Chapter 905 Granny Wang Informs
"Alright," the officer interrupted Granny Wang. "Hurry up and carry the person away. We know about your report. If it's true, I'll report it to my superiors."
"Yes, yes, sir, please put in a good word for me. I have a younger sister who needs your care."
The officer waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Wang Pozi didn't say another word, turned around and left without looking back.
They lingered for a while, which delayed them a bit. They walked from the middle to the back, and as soon as they exited the Sun residence, they were surrounded by officials.
Du Mingxian couldn't see what was happening outside. Her hair was disheveled, and she had no strength. It hurt... Her front and back hurt, and she couldn't even lift her head.
She finally had a chance to connect with the outside world, but her body betrayed her.
Why don't you say a few more words?
If Granny Wang said a few more words, she might find out who led the raid on the Sun family mansion, preferably Wen Yibin, and then she could be saved.
But... this person really doesn't play by the rules at all.
As Wang Pozi walked forward, each step was extremely steady. Although she was carrying Du Mingxian on her back, she was clearly adjusting her breathing to make herself feel less uncomfortable.
Du Mingxian was able to sense it.
“They are government officials. It’s already good enough that they’re listening to me. If I keep lingering there and don’t say anything, the officials might just draw their swords. Judging from this, Madam must have done something big.”
"It's normal for two people to die during the scuffle when someone is raiding a property. I don't want to be someone's victim."
Listening to what Granny Wang was saying, Du Mingxian sometimes wondered if this person was also a time traveler. Just listen to how beautifully she spoke.
As Wang Pozi walked along, she felt quite fortunate that someone was throwing vegetable leaves at her. "See? There are so many of us. The people in front of us got vegetable leaves thrown at them, but when it's our turn to walk behind, no one throws vegetable leaves at us."
Du Mingxian remained silent. In her heart, Granny Wang was now a rare and exceptional talent.
They walked quite a distance, and only because Sun Xiangxiang's residence was in a good location did Granny Wang feel tired when she reached the Jingzhao Yin. However, she quickened her pace and started walking forward.
"What is this for?"
"You don't understand." Without explaining, Granny Wang silently carried Du Mingxian forward and soon reached the middle of the group.
Then the whole procession stopped, and the people at the front began to kneel down, chanting, "Your Highness, long live the Crown Prince, long live the Crown Prince, long live the Crown Prince."
Du Mingxian was overjoyed. She strained to look up and saw... the Crown Prince and his entourage had already entered. She could only see a few guards following behind the Crown Prince and guards standing at the door.
Her chance... If she had been in front then, she would have heard people shouting earlier. She could have shouted, but I wonder if the Crown Prince would have heard her.
The Crown Prince had already gone inside, and the people in front of him knelt down. Wang Pozi, carrying Du Mingxian on her back, naturally wouldn't kneel down, but fortunately, the Crown Prince and his entourage ignored them.
The procession continued, passing through the front gate of the Jingzhao Yin (Imperial Magistrate's Office), proceeding to a side gate, and then heading towards the prison.
As they approached the prison, Du Mingxian silently calculated in her mind that with Wang Pozi's energy, they would already be ahead of her by now.
Immediately, someone led the people inside. There were too many prisoners and not enough prison uniforms, so they were taken directly into the dungeon.
Men enter from the left, women from the right.
Granny Wang carried Du Mingxian into the prison cell first, but... Sun Xiangxiang was in the lead. After Sun Xiangxiang entered a cell, Granny Wang quickly went to the cell next door.
The remaining old women also went to the next cell and entered the same cell as Wang Pozi. Only the few people who served in Sun Xiangxiang's courtyard entered the same cell as Sun Xiangxiang.
The cell on the left is large, with twenty or thirty people in one big room. All the men in Sun Xiangxiang's mansion were locked in six cells.
There were fewer women; there were two prison cells.
Granny Wang came in early and moved very quickly. As she walked in, her feet were constantly moving. She didn't care whether the grass on the ground was good or not; she simply used her feet to gather it together and put it in her footwell.
The man quietly crouched down, using his body to shield Du Mingxian as he lowered her down, and at the same time, he stuffed the silver into the straw.
Some people were dissatisfied, saying, "Hey Wang Pozi, you've piled up most of the thatch, what are we supposed to use?"
"Then you should think of a way. You're perfectly capable, why not let the patient have some support? She can't move anyway, and if you don't cushion her, the cell floor is so hard."
The man was about to speak when he was pulled away by another person.
Granny Wang snorted coldly, quietly approached Du Mingxian, pulled some straw from Du Mingxian's body to cushion her own bottom, and then leaned back comfortably without saying a word, observing her surroundings.
Du Mingxian still had no strength and was leaning on Granny Wang. The straw that Granny Wang had pulled earlier was also the only thing keeping her from seeing the outside world.
She even suspected that Granny Wang might be experienced, having chosen this spot to have a clear view of everything inside and outside the prison cell.
"How did you know to come in early to choose a seat?" she finally asked, voicing her doubts.
Granny Wang ran in from the front to get the silver and used it as a cover, then came out and reported it to the officials. She walked at the back of the procession and then back to the front. All of this was done calmly and quite wisely.
"experience."
"experience?"
Granny Wang glared at her and said, "You'd better talk less and save your energy. Even though we are servants, we might still be interrogated. Save your energy."
"I am not a member of the household."
"But you live in the mansion, your husband has an affair with the madam, and if the madam gets into trouble, your husband can still get away unscathed? Dream on."
Du Mingxian: "..." This person is too amazing.
"Also, you're in this together now. You know what's going on with me, so don't betray me. I'll take care of you. If there's a chance, we can go together, but if you dare to betray me, I'll kill you."
Du Mingxian saw the murderous intent in Wang Pozi's eyes, but... she saw through it at a glance. Wang Pozi was a ruthless person, but she had never killed anyone. She was just saying tough words.
"Okay, take me with you when you start the interrogation."
"We'll see in a bit. I'm just guessing. We're all just lowly servants. If anyone's going to interrogate, they'll interrogate the ladies first. They might not even question us."
Old Mrs. Wang sighed deeply, "I thought these were all good days, but I never expected to end up in jail so soon. When will this end? I just want to live a good life."
Du Mingxian could tell that she was telling the truth: "With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you to live a good life."
"It's difficult, too difficult. I just want to live a better life."
Everyone has thought about it.
"You don't understand." Granny Wang also felt wronged.
Seeing Wang Pozi and Du Mingxian whispering to each other, Granny Li leaned over and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
"I haven't seen that vixen, Granny Dong. Do you think she might know something and have already run away?" Granny Wang was very suspicious.
Granny Li noticed it too. "He must have hidden it. There are still officials searching, so they might find him and bring him here soon."
