One day, Murong Yuxin took advantage of the gap when Teng Bo was entangled in Zhaofu and explained wholeheartedly, and sneaked outside. When he was stretching his muscles, he saw Jixiang outside the courtyard gate and couldn't stop waving to him.

Murong Yuxin hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" “

Na Jixiang took a breath and said anxiously, "Oh no, Second Miss, Ruyi is gone." ”

"Say, how did he not see?" Murong Yuxin asked Jixiang to tell him the ins and outs in detail.

Chapter 5: Finding Fugitive Slaves

But it turned out that this Ruyi was different from the three of them Wishing you prosperity and auspiciousness, and when he was sold into the mansion, he was already eleven or two years old, and he was already old, so he was not suitable, and it was only because of his good appearance that the family in charge of the matter accepted him exceptionally. It's just that although his appearance is good, his personality is very awkward and mean, which is very unfavorable, so his popularity is very bad, and he hasn't made any friends for several years.

Early this morning, he said that he was helping to go to the house to run errands, but he went for a long time, but he didn't come back. Congratulations to the place where the errand went, only then did I know that Ruyi had never been there at all. Therefore, it is estimated that he fled.

Murong Yuxin felt strange when she heard this, and said, "I asked myself if I treated him well, isn't it strange that he ran away for no reason?" He is not unaware of the way the palace treats fugitive slaves. If it weren't for the importance of it, would he have taken such a big risk? ”

"I heard others say that before Ruyi sold himself to the palace, he had promised to marry someone. The reason for selling his body seems to be that his wife is seriously ill and has no choice but to make this decision......" Ji Xiang seemed to hesitate for a moment and continued, "According to common sense, if he sells himself to save his wife, he should have settled with his wife's family and will not have anything to do with it anymore." ”

Murong Yuxin said strangely, "Wasn't he still very young at that time?" Why do you ...... at such a young age?"

Jixiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe his family is more difficult, so he sent him to his wife's house to be a little husband at a young age." The young husband is raised with his wife in his wife's house, and then marries after he becomes an adult. Such people are also common. ”

When Murong Yuxin heard this, she secretly calculated in her heart, but after listening to Na Jixiang's words, she said softly, "If Ruyi really runs away from the house because he is worried about his wife, please let the second lady be lenient with him." ”

"Don't worry, he is my person, and he can be lenient, so I naturally won't make a storm in the city. If you really want to help, you can hide it from the rest of the palace for me first, so that they don't know about it. Murong Yuxin said with a smile, "I'm going to go out immediately, you call all the Wishing you prosperity to my courtyard to wait for my news, don't run around and scream, reach my mother's ears, that's not good." ”

Ji Xiang took the order and went. Murong Yuxin found an excuse to find out the relevant information of Ruyi from Zhan Shi, who was in charge of the personnel information of the palace, and returned to his courtyard with a bamboo in his chest, and gave such and such orders to the attendants who were waiting there, and then sneaked out of the Huainan Royal Mansion in the deep-walled compound.

That Ruyi's original name was Zhou Yun, and his home address was in Xiaoxi Village outside the city. Murong Yuxin left the palace, called a carriage, and walked towards the road leading to Xiaoxi Village.

The carriage bumped all the way, and it took about half an hour, but it finally arrived at the small creek village. Murong Yuxin asked the coachman to wait at the entrance of the village, and entered the village to inquire by himself.

All the way to the house of Ruyi's wife, but it was a simple and dilapidated cabin. Murong Yuxin was about to knock on the door and enter, but when she heard the sound of conversation coming from inside, a weak woman said in a mournful voice, "Granny Li, that money may be related to Zhou Yun's life, I can't give it to you until I understand the reason!" ”

Another hoarse and low old woman said in a low voice, "Who doesn't know that when you come to your house, Zhou Yun picked the second lady of Huainan Mansion as an escort, and the wealth and glory are endless, what is this money?" Hmph, you're just deliberately not paying your debts! ”

"Granny Li, you also know that all this money was sent by Zhou Yun, since he entered the Huainan Palace, he has cleared up with me, how can you use the money he put here to pay off the debt I owe you? Granny Li, if you give a few more days, I will definitely find a way to pay off the arrears. ”

"Just you? This sick look? Hum! Granny Li snorted, "If you could afford it, you wouldn't owe money a long time ago." ”

That Granny Li is a thick, fat and fat half-old lady, she was dragged tightly by a sickly-looking and thin little woman at the moment, and wanted to shake off her hand several times, but unexpectedly, although the little woman was weak, she tried her best, but she couldn't break free.

