Chapter 625: Yan Xiaoduan No Longer Goes Hungry
Yan Xiaoduan ate voraciously.
Seeing that he was really hungry, Master Yan Wu forgave the kid.
He had been traveling for nearly a year, and his contact with his family was not close. He only received occasional letters from the head of the family...
It was only occasional, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with not receiving it for half a year.
It was not until he heard that Da Zhou had created firearms with the help of the Yan family that he realized something was wrong and rushed back home.
He heard that the master of the family had become ill because of this brat, and he absolutely didn't believe it. He hurried to the confinement room to see this kid...
I didn't expect that this kid was so miserable and so hungry.
Master Yan Wu had a deep gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Yan Xiaoduan had almost finished his meal, and just as Master Yan Wu was about to talk to him, Yan Feishuang and Master Yan Er arrived.
"Fifth Brother, this is the confinement room. You just rushed in like this. Don't you respect the Yan family rules?" Yan Feishuang asked coldly.
"Master Xing, let me ask you, is there any rule in the Yan family rules that prohibits putting someone in solitary confinement without food?" Master Yan Wu asked bluntly.
Yan Feishuang's face looked very unhappy.
She was in charge of the punishments in the Yan family, and seemed very serious and fair. But in fact, the family rules were just a means for her to eliminate dissidents.
Originally, she had the final say in the Yan family, and no one dared to object when she broke the family rules.
However, the reckless Lao Wu dared to refute him.
"Xiaoduan is on a hunger strike." Yan Feishuang said.
"I'm not on a hunger strike. I'm starving to death. No one brings me food." Yan Xiaoduan immediately muttered.
"The servant is negligent." Yan Feishuang said.
"Servants must also abide by the house rules, and the master of punishment must deal with it properly."
Master Yan Wu insisted on being serious, so Yan Feishuang had to deal with a servant who was guarding the confinement room.
"The servants have handled it. The fifth brother also violated the family rules, so he should be dealt with according to the family rules, right?" Master Yan Er, who was standing next to Yan Feishuang, suddenly spoke.
The head of the Yan family is the third among his brothers, but as a direct descendant, he holds a special status, so no one calls him Third Master; they all call him Patriarch. Second Master Yan is responsible for the Yan family's internal affairs, while First and Fourth Master Yan are responsible for the family business. Second Master Yan holds far more power than First and Fourth Master Yan. Yan Feishuang has courted Second Master Yan, and she has a firm grip on the Yan family.
"Treating into the confinement room without permission, ten strokes of the cane." Yan Feishuang said.
Yan Xiaoduan was stunned for a moment, feeling sorry for his fifth uncle. Just as he was about to speak...
Master Yan Wu threw himself on the bench outside and said, "Fight."
Master Yan Wu wailed as he was punished with ten strokes of the cane. He looked at some tightly closed solitary confinement rooms and limped out...
"Old Five, where are you going?" asked Master Yan. "Big Brother and Old Four are at home. Do you want to go see them?"
"They are not busy with business, but just eating at home?" Master Yan Wu asked in surprise.
The eldest and fourth brothers are in charge of the family business and are often busy away from home, but now they are all back...
"We are busy all year round, so we need to take a break. Lao Wu, you have just been punished, so you should stop running around and go back to your place to have a good rest." said Master Yan Er.
Master Yan Wu looked at him and said, "Second brother, are you going to put me under house arrest?"
Master Yan: "..."
He guessed that Lao Wu was going to look for the head of the family, and that was indeed what he meant, but when it was pointed out directly, he still felt embarrassed.
Master Yan Wu looked at Master Yan Er's embarrassed expression and sneered in his heart. He had already done it, but he refused to let anyone know. How hypocritical.
"Fifth Brother, that's not what your second brother meant." Yan Feishuang said with a cold face.
"Then I want to go see the head of the family." said Master Wu Yan.
Yan Feishuang nodded.
Master Yan Wu then limped away.
Watching his figure walk away, Master Yan frowned.
"Feishhuang, why let him go see the head of the family? This kid is smart, so you can't guarantee that he won't see something. It's better to have less trouble than more." said Master Yan.
He had always been ambitious, but was afraid of the Patriarch and didn't dare to do anything. Now that the Patriarch was in a coma and didn't have much time left, he felt that he had to be more cautious.
I'm afraid he won't be able to rest assured until the head of the family dies.
"The head of the family won't live long. The key to the storehouse must be given to someone. That person is either Yan Xiaoduan or Old Five." Yan Feishuang said, "I think Old Five is more likely. It just so happens that Old Five has returned at this time."
Master Yan immediately understood her intention and asked Lao Wu to meet the head of the family. If the key was really given to Lao Wu, then they would be in a situation where the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind!
Master Yan Er showed an admiring expression towards Yan Feishuang.
However, Lao Wu is really short-sighted. He still stands on the side of the head of the family at this time. When the head of the family dies, he and Feishuang will take control of the Yan family. Lao Wu will definitely not have a good ending!
He looks quite smart, but he is not as aware of current affairs as the eldest and the fourth.
Master Yan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Feishhuang, let's deal with the two little guys from the dungeon. Don't keep them if they're useless."
Yan Feishuang nodded.
Master Yan Wu went to see the head of the family. When he saw the weak head of the family, he knew that the situation of the Yan family was very bad, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
"They used Xiao Duan to force me to hand over the key, saying that they would not give Xiao Duan food until I handed it over. I really don't know where the key is." Mrs. Yan said with tears.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't let Xiaoduan starve." Master Yan Wu promised.
Mrs. Yan breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that her son would starve to death. After hearing her brother-in-law's words, she felt relieved.
She was cautious and did not tell Master Yan Wu that the master of the family could be saved.
She felt that Master Yan Wu could be trusted, but it was still better to be cautious.
She is stupid and cannot judge people's hearts, so she can only adopt the most conservative plan.
Seeing Master Yan Wu's face full of worry, Mrs. Yan felt a little guilty.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will think of a way. The head of the family will definitely get better." said Master Yan Wu.
Mrs. Yan nodded and sent Master Yan Wu out the door.
In the dungeon.
Tang Li and Doctor Su both closed their eyes and rested, waiting for the night to come.
Tang Li actually felt that this was not a long-term solution. Yan Feishuang locked them up here and didn't give them food, obviously wanting to starve them to death.
Even if they were not found to have disappeared from the dungeon, the fact that they were still alive and not starved to death was obviously problematic.
She had to find a way to make them disappear from the dungeon so that no one would think they left through the secret passage...
As long as this prison is no longer a secret room!
Windows... The dungeon has no windows.
Then we can only go through the main door.
Tang Li walked to the door of the cell and looked out.
The dungeon was empty, with only the two of them imprisoned, and no one was guarding it. She remembered that when she was captured that day... there should have been two guards at the door.
Of course, the biggest problem she faces now is not the guards, but the lock on the cell door.
Tang Li looked at the lock, made of metal, and she couldn't open it at all...
Just when Tangli was worried, he suddenly heard light footsteps.
