Chapter 9 Zhuangzi Arrives
Chen Nan opened the box and took a look.
Hey! Why is it a thick stack of banknotes?!
"What's the problem?"
"There is a letter hidden inside, written by a princess from the previous dynasty."
"Huh?" she was surprised.
Su Weimin asked her seriously, "I have never seen this box before. Where did you get it from?"
Chen Nan said without hesitation, "Your study."
"How could I possibly have such a thing?!"
"Then you have to ask yourself!"
The two looked at each other, paused for two seconds, and then said in unison:
"This is a frame-up!"
"Is this what they're looking for?!"
Chen Nan recalled that although the officers and soldiers had been searching for evidence in the study at that time, they did not look through everything.
Obviously, they knew exactly what they were looking for from the beginning!
"Does anyone else know that you have the late emperor's will in your hands?"
"No one knows. Even the eunuch He who served the late emperor was expelled at the time. The imperial edict was written by the late emperor himself."
"If Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know, then why did she insist on framing you?"
Su Weimin thought carefully for a moment and hesitated:
"Uh... maybe it's to clean up the old ministers."
"Maybe she guessed something..."
They both sighed.
Su Weimin: "Perhaps she didn't know there was a will?"
Chen Nan pondered, "Or perhaps they suspect there's a will, but they don't know what it says. They're even less sure who has it, so they can only check one by one."
"That's probably the case!"
"Well, if she's sure, there's no reason for her to let us go. The safest thing to do is to kill us directly."
"That's right! But..."
Su Weimin wanted to say something else, but Chen Nan raised his hand to interrupt him.
She tilted her head and began to look outside.
"Sister Nan, Sister Nan!"
"Are you okay? We're almost there."
Lin Hua was pulling her arm and reminding her in a low voice.
Chen Nan came back to his senses and looked outside, and found that he was only a hundred meters away from the village.
She raised her chin towards Su Weimin and said, "Let's talk about it later."
"Wait!" Su Weimin hurriedly called her,
"What? Tell me!"
"Empress Dowager Xiao is a very suspicious person."
"If the Su family stays here, their lives will probably be in danger!"
"You must take them away!"
Chen Nan nodded. She thought so too, so she agreed without any further ado.
"Okay, I see."
"Let's go!"
She left in a hurry, leaving Su Weimin alone, scratching his head and hesitating in the space, burning with worry...
……
outside.
Chen Nan was looking vigilantly at the person in front of him.
Just a second ago, seven or eight strong men suddenly rushed out from the haystack!
They were holding wooden sticks and blocking the middle of the road. They all looked like strong farmers.
"Stop! No more going forward."
"Leave now! Otherwise we will not be polite."
Chen Nan did not retreat but advanced.
She could be the head of the Su family now, with Su Weimin's body still behind her. How could she be unable to enter her own home after arriving at the door?
She took out the jade ring that held the family head's seal and held it high, saying loudly:
"Who are you?!"
"Open your eyes and see clearly what this is!"
"Don't you recognize it?"
When the strong men took a closer look, their knees suddenly went weak and they knelt down.
To be honest, Chen Nan really wasn't used to people kneeling to her all the time. She and Lin Hua both turned slightly to the side.
"We were blind, please forgive us, Miss!"
"Don't blame us, Miss. It was Madam who asked us to stay outside."
"We have been farming in Zhuangzi all the time, so we really don't recognize it."
Chen Nan put away the jade ring, then bent down and gave everyone a helping hand.
"Okay, everyone, get up."
"Thank you, miss."
"Are the Madam and Master all right?"
"We, the humble ones, don't know. Madam only ordered us to take turns guarding outside."
Chen Nan and Lin Hua exchanged a glance, then turned and glanced at the others. Seeing that they all looked accustomed to this, he took the lead and stepped forward.
"That's alright! You guys just keep guarding."
"Yes, ma'am."
Uncle Fu stopped behind her, put down the flatbed cart, and then caught up with her and said, "Miss, why don't you let this old servant go and take a look first."
Chen Nan shook his head gently, "No need, let's go together."
Uncle Fu hesitated to speak, seeming a little worried.
Lin Hua smiled and comforted her, "I'm here, it's okay."
Uncle Fu nodded in agreement and retreated silently.
Chen Nan took advantage of this moment to quickly explain to Lin Hua: "The one inside... is the one behind."
"Huh? What."
Lin Hua didn't understand and felt dizzy.
Chen Nan looked back and raised his chin slightly, "It's our father."
"Our...our dad?! Ah, it's over."
Lin Hua took a deep breath and glanced at the flatbed truck at an extremely fast speed. His face became paler and paler, and his body was shaking slightly.
"So you admit it?"
"Well, what else can we do?"
"Okay, okay! This really is... fate."
Chen Nan forced an ugly smile. There was something even more terrible that she hadn't told her yet. She looked at the door in front of her and decided to leave it at that.
Although this place is called Zhuangzi, the houses are actually very exquisite and the gate is very grand. The place bestowed by the emperor does indeed have a royal style.
Lin Hua went forward and knocked on the door.
I called out several times, but there was no movement from inside.
Chen Nan frowned and ordered someone to break the door open.
It was empty and silent inside.
Uncle Fu also noticed something was wrong and immediately took people to check the entire yard. Even Aunt Chen, who had run back earlier, was nowhere to be seen.
"Miss, there's no one inside."
"Uncle Fu, is there any other place to live on this farm?"
"No, Zhuangzi is built on the mountain, it's either forest or field."
Han and the others seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no trace left.
The concubines in the team were all smart people. Seeing that the situation was not right, they immediately started crying at the same time.
"Madam, you have such a cruel heart!"
"She left before the master's body was even cold."
"It's really hard for us. We didn't bring anything with us. How are we going to live in the future?"
"My God, why are we so miserable?"
A bunch of women were crying, making Chen Nan's head buzz.
She waved her hand and said, "Shut up and stop crying!"
The sound stopped abruptly and everyone looked over.
"Uncle Fu, take some people to clean up a few rooms!"
"Let's squeeze in tonight and let everyone stay first."
Uncle Fu hesitated to speak: "But Madam and Master..."
Chen Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's all rest for a while. Later, I will personally lead people to look for mother and brother!"
Uncle Fu restrained his expression and said, "Yes! Miss!"
However, Uncle Fu felt that there was no need to crowd everyone together, because these people did not have a good relationship with each other on a daily basis, and trouble would definitely arise if they stayed together.
He turned around and ordered the maids and servants to clean up all the rooms in the west courtyard.
Chen Nan frowned and stopped him when he heard it, "Wait!"
"Times are different now, more people means more safety, so let's squeeze in!"
Uncle Fu was startled, then bowed and agreed: "Yes, Miss."
Everyone dispersed.
Chen Nan pulled Lin Hua into the main house.
Lin Hua closed the door and couldn't wait to speak.
"Sister Nan, he really..."
"Shh!"
Chen Nan quickly covered Lin Hua's mouth and mouthed a reminder to her.
"Don't talk nonsense, there are people in the house!"
