Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The two young men were completely caught off guard and instinctively positioned themselves in front of the elderly couple, even though the knife was already at their necks.
In terms of running, they felt that they could not escape. This road was an official road. It was almost the mid-autumn festival, and the soldiers would patrol the vicinity of the official road. That was why they dared to escort the two old masters with just the two of them.
Who knew that they would really encounter a robbery?
This was really committing a crime under the Emperor’s nose!
“You ugly old woman—” the leader tried to finish his sentence with a brave front, but as he caught the gaze of Old Madam Wang, his voice weakened somehow, “I—1 mean, leave your money behind, and we might spare your lives.”
Old Madam Wang said calmly, “Alright, stop acting here. You two, send these two juniors back to the village well. Remember my words, don’t let them lose a single strand of hair.”
The leader still wanted to pretend not to understand, but Old man Wang said from the side, “If I were you, 1 would quickly listen to her now. Otherwise, you won’t have a chance to listen later.”
In the end, the two juniors were arranged by seven or eight robbers to sit in another carriage that had been pulled out from somewhere. They rushed back, panting, in the direction of Wangbei County.
They were originally very suspicious, but when they thought of the various ridiculous rumors about the Wang Family in the village, they felt that there was nothing to suspect.
Even the Wang Family’s Ah Yu could have a Fairy Temple dedicated to her.
Even if someone told them that Ah Yu had an immortal by her side, they would believe it with their eyes closed.
There was no need to mention Grandma Wang’s words.
After they left, Old Madam Wang said to the leader, “Bring me to see your master.”
Although the leader did not know how they had been exposed, he had already tacitly decided that it was not appropriate to continue pretending now, so he obediently drove the carriage forward.
After going for about 20 miles, they arrived in front of a farmstead. There was already a row of servants waiting outside. When they saw the carriage approaching, they even came forward to ask before letting it pass.
When they arrived at the manor, the two of them were invited out of the carriage. Old man Wang was the first to jump down before turning around to pick up Old Madam Wang.
In the end, his movements were too big and he almost hurt his waist. Old man Wang’s face twitched in pain.
Old Madam Wang said angrily, “Do you think you’re still a brat? If your old bones are broken, there’s no way for you to stick them back.”
“Hehe, I know you feel sorry for me.” Old man Wang smiled until his face was covered in wrinkles.
The scene of the two of them talking was seen by the two old men in the distance. One of them’s eyes were filled with disdain, and the other said to the woman beside him, “Invite them over.”
“Yes.”
When Old Madam Wang slowly came closer, the others were also secretly sizing them up, wanting to know who they were. They actually had to trouble their master to make such an arrangement.
The meeting spot was a pavilion, surrounded by hanging curtains that concealed the activity within. Even if the wind carried some spoken words, if the voices were hushed, it would still be hard to make out any meaning.
Old Madam Wang looked straight ahead and walked in. When she saw the two people sitting inside, she revealed a look of understanding.
“Greetings, Duke and Duchess.” Old Madam Wang bowed to the two of them.
“Greetings, Duke and Duchess!” Old man Wang also bowed.
Those two people were none other than Duke An and Madam An. Both of them were already old and looked very weathered.
Duke An could still maintain his expression, but Madam An’s eyes were filled with tears as she cried, “An’er, come over and let Mother take a look…”
Old Madam Wang did not move.
However, when she heard the long-lost name, her little finger subconsciously twitched..
