The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 748: Hiding

Everyone came out, sticking to the shadows by the street, avoiding the Jin Army patrolling the streets, and after several twists and turns, they reached the back door of the silk shop. Big Girl climbed over the wall to open the door, and everyone filed in.

Not long after, Lady Wu and the others also arrived. After waiting for a while, Mrs. Chen came over with the two children.

With everyone present, Yun Jiao let out a long sigh of relief.

The door of the silk shop was left wide open, but the door leading to the backyard was shut.

Everyone quickly tidied up a bit, then laid out bedding to sleep.

At night, several guards took turns keeping watch.

The next day, Ah Yun went out to gather information and returned, "Fortunately, we left in time. The house over there was indeed searched by the Jin Army; everything inside was turned upside down."

Mrs. Chen silently recited a prayer.

Everyone hid in the silk shop for more than half a month.

Only a few guards and Big Girl went out in turns to gather information. Sometimes Yun Jiao sent Granny Tian to the street to see if anywhere had some vegetables to get.

Granny Tian went out a few times but always returned empty-handed, "There are no vegetables for sale on the street."

Fortunately, there were some pickled vegetables brought over from the Gu Family’s side, and by saving them a bit, everyone could still taste some saltiness every day.

Yun Jiao would occasionally take out some beef jerky from her bag and share it with the guards and Big Girl. They were the most hardworking every day, gathering information and keeping watch, so they needed to eat some meat. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Sometimes, she would also give some to the wet nurse since Ruru still needed to nurse, and the wet nurse needed nutrition as well.

The rest of us didn’t eat any.

Even the usually greedy Liu Lang became sensible, turning his head away when Yun Jiao gave the guards beef jerky.

Yun Jiao was also ruthless, not giving Liu Lang, Xiao Chuan, and San Ya any meat, mainly because they didn’t know how long these days would last, and she needed to save some life-saving food.

That evening, Big Girl came back with news, "I heard today that all officials of the third rank or higher in the Capital City, along with their families, were taken by the Jin Army to Huining, with the members of the Imperial Family."

Lady Wu frowned, "What about the Retired Emperor and the Emperor?"

Big Girl replied, "They left even earlier than them."

Lady Wu angrily said, "Two fools, they deserve it!" But immediately, she felt desolate. At this point, what was the use of scolding them?

She thought for a moment, "Does this mean the Jin Army is about to withdraw?"

Big Girl shook her head, "From what I overheard, some of the Jin Army will stay to guard the Capital City, and the rest will withdraw."

"By the way, they also plan to rename Capital City to Dingzhou."

Lady Wu couldn’t help but say, "To hell with them! What nonsense! Capital City is ours, how can they change the name as they please!"

Ruru in her arms was startled, looking up at Lady Wu in confusion, babbling something. Lady Wu patted her, "It’s nothing, you play, I’m not scolding you."

Big Girl continued, "Now the Jin Army has taken the Fish Scale Book and is searching everywhere in the city for craftsmen, intending to take them all to Jin Country."

"I heard they also plan to relocate some of the people because Jin Country has a small population and many fertile fields are left untilled."

Yun Jiao said, "When the main army leaves, the guards in the city should relax a bit. Then we’ll find a way out of the city. Luckily, Youzhi is in Xiang City, so we’ll go to Xiang City."

Lady Wu nodded, "Your father still hasn’t sent any news. Alas, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said anything about wanting to kill the Retired Emperor. Zhong Xing went because he was worried I might act rashly."

Yun Jiao said, "Father should be safe, mother need not worry."
