Su Yao's every move was watched by everyone.
When Zhao Er heard that Su Yao had gone to great lengths to find a child, even sending guards to search everywhere, and even going so far as to offend people in the clan to go out of the city to look for the child, he sneered disdainfully, and even the smile on his face clearly showed his disdain.
"This woman is always good at pretending to be a good person." Zhao Er raised his eyebrows and mocked: "Even if that's the case, what's the use? She's just a woman, what's the use of being capable? Her greatest role is to give birth to children at home. She really thinks she is a big shot!"
But Zhao Er turned around and became happy again: "But it's good that she is so ungrateful. Otherwise, I would have to go to great lengths to find a way to climb up. Where would this ladder to heaven come from? Speaking of which, I have to thank this Crown Prince's Consort for her love of making trouble and seeking fame!"
He drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, threw it aside, and asked, "Why, have you checked everything? Don't mess with me again this time. If anyone makes any mistakes, don't blame me for not recognizing them!"
Damn it, in order to set up this big plan and kill this big fish, he has been a grandson for almost three months, three months! Seeing that it is time to close the net, no matter what, he can't let others pick the peaches.
Everyone below agreed.
After a while, the third old master hurriedly pushed the door open, wiped the sweat from his forehead and told Zhao Er: "Second Master, the Crown Princess has returned from the farm. I saw her enter the ancestral home with my own eyes."
Well, the bird is finally in the cage.
Zhao Erzhi was very proud. Seeing how happy he was, the people around him immediately poured a glass of wine and handed it to him. He took it with his hand, raised the glass with great pride and said to everyone in the room: "Let's drink this glass of wine. Let's all try our best to do our jobs well. If we do well, we can all share the wealth and glory!"
It was gradually getting dark.
The wind, which was not very strong during the day, started to blow again in the evening. This time it was even stronger, and the tree in Su Yao's yard was uprooted. The maid sent by the Wujiabao clan originally brought a lot of oilcloth to give to them, but she was almost crushed by the tree and screamed in fear in the yard.
Mother Shen immediately went out with an umbrella and stood under the porch. She called the girls to go up to the porch from a distance. When she heard that someone was coming to deliver oilcloth, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "You are all soaked. How can you do this? You will get sick if you go back. Come on, change your clothes!"
What she said was sincere and heartfelt, and it was hard for the girls to refuse. In addition, they were indeed soaked to the skin, and when the cold wind blew, they couldn't help sneezing one after another. They couldn't hold it anymore, so they listened to Mother Shen's words and followed her in to change clothes one by one.
After changing clothes, he went out again holding an umbrella.
For fear of getting wet, Mother Shen specially brought out a number of raincoats and covered them tightly from head to toe, and also put on bamboo hats on their heads, so they didn't have to worry about getting wet now.
The guards standing outside the courtyard glanced at the group of girls, but when they saw that their numbers matched, they didn't pay any attention.
It was getting darker, the wind was howling, the rain was pouring, and as I watched the lights in thousands of homes go out one by one, everything was silent.
I don't know where the sudden loud barking of dogs came from.
It was only vague at first, but later, countless dogs started barking wildly, and even the ancestral home was alarmed.
The lights were lit up one by one again, and people kept asking in surprise, "What's going on? Why is there such a big noise?!"
Servants were coming in and out, some lighting lamps, some going out to ask for news, and in a moment the whole house was in motion.
Old Master Wu was also startled. He was old and had difficulty falling asleep. He squinted his eyes and was awakened from a half-sleep state. He was a little dazed. The third master of the Wu family was at home today to discuss matters and did not go out. He simply stayed next to the old man. When he heard the noise, he hurried to the old man's room, called out "Dad" and asked him worriedly, "Are you scared?"
Before Mr. Wu could say anything, the door slammed open again.
The Wu family's steward stood at the door with a pale face, as if he was a ghost who had just climbed out of the water, trembling as he looked at them: "Old Master, Third Master, something happened, the pirates have entered the city!"
What?!
Mr. Wu's face changed drastically, and the third master of the Wu family also asked in a lost voice: "How is it possible?!"
In previous years, pirates and Japanese pirates would take advantage of the high tide to sneak in every year, but Wujiabao was built with high walls, so it was not so easy for them to sneak in, and they usually just looted the surrounding villages and towns.
Besides, the pirates have only been here for a short time this year.
Why is it coming again so soon
Old Master Wu walked out tremblingly with his clothes on, but was held tightly by the steward: "Old Master, you can't go, you must not go! It's a mess outside, pirates have entered the city, and they are all coming towards us! Let's pack up and run!"
Everyone in the family, young and old, is in the ancestral home.
The events of the clan leader back then were enough to make people's scalps tingle when they think about them. When that group of beasts broke in, they killed everyone they saw. The woman's fate was worse than death. If they didn't escape in this situation, the whole family would lose their lives.
Sure enough, as soon as the steward finished speaking, Mr. Wu saw flames rising into the sky outside, accompanied by countless shouts and screams.
He looked at it with a pale face.
The third master of the Wu family hurriedly pulled him: "Dad, let's go! Let's go!"
He just couldn't understand why the pirates in previous years had never been able to break into such a solid high wall. Even if they did break in last time, it was because of a traitor who allowed them to rush in. But this time, not only was it breached silently, but there was not even any news at all.
It was not discovered until everyone entered the ancestral home.
What do those militiamen eat
And those patrols, what are they doing!
But now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent thing is to save his life first. He listened to the footsteps and shouts that were getting closer and closer, and was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He grabbed the old man's arm tightly, trying to drag him away.
Who would have thought that at this time, the old man would still remain calm.
Not only was he not frightened and panicked, he also had no intention of running away. He just looked at the fire and shook his head meaningfully: "Don't worry, don't worry, it won't come to us, nothing serious will happen."
Isn't this going to be a big deal
The third master of the Wu family couldn't believe it. His legs were shaking with fear. Was the old man so angry that he went crazy? !
