Chapter 53 Marshal, the Madam is here
"Madam, the housekeeper sent me a message saying that something happened at home and asked you to go back first."
The voice of the guard was heard outside the door. Xiao Cui opened the door and understood the situation before reporting to Lin Wanwan.
"Then let's go back. We've been out for quite some time now!"
He threw the half-eaten melon seeds onto the table. It turned out that the storyteller in this teahouse was quite talented.
The stories told were vivid and interesting, and even she, an old bookworm who had read countless novels, felt that she still wanted more.
"Madam, come this way. There's a car waiting for us downstairs!"
Xiao Cui led the way and the few of them quickly left the teahouse.
Shortly after they left, the teahouse was surrounded by Zhang's army.
"Guard them all tightly. Don't let even a fly out."
Zhang Hansheng did not personally participate in this operation, but sent Adjutant Yang instead.
Soon, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the box were captured. After catching the person he wanted, Adjutant Yang led the team away.
Only the panicked guests were left, and they no longer had the heart to continue listening to the story in the teahouse. They packed up their things and left quickly.
This incident helped Zhang Hansheng a lot. That night, he not only sent a box of storybooks to Lin Wanwan, but also bought her a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Several days had passed since this incident, but the chaos in Nanping Prefecture did not stop immediately.
Because of the unrest outside, Lin Wanwan was also ordered to stay at home and not go out.
If she wanted anything, the servants in the mansion would go out and buy it. She was bored staying in the mansion, so she followed the housekeeper and others to learn how to play mahjong.
It took Lin Wanwan several days to go from losing 9 out of 10 games at the beginning to being 50-50 at the end.
What she didn't expect was that the little maid Xiao Cui beside her was the best in the mansion at playing Mahjong.
Even the old fox of the housekeeper is no match for her.
Even though Lin Wanwan has become an expert from a novice, Xiao Cui is still the best at playing Mahjong in the Marshal's Mansion.
Ding!
[Host, Zhang Hansheng and his men have been ambushed and are currently trapped in Xujiawan. Your commander-in-chief has been seriously injured. If you don't take action, he might not be able to return this time.]
That day, Lin Wanwan was playing Mahjong with Xiao Cui and the others when suddenly the anxious voice of 3628 came into her mind.
"What?"
After hearing what the system said, Lin Wanwan exclaimed.
When the others heard the Marshal's wife suddenly shout, they all looked at her strangely.
"Ma'am, is something wrong?"
There is no distinction between big and small at the mahjong table, but Lin Wanwan is the wife of the Marshal after all, and no one dares to really ignore her.
"Someone, go get Doctor Zhang to come to the back door."
"Butler, please find me the key to the car parked in the garage."
Lin Wanwan didn't have time to explain to them. After explaining everything, she quickly returned to her room.
First, she changed out of the complicated women's clothing and put on clothes that were easy to move in.
"Ma'am, what happened? Where are you going?"
When Xiao Cui saw Lin Wanwan's actions, she could only anxiously circle around her, but she could never guess her intentions.
"Something's happened to the Marshal, I have to go and rescue him."
"Xiao Cui, go change into some men's clothes and come with me later. If you're slow, I won't wait for you."
After hearing Lin Wanwan's words, Xiao Cui originally wanted to dissuade her, but seeing that Lin Wanwan was determined, she stopped talking.
He quickly returned to his room, found the set of clothes at the back of the closet, changed as quickly as possible, and rushed to the backyard where the car was parked.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped into the backyard, she saw Lin Wanwan had already driven the car to the door.
"Come up."
Lin Wanwan opened the passenger door and Xiao Cui sat in it immediately.
"Madam, where are you going?"
The housekeeper realized what was happening and followed, looking at the rear of the car anxiously.
"Has Doctor Zhang arrived?"
"I'll take Doctor Zhang out for a bit and will be back soon. Please take care of the house."
"You can secretly prepare some medicine for the wounds. Don't alert outsiders, and don't let anyone know that I'm out."
Lin Wanwan pushed down the brim of her hat, whispered a few words to Butler Zhang, and drove out of the backyard gate.
"Ma'am, where are we going?"
Doctor Zhang was forcibly dragged here by the old housekeeper, and was now trying to pick up his messed-up clothes with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Let's go find the Marshal. If we encounter any danger later, you two just protect yourselves and don't worry about me."
Lin Wanwan drove while giving instructions to the two of them.
"Madam, don't worry. The Marshal sent me to your side because I learned martial arts from my father and brother for several years."
"Xiao Cui, I can not only protect myself, but also you, my lady!"
Lin Wanwan really didn't expect that Xiao Cui looked straightforward on weekdays, but she had never shown any skills.
If it weren't for this sudden situation, Lin Wanwan would probably have to wait a long time before discovering this secret.
"Then I'll leave my life and property in your hands. However, I've learned a few things since I was a child wandering alone. I may not be good at fighting, but I should be able to escape."
"So, if there's an emergency, you need to protect Doctor Zhang and quickly find the Marshal and the others."
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she took out the bag at her feet and handed it to Xiao Cui.
"This bundle contains some Western medicine and food. In addition to protecting Doctor Zhang, you are also responsible for guarding this bundle."
Along the way, they did not encounter any danger until they left the city gate of Nanping Prefecture. However, after leaving Nanping Prefecture, some unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared on the road.
These people were either driving ox carts or walking in groups of three or five. Even an untrained person like Lin Wanwan could tell that they were not ordinary people at all.
"Madam, these people are weird, we have to be careful!"
Xiao Cui also felt a bad feeling in her heart. She stared out the window, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
"Madam, be careful. There is someone blocking the road ahead."
Without Xiao Cui's reminder, Lin Wanwan also saw the scene in front of her.
The two people who were walking in front suddenly fell in the middle of the road.
Although both of them pretended to be unintentional, Lin Wanwan saw murderous intent in their eyes when they looked up.
"court death!"
Just when Doctor Zhang's heart was in his throat and he thought this was going to be bad, Lin Wanwan accelerated and rushed over.
Just when her car was about to hit the people in front, the two people suddenly rolled to the side and avoided it safely.
"They really were pretending. Fortunately, Madam, you didn't fall for it."
Xiao Cui patted her chest with lingering fear. She was afraid that her wife would be too kind and she would definitely suffer.
"It's obvious these people have ulterior motives. I won't gamble my life with them!"
