The Regent Princess has run away again

"Hey, wake up!"

You kicked the butler Wang who was sleeping on the haystack with disdain. If he wasn't useful, he would have sent him to see the King of Hell with a single knife.

Butler Wang woke up from his sleep, looked up at the person who came, and the confusion in his eyes was immediately replaced by fear. He climbed up from the haystack and ran to the door.

You clicked his tongue impatiently, picked him up by the back of his collar, and threw him back onto the haystack like a chicken: "Behave yourself, I'll send your wife and children over to meet you later."

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang was not very happy. Instead, he was filled with uneasiness. How did the Regent find out where his wife and children were? It was so remote there, and he had basically had no contact with them. There was no way he could have found them.

You ignored him and left after saying this.

Hearing the sound of the door being locked, Butler Wang still stared at the door blankly, with a plan in his mind.

At the corner gate of the courtyard, a woman dressed as a woman was pulling a child. On her other arm was a basket covered with white cloth. When she was about to go up and knock on the door, the door inside was opened.

"Come in quickly."

The servant opened the corner door, and when he saw the two people, there was no surprise in his eyes. He stepped aside and spoke.

The woman responded timidly and walked in with the child. When she heard the door closing at the back, she became more nervous.

Last night, when she was about to go to bed, several people dressed in black broke in, gave her an address, and asked her to come over at 9:00 this morning, otherwise she would never see her husband again.

She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night and got up early in the morning. A man who claimed to be a servant of the Zhao Mansion walked in from outside the door. She couldn't help but look him up and down. Seeing that he was indeed wearing the clothes of a servant of the Zhao Mansion, she felt relieved.

"You must be the wife of Butler Wang. He treats me very well. I was a little worried when I saw that he didn't come back overnight, so I came to see if he was with you."

Butler Wang’s wife’s surname was Liu. She was just an ordinary woman and had never been to school, so she did not doubt the man’s words.

Coupled with the sincerity of the man's words, and thinking of what the man in black said last night, tears could not stop flowing from her eyes, and she told him everything that happened last night.

Finally, she cried with tears and snot: "Our Lao Wang has such a miserable life. I don't know how those people will treat him!"

The man showed an understanding look, he stepped forward to comfort her: "Sure enough, our young master guessed it right, sister-in-law, just do as he said, prepare some breakfast for Butler Wang, the young master said he will definitely help you with this matter, just relax."

"Thank you so much, young master. I'll go prepare breakfast now. You can stay and have some too."

Wang Liu wiped her tears and got up to make breakfast.

The man did not refuse and looked around the house. If he didn't know that this was where Butler Wang's wife lived, he would have thought it was some slum.

The courtyard wall was made of vermilion bricks, the paint-chipped wooden door was ajar, and there was very little furniture in the main room, only tables, chairs and benches.

Wang Liu came in carrying a plate of millet porridge, a few white flour buns and a small dish of pickles.

The man finished his breakfast without changing his expression, then stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm full. Let me help you pack up Butler Wang's breakfast. You can just carry the basket later."

"I'm really sorry to trouble you," Wang Liu said embarrassedly. If she didn't have to watch her son eat, she would never dare to ask her benefactor to help her.

After packing up everything, the man did not stay any longer. After he and Wang Liushi left the yard, they parted ways.

Wang Liu came back to her senses from her memories and looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of her. She could no longer hold back her tears.

The servant beside her pushed open the door and motioned for her to come in.

She held her son's hand and rushed in the moment she saw the door open. Looking at the butler Wang in front of her, she didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

Steward Wang frowned, glanced at the closed courtyard door, and asked in a low voice, "Did they ask you anything?"

Wang Liu quickly shook her head: "No, they just brought me to this yard and didn't ask me any other questions."

Although she was uneducated and not very smart, she knew that his master's family was not an ordinary family and that working for them would be dangerous, so she must not say a word that should not be said.

Steward Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly looked at his son standing next to him, and called softly, "Fugui, come here and let your father take a look at you."

Fugui shook his head and subconsciously looked at Wang Liushi beside him, as if asking her who the person in front of her was.

Wang Liu felt a little uncomfortable, lowered her head and said, "Fugui, this is your father. Do you still remember when your father took you to the market to buy candied haws when you were a child?"

Fugui still hid behind his mother and didn't say a word.

The hope in Butler Wang's eyes was quickly shattered, he smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

"By the way, I brought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot."

As Wang Liu said this, she put the basket on the table, lifted the white cloth, and took out the rice porridge.

Butler Wang had not eaten or drunk anything since early morning, but when he smelled the fragrant rice porridge, his appetite was aroused.

When Wang Liu saw him coming, she glanced at the door nervously and said in a low voice, "This morning, the young master sent someone to see you, and it must be your good friend. I said you were captured, and the person said that the young master would help you and asked you to relax."

Steward Wang paused holding the steamed bun, and his relaxed brows furrowed again: "Do you remember what that person looks like?"

"He is tall and thin, and quite gentle. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary servant, and the fabric of his clothes is also quite valuable."

After listening to Wang Liu's description, Butler Wang seemed to have thought of something. His face turned even paler and his hands holding the steamed buns trembled uncontrollably.

He looked down at the rice porridge on the table. The smell that used to be very tempting to him now smelled like the breath of a ghost from the underworld, suffocating.

Wang Liu saw that he was not right and thought he was too happy. She did not think too much about it and urged him: "Eat this rice porridge quickly to replenish your strength. The young master will definitely make a decision for you."

As if he had made up his mind, Steward Wang put down the steamed bun he had only eaten a few bites of, and said seriously: "After I leave, you must take Fugui as far as you can, and never come back to the capital. I have saved a lot of silver, and you can go to the bank to withdraw it. Remember, don't come back to the capital!"

