Chapter 884: Catching Adultery
Editor: Henyee Translations
The next moment, Nanny Xu made a prompt decision and said to the old woman beside her, “Call those two groups back. There’s no need to search.”
“W-why is that?”
Nanny Xu did not explain further. She only hurriedly said, “I’ll go back to the residence first.”
Then, she returned to the Zhou Mansion and did not dare to stop for a moment to look for Mrs. Zhou in the main courtyard.
She handed the note to Mrs. Zhou. The latter took a look and was equally shocked. “Is what this says true?”
“We’ll know once we take a look.”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly stood up. There was anger on her face, but there was also a faint joy.
She took a deep breath and asked Nanny Xu, “The butler is back?”
“He’s back.”
“Alright, let’s go. Bring him along.”
The butler was deeply trusted by Zhou Dafu. With him as a witness, it did not matter even if Old Master was drunk and unconscious.
Actually, the more convenient and suitable candidate was Ah Feng. Unfortunately, Ah Feng and Ah Hai were not around today.
That’s right. Because they weren’t around, Steward Zhou acted today.
Nanny Xu put a cloak on Mrs. Zhou and the group strode out.
When they walked out of the door, they happened to meet the butler who had returned. Mrs. Zhou said, “Someone saw Mrs. Ren going to Auspicious Inn in a hurry. I don’t know what she’s up to. e with me to take a look.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
The group hurried to the Auspicious Inn.
Not far away, Tong Shuitao, who had been observing them, ran away first. She took off her coat and ran straight to the inn. She sat in front of Gu Yundong and said excitedly, “Miss, your guess is right. As expected, the person at the main gate went to report to Mrs. Zhou. Then, Nanny Xu personally came out to look for her. According to what you said, I stuffed the note into her hand. At this moment, Mrs. Zhou is bringing people over.”
Gu Yundong nodded. If she wanted to tell Mrs. Zhou about this, she had to go through her trusted aide, Nanny Xu. Unfortunately, it was not easy for Gu Yundong to enter the Zhou Mansion, so she took a detour to let them discover that Old Master Zhou and the others had disappeared.
“Miss, what should we do now?” Tong Shuitao asked softly. “What if Mrs. Ren is guarding the door and Mrs. Zhou and the others e over? What if Mrs. Ren informs them?”
“It’s fine. Mrs. Zhou is not stupid.” Even if she was really stupid, there was still Gu Yundong.
Tong Shuitao was relieved. She held the teacup and took a sip of water.
Then, Mrs. Zhou came in with Nanny Xu and the butler.
Other than them, there were also a few people who came in.
The waiter of the inn saw that they were ing aggressively and was about to ask when Nanny Xu stuffed silver into his hands. Then, she said that the servants in the residence had stolen the property of the residence and hid here. They were here to arrest them.
The waiter looked at the silver and did not ask further.
Mrs. Xu said to an unfamiliar old woman, “Go up and take a look. Is Mrs. Ren here?”
The old woman nodded and came down after a while.
She nodded at Mrs. Zhou. “She’s indeed here.”
Mrs. Zhou said to the housekeeper, “I am right. Concubine Gu and Mrs. Ren have done something shameful. Master might have been harmed by them.”
The butler asked, “Then what does Madam plan to do?”
Mrs. Zhou had a cold smile on her face. She raised her hand and pointed at the two of them, whispering a few words.
Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao were sitting a little further away. Even though Tong Shuitao had stretched her ears, she still could not hear clearly.
