The realization that she and her son might have caused serious trouble thoroughly frightened Mrs. Li.
In just a short while, she was scared twice, each time more heart-wrenching than the last.
After a long moment, as Mrs. Li came to her senses, she looked at her eldest son who was still in deep thought and gave him a heavy slap across the face.
"What nonsense are you up to?"
"We’ve caused big trouble this time!"
"Hurry up, pack our things, I’ll go find your father, we can’t stay here any longer!"
After speaking with Yuan Shougui, Mrs. Li left in a hurry to find Yuan Pandi, needing to confess what she and her son had done, to avoid further trouble later.
Yuan Pandi was speaking with Yuan Yindi at the time, and upon seeing Mrs. Li approach, she stood up and said, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Husband, I was wrong!"
"I was really wrong!"
"We need to leave, all of us!"
Mrs. Li looked at Yuan Pandi and finally confessed everything that she and Yuan Shougui had done.
"You troublesome woman!"
The news of what Mrs. Li and Yuan Shougui had done really threw Yuan Pandi off balance.
"Big brother, don’t rush to get angry first!"
"Sister-in-law knows she was wrong now, it’s important we quickly pack up and prepare to move!"
Although Yuan Yindi was also very upset inside, the matter had already happened. The urgent thing was to quickly leave, not to hold anyone accountable.
Yuan Pandi let out a long sigh, hurriedly left the house, and went to see Old Yuan.
This unexpected change, he also had to report to his parents.
What could Old Yuan say when he heard the news?
The matter had already happened, unless they could intercept that letter, it would always pose a threat.
"Eldest, go and bring the fourth and Xiao Wu!"
Old Yuan thought for a moment and decided to try if they could intercept the posthouse letter.
Yuan Zhaodi and Yuan Yindi were called over, and after hearing their father’s idea, the brothers exchanged a look, instantly understood each other, and then nodded simultaneously.
"Dad, it’s worth a try!"
Yuan Zhaodi, having worked as a manager at the docks before, had encountered some posthouse messengers.
Generally, posthouse messengers delivering letters, unless it’s an official government document, aren’t too particular about secrecy and safety. While letters from ordinary families affected their income, they weren’t overly cautious.
"Then go give it a try!"
Old Yuan took a deep breath, "Here’s the plan: you three brothers try to see if you can intercept that letter. Meanwhile, I’ll quickly deal with the family’s belongings here. Whether or not you can intercept it, we’re leaving the day after tomorrow!"
Can’t afford to offend, but can afford to run.
As for the eldest grandson, if he obediently follows, fine. If he’s unwilling and still wants to cause trouble, then he can no longer be part of the Yuan Family. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fiɾe·net
The three brothers, Yuan Pandi, Yuan Zhaodi, and Yuan Yindi, went straight to Sanchuan City.
According to the posthouse’s rules, letters placed in the mailbox are cleared every evening, then sent out the next morning. Letters from the county are sent to the Prefecture City and handed over to different messengers depending on their destination.
The time for Yuan Pandi and the others to act would only be after the letters were taken out of the mailbox and before being sent to the Prefecture City.
The exact timing would depend on the opportunity.
The three brothers entered Sanchuan City and went straight to the posthouse location.
The posthouse mailbox was right outside the gate, with no one guarding it.
But the mailbox was nailed to the wooden post, making it not easy to remove.
