After hearing her daughter say that she wanted to catch the spy, Mrs. Wu no longer cared about anything happening in Songmingtang.
Follow the daughter's footsteps and leave the courtyard where the mother-in-law lives.
The second wife's mother and daughter turned their heads and watched them leave, with unwillingness in their eyes.
It was a mistake. I didn't expect that after all these years of coaxing her, she would still side with her mother. Before I could even ask for anything, my mother-in-law fainted. It seemed that I had to think of other ways.
On the way back, Wu felt depressed for all these years, but she never expected that one day, she would rely on her daughter and make her mother-in-law run into trouble.
In the past few years, her daughter was very close to the second wife's family.
After observation, I found that no one else could hear my daughter's thoughts.
Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that she could hear her daughter's inner voice must have been the manifestation of her Wu family's ancestors.
"Mom, where is Dad? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Tao Yuwei still hopes that her father will come forward to solve the problem of catching the spy.
It would also be nice to see the second wife's true face, so that people wouldn't think she was the troublemaker.
The Sixth Prince has not given up his plan to marry her and has been secretly planning to plot against her again.
Wu came to her senses and told her, "There was an emergency in the camp outside the capital, and your father was called away at the last minute."
[This is the Sixth Prince's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He sent his eldest cousin to steal Daddy's military token tonight. After he succeeded, he used the token to recruit soldiers and put the blame on Daddy. Daddy was sentenced to be torn into pieces by five horses.]
[This was also the beginning of the decline of the General's Mansion. After Tao Manqing's scheme succeeded, I married into the Sixth Prince's Mansion. However, I was tricked out of my entire dowry and my stewardship. I was also exploited by those people at every turn, and ultimately died by disembowelment.]
After hearing her daughter's thoughts again, Mrs. Wu staggered and almost stepped on a stone.
Tao Yuwei was quick to support Wu in time and said, "Mom, please walk carefully."
She first sent her absent-minded mother back to Qingheyuan, and then led the maid Yunxiao back to her own courtyard.
There were still several hours before midnight, so she gathered her strength and rested for a while.
What Tao Yuwei didn't know was that not long after she left, Wu immediately sent people to the camp outside the capital to look for her husband.
Neither the mother nor the daughter knew that Tao Zhihong had already quietly returned home.
He replaced the military token in the secret compartment of the study, then hid in the dark and waited for the time to come.
Soon after, a dark figure approached the study.
After the figure successfully entered the study, he searched for something in the dark.
After fumbling around for a long time, he finally found the secret compartment and took out something from it. In order to confirm what was in his hand, the other party carefully lit a tinder.
Tao Zhihong, who was hiding in the dark, held his breath. He saw with his own eyes the true face of the person in the light and felt very uncomfortable. His daughter was right. He didn't expect that the person who had ill intentions towards him was actually his own family member.
He watched helplessly as his nephew Tao Baichuan put away the fake military token with a look of surprise, extinguished the fire stick, and quickly left his study.
After everyone left, Tao Zhihong appeared and walked out of the study.
Outside the study, he saw Tao Baichuan knocked unconscious by a punch.
The person who took action was his daughter Tao Yuwei.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Tao Yuwei was very surprised. Didn’t her father already go to the camp outside Beijing?
How come I saw him at home?
Could it be that he noticed something was wrong and rushed back?
Tao Zhihong didn't want his daughter to know that he was reading her inner thoughts, so he was on guard.
"I received the news that your grandmother was ill, so I rushed back."
Tao Yuwei nodded in understanding.
Thanks to my intervention, the old woman couldn't control my mother, so she feigned illness and started looking for my father to complain.
If Dad knew she was colluding with Second Uncle's family to plot against him, he would definitely not respect the old woman anymore.
[As long as I'm here, the second family won't be able to succeed.]
If she were to live her life over again, no one could ruin her good life.
She will show no mercy to anyone who dares to have evil intentions towards her family.
"Dad, I caught a thief. He seemed to have escaped from your study."
After listening quietly to his daughter's thoughts, Tao Zhihong's mood kept fluctuating.
He looked at his daughter's foot on her nephew's back and said softly, "Leave him to me."
Tao Yuwei nodded and went back to rest with peace of mind.
How could her father, a great general who protects the country, be an ordinary person? Maybe he discovered something.
It would be nice if someone took over so that she could have some free time.
She will step in when her family can't handle something.
After watching his daughter leave, Tao Zhihong immediately called a guard to send the unconscious person to Tao Baichuan's room.
After everyone left, a person suddenly appeared next to Tao Zhihong.
"General, why did you let him go so easily?"
The personal guard following him asked his master in confusion.
Tao Zhihong looked up at the distant night sky with a calm expression, "Don't alert the enemy."
If anyone dares to plot against him, Tao Zhihong will make the person behind the scenes pay the price.
As for the second family, let’s use this opportunity to catch those people first.
Over the years, he has been very kind to the second wife's family, but this has only whetted their appetites.
When Tao Zhihong returned to Qingheyuan in the middle of the night, he found his wife sitting at the table and had not yet rested.
After washing up, the two lay down. Mrs. Wu wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she told her husband that she could hear her daughter's thoughts.
Tao Zhihong was very surprised. He didn't expect that he was not the only one and his wife could also hear their daughter's thoughts.
"Madam, who else knows about this?" He sat up suddenly in shock.
Mrs. Wu was calmer than him. "Don't worry, my husband. After observation, I am the only one who can hear it in the mansion for now."
