A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 178 We Have the Immortal's Blessing
Aunt Su felt something was wrong when she heard the sound. She rolled over and got up, took out something from under her pillow and hid it in her arms.
He reached out and woke up Aunt Jiao who was sleeping in the other bed. Then, together with Aunt Jiao, he held the two children in his arms and woke them up in a gentle voice.
In fact, Sister Shan and Brother Hu did not sleep very well either. After all, whether in the farmhouse or in the He Mansion, the beds were high and the pillows were soft, clean and delicate. Now they were suddenly in a room in a small inn in the town. Even if they had their own bedding on the bed, they would not feel comfortable. It was only because they were tired from playing during the day that they could fall asleep.
They were all still half asleep when they were woken up, and they heard their grandmother whispering in their ears, "There's trouble outside, Shanjie, take Huge and hide under the bed first, and don't make any noise."
They didn't dare to light the lights. They quickly got out of bed and hid the two children under the bed. Aunt Su then squatted by the window and waited.
Seeing this, Aunt Jiao also grabbed a stool, held it in her hand, and stood guard on the other side of the window.
Sure enough, I heard the chaotic noise getting closer.
It seemed as if a group of people were fighting in the corridor outside the window. Some were shouting, some were screaming, and some were shouting, "Don't let the thief go!"
Aunt Su felt something was wrong when she heard this.
Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came to the window and rushed in without even stopping.
According to Aunt Su, the whole process took no more than two minutes.
Although Aunt Su's group consisted of more than ten people, seven or eight of them were strong men. If there was enough time and they could all be called up and gathered together, then perhaps they wouldn't have to worry about thieves or the like.
But this trouble happened too quickly!
This is because Aunt Su sleeps lightly and wakes up quickly. As for the maids, they are so exhausted from traveling that they fall asleep as soon as they touch the pillow. How can they move so quickly?
The man broke the window and ran straight to the bed as if he was familiar with the route.
But there was a whistling sound of wind from the right, and a dark shadow came down towards him.
Huh?
He remembered that this room was occupied by people of all ages.
How come there is an ambush?
But it didn't matter. He twisted his body to the left and dodged it easily. He also raised his foot, ready to kick away the old man who attacked him.
But there was a hard object pressing against his left waist.
He then raised his foot, thinking that there were only old women and children in the room, and the hard object was not sharp, so there was no need to be afraid of him. He would just deal with the old woman first.
However, he didn't expect to hear a slight crackling sound, and his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He felt numb and sore instantly, and fell to the ground without a sound, his whole body still twitching like a fish out of water.
Aunt Su finally breathed a sigh of relief after she successfully hit the target.
But I didn't let down my guard at all.
After all, there are still several people outside.
Who knows whether these people are friends or enemies?
Also, since there was such a big commotion, why didn't the people she brought with her react at all?
As expected, I heard someone screaming outside the window, "The thief jumped into the room!"
"Go in and catch the thief quickly, before he hurts the guests in the room!"
Seeing that there seemed to be a number of strange men about to break in, both Madam Jiao and Aunt Su felt their hearts in their throats.
Fortunately, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside the window again.
"What are you doing? This is the bedroom where our old lady lives! Our old lady is the Countess's concubine!"
Wasn't the person who spoke the same person that Aunt Su brought with her this time?
And along with it, there was also Lin Lao Er's unhappy questioning voice.
"Are you trying to break into the bedroom of the women in my uncle's house?"
"Ah! Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
"We were chasing a thief, and the thief jumped into this room through the window. We were afraid that the thief would hurt the guests in the room, so we wanted to go in and save him! No disrespect intended!"
"Yes, yes, yes! This evil thief stole our master's treasure and fled here! Since the noble's wife lives in this room, please come in quickly. The evil thief is a desperado!"
Hearing this, Aunt Su finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Aunt Jiao, "Let them come in and carry this man away!"
Madam Jiao raised her voice, "Second Master, there is indeed a thief in our room, but the thief has been subdued by the old lady. Please come in and carry the thief away!"
