The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 524: Wang Siruo escapes, and the old lady of Anyang Marquis takes charge of Anyang Marquis M

Marquis Anyang strode forward, picked up the key, inserted the key into the keyhole with a trembling hand, and opened the gate. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he did not have time to care about the old lady and her three grandchildren, and strode to Wang Siruo's room.

When the two young masters helped the old lady catch up, they saw Marquis Anyang with his fists clenched, his face ashen, staring at the piles of bones on the ground in a daze.

"What a sin! What a sin!"

The old lady pounded the ground hard with her cane, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

"grandmother!"

Three shouts rang out at the same time. When Anyang Hou came to his senses, he saw his mother collapsed to the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward and pinched his mother's philtrum, calling her non-stop.

The two sons of Marquis Anyang hugged their grandmother together, staring at the piles of bones out of the corner of their eyes, trembling all over, with fear on their faces, and their minds went blank!

"Mom! You're awake!"

Seeing the old lady's eyes move and slowly open, Anyang Hou's heart finally settled down. He instructed his two pale-faced sons, "Send your grandmother back to her room, and then ask the court doctor to take a closer look! Don't worry about what's going on here, I'll take care of it!"

The two bewildered young masters nodded repeatedly when they heard their father's instructions, and carefully helped the old lady to stand up. However, the old lady stood there and refused to leave.

"I'm fine, no need to see a doctor!"

The old lady had calmed down and waved to her son and two grandsons.

"Look at these bones on the ground. Do you now believe what your grandmother and your father said?"

The old lady turned to face her two grandchildren and asked with a serious face. She seemed to have aged a lot in a moment.

"Grandmother, how could my sister become such an evil person? How could she kill so many powerful guards when she doesn't even know martial arts?"

"Yes, grandmother, my sister has been staying in the mansion for a long time and has not seen outsiders. How come she suddenly has such evil skills?"

The two young masters seemed unable to accept that their sister had suddenly turned into a murderer with such horrific methods.

"Do you still remember that evil creature didn't come back the night Cao Fangqing died? I guess something happened to her outside that night, and then she learned this evil skill to harm people! It's all my fault. I was too soft-hearted!"

The old lady's face was full of regret. When she knew that Wang Siruo had killed Caiyun, she should have been more ruthless and got rid of her granddaughter. But now, so many innocent people have lost their lives in vain.

"Mother, what does this have to do with you? After you found out about this, you imprisoned my unfilial daughter and even asked a monk to find a way to save her and make her come back. If it were another family, they would definitely not be able to do what you did. You don't have to blame yourself!"

Seeing the old lady looking at the bones of the guards on the ground with a face full of guilt, Marquis Anyang held her arm and comforted her.

The old lady sighed and shook her head. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Anyang Hou and said, "I don't know where that evil creature has escaped to. How many people will be killed? You should go to the gate of the palace and ask to see the regent. Ask him to arrest that evil creature as soon as possible, or execute him on the spot!"

"Mother, today is New Year's Eve. Why don't I report to the Regent after the New Year?"

Marquis Anyang looked at the old lady and asked carefully. He was afraid that he would disturb the Regent's mood on this festive day and bring more trouble to the mansion. So he wanted to let the Regent let their mansion have a peaceful year first, and then deal with Wang Siruo's matter after the new year.

"Grandmother, can you ask the Regent to spare my little sister's life?"

"Yes, she is our sister after all. When the monk comes back, we can ask him to persuade our sister to be kind. We can imprison her in the mansion for life. As long as she is alive, that will be enough."

The two young masters really couldn't accept that their mother had just passed away and their sister would be killed soon. Their selfishness still overcame the justice in their hearts, and they looked at the old lady with a nervous look and said.

"You! You are so confused! She is a cancer in Anyang Marquis' Mansion! If we don't ruthlessly remove her, the entire Anyang Marquis' Mansion will rot. Our Anyang Marquis' Mansion has been passed down from generation to generation, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and dedicated to doing good, but it has been stained with an indelible stain by this mother and daughter. Do you want to make our ancestors in heaven unable to raise their heads? Do you want our entire Anyang Marquis' Mansion to be destroyed in her hands before you are satisfied!"

The old lady's chest was heaving violently, and the veins on her hand holding the cane were bulging. She was almost fainted by her son and grandson. She used to think that the three of them were upright and kind-hearted. The only bad thing was that they were too soft-hearted. She didn't expect that now that the evil creature had killed so many people and caused such a huge disaster, they still wanted to save her life! Throwing the big issues aside!

After hearing what the old lady said, the three of them lowered their heads in shame and dared not speak anymore.

The yard became quiet.

After a long while, the old lady extended her hand to Anyang Marquis: "Give me the Marquis's mansion token. I will be in charge of Anyang Marquis's mansion until that evildoer is caught and brought to justice! From today on, you three, father and son, will enter the ancestral hall. Think carefully in front of the ancestors about how to choose between family affection and right and wrong."

Marquis Anyang raised his head and looked at the disappointment in the old lady's eyes. His lips moved a few times, but he didn't say a word. He reached out and took out the token from his arms, knelt on the ground with a plop, and raised the token above his head.

The two young masters had never seen such a majestic grandmother. In their impression, their grandmother had always been kind and gentle. Although they were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts, if this matter happened in other houses, there would definitely be many people who would choose to protect their relatives. But when they saw that their father handed over the token without saying anything, they did not dare to plead for their sister anymore and knelt down.

"My grandson obeys!"

The old lady took the token. She knew her son and two grandsons very well. As for her son, she would ask the regent to deal with his daughter on his behalf and not let him do it himself. He was already grateful and guilty to her as a mother. Even if that evil creature sneaked back into the house, he would never cover up for her. But the two grandsons would definitely help when they saw their sister.

After thinking about it, she warned her two grandsons, "I will send people to guard outside the ancestral hall. If that evil creature really sneaks back to the mansion, you two had better not make any moves. Otherwise, I would rather let the Anyang Marquis' mansion be extinct than let that evil creature leave!"

When the two young masters saw how determined their grandmother was to deal with their sister, they were trembling in their hearts, bowed their heads to the ground, and said they dared not.

"Get up, call Shu'er, the old housekeeper, and Nanny Wang to come here to see me, and the three of you pack your things and go to the ancestral hall!"

Seeing that her two grandsons were frightened, the old lady waved her hand at the three people kneeling on the ground and said.
