Chapter 678: Escape
Whew!
The slender figure who was running quickly in the woods, because she was really not used to walking the forest path, was panting, and the heavy stagnation in her lower abdomen announced that her hopes had been disappointed again.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, hurry up!" A woman dressed as a maid walked in front and shouted, the rain continued to fall, the two of them did not have an umbrella or a coat to cover the rain, and the maid's forehead hair was wet and sticking to her forehead.
She covered her eyes with her hands to keep the rain out of her eyes.
"I, I can't walk. Reaching out to support the tree trunk, Liu Qingqing panted roughly, her back and legs hurt, she had grown so big, she had never worked so hard.
The maid looked at her for a long time, stopped urging her, and walked back to her own girl.
"How?" Aunt Cang, who was also the concubine of Liu Qingqing, was waiting for the other two maids, just hiding in the shade of the tree, when they escaped from Zhuangzi, they didn't expect to encounter rain, but when a maid next to her left, she tore off a poncho from the wall and took a few pieces of oilcloth from the cabinet, so they didn't get wet.
Only the maid who had just turned back to find Liu Qingqing was drenched.
"How is she?"
"I said I couldn't walk. The maid shook her head and whispered, "The slave smells a trace of blood, it seems that she has come to a small life." ”
Aunt Cang couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, "I thought she was lucky enough to give birth to a second son for the son!
Liu Qingqing was quite favored after entering the mansion, and many people in the mansion stared at her belly, and the county king ordered to postpone the correction of Jiang Mingting, if there is a second woman who gives birth to a son for the son, maybe she is the one who corrects, and Jiang Mingting's advantage no longer exists.
These people stared at Liu Qingqing, just to see when it was time to climb up.
No one expected that without waiting for Liu Qingqing to spread the good news, he first waited for the order of the county king to send them all to Zhuangzi.
The day before, they gloated as the concubines of the county king were tied up and sent to the carriage, and the next day it was their turn.
The Zhuangzi they went to was not the same as the concubine room of the county king, but there were several people in the concubine room of several lords in the mansion who were on the same Zhuangzi with them.
Several women got together to discuss this matter, and everyone couldn't understand why the county king, who had been good before, suddenly took these women in the back house to knife, and they didn't offend the county king, why were they sent to Zhuangzi to fend for themselves.
Some people guess that it was the concubines of the county king who annoyed the county king, and they were angry, but even so, as long as the county king's mansion is still in charge of the county king, the prince and his brothers will not disobey the county king and take them back against his will.
Life in Zhuangzi is not easy, although they have to go to the house to ask for rules in front of the housemother, but more often they stay on their own territory, or read, paint or be a female celebrity, anyway, they love to do what they do, no one cares about them, they eat and drink spicy food every day, and they have new clothes and new jewelry to take every quarter, and they can often beg for something with men.
Because they are the concubines of the prince, the business outside has been a lot smoother, and on the other hand, the aunts and grandmothers who sacrificed for the family are very good, and from time to time they send new tea, jewelry and fabrics.
Because the concubines of the prince did not have children except for Jiang Mingting, and they wanted to make trouble, the concubines of the other young masters, who were sent to Zhuangzi, were all childless, and their days were probably spent in competing for favor, serving the master's mother and striving to have children.
But even when I was at home, I was not very favored, after entering the county king's mansion, everyone had maids waiting, and the ten fingers did not touch the spring water, and they were all pampered.
I was afraid of being sent back to the county king's mansion, and I was detained by the county king on Zhuangzi indefinitely.
Originally, everyone thought that they would only have to survive this period of time, and when the anger of the county king subsided, they would still be able to go back to the county king's mansion to live a good life, but they didn't expect that from the day before yesterday, all the expenses were deleted, and the treatment on Zhuangzi was already a big loss to the county king's mansion, and it was deleted again, so how could these women who were used to pampering and enjoying in the mansion stand it.
Someone ran to the head of the village to trouble, who knew that the person would never return.
Later, I learned that it was the county king's confession, and if anyone protested, he would sell the human hair directly.
So the three people who ran to protest were directly taken away and sold.
In fact, they could notify their mother's family to take people back, but who knew that the always generous county king would let them sell people directly.
Not only Zhuangtou can't figure it out, but these aunts can't figure it out either, but one thing is obvious, that is, the king of the county annoyed them women, and today he cut the amount, and the quality of the next day's meals began to plummet, and then even the lady who originally helped with the laundry was gone.
The maids around the aunts not only have to wait for the master, but also do the laundry, and if the master does not like the food, they have to wash their hands and make soup, so that the master will not starve to death.
