Chapter 234 The undercurrent is surging
Seeing that Song Zhi agreed, Zheng Hui hugged Song Zhi and shook her happily.
Then he stood up and happily ran to the eaves to tell Wang about it, "Grandma, Sister Azhi is also taking me to the farm to play tomorrow. Can I go with her?"
Wang looked up at her granddaughter, whose face was filled with a bright smile, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Go, go."
When they fled here, their granddaughter had always been around them and they had no friends to talk to. Now that she could get close to Azhi, Wang was happy to see it happen.
So after the two agreed on the time to set off tomorrow, Song Zhi went home first.
In the evening, when the family sat together for dinner, Song Zhi talked to everyone about going to Ningtong Town.
"Then I'll trouble you to deliver the cakes tomorrow, big brother. I estimate I'll be back in the evening."
When the little ones heard that their sister was going to the farm, they all looked at Song Zhi. Their eyes showed that they also wanted to go and play.
Which child doesn’t like the activity of fishing and picking fruits?
But Song Zhi did not ask the children to come along, because the trip was short and rushed.
Secondly, this trip was not just for fun, and it would be somewhat inconvenient for her to bring several children with her.
So she said to the children, "Be good and help grandma with the chores at home. When your sister comes back, she'll take you to the county town to buy cloth to make clothes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the children became upset, especially Song Cheng, who had never been to the county town.
The little fellow's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Sister, will you take me to the county town too?"
Song Zhi nodded, "Bring them all!"
The children immediately cheered, instantly dispelling their previous disappointment.
The next day, Song Zhi got up early, packed up, and went to her master's house to meet Zheng Hui.
When Zheng Hui saw Song Zhi in men's clothing, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You look really smart in men's clothing. It makes me want to change into something too."
"Sister, if you have men's clothes, please change into them. This will make it more convenient for you to go up the mountain to pick fruit in the afternoon."
Zheng Hui thought it made sense. "Then wait for me for a while. I'll go back to my room and change." After saying that, she ran away.
Not long after, he came over wearing a brown suit, looking quite simple and capable.
Zheng Hui saw Song Zhi looking at her, and she scratched her head a little embarrassedly. "This is what I usually wear when I go up the mountain to collect herbs. Why is it not suitable?"
Song Zhi smiled and shook her head, "No, it's perfect! It's getting late, let's go!"
After saying that, they said goodbye to their families and hurried out the door.
On the other side, Wang Wanzhi led her younger brothers to pay their respects to Mr. Wang, and then led everyone out of the Wang residence.
After Wang Wanzhi left, Nanny Chen hurried over to report, "Madam, the eldest daughter has gone out, and she has brought a group of guards with her."
Chen suddenly sat up straight, "Did you find out where they are going?"
Nanny Chen shook her head. "Right now, the main house is like a locked-down place. It's very difficult to get any information from the little girl there. But don't worry, Madam. I've sent someone to follow them. Judging from the direction the carriage left, it should be heading out of the city!"
In fact, ever since she was locked up in the ancestral hall last time, Chen has been feeling very uneasy.
Later, the shopkeeper lent money at high interest, and her father-in-law found out. Half of her housekeeping power was taken away, which made her even more panicked.
You have to know that she really embezzled the public money and used it to do business with her brothers from her natal family. She also secretly instructed the managers under her to do favors for her brothers from her natal family.
Her father-in-law didn't confront her openly now, but it seemed that he always put the eldest wife first in everything, and her husband was a man who couldn't handle his own affairs and spent all day in brothels listening to music, so she couldn't rely on him at all.
If her father-in-law finds out about this, she will probably lose the remaining power as housekeeper!
Chen paced back and forth in the room anxiously. Nanny Chen, watching beside her, reminded her at the right moment: "Madam, we can ask our uncle to help keep an eye on the eldest lady."
"With him helping to cover up the situation from outside, I think nothing will go wrong."
Chen suddenly understood. "Yes, yes, go tell my eldest brother quickly and find out where that girl is going with so many people. Don't let her reveal anything or she will find out anything!"
Nanny Chen hurried to the Chen residence to ask to see Master Chen.
When Chen Xiangwen heard that it was his sister's wet nurse who came to visit, he immediately ordered someone to invite her into the house.
"Why is He so flustered so early in the morning?"
Nanny Chen then told the eldest uncle of the Chen family what had happened at home. "My dear uncle, Madam is worried that the eldest daughter will bring people to dig up old scores again. If she finds out something again, Madam will probably have to hand over the remaining half of the housekeeper power to someone else!"
"You're just outside, so it's convenient for you to act. Madam wants you to help clean up the mess and not give the young lady any handle!"
Chen Xiangwen's face darkened when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "Do you know where they went?"
Nanny Chen nodded repeatedly, "It seems they are heading out of the city. I have even sent someone to follow them. I will report to the master when they return!"
Chen Xiangwen nodded, "Okay, I know you should go back first!"
With her uncle's approval, Nanny Chen completed the task assigned by the lady and then respectfully withdrew.
After the people left, Chen Xiangwen's face instantly turned gloomy. The ghost of the eldest wife of the Wang family was really lingering.
Well, there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in.
So Chen Xiangwen immediately called his men over and gave them these instructions.
After receiving the order, the subordinate turned around and left.
When Song Zhi and Zheng Hui arrived at the county town, Wang Wanzhi's carriage was already waiting at the foot of the city.
Unlike the people who were queuing up to sell food, Wang Wanzhi and her group were very eye-catching.
The exquisite carriage and a team of strong guards stood out among the crowd of people carrying grain to sell in the city.
Song Zhi recognized it as Wang Wanzhi's carriage at a glance, and immediately led Zheng Hui in the direction of the carriage.
But before they could get close to the carriage, the head of the guards stepped forward and blocked their way, clearly looking as if he wanted to keep strangers away.
Song Zhi didn't get annoyed and just called out, "Sister Wang, I'm here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Wanzhi opened the car curtain and saw Song Zhi in men's clothing. Although she was stunned, she smiled and said, "Sister, you are here. Get in the car quickly!"
The leader of the guards, upon seeing that the person coming was the one the young lady was waiting for, quickly stepped aside to let the two pass.
Song Zhi led Zheng Hui forward. She first introduced Zheng Hui to Wang Wanzhi, "Since we're going to the farm to pick fruit, it will be more lively with more people, so I took the initiative to bring Sister Zheng..."
Before Song Zhi could finish her words, Wang Wanzhi leaned forward and took their arms. "Sister, there's no need to say more. I'm also very happy to make more friends. Come on, get in the car and let's talk."
After the two climbed onto the carriage, Wang Wanzhi told the driver to set off.
What few people don’t know is that a crisis is quietly approaching.
