Chapter 74 Caught

Zhao Qing Qing, trapped in the Peng Mansion, was unaware that the gunpowder research base had been completely taken away by the Crown Prince.

But being stuck in the Peng household was not a solution either.

Here, nothing was free.

She was also uneasy.

Thinking that the heat had passed, she proposed to the Peng family to leave: “Madam, after causing you trouble for so long, I plan to go back and take a look. These days, thank you for your trouble!”

“Miss Zhao Qing Qing wants to leave?” Mrs. Peng was surprised.

Zhao Qing Qing waved her hand: “Don’t call me Miss Zhao Qing Qing anymore.”

Madam Peng’s eyes lit up, indeed she had been killed.

Looking apologetic: “It was my oversight but Miss Zhao Qing Qing, Mr. Hou may still be keeping an eye on our mansion. If you go out, you might be caught in no time.”

“I’ll disguise myself as a maid, or trouble Madam when she goes out, I’ll hide in the carriage.”

Madam Peng’s expression turned grim.

They hadn’t planned to let Zhao Qing Qing leave without the gunpowder in hand.

“In that case, I’ll inform my husband.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

Zhao Qing Qing looked at Madam Peng’s expression, becoming more determined to leave. She regretted coming to the Peng Mansion in the first place.

After hearing the report from his daughter-in-law, Mr. Peng pondered for a moment and said, “Since she wants to leave, let her go.”

“Send someone skilled to follow Zhao Qing Qing, maybe they can find the gunpowder.”

“Okay.”

Madam Peng received the instructions and turned back to Zhao Qing Qing, “Miss Zhao, tomorrow I will go out to offer incense. At that time, you will disguise yourself as a little maid and follow me out.”

Zhao Qing Qing’s eyes lit up: “Thank you, Madam.”

Madam Peng smiled gently, “Miss Zhao Qing Qing is too polite.”

—–

The next day.

Zhao Qing Qing painted a large mole on her face, added many wrinkles, and completely changed her eyes, mouth, and eyebrows, then put on maid’s clothes.

She looked like a completely different person~

Madam Peng almost didn’t recognize her!

Exclaiming, “Your disguise skills are truly amazing!”

Zhao Qing Qing chuckled inwardly, she had never seen such a thing, what disguise! This was called makeup!

“I’m just joking~”

Madam Peng’s wariness towards Zhao Qing Qing deepened, this Zhao was truly extraordinary.

She knew all sorts of strange things.

And ruthless!

If they could be friends, they should try to be friends, but if they became enemies in the future, they would have to be decisive and kill with one blow.

“You’re truly talented. Even those familiar with Miss Zhao may not recognize her in this appearance. Follow me.”

Zhao Qing Qing disguised as the lowest-ranking maid, following the procession with Madam Peng.

Outside the mansion.

The guards saw someone from the mansion going out, so they sent someone to follow.

After all, they couldn’t open the sedan chair to see who was inside.

Guard Shadow Sixteen followed Madam Peng’s sedan chair to the Imperial Temple, hiding in the distance, watching the sedan chair, and seeing that there was indeed only Madam Peng inside.

“Carefully looked under and around the sedan chair, as well as the maids and servants around, nothing unusual was seen, so he prepared to symbolically stay a little longer and then go back.

Madam Peng entered the Imperial Temple, made a symbolic bow, and instructed the nanny beside her, “It’s rare to come to the temple. Let the little maids outside also go and bow to the buddha, come back in a quarter of an hour.”

“Yes, Madam is truly kind~” the nanny praised.

She then instructed the little maids waiting outside, “Madam has granted you a quarter of an hour to go and bow to the buddha if you wish.”

The little maids happily went, and Zhao Qing Qing mixed in with the little maids, taking the opportunity to leave.

Behind her, a follower followed her.

it hid in the grass and feeling bored and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, he saw a woman walking towards him.

This woman was truly distinctive, with a large mole on her face! Just when he carefully observed the maids accompanying Madam Peng, he saw it. Generally, the maids around the ladies were chosen for their relatively good looks, but this one was a bit ugly, which left a deep impression on him.

He instantly became more vigilant.

Ready to quietly follow.

But he saw a figure faintly appearing behind this maid.

So he hid even deeper.

When the maid passed by, and the figure behind her approached him, he knocked him unconscious with a knife and then followed the maid~

Zhao Qing Qing occasionally looked back to make sure no one was following, finally feeling relieved.

Finally out of the Peng family!

It was like being in prison at the Peng’s.

Zhao Qing Qing had many industries under her name, but there were also many industries under the steward’s name. She dared not return to the Zhao family now, nor could she go to the mansion under her own name.

But she could still go to some hidden mansions to lay low.

Just as she was considering, ready to set off.

Suddenly, she feel like someone hit her in the back of her neck, her vision darkened, and she fainted~

Ying Sixteen looked at the little maid in front of him, not knowing what was strange, decided to carry her back to the boss first~

……

On the Crown Prince’s side, in the Palace, listening to the Ministry of Rites’ people, once again explaining the process of tomorrow’s wedding, and checking for any deficiencies.

Ah Qing came in: “Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince waved to the Ministry of Rites’ people, “Alright, I’m already familiar with it. Go and check other things to see if there’s anything that needs improvement.”

After the officials from the Ministry of Rites left.

Ah Qing reported, “Your Highness, Zhao Qing Qing has been found.”

“She has been locked up.”

The Crown Prince was very happy, it was indeed a series of good news~

But the big wedding is tomorrow, and there is no time to deal with this Zhao Qing Qing for now: “Keep an eye on her.”
