Chapter 58: Level after level
God, you're not going to be so deliberate to fool me, are you? Why is it Zhou Youcheng?
Xi Yao seemed to have been struck by lightning, and her body stiffened for a moment.
Zhou Youcheng, but her nominal ex-fiancΓ©, if it weren't for the end of the marriage because of the "resurrection of the dead", it is estimated that they would have talked about marriage by now.
"What? I heard that I was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was scared? Pulling the reins, Zhou Youcheng was still holding Xi Yao in his arms.
Xi Yao suddenly felt full of pimples, very uncomfortable, and a voice in her heart reminded loudly: Hurry up and leave this dangerous person, the target of your mission is the General's Mansion, and you can go back to the twentieth floor to report on your work after completing the task, what kind of marriage match, it has nothing to do with you!
Yes, it's better to cause as little trouble as possible.
Still, reason prevailed.
Xi Yao saw a long distance before and after, but she didn't see a carriage over there, so if she got rid of Zhou Youcheng, she would really have to walk back to the city, which was simply unrealistic. If you can't go back before dark, you'll really fall into the trap of HD Blue!
Gritting her teeth fiercely, Xi Yao squeezed out a smile, "Since Gongzi Zhou insists on helping, the little woman is disrespectful, but you are from a noble background, and riding a horse with a little girl will lose your identity, why don't you let my girl come over, how about you ride the horse of your entourage?" β
Instantly understood what Xi Yao meant, Zhou Youcheng smiled loudly, "Since Miss feels reluctant, then it's okay to change horses." As he spoke, he took Xi Yao's hand, put the reins in her palm, shook off her long legs and jumped off the horse.
After riding another horse, he suddenly said, "Miss can ride a horse?" β
"A little bit ......"
In the following time, Xi Yao and Zhou Youcheng's horses walked side by side, and the speed of the march was not very fast.
"I've already made my identity known, so miss, you?"
"Zhou Gongzi is voluntary, and I didn't ask, so if I don't want to, I can still not tell my identity, right?"
This can be regarded as a euphemistic refusal, Zhou Youcheng laughed and stopped asking, "Since Miss doesn't want to answer, that's it." I'm curious, is the person who designed to frame you a relative? β
Xi Yao's eyes darkened and she shifted her gaze. She didn't think of the Wang family and Gao Gaolan's mother and daughter, but Bai Moyang.
Until now, Xi Yao couldn't believe that Bai Moyang really didn't send a carriage over.
drove away the carriage, Zhou Youcheng's little joke and bad intentions made Xi Yao misunderstand Bai Moyang.
Seeing that he seemed to have touched the knot in the heart of the white gauze woman, Zhou Youcheng ended the topic in an instant.
The horse's back was upside down, the white gauze fluttered with the breeze, faintly, and Xi Yao's face under the white gauze could be seen through the gap.
This looming mystery is the most overwhelming.
For a while, Zhou Youcheng was a little stunned, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene when she saved people at the door of the tailor shop that day. I was even more curious about the identity of this woman.
Time was surprisingly fast, and the city gate was in front of him, Xi Yao leaned closer to Red Candle's ear and whispered, "Hold on." Then he turned his head and looked at Zhou Youcheng with a smile, "Zhou Gongzi, today's great grace, the little woman is unforgettable, your horse is very good, I will order someone to send it to the house later, so I will leave!" As he spoke, Xi Yao hit her legs, and the horse immediately sped up.
Before Zhou Youcheng could react, Xi Yao had already walked far away.
The entourage hurriedly followed, intending to see the master's signal, but saw Zhou Youcheng with a smile on his face, "In the end, I still don't want me to know my identity...... Sooner or later, you'll show your true colors! β
Jingzhao Mansion in the evening was in chaos. In the Cuizhu Garden, Wang and Gao Gao Lan sat on the Taishi chair under the corridor, and in the center of the courtyard were rows of girls and mothers, all crying and crying.
When the old lady came on crutches, she was already like this.
When Wang saw the old lady coming, he was overjoyed, but his face was extremely nervous, "Old lady, you are here." Hurriedly let his Taishi chair sit on the old lady.
The old lady frowned and didn't sit down, standing in front of the girls, refusing to move for a long time, just looking at the floor stone with a cane, "The master went out early in the morning, but you all said that you don't know where to go, is this the answer that a girl in the yard should have?!" β
Wang seemed to think so, but said, "Yes, old lady, I have already reprimanded them just now, but Ying'er, this child, too, I didn't even tell me when I left the house, I was shocked when I first learned the news, and I have been out for half a day now, and I don't know where I went!" β
The faint meaning of these words was to complain that Xi Yao had left the house and did not inform her of the housewife.
It stands to reason that there are rules for the inner house, and daughters like Xi Yao and Gao Gao Lan have to tell their mothers when they go out.
The Wang family now wants to deliberately explain the reason in front of the old lady to prove that Xi Yao went out this time is not justified!
When her daughter Gao Gaolan told her about today's plan, Wang first burst into a rage, reprimanding her daughter for making hasty moves without consulting her, and then calmed down, since things have developed to this point, then you have to go down the steps.
The mother and daughter calculated that as soon as noon passed, if Xi Yao did not return home, it was estimated that she would let the old man go. The bustard was successfully collected. As long as she enters that kind of place, she can't even try to escape even if she puts on her wings. What's more, the carriages sent out have all returned, even if she has wasted all her strength to get rid of the old age. Bustard, but returning to the city is still a big problem, pass after pass, the Wang mother and daughter confidently believe that Xi Yao will never come back today.
That's why I set up the ring in Cuizhuyuan early, ready to sing a good show in front of the old lady and the girls and mothers in the house.
The old lady was so smart that she could naturally hear the meaning of Wang's words, but she pretended not to understand, "With two girls, Ying'er naturally didn't sneak out, so there must be a reason, you, do you know that Miss hasn't received the greeting post recently?" β
"The slave doesn't know ......" in unison, as if the answer that had been discussed in the first place, popped out of the mouths of the girls and mothers over and over again.
The old lady's brows became tighter and tighter, seeing that it was getting dark, if Xi Yao didn't come back, I was afraid that even the old lady wouldn't be able to protect her.
The unmarried daughter did not return all night, which was simply a shame for the entire family, even if she was innocent, she could not withstand the criticism of many people.
There are too many lessons from the past, and how many ladies in the Great Zhou Dynasty were kicked out of their homes because they couldn't survive to the end, and some embarked on the road of self-destruction.
Thinking of this, the old lady's hands were cold, and one of the crutches was not steady, and she fell to the ground.
This crisp sound, like the last straw that crushed the camel, slammed into the old lady's heart.
