Chapter 939: Chapter 939 A Good Place to Bond_1 Chapter 939: Chapter 939 A Good Place to Bond_1 Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu left Jiwei Residence, and once again, they encountered Shopkeeper Zhou.
Despite the heavy snowfall and few pedestrians on the streets, ever since the grandfather and grandson pair entered the town, they had been under the surveillance of Zuixian Building.
Shopkeeper Zhou had put in great effort to ensure he wouldn’t lose his position as shopkeeper.
Moreover, with Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao’s arrival in Anping Village, his surveillance became even tighter than usual.
When faced with Shopkeeper Zhou, Tong Sanlang brushed him off casually, “Nothing much. We just bought some spices. With the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince around, we need to replenish some supplies at home. The road is treacherous, so we grandfather and grandson will head back first.”
Having said that, he whipped his horse and left.
With those ten million taels of silver weighing on their minds, they can no longer share anything with Zuixian Building in the future.
Of course, next year’s crops were an exception. If Zuixian Building wanted them, he was willing to sell.
Yet, would there still be a Zuixian Building next year?
With such thoughts, he whipped his horse more vigorously, completely ignoring Shopkeeper Zhou’s shouts from behind.
Shopkeeper Zhou ran to chase after the carriage, but due to the snow acumulation on the road and its slippery surface, he didn’t pay attention and fell to the ground.
Now, he couldn’t chase the carriage anymore.
Tong Sanlang heard the commotion behind him but showed no reaction; he continued whipping his horse until they left the town.
Travel was treacherous, and by the time they slowly made it back to the manor, night had already fallen.
Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao had already finished dinner and were still playing Mahjong.
After playing all day, neither of them seemed tired of it.
Qiao Xiaomai had tired of it long ago, but to accompany these two high-spirited nobles, she forced herself to stay alert all day.
It wasn’t until late at night that Yang Wenxiao was willing to let Qiao Xiaomai leave. Despite being nearly ninety years old, he had played the whole day just like a young person.
Back at Mai Yuan, Qiao Xiaomai collapsed weakly onto the warm kang bed, “Come, come, give me a shoulder and back massage.”
Sitting all day felt as exhausting as a whole day’s labor in the fields.
Tong Sanlang sat beside her, laid his hands on her shoulders, and massaged her while talking about the afternoon’s events. Qiao Xiaomai yawned while listening, saying at the end, “Speaking of Grandfather Liu’s confidant betraying him, has this news come out yet?”
“It shouldn’t have; otherwise, there would likely be turmoil in the Imperial Court, right?” As he recalled Yang Wenxiao’s decisive actions, Tong Sanlang could not help but remark, “I thought dealing with Yang Wang would be extremely difficult, but the Empress Dowager handled him quickly with just a few words.”
The speed was beyond his imagination.
Yang Wang was given no chance to defend himself. The Empress Dowager’s actions were swift and decisive, without any hesitation.
“They’re the ones who seized such a great Mount Jiang. Dealing with a minor prince is just a matter of speaking for them,” Qiao Xiaomai clicked her tongue, regretfully saying, “I didn’t get to see the sight of Cen Hong and Sun Junyan being taken away. What a pity.”
She had been hoping for their misfortune for a long time.
Now that it had finally happened, she missed witnessing it.
She was somewhat displeased at missing out on such an enjoyable event.
“By the way, I asked about Sun Junyan and Cen Hong at the Mahjong table today. The Empress Dowager told me,” she recounted.
“Yang Wang has been confined to his Prince Duan Residence, never to leave in this life. Cen Hong and Sun Junyan have been taken to prison, to be executed after the new year.”
It must be said that the Mahjong table is a good place to bond—Yang Wenxiao did not elaborate when dealing with Yang Wang, and she and Tong Sanlang did not know the specific details of the explosives issue.
This afternoon, Yang Wenxiao told her the entire process.
