Chapter 281 Chickens and Ducks Kill the Thieves
The servant bowed his head and quickly replied, "Yes, Princess."
This woman in pink is the daughter of the eldest princess of the Northern Di Kingdom. She was made a county princess because she was deeply favored by the princess.
She grew up with Wei Xun, but because she was too willful, Wei Xun never liked her. However, the princess insisted on clinging to him.
In the past, Wei Xun kept a white cat, which he often played with in his hands.
When the princess found out, she personally caught the cat, made it into a soup, and sent it to Wei Xun.
Later, when the two of them grew a little older, Wei Xun glanced at a passing palace maid by chance, and the princess burned the maid's face with iron, cut off her limbs, and left her in the garden that Wei Xun usually passed by.
This terrified Wei Xun, and he subsequently developed a deep dislike for her.
But this still did not stop her from wanting to marry him.
The princess had long ago requested an imperial decree from the king to grant them a marriage.
However, Wei Xun was not satisfied with the marriage. After his resistance failed, he ran away and that's how he met Lady Wu.
This time, the princess finally managed to find out his whereabouts, only to find that he had already married and had children. She was filled with resentment and wished she could tear Lady Wu and the child to pieces.
The servant received her order and secretly came to the Zhou family the next day.
The Zhou family was busy feeding Wu Niangzi her medicine.
After taking the medicine prepared by Du Wanchun for one day, the poison was basically neutralized.
Xiao Qing'er can eat rice porridge and rice cereal cooked by Granny Zhuang just like normal children.
Now that it's cold, Aunt Zhou added a few more basins of charcoal fire inside the house, and soon Madam Wu will be able to get out of bed and walk again.
The servant was wandering around outside the door with three or four young servants.
After circling around, the group secretly arrived at the back door of the Zhou family's house.
The back door of the Zhou family's house connects to the yard where they raise chickens and ducks.
As soon as the group arrived outside, the chickens and ducks in the yard started to raise their heads and squawk.
The servant immediately stopped and said to them, "Be careful."
These people all knew how to use light-footed kung fu. After nodding, they stood up and leaped over the high wall.
As soon as they landed, the chickens and ducks all looked up at the wall.
The servants bent over, preparing to go to the kitchen.
Just as they took two steps, the chickens and ducks that were originally gathered in the chicken and duck pens suddenly leaped up and flew away.
"Cluck cluck~"
"Gagaga~"
They fluttered their wings and swooped down at them.
"This chicken?!" The servants were all startled and quickly hid behind them.
But these chickens and ducks were very agile, pecking hard at their eyes and foreheads.
"Ah! My eyes!"
"Ah! My head!"
The servants all brandished their knives and swung them at the chickens and ducks.
But there were just too many of them, and they were all pecking at their eyes.
Hearing the commotion inside, the servant dared not enter. Peeking through the crack in the door, he exclaimed, "Oh my! These chickens and ducks have become spirits!"
The commotion in the backyard alerted Aunt Zhou and Granny Zhuang in the front yard.
“Listen, isn’t there some noise in the backyard?” Granny Zhuang asked, pulling on Aunt Zhou’s arm.
Aunt Zhou quickly stood up. "Oh no, it looks like a thief has broken into the backyard."
The Third Prince and Wei Xun quickly grabbed their swords and, without waiting for Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun to speak, rushed to the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, the servants were already lying on the ground, covered in blood.
The chickens and ducks all held their heads high, as if they were waiting for a reward.
Du Wanchun quickly grabbed a handful of rice and threw it to them.
The chickens and ducks pecked at the rice together, happily eating it.
Aunt Zhou came over and asked in surprise, "Who are these people? Judging from their clothes, they don't seem to be thieves."
Just then, Zhou Ruiyuan returned. He grabbed the servant who was furtively preparing to leave and threw him to the ground. "Mother, there's a living one here."
