Chapter 918: Chapter 920 Never Regret_1 Chapter 918: Chapter 920 Never Regret_1 Bai Ruozhu was montarily stunned, and her heart quickly sank.
The horse did not run very fast, and before long, Zhang Dazhu had left Bai Ruozhu’s line of sight, without ever looking back at her even once as she walked away.
What did this an?
Zhang Dazhu was on a mission, disguising himself as a commoner hiding in the city.
When he saw her and wanted to pay his respects, he rembered his mission and ultimately had to pretend not to know her.
This incident made it clear that the Northwest Main Camp had dispatched quite a number of people to infiltrate Beiyu City in disguise, in order to prevent Prince Duan from suddenly rebelling and swiftly taking over Beiyu City!
Bai Ruozhu’s heart rose to her throat.
Had the situation reached this stage?
Was Prince Duan about to cause trouble at any mont?
All the way until she reached ng Residence, Bai Ruozhu was preoccupied with heavy thoughts.
The Elder Lady ng saw that she had sothing on her mind and began to inquire.
Knowing that the Elder Lady ng was prudent in her dealings, Bai Ruozhu gave her a sign with her eyes, and only after she had dismissed everyone around them did she relay the situation she had witnessed on the road.
The expression on Elder Lady ng’s face also turned solemn, “It seems we don’t need to look for any more evidence.
As soon as he takes action, the cri of conspiracy will be confird.”
“I’m just afraid that he might use another excuse, or keep us hanging.
I feel that the Emperor doesn’t want to be in a passive position.
Even if Prince Duan doesn’t rebel, he will probably eliminate him soon,” Bai Ruozhu said softly.
Elder Lady ng nodded, “You’re right.
Be extra careful when you go in and out these days, and try not to take the children with you when you go out.”
This was also what Bai Ruozhu had in mind, which is why she had not brought Dengdeng with her these past few days for her errands—the little guy was pitifully upset about it.
After chatting with Elder Lady ng for a few more monts, Elder Lady ng cautiously looked outside the room, then dipped her finger in so tea water and wrote on the table: “If anything happens, co find .
There is a secret passage leading outside the city.”
As soon as Elder Lady ng had finished writing, she imdiately wiped it away with her hand, her actions extrely cautious.
Bai Ruozhu smiled gratefully at Elder Lady ng.
Such a secret was definitely the trump card of ng Residence, the last resort for preserving the bloodline should a major event occur in the ng Family.
Yet, Elder Lady ng was willing to share it with her, even allowing her to use it to escape, which showed that she truly treated her as dear family.
Of course, Bai Ruozhu also understood that she wouldn’t trouble the ng Family unless she was completely out of options.
Doing so could potentially reveal the ng Family’s trump card and even jeopardize the survival of others from the ng Family who needed to flee.
Bai Ruozhu took out the gifts she had bought from Jiangnan, and Elder Lady ng imdiately called a servant to summon ng Jinse and ng Jinxia.
The gift Bai Ruozhu presented to Elder Lady ng was a silk blouse she had made herself.
Elder Lady ng received the blouse and imdiately wanted to try it on, her eyes twinkling with joy, yet she said, “Child, you’ve had such hard work during the trip, and you even had to bring along a little one.
Why bother making clothes for ?
The embroiderers could have done this needlework.
What if it wears you out?”
“Grandmother, I had nothing else to do on the boat, and sewing a little thing like this won’t tire out,” Bai Ruozhu knew that Elder Lady ng was very fond of the present but was even more concerned about her well-being.
She felt truly lucky to have found a grandmother who cared for her this much.
Soon, ng Jinse and ng Jinxia hurried over.
The complexion of ng Jinxia appeared rosier, seemingly well-nurtured recently.
Both were thrilled with the round fans that Bai Ruozhu had given them, holding onto them tightly in their hands.
ng Jinse even more joyfully said, “The fans made by the people of Jiangnan are indeed exquisite.
This one is even inlaid with pearls.
In our place, it would rely serve as a fan, but there, it could be considered jewelry.”
