Seeing Bai Nuo's solemn expression, Mudan and Shaoyao didn't dare to delay at all. One went to gather people, and the other went to call Lu Ying. Wang Mama felt sorry for Bai Nuo, who was heavily pregnant and injured, and she quickly brought her a chair.
Bai Nuo shook her head. "Don't sit here. Move the chair outside. Second Master is sleeping. Don't wake him!"
Peony and Peony were both very efficient. Bai Nuo and Granny Wang had only been outside for a short time when hundreds of people arrived. Seeing her there, they all became very quiet and lined up according to their rank.
Lu Ying stood at the very front.
Bai Nuo sat in the chair, patting the armrest of the chair idly with her left hand, and asked casually, "Is everyone here?"
Lu Ying glanced back and saw that everyone in charge was nodding at him, so he said, "Everyone is here."
"Good! The main reason I called you here today is to tell you that the murderer who framed Princess Yuru and the master and mistress back then has been found!"
The servants who had been quiet below finally spoke up, and their words caused an uproar. Among them were old people who naturally knew about the Hu family's affairs, and even the newcomers had heard about Princess Yu Ru to some extent.
There used to be a princess here, which was no secret. When Huang Wenbai was in charge, they didn't dare to talk about it, but after Hu Mingmei took over, she didn't forbid it at all and let them ask around freely.
Bai Nuo recounted the secret Hu Mingmei had told her, then asked Lu Ying, "Butler Lu, where is the evidence Second Master gave you?"
Lu Ying always carried the evidence Hu Mingming had given him with her, and Bai Nuo took it out at this moment, saying, "It's right here!"
"Keep it!" Bai Nuo waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn't take it. "Release the evidence today that Huang Wenbai, oh, that is, our old master, murdered the princess and his parents-in-law. Also, announce that the second master has died suddenly!"
This was originally something Hu Mingmei had asked Lu Ying to do; it's unexpected that the couple could think of the same thing. "Yes, I'll take care of it right away!"
Lu Ying turned to leave, but Bai Nuo stopped him, "Be more detailed when presenting evidence!" This meant he should ask the elderly people who were still alive back then. Lu Ying immediately nodded. Although many people were no longer alive, Huang Wenbai didn't dare to be too obvious back then, so there were still quite a few people alive.
After Lu Ying left, Bai Nuo continued to explain her purpose, "The reason I called you here today is not only to let you know about this matter, but also to tell you that from today onwards, the Hu family will no longer have an old master and an old lady. Those two people committed insubordination and attempted to kill the princess. They should have been reported to the authorities for punishment, but Hu Wenbai is, after all, the prince's grandfather, and the prince is willing to spare their lives."
Bai Nuo paused for a moment, then called for Granny Wang, who stood beside her. Bai Nuo asked, "Which courtyard in our family is the quietest, a place where one can enjoy their old age in peace?"
Granny Wang chuckled softly, "Our family has many courtyards like this, but if we're talking about the best and quietest one, then it has to be the plum garden in the northwest corner."
"Alright!" Bai Nuo nodded immediately. "Just from the name, I think this courtyard is nice. Since it's the best and quietest courtyard, then let Uncle let them retire there. All of you, go and help them tidy up. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely!"
Although Bai Nuo spoke very cryptically, they all knew that Bai Nuo was planning to exile the two of them to the frontier. Moreover, they could vent their anger, and Bai Nuo would not only not blame them, but would also reward them.
It's true what they say: when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down. But they can't blame anyone else; they brought this on themselves.
In Huang Wenbai's courtyard, Qian Peilan was in a state of utter despair, screaming all night long, "Husband, Chuan'er is dead! Chuan'er was killed by that bastard!"
She wailed a couple of times and then burst into loud sobs, even though the courtyard was quite large. Strangely, all the servants there heard Qian Peilan's voice.
And it was the kind of thing they shouldn't have heard; they all wished they could shut Qian Peilan up.
"Husband, say something! Chuan'er is dead! Go avenge him!" Qian Peilan grabbed Huang Wenbai's sleeve and shouted.
What's remarkable is that Huang Wenbai didn't say a word. His mind was preoccupied with one question: When did the Hu family acquire such a secret room? Why had he never known about it all these years? And it wasn't like he and Yu Ru hadn't had their good times together, so why didn't she tell him anything?
The image of Huang Haichuan's death had a huge impact on Huang Wenbai. He kept thinking about what Hu Mingmei meant by those words. Was Hu Mingmei just trying to scare him, or did Hu Mingmei really know something?
If Hu Mingmei really knew what happened back then, then...
Just as Huang Wenbai was lost in thought, there was a sudden commotion outside. Before he could react, a group of people rushed in, led by Granny Wang.
Granny Wang's face was very cold. Seeing that the two of them were there, she simply told them the purpose of their visit indifferently, "This servant has come to convey the decree of the Prince and Princess. You two are getting old, and the feng shui of this courtyard is not good. It is hot in summer and cold in winter, so it is not suitable for you to live in. Therefore, we have specially sent this servant to change your courtyard! Someone, help the old master and old lady pack their things!"
"Yes!" came the thunderous reply from the servants.
Of course, it was impossible for hundreds of people to be here, but those who were chosen to do this task were all exceptionally excited, so their voices were by no means weak.
