Abandoned Wife Heads the House: Farming with Adorable Baby

Chapter 3178 The Secret
Seeing that there was no one around Fang Xin, it was obvious that all his guards were probably sacrificed.

Bai Ruozhu sympathizes with his experience, but this does not mean that she will agree to his request, and one code will be the same.

"So Xue Niang told the attacker that Master Jiang was not in the team? What else did she say?" she asked with a cold face.

One sentence made Fang Xin turn pale. He wanted to hide it or even lie, but when he met Bai Ruozhu's cold eyes, he knew he couldn't hide it.

"She has never seen such a formation before. She is so frightened that she can't speak. Master Bai must not be the same as her." He said bravely.

"That group of people attacked us secretly. They knew Lord Jiang was not here as soon as they arrived. After much deliberation, you were the one who snitched." Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly, "Now we also have casualties. We just want the team to return to Danliang safely. We don't have the time or ability. To save irrelevant people.”

"But..." Fang Xin still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Song Bei who was not far away.

"That woman is dishonest and betrayed us. Her life and death has nothing to do with us. You can go back and find other people for help."

"Even if you don't say it, I know what she will say to that group of people. I'm afraid it will be some bad words, and she will say whatever information she has found out." Bai Ruozhu regretted not killing Xue Niang, "Wanting to save one's life was just an excuse. It’s true that he deliberately leaked information about the team and wanted to kill us.”

Fang Xin still wanted to speak, but Sun Ru hurriedly pulled him back, "Do you also want to be treated as a spy? Stop talking."

Several women who had been friends with Xue Niang before turned pale with fear, especially Mrs. Zhao, who was instigated by Xue Niang. She was afraid that she would also be treated as a spy.

"Fang Xin, if you want to go back with us in the team, I won't chase you away, but don't mention Xue Niang again. Or you can leave by yourself and go home to bring in reinforcements. I'm afraid Xue Niang can live happily without your rescue. You go On the contrary, it ruined her good deeds." Bai Ruozhu looked at Fang Xin and said.

Fang Xin didn't dare to say anything more. Now that all his guards were dead, where could he go alone?

Bai Ruozhu ordered the team to repair where they were, and she went to find Zhong Gui's family.

"Uncle Zhong, what is a shadow puppet?" She remembered Zhong Gui's surprised expression just now, and the man was too fast.

Zhong Gui sighed heavily and said: "The shadow puppet is a secret of the Zhong family. It is not very powerful, but it has been banned."

He slowly started to talk, and it turned out that this related to a past event several generations ago.

"There was once a powerful enemy of the Zhong family who was so powerful that he abducted a child of the Zhong family alive. The child's biological mother was seriously injured in the fight with the powerful enemy and her life was hanging by a thread. At that time, she had a strong obsession in her heart. She couldn’t just die like this to save her child, so she begged her husband to turn her into a puppet.”

"Because the powerful enemy had special Qinggong skills, he caught the child and ran away. Even if the Zhong family knew his whereabouts, it was extremely difficult to catch him. Later, the woman became a shadow puppet. She had no emotions and no pain, but her speed was astonishing. , finally rescued the child."

Bai Ruozhu felt uncomfortable after hearing this. She was also a mother and could understand the mood of that woman back then.

"But..." Zhong Gui sighed again, "After all, she was acting against nature. She had lost human consciousness, and soon she went crazy, hurting several people in the Zhong family, and even beat her husband and children alive. died!"

"What?" This ending shocked Bai Ruozhu. If the woman's soul was still there, she would definitely be in agony.

Zhong Helm shook his head, "No one wants to see this kind of tragedy, but the head of the family of that generation was a lunatic who practiced magic. He re-refined the woman's body and turned her into a more terrifying shadow puppet. It once became the most powerful weapon in his hand." "It's just that later he tried to use dead people to refine the shadow puppet, but it was only extremely fast and not as powerful. Moreover, the shadow puppet had to be made from a member of the Zhong family. He even secretly killed people of the Zhong family for the purpose of experimenting. He once thought that the corpse was not strong enough before death, so he secretly killed an elder."

Zhong Gui continued: "You know that the Zhong family used to offer sacrifices to Tai Sui every few years. His behavior eventually angered other clan members and they were surrounded and suppressed. But he was so powerful at that time that no one could do anything about it. I can't kill him. I don't want the female puppet he controls to go crazy again and kill him."

"After that time, the Zhong family's vitality was severely damaged. The elders discussed and ordered a ban on making puppets, otherwise they would be kicked out of the family. There have been no shadow puppets for several generations. They are probably crazy. They are obviously here for the eldest prince this time. Do they also want to coerce the emperor and order the princes?" Zhong Gui said angrily.

Bai Ruozhu just thought, the remnants of the Zhong family looked very strong, but their target was the eldest prince, so they obviously had the same goal - the same as Xuri.

She was lying when she said she wasn't worried about the eldest prince, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't save him now.

First of all, she is not alone. She also has children, relatives and friends. If she does not return to Danliang, she will not be able to rest at ease.

Secondly, the situation in Feiyan City was unknown. If a large number of Turkic troops really attacked, she would not be able to waste time.

Furthermore, I just want to save him. Where can I find the eldest prince now?
The people of the Zhong family are now homeless and have no fixed abode. That is to say, they have no idea where they will hide. But the only thing they know is that they will definitely return to Gaochang City with the eldest prince. It is just a matter of time.

"Xue Niang was arrested by the Zhong family. She will definitely tell them everything she knows, including what she saw in the horoscope." Bai Ruozhu reminded.

Aosong cursed angrily, "I know she's not a good person, but thinking that an ordinary woman can't make a difference, I really should kill her directly!"

Bai Ruozhu patted her hand, "You can't get angry now. The Zhong family knows about it, but we have to be careful."

"I'm not cautious enough. I'll stay away for a while." Xingxing asked to leave again.

"No! I wasn't worried if you wanted to leave. Now that they know your situation, they won't be able to deal with you. How can you do it by yourself?" Aosong became anxious when he heard this, "If you are afraid of affecting me and the children, , then I’m leaving.”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhong took her arm, "Do you think those old immortals don't want to arrest you? You are now a mother, can you be more mature?"

"Mom, I can't let anything happen to him." Aosong's eyes turned red with grievance.

Bai Ruozhu didn't know what to say about this matter, so she could only let the family discuss it carefully while she arranged for the team to move forward.

Soon the team continued to move forward. Not long after, Jian Qi came to report, "Master, Yinlu asked to see you."

That must have something to do with the eldest prince. She got off the carriage and moved to the carriage containing Yinlu.

"You're not going to save him? Didn't you care about him before?" Yinlu asked angrily.