Wang Liu was confused by his words, which were almost like his last words. She pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Look at what you are saying. It's like you are going to die."

Housekeeper Wang did not answer. She looked at Fugui behind her again, and regardless of whether he was listening or not, she said, "Fugui, you must listen to your mother in the future and stop being naughty and willful."

No matter how stupid Wang Liushi was, she finally realized that something was wrong with Butler Wang. She pressed his hand and asked seriously, "What happened?"

"You think too much. I'm a little hungry. Let's have breakfast first."

Butler Wang shook off Wang Liu's hand and drank the rice porridge in big gulps.

......

"Ms. Wang Liu has already gone in and brought breakfast. I had someone check it and there is no problem with the breakfast."

"Well, let Lu Tingxuan find someone to keep an eye on the man who came out of Wang Liu's yard this morning. Don't alert the enemy."

"Yes."

After You left, the coldness in Nangong Ye's eyes shot out, like snow in winter, so cold that it penetrated into the bone marrow.

"Crack!"

The originally intact stone table cracked apart. Nangong Ye quickly withdrew his hand and looked at the stone table that had been split into two halves on the ground.

A dark figure flashed out from nowhere and said respectfully: "Master, do you need to give him some trouble?"

"Heh, it seems Zhao Zhanpeng has forgotten that matter. Go and remind him."

"What about Butler Wang?"

"Let Shijiu watch over it and make sure no one gets killed."

The man in black nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."

The wine picker who was named was still drinking fine wine with Lu Tingxuan in the restaurant. He said drunkenly, "Hiccup! You actually hid this good wine. Well... well done!"

Lu Tingxuan looked at him helplessly. This drunkard came to drink early in the morning and he couldn't persuade him to stop. If his master knew about it, he would definitely skin him alive.

"Please take it easy. You've already drunk half of my treasure."

Looking at the wine jugs on the ground, Lu Tingxuan felt his heart bleeding. These were the wine dews that he had treasured for many years!

"Tsk, you're just stingy. You just left it there and didn't drink it. I just drank it for you because I was afraid you would waste this good wine."

Shijiu was not afraid of Lu Tingxuan's murderous look. He just picked up the wine jug beside him and drank it himself.

Lu Tingxuan tried hard to restrain himself and took a few deep breaths. He was afraid that he would act on impulse and throw him out of the window.

When the man in black arrived, he saw Shijiu, who was a little drunk and had such a furrowed brow that he could pinch a fly to death.

Lu Tingxuan saw someone who appeared in the private room at some point, and understood: "Shiyi, does the master have any instructions?"

Shi Yi nodded, picked up the kettle and poured it over Shi Jiu's head.

Shijiu's hair, which had been styled very handsomely, was suddenly soaked. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around in anger and prepared to curse a few words.

After seeing the person coming, the remaining drunkenness disappeared, and he rubbed his palms secretly and said, "Brother, why are you here?"

Shi Yi ignored him. Seeing that he had returned to normal, he looked at Lu Tingxuan and said, "The master asked you to find someone to keep an eye on the man who came out of Wang Liu's house this morning. Don't alert the enemy."

Lu Tingxuan nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange some staff right away."

Shijiu came over quickly, smiling, and said, "What about me? What should I do?"

"Go and keep an eye on Butler Wang, don't let anyone get killed."

"That's easy. We just need to send anyone to do it," Shijiu shrugged and said disapprovingly.

After he finished speaking, Shi Yi ruthlessly rejected his suggestion: "No, you must watch it in person. This is the master's order."

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look at what kind of person this butler is," Shijiu said as he stood up, his eyes still fixed on the wine jug on the table. He took it away while Lu Tingxuan wasn't paying attention.

Seeing that the remaining wine on the table was gone, Lu Tingxuan couldn't help but said angrily: "I doubt whether you two are biological children. Picking up wine is like a drunkard reincarnated. Wherever he goes, he has to take a pot of wine."

Shi Yi's eyes showed a trace of helplessness. He patted Lu Tingxuan on the shoulder and said, "I will go back and report to the master first. You should be careful."

"I know, go back quickly."

Shijiu took the wine he had picked up before leaving. Although the jug was still corked, he seemed to be able to faintly smell the aroma of the wine. He was so greedy that he wanted to drink it all on the spot.

However, he still retained some rationality. He carefully put the wine jug into his chest and walked quickly towards the courtyard.

When they arrived at a slightly shabby house, they saw servants guarding the door. Everything seemed calm and nothing serious had happened.

The servant was about to speak but was suppressed by Shijiu. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the conversation inside, but it was all about family matters and there was no main point.

At this moment, Wang Liu let out a scream, and then the door was knocked continuously.

"Help! Someone come and save my husband!"

Shijiu secretly cried out that something was wrong, and without waiting for the servant to unlock it, he kicked the door open and rushed in quickly.

Seeing Butler Wang lying on the ground, dying, his face turning purple and his pupils dilated, he walked forward and sniffed his breath.

Fortunately, he was still breathing. Shijiu didn't have time to question Wang Liushi. He hurriedly took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, sealing several of his major acupoints.

Wang Liu held her son and stood aside, completely dumbfounded. Her mind was in a mess, and when she saw Shijiu rushing in, she still looked at a loss.

Shijiu walked over and saw that the rice porridge had been drunk up and there was an empty plate. He took out a silver needle and tried it in the rice porridge.

The silver needle did not turn black, so it seems to be non-toxic. Could it be that the problem is with the food in the empty plate?

"What else did he eat besides rice porridge?"

"I ate...I ate white flour buns."

Shijiu saw some steamed bun crumbs in the basket and tested them with a silver needle, but they did not turn black.

You came over after hearing the news, and when he saw Shijiu, he asked, "How is it, is there any result?"