When they were sent to Zhuangzi, although they were not given time to pack their luggage, the government sent someone to bring their personal belongings.
Fortunately, otherwise these delicate aunts will not be able to stand it for a long time, but even if their clothes are sent, those clothes made of precious clothes must be careful when washing, and they cannot be too often in the water, and some materials will begin to fade as soon as they enter the water, so you have to be careful when wearing them, and you have to be cautious when storing them.
At the beginning, the laundry lady washed a lot of clothes, and the aunts were furious and wanted to beat people out of anger, but they were told by Mrs. Zhuangtou that there were just a few ladies who helped people wash their clothes, and they wanted to break people, except for giving money for medicine to heal people, and no one washed for them.
They endured it, not thinking that it would be long before the laundry lady would not come. It's useless to ask Mrs. Zhuangtou for someone, the family is busy farming, which is related to the family's food this year!
In fact, this was all instructed by the king of the county, and the husband and wife of Zhuangtou acted on orders.
After that, I don't know who said that the king of the county deliberately wanted to force them to rebel so that he could clean them up together, but why is this?
No one would have imagined that the king of the county was doing it to save money.
So there was a matter of Aunt Cang escaping from Zhuangzi with the maids, and Liu Qingqing also came out.
Aunt Cang is a beautiful girl in the family, she came for the position of the princess, but she didn't expect to lose to the previous princess, so forget it, and a Jiang Mingting appeared later, so her only remaining illusion about the princess was completely extinguished.
She thought that the prince should be sincere to Jiang Mingting, after all, Jiang Mingting was rumored to have an affair with her aunt's cousin, and the prince still did not abandon her.
So she wants to escape, anyway, after returning to her parents' house, with her father and brothers here, she will definitely be able to marry a good family.
It's a pity that they picked a bad day, and when it rained, they got lost in the woods.
"Miss, bear with me, as long as you find the way and follow the road down the mountain, you can find a few young masters. ”
"Miss, will you fill your stomach first?"
Aunt Cang's maids tried their best to coax her to eat, but even if Aunt Cang couldn't eat, she could only force herself to eat some.
Liu Qingqing, who came behind, was not so lucky.
Other aunts have been in the house longer than her, even if they didn't bring the maid into the door, there were also maids in the house who came with them, but she didn't bring her own maid when she entered the house, and after entering the house, although there were maids waiting for the prince, they didn't follow them when they were sent to Zhuangzi.
They are all born in the family, knowing that this master was sent to Zhuangzi, and there may be no day to turn over, who still follows her?
So Liu Qingqing is the only one among the aunts who does not have a maid to wait, but she is also smart, and she has been attached to Aunt Cang early, Aunt Cang is the most confident among all the aunts, and there is not only one maid waiting around, but three!
So when she was on the Zhuangzi, Aunt Cang sent a maid to wait for Liu Qingqing, that is, the maid who went to urge Liu Qingqing, and it was a coincidence that the maid's name also had a green character, named Qingya, Liu Qingqing knew that a maid had a heavy word with herself, which was a little unhappy, but she was just an aunt, and she was not the master of Qingya, but she couldn't control people to repeat the word with herself, and asked someone to change her name, on the contrary, she had to be grateful because Qingya was Aunt Cang who came to serve herself.
Qingya couldn't see Liu Qingqing's displeasure hidden under her smiling face, but what did that have to do with her? Her master was not her, but she was just here to help for a few days, and when she got off the mountain, she went her separate ways, and she was afraid that there would be no chance to meet again in the future, so she was not afraid of offending Liu Qingqing.
Although Aunt Cang asked her to wait for Liu Qingqing, in her heart, she was naturally the most important master.
Therefore, when she saw Liu Qingqing coming, she only nodded at her, and did not abandon her master to wait for her.
Liu Qingqing was cold and hungry, her stomach was dull and painful, and her waist was even more uncomfortable.
Aunt Cang looked at this scene and sneered secretly, this Liu Qingqing is too self-righteous, Qingya is her maid, she is her own maid, she is generous, Qingya puts her own real master first, what qualifications does Liu Qingqing have to be angry?
But forget it, anyway, I went down the mountain and found my brother and them, and they had nothing to do with each other again, and she didn't bother to be angry with someone who would never see her again.
"Sister Liu, what's wrong?
"It's fine. Liu Qingqing looked at Aunt Cang aggrievedly, and then said again as if she wanted to cover it up, "It's okay." The tone was full of my grievances, and I quickly asked what I had been wronged about.
