They boarded a carriage and left the city gate, preparing to head to the dock.
At a certain corner, Zhen Wanwan's carriage stopped.
Before she could ask what had happened, she heard Zhenfu talking to someone.
"Little sister! There's an old woman with a child outside who's looking for you!"
An old woman and a child? Could it be Granny Zhang and Yun'er?
Zhen Wanwan quickly lifted the car curtain.
Sure enough, the grandmother and granddaughter dressed as beggars outside were none other than the missing Granny Zhang and Yun'er.
"Granny Zhang! What are you doing here?"
Grandma Li asked in confusion, "Wanwan, didn't you tell them to wait here?"
Oh no! We almost gave ourselves away!
Zhen Wanwan quickly laughed it off: "No! No! I thought they were waiting for us at the dock!"
Grandma Li glanced at Zhen Wanwan and said, "Since we've run into them, let them come up!"
Granny Zhang and Yun'er got into Zhen Wanwan's carriage.
Zhen Wanwan had many questions she wanted to ask, but with Grandma Li still there, she didn't dare to speak.
If she accidentally let something slip, Old Lady Li would probably start crying her eyes out again and nagging about her on the way home.
However, Zhen Wanwan will not take the grandmother and granddaughter away until she has figured out what's going on!
She was truly terrified!
Sweetie had just woken up when she saw Yun'er's familiar face, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Grandma Li exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! Our sweet little one isn't close to anyone except her own mother and me! Why does she like this little girl so much now!"
After the major incident, Yun'er became somewhat self-conscious and introverted, and didn't like to talk.
Granny Zhang smiled gently and said, "Grandma, Miss probably just feels a connection with Yun'er!"
Hearing the respectful address, Old Lady Li was not quite used to it and simply said softly, "Is that so?"
Granny Zhang had already noticed that Zhen Wanwan's expression was off, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to care, she wisely kept quiet.
On the way, Old Lady Li and Granny Zhang chatted casually, with Granny Zhang mostly praising Old Lady Li.
She was so happy that her smile lingered for a long time.
Grandma Li was happy, and Zhen Wanwan didn't make things difficult for Granny Zhang and her granddaughter.
Yun'er and Tianbao'er were also chatting away, talking nonsense, which made the others feel cold and indifferent.
With a horse-drawn carriage, they quickly arrived at the dock.
It was just beginning to get light, and the dock was quiet and deserted, with not a soul in sight.
But everyone felt much more at ease.
They were about to leave by boat, and their hearts were filled with joy.
With Zhang Mama and Yun'er on her mind, Zhen Wanwan led the two to the shore.
"Granny Zhang, where have you been these past two days? When I went there, I saw a lot of soldiers surrounding your house!"
Granny Zhang and Yun'er knelt on the ground without a word, leaving Zhen Wanwan completely bewildered.
She stepped forward, trying to help the person up: "What are you doing! Talk it out, what kind of behavior is this, kneeling like that?"
Granny Zhang insisted on kneeling, and she and Yun'er kowtowed three times to her.
"Madam! Please forgive this. The night you bought us, that man wanted to send someone to kill us to silence us. Fortunately, Yun'er and I disguised ourselves and left the city overnight, preventing him from succeeding."
"I haven't come to see you these past two days because I was afraid that person would see me and cause trouble for Madam and her family!"
Granny Zhang carefully observed Zhen Wanwan's expression, afraid that her private matter with Yun'er might displease her.
She added, "Don't worry! Yun'er and I are hiding very well. No one knows that we left."
After listening to Granny Zhang's explanation, Zhen Wanwan's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Although I worried for two days for no reason, thankfully nothing bad happened.
She helped the person up: "Granny Zhang, please get up first!"
Zhen Wanwan still had some doubts, and was torn between taking Zhang Mama and her granddaughter with her.
The two enemies of Zhang Mama seem to be of high status. If she keeps them here on her own, two bad things are likely to happen in the future.
If the two were discovered, she couldn't guarantee that the person wouldn't assume they were working together.
If they intend to eliminate them completely, then they will all suffer.
The second concern is whether Granny Zhang and her group will seek revenge!
If something goes wrong, will it affect my family?
These are all very serious matters; if things go wrong, the whole family could lose their lives!
She wanted Zhang Mama and Yun'er before, one because Tianbao liked Yun'er, and the other because she saw that Zhang Mama was literate and had worked in a wealthy family.
In the future, as she expands her business, she will have someone worldly-wise and knowledgeable about the rules of this era to help her, so she won't be caught off guard or deceived!
Now that she has already spent money to buy the person, Zhen Wanwan really can't bear to just throw him away!
Thinking of this, Zhen Wanwan sighed and said, "To be honest, Granny Zhang, I have many concerns about your enemies. If you and Yun'er want to take revenge in the future, my small temple cannot accommodate you."
"If you are willing to stay by my side, I will definitely treat you well. If I have the opportunity to seek justice for you in the future, I will definitely help you if I have the ability!"
Seeing that the two of them were listening attentively to her, Zhen Wanwan warned with a serious face, "If I find out that you are plotting revenge in private, then I'm sorry, I will show no mercy!"
Zhang Mama had long suspected Zhen Wanwan's concerns, so when she and Yun'er were hiding from their enemies, she had already decided to give up her desire for revenge.
Their hopes of revenge were slim, so they might as well live a good life with their son's only offspring.
Granny Zhang knelt down again and kowtowed to Zhen Wanwan earnestly, saying sincerely, "Madam! We have long given up on revenge. I only want to live a good life with Yun'er. I haven't thought about anything else!"
Yun'er obediently promised, "Madam, Grandma has already told Yun'er that we will never do anything to harm you, Miss, or Young Master again!"
People in ancient times valued promises, and seeing the two men earnestly swearing oaths to her, Zhen Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, we're all family from now on!"
The three resolved their differences, their relationship instantly improved, and they returned to the car to wait for dawn.
Before long, people began to appear on the dock, and many fishermen who made their living by fishing had already rowed their boats out to sea.
Soon after, boats bound for other prefectures began picking up passengers and boarding.
Zhen Wanwan and the others looked around anxiously, especially Zhen Fugui, who had already paced back and forth on the dock several times.
Fortunately, the important person that Zhen Fugui mentioned yesterday has arrived!
They headed straight for Zhen's carriage!
Zhen Fugui was overjoyed and took the lead in greeting him.
"My lord! My family and I are waiting here!"
The man, dressed in an official robe, nodded slowly and asked somewhat nervously, "May I ask who Lady Zhen is?"
Zhen Fugui stepped aside, revealing Zhen Wanwan's figure.
"Madam! I've finally been waiting for you!"