She actually didn't see clearly what happened just now.
She didn't hit the thief with that blow, and the thief almost kicked her. But after a crackling sound, the thief fell to the ground, and she saw a few points of light coming out of the old lady's sleeves!
May Suxian bless you!
This must be Su Xian’s blessing!
When several strong men holding lanterns and torches outside entered the house, they saw the thief who had broken in had fallen on his back on the ground, his body stiff, and his legs, feet and hands twitching from time to time, as if he had suddenly suffered an epileptic seizure.
Especially when the thief was carried out of the room, several lanterns shone on him, and many pairs of eyes looked over at him.
Everyone was shocked to see the man's painful expression and his body stiff and twitching.
"Is this man having an epileptic seizure?"
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
"No, didn't I just say that he was subdued by the old lady?"
"Could it be that this old lady of the Bo Mansion is actually a master?"
Although the person who said this said it, he didn't believe it at all in his heart.
The women of these wealthy families have enough food, drink and clothes to wear, so why would they go through the hardship of learning martial arts?
Rather than saying that it was the old lady who subdued him, it would be better to say that there must be an expert around the old lady!
Almost all the men who accompanied Aunt Su this time stood up. The only three who did not come were also in the carriage looking at the horses and luggage.
These people were not that surprised when they saw the thief.
Come to think of it, the old lady is destined to be an immortal.
With the protection of the immortals, what's so strange about defeating a few petty thieves?
After these people carried the thief away, Aunt Su asked someone to check if there was any damage to her carriage and luggage, and also asked someone to check if anyone was missing or anything was lost.
Only after a period of war and chaos did things become clear.
The Su family's carriage and luggage were in good condition. After all, the three people were there to guard them. Even when they slept, the three of them took turns and they dared not be negligent at any time.
The servants sleeping in the three rooms were all fine, no one was missing and no things were lost.
After such a commotion, no one dared to sleep anymore. We all packed up and took a nap in our clothes, and finally made it until daybreak.
Aunt Su immediately ordered to set off and clear the way, as she didn't want to stay in this small inn for a moment.
After the Su family's carriage left, a dozen men in gray clothes and tight clothes also took the thief on the road.
The reason they hadn't revealed their whereabouts before was to track down these two spies from the Western Di Kingdom. For these two guys, they had lost several brothers!
But one of the spies bit his tongue and committed suicide as soon as he fell into their hands, so it was of no use.
And this second spy was also very cunning. We set up traps several times but failed to capture him alive. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the spy was desperate yesterday. He probably knew during the day that the people living in this house were the old and young of a wealthy family, so he went in and took them hostage.
However, he didn't expect that just a few breaths after entering, he fell to the ground, his whole body stiff, and he had completely lost the ability to move!
If you can't move, then there's naturally no way to commit suicide!
Wouldn't that allow them to get twice the result with half the effort?
Finally, their hard work over the past few months has paid off!
They wanted to thank the old countess Su, but unfortunately the old lady was wary of them as if they were thieves. She packed up her things and ran away before daybreak!
Well, he could just run away, but they were really curious. How could the spy, who was so skilled in martial arts and ruthless, be subdued into such a miserable state as soon as he entered the house?
Let them interrogate the confessions later, and things will go much more smoothly!
"Boss, I seem to have heard someone say that the old lady was protected by some god?"
"God's blessing?"
Everyone who heard this couldn't help laughing.
People like them who live on the edge of a knife are the least likely to believe in gods or Buddhas.
If there really were gods in this world, wouldn't those traitors who committed many evil deeds and betrayed their country have already suffered retribution? Would they still have to risk their lives in the wind and rain?
Aunt Su naturally didn't know what these people were saying about her behind her back, but she became more cautious from then on, preferring to move more slowly and try not to stay overnight in remote towns.
The journey was much smoother after that, and it took more than ten days to finally reach the capital.
Aunt Su first found an inn to stay in.
Lin Yanniang had received the news long ago and hurried over with her people.
"Mother!"
As soon as she saw Aunt Su, Lin Yanniang couldn't help crying.
