Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 887 Quiet
After dinner, Tang Wan and Tang Jing walked back together.

Although they only chatted briefly about everyday things on the way, Tang Wan thought of the time when the War King had asked Wang Fu for help.

Back in her room, Tang Wan quickly washed up and then dismissed everyone, claiming she was tired.

Before leaving, Zhu Xi whispered, "Miss, you must be tired after a long day. Get some rest."

Tang Wan sat for a while longer, making sure there was no more movement in the courtyard, before getting up, bolting the door, walking to the bedside in the inner room, and calling Er Ya over.

With a slight thought, he took Er Ya back to the space.

Once back in the space, Tang Wan let Er Ya move around freely, while she quickly grabbed the bell and contacted the War King.

The War King was somewhat surprised to hear the bell ringing and asked, "Wan'er? Is something the matter?"

You should know that Wan'er rarely contacts him first, let alone so early.

Tang Wan didn't beat around the bush and replied, "Yes, I went to the Wu residence today and discovered something."

The War King paused for a moment, then asked, "The Wu family?"

"Yes," Tang Wan replied quickly.

Then she briefly recounted her encounter with Madam Wu, Madam Wu's visit for help, and her visit to the mansion to investigate.

After saying this, Tang Wan paused for a moment and emphasized, "I found Yin Ninghua at the residence of the wet nurse, Madam Zhou."

Suddenly, there was silence on the other end of the bell.

Then came the War King's even deeper voice: "Are you sure it's Yin Ning Flower?"

"I'm sure," Tang Wan replied confidently.

The War King knew his question was unnecessary. It was Wan'er who had identified the Yin Ning Flower for him. How could Wan'er be wrong? Among the people around him, no one knew this thing better than her. After all, this was no ordinary herb.

With that thought in mind, the War King stopped dwelling on these matters and instead asked, "Where is the wet nurse now?"

"He's locked up in the woodshed of the Wu residence," Tang Wan said. "Madam Wu said she'll interrogate him when Lord Wu returns. I think I should tell you about this, as it might have something to do with Feng Yongnian."

"Yes, this matter is indeed not to be taken lightly," the War King replied, picking up where she left off.

The appearance of Yin Ninghua at the Wu family's residence might mean that Feng Yongnian has already taken action against Vice Minister Wu.

Moreover, who knows if the wet nurse knows anything that might be of some benefit to me.

Tang Wan nodded subconsciously in agreement.

Then, realizing that the other person couldn't see it either, he asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Without a second thought, the War King replied, "I plan to go to the Wu residence immediately and interrogate that wet nurse tonight."

The main concern is that Lord Wu might not find anything out during the interrogation, and the news might leak out, which would be a complete waste of this opportunity.

Tang Wan thought about it and felt that Zhan Wang was right. They should finish the battle quickly to avoid any accidents. So she said, "The Yin Ning flowers are all here with me. Should we take them with us?"

The War King was silent for a moment, then said, "I will send someone to retrieve it tomorrow. Tonight, we will interrogate the people first, and after obtaining their confessions, we will examine the physical evidence."

Since the War King said so, Tang Wan had no objections and simply said, "That's fine too."

After a slight hesitation, Tang Wan asked again, "Do you need my help?"

The War King naturally knew what Tang Wan meant, and he was well aware of her abilities. After a moment of silence in the bell, the War King said gently, "You've had a long day, so get some rest. I'll handle things with the Wu family."

Tang Wan agreed and said, "Then you should go ahead and get busy. I'll hang up now."

"Alright," the War King replied gently. Tang Wan only remembered after hanging up the bell that she had forgotten to ask the War King about Wang Fu.

But such an important clue as Yin Ninghua cannot be delayed because of personal matters. Let's ask her again next time.

Meanwhile, at the War King's mansion, the War King put down the bell and said to the door, "Prepare the horses. Go to the Wu residence."

When the War King arrived at the Wu residence with his personal guards, he was met by Wu, the Second Minister.

Meanwhile, Master Wu had just finished his dinner, and Madam Wu was telling him about what had happened that day.

As Madam Wu was speaking with righteous indignation about the wet nurse who had harmed her own son, a servant came to report that the master had invited them, and specifically requested that the couple go together.

The couple exchanged a glance, neither knowing why their father wanted to see them, but not wanting to keep their elders waiting, they got up, tidied their clothes slightly, and followed the servants to the main courtyard.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard reception hall, they saw the War King seated at the head of the table.

Mr. Wu and his wife bowed to each other, and after they had done so, the King of War asked them to sit down.

Vice Minister Wu glanced at his son and daughter-in-law who had sat down, and went straight to the point: "I already know about Huaijing's matter. Where is that wet nurse, Zhou, now?"

Grandpa Wu quickly replied, "He's still locked in the woodshed, being watched over."

"Okay." Vice Minister Wu nodded, then asked, "Has the news been blocked?"

Mr. Wu looked at his wife. He had just learned about this matter that evening and had not made any arrangements. He wondered what arrangements his wife had made.

Madam Wu quickly spoke up, "When they arrested people, they arranged for trusted confidants to lure them to Huaijin's place to make the arrest. They didn't alert too many people, and after the woodshed was locked up, they also had the news blocked."

Thankfully, the second young lady of the Tang family reminded her at the time; otherwise, if her father-in-law had asked and found out that she had caused such a scandal, she would have had a hard time explaining herself.

Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Wu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the Prince of War and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you will be in charge of this case from now on. The entire Wu family is at your disposal."

Madam Wu sat beside her husband, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard her father-in-law's words.

The War King will take over? Why?
What should she do? That bitch harmed her son. She had so many questions she wanted to ask and so much anger she wanted to vent. Why should she just hand him over like that?

She subconsciously looked at her husband, her eyes seeming to say something: that's our son, we should at least ask him ourselves.
Old Master Wu seemed not to notice her gaze, and simply bowed to the Prince of War, saying, "Whatever Your Highness commands, I will do my utmost to comply."

Madam Wu was stunned.

You just agreed like that?

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

This is my father-in-law's place. The person sitting at the head of the table is a prince. How could she, a woman confined to the inner quarters, have any right to speak?

He suppressed the fire in his heart and lowered his head in silence.

The War King stood up: "Interrogate the person first. We will inform the government of whatever we find out tomorrow."

The Wu family members quickly got up to see them off. As for the wet nurse, when Vice Minister Wu said he would hand her over to the Prince of War, the steward who was waiting had already arranged for someone to quietly bring her over from the backyard.

It was already quite dark by then, which conveniently concealed the traces.

The War King walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Madam Wu, and said, "Madam Wu, rest assured, none of those who harmed your son will escape."

After saying that, he strode out the door.

The hall fell silent.
