Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716
Aunt Liang was a little confused.
"Madam, it seems like there’s someone fighting outside." Aunt Liang had just heard the commotion and ran out; she didn’t know what was happening outside either.
Su Yunjin heard the fighting sounds outside become increasingly intense, and a sudden shock hit her heart; could those black-clad assassins from yesterday have returned? Realizing this possibility, Su Yunjin feared the assassins might come in and harm the two children, so she hurriedly turned back and instructed Aunt Liang, "Aunt, there is a possibility that yesterday’s assassins who tried to kill me have come. Quickly go to the rooms of the two young masters and let the nurses protect them well."
Aunt Liang is just an ordinary rural woman. Upon hearing Su Yunjin mention assassins, her face instantly turned pale with fear, and even her tone changed. "Assassins? Madam, what should we do then?" It’s over, if those assassins break in, won’t their lives be over?
Although Aunt Liang hadn’t seen assassins before, in her mind, assassins were ruthless demons who killed indiscriminately, each one taking lives.
Aunt Liang was terrified, her legs felt weak. Compared to Aunt Liang, Su Yunjin’s face was very composed, "Alright, Aunt, don’t be afraid, rest assured! There won’t be any trouble, Xue and Hong brothers are outside too! Xue and Hong brothers aren’t weak in martial arts, those assassins trying to get in won’t be that easy."
"Madam, can Xue Chu and Hong Wu really hold off those vile assassins?" Although Su Yunjin said so, Aunt Liang was still somewhat worried.
Aunt Liang feared that if Xue Chu and Hong Wu couldn’t hold off the assassins, wouldn’t everyone inside lose their lives?
Aunt Liang had sons and daughters at home, her son was married, but her daughter had not yet been betrothed. Aunt Liang loved her daughter dearly, and she came to work at Su Yunjin’s house to earn more silver to save for her daughter’s dowry. Aunt Bao was doing all this hard work for her family’s sons and daughters, and she didn’t want to accidentally lose her life here.
Su Yunjin noticed the fear and worry in Aunt Liang’s eyes. When she first saw that group of assassins yesterday, Su Yunjin was also a bit scared. It was normal for a farmer like Aunt Liang, who had never experienced such incidents, to be frightened upon suddenly hearing about assassins. Thus, Su Yunjin continued, "Aunt, listen to me, go hide in the nanny’s room now, and you and the nanny just need to watch over the two children inside and don’t come out for anything happening outside. Trust me, I can assure you that you absolutely will be safe."
Aunt Liang looked at Su Yunjin with fear, nodded numbly, and then trembled as she walked towards the nanny’s room. The fighting sounds outside were loud, and Aunt Bao and the nanny were also startled. Su Yunjin saw Aunt Liang trembling all over as she pulled the confused-faced nanny into the room.
Aunt Bao quickly ran over to Su Yunjin, after all, she was from Prince Rui Residence. Even hearing the fighting outside, she remained calm, showing no signs of panic.
"Madam, is it those people who attacked you yesterday outside again?" Aunt Bao inquired about the fight outside as soon as she came over to Su Yunjin. Follow current novels on 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
Su Yunjin didn’t know exactly what was happening outside yet; she hadn’t gone out to look. But, based on her speculation, Su Yunjin thought it was likely the group who came to assassinate her yesterday fighting outside.
