Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

As soon as the carriage drove out of Zhuangzi, it started to speed up and galloped forward.

Several maids in the carriage behind were knocked dizzy.

Qiu Tang shouted: "What's going on? Is this driver crazy? Why is he driving so fast, everyone is almost falling apart!"

Aunt Fang shouted sternly: "Shut up! The girl didn't say anything, how can you speak? If you don't want to sit, just get out of the car and walk!"

Qiu Tang trembled and thought to herself, she usually didn't see Fang scolding these maids, what happened today? In the end, he didn't dare to say anything and sat quietly in the car.

The vehicle did not drive into Rongcheng, but instead drove towards the capital. Several maids noticed something was wrong and looked at Fang Dongdong secretly. Fang Dong closed his eyes, as if he was asleep. Lancao gently tugged on the thumping sleeve below, "Mommy, where are we going?"

Fang Dongdong looked outside through the curtains, "Let's go back to the capital. The girl is homesick."

Qiu Tang was anxious. I thought I was going to Rongcheng, but I didn’t expect to go back to the capital! After returning to the capital, it was even more difficult to see the crown prince.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Isn't the prince leaving with the girl?"

Fang Dong glanced at Qiu Tang and said, "This is not something you should worry about."

To be honest, Fang Dongdong also hated this airborne maid. She is foul-mouthed and greedy for money, but this is the daughter of Grandma Zhang who is the Duke's wife, and she can't just drive her out.

Hey, it’s not easy for a girl!

Although the prince is looking after him, he is not always there after all. How could he know about all the twists and turns in the inner house? Madam Xia is really a girl, and she is willing to take her place even in such dangerous matters, but it's a pity...

I just hope that in the future the prince can marry a sister-in-law who is as sincere to girls as Mrs. Xia.

About an hour after Xia Chuntao and his carriage left, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded Zhuangzi. The bankers were panicked and didn't know what was happening.

The leading official shouted to the villagers: "Call your village owners to come out!"

The owner of the village, Old Liu, heard the sound and stepped forward, "Sir, our village owner went to discuss business and we haven't come back yet."

"Did your village owner bring a twelve or thirteen year old girl here?"

"Brought it."

"Where's the person? Bring her here to me!"

Old Liu looked confused, "That girl and her servants have left."

"Leave? Say it again!"

Old Liu Zhan replied tremblingly: "Master, we ordinary people don't dare to deceive you. The girl left more than an hour ago, and many farmers saw it."

The officer glanced at the surrounding dealers with sharp eyes, "Whoever saw this, please come forward!"

The dealers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t dare to come forward.

The officer whipped Old Liu and said, "Old thief, how dare you lie to me!"

Lao Liu screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Although the bankers were afraid of these officials, they never saw Lao Liu being treated like this.

Several dealers stood up one after another and admitted that they had seen the girl leaving with her servants.

"You only saw two carriages leaving, how can you be sure it was the girl who left?"

Several bankers looked at each other, how could they prove that the carriage belonged to that girl?

The officer suddenly pulled out his sword and said, "You dare to lie to me, are you tired of living?"

The farmers were so frightened that they squatted down with their heads in their hands, trembling all over.

"Do you still have any royal laws? If you dare to go to someone else's private manor to commit murder and blatantly threaten the people, aren't you afraid of being prosecuted by the court?" The person who came was none other than Yan Hong.

The officer saw a well-dressed middle-aged man approaching and asked, "Who are you? Do you have a role to speak here?"

"Are you Zeng Rui's subordinates? Go back and ask your master if he is afraid of anyone? For example, Wu Daishan, the minister of Dali Temple."

Wu Daishan had always won the heart of Emperor Wu for his uprightness. No matter how civil and military officials in the dynasty fought among themselves, they would never dare to fight in front of him. This master can do anything and won't give face to anyone.

After hearing this, the official hesitated.

"You are……"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but if you dare to enter the village to search randomly or hurt someone today, Zeng Rui will be personally interrogated by Mr. Wu in the future! You can decide for yourself."

The official looked at the man in front of him, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, but he had the aura of an official. He calls me by his full name every time he speaks. Could it be that... this man has a higher official position than me?

When I was in a dilemma, a child next to me said in a crisp voice: "I saw it. I saw the mother-in-law next to the sister opened the car curtain."

The woman next to the child was so frightened that she wanted to cover his mouth.

The officer stared at the child and the woman. The woman held the child and begged for mercy.

"He is still young and ignorant. Don't blame me, adults. Don't blame..."

Judging from this situation, it must be true.

"Come here, leave twenty people to continue surrounding Zhuangzi, don't let a fly fly out! Others, follow me!"

The villagers saw a large group of officers and soldiers riding away in the dust. But he was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. Yan Hong understood everyone's trepidation. They were all ordinary people. How many of them had seen such a big battle?

"Everyone go back first and close the door tightly. Don't go out until Mrs. Xia comes back."

Lao Liu covered his beaten shoulder, "Everyone, Mr. Yan, please go back first, close the door tightly, don't panic, and trust the owner of the village. Without the owner, would we be able to live as we are now?"

After listening to the advice, everyone rushed home as quickly as possible and closed their doors tightly. Some even boarded up the windows and sealed all the corners, which seemed to give them a little peace of mind.

The carriage of Xia Chuntao and his entourage was speeding on the road. After traveling for about an hour, they passed by a town. Xia Chuntao asked the guards to clear the way, and the group entered the town.

The guard found a hotel with a lot of people, and everyone went in to rest.

Fang Dongdong took several maids to a separate room. Lancao was a little strange, "Mommy, aren't we going to serve the girl?"

"You are exhausted too. Take a rest here while I wait on the girl." After saying this, a guard came up with food.

"How can that be done? How can you be allowed to serve the girl alone?"

Qiu Tang didn't want to be so tired and still have to wait for people. Seeing that the food was not bad, she pulled the orchid grass and said, "You are the only one who is troublesome! If you are not hungry, I am still hungry!"

"But……"

"Okay, you guys eat first, and I'll go see the girl. There's a lot of people here, so don't leave the room casually."

Aunt Fang arrived at Xia Chuntao's room, "Ms. Xia, I've settled the girls."

"Aunty, please stay here for the next two days. Don't worry. The prince's people will come to pick you up tomorrow at the latest."

"Old slave, please listen to Madam Xia's arrangements."

A quarter of an hour later, the group of people got on the carriage one after another as they had just arrived. The two carriages circled the market for a while and stopped in a remote corner.

Grandma Fang got out of the car with a few maids. The maids looked around and noticed something was wrong.
