Chapter 972 - 970: Gone to Waste?
The couple had the same ambition and quietly observed the situation.
No matter what awaited them, they were prepared to face it defensively.
After discussing serious matters and checking the time, it was already quite late.
Wang Yongzhu took out some tea, divided it into two packs, noted that it looked somewhat thin, and then added two boxes of pastries, handing them to Song Chongjin to deliver to Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran.
Even though he was only delivering tea, Song Chongjin specially changed into an outfit for going out before carrying the items and leaving.
As Wang Yongzhu sent Song Chongjin off, Old Granny Wu approached her: "Lady—"
Her demeanor indicated she had something to say.
Wang Yongzhu motioned for Old Granny Wu to follow her inside, and before she could inquire, Old Granny Wu spilled the beans about what Huang Lady and her husband did after coming earlier today.
It turns out Huang Lady and Dong Laosan came early in the morning.
Upon entering the courtyard, they casually inquired about Wang Yongzhu and her family, but remained composed when they heard the family had gone out on business.
The couple spent the whole morning honestly digging holes in the courtyard, and by noon, they merely asked for two bowls of water to accompany the dry food they had brought.
Wang Yongzhu understood the situation, nodded, and dismissed Old Granny Wu.
