Song Mingtao originally wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Su Yue. She asked Song Mingtao to stay at the manor and continue to strengthen defenses in case of a sudden attack by Master Lin's men.

He also asked Song Mingtao to send people to clean up two courtyards for Zhong Tie's family and apprentices to live in.

At this time, Nanny Yang said, "Miss, no matter what, Rendong has to go with you. With her around, you will have a helper."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."

Su Yue, her servant, and Zhong Tie each got in a carriage and set off quickly. The carriage first arrived at Zhong Tie's house. As soon as Zhong Tie got off the carriage, Su Yue opened the carriage and spoke to Zhong Tie.

"Uncle Zhong, the situation is urgent, just pack up your valuables. As for the rest, I have everything in my manor, and you can fill in any gaps when the time comes. In this situation, the most important thing is not to be discovered by the people in Lin Guogong's mansion."

Zhong Tie nodded and quickly went into the house to ask his family to pack up. Zhong Tie's mother, wife and children were a little panicked at first, but after listening to Zhong Tie's explanation, they were also frightened and acted quickly.

"If I hadn't told you that, this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't taken that broken thing. Now look what's wrong with us mothers and I. We have to flee with you to the ends of the earth." Zhong Tie's wife complained as she packed up.

Zhong Tie's mother felt bad when she heard her daughter-in-law say this about her son. "It's no use blaming Tie'er. He didn't want things to turn out this way. He also wanted to make more money to support the family."

Zhong Tie sighed helplessly and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying these things. It is important to pack up your things quickly.

You don’t need to take those big items, just take a few newly made clothes and the silver, and we will ask the girl for the rest when we get to the farm.”

After a while, Zhong Tie and his family packed up their belongings. Fortunately, the iron shop was not far from where they lived, so Zhong Tie closed the shop quickly.

He also brought his three apprentices with him, and the three apprentices carried with them their usual working tools and the remaining materials in the shop.

Su Yue looked at the three iron shop apprentices and asked doubtfully: "Where are your families?"

The three apprentices all hung their heads and did not answer, while Zhong Tie sighed and said, "They are all poor people who lost their families early. I took them in as apprentices because I felt sorry for them. I wanted them to have a skill so that they would not become beggars in the future."

Su Yue looked at Zhong Tie with some surprise. She didn't expect that this rough man had such a kind heart.

She nodded slightly and said softly: "In this case, you can rest assured in the manor from now on. As long as you do your job honestly, I will not treat you unfairly.

You should leave now, Uncle Song will make arrangements for you when you return to Zhuangzi."

Zhong Tie thought Su Yue had other things to do so he did not ask any more questions and asked the servant driving the car to take them back to the manor quickly. He was afraid that if they stayed for another second, someone from the Lin Guogong Mansion would show up.

Zhong Tie and his family hurried to the farm in a carriage. Inside the carriage, Zhong Tie's wife was still worried and kept muttering, "What should I do from now on? My good life has been disrupted like this."

Zhong Tie's mother hugged her grandchildren tightly and asked nervously, "Tier, who was the girl who just talked to you?"

When Zhong Tie's wife heard the word "girl", she remembered the quick glance she had just gotten. The girl was really beautiful.

Zhong Tie glanced at his mother and wife, and said softly, "Mom, that's Miss Song. She is the one who placed the order for twenty crossbows this time, and the place we are going to later is her farm.

We will continue to live as usual when we get there. I will be responsible for her ironwork. She has also promised to provide us with three meals a day and give us a high monthly salary. "

Zhong Tie's wife frowned slightly after hearing this: "Can this girl be trusted? Our whole family depends on her."

Zhong Tie sighed slightly: "Now we can only take it one step at a time. Miss Song seems to be a kind person and will not treat us unfairly. Besides, we don't have any other choice now."

Zhong Tie's wife was still frowning. She said worriedly, "I don't know what life will be like on this farm. What if someone from Duke Lin's Mansion comes looking for us?"

Zhong Tie comforted him, "I have also asked Miss Song about this issue, and she said she has a way to deal with it. Since she said so, let's relax and stay in the manor. We can make plans after the storm has passed for a while."

The carriage fell silent for a moment. Outside the window, the scenery on both sides of the road was rapidly receding, but the hearts of Zhong Tie's family were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

On the other side, Su Yue and Ren Dong watched the two carriages leave and then went to the most famous restaurant in the capital to book a luxurious room and ordered a large table of delicacies from land and sea.

As soon as the dishes were served, Su Yue said, "Don't just stand there and watch. Sit down and eat. After you're full, take a rest. We'll take action tonight."

Honeysuckle swallowed and forced herself not to look at the table. "Young lady, please eat. I will clean up the remaining dishes."

Su Yue patted the stool next to her and said, "Just sit down and eat. It's not tasty for me to eat alone."

Honeysuckle hesitated for a moment, but eventually sat down slowly. She picked up the chopsticks carefully, but did not dare to pick up the dishes that looked so exquisite.

Seeing this, Su Yue picked up a large chicken leg and put it in the honeysuckle bowl, smiling and saying, "Eat quickly. We still have things to do tonight, so we need to get enough rest."

Honeysuckle picked up the big chicken leg a little embarrassedly and said, "Girl, what are we going to do tonight?" Then she took a big bite of the chicken leg.

Su Yue saw how deliciously Ren Dong was eating, and she instantly felt hungry as well. "I plan to get rid of that Master Lin."

When Jin Dong heard this, she almost choked on the chicken leg in her mouth. "Ah! Girl, this... this is too dangerous. There must be a lot of guards around Lord Lin. No matter how powerful we are, four punches can't defeat so many hands. How can we succeed?"

Su Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression firm. "With the space here, what's there to be afraid of? He who dared to touch my crossbow will pay the price tonight. Besides, if we don't get rid of him, he will find out that Zhong Tie's family is gone and will follow the clues to cause trouble for us."

Looking at Su Yue's determined expression, Ren Dong felt a surge of courage even though she was still worried. "Since the young lady has made up her mind, I will definitely follow you with all my strength. However, we need to plan carefully."

Su Yue put another shrimp into Ren Dong's bowl and said, "You are absolutely right. The guards at Duke Lin's mansion are very strict. We need to find out the deployment of the guards in his mansion first."

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, the waiter suddenly knocked on the door and came in with a large basin of ice. Su Yue and Rendong also shut up tacitly. At this time, Su Yue saw two familiar figures walking past the door.

Ren Dong also saw it. She stopped chewing the chicken leg and moved closer to Su Yue and said, "Girl, the person who just walked past seemed to be the second girl, but who is the man next to her?"
