The next day, Yan Mingzhu and Mrs. Yuan Da were busy fertilizing the vegetable garden together.
At this time, Chang's mother hurried over and said, "First Madam, Second Madam, Cousin, the old Madam has something important, and I want you to go over and discuss it immediately."
Mrs. Yuan Da saw Chang's mother looking worried and thought it was Mrs. Yuan who was unwell, so she immediately dropped what she was doing, "But mother is unwell?"
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? I'll go over too!"
Chang's mother hurriedly said: "The old lady is not feeling unwell, she just has something very important that she needs to discuss with you, the eldest lady. The old lady said that the third girl does not need to go there."
Yuan Yi smiled and pouted unhappily, but she didn't make a fuss. She took the wooden spoon from Yan Mingzhu's hand sensibly, "Cousin, go ahead and leave the rest of the work to me.
"
"Then I'll have a hard time smiling."
When Yan Mingzhu and the others went to the house of the senator's wife, a servant secretly carried them in another direction.
Inside the house, Mrs. Yuan Da took a few steps forward to check, "Mother, are you really okay?"
"Don't worry, I can still last a few more years with my old bones. That's why I called you here."
The senator's wife stretched out her hand, and suddenly there was a seal in her palm.
Mrs. Yuan Da took it over, turned it over and looked at the meaning on the seal, then looked at the seal carefully, her expression suddenly changed.
Mrs. Yuan Er saw that she had a strange look on her face, and came over to look at her. She was equally shocked, "Mother, this... this is father's private seal? Where did you find it? Father's private seal is not always with him.
Around?"
"Last night, when I was sleeping, I heard something moving outside the window. I got up to check and found a white dove. This private seal was tied to the white dove's leg."
Yan Mingzhu asked: "Grandma, are you sure this private seal really belongs to my grandfather?"
"This private seal was personally handed down from the previous lords of the palace. After a hundred years, I will naturally not admit my mistake."
When Mrs. Yuan Er heard this, she immediately became excited: "It's impossible for a private seal to appear on a white pigeon for no reason. Could it be... Could it be that Shen'er is still alive?"
"Brothers and sisters, if Shen'er is really alive, why didn't he show up and send the private seal to the marquis's house in this way? Father and the others will never treason.
As long as Shen'er comes back alive and goes to His Majesty to explain clearly what happened in the Battle of Yueshan, won't father and the others be cleared of their unfounded charges?"
What Mrs. Yuan Da said was not unreasonable. Mrs. Yuan Er couldn't find a reason for a while and was disappointed again, but she still murmured to herself: "If...if Shen'er is really still alive, even if there is only a glimmer of hope..."
"No matter who sent this private seal to the Hou Mansion, it must not fall into the hands of others until the Yuan family can be completely overturned. Zhuzhu, the private seal will be temporarily handed over to you for safekeeping. Remember to be careful.
."
Yan Mingzhu took it with both hands, "Yes, grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter will keep it carefully."
At this moment, a dark shadow quickly passed by outside.
The senator's wife and the others had no martial arts skills, so they were naturally unaware of it, but Yan Mingzhu had noticed it long ago, glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and took it back pretending not to know anything.
While Yan Mingzhu was paying attention, the elder's wife patted the back of her hand with some worry.
Yan Mingzhu raised her face and smiled slightly, "Grandma, don't worry."
After getting the private seal, Yan Mingzhu did not go out that day, but embroidered in the house.
Most of the patterns on the coat have been embroidered, and before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.
Liu Xiang came in with a washbasin, "Girl, it's getting late, it's time to wash up."
Yan Mingzhu put down the things in her hands and let Liu Xiang in. After washing up, she went to bed to rest.
Until late at night, there were figures shaking outside the window, with the moonlight shining through, and smoke gradually drifting into the house through a thin tube.
After confirming that there was no movement in the room, a figure flew in from the window lattice, landed quietly on the ground, and approached the bed.
The person on the bed seemed to have fallen asleep, and without any notice, the man in black began to rummage openly.
There isn't one at the head of the bed, nor at the end of the bed. Could it be... that it's hidden on the body?
Just when the man in black's hand touched Yan Mingzhu's waist, suddenly, a jade hand grabbed his wrist.
A cold voice followed: "Are you looking for this?"
The man in black was stunned, and subconsciously looked up, only to see that the seal he was looking for was actually in Yan Mingzhu's left hand!
He immediately reached out to grab it, and while raising it, Yan Mingzhu kicked him in the chest, knocking the man in black directly off the bed and rolling around on the ground.
The man in black showed fierce eyes and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, "Seeking death!"
When the dagger was stabbing towards her lifeline, Yan Mingzhu kicked the back of the dagger with just the tips of her toes. At the same time, she slashed with her right hand, then pinched it down, twisting the hand of the man in black holding the dagger.
Broken muscles and bones!
"ah!"
The man in black screamed, and with his only intact hand, he took out a smoke bomb from his waist, trying to escape while throwing the smoke bomb.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the smoke bomb was thrown out, Yan Mingzhu spun on the bed, sat up, and kicked the smoke bomb with her toes.
At the same time, she stretched out her hand to catch it, and the smoke bomb landed steadily in her palm.
Without giving the man in black a chance to react, Yan Mingzhu grabbed the man in black's chin, removed his mandible, and stuffed the smoke bomb into his mouth with his backhand.
"Running away when you can't fight is like eating something and having sex for nothing. Want to run away? You are so beautiful."
After Liu Xiang heard the instructions in the room, she pushed the door open and came in, "Girl, have you been caught?"
"Here it is."
Liu Xiang looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a man in black tied up into a rice dumpling, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, rolling around like a ball on the ground.
"The girl is so powerful. She took down someone so quickly. It's hard work, girl. Why don't you leave it to a slave to interrogate her?"
Yan Mingzhu nodded in agreement. This was the first time Liu Xiang was interrogating someone. She was very excited and trotted up to the man in black.
"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate my girl? Tell me no! Tell me no!"
Liu Xiang was particularly fierce, punching and kicking the man in black, who just waited for him to make a whining sound.
Yan Mingzhu watched the excitement for a while, then coughed and said: "Liu Xiang, the cloth on his mouth has not been removed."
Liuxiang suddenly realized, no wonder, she felt that the assassin's bones were quite hard. She kicked him so hard and he didn't even yell. It turned out that his mouth was gagged with a cloth and he couldn't speak!
"Tell me, who sent you to steal the seal?"
The man in black said goodbye with dignity, "Kill me if you dare, otherwise don't try to get anything out of my mouth!"
Liuxiang rolled up her sleeves and planned to beat this tough-talking guy into a pig head to see if he still dared to be arrogant!
Yan Mingzhu made a gesture and looked down at the man in black.
