Raindrops pattered on the ground at night, and the stench of the soil seeped into the sleepers through the cracks.
This kind of weather is perfect for sleeping in, but a piercing scream woke Zhen Wanwan up.
A-Yue immediately rushed into the room to protect Zhen Wanwan and her two children.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Mama and Cui Jinyi entered her room one after the other.
The maids had already lit the lamps, and the room was brightly lit, making it easy to see everyone's faces.
It was easy to see that everyone looked very serious.
Zhen Wanwan looked at A Yue, who nodded knowingly, and then went out to find out what was going on.
Cui Jinyi frowned, her face grim, and muttered, "My lady, these people wouldn't be..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Zhen Wanwan understood what she meant.
Cui Jinyi was worried that her whereabouts would be exposed and those people would come after her.
Zhen Wanwan shook her head, indicating that she shouldn't rush: "We'll talk about everything when Yue comes back!"
Zhen Wanwan gently opened the window and saw that more than a dozen guards and servants had already picked up their weapons and were ready for battle.
She felt a sense of relief. During this sensitive period, Zhen Wanwan was genuinely afraid that those Northern Hu people would sneak into Anqing Prefecture and then come to her place.
She wasn't afraid of them, but these people were ruthless killers, and other civilians would likely suffer.
Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and speculations, their eyes fixed intently on the gate.
Even the two little ones nestled obediently in their mother's arms, secretly praying that nothing bad would happen.
Sweetie's thoughts were the most complicated. She was afraid that it was because of her rebirth that all these problems had occurred.
Although she was still young at this time in her previous life, she knew from reading history books that there was no such thing as the Northern Hu people attacking Anqing Prefecture.
In my past life, under my father's protection, the Northern Hu people were driven away before they could even reach the outskirts of the city.
However, at this time, the Northern Hu people had not only arrived at the city walls, but were also able to cause such trouble.
Although Anqing Prefecture, where her father was in her previous life, was never captured, she was unaware of whether any bandits had entered the city to kill the people.
Sweetie was drooling and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. What if a thief really came in?
She's so young, how can she protect her mother?
Sweetie's heart and eyes are filled with Zhen Wanwan. In her previous life, she didn't know who her biological mother was, nor did she spend a single day with her.
Only in this life did she realize how good and amazing her birth mother was, and how much she loved her mother.
Since her rebirth, so much has happened that Sweetie has always felt insecure, fearing that her mother, who didn't exist in her previous life, will leave her one day.
Zhen Wanwan keenly noticed the change in Tianbao's emotions and her heart skipped a beat. The child was young and was probably frightened.
"Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy's here~"
Zhen Wanwan hugged Tianbao and patted her to comfort her. Seeing Tianbao looking at her pitifully, her heart melted.
Sigh, she should have avoided talking to those two children. Although they are young, they are very intelligent.
They usually listen to what adults say, so this really frightened the children.
The others also realized this and were somewhat frightened. Granny Zhang even stomped her feet and spoke in some unintelligible rural dialect for calling back souls.
Zhen Wanwan couldn't help but laugh at the comical sight, but she sensibly held it back.
"My lady! Someone has arrived outside. They say they were sent by Lü Yunshen and are in a hurry to see you!"