Aunt Cang didn't change her former intelligence, as if she didn't understand what she meant at all, so she turned her head and took the bowl in the maid's hand, and ate it herself.
Liu Qingqing was waiting for her to ask, so he complained to her, saying that Qingya's was not, but he didn't expect to wait and wait, just waiting for someone to love the food in the bowl.
can make her angry, but people don't pay attention to her, and she has nothing to do.
can only secretly muttered in his heart, when he has the opportunity to turn back, he will definitely make Aunt Cang's master and servant look good.
The rain kept falling, and although the weak women did not want to hide in the forest and wait for the rain to stop, they had to reluctantly do it.
After nightfall, the rain became heavier and heavier, and they could only hide under the tarpaulin to avoid the rain, Liu Qingqing was the most embarrassed of all, and the blood on her body became heavier and heavier, even if the rain kept falling, it could not wash away the blood.
Because of the rain, they couldn't raise the fire, so everyone had to huddle against the tree and wait for the sky to clear.
Just waited until dawn, not only did the rain not stop, but there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, Aunt Cang looked at Liu Qingqing and muttered for a long time, "I see, let's go down the mountain in the rain!"
"Miss, wouldn't this be too risky?"
"Yes, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is very dangerous to encounter two up and down, and the road is slippery in the rain. ”
Aunt Cang raised her hand to stop them and continued, "If you don't go, you can't do it, Qingqing's little day is coming, and I have been staying in the forest, for fear that it will attract beasts." ”
I didn't hear anything last night, but it's always good to get down early.
"If it weren't for the people on the Zhuangzi, we wouldn't have ventured through the woods. ”
"There's no way around it. Aunt Cang said. "Go find a long branch, so that you may make a walking stick. ”
The maids quickly went their separate ways, but they did not dare to go too far, and in a short time they took the long branches of the tree that had been stripped of their branches and leaves, and although the length was inconsistent, it was okay to use them as walking sticks.
After everyone picked the branches of the trees that they had to use, they went down the mountain in order.
They were lucky, and they didn't walk long before they met the Cangjia brothers who came up to the mountain to pick them up.
When Liu Qingqing saw the brothers of the Cang family, she couldn't help blushing, Aunt Cang's brothers were very good-looking, Liu Qingqing was ashamed and embarrassed, because the little day came suddenly, she was not prepared at all, and she was very embarrassed because of the rain.
The brothers of the Cang family are all married people, and when they smell the blood, they thought that someone was injured, but when they came to see their sisters, they looked happy and calm, and they were not panicked when they were injured, and looked at them quietly, and saw that they had no scars on their bodies, so they guessed the reason.
After taking the person down the mountain and sending him to the carriage, the eldest brother of the Cangjia family asked when he was sending his sister, and when he learned that it was not his sister, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That girl is also the concubine of the prince?"
"yes!"
"You treated her so well, and you sent Qingya over to wait for her. Brother Cang touched his chin and said.
Holding the maid's hand and getting into the car, Aunt Cang said to her brother, "It's just a good hand, anyway, let someone send her back later, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"You guys will be okay if you escape from Zhuangzi like this?"
"What can it be? When I first entered the palace, I didn't sign the deed, and now I leave voluntarily, I believe that the county king's mansion will not pursue it. "Aunt Cang comforted Brother Cang.
Brother Cang nodded with a smile, and lifted his chin towards the other carriage, "What about her?"
"Then I don't know, I'm not the princess, I'm the concubine of the prince like her, how do I know what is going on with her. ”
Although she knows how she entered the mansion, she really doesn't know whether the prince asked Liu Qingqing to sign the deed, anyway, whether she signed it or not, it is none of her business.
"Well, I see, I'll get another car in town and take her back in a moment. "Their cang's car doesn't have anything to do with it.
"It's still the eldest brother who thinks it through, and the younger sister can't think of it. ”
Brother Cang smiled and urged his sister to enter the car, and the group left slowly, and when they were far away, two women walked out of the forest, followed by several men, "It's really fateful, those wolves didn't tear her." ”
It was Little Peach Blossom who spoke, they originally arranged for the wolves to go to the night attack, but somehow, as soon as the wolves left their sight, they didn't know where to go, and the sight was not good in the rainy night, and they didn't know where the wolves had gone.
I could only watch Liu Qingqing leave safely.
Bang! bang, osmanthus punched the trunk of the tree next to her, and the rain poured on their heads and faces, "Damn!"
"Let people send the news to the county king's mansion, I don't believe that the county king will not be angry when he knows that they have escaped. ”
