Chapter 81: Who should be saved first, mother or wife?
Chapter 81: Who should be saved first, mother or wife?
Cuizhu stood there in a daze, having never expected such a sudden change to happen.
It was obviously his wife who was assassinated by the man in black, but how could he become the person behind the scenes? This is really unfair.
When Cuizhu wanted to say something, Chu Beiyu had already left with his men, leaving only Su Wan waiting for the doctor to arrive in the main hall.
"County Lady, you clearly knew that it was the old lady's order to let the lady leave first, why did you distort the facts in front of the Marquis!"
"What grudge does my wife have against you that you treat her like this!"
Without Chu Beiyu and others present, Su Wan's face no longer had the previous sadness, and instead there was pride when facing the green bamboo.
"If there is no grudge, then we can't talk about it. How dare you, a lowly servant who doesn't know how to live or die, come and ask this county lady?"
Su Wan's eyes were full of arrogance, and he didn't take Cuizhu seriously at all.
"I warn you that you'd better behave yourself, otherwise when I enter the mansion, the first person I will deal with will be you!"
"This is too much!" Cuizhu said angrily, "County Lady, your words only make me think that what happened today has something to do with you?"
If there really are robbers taking advantage of this to extort money, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to capture both the old lady and the county lady? Why bother keeping the county lady back?
This is all so unreasonable!
"So what? What can you do to me?"
Su Wan didn't expect that a maid would dare to ask her this, and asked arrogantly, "Instead of asking me, you might as well think about whether your master has died now!"
"Tsk, how pitiful."
Su Wan sneered and turned away. Cui Zhu clenched her fists and said, "County Lady, you will be punished."
Until Su Wan's figure walked away, Cuizhu fell to the ground weakly.
Now the Marquis has identified his wife as the culprit behind the kidnapping of the old lady, and with this county lady around, it is likely that his wife will have a hard time getting help.
She must find a way to save her wife.
The desperate Cuizhu suddenly thought of the treasures sent that day, and the matter of the restaurant, and the light in her eyes rekindled.
Your Highness... His Highness the Prince Regent, if he came forward, he would definitely be able to save the lady even without the Marquis.
No matter whether it works or not, she will try it!
"County Master, is our plan this time too risky?"
When Su Wan returned to the Shangshu Mansion, she saw a maid coming forward to greet her.
Su Wan, however, looked very pleased with herself, "This time the plan is only aimed at that bitch. Don't worry, I will still go into the mansion and will not do anything to that old woman."
"But..." Liu'er always felt that something was not right. When she wanted to continue, she saw Su Wan's face darken.
"You'd better keep your mouth shut, or you'll be in trouble!"
She had already made a mistake in the temple matter, and she would not allow any more mistakes to happen!
"Who did my sister just say she was going to give a hard time to?"
Su Wan was startled and saw Su Yun standing there. It was obvious from his eyes that he had heard what she said next.
"It's just a lesson for a maid. Sister, do you want to ask about it too?"
"That's better, Su Wan. Even though you are the county lord, don't forget that what you do represents the Shangshu Mansion!"
"If you do anything bad outside, your father will not let you off easily."
Su Wan raised her head and said, "Sister, you're right. Didn't father say anything about that incident last time?"
……
Regent's Palace.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened to Marquis Pingyuan's wife!"
at the same time.
Ye Qingluo had already dealt with the guards outside and helped Old Madam Chu walk for a distance along the mountain road.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Old Madam Chu leaning against a big tree, shaking her head.
"Qingluo, I really can't walk anymore. Let's rest here for a while."
"Mother, if those people find out that you are missing, they will definitely search the entire mountain. If we don't speed up our journey, it will be difficult to escape once we are besieged."
She could only promise to leave alone, but now the old lady's leg was injured and she was already unable to move around easily. If those people came, no one could guarantee what would happen.
When Madam Chu heard what Ye Qingluo said, her face darkened, "Qingluo, do you think I'm a burden to you?"
"In that case, you go first!"
"I believe Bei Yu will send someone to rescue me!"
Seeing that Madam Chu looked like she had no intention of leaving and heard these words, Ye Qingluo felt extremely helpless.
"Mother, now is not the time to complain..."
"Search quickly! Don't miss any place in this mountain!"
Ye Qingluo was startled by the flickering torches and the sounds of robbers not far away. Had he been discovered so quickly?
"Mother! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
When Madam Chu heard the robber's voice, she panicked instantly and hurriedly urged Ye Qingluo, "Then what are you waiting for? Come and help me."
As Ye Qingluo helped Old Madam Chu up, he heard her cry out.
It was dark at this time and the bamboo forest was silent, so the noise was infinitely magnified.
"Boss, there's movement over there!"
Ye Qingluo was almost speechless. It would be difficult for him to leave now. He had already saved the person, he couldn't just leave him there.
Can only...
"Mother, stay here and don't move. Remember not to make any more noise. I will go and lead those people away."
"Qingluo you..."
Madam Chu was startled, and was deeply moved by Ye Qingluo's words. She grabbed her hand and said, "No, that's too dangerous."
"Qingluo, if you want to leave, let's leave together."
Seeing the footsteps getting closer, Ye Qingluo pried open Madam Chu's hands and knocked her unconscious.
Time is running out!
After settling the people down, he made a noise when he was some distance away from Old Madam Chu.
"There he is!"
"Come on!"