"It's all my fault that I got my mother into trouble!"
If she had not won the favor of the Fifth Princess, how could Princess Huyang have noticed the small farm in Tongcheng, hundreds of miles away?
Naturally, no one would occupy my mother’s retirement home!
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would probably have thought it was just a worthless little mountain farm. But she had lived there before and experienced with her own eyes how comfortable the yard was, how expensive it was to build the greenhouse, and how delicious the various carefully raised cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and other livestock and poultry on the farm tasted.
There are also fairy fruits in the greenhouse. If all of them grow, it will be another huge income.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned bloodshot.
"Mother, I will definitely tell the Fifth Princess about this matter and ask her to make the decision for us!"
She had been going in and out of the princess's mansion quite often recently, so naturally she had heard a lot of royal secrets.
Princess Huyang was naturally an inviolable princess to ordinary wealthy families, but in the royal family, she was hated by everyone.
As long as the Fifth Princess is willing, even if Princess Huyang cannot be punished, at least the manor can be taken back, right?
Aunt Su laughed.
"Zhuangzi's matter is not urgent. Why should we bother the Fifth Princess for this?"
"No matter what, Princess Huyang is the Fifth Princess's aunt. You have finally managed to borrow some of her influence. There is no need to embarrass the Princess for this."
Regarding the matter of the fifth princess and the fifth prince consort, I owed a favor to Aunt Su and her daughter.
If I speak up now, I should be able to easily get Zhuangzi back.
But obviously, this favor is gone.
After all, the memory of those in high positions is mostly selective.
Maybe she won't remember the troubles she had with infertility, but she can still remember that Lin Yanniang and her daughter used the excuse of returning a favor to make things difficult for her!
Lin Yanniang was stunned when she heard this.
"Then, the manor was snatched away by Princess Huyang?"
Last year, the fairy fruit was very hard to come by in the capital. She didn't even dare to think about how much profit she had made. Just thinking about the farm her mother had originally planned to live on in her old age, where she had put so much effort, was gone just like that, made her so angry.
Aunt Su smiled slightly.
"Even though it has been snatched away now, it is not certain whether she can enjoy it."
She also spread pesticides in the greenhouse.
Even if the yield of all crops is not a total loss, the taste of the fruits and vegetables will probably be different from before. In addition, there are strange things happening on the farm. She thinks that Princess Huyang is a top noble who values her life the most, so how could she dare to taste the food herself?
Therefore, the farm was not only useless to Princess Huyang, but she also had to send more than a dozen people to guard it, and they had to provide food and drink, and pay monthly wages. Wasn't this a waste of money?
Lin Yanniang's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Aunt Su said meaningfully, "My farm was originally worth nothing. It was only because of the blessing of Su Xian that I have everything now."
"Princess Huyang is the daughter of the emperor, and her servants are naturally used to bullying others. How can they respect the gods? They will inevitably anger the gods and bring disaster upon themselves. Then the fairy fruit will no longer be a fairy fruit. It's good enough if they don't cause any trouble!"
Although Lin Yanniang had heard from Shan Jie'er that the old lady once invited gods to descend, she was actually skeptical. After all, she had never seen it with her own eyes!
Now when I hear Aunt Su's words again, I am naturally still half-believing and half-doubting.
But now she desperately hopes this is true.
"What mother said is true. These people have been doing bad things everywhere. They have jumped in front of Su Xian and occupied our farm. They will definitely be punished."
"Mother, although this inn is quite good in the capital, it is still cramped. Why don't I rent a house for you to live in first?"
To be honest, she was useless. Her sisters-in-law all had small houses in the capital as dowries, and farms and lands in the suburbs of the capital. Only she had a small farm in the suburbs of the capital, and the lands were just worthless mountain land.
There was no dowry or courtyard in the capital, and all the money she had was used to run a few small shops.
Aunt Su nodded. This inn in the capital city was much better than the ones she had stayed in along the way, both in terms of service and furnishings.
But that can't compare to the comfort of living in her own yard! Not to mention compared to a modern hotel.
