Chapter 239 The concubine of the Prime Minister’s Palace VS His Royal Highness the Crown Prince (28)
Tang Wanrou did understand Grandma Chen, but she forgot one thing. As a mother, how could she just let go of her child?
Xiaoting felt that something was not right, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to shut up in the end.
Late at night, the scrawled man came to see Nanny Chen again. After all, Nanny Chen was the confidant of the Crown Princess in the mansion, so the guards who kept watch at night were also willing to accommodate.
Grandma Chen was already in a daze, but although she had resentment towards Tang Wanrou at the moment, she did not hate her.
When she saw the scrawled man, Grandma Chen's hair was messy and her eyes were fixed on the man.
The scrawled man's legs and feet were trembling. He was already in a state of embarrassment, but now he was even more frightened. When he saw Grandma Chen, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you to wait for news at home? The Crown Princess has promised me to send people out to find her son. What are you doing here now!"
Grandma Chen roared in a low voice, which seemed extremely breathtaking in the silence and cool summer night filled with the chirping of cicadas.
The scribbling man took out a small rectangular wooden box with trembling hands.
The moment she saw the wooden box, Grandma Chen's heart froze for an inexplicable moment, as if thousands of fine needles had been inserted into her skin and the pain was excruciating.
She had a bad premonition, but she couldn't believe it, "What...what is this?"
The scrawled man couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.
"This is my son's finger. It has the birthmark on my son's finger. It's unmistakable. But they didn't leave a note or any letter. I didn't catch anyone. What should I do? , one of his son’s fingers was cut off, what do these people who want to kill a thousand swords want!”
Grandma Chen was shaken.
There was a buzzing in my head.
My vision turned black and I almost fainted.
In the end, she pinched her thigh tightly to prevent herself from fainting.
She couldn't fall down yet, and her son was waiting for her to save her life.
Grandma Chen quickly calmed down, squatted on the ground and picked up the small wooden box. She slowly opened it and saw a little finger stained with blood. It had the birthmark she was most familiar with. It was undoubtedly her son's finger.
"Go back and wait. Since they tied up your son and sent back his fingers, and since they didn't ask for money and didn't leave a letter, it proves that there is something else up for grabs. Go back and wait, and report any news to me. Me.”
The scrawled man wanted to cry bitterly, but was slapped silently by Granny Chen.
"Go away, my son is waiting for me to save his life. I don't have time to care about you now. However, if you delay me from saving my son because of your softness, I will definitely send you to Abi Hell!"
The scrawled man was frightened by Grandma Chen's eyes.
He covered his face and got up, not daring to say no anymore, and ran away silently outside the Prince's Mansion.
Grandma Chen held the small wooden box as if she was holding some treasure.
Silent tears fell from her face, which was already covered with wrinkles and ravines, and the years left permanent engraved marks on her face.
These traces are proof that she grew up with Tang Wanrou and gave up her son.
Because of Tang Yu's mother's affairs, the Prime Minister's Mansion did not buy new servants for several years, fearing that outsiders would lose face if they found out that the Prime Minister was not a couple for the rest of his life.
Therefore, her husband and son could not enter the Prince's Mansion and could only live outside. She made a decision at that time and chose to serve Tang Wanrou, and she stayed there for nineteen years.
In the past nineteen years, she had only seen her son a handful of times each year, but she was sincere to Tang Wanrou.
But now.
She regretted it immensely.
If she had been with her son, this would not have happened. His son would not have become addicted to gambling, would not have been kidnapped, and would not have lost his fingers.
She regretted it.
But she couldn't do anything. She still relied on the Crown Princess to help her find her son, but was she still as sincere to Tang Wanrou as she was at the beginning? She didn't even know it herself.
The next day.
Tang Yu woke up, washed up in the morning, rinsed his mouth with a cup inlaid with gold wire, and then vomited into the basin held by the maid. After getting dressed, she was dressed in white and looked graceful. Her long hair was combed into a fairy bun with a set of white hosta hair accessories.
The rest of the maids rushed out, and only Xiao Yuan, Xiao Tao, and Tang Yu were left in the room before Xiao Tao spoke.
"Master, our people gave Chen Sheng's severed finger to that man yesterday."
Xiao Yuan also reported what she found after following Grandma Chen.
"That's right, the man gave his severed finger to Nanny Chen. Nanny Chen looked very broken down, her steps were sluggish, and she seemed to be several dozen years older. She also went to beg the Crown Princess as the master expected. .”
"But now that the flower viewing banquet is coming, Concubine Wan's daily interest is to work hard to confront the Crown Princess. Therefore, the Crown Princess is also distracted and does not want to let go. The two of them are fighting like a cockfight.",
< br>
"So although the Crown Princess sent people, she only sent a few incompetent people to find Nanny Chen's son. The servant felt that Nanny Chen already had a grudge in her heart."
Tang Yu looked out the window. It was July. It had been more than half a month since she entered the Prince's Mansion, and so many things had changed in a blink of an eye.
It's interesting.
"Tonight, Xiao Yuan went to give the snake fire grass to Nanny Chen and asked her to put it on Tang Wanrou's jade pendant. Tell her that if she dares to speak out truthfully, her son's life will be weighed."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Madoka took the order and said yes with a smile.
"This servant is already looking forward to seeing the surprised look in Nanny Chen's eyes. She usually bullies us, but now she has pinched the old poisonous snake's seven inches! Let's see if she dares to be arrogant to the master in the future."
Tang Yu suddenly thought of Ning Chen. How many days had passed and this man seemed to have disappeared since last time. Normally, Tang Yu would not have cared about his life or death.
But she will still step on him to reach a high position in the future.
How can you not care about this boss's thoughts?
"Has His Royal Highness not summoned anyone yet?"
Xiao Tao shook her head, "As for the master, no. Except for going to court every day, I stay in the study to deal with the memorials. Then I either sleep in the study or go back to Zhaoyang Palace, and never set foot in the backyard."
"As for Linxing, I don't know about the other servants. Last time Ning Liangyuan went to deliver soup at noon and stayed for an hour. I don't know if it happened..."
Tang Yu shook his head decisively.
impossible.
Ning Chen couldn't finish it in an hour, how could he possibly finish it.
Unless he has taken the wrong medicine these past few days and is dying.
Tang Yu began to think about when Ning Chen became like this. It seemed that she was acting affectionately that night.
Deliberately acted for Ning Chen.
Could it be that this man was frightened? Or is it that he promised to help her punish the Crown Princess but did not, and then he felt guilty and did not dare to enter the backyard.
Avoiding her.
But when Tang Yu thinks about the flower viewing party, it doesn't matter if he hides. He will come over after the flower viewing party.
Tang Wanrou was preparing for a flower viewing banquet and canceled the greetings for the past few days, which made Tang Yule feel at ease.
At this time, Grandma Chen's face was even worse. She had not drank a sip of water or used a grain of rice since receiving the news yesterday.
She also wanted to ask the Crown Princess if she could help her find her son.
As soon as I walked outside Xingyue Palace, I heard Xiaoting's voice coming from inside.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Grandma Chen's husband came to see Grandma Chen again last night. It must be something serious this time. I don't know if Grandma Chen's son can be found."
Grandma Chen, who was listening outside, was hopeful.
Then Tang Wanrou's impatient voice sent the hopeful Nanny Chen into hell.
"The people I sent to investigate found out that her useless son was arrested because he was addicted to gambling, so he was taken away. It seems to me that he deserved it, and he will be brought back if he can't be found. It all depends on fate, and Granny Chen must know it herself.”
