The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 147 Things are changing

Hearing Wang Shuer's words, the old lady nodded. She turned to Wang Ma and said, "Send a letter to the Marquis and ask him what happened to Cao Zhu!"

Nanny Wang responded respectfully and was about to go downstairs to tell someone to deliver the letter when a tall figure suddenly rushed in and bumped into her!

"Mommy, are you okay?"

The dusty Marquis of Anyang supported Nanny Wang, who had staggered after being knocked down by him, and asked with concern.

"My Lord, you are back! I am fine. My old lady was just about to send someone to deliver a message to you, but I didn't expect you to come back!"

After Nanny Wang stood firm, she bowed to Marquis Anyang.

Seeing the marquis's untidy beard and dark circles under his eyes, it was obvious that he had not been able to rest well during the journey. She hurried downstairs and ordered people to fetch water for the marquis to wash and to arrange meals.

"Mother, my son is back. What message do you want to give him?"

Marquis Anyang knelt down and bowed deeply to the old lady and said.

The old lady hurriedly helped her son up, looked at him distressedly, and said, "Why do you look so haggard? How did the people around you take care of you?"

"Mother, it's none of their business. Your son has something to do, so he came back in a hurry!"

Marquis Anyang sat down next to the old lady and said with a smile.

The old lady could see that her son was in a very good mood. It was the first time she saw her son smile so brightly since Fang Ruo passed away.

"Brother, please eat some snacks first. I can hear your stomach growling with hunger."

At this time, Wang Shuer brought a plate of snacks and placed it in front of Marquis Anyang and said.

Seeing that her brother looked embarrassed but was smiling happily, she thought that nothing serious must have happened to Brother Cao Zhu. She felt relieved and was no longer in a hurry to ask about Cao Zhu's situation. She let her brother rest for a while and eat something first.

"Thank you, Shu'er, mother. You haven't told me yet what message you want to give your son?"

Cao Zhu thanked Wang Shuer, ate a piece of dessert, and then asked the old lady in confusion.

The old lady then told the story of what Cao Zhu had sent people to do in the capital.

"What does Cao Zhu want to do?"

After hearing this, Marquis Anyang looked at his mother in shock.

"Jing'er, when you went to see Cao Zhu, didn't he reveal anything to you? Is everything normal on his end?"

The old lady poured a cup of tea for her son and asked.

"Now that the Regent is in charge, the army has an adequate supply of food and weapons. Cao Zhu is very happy and is training the troops with great enthusiasm. Don't you see anything unusual?"

Marquis Anyang held his chin and replied with a frown.

"Forget it, as long as he is doing well, I will ask him why he suddenly turned against the General's Mansion when I see him again. By the way, Jing'er, you are in a hurry to come back, is there something important you want to do?"

Hearing his mother's words, Cao Zhu waved his hand and asked all the servants in the room to retreat. He also asked Nanny Wang, who had just brought warm water into the room, to guard the door and not let anyone approach.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly sat up straight and looked at her son seriously, as if he had something important to say.

Wang Shuer also tactfully retreated, saying that she would personally make the lion's head dish that her brother loved to eat.

When only the mother and son were left in the room, Marquis Anyang whispered something in the old lady's ear.

"What? Jing'er, did you see it clearly?"

The old lady was so shocked that she stood up and looked at her son, saying in disbelief.

Anyang Hou smiled and helped his mother sit down, saying, "Mother, I saw it very clearly and I can't be wrong."

"Jing'er, what do you want? Now, you two have started families!"

Seeing his mother looking at him with a worried look on her face, Anyang Hou sighed and said, "Mother, what are you thinking about? I don't want to do anything to Fang Ruo. I am very satisfied to see her again and know that she is still alive. Now I just want to secretly send someone to protect her and find out what happened back then."

"Grandma, grandma, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter. Daddy is actually going to punish her by making her face the wall for a month just for a stranger!"

At this time, Wang Siruo's crying and shouting came from outside.

Then, Nanny Wang whispered, "Miss, the old lady and the marquis have something to talk about. Please come back later!"

Hearing his daughter's voice, Marquis Anyang stood up quickly, walked outside quickly, and ordered his men to forcefully pull his daughter away.

"Jing'er, what did this girl Siruo do to make you so angry?"

Seeing that her son looked unhappy, the old lady asked.

So, Marquis Anyang told the old lady how his daughter had forcibly snatched the hairpin from Fangruo and her daughter and how she had insulted her.

"Hey! This girl, her mother has raised her astray. Fortunately, her two brothers are raised by you in the front yard, and their behavior is very good!"

The old man sighed and said.

"Mom, don't worry, I will discipline Siruo strictly and change her temper!"

Hearing her son's words, the old lady shook her head. Her temper was set and it was not so easy to change it.

"Jing'er, are you sure you want to investigate what happened back then? Is it meaningful?"

The old lady looked at her son and asked seriously.

"Mother, I must investigate. Someone must have played a trick and murdered Fangruo. Otherwise, how could she hide in a small mountain village without contacting her family or me?"

Marquis Anyang said in a decisive tone.

"What can you do if you find out?"

The old lady sighed deeply.

"I want to make sure those people get the punishment they deserve! If it weren't for them, how could I have separated from Fang Ruo and married someone else!"

Seeing that her son was determined, the old lady did not continue the topic.

"Jing'er, go wash up, eat something, and have a good sleep! Remember to investigate secretly and don't let anyone know that Fang Ruo is alive, in case of any accidents!"

Marquis Anyang agreed, then got up and went back to his yard to wash and change clothes. He also had food delivered to his yard so that his mother could have a good rest.

Looking at her son's departing back, the old lady said secretly: Jing'er, I hope you don't regret what you did today.

The old lady already understood why Cao Zhu suddenly turned against the General's Mansion. He must have known that Fang Ruo was still alive, and that the brother and sister had recognized each other. He also learned about what happened that year from Fang Ruo.

The person who harmed Fangruo back then must be related to the General's Mansion. If her guess is correct, it must be related to that little Zhao. I just don't know if General Cao knows the inside story.

She now hopes that her daughter-in-law was not involved in what happened back then, otherwise what would Jing'er do!

When Nanny Wang came in, she saw the old lady standing in front of the window, staring at the sky outside in a daze.

"Madam, what are you looking at?"

"The sky is going to change!"

The old lady sighed and asked Nanny Wang to help her lie down on the bed.
