Chapter 26 She was shocked at the time

The two strong men were stunned.

Does this little girl know what she is talking about?
Gestures?

Then make gestures.

The one on the right struck first and hit him with one punch. The teenage girl only needed one punch.

But before he showed his confident smile, he felt that his whole body was flying into the air, and the feeling of no solid ground under his feet made him panic for a moment.

Fortunately, it's just an instant.

Because it didn’t take long for him to hit the ground running.

With a snap, his entire back fell to the ground. The feeling of his flesh and blood body colliding with the hard ground made even the dust fly away. He felt as if all the bones in his body were broken.

He groaned and shouted to his companions: "Do it!"

As soon as he finished the sound of hand, a huge black shadow fell on him without warning, accompanied by loud curses from his companions.

The second injury made him only scream in pain. Chu Nanning looked at the two big men who fell into a ball, turned around and left calmly.

Want to take a bite out of her hand?Then she has to be willing.

The reward notice in his sleeve was just lying there.

Zuo Hong'an, a thief who fled to the capital, is proficient in the art of disguise. Fifteen days ago, he was discovered by his master while stealing and killed five members of his family;
Nine days ago, while stealing the treasures of a rich family, he saw his daughter's beauty and harmed her, causing her daughter to hang herself from a beam. However, the man was cunning, confident, and clever, and it was the name left in the suicide note of the rich family's daughter before her death. I don’t know what the mentality of this guy is, causing harm to other girls, and still making people remember his name.

The government still transferred the shadow graphics from elsewhere where he committed the crime, but it was said that they could only be used as a reference because Zuo Hongan was good at changing his appearance.The government offered a reward of 1 taels of silver, but the wealthy family provided a reward of [-] taels of silver for his head.

Chu Nanning must be tempted by this job worth 1000 taels.

She is short of money now, this is a big job!
After waiting for a few days, Zhao Yuan no longer had any reason to shirk, so she had to go see the old lady.

There were not many people in the old lady's Fushou Hall. She tried hard to arrange for a few informants to go there, but they were dismissed as soon as they arrived.

The old lady said she liked peace and quiet, and there were enough people in Fushou Hall.

She also wanted to bribe the people around the old lady, but those people didn't know what benefits they got. Except for two maids who were rough messengers, no one succeeded.

The two rough messenger maids knew very little and could not provide any useful information.

Zhao Yuan also stopped thinking about the Fushou Hall, which was inaccessible to water. She was happy to be quiet and comfortable for an old person who didn't need to worry about it morning and night.

At this moment, standing in front of Fushou Hall, she took a deep breath before walking in.

It wasn't until I walked into the second door that a nanny came over and said, "What can I do for you, madam?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Aunt Yu, I'm here to pay my respects to my mother!"

Aunt Yu said: "Wait a moment, I will report it right now!"

Then, Zhao Yuan was left hanging at the door.

Zhao Yuan suppressed her displeasure and dissatisfaction, and the old man became more and more assertive.

She didn't keep her waiting for long, and after a while, Grandma Yu came back: "Madam, the old lady is chanting sutras. She said that the morning and dusk meditation has been eliminated for a long time, and there is no need for Madam to come again!"

Zhao Yuan couldn't hold back the decent smile on her face. The old man knew clearly that she came here because she had something to do, so he still used these words to excuse her.

She said: "Not only do I say hello, I also have something important to tell the old lady!"

Aunt Yu glanced at her and said: "Madam, the old lady has stopped taking care of things a long time ago. Madam is in charge of all matters in the house. Didn't the old lady say before that there is no need to report anything to her?"

Zhao Yuan's face darkened. This old man in the Fushou Hall dared to sneer at her. She said, "Of course I won't bother my mother with ordinary things. You go and tell me that Lan Yatou has returned to Beijing!" Mammy said: "Old slave, go and report again!"

Zhao Yuan was still standing outside, without a seat or a cup of tea.

This was the reason why she disliked coming to Fu Shoutang the most.

Ever since she married the Marquis, the old man has never wanted to see her. Ever since Chu Lan was sent to his hometown by the Marquis, she has hardly seen her for more than ten years.

Aunt Yu came back and said, "Madam, please come in and wait. The old lady needs to finish reciting the sutra!"

Zhao Yuan secretly resented that she had reported it twice, which meant that it could be interrupted, and now she was still doing this!
However, thinking of her arrangement, she calmed down again.

This old man is very cunning. It is said that he holds more money than the prince's house and has many good things in his private treasury.

Last night, when Chu Baikui once again asked her to use Chu Nanning's matter to please the old lady, she reluctantly said: "Master, you know, my mother doesn't like me at all, and I may not be able to see her face." .”

Chu Baikui said patiently: "In these years, my mother has not seen you, and she has been indifferent to me. She only maintains the relationship between mother and son on face. We don't need to put a hot face on a cold face. However, now the Hou Mansion is not as good as before, and it is difficult to make ends meet. Yes, but there is a lot of money from my mother, aren’t you tempted?”

"If you are not moved, won't this belong to the Marquis sooner or later?"

There was a trace of hatred deep in Chu Baikui's eyes, and he said: "I originally thought so too, but I didn't know until the battle that the old thing had arranged a back-up plan. If she hadn't been willing to give it to us, she would have died. No, we can’t get anything except taking back Fushou Tang!”

Zhao Yuan was shocked at the time, but seeing the hatred in Chu Baikui's eyes, she knew what he said was true.

With so much money, if the old guy dies and doesn't get even a penny, is he benefiting others in vain?That's definitely not possible.

Isn't it just to please?

So, today she came.

Although Chu Lan's cheap servant was used as a raft so that she could see the old thing, there was still a gap that could be broken through.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, I finally heard footsteps.

Zhao Yuan stood up.

Aunt Qin helped the old lady walk out, followed by Aunt Yu.

Zhao Yuan saluted and said: "Mother!"

The old lady is over sixty years old, but probably because she has been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name for more than ten years, her face is calm and looks a bit rich, and her hair is combed very carefully, without any mess.There are strands of silvery white hair faintly visible between the hair strands.The eye sockets are slightly sunken, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes overlap quietly, leaving behind the marks of the vicissitudes of time.

She raised her eyes, looked at Zhao Yuan who was saluting, and said calmly: "Sit down!"

There was no difficulty, no embarrassment, just as plain as indifference to passers-by.

Zhao Yuan sat down and said: "Mom, Lan'er has returned to Beijing!"

The old lady said: "You are her stepmother. She has returned to Beijing. You can make your own arrangements!"

Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "Mother, you also know that it was really a last resort to send her away. At that time, Yun'er and I were sick every three days. It was not until she left Beijing that we got better..."

"Hi!" The old lady made a sound and did not answer.

Zhao Yuan couldn't talk any more, so she had to change the topic: "Mom, I'm just her stepmother after all. She seems to hate us for what happened back then. When she returned to the capital, she didn't want to go back to her hometown. Yun'er was late a few days ago. I saw her in the prince's palace. How could she, a helpless woman, suddenly appear in a prince's palace?"
