“Mistress, please punish me. I messed up this mission.” Magu kneeled after saying that.
“What’s going on? Thirty men can’t even overcome two people?” Mrs. Lu immediately sat up and asked.
“Someone saved them. I heard from the coachman who escaped that the bandits had already encircled them, and Gu Chengrui was injured.
“They just needed some time, and those two would definitely be beaten to death.
“However, a group of cavalrymen suddenly came and shot several of them to death. In addition, they came forward to help, so…”
“Cavalry? Do you know who they are?” Mrs. Lu’s eyes narrowed.
“I’m not sure. The coachman was far away then and didn’t hear what they said, but the couple and the cavalry seemed to know each other.
“After that, the husband and wife rushed to the dock under the escort of half of the cavalry. After interrogating the rest, they were all killed and buried nearby.” “Interrogate them? Do they know your identity?”
“I don’t think so. I was wearing a bamboo hat when I went to look for them.” “Hurry up and execute that coachman. Remember not to leak this to anyone.
“If my guess is correct, those cavalrymen are King Rui’s men.
“If he finds out, he will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. At that time, the Empress and the First Prince will be implicated, and even my husband will not be able to protect us.”
“Yes, I will arrange it now.” Magu bowed before returning to the small door.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Lu’s expression turned extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “I don’t believe you can be saved every time.”
After saying that, she arranged the blankets on her bed, making it look like someone was sleeping.
Then, she put on her clothes and entered the small door.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying followed curiously. She found that there was a tunnel inside, and it was divided into two roads after leaving the residence. Mrs. Lu went left, while Magu went right.
The tunnel on the left soon led to an exquisite courtyard.
Zhou Ying did not expect it to lead to an ancestral hall. Inside, there were two rows of ancestral tablets of the Lu family. From the way it was addressed, they were all her close relatives.
Mrs. Lu lit three incense sticks and said, “Father, Mother, Big Brother…
“Although I didn’t kill them to avenge you this time, I swear here that I will avenge you all in my lifetime.”
After saying that, she cried and sobbed for a while before turning around and heading back to her room.
Looking at her heavy footsteps, Zhou Ying did not know whether to hate or pity her.
Honestly, it was heartbreaking for her when her family, who had supported her for many years, was suddenly destroyed.
However, a pitiful person must have something hateful about them. They would not have ended up getting destroyed if they had not done so many bad things and tried to assassinate King Rui.
Therefore, this could only be said to be her retribution.
After that, Zhou Ying looked around the small courtyard and quickly found a basement under the table where the memorial tablets were placed.
The things inside really surprised Zhou Ying.
About twenty boxes of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry were there. Although each box was only ten liters, it was still quite a treasure.
There was also a small pile of gold ingots, along with twenty boxes of silver ingots.
This was about three times more than Yang Shicheng had at that time.
She was only the concubine. How many more treasures were there in the entire Marquis Ding’an Residence?
Thinking of this, she did not alert the enemy by taking the treasures. After retreating, she quickly followed Magu into a small courtyard, which was much more dilapidated..