The little woman used all her strength at the moment to drag Granny Li and prevent her from getting away, so she didn't reply to her words. That Granny Li was annoyed and angry, and scolded angrily, "Zhou Yun was selected as an escort by the second lady of King Huainan at this time, and she is not a corner to sleep and eat with, how about it?" Hengzhu is just a meat seller! Didn't I say it earlier, instead of this, it would be better to sell it to Fireworks Willow Lane, and make a lot more money than entering the palace? ”

"Granny Li, you are an elder, how can you say such unbearable things to your juniors? You...... You are insulting Zhou Yun. Although I, Ji Qin, am useless, I can't allow my relatives to be insulted like this! I—I'm fighting with you! After Ji Qin finished speaking, she lowered her head and slammed into the woman's arms.

When Granny Li saw that this sick cat dared to play tricks on herself, she couldn't help sneering, and she raised her leg to kick her. Give her a hard kick and let her know how ruthless my wife is!

But before this kick started, Ji Qin had already rushed over and hit her head in the chest. Granny Li soared, took three steps back, and felt that she couldn't stand anymore, so she sat on the ground.

Ji Qin also panted violently because of this exertion, covered her chest and breathed heavily.

Granny Li looked at Ji Qin, whose lips were pale, and was stunned for a while, then suddenly covered her hands on her chest, looked forward with her feet and tried her best, and pretended to hum, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, my chest hurts so much, I dare to hit your hooves and get sick!" Hmph, hey, Ji Qin, this is a good mile, you have to pay me for treatment and recuperation! ”

Ji Qin's eyes widened in disbelief, "You, you, Granny Li, you are so strong, how can you get sick so easily." ”

"Alas, I'm mainly going to make you angry." Granny Li moaned fakely, but she couldn't help but glance at the panicked Ji Qin proudly.

Although Ji Qin knew that she was taking the opportunity to play a scoundrel, after all, she did hit her with her head just now, and the facts were there, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and she was secretly anxious in her heart.

That Granny Li became more and more open, and danced for a while before she slowly wanted to get up, and took the opportunity to reprimand her again, and by the way, to see how much she could knock her.

Before he could fully get up, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be grabbed by someone, and when he hurriedly looked at it, he saw that it was originally lifted high for a small aristocratic girl, and suddenly his whole body was crispy, as if it had softened into a mass of meat sauce that could be rubbed.

The person who came was naturally Murong Yuxin, she had been listening outside the door for a long time, and she couldn't hold it anymore, so she pushed the door in and came in, holding the woman in her hand, and her eyebrows were cold.

The woman was restrained by her, and hurriedly turned the wrinkles on her face into chrysanthemums, and flattered, "This eldest lady has good skills and good temperament." I don't know if my wife has offended you, please let go and spare me this time. ”

Murong Yuxin sneered, "Didn't you feel distressed just now?" I deliberately brought you up to see how you died. "Ahem, ahem," Granny Li is old and refined, and this one is here to give Ji Qin a head, so she hurriedly changed her words, "The old woman was joking with Miss Ji just now, but she didn't dare to take it seriously." ”

"So, you didn't let Ji Qin do anything wrong?" Murong Yuxin lifted her a little higher off the ground.

Granny Li stared at the ground with her eyes, only to feel faint for a while, and hurriedly said, "Of course not, of course not." ”

"It's good if you don't have it, then you leave Zhou Yun's money bag and get out of here immediately." After Murong Yuxin finished speaking, she put the mother-in-law head on her feet and put her down on the ground.

Granny Li hurriedly rolled over, got up neatly, stretched out her head and smiled at Murong Yuxin, seeing that the other party still didn't give her a good face, she had to put the money bag on the ground and quietly slipped out.

Murong Yuxin pretended not to see it, went straight over and stared at Ji Qin, and asked, "Where is Zhou Yun?" ”

"You, who are you?" Ji Qin took half a step back vigilantly.

"I am Murong Yuxin, the second lady of Huainan Palace, Zhou Yun came back this time and ran away. I know he's been to you, so don't try to deny it. But don't worry, no one else in the palace knows about this except me. So you'd better tell me the truth, or I'll be self-defeating and get the matter to my mother, and I won't be able to help you." ”

When Ji Qin heard that she was the second lady of the main master, and Zhou Yun ran out secretly, her face turned pale with fright, and she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and she couldn't help bending down and gasping for breath......

