Nian Nian pursed her lips, walked to her and sat down next to her. She could only say in a low voice, "Awen is back."
Mrs. Bai quickly grabbed her hand, "What did he say?"
"The Tong family...only Mrs. Tong and a five-year-old young lady are left." In front of Mrs. Liu and the maid, Nian Nian could only pick out the things that everyone knew. She had no idea that Tong Weilin was still alive. I dare not tell them.
Mrs. Bai's hands dropped weakly in an instant. Her eyes were sore and filled with moisture, and she wiped her tears uncomfortably.
"Is it still... is this the result?" She kept praying for good news to come, hoping that the matter was not that serious, but when she heard such a result... her strength seemed to be drained out in an instant.
Nian Nian has been mentally prepared for a long time. If the Jiang family wants to take action, how can it be just a small fight? How could they retreat so easily without killing the masters of the Tong family? It was lucky that Tong Weilin survived.
It is said that there are many black-clothed and masked men in the Tong family. They all have strange faces and look like dead soldiers at first glance.
Ms. Liu was also a little stunned, turned her head, and looked gloomy.
Madam Bai suddenly squeezed Nian Nian's hand, "Who did this? Why did the murderer hit the Tong family so hard? What did he want to do?"
Niannian couldn't say that the Jiang family was going to rebel, for fear of scaring them.
So I could only smile bitterly, "This incident was too sudden. All of us were caught off guard, and we didn't know what the purpose of those people was. We were afraid that it would spread to the Su Guogong Mansion. At present, in addition to finding the murderer as soon as possible, we also We need to strengthen the security of Duke Su's mansion and don't let Xiaoxiao take advantage of it."
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment, as if there was something in Nian Nian's words.
But it was right after thinking about it, so he nodded, "We can't neglect it. Who knows what those people want to do and who they want to attack."
Ms. Liu on the side also had a look of fear on her face when she heard this. She was so shocked that her whole family was wiped out. When she thought about this happening in Su Guogong's mansion, she felt as if the hairs all over her body were standing on end, and she suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
Nian Nian wanted to help Mrs. Bai to rest, but how could she sleep now? She thought of the Tong family, thought of the younger generation who usually came to greet her, thought of Tong Weilin, who was the most lively, and thought of Old Man Tong. She couldn't help but wet her eyes again, leaned on the couch and sobbed softly.
Nian Nian didn't dare to leave. Knowing that Mrs. Bai didn't eat much for lunch, she asked Aunt Yu to prepare some snacks and reluctantly fed her a few mouthfuls.
In the evening, White Sulfur came in.
Although he is carefree on weekdays, he is quite rigorous in doing things at times like this.
His eyebrows were also very solemn, and he came over to speak to Mrs. Bai, "... Now the whole capital is panicked. After all, the Tong family is one of the four major martial arts families. All of them were wiped out, and the small bosses are also worried. Yes, everyone is speculating on who did it, and rumors are spreading everywhere. The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, and the murderer must not be let go."
He said, paused, glanced at Niannian, and then continued, "In the afternoon, another rumor suddenly spread, saying that it was the emperor and the prince who ordered the destruction of the Tong family. After all, the Tong family has a great business and is full of people in the capital. I can’t find anyone who can slaughter Tong’s entire family overnight, except… the royal family.”
"Nonsense." Mrs. Bai shouted angrily, almost getting angry. "The Tong family is the backbone of Tianyu Kingdom. How could the royal family do this? Who is talking nonsense?"
Bai Lijue pursed his lips and continued, "This rumor has its own origins. Although many people said it was nonsense, the Tong family's side branches who came one after another still put pressure on the emperor to find him as soon as possible. The murderer came out. The other three major martial arts families also became suspicious and began to take action, and... they were aimed at the royal family."
It was not easy for Bai Sulfur Jue to find out this. She frowned slightly, thinking that this was the real purpose of the Jiang family.
He destroyed the Tong family, and then united with the other two major families to target the royal family.
Wait until the reputation of the royal family is ruined before carrying out his shameful deeds.
Fortunately for the Lu family, as long as the eldest brother and Beibei come forward, the Lu family's old man and Uncle Lu will believe them. The relationship between Lu Yu and Bai Liuyi is also very good, and they are unlikely to change sides.
But the Huang family... The Huang family is a little unclear. I don't know whether they trust the Jiang family more or trust them more.
After all, the Huang family and the Jiang family seem to be related by marriage. Although this relationship only belongs to ordinary families, the Huang family and the Jiang family have always been close, so it is not easy to figure out.
Wait, in-laws…
Nian Nian seemed to suddenly think of something, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The other people in the room didn't know how many times her mind had been spinning. When Niannian came back to her senses, they heard Liu's hesitant voice, "...the rumors outside have some truth to them. After all, , After all, the Tong family is not an ordinary family. It was destroyed overnight. Besides the emperor and the prince, who else has this ability?"
Nian Nian frowned when she heard this, but Mrs. Bai glared at her, "A woman's kindness."
Ms. Liu opened her mouth but did not dare to speak.
Nian Nian whispered, "If the royal family really wanted to destroy the Tong family, there must be a motive. The Tong family has always been loyal to the royal family, how could the royal family break its own wings? And if this was really done, It’s so easy, how could such rumors spread?”
Mrs. Liu sighed, with some embarrassment on her face, and whispered, "Aren't I just talking casually?" She didn't dare to discuss such things casually, but the rumors outside were indeed somewhat reasonable. .
Mrs. Bai snorted softly and said to Bai Sujue, "You will have to work hard these days. With such a big thing happening, our Su Guogong Mansion cannot take it lightly."
"My grandson understands." Bai Su also nodded and went out to work again.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she was thinking about Tong Weilin in Linyue Pavilion, so she accompanied Mrs. Bai to have dinner and then went back soon.
Wenya stayed by his side. When she saw Niannian, she nodded slightly, "The situation is not bad."
Nian Nian let out a breath, went up to check Tong Weilin's pulse, fed him a life-saving medicine, and then stood up and said, "You have been guarding for the whole day, so let's switch with Mo Piao. You can’t collapse from exhaustion.”
Wen Ya smiled and said, "It's not in the way. It's not really tiring."
While the two were talking, Awen came over and whispered, "Princess, the master is back."
Nian Nian hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out. When she looked up, she saw Bai Suiyi standing in front of her with bloodshot eyes and a tired look.
