probably within Yan Jin's expectations that Uncle Wu and Su Rongrong would misunderstand that the matter was Yang Yuhui and his wife's doing.
Faced with the powerful Enping Earl's Mansion, Wu Bo and Su Rongrong could do nothing and had no choice but to flee Enping County to save their lives.
Once he has dealt with Yang Yuhui and the others, and then finds Su Rongrong, he might be able to use the excuse of repaying a life-saving debt to form a good marriage.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Wu Bo actually recognized the people from the Enping Earl's Mansion as the assassins who massacred the Su family that night.
Of course, these were all just speculations by Min Qiao Shi herself; she did not say them aloud.
After all, these are just her guesses and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Moreover, since it's ultimately a matter between Su Rongrong and the Earl of Enping, it's best for her, as an outsider, not to interfere, lest she find herself in a difficult position and easily get herself into trouble.
Madam Zheng was right; Earl Yan Jin of Enping is no pushover! She'd better not provoke him!
Min Qiao's thoughts raced, but it was all over in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Uncle Wu finished speaking, Su Rongrong stared wide-eyed in shock. After a moment, she asked incredulously, "How is this possible?! Uncle Wu, are you mistaken? How could Brother Yan send someone to kill my whole family?"
"You must be mistaken!"
"It was so dark that night, and everyone who came was masked. How could you possibly recognize who they were?"
"Besides, Uncle Wu, didn't you come to see me very early that night? How could you have seen those assassins?"
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Su Rongrong clearly didn't believe Uncle Wu's words.
She preferred to believe that Uncle Wu was frightened by what happened that night and assumed everyone from the Enping Marquis's residence was a bad person, rather than believe that the person she had saved would repay kindness with enmity and send people to kill her entire family!
“Miss, I’m not mistaken! Although I haven’t seen what that person looks like, I remember his voice! I heard it clearly when I passed by him earlier, and I also heard his voice in the assassin’s video that night.”
Wu Bo spoke with absolute certainty, clearly demonstrating that he was fully confident in his judgment.
However, Su Rongrong still refused to believe it.
She shook her head frantically, stood up, and stumbled as she tried to run outside.
"I don't believe it! I'm going to the Earl of Enping's mansion, I'm going to find Young Master Yan, I'm going to ask him personally if he sent people to kill my whole family! I'm going to ask him if I made a mistake in saving him!"
"Miss!" Uncle Wu hurriedly got up to help her, but Su Rongrong pushed him away.
"Rongrong, be careful!" Wei Jia quickly stepped forward to help her. "Don't rush, let's talk things out slowly. The Grand Madam is still here. If you act impulsively like this, won't you be putting her in a difficult position?"
Su Rongrong listened to Wei Jia's words.
She took Wei Jia's hand, turned around, guessed the direction of Min Qiao Shi, knelt down on the spot, and cried, "Madam, I'm sorry, Rongrong has caused you trouble."
“The Grand Madam has already taken good care of Rongrong these days, so Rongrong shouldn’t make any more requests. But Rongrong still wants to ask the Grand Madam to send someone to take me to the Earl of Enping’s residence, considering that Rongrong is blind and unable to walk.”
Although she didn't name names, her words clearly implied that she hoped Wei Jia would take her to the neighbor's house.
She no longer trusted Uncle Wu, and even less did she believe he would take her to find Yan Jin. Therefore, she had no choice but to turn to Madam Min for help.
Wei Jia was also having a terrible headache at this moment.
Putting aside the question of whether sending Su Rongrong to the Enping Marquis's residence is like sending a lamb to the slaughter, given her current status, if she were to send Su Rongrong there, she couldn't escape the connection with the Grand Madam, no matter what.
If things don't go well, it will eventually implicate the old lady.
But if Su Rongrong isn't sent to the Enping Marquis's residence, given her current condition, she'd probably crawl all the way to the next house herself!
Just when Wei Jia was in dire straits, Madam Min Qiao spoke up.
"Fine, since you're so eager for an answer, I'll bring the person over for you."
Madam Min smiled helplessly and explained, "Wei Jia treats you like a younger sister, and I can't just watch you seek your own death. With me here, whatever happens, I can save your life for now."
"Thank you, Madam!" Su Rongrong, Wei Jia, and Uncle Wu thanked Madam Min Qiao almost in unison.
Just as Madam Min Qiao said, with Madam Min Qiao around, the people of the Enping Earl's Mansion would be somewhat wary. Even if they had murderous intentions, they wouldn't dare to make a move at the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion.
Once things are cleared up, if it's really as Uncle Wu guessed, then she'll find a way to secretly send the person away.
However, Min Qiaoshi felt that things were unlikely to develop in the worst possible way.
Otherwise, the Earl of Enping would not have allowed Su Rongrong and Uncle Wu to leave Enping County alive.
