Chapter 278 The Regent and His Amnesiac Childhood Sweetheart 33

It was still eerily quiet all around, but the sky was getting brighter.

The wall protecting the yard was nearly two meters high. Su Wanti could not see the other side of the wall from the door. She could only see the orange-red flames behind the wall.

A circle of fire was gradually shrinking, and the yard where he was was the center.

Su Wanti was more nervous than ever before. All signs indicated that her judgment was correct this time, and someone had found her.

As for who it was, she didn't know.

Possibly the Regent.

She deceived the regent's feelings and used him as a weapon for her revenge. If he found out that she was still alive, he would hate her to death.

It could also be the eldest princess.

After Su Wanti escaped, she inquired about the affairs of the capital and the royal family wherever she went, and her grandparents would occasionally pass on news to her.

In these three years, she had never heard the news of the eldest princess' death. She thought that after the eldest princess was stabbed by He Anping, she must have been saved by the accompanying imperial physician and luckily survived.

Less than a month after that incident, He Anping was sentenced to public beheading by the Dali Temple.

On a cold and gloomy day before New Year's Eve, He Anping was pushed outside the palace wall and beheaded in front of tens of thousands of civilians.

However, given the eldest princess's personality, she would not let it go just because of He Anping's death.

If the princess didn't find out that Su Wanti had escaped, it would be fine. But if she found out that she was still alive and had escaped, she would definitely send people to chase her to the ends of the earth just to take her life.

And the Su family...

Before Su Wanti left, she set a trap and caused all the Su family's shops to go bankrupt.

She also secretly took her mother away and asked her grandparents to pass a letter to her father, saying that their daughter was in poor health because of him, and had been bedridden for many years, and finally died of the illness.

He also arranged for his granddaughter to marry into the evil family of the He Mansion, and she was forced to commit suicide.

Now that my daughter and granddaughter are both gone, the affection between the two families is gone. From now on, we have severed all ties and have no further contact.

From then on, my grandparents stopped giving large sums of money to the Su family every year.

Over the years, thanks to Su Wanti's financial support and the large amount of silver and money sent by her grandparents, Su's father had become well-off and lived a life of extravagance and debauchery.

Suddenly losing his source of income, the shops and other assets under his name were inexplicably lost. Su's father could only live on a meager salary. He was short of money and life became difficult.

Accustomed to a luxurious life, Su's father set his sights on stealing government silver. However, after embezzling only a hundred taels, he was discovered by his superiors, beaten with a stick, removed from his official position, and thrown out of the government office.

At this point, Su's father's whereabouts are unknown.

If he were to find out that his wife and daughter were still alive, he would be filled with hatred towards them both and would seek revenge.

The surrounding firelight grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the already dark night sky as if the sky was about to brighten and the sun was rising.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Su Wanti's throat became dry and her heart was about to jump out.

She took a few steps back, closed the door, bolted it, wrapped the chain around it a few more times, and pushed a table in front of the door.

Then he quickly closed and locked every window in the room, leaving only a small window leading to the backyard.

This small window is on the north wall of the main hall.

Suyun also started to panic. She had realized that this time was completely different from the previous dozen times.

The previous dozen or so times were just false alarms, but this time it was real.

Now, she only regretted that she didn't listen to the young lady and pack her bags and run away the first time.

She and Chun Xing had moved with the young lady more than a dozen times and were really unwilling to move again. They had also relaxed their vigilance because of the previous "false alarms" more than a dozen times.

But the delay lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and I couldn't escape even if I wanted to.

"Miss, Chunxing hasn't come back yet, what should we do?" Suyun's face was pale and her voice was trembling.

Su Wanti said: "Looking at the situation outside, the front door and the back door should be blocked. We can only leave secretly."

"There is a dog hole under two bundles of hay at the foot of the west wall. I left it there on purpose. Let's go through that."

After going through the dog hole, you will reach the chicken coop next to the neighbor’s yard wall on the left.

There is a high probability that no one will pay attention to this kind of place, so it is possible to hide there and then take the opportunity to escape.

Before leaving the yard, she used the firefly pills in the treasure chest to set a fire to divert the attention of the visitors and create chaos in the situation.

Then the five of them would have a greater chance of escaping.

"You and I will first protect Mother and Xiao Miaomiao and jump through the north window. Then I will go find Chun Xing. You two will first go to the west wall, find the dog hole, and crawl through it."

"There are two bundles of hay under the west wall. Move the hay away and there is a dog hole underneath. Remember it?" Su Wanti looked solemn.

Suyun nodded, "I'll remember."

"Mother, Miaomiao." Su Wanti walked quickly towards the inner room.

Just then, mother Lin, holding little Miaomiao, opened the door curtain and said with a frown:

"Wan'er, the weather is not normal. There is no moon tonight, but why is it getting brighter outside the window? I am so nervous. Is nothing going to happen?"

A few years ago, her mother, Mrs. Lin, suffered a head injury and has only recently recovered fully. Su Wanti did not dare to tell the truth for fear of scaring her.

Su Wanti forced a smile and pretended to be calm, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay. But we have to move right away. The landlord is urging us to move. You and Miaomiao should come with us."

Lin looked doubtful, but although her illness was cured, her ability to think and judge had not yet fully recovered.

"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, she nodded obediently.

Su Wanti was so anxious that her palms were sweaty, but she couldn't panic in front of her mother.

He had no choice but to smile and stretch out his hands to hug Miaomiao, while giving Suyun a look.

Xiang Suyun signaled that as long as she held Miaomiao, Suyun would immediately drag Lin to the small window on the north side without wasting a moment.

Just as Su Wanti's hand was about to touch Xiao Miaomiao's plump little body, a loud bang suddenly came from the inner room.

The window of the inner room was kicked open from outside.

At this moment, Su Wanti's heart almost stopped beating. She reached forward desperately, but her hand came up empty.

The mother and Xiao Miaomiao were grabbed by the waist and carried away by several men in black who broke in through the window. The men in black were extremely fast and in just one second, they rolled the people out of the window and disappeared without a trace.

Su Wanti heard Xiao Miaomiao's sudden sharp cry, which quickly disappeared into the air.

Her hands were still hanging empty, too late to do anything.

"Mother...Miaomiao..."

Su Wanti's mind went blank, her eyes were filled with white light, her knees went weak, and she fell forward to the ground.

Su Yun's legs went limp, and she knelt on the ground in fear. She pushed Su Wanti with her trembling cold hands, "Miss, there's a sound at the door."

Her voice was also shaking unnaturally.

Su Wanti turned around and saw a sharp knife inserted into the gap between the two tightly closed doors. The knife was as thin as a piece of paper and could cut through iron like mud. It was inserted into the middle of the gap in the door and slashed downwards, cutting off the bolt and the iron chain that had been wrapped around it for several times.

Then, there was a force of gravity outside the door, and with a bang, the table blocking the door was lifted up and hit the wall directly opposite the door.

With a loud crash, the table was smashed into pieces.

The two wooden doors were not spared either and fell off, landing on the ground with a thud.

The yard was already ablaze with flames, lighting up the darkness like day.

The windows of the inner room and the door of the main hall were completely damaged and wide open, allowing the firelight outside to shine in, illuminating the room.

A dark shadow walked out from the scorching firelight and stopped at the door.

He was wearing a black hat that covered half of his face. He was very tall and dressed in black.

A fiery red flame gave him a layer of golden light, but because of his powerful and fierce pressure, this layer of gold did not add any warmth to him, but instead made him look even more majestic and terrifying.

Even though she didn't see the face clearly, Su Wanti still recognized it.

The person who came was the Regent, Dugu Cang.
