After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 429 Turning enemies into enemies

Seeing the jailer walk away, Xiong Da returned to Xia Wanniang and said, "Madam, it seems that your guess is correct. These people have no intention of letting us go."

Xia Wanniang didn't care. After all, she already knew it before she came. Now it just depended on when they would take action to send them away.

But before that, she prepared some things and smeared them on their clothes.

Xiong Da looked at what she had applied on her body, smelled nothing, and could not see any changes: "What is this?"

"It's a tracking bait for small insects. I'm afraid they will separate us, so it's better to make some preparations during the safe period." After saying this, Xia Wanniang also applied some on herself.

Xiong Da looked at the empty cell and said, "Madam, how long do you think it will take for them to get us out?"

"It won't take too long. Maybe we have already thought of an excuse this time." Xia Wanniang said with a smile.

Xiong Da looked curious: "What's the excuse?"

Xia Wanniang: "They turned against each other and fought to death in the government office."

Xiong Da's eyes widened: "No way!"

Xia Wanniang leaned against the wall and closed her eyes: "Whether it can be done or not, we will know when the time comes. Now take the time to rest. You won't have time to rest when we get there."

Seeing that she fell asleep like that, Xiong Da didn't want to ask any more questions, so he found a place and fell asleep.

When the two woke up, they found themselves in a closed space, with ropes tied around their bodies, their mouths blocked, and a bumpy feeling underneath them.

Xia Wanniang woke up when they threw the drug in last night, and Xiong Da woke up as well. The two of them quickly took the antidote and pretended that they were knocked out by the drug.

Then they felt someone coming in from the cell door, tying them up and stuffing strips of cloth in their mouths.

A man's voice came from the side: "Master Gu, the mine is short of manpower now. You have to think of a new way. I'm afraid the previous method will not work."

Gu Fucheng said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "There are no people causing trouble in the city right now, so increasing the entrance fee will probably be useless."

The man's voice snorted coldly: "This is your business. If His Highness blames you, you won't be able to bear the consequences." After that, he had the two men carried out of the cell.

Xia Wanniang and the others listened with their eyes closed, so they couldn't see Gu Fucheng's expression, but it was difficult to tell whether the "His Highness" they were referring to was Pu Xingyu or one of the people in the court.

The two were thrown into a box and covered with something like straw.

The man driving the carriage said: "Sir, can Gu Fucheng do what you say?"

The man snorted coldly: "If he doesn't want to die, then do it here. Now the Third Prince is waiting for these mines to be of great use."

Xia Wanniang opened her eyes and looked at Xiong Da who also opened his eyes and looked at him. Neither of them moved but just listened to the sounds outside.

The man driving the cart said: "Sir, there are fewer people mining now, and the efficiency is much lower."

The man looked depressed: "That's right. I was also scolded by the Third Prince for a long time. If no one sends me there, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

"It's not that serious!" The man driving the coach looked scared.

The man sneered at the driver and said, "Now I hope that Mr. Gu is sensible and can find a way to solve this problem quickly, otherwise..."

The man driving the car looked disgusted: "How can he solve it?"

The man smiled sinisterly: "The Northwest is vast and sparsely populated. If there are fewer people, no one will notice."

The man driving the car's eyes lit up: "You want him to attack the people around him."

"They are just lowly people in the underground. It is an honor for them to make some contributions to the Third Prince." The man said with disdain.

The coachman immediately flattered him: "Your Excellency is right."

When Xia Wanniang heard that the people outside had stopped talking, she began to calculate what road they were taking and how long it would take.

However, the conversation between the two just now made her know a lot of information. This Lord Gu was not Pu Xingyu's man, but Wu Xiao's third son's man.

We don’t know what the minerals we know about now are, and we can only find out when we get there.

In addition, they were preparing to attack the people in the northwest, and this news had to be passed back to Xiao Chiye somehow.
