After Wang Ruiyan secretly talked to him in private, she called the other two to talk about this matter. Finally, Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning went to discuss the feasibility of this matter with Wu'an Hou. Wu'an Hou thought about it for a while and agreed.
The next day, Lu Nianhuan and the old lady developed fevers. Although their temperatures dropped that day, Doctor Su still recommended that they recuperate outside. Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning quickly secured connections and, on the third day, escorted Lu Nianhuan, the old lady, and Lin to the city gates. Also leaving the capital were guards Eleven and Monk Nine.
However, unexpectedly, Lin was not released. The imperial guards only allowed the old lady and Lu Nianhuan to leave the capital, which undoubtedly told them that only the elderly and children could go out now.
Lu Mingyun didn't care that Lin couldn't leave the capital, but Lu Fengning was a little worried because Lin went crazy again after being sent back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Although the imperial guards restricted wealthy families from leaving the capital, they did not stop ordinary people from leaving, and as for those coming in, the city gates were wide open.
Many people wanted to borrow or fabricate the identity of an ordinary citizen to leave the capital, but the emperor ordered that no one with a new identity would be allowed to leave within two months, which also put an end to those people's ideas.
Everyone was getting nervous in this atmosphere, and Li Mofu could sense it even from his own courtyard. However, staying there all the time was tiring, so Li Mofu always found time to wander around the mansion.
On this day, Li Mofu took Guozi and Mo Yi out for a stroll in the yard. Since there were no guests, he strolled from the West Garden to Chunhe Garden. The servants he met along the way were all in a hurry, and no one looked at Li Mofu strangely.
"Young Master, let's go back too. The sun is about to set. It's still cold in March. It would be bad if we catch a cold." Guozi said while standing behind Li Mofu.
Li Mofu sat on the veranda, looking at the sunset in the distance with a sigh. Then, on a whim, he asked, "Hey, Guozi, do you think there is a secret passage in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Guozi was embarrassed, "How would I know this?"
"You see, Marquis Wu'an doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Is it because there is a tunnel in his mansion that he is not afraid of the chaos in the capital?" Li Mofu said whimsically, because many TV dramas he had watched said that some ministers had secret rooms and tunnels in their homes.
Mo Yi said helplessly, "The Marquis is not panicking because he believes that even if the capital is in chaos, he can still fight his way out. After all, the Marquis is a veteran who has fought on the battlefield, and it is impossible for him to show fear at this time."
"But there are so many royal guards, at least 20,000 or 30,000, and each of them is wearing armor and a sword. We can't defeat them no matter how hard we try," said Li Mofu.
"Don't always think about it. As long as the border is not recovered, His Majesty will need the Marquis. As long as the Marquis is still in the Wu'an Marquisate, don't worry too much." Mo Yi comforted.
Li Mofu pursed his lips and looked at Mo Yi, "What if the Marquis of Wu'an really went to the border? Will Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning go too? If so, we will be the only ones left in the Marquis' Mansion..."
"..." Mo Yi paused, then said, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Li. The Young Master and the Marquis will make arrangements."
Li Mofu stretched himself lazily and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The worst that can happen is death."
"Don't say that, sir." Guozi said as he helped Li Mofu up. Li Mofu stood up and stretched.
"Well, okay, things will work out when the time comes. Let's go back and have dinner." Li Mofu said.
On the way back, it started to get dark. Because they came out early and didn't bring a flashlight, their visibility became dim.
"Hey, sir! Don't go that way!" Guozi was distracted, and Li Mofu took the lead and walked into the wrong road.
Li Mofu paused, then turned around and looked around, "Where is this? Why is there no one lighting a lamp?"
"The eldest lady's yard is nearby. She might not have woken up yet." Guozi said in a low voice.
