While eating melons and fruits, the two gossiped again.

Xu Yu casually asked about the selling price of Xu Pingyi's carved jade in the market.

Lu Jiuniang chewed the fruit in her mouth unhurriedly, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "Since my cousin came down and everyone knew that he was going to serve in Longzhou, the price of carved jade has doubled, and now I am afraid that it is even higher, how much, I have to ask to tell you." ”

"Sister Jiu, I'll just ask in passing, you don't need to help me inquire, I should go back, if it's too late, I'll be roasted into jerky. Xu Yu pressed Lu Jiuniang's hand, and then stood up.

Lu Jiuniang didn't keep much, and then stood up and sent to the door.

When he came out of the Lu Mansion, he promised to let people enter the Wang family to find the whereabouts of Miss Xin'er immediately, and it was not until the evening that she was found in an extremely remote firewood room of the Wang family.

After getting the news, he immediately rushed over.

The guards of the Privy Council were tripled compared to before, and it took a lot of effort for the Privy Council to enter.

The firewood house is very remote, there are no houses around, and there are no people, but next to it is a yard of garbage, you can smell the stench from a distance, and you can see flies and insects flying around when you get closer.

As the promise approached, the flies buzzed and dispersed, and then gathered together.

The firewood room was unguarded and had no windows.

A large lock hung on a narrow door, and the lock was shiny, and this was probably the place where the Wang family had locked up the subordinates who had made mistakes.

I think it was because the people inside couldn't escape, so there was no one to guard it.

Promise forcibly suppressed the nausea caused by the sour smell, and quickly opened the lock with the wire.

Before the door could be opened, the sound of chains was heard.

She pushed the door a foot away, and the light seeped into the dark firewood room, where she could see a man struggling to get up, and then falling, and the sound of chains followed.

The door opened a little wider, and the evening afterglow rushed into the firewood room, and she clearly saw that the person who had fallen to the ground and blocked her eyes was none other than Miss Xin'er.

At this moment, Miss Xin'er's hair was scattered, her lips were cracked, and there were blood stains on her torn clothes.

Seeing Miss Xin'er's appearance, Xu Yue knew that she was thrown here after being beaten, and she didn't get a drop of water.

Xu Yu shook his head lightly and sighed secretly: The Wang family is really ruthless, on such a hot day, they don't even give a sip of water, and it is clear that they want Miss Xin'er to die.

After Miss Xin'er's eyes adjusted to the light, she saw a slender figure slowly walking towards her, thinking that it was the county lord of Jiaren who came to ask for her life, so she immediately held her hands and stepped back and shouted.

Afraid that the shouting and the sound of the chains would attract the people of the Wang family, he hurriedly said, "It's me!"

Miss Xin'er heard that it was not the voice of the county lord of Jiaren, and quieted down, staring at the figure squatting down in front of her.

Finally, she saw clearly that the person in front of her was a promise.

The moment she saw the promise, she was anxious, angry and embarrassed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xu Liuniang, why are you here? Are you here to see my joke?"

Xu Yu didn't speak, took the water bladder from behind and handed it to her.

Miss Xin'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she didn't care about questioning and promise, she snatched the water bladder, hurriedly pulled out the stopper, and drank it all in two sips.

Xu promised to give her another bag of snacks, and said, "According to what I have heard, someone will come back to see you tomorrow, and this is your chance to go out from here, and you must seize this opportunity, otherwise you will really die in this dark and broken place." Remember, don't tell anyone I'm here when you go out. ”

"I robbed the person you like, and you still do this to me?" Miss Xin'er stuffed two snacks into her mouth, and asked as she ate, completely losing her former high spirits.

Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that in the eyes of Miss Xin'er, the person she liked was Wang Jiulang.

She laughed lightly and said, "If I hate, I should also hate the person who married him, why hate you, I just didn't want the person I once spent a lot of money to photograph end up like this." Out of this door, you should know how to protect yourself, do you need me to teach you more?"

Miss Xin'er stroked the broken hair in her ears, the sound of chains sounded again, she squinted at Xu Promise, and said in a thin voice: "As long as I can get out of this door, I can naturally protect myself, and I don't need you to talk too much." ”

She has been in the Qinglou for many years, although she is cold, but she still has the ability to talk about people and talk nonsense, if she didn't speak to coax those officials to reward a lot of money, she would not have been pushed to such a high position by the bustard.

On the second day, the sound of unlocking was heard outside the firewood room.

Miss Xin'er hurriedly put the paper on the cake into her sleeve, and then gently fell to the ground and closed her eyes.

Hearing in the dark is sharper than usual.

The lock slammed to the ground.

Hurried and flustered footsteps.

Someone fell to her knees.

Low sobs.

Wang Jiulang!

Miss Xin'er is very angry, why is this fat man crying, do you think she is dead?

She gasped helplessly.

When Wang Jiulang heard the movement, he immediately shook Miss Xin'er: "Xin'er, Xin'er, are you still there?"

The corners of Miss Xin'er's mouth twitched helplessly, and then she said in a hoarse tone: "Jiulang, is it you? Did you come to save me?" I thought I was going to ......" with a cry in her voice.

Wang Jiulang was overjoyed, hurriedly helped Xin'er up, and said, "Xin'er, I have been locked up in the ancestral hall for the past few days, I can't get out, and I don't know where you are." This morning, Banniang ran to tell me in a panic that you were here, and you might be dying, so I thought that I would come to see you no matter what, so I asked Banniang to help me drag the guard, and I ran out. ”

Miss Xin'er nodded impatiently, and said weakly: "Jiulang, take me away, I shouldn't have entered the door of the Wang family, I am an unclean person, I only deserve to go to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Wang Jiulang and said, "Bah, how can we Xin'er be unclean people, a good person like you deserves the best life." ”

"I'll take you out first, and then I'll bring you back when my father is angry. Wang Jiulang looked back as he spoke, for fear that his coming to see Xin'er would be discovered.

"Either I will go out and never see you again, or I will stay in your king's house, and even if I die, I will die here. "Miss Xin'er knows very well that in such a situation, if she is taken out by Wang Jiulang, I am afraid that she will not survive tonight.

Now the only way to survive is to stay in the Wang family.

She had made up her mind last night, and at this moment she was slowly luring Wang Jiulang into the trap.

Wang Jiulang immediately shook his head, he was reluctant to Xin'er, and he must never see her again in the future. But if he left her at home at the moment, he couldn't keep her, after all, his father had the final say at home, and his father would definitely not be able to tolerate her if he was so cruel to Xin'er.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a perfect way, so I could only say in an extremely firm tone: "I will never allow you to leave me." ”

"Jiulang, I don't want to leave you, but I also want to live, why don't you go and beg the county lord of Jiaren for me, only she can save me." ”

In the whole of Bianjing, only after the county lord of Jiaren helps her intercede, the scene will be good-looking, and she will have a chance to live.