The people in the room all laughed, and just as the atmosphere beca harmonious, a maid’s voice ca from outside: “The Young Master has arrived, Elder Lady ng and Miss, Second Miss…”
The maid’s voice grew quieter and quieter because she hadn’t finished speaking before ng Hanhong had already rushed into the Flower Hall.
ng Hanhong’s eyes were red, clearly having just cried.
Although he could be willful, “boys don’t shed tears lightly”; he didn’t usually cry easily, so his appearance at the mont startled the old madam.
She quickly stretched out her hand toward him, “Hong’er, co here quickly, let Grandma see what’s happened to you?”
At her question, ng Hanhong imdiately burst into loud sobs, “Grandma, a letter ca from the Capital, my mother…
she has passed away!”
“What?” ng Jinse grabbed his arm in one motion, staring at him as she said, “Big brother, don’t talk nonsense.
Mother is in such good health, how could she, how could she…”
Perhaps it was ng Hanhong’s expression that convinced ng Jinse; she believed his words and, halfway through her sentence, she burst into tears with a wail.
The old Madam ng was also shocked, but after all, she didn’t have the sa feelings for Wang Miaoshuang as ng Hanhong and ng Jinse did; she was much calr, “How did your mother die?
Did the letter explain clearly?
Didn’t the Capital send a letter before saying she was living well, even attending banquets for ritorious families in the Capital City?
How could she suddenly die?”
ng Jinse and ng Jinxia both looked at ng Hanhong, waiting for his answer.
“The letter said Mother got into an argunt that was too heated, and as a result… as a result… her internal organs were injured, and she passed away,” ng Hanhong said with difficulty.
He couldn’t believe what the letter said; he knew his mother had a bad temper, but how could soone die from anger?
It was not as if she had heart disease.
“This, how is this possible?
I don’t believe it!” ng Jinse exclaid, and her eyes rolled back as she fainted, leaning backward.
It was only because ng Hanhong was beside her and caught her in ti that she did not fall to the ground.
The room imdiately descended into chaos.
The old madam had people help ng Jinse onto a soft lounge, and Bai Ruozhu stepped forward and pinched her philtrum.
She woke up soon after but continued to cry incessantly.
Looking at the tears of the three ng siblings, Bai Ruozhu felt a bitter taste in her heart.
If the people in this room knew that she was the perpetrator, would they hate her to death?
Although she felt sorry for ng Jinse and her siblings, she did not regret killing Wang Miaoshuang.
Murder required atonent, and since Wang Miaoshuang dared to kill her second brother, she wouldn’t give Wang Miaoshuang an ounce of rcy.
Allowing her to live for an extra two months was already rciful.
Not to ntion that her second brother had survived.
So, Wang Miaoshuang did not deserve to die?
If it weren’t for the pill from Princess Diao Bin, her brother truly would have died.
She would never forget the peril of that night, the large bloodstain on her brother’s chest, and the harrowing state of him being on the brink of death.
Therefore, she had no regrets!
“Grandma, I want to go back to the Capital to mourn for my mother and also to clarify things, to see if my mother’s death was really as the letter stated.” ng Hanhong suddenly kneeled before the old Madam ng, “Please forgive your unfilial grandson for not being able to serve you well, please let go.”
ng Jinse struggled to rise from the soft lounge and also wanted to kneel before the old madam.
However, it was the old madam who firmly held onto her, preventing her from doing so.
“Grandma, I want to go too.
No matter what kind of person my mother was, she gave birth to us, let us go to mourn for her,” ng Jinse cried as she spoke.
Madam ng sighed deeply.
She had no sympathy for Wang Miaoshuang in her heart, always causing trouble wherever she went, what good was there in arguing with others?
She brought it upon herself in death, yet still managed to bring misfortune upon these two children.
“All of you stand up.
I’ll agree to it,” the old madam said sowhat angrily, “But you cannot just go back like this.
Take so ti to steady your emotions.
I need to arrange for so people to escort you, and there are things to prepare for the journey.
We’ll set out after three days.”
