Pan Bufeng bowed: "As you wish!"
Zhao Huan waved his hand: "You can leave first, Zheng Xian stay."
After Pan Bufeng left, Zhao Huan said to Zheng Xian, "Send someone to keep a close watch on the Prince Consort's residence. Report any unusual activity immediately!"
Zheng Xian was startled. Although he didn't know the reason, he dared not neglect the emperor's order and hurriedly bowed to accept it.
Linghu Yunlong was particularly surprised. With his skills, he actually let the mother and her two children escape. This was something he had never done before.
In fact, Linghu Yunlong was overthinking it. Although Chenliu was a town, it was actually bigger than a city. It was not easy to find a few people.
As for Qin Shufen, her mother and her two children, they tried to escape from the city several times, but were blocked by Linghu Yunlong in the end. They really couldn't leave or escape.
They didn't dare stay at the inn anymore. The last time Qin Shufen stayed at the inn with her two children, if she hadn't happened to go out to fetch water and saw Linghu Yunlong searching every room, she would have been caught.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Qin Shufen knocked on a door.
"Who is it?" an old lady's voice came from inside. The old lady opened the door and saw the mother and her two children standing at the door: "Is it you?"
Qin Shufen and her two children bowed first: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for the gift of water."
It turned out that at noon, the old woman felt sorry for Qin Shufen and her son and gave them a bowl of water.
The old woman's expression softened. "This is nothing. It's so late. Why don't you go home?"
Qin Shufen took out a piece of broken silver from her bosom, which was a gift from Zhao Huan and others at that time: "Old lady, we are not locals. We are unfamiliar with this place. We are worried about an orphan and a widow staying in the inn for fear that we will be bullied by bad people. Could you please let us stay for one night? Please take this little silver as an overnight fee." Then she handed the silver to the old lady.
"This..." The old woman hesitated for a moment, then weighed the silver in her hand: "Well, you don't look like bad people, come in quickly."
Qin Shufen bowed again: "Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you, mother-in-law."
The old woman patted her chest and said, "Don't call me mother-in-law. My husband's last name is Wang, so you can just call me Aunt Wang."
Qin Shufen was delighted: "Yes, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang was immediately delighted: "My husband died young, and I have no children. It's been a while since our home has been so lively. I wonder if you haven't eaten yet. Come in quickly, I just made a pot of corn rice."
