After the discussion, Shu Xin left Madam Wu and prepared to go back.

As soon as I walked out of Madam Wu's yard and came to a fork in the road, I saw Peng San from afar.

He was walking stealthily up the mountain.

This is the mountainside. On the higher mountain is where the boss and the second in command live.

Shu Xin had a feeling that since Peng San was behaving so suspiciously, he must have some unspeakable secret.

She thought for a moment, then followed secretly.

Fortunately, she had space to hide and was not easily discovered.

Otherwise, with Peng San's cunning and insidiousness, I would be in trouble if he found out.

Shu Xin followed Peng San all the way to the residence of the second in command on the mountain.

There was no one guarding the door. Peng San knocked on the door. After hearing a response from inside, he went in.

Shu Xinxin understood. It seemed that the second in command had been waiting for Peng San for a long time, so he sent away the people guarding the door.

This just happens to be convenient for Shuxin.

She used space teleportation to move closer to the window, hid in the space, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two people in the room.

"...Damn Xu Lao Hu, pretending to be a love-sick man. Now that the epidemic is spreading everywhere, it is the time to rise up and start a business, but he has ignored so many brothers and only wants to marry a wife and concubines and live in peace in a corner."

The one who spoke was the second in command.

From his tone, you can tell how disgusted he is with the boss's behavior.

Shuxin curled her lips.

Wow, this second in command is actually a career-oriented guy.

So does he now have a disagreement with the boss Xu Lao Hu about the future development direction of Qingfeng Village?

It's better to have disagreements, so that when they fight, they won't care about her and Madam Wu and the others.

That would be more helpful for them to escape.

"Isn't it? Second brother, no, boss, you and I are on the same page. We have all become bandits. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't make a career?"

Peng San was also smart. He originally called the second in command "second brother", but immediately changed his name to "big brother".

The second in command laughed twice.

From the sound of his voice, you can tell that he is very satisfied with Peng San's approach.

Seeing this, Peng San continued to work hard.

"Boss, why don't we kill Xu Lao Hu together, and you can be the boss. We brothers will definitely follow you to the death!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Peng San quickly encouraged.

In fact, he had already seen that the second in command had this plan.

The second in command was not in a position to express this idea out loud due to their brotherly love, so he could only speak out on his own initiative.

The room was silent for a moment.

Shu Xin guessed that the second in command must be pretending to think.

Sure enough, after a while, the second in command expressed his opinion.

"really?"

"Of course, I am willing to be your vanguard!"

The second in command's low laughter was heard again in the room, and the sound of him patting Peng San on the shoulder was also heard.

Then the two of them lowered their voices, as if discussing specific actions.

Shuxin couldn't hear clearly even when she got closer.

She only heard what the people in the room were talking about, birthday parties, wedding banquets, and private conversations with more people.

Shuxin couldn't hear it, nor was she in a hurry.

Their plan is nothing more than to suppress the situation by force and force Xu Lao Hu to step down and give way to others.

However, Shu Xin was cautious and planned to tell Madam Wu about this later.

After all, if there is infighting within the village, there is a risk of innocent people being harmed.

It seems that the second in command really dislikes the three of them, mother and daughter, so it is reasonable for her to be more vigilant.

Shu Xin didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that the guards would come back and find her.

She turned around and quietly went down the mountain and returned to her room.

Yu Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her come back.

The two talked about the agreement with Madam Wu and planned to find an opportunity to contact Tao Miaomiao and the others tomorrow.

Then I went to bed.

And at this time in Yunmeng City.

Tao Jiaojiao looked at the prescription in her hand and didn't look up for a long time.

She was very familiar with the handwriting on the prescription. It was Yu Ansheng's handwriting.

When she saw Shu Xin and Tao Miaomiao before, she guessed that the Tao family should be here as well.

She thought they would take advantage of the chaos to leave that day, but she didn't expect that they would still stay in the city.

Knowing this, she became uneasy.

She remembered yesterday that there were five girls in the carriage that day.

Another person was thrown off the carriage by Peng San and his whereabouts were unknown.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She was afraid that the girl had returned to the Tao family safely and told them everything that happened in the carriage that day.

Originally, she didn't care whether the Tao family would hate her.

However, in the past two days, people infected with the epidemic have appeared in and outside the city.

All the doctors in the city were sent to help.

Not only does she not have enough staff, but she also has to spend a lot of money.

She was unwilling to give in, so she turned her attention to the Tao family.

She knew Yu Ansheng very well and knew that he was a soft-hearted and pushy person.

If he knew the situation in the city, he would definitely not stand idly by.

In this way, as long as the Tao family can help, she will be able to save face in front of Liu Jinyan.

Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind.

She must visit the Tao family.

At this time, no one in the Tao family was asleep.

When Xiao Beiyuan and Tao Zhiyi came back two days ago, they brought back news about Shu Xin and the others.

It was not until today that Zhao Shunping received the message from Xiao Beiwang, and everyone knew that Shu Xin and the others had been captured and taken to Qingfeng Village.

At this time, several adults from the Tao family gathered together, looking solemn.

The younger ones were taken downstairs by Zhou to rest.

Tao's face was pale and he looked very depressed.

"I didn't expect Shuxin and Miaomiao to be kidnapped to such a place. That's a bandit's den. What should we do?"

As she spoke, tears began to flow down her cheeks.

Yu Ansheng felt very sad when he saw that his wife seemed to have suffered a great blow and even had a lot of white hair appearing overnight.

When Shu Xin, Tao Miaomiao and Yu Fang were abducted, Tao became so anxious that she fell ill.

Because she was seriously ill, there was no medicine for her at home.

In order to get medicine for her, Yu Ansheng had to write a prescription himself and go to the city to get the medicine.

Of course, his prescription finally fell into Tao Jiaojiao's hands.

This also made Tao Jiaojiao more certain that the Tao family was still in the city and had not left.

In fact, Tao had always been in good health, but this time he was so sick that he almost couldn't get up.

That's because I'm depressed and can't be happy.

On the one hand, he was worried about Shuxin, Tao Miaomiao and others, and on the other hand, he was extremely disappointed with Tao Jiaojiao.

When Xiao Beiyuan came back that day, she was vague about the details, but everyone still learned from her that Shu Xin and the others were kidnapped because of Tao Jiaojiao.

The most disappointed and upset is Dow.

Regarding the farewell outside Shengjing City, she kept making excuses for Tao Jiaojiao, thinking that she had just returned to the Shu family, and if she showed too much concern for the Tao family, it would make the Marquis and others unhappy.

In her heart, she still thinks Tao Jiaojiao is always that kind and good girl.

But she actually did such a thing this time, she still couldn't believe it.

More of a self-blame.

I blame myself as a mother for not being able to protect my own child.

He also blamed himself for doting on Tao Jiaojiao for so many years, but he didn't expect Tao Jiaojiao to be such a selfish and cruel person.

Even the strongest body couldn't stand such self-torture, which is why she became so seriously ill.

She was still having a high fever at the moment, but she heard that there was news from Xiao Beiwang, so she managed to come over.