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Murong Yuxin couldn't press her again and again, so she had to help her sit down and give her a smooth stroke on her back. After rubbing for a while, Ji Qin gradually stopped panting, but suddenly knelt down on Murong Yuxin's knees and said, "Second Miss, Zhou Yun is still young and not very sensible, I hope that Second Miss will have a lot, and I will forgive him this time because he is a first offender." ”

Murong Yuxin pulled her up and said, "You don't need to say this, I will try my best to be considerate." After all, he's my man, and I don't want him to do anything and let other people see my jokes. But you must tell me the truth where he is, and you must not hide anything from him. ”

"This morning, Zhou Yun suddenly came to me and left these taels of silver, saying that it was money for me to recuperate. He was accompanied by two other people who seemed to be wealthy families. I thought it was a little strange, but Zhou Yun's explanation was a little strange, he said that they were sent by the second lady to send them to deliver the silver. This money is not a lot, and Zhou Yun's identity is not special, and he is in the palace, as for letting the two family members accompany him all the way?

Although I had some doubts in my heart, I also knew that even if I asked him, he would not tell the truth if he asked what he did not want to say, so I just refused to accept his money. But he was willing to do it, threw the money in the house and ran out, but shouted something outside the house to tell me to take care of my body and take care of my body. I chased him out, but he was already far away. Second Miss ...... Could it be that this money is not the wages issued by the royal government? ”

The more Ji Qin spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong, and the more worried she became, grabbing Murong Yuxin's sleeve tightly and begging her to help......

Murong Yuxin's mood became heavier and heavier when she heard her explain the ins and outs of the matter, and she thought, if she guessed correctly, Zhou Yun must have sold herself outside again, and the two family members who came here with him must have been sent by the buyer to supervise him. If you know who the buyer is, it's not too complicated. But the key is that he didn't tell the truth to Ji Qin either, who the buyer was, no one knew except himself. This thing has no clues, where did she start?

Although she felt that this matter was quite tricky, Murong Yuxin did not want to make Ji Qin even more sad. She comforted Ji Qin and reassured her that she had a way to get him back, and she would try to be lenient about it

Ji Qin's heart turned a little calm, and Murong Yuxin left the Ji family, went out of Xiaoxi Village, returned to the carriage, and asked the coachman to drive back to the city.

Back in the city, Murong Yuxin was clueless, took a horse-drawn carriage around the street a few more times, and ordered the coachman to drive to the market. The horse's hooves were gained, and Fang walked most of the street, when suddenly there was a commotion in front, and a group of people chased and ran over. The man running in front of him was very familiar, and he suddenly turned out to be wishful.

Murong Yu was overjoyed, lifted the curtain of the car, and jumped to the ground. But I only heard "plop", and the men and women chasing after him shouted, "Throw yourself into the river, this stinky boy has committed suicide by throwing himself into the river!" ”

Murong Yuxin rushed to the bridge, but saw the young man who was floating and sinking in the middle of the river, and was about to be submerged, with beautiful eyebrows and a stubborn expression, it was Ruyi who was accompanying him in his room.

The wishful soaking in the river, looking up at the crowd watching on the shore, cold, hateful and fearful, without a trace of blood. Suddenly, he closed his eyes, and without struggling, he listened to the man sink to the bottom of the water.

Seeing this, Murong Yuxin took off his coat, took a breath, and jumped off the river with a "poof". Three times and two times, he swam to the surface of the sinking water, raised his neck, took a deep breath again, and then held his breath and dived into the water.

The water waves were clear, and Murong Yuxin vaguely saw a vague figure below, knowing that it was Ruyi, she quickly reached out and grabbed it, but just grabbed his hair. Murong Yuxin made a lot of effort in his hand, struggled to rise up, and flicked the water a few times in succession, and his head and face had already surfaced.

Murong Yuxin breathed a big sigh, paddling with one hand, and exerting a strong force with the other, to lift Ruyi out of the water. That Ruyi was probably confused by the water, and if he looked hard at the water and sank, he almost choked Murong Yuxin.

Murong Yuxin couldn't, so he had to let his head dip in the water, dragging him with one hand and paddling with the other, swimming towards the shore
