Chapter 658: Something Happened(2)_1
Moreover, the servants sent from the mansion to the manor were all called back, claiming that the mansion was too busy and needed them to work.
Dad didn’t mention how people at the mansion treated them now, but in that letter, she still sensitively captured the ill feeling of her father, showing that the family’s days in Duke An’s mansion were not easy.
Old Madame Wang is narrow-minded and ruthless. Cai Wei once threatened her, sending some of her trusted subordinates to work at the manor, and also extorted a large sum of silver from her. She would not let these matters rest, she would definitely find a way to take it out on her family members, plus interest. Therefore, returning to Duke An’s mansion would not be easy for the family.
Thinking of this, Cai Wei clenched her fists. Even if she couldn’t go back now, she had to find someone who could protect her family!
At this time
In Bafu Restaurant in the Capital, a memorable scene was unfolding.
Several fierce yamen runners, wielding water fire sticks and swords, had Mu Zhongqing tied up with a rope, and were dragging him out.
Mu Zhongqing was stunned, crying out, "What do you mean, gentlemen? I, a good citizen, have always abided by the law. Why are you arresting me with a rope?"
A man who looked like the arresting officer shouted, "What is your babble? We were ordered from above to arrest you. We only care about arresting people, not knowing what crimes you have committed."
