Chapter 133 The Officials Arrive
Nanny Fang felt her wrist being held so hard that it hurt, but as she was just a servant, she dared not complain and could only endure it: "I understand now."
Su Chenyu let go after hearing her say that. Nanny Fang didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore and stepped aside to watch.
Seeing that no one came to help her, the old lady had to soften her attitude: "Then you should pay more attention to this matter."
Bai Yanqing let go of the old lady: "Don't worry, my grandson will definitely get your wife back for you."
"With the princess and her husband here, we can all rest assured."
"Why did Concubine Song send such a screen? If it weren't for the princess, wouldn't the old lady have suffered a loss?"
"This old lady was so kind to Concubine Song before, but she gave this screen to the old lady. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"
…
The old lady listened to these people's discussions and felt very angry, but she had no place to vent her anger.
She knew exactly what happened, but how could she possibly say that she had swapped the birthday gifts?
Yao came out to take charge of the situation: "No one expected what happened just now. There is nothing to say now, so let's not talk about it. Today, the chef of the mansion has prepared many kinds of snacks. Everyone come and try them. How do these snacks taste?"
As soon as Yao finished speaking, the servants in the mansion immediately brought up the snacks.
Upon seeing this, everyone stopped talking about the screen and stopped talking about the matter.
Just as everyone was eating snacks and drinking tea, the housekeeper rushed in again, with panic in his eyes: "Old Madam, it's too late."
Hearing this, the old lady frowned: "What's wrong?"
"The officials are here."
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, a group of officials came in. They made way for them and the prefect of Jingzhao, Mr. Tan, came over and said, "This subordinate greets the princess and her husband."
He came up and greeted Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing first, giving them enough face.
Lord Tan personally came out to arrest people today, obviously taking into consideration the identities of Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing. It is also enough to imagine that the person he wants to arrest is not an ordinary person.
"Master Tan brought people here today. Is there something wrong?" Su Chenyu asked.
Lord Tan waved his hand, and the officers brought up two people. When the old lady saw them, her pupils shrank slightly. How could they still be alive?
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and began to cry: "Sir, you have to make a decision for my father and me. My wife's surname is He, and everyone calls her Aunt He. She has always worked for the old lady of the Bai family. She used to work in the medicine store, and later left the medicine store to find the old lady. I didn't expect that after meeting the old lady, she never came back, and someone has been trying to kill us."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
Nanny Fang was furious: "Are you saying that the old lady wants to kill you?"
"It's hard, isn't it? My wife has worked for you for so many years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. How could you kill her, old lady?"
The old lady asked unhappily, "Since Aunt He has done things for me for so many years, why should I kill her?"
