Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!

1046: Chapter 1046 Arrangements 1046: Chapter 1046 Arrangements Zhulan waited until her eldest had left, her heart steadfast yet she still stood and paced back and forth.

The Crown Prince had been searching for secret passages everywhere these past few days, and the sudden sealing of the city gates indicated that a passage had been found and was now under control.

There must be quite a few hidden forces lurking in the capital, and now it was time to “close the doors and beat the dogs.”

The potential of people faced with death is immense, and those shadowy figures are among the most desperate—caught meant death, so why not fight back?

Hence, the district of the Zhou family was the prime candidate to bear the brunt.

Zhulan’s heart thumped wildly; the rise of the Zhou family had been aided by her and Zhou Shuren flapping their wings too vigorously, stirring up a great deal of enmity.

Turning to Granny Song, she said, “Go inform each of the courtyards, have Lady Li and the others bring their children to the main courtyard to stay.

All the maidservants not needed should go back to their quarters and lock up all the doors.”

Granny Song glanced at the few maids at the doorway before hurrying out.

In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, everyone from the various quarters arrived quickly at the main courtyard.

Lady Li’s forehead was beaded with sweat, showing how hastily she had come.

Zhulan gestured for Lady Li to sit down, fearing any sudden disturbance would frighten her into premature labor.

Her gaze dropped to Lady Li’s belly, thankful that her constitution was strong.

Lady Zhao was as brave as she was scared—she cherished her life so dearly that her hands clutched her handkerchief tightly.

“Mother, what has happened?” she asked anxiously.

Zhulan, looking at her eldest grandson, said to the standing grandchildren, “All of you, don’t just stand there—sit down.”

Only after the children were seated did she explain about the capital being sealed and the message sent from the Ning Duke Residence.
