Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 147: When the Rabbit Dies, the Dog Is Cooked

The Third Young Master was kind-hearted and considerate of some servants who suddenly left the mansion and had nowhere to stay, so he suggested there was a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city where they could temporarily reside.

The list of those who signed up to go included Da Chun, Lu He, and three or four elderly women, all long-time employees of the Zhao Mansion.

The younger ones knew that the Zhao Mansion had offended the Court. If it fell, there was no need to stay, so they all went home or sought refuge with relatives and friends.

At once, it was a case of "a rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked."

The Third Young Master and Mrs. Zhao also went together to the suburban courtyard, saying they would wait a few days. If they couldn’t wait for the master, they would return to the nursemaid’s village, said to be called Taoli Village, located at the junction of Bianliang and Feng County, where there were many peach blossoms, especially beautiful in spring.

On the fourth day at the courtyard, they finally awaited the master. It was the Second Young Master who brought him back, and when they returned, he was covered in blood, seemingly severely injured.

The servants staying at the suburban courtyard busied themselves, heating water, preparing gauze, fetching the medicine kit, bustling about in a mess.

Being a tall man, Da Chun ran fast and was capable of riding a horse, so he took on the task of finding a doctor.

In the evening, when the master awoke, a big man cried grievously, choking out the recount of the incident, with only Lu He and Da Chun present, as Mrs. Zhao did not ask them to leave.

When the master and the Eldest Young Master went to Hangzhou, they encountered a group of black-clad attackers, narrowly escaping wave after wave. The Eldest Young Master, in fact, knew martial arts and was very skilled. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

However, they were caught off guard and fell into a trap, becoming prisoners, yet they didn’t know who the black-clad attackers were.

Later, Old Master Zhao witnessed with his own eyes as his eldest son had his legs broken, was forced to drink mute medicine, and even had his face slashed with a blade.

Recalling up to this point, tears streamed down his face again, "My poor child."

Everyone’s final concern arose, where is Zhao Jun now?

Old Master Zhao slowly uttered two words: "Yandang Mountain, dead."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao, the Second Young Master Zhao Jingtian, and the Third Young Master Zhao Qi burst into tears as well.

Lu He also had red-rimmed eyes, wasn’t that man planning to propose to Sun Xiaoxiao in a few months? Hadn’t he been waiting for that day, willing to die, unafraid of Miss Sun of the Sun Family marrying another man? He was just at the cusp of manhood, after all, he hadn’t yet married and had children.

Lu He was not stupid, she was smart and had always lived in the Zhao Mansion, seemingly without a goal, yet seemingly waiting for something.

At this moment, she knew clearly what she wanted to do: find the body of Zhao Jun.

Back when she was at her most difficult time, she was taken in by the Zhao Mansion, and although life was tough, she survived.

Finding the body and burying it would also be repaying his kindness.

She even harbored hope that he wasn’t dead.

According to Old Master Zhao’s final description, Zhao Jun was severely injured and died under the jaws of a tiger, but later he was taken away by black-clad people. They did not see the tiger eat him, nor did the mysterious black-clad people.

In this way, there was still a glimmer of hope, what if that tiger doesn’t eat meat?

After all, she was naive!

Even if the tiger doesn’t eat meat, how long could a severely wounded mute man with crippled legs survive when tossed into the wilderness?

Lu He confirmed her goal.

She started to take action, having little luggage; she packed simply and went to bid farewell to the Zhao family couple.

She didn’t say she was going to find Zhao Jun, afraid of giving them hope and then letting them down!

She made an excuse, saying she found her eldest uncle, but she was always worried about the Eldest Young Master. If she confirmed his whereabouts, she would leave with her eldest uncle.

The Zhao family, immersed in sorrow, paid no attention and allowed her to leave.
