Just as Jiang Yuwei was about to ask what happened, she heard the gate behind her rang urgently:

"Dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Ning Wu's face became even more nervous when he saw this, and he kept gesturing to everyone. Although no one knew what he was gesturing, everyone was very alert and quietly picked up their weapons.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly climbed up the ladder that had been set up in the yard, stepped onto the stage, and half of her head stuck out to look out the door.

There were two people standing outside, a man and a woman. The one knocking on the door was an old woman, who was banging on her own gate.

Looking carefully in the moonlight, Jiang Yuwei felt that she had seen that woman before. After a closer look, she realized that the man standing behind the woman was the man who came to Ningjia Village to look for the fool that day.

Jiang Yuwei was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell off the ladder.

But the sound of the ladder startled the old woman who was knocking on the door, and she looked up with a sharp look in her eyes.

Jiang Yuwei happened to meet her eyes, and suddenly remembered that this old woman was the Wang Ma who mistook Ning Huaizhi for her family's eldest son in Ping'an Town that day!

Jiang Yuwei was shocked and hurriedly climbed down the ladder tremblingly. Could it be that Wang Ma and the man were from the same group, both looking for the fool?

Are they good guys or bad guys? If I open the gate to them tonight, will it be a happy ending or will everyone be killed?

Jiang Yuwei looked at everyone in the yard and couldn't help but clench her fists. No, she couldn't gamble, and she didn't dare to gamble. She couldn't let everyone risk their lives for a fool.

At this moment, Wang Ma outside the courtyard spoke:

"I know you. You are the woman who was on the ox cart with our prince that day. Please open the door for me! I have something important to explain to the prince!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei knew that the other party had seen her, so there was no need to hide it.

"We don't have the prince you're looking for in our courtyard, so please go back!"

Aunt Wang knocked on the door and shouted:

"I know the prince is in there. Please let me in. I must see the prince today!"

Seeing that Wang Ma was not giving in, Jiang Yuwei became a little impatient.

"We don't have any princes here, how much more do you want me to say! Hurry up and leave! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, there was silence outside the door for a while, and then suddenly there was the howling of Wang Ma:

"Prince, are you really so cruel that you don't even want to see the princess for the last time just to escape the marriage? You will regret it! Prince, I beg you to open the door for me!"

The man at the side seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and reached out to help Wang Ma, who was crouching at the door.

"Mother Wang, please save your energy."

I only heard Wang Ma suddenly shake off the man's hand and said angrily:

"Yun Qing! Don't worry about me! You are a waste! You can't even protect the prince, and you threw him into this remote place. I don't know how much suffering the prince has gone through!"

As she spoke, Wang Ma continued to bang on the door and started crying.

"My Lord, Aunt Wang is only sincere to you. I have done my best to raise you from a baby to the age of ten. If it weren't for Aunt Liu's frame-up, I wouldn't have been banished to the manor and stayed there for ten years, wuwu..."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei finally understood why Wang Ma thought Ning Huaizhi was a fool. It turned out that Wang Ma had never seen a fool after the age of ten.

This Wang Ma seemed to be talking about something sad, and she cried harder and harder.

"My prince, wow, if it weren't for the princess's accident this time, please let me out of the manor. I'm afraid I will never see the princess and the prince again in this life..."

Jiang Yuwei listened to Wang Ma's heartfelt crying and was unable to tell whether it was true or false. The most difficult thing was that the fool had lost his memory and there was no way to tell whether this person was real or not.

Jiang Yuwei thought so and didn't have the patience to listen to Wang Ma's crying anymore. She directly pulled the idiot to a corner and asked quietly:

"Do you remember this Wang Ma and Yun Qing?"

The fool looked at Jiang Yuwei with a confused look on his face, muttering:

"Auntie Wang? Yun Qing? I don't know her!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei walked directly to the door and shouted to Wang Ma:

"It's late at night! Why are you crying and howling in front of someone else's door? Can you please stop me? I told you! If you don't leave, I will be rude!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yuwei reached out and pulled the mechanism at the door, and saw four or five sharp arrows shot out from the courtyard wall at the same time.

Aunt Wang, who was sitting on the ground, was so frightened when she saw this that she broke out in a cold sweat. She had no idea that this country boy had such a powerful mechanism in his home.

Yun Qing's face turned cold upon seeing this. He thought again of the humiliation he suffered in the courtyard that night, and was afraid that if he forced his way in tonight, he would end up in trouble.

So he pulled Wang Ma up from the ground without saying anything and said in a cold voice:

"This courtyard is not simple. Aunt Wang, please come with me first and we will discuss it in detail."

Mother Wang didn't dare to say anything at this time, so she could only follow Yun Qing silently out of the village.

courtyard,

Jiang Yuwei put her ear against the door, listening to the footsteps of the two people gradually moving away, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned back and looked at the people in the courtyard and said:

"I'll have to ask you to stay in the courtyard tonight. I'm afraid they can't get far."

Jiang Yuwei pointed to the idiot's house and said:

"The men stayed in the house of Idiot and Huaizhi. If they couldn't sleep on the bed, they would just find some hay and make a bed on the floor. It would take them a night."

Jiang Yuwei then said to Ning Qiu:

"Ning Qiu, you and Daya should go to the backyard to sleep. The two of you should be more alert when sleeping so that you can be looked after at night."

After saying that, he turned to look at Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhou and said:

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhou, you two can sleep in the side room with Liu, and Xiaoyun can bring the child to my room."

After hearing Jiang Yuwei's instructions, everyone hurried to clean up the table and prepare for bed.

Jiang Yuwei then spoke to Ning Wu and Zhang Tianhe:

"You two will be in charge of guarding the front yard tonight. Tianhe will guard the first half of the night, and Ningwu will guard the second half. Wake us up immediately if there is any disturbance."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei looked at Tiezhu and Zhang Guangdao again:

"You two are responsible for guarding the backyard and the pond. The area at the back is large, so you two will have to look around more. You two will be responsible for the work, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half."

After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, everyone hurried to check the doors and windows, and then went back into their rooms to sleep.

Jiang Yuwei thought that everyone was asleep at night and the two would come back and cause trouble, so she didn't dare to sleep too deeply.

But unexpectedly, the two men never came back after they left. Jiang Yuwei slept in a daze until dawn and saw that everyone in the courtyard had already gotten up and was busy cooking and cleaning the yard.

She quickly put on her clothes and went to the yard. Jiang Yuwei waved to Ning Wu and Tie Zhu, and the two came over.

"Was there anything unusual last night?"

The two of them shook their heads like rattles.

"Nothing, everything is fine, Sister Yuwei, can we open the gate now?"

Jiang Yuwei thought about it and shouted to the fool standing at the door:

"Fool, open the gate!"

After hearing this, the fool quickly put down the broom in his hand and opened the gate.

But as soon as the gate was opened, two dark shadows suddenly pounced towards the fool.

The fool was a martial artist, so his reaction was quick. Seeing this, he subconsciously raised his foot and kicked the two black shadows.
