It turns out that no matter what time, money is the courage of heroes. Oh, no, it should be said that money is everyone’s courage!

Even though Zhao Jiuniang was born timid, now that she had a considerable fortune in her hands, she stood very straight and spoke with the airs of a wealthy landlord.

"Zhao Jingshu, that's enough. Your second aunt is following you. What traps could be waiting for you when you return to the Minister's Mansion?

Should we let Sister Chuchu take Ye Xiaoer and me home first? No, no, take Pei Dingyang and me home! There might be dangers waiting for us at home. Please step aside for now."

Wu Zhongzhao was indeed a trustworthy person, with a very righteous character. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his family. He was just careless and ran out to play, which led to him being tricked by the kidnapper. It had nothing to do with the private affairs of his family.

But that poor unlucky guy Pei Dingyang was just like a cabbage rotten in the field. It could be said that he was particularly unpopular.

If that guy dares to go back alone, who knows who will find him in the hands of some kidnapper this morning or tomorrow night.

Even though the situation was already so difficult, he was still too proud to ask for help. There was nothing he could do. Who told him to be so loyal to his brothers?

He looked at the icy face behind him that was obviously scared but still holding on. He sighed helplessly, rushed forward to grab Chu Chi's sleeve, and began to speak sweet words to act pitiful.

"Sister Chuchu, can you please take us home? Xiaopang and Xiaoer are both timid. They are afraid that if they get buried in a pit like Xiaojiu did, what will happen?"

These words made Sun, who was standing behind him, so embarrassed that she couldn't respond. She could only laugh dryly twice, step back a few steps, and turn her head to look at the dark clouds in the sky.

Wow, the sun is really nice today, it makes the dark clouds look a little whiter, hehe.

Chu Chi nodded very decisively.

"Of course I will send you two home. But our friendship is friendship and business is business.

Let me make it clear first, you promised to reward me handsomely, and you must give it to me.

Otherwise I will be unhappy, ha ha!"

This unchanging threatening voice, with its familiar flavor, instantly reassured the children.

"Of course, Sister Chuchu, don't worry. I won't agree if they dare to give you even a penny less!"

Sun couldn't help but twitch her lips behind him. She had to say it, but the young master of the Wuguo Mansion was really too clumsy.

Being too extroverted and cruel is a disease and must be treated!

"Everyone, please get in the car quickly."

After Chen Lingfang had completed all the arrangements for entering the city, he smiled and came over to drive the carriage himself. There was no other way, because the Tiger King was squatting inside. The cowards under his command didn't dare to come, so he had to do it himself as an adult.

Zhao Jiuniang was persuaded, crying as if she was about to part with her loved ones forever. She waved her handkerchief and repeatedly told her sister Chuchu to come find her after sending the other two people off.

After Chu Chi's repeated assurances, she wiped her tears and got on her own carriage. After entering the city, they parted ways at the third fork in the road and headed towards the Minister's Mansion.

Chen Lingfang thought he might as well strike while the iron was hot and send Wu Zhongzhao back first, and then go to the Chu family to find Chu Lao San.

He had previously promised to escort Pei Dingyang, but as a mere bastard of a marquisate who had been demoted to a ninth-rank military officer, he did not dare to confront the Zheng family directly.

They acted as soon as they said it. County Lieutenant Chen, who always believed in quick decisions, led the way through the streets and alleys, turning several corners, and finally stopped his horse at the gate of Duke Wu's mansion.

He lifted his legs down from the shaft, skillfully took out a piece of sugar from the cloth bag in the carriage, and stuffed it into the mouth of the horse, which was so courageous that it had almost no limits.

This rare horse, who believes that life and death are indifferent as long as he has food, chews the candy with great crunch.

Then just tie the reins to a stone pillar, and you don't have to worry about it running away. After all, he has gotten rid of vulgar interests. Except for his obsession with food, he is not very interested in other things.

After straightening his clothes, Chen Lingfang went forward and knocked on the door.

It was still the concierge who came out to answer questions, but his attitude was completely different from that of the Zhao family. The Wu family concierge almost cried for joy when he saw his young master appear at the door, and he instructed the servant behind him with a trembling voice.

"Quick! Go and report to the Duke! Our young master is back!"

"Sister Chuchu, please come in quickly. Pei Dingyang and Lin Youan, please hurry up! Lord Chen, please come in. The yamen runners have worked hard, please come into my house and have a cup of hot tea and rest your feet."

Wu Zhongzhao enthusiastically pulled his friends towards his home until a rough and excited roar came from behind him.

"The dog left behind!"

Such a charming name made the smile on Wu Zhongzhao's face transfer to the faces of the group of bastards opposite at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Gousheng, my dear Gousheng, you're finally back! I thought I would never see you again in this life!"

Everyone only saw a large purple figure running wildly from the mansion and picking up Wu Xiaopang, who was obviously much weaker in comparison. The man who came was obviously a strong man with a big beard, but at this moment he was crying.

"Woo, woo, woo, my son!

You are finally back. Your father missed you so much during this period that he couldn't eat or sleep. Look how haggard I am now.

I thought I would have to bury my young one again, and this time I really will have no descendants!

Fortunately, my ancestors have blessed me, and fortunately, your mother is in the underground and has blessed me! Woo woo woo, my dog ​​is still alive..."

The ups and downs of the crying sound, every word and sentence has a unique rhythm. Wu Zhongzhao's chubby face changed from the initial excitement to the current expressionless face, perhaps in just a dozen breaths.

"Dad, that's enough. We are in public, can you please give me some face?!"

The little fat boy, who already knew how to save face, struggled to get out of his fat father's arms, then pulled the two groups of people together to introduce them.

"This is my father, Duke Wu Yong. This is my savior, Sister Chuchu. This is County Lieutenant Chen and his yamen runners. These two are my good brothers, one is Sister Chuchu's son Lin Youan, and the other is Pei Dingyang."

The previous introductions were all quite clear, but the last name was unclear. However, the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Duke Wu immediately noticed something was wrong.

He didn't even bother to greet his benefactor first. The burly and strong Duke Wu stared at Pei Dingyang up and down with his slightly fierce eyes, muttering to himself.

"…The second son of Prince Ding's mansion? The one who was born to the first wife, Pei Dingyang?"

He lowered his head and looked at his son. Wu Zhongzhao nodded guiltily and said "hmm" in a soft voice.

"OK."
