It was still eerily quiet all around, but the sky was getting brighter.
The wall protecting the yard was nearly two meters high. Su Wanti could not see the other side of the wall from the door. She could only see the orange-red flames behind the wall.
A circle of fire was gradually shrinking, and the yard where he was was the center.
Su Wanti was more nervous than ever before. All signs indicated that her judgment was correct this time. Someone had found her.
As for who it was, she didn't know.
Possibly the Regent.
She deceived the Regent's feelings and used him as a weapon for her revenge. If he found out that she was still alive, he would hate her to death.
It could also be the eldest princess.
After Su Wanti escaped death, she inquired about the affairs of the capital and the royal family wherever she went, and her grandparents would occasionally pass on news to her.
In these three years, she had never heard of the news of the eldest princess's death. She thought that after the eldest princess was stabbed by He Anping, she must have been saved by the accompanying imperial physician and luckily survived.
Less than a month after that incident, He Anping was sentenced to public beheading by the Dali Temple.
On a cold and gloomy day before New Year's Eve, He Anping was pushed outside the palace wall and beheaded in front of tens of thousands of civilians.
However, given the eldest princess's personality, she would not let it go just because of He Anping's death.
If the princess didn't notice that Su Wanti had escaped, it would be fine. But if she found out that she was still alive and had escaped, she would definitely send people to chase her to the ends of the earth just to take her life.
And the Su family...
Before Su Wanti left, she set a trap and caused all the Su family's shops to go bankrupt.
She also secretly took her mother away and asked her grandparents to pass a message to her father, saying that their daughter was in poor health because of him, and had been bedridden for many years, and finally died of the illness.
He also arranged for his granddaughter to marry into the evil family of the He Mansion, and forced her to set herself on fire.
Now that my daughter and granddaughter are gone, the affection between the two families is gone. From now on, we have severed our ties and have no further contact.
From then on, my grandparents stopped giving large sums of money to the Su family every year.
Over the years, thanks to Su Wanti's financial support and the large amount of money sent by her grandparents, Su's father had become well-off and lived a life of extravagance and debauchery.
Suddenly losing his source of income, the shops and other assets under his name were inexplicably lost. Su's father could only live on a meager salary. He was short of money and his life became difficult.
Accustomed to a luxurious life, Su's father set his sights on stealing government silver. However, after embezzling a hundred or so taels, he was discovered by his superiors, beaten with a stick, dismissed from his official position, and thrown out of the government office.
At this point, Su's father's whereabouts are unknown.
If he were to find out that his wife and daughter were still alive, he would be filled with hatred towards them both and would seek revenge.
The surrounding firelight grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the already dark night sky as if the sky was about to brighten and the sun was rising.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Su Wanti's throat became dry and her heart was about to jump out.
She took a few steps back, closed the door, bolted it, wrapped the chain around it a few more times, and pushed a table in front of the door.
Then he quickly closed and locked every window in the room, leaving only a small window leading to the backyard.
This small window is on the north wall of the main hall.
Suyun also started to panic. She had realized that this time was completely different from the previous dozen times.
The previous dozen or so times were just false alarms, but this time it was real.
Now, she only regretted not listening to the young lady and packing her bags to escape the first time.
She and Chun Xing had moved with the young lady more than a dozen times and were really reluctant to move again. They had also relaxed their vigilance because of the previous dozen or so "false alarms".
But the delay was less than a quarter of an hour, and I couldn't escape even if I wanted to.
"Miss, Chunxing hasn't come back yet. What should we do?" Suyun's face was pale and her voice was trembling.
Su Wanti said, "Looking at the situation outside, the front and back doors are probably blocked. We can only leave secretly."
"There's a dog hole under two bundles of hay at the foot of the west wall. I left that hole on purpose. Let's go through that."
After going through the dog hole, you will reach the chicken coop next to the neighbor's yard wall on the left.
There is a high probability that no one will notice you in this kind of place, so it is not impossible to hide there and then take the opportunity to escape.
Before leaving the yard, she used the firefly pills in the treasure chest to set a fire to divert the attention of the visitors and create chaos.
Then the five of them would have a greater chance of escaping.
"You and I will first protect Mother and Xiao Miaomiao and let them jump through the north window. Then I'll go find Chun Xing. You two will go to the west wall first, find the dog hole, and crawl through it."
"There are two bundles of hay under the west wall. Move the hay away and there is a dog hole underneath. Remember?" Su Wanti looked serious.
Suyun nodded, "I remember."
"Mother, Miaomiao." Su Wanti walked quickly towards the inner room.
It happened that mother Lin was holding little Miaomiao, opened the door curtain, and said with a frown:
"Wan'er, the sky isn't looking right. There's no moon tonight, but it's getting brighter outside the window. I'm so nervous, is anything going to happen?"
A few years ago, her mother, Mrs. Lin, injured her head and has only recently fully recovered. Su Wanti did not dare to tell the truth for fear of scaring her.
Su Wanti forced a smile and pretended to be calm, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay. But we have to move right away. The landlord is pressing us. You and Miaomiao should come with us."
Lin looked doubtful, but although her illness was cured, her thinking and judgment abilities had not yet fully recovered.
"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, she nodded obediently.
