"I only heard the scream of that little maid. The carriage was some distance away. There has been no movement in the carriage where Madam Su and her son were sitting since the little maid screamed. Maybe there is really no one inside." Although the man in black was 70% sure that Su Wenyue and her son were not in the carriage, he could not say it with complete certainty since he did not see it with his own eyes.
"Damn it, there must be something wrong with the half a quarter of an hour they stopped on the way. I was wondering why they had to stop for no reason, but it turns out they were pretending to build a plank road but secretly letting Su Wenyue and her son leave secretly. It must be a trick of that old Su XX, he is really a cunning old fox." The leading man in black said hatefully
"What should we do now, boss? The higher-ups have issued a death order. If we fail to capture Su Wenyue and her son, we will all be punished." Another man in black beside the leading man in black asked worriedly.
"What else can we do? Of course we have to bring Su Wenyue and her son back immediately. What's the point of following these two old guys? We can't use them to get through!" The leader of the men in black said unhappily, his tone full of resentment and impatience.
"But none of us saw if there was anyone in the carriage. We were just basing our decisions on what the little maid said. It's also possible that the old man was trying to trick us and stop me from following him." The mission had failed, and none of them could get away with it, so no one hid anything at this time. They spoke their minds without hiding anything.
"That's not right. What should we do, boss? Why don't we just go all out and get rid of these two old men first?" A man in black said impatiently.
"Shut up! What a stupid idea! The people sent by the higher-ups haven't arrived yet, and we still want to fight them with the little manpower we have. Do you think this old guy is a vegetarian? Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a reputation in the business world. What's more, the Su family was separated from the Bei'an Marquis Mansion. A rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. Although the Su family is just a merchant now, who knows what other tricks they have hidden? By the time the enemy is dealt with, we will have ourselves involved." Although the leader was anxious, he was still rational. He knew that there are things that can and cannot be done. The reinforcements sent by the higher-ups have not arrived yet, and they cannot fight them head-on.
"Should we continue to follow and wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action?"
"That's not necessary. If you want to know whether Su Wenyue and her son are in the carriage, you don't have to fight them head-on. Just send someone to lift the curtain of the carriage and take a look." The leading man in black said as he sent several masters from the team over to cooperate with each other to complete the task.
When Mr. and Mrs. Su saw those people hiding in the dark suddenly make an attack, they immediately prepared for a desperate fight. As a result, those men in black only made a feint, approached the carriage from the east and attacked from the west, lifted the curtain and saw that there was no one in the carriage. They said goodbye to their companions and immediately evacuated.
Although there was a dangerous contact, Mr. and Mrs. Su were not happy. These people were clearly targeting Su Wenyue and her son, so they evacuated so quickly when they saw that Su Wenyue and her son were not in the carriage. They must have turned back to chase someone.
"Master, they must be going after our daughter and grandson. What should we do?" Mrs. Su said anxiously when she saw the men in black retreating.
Master Su was also very worried at this time. He had never thought that he would be exposed so soon. He had wanted to lead the enemy away so that his daughter and grandson would be safe, but such a mistake happened. Thinking of the culprit who caused this result, Master Su's face became serious and he looked at the little maid who caused this result with a stern look.
"Tell me! Who sent you here? Why did you leak the news and deliberately reveal the whereabouts of the Madam, the Young Master and the Young Miss? Don't lie at all. Tell the truth, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The little maidservant was so frightened by Master Su's aura that her body trembled. She felt really wronged. How could she have the courage to accompany the lady?
"Master, please don't misunderstand. I would never dare to betray you. I just followed Madam's orders." The little maid was afraid that Master Su would get angry, so she quickly explained the reason.
"What did you say? Is this what your wife meant?" Mr. Su asked in disbelief. He didn't understand why his daughter did this. Isn't this a joke with her own and her child's safety? But then he understood the reason. He was afraid that his daughter had guessed the danger and didn't want the old couple to be in danger, so she arranged this.
Thinking of this, Mr. Su felt worried and anxious, but also somewhat relieved in his heart. He had quite contradictory emotions. He hoped that his daughter and grandson were well, but he was also glad that his daughter cared about him and his wife. However, he did not want anything to happen to his daughter and grandson no matter what.
"Madam gave me this instruction when she left. I am Madam's servant and I will only follow your instructions in everything."
This little maid's "loyalty" made Master Su really angry and hateful. Looking at the honest and honest girl in front of him, he also understood why his daughter gave such a task to such a little maid.
Mrs. Su also immediately guessed the reason why her daughter did this. She was so worried that tears came to her eyes. She kept wiping her tears, feeling extremely worried and anxious.
"Master, what should we do? Yue Niang has three children with her. She can't possibly be a match for those people. What will happen if she falls into their hands? Our silly daughter! If something happens to her and the children, what's the point of us two old people living?"
Although Master Su was worried, he was a man after all, and was calmer than Madam Su: "Madam, things have come to this point, and there is no point in worrying. So, I will send a few people to take you to the Feng family, and the rest will come with me to rescue my daughter and grandson. Since my daughter has made such an arrangement, there must be a reason. She should be able to hold out for a while until I go to rescue them."
After hearing what Master Su said, the little maid spoke again: "Master, you and Madam cannot go. This is the letter Madam left behind. You will understand after reading it."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"What? Yue Niang also left a letter. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Master Su was really angry this time. He glared at the ignorant maid, snatched the letter that the maid took out of her sleeve, and opened it immediately.
After reading the contents of the letter, Master Su's face changed. Madam Su, who was watching from the side, was extremely anxious and asked hurriedly, "Master, what did my daughter say in the letter?"
Mr. Su no longer had the energy to repeat himself. He gave the letter to his wife dejectedly and asked her to read the contents of the letter herself. How could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter? She was said to be smart, but she could come up with such an idea in such a short time?
