Chapter 188 An unexpected event



I don't know which string of firecrackers fell to the ground, startling the horses pulling the dowry.

The horse became uncontrollable when it was in a panic, raised its front hooves and neighed in panic.

What was even more bizarre was that flames suddenly burst out from the carriage loaded with quilts and valuables.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and no one dared to step forward, fearing that the Su family would vent their anger on them.

The large dowry items had been delivered to the new house in advance, and what was taken away today were mainly precious jewelry and antique ornaments.

These horses were borrowed from the post station. They were thought to just follow the team and pull the cart, and no accidents would happen. But no one expected the scene to be so chaotic.

Mrs. Su Wang was a little tired from standing. She wanted to wait until the wedding procession left before entering the yard, but she didn't expect this to happen.

The out-of-control horses rushed towards the gate, and everyone fled in all directions, but Su Wangshi could not escape.

The housekeeper and the head maid stood in front of the lady, trying to protect Mrs. Su Wang and the fetus in her belly.

One of the maids didn't know what she was thinking. She ran away at first, but then she probably reacted and rushed back again.

It didn't matter that she pounced, but Su Wangshi lost her balance and almost hit her head on the ground.

Why is it close? Because Han Zeyu was between her and the ground at the critical moment.

Han Zeyu was so angry! He was just a spectator, just watching the fun, how did it develop into a heroic act?

Mrs. Su Wang was more than eight months pregnant and was wearing thick clothes. The weight of more than 100 pounds hit her unexpectedly, and even Han Zeyu could hardly withstand it. He took a step back before he could stabilize his body.

Who the hell did this? He was completely out to get two lives, this guy is really cruel!

Han Zeyu helped Su Wangshi steady herself, rushed out with a quick step, and knocked down the out-of-control horse with one punch. His skillful work was so impressive that it was heartbreaking.

Besides startling a horse or falling into the water, can't they try a new trick? Should they frame, poison, or assassinate him next time?

Ah, bah, bah, bah! His stinky mouth, good things don't work but bad things do, children's words are careless, children's words are careless, from now on he will think about how to practice the Zen of keeping his mouth shut.

The team in front stopped when they heard the commotion. Su Yunsong ran back and breathed a sigh of relief to see that his mother was safe.

As long as the person is fine, the things are not important. I can make up for it if the dowry is gone.

Han Zeyu waved his hand, urging them to go first so as not to miss the auspicious time for the wedding.

The burning carriage was detained, and Han Zeyu kicked it a few times, and the flames were extinguished.

Mrs. Su Wang ordered her servants to pack a cart of valuables for the dowry. Her face was still pale at this moment, but as a mother, she had to be strong and send her daughter off to marry safely.

Su Yunzhu pulled off the red veil and was anxious to lift the curtain of the sedan chair. The nanny who came with the dowry kept trying to dissuade her, asking her not to let the lady down.

Mr. Zhang is an official, and he has a biased old lady at home. It is a big deal to miss the auspicious time for marriage, but he can't let the new daughter-in-law leave a bad impression on the first day she enters the house. How will she live in the future?

Su Yunzhu twisted the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth, and tears rolled down her face.

The sedan chair swayed as it moved forward at a steady speed. Su Yunsong rode his horse to catch up and told his sister through the curtain that everything was fine, their mother was not injured, and the dowry would be sent later.

Although the problem was temporarily solved, the brother and sister were both worried about the situation at home.

Mrs. Su Wang looked at Han Zeyu with a complicated expression for a moment, then composed herself and went back to entertain the ladies and young ladies present.

Han Zeyu ignored Madam Su's gaze and paced back and forth on the road where the accident happened, trying to see if he could find any clues.

Han Zeyu didn't quite believe that today's accident was a coincidence.

Especially the last stroke of genius, in his opinion, it was an attempt to cover up something and the conspiracy was a foregone conclusion.

Su Wanli was chatting and chatting with the guests, completely unaware of what had just happened outside the door.

Looking at him, Mrs. Su Wang curled the corners of her lips in sarcasm. She was so blind that she found such a thing.

I really don't want to have a child with this kind of person. I feel so cheap.

But then she thought again, this child is hers too. Yunsong is studying outside and Yunzhu is married. It would be nice to have a child to accompany her, which is better than facing a scumbag every day.

As soon as the banquet was over, Mrs. Su Wang asked the doctor to take her pulse. She had just been frightened and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

After drinking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, she felt a little sleepy. Su Wangshi asked the housekeeper to prepare a thank-you gift for Han Zeyu, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Han Zeyu accepted the things very happily without even a word of humility. This was his hard work fee and he well deserved it.

Su Shien is funny. They are all yours and no one is competing with you for them.

"The smoke from the Su family's ancestral tomb was truly not in vain, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to ask you to help. Brave and wise hero Han, please tell me what happened back then!"

Han Zeyu received a generous thank-you gift and was delighted to be praised by her husband. She told him excitedly about the emergency that had just happened.

After listening to this, Su Shien also held the same view as Yu Ge'er. This was not an accidental incident, and the dowry in the car would not spontaneously combust without fire.

It is too far-fetched to say that the fire was caused by firecrackers falling on it. It is impossible for the fire to start in such a short time.

The two of them made a very logical analysis and both agreed that there was a traitor in the Su Mansion who was colluding with people outside to cause sabotage.

Mrs. Su Wang was exhausted. After drinking the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep, and her dreams were filled with the scenes that had just happened.

The housekeeper launched an investigation, hoping to find the person behind the scenes as soon as possible.

The first people suspected of wanting to murder the lady were the two concubines, but neither of them was present at the time, and there were dozens of people in the kitchen who could testify.

These two candidates could only be ruled out temporarily. The population in the mansion was simple, with only a few masters. I thought the investigation would be easy to sort out, but I didn't expect to be stuck in a deadlock.

It seems that we still have to start with the rented horses and the firecrackers that caused the incident, and of course the maid with suspicious behavior.

The people around Su Wang are all experienced elders. Now she is pregnant, which is a dangerous time, so the people who serve her closely are all her confidants.

Although this maidservant is not very old, she is a family-born girl and grew up in the mansion, otherwise she would not be able to be with Su Wangshi.

But why is she behaving so strangely?

Here, Su Shinian and his brothers squeezed into a carriage so that they could talk conveniently.

Wang Tong rode in a carriage by himself, and he was still a little dissatisfied. What did he say behind his back? He was still treated as an outsider.

One wrong step leads to another, and Wang Tong’s credibility has plummeted to the bottom. He has a long way to go to get back to the starting point!
