Chapter 186 Su Zhenzhen escaped!
Yan Nansheng's eyes flashed, and she continued to analyze: "Aunt, why don't we let Su Zhenzhen escape? She will definitely go find the Third Prince. We need to use Su Zhenzhen to make the Third Prince and the Jiang family suffer the consequences."
Madam Xie and Xie Yanran listened to Yan Nansheng's words and fell into deep thought.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, with only the breeze blowing gently, bringing a faint scent of flowers.
After a moment, Madam Xie said, "Sheng'er wants to alienate the Jiang family and the Third Prince?"
Her words were concise and clear, but they hit the nail on the head for Yan Nansheng's purpose.
As the mainstay of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie's keen insight is admirable.
"Yes, aunt."
"If the Jiang family loses the third prince, they will lose control of the imperial power. If they want to take any action again, they will be traitors. At that time, it will be much easier to dissolve the Jiang family's control over the court."
Yan Nansheng's plan was like a carefully planned chess game, with every step carefully considered.
She understood that the Jiang family had great power in the court, and that direct confrontation would be fraught with difficulties.
By alienating the Jiang family and the third prince, they can disintegrate their alliance from within and gain more opportunities for the Xie family.
Xie Yanran also came back to her senses at this time. She looked at Yan Nansheng with admiration in her eyes.
"My cousin's plan is indeed brilliant. Su Zhenzhen has always been a major concern for us. Now, we can use her to deal with the Jiang family and the third prince. It really kills two birds with one stone."
Old Madam Xie nodded slightly, and she also approved of Yan Nansheng's plan.
"However, we must act with caution. The Jiang family and the Third Prince are not ordinary people. Once they realize our intentions, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yan Nansheng nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I will plan carefully. We can create some illusions first to make Su Zhenzhen think that we have relaxed our vigilance against her.
Then, at the right moment, deliberately let her escape.
She will definitely go find the Third Prince, and we can secretly observe their movements and look for opportunities to alienate them."
The three of them sat together and continued to discuss the specific implementation details.
The sunlight shone on them, as if injecting a ray of hope into their plans.
Near the back door of the marquis's mansion, there was a dark and damp woodshed.
The place was filled with a smell of decay, the walls were covered with moss, the ground was bumpy, and there were messy piles of firewood in the corners.
Su Zhenzhen, who was tied tightly with hemp rope, was now struggling to sit up.
Her clothes were dirty, her hair was messy, and her face was tired and haggard.
Su Zhenzhen had been trapped in this woodshed for an unknown period of time, and her heart was filled with despair and fear.
However, just when she was about to give up hope, she suddenly heard a "creak".
That was the sound of the woodshed door opening, and a faint moonlight came in through the crack in the door, like a ray of hope.
When Su Zhenzhen heard the sound, she twisted her body in excitement, and her mouth, which was blocked by sackcloth, made a "woohoo" sound, as if she was asking for help from the outside world.
"Alright, alright, stop yelling."
A sharp voice rang out, breaking the brief silence.
A mean-looking nanny came in, her face full of impatience.
"If I didn't have to bring food to you, a bitch who has taken over my home, I would be eating right now."
While complaining, the nanny put a bowl of extremely vegetarian food on the ground, which also contained a mixed flour steamed bun.
There was almost no oil or water in the bowl of food, only a few yellowed leaves and some rough vegetable roots.
"Eat quickly, you're so unlucky! I haven't finished my drink yet, and I have to bring you food."
The nanny pulled the rag out of Su Zhenzhen's mouth and untied her.
"Eat quickly, I have to take the bowl away after you finish."
Su Zhenzhen hasn't had even a sip of water since she was locked up in the woodshed.
At this moment, her throat was uncomfortably dry and her lips were cracked.
However, when she saw the meatless food in the bowl, she frowned in disgust.
She used to live a life of luxury, how could she have ever eaten food like this?
But her stomach was acting like an empty city stratagem, as if reminding her that she hadn't eaten for a long time.
"What are you standing there for? What? Are you complaining about the food?"
When the nanny saw Su Zhenzhen's expression, she became even angrier.
"It's good enough to have food, but you still dare to complain about it. You are so used to the good life that you forget who you are. You really think you are a rich man."
The nanny looked down on Su Zhenzhen very much.
In her opinion, Su Zhenzhen was just a bitch who robbed other people's lives and was not worthy of sympathy at all.
She pretends to be kind all day long in the mansion. When she is in a good mood, she calls the maids sisters and brothers. When she is in a bad mood, she says, "You are just a servant who serves others." She is so hypocritical.
"Eat quickly, I have to go back to collect my reward. If I go back too late, there won't be any meat left!"
"Hmph! What bad luck!" The nanny said as she glared at Su Zhenzhen fiercely.
Su Zhenzhen seemed to be frightened and quickly lowered her head to eat.
Her movements were very hurried, as if she was afraid that the nanny would suddenly change her mind and take the food away.
His lowered eyes turned back and forth, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
She knew that she couldn't be trapped here forever and had to find a way to escape. Just then, an idea suddenly came to her.
"Mammy, Mammy, I haven't had a drop of water all day. I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength to even hold the bowl. Why don't you go and claim the reward first and give me some time to eat? I, I promise that I will have finished my meal by the time you come back."
As Su Zhenzhen spoke, she carefully glanced at the nanny's expression.
Seeing the nanny's eyes light up when she heard that she felt powerless, she quickly lowered her head and looked pitiful.
The nanny walked to the door of the woodshed, looked around outside, then returned to Su Zhenzhen, bent down, approached Su Zhenzhen, and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to escape and are caught by the guards in the mansion, you will be dead. The guards in the Marquis's mansion are not for show!"
After saying that, he snorted and hurried out of the woodshed. He was so hurried that he left without even locking the door.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the nanny's departing back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew her chance had come.
She quickly finished the food in the bowl. Although the food was hard to swallow, she knew that she needed the food to restore her strength.
After finishing her meal, she stood up, staggered to the door, unlocked it, and walked out.
The air outside was fresh and cool, making Su Zhenzhen feel comfortable.
