Sun Mojin looked at the masked man behind Sun Yun. He drew his sword, knelt down, and stood in front of Sun Ganzheng, making it clear that Sun Ganzheng was also someone he wanted to protect.
Seeing his actions, Sun Yun understood that he wouldn't care if the Sun family members broke their own heads, but if outsiders dared to harm a member of the Sun family, they would have to step over their dead bodies.
The loopholes in the management system are also for the sake of family development, encouraging competition and survival of the fittest.
However, Sun Yun also noticed that Sun Mojin had not followed Sun Ganzheng since childhood, otherwise he would not have only blocked the people behind her at this moment.
That makes things much easier.
She walked to the desk and took down a blank memorial. There was still ink on the dry twig inkstone. She picked up a brush, dipped it in the ink, and began to write on the blank memorial.
Sun Gan wanted to go and see, but was stopped. Soon after, Sun Yun finished writing and blew the ink dry. She said, "Grandfather, you are unwell and request to retire. I hope Your Majesty will grant your request. Your Majesty's grace is boundless. You will be forever grateful and will never forget it."
"You rebellious daughter!" He didn't even need to think that Emperor Mingde, that foolish ruler, would pretend to lament the loss of a virtuous minister, but since the minister was ill, he had no choice but to grant him permission to retire!
Sun Yun didn't respond; there was no point in arguing anymore. He rummaged through the box, pulled out a large seal, stamped it hard, and sat down nearby without leaving, as if waiting for someone.
Wu Liang, who was being waited for by Sun Yun, was currently being stopped at the second courtyard of the Grand Madam's residence. When Sun Yun left earlier, he only took them to the second courtyard and told them to come back in a quarter of an hour.
It has to be said that the timing was perfect. As soon as Sun Yun left, Zhao Shu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and Zhao Bi had just carefully helped the heartbroken Sun Si out of the side room and appeared in the second courtyard.
"How dare you block my path!" Zhao Bi shouted sternly. He was certain that Sun Yun would not dare to kill him, and no one would dare to kill him easily. Emperor Mingde was extremely sensitive at the moment, and no one but him could kill his son.
Wu Liang thought the Fourth Prince was too noisy and that going out like this would definitely cause trouble for the Princess. Last time in Guanzhou, it was because the Fourth Prince let Consort Hao go, which was really frustrating.
Thinking of this, he had a sudden inspiration and said to the people around him, "Go, knock him out."
The subordinate was a young man in his mid-twenties. Perhaps because he naturally had a blank expression, he was stunned when he heard this. "Captain, the Fourth Prince is the Princess's cousin. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Bi had already moved. He pulled out a nunchaku from behind him, and Wu Liang kicked him in the buttocks. The soldiers rushed forward, and before Zhao Bi could even speak, he was knocked unconscious by the nunchaku.
Sun Si was terrified and her face turned pale. She screamed, and the guards struck her with a stick as well. She immediately collapsed onto Zhao Bi.
"Carry them, you little brats. Remember this: the Fourth Prince and his wife were tortured unconscious by the Sun family's wives. It has nothing to do with us," Wu Liang instructed anxiously.
One of his teammates, who seemed to be new and didn't quite understand the rules, asked, "Why?"
The old soldier standing next to him felt sorry for him and earnestly explained, "If you come out here and don't earn some military funds to go back with, Commander Mo will be unhappy."
Wu Liang was too lazy to deal with these bastards, so he had Zhao Bi and the Fourth Prince's Consort carried out of the second courtyard.
Just then, Zhao Shu lost interest in playing, and the group of women screamed in fright, drowning out even Sun Si's earlier shouts, which were unbearable for their eardrums.
Prince Yong's gaze fell on Gu Deyu. Seeing that he was covered in blood and pale-faced, he asked, "Has any medicine been applied?"
Gu Deyu bowed and said, "Your Highness, the wound medicine has been applied."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu turned to look at him, and suddenly pulled Sun Zhongshi in front of him, saying, "One five-hundred-year-old ginseng, two pairs of deer antlers, three lingzhi mushrooms, ten catties each of cordyceps and snow lotus. If my subordinates are not well, you can think about who to ask for your lives in return."
Sun Zhongshi was so angry she vomited blood. Snow lotus isn't sold by the pound! So many precious medicinal herbs, and he's just a mere soldier. His life isn't even as valuable as these herbs!
"Not speaking? Men, search him. The public storehouse belongs to A-Yun, but this private storehouse does not. Once you find the key, search for medicinal herbs. Oh, and don't forget to take some bird's nest and he shou wu. Don't let any seahorses go either. This prefect's son, Xiao Gu, is seriously injured and needs top-quality medicinal herbs to save his life."
Yan Ruyu's eyes widened. Heavens, Princess Jun had come to rob her! How could she not have thought of that? Such a good thing couldn't be left out for her. She hurriedly held her chest and said weakly, "The ladies just now frightened me. My family is so poor that we can't afford the life-saving medicine. Thank you so much for your generosity. I will never forget your great kindness."
After speaking, she waved her little hand repeatedly, signaling her subordinate nanny to follow Wan Dong in searching for the key.
"You robbers!" Old Madam Sun stood firmly at the courtyard gate, thinking she had successfully stalled for time, unaware that Sun Yun was no longer in the courtyard.
At this moment, Wu Liang opened the door from the inside and shouted, "Your Highness, Princess, the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's Consort have fainted."
The ladies of the Sun family were stunned. When did these two go in?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu was delighted to hear such a good thing and knew she had to make the most of it. She quickly feigned sadness and pointed at Old Madam Sun, saying, "In the past, when A-Yun said that my grandmother was unkind and my relatives were unkind, I didn't believe it. How could there be an unkind grandmother and unkind relatives in this world? Now I believe it. My poor imperial brother and sister-in-law have been mistreated to this extent by you. Old Madam Sun, if you don't offer some compensation today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Old Madam Sun, who had acted her whole life, suddenly felt that Zhao Shu was the best actress. Trembling, she pounded the ground with her dragon-headed cane, "Witch! Your people appear in my courtyard, and you still try to turn the tables! So ill-mannered and unruly, could you be the offspring of a whore!"
