Chapter 292 A little test of skills
As soon as Zhu Yu finished speaking, the enormous figure of the talisman rushed out like a gust of wind, startling Chef Li so much that he froze on the spot, staring at Zhu Yu in shock.

Even if he was blind, he knew who lived in Chestnut Garden. It was clearly a distinguished guest from the Prince's mansion, the son-in-law whose status was even more noble than that of the Prince!

Needless to say, this big guy must be a close attendant of that important person, so this "Little Fish" can be summoned by him just by speaking...

Thinking about how he had been ordering people around and doing a lot of work these past few days, Chef Li broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Zhu Yu was too busy to pay attention to him. He summoned Fu Lu and hurriedly told him, "The Pang family members are all down now. I'm not sure how long Yan Daoxin's medicine will last. Before they wake up, quickly tie them up tightly!"

Fu Lu had been waiting for this moment, so he immediately agreed and strode away. Soon, he found a large bundle of rope from somewhere and began to busy himself back and forth.

Zhu Yu sat in the courtyard, found a place with a wide view, and leaned against a wall to avoid a Pang family member suddenly appearing from any direction. He then leisurely watched the talisman pass by him again and again, carrying the Pang family guards, who were completely unaware and tied up like dumplings, one in each hand like little chicks.

It has to be said that although this bloodless method is not very honorable, it still makes people feel very satisfied, and makes her feel that the hard work she did in the past few days has disappeared.

However, her joy and sense of accomplishment hadn't lasted long when suddenly someone emerged from behind the inner screen wall at the main entrance. Before she could even see who it was, she heard his loud voice: "What's going on?! Why isn't anyone guarding the gate? Where have they been slacking off?"

Upon hearing the voices, Zhu Yu knew something was wrong and immediately ran inside to warn Fu Lu, shouting as he ran, "Fu Lu, come quick! There's a fish that slipped through the net!"

The person who came in from outside realized something was wrong as soon as they saw the empty front yard. Seeing Zhu Yu running inside, they immediately gave chase.

He was much taller and had longer legs than Zhu Yu, and the small distance between them was quickly covered.

Upon hearing Zhu Yu shout, the man hurriedly took a few more steps, blocked Zhu Yu's path from behind with his arm, covered her mouth with one hand, and tried to restrain Zhu Yu's hands with the other.

Before Zhu Yu's brain could even process what was happening, his body had already reacted first.

Her head slammed into the face of the person behind her with great force, the back of her head hitting the other person's nose.

The man cried out in pain and instinctively tilted his head back to avoid the blow. Zhu Yu seized the opportunity, quickly raised his leg and kicked hard in the man's groin.

The pain from above and below was truly unbearable. The Pang family guard immediately disregarded everything else, released his grip on Zhu Yu, and bent over like a boiled shrimp.

Zhu Yu was initially hesitant about whether to take this opportunity to strike back at the other party, but she quickly abandoned that thought.

She was no match for her opponent in strength, so the smartest thing to do was to take the opportunity to escape rather than try to be brave and miss this chance to launch a successful sneak attack.

So she ran forward with her head down.

The man was still in pain, but seeing that Zhu Yu had run away, he could only grit his teeth and continue chasing.

This time, however, his luck wasn't as good as before. He had only taken two or three steps, and before his fingertips even had a chance to touch the edge of Zhu Yu's clothes, he was struck squarely in the face by a straight punch from Fu Lu, who was rushing towards him. He fell to the ground without even uttering a sound. "Madam, are you alright?" Fu Lu kicked the man, making him roll several times, and hurriedly asked Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Tie this guy up and lock him up alone. Judging from the tone he used when he came in, he should be the one in charge of this group."

Without saying a word, Fu tied the man up tightly and carried him to another room.

However, with this one escaped, Zhu Yu was still somewhat apprehensive, so he simply followed behind Fu Lu, fearing that there might be other Pang family henchmen who had been overlooked.

Fortunately, this worry did not come true. There was only one person from beginning to end, and Yan Daoxin's secret medicine was indeed very powerful. Even after the talismans bound and locked them up, not one of them woke up.

The one who was knocked down by the talisman was also pried open and given a sleeping pill; he probably won't wake up for a while.

"Madam, what do we do now?" Fu Lu asked.

Zhu Yu thought for a moment: "We don't know if the Pang family has any other plans outside, or how many Pang family insiders and supporters there are in the capital."

The only people we can count on in the Prince's mansion are you, me, and Yan Shu; that's far from enough.

Doing anything blindly now is risky.

Here's what we'll do: Go back and secretly go to the prison to find Wen Qiming, the Left Chief Secretary. After dark, bring him to the Prince's residence. Don't let anyone outside see you; be as discreet as possible."

Fu patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, I guarantee there won't be any problems!"

It was still early, and it wasn't the right time to take Wen Qiming away. Zhu Yu asked Fu Lu to keep an eye on the Pang family's guards, or thugs, while he went to the main courtyard to check on Miao Shi and the others.

There were no Pang family members guarding outside the main courtyard at this moment, and Zhu Yu arrived at the gate without any hindrance. She could vaguely hear Pang Yuzhen and Zhu Ning talking inside. She listened carefully, but still couldn't hear Miao's voice.

However, the two side rooms next to it were quiet, and one of them had its door ajar, so it didn't seem like anyone was there. Zhu Yu stopped thinking about it and went straight in.

Her sudden opening of the door startled everyone in the room. Pang Yuzhen and Zhu Ning looked nervously toward the doorway, where Miao was kneeling beside the table where they were sitting.

From the sound of the mother and daughter talking outside the door, Zhu Yu deduced that they were not making things difficult for Miao Shi, but rather that they had been making things difficult for her all along, forcing her to kneel as punishment no matter what they did.

All three of them turned their gaze toward the doorway and saw Zhu Yu standing there, momentarily stunned.

Zhu Yu was already furious when she saw Miao kneeling weakly to the side, and was about to speak to her when she saw their surprised looks. She then realized that she was wearing a fake face mask and they hadn't recognized her.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhu Ning recognized the clothes of a servant from the Prince's mansion that Zhu Yu was wearing. She then snapped out of her daze and glanced at her impatiently: "Why did you come empty-handed? Where is my and my mother's breakfast?"
