Chapter 157: Out of the City

Even if you are angry, you can't lose your sense of proportion in doing things, so as not to let people say that the Marquis of Anguo Mansion is bullying the old man with a large number of people!

Laughing and laughing, Mrs. Xia still asked the maid to go out to check, the Song family is old and does not fall, if it is really disabled, it will inevitably have to be tossed again. Song was annoyed and angry, and scolded the maid who went to help her up, and then shook off the maid's hand very backbonely, limped away, and her personal grandmother hurriedly chased out.

When the maid came back, she saw that the gift box of the Guogong Mansion was still in place, and the strong men who picked the box were also looking at each other at a loss.

"Where did you come from, where to pick it up, by the way, tell your wife, our Anguo Marquis Mansion is not uncommon with your idea of, I want to apologize and call you six young ladies to come!"

After saying this, he went straight back to the side hall, leaving only an arrogant back. The strong men were surprised, and hurriedly picked up the boxes and left. It turns out that the maids in the Marquis of Anguo Mansion are so powerful!

Everyone in the house tacitly avoided what had just happened, and the old lady asked about the situation after entering the palace, and especially inquired about the tone of Sun Guifei and the news of the six princes, although they were a little disappointed, they also let them go back to the hospital.

"Miss, I have a letter from you today."

As soon as she entered the door and sat down, before she could drink a sip of tea to quench her thirst, Qiu Ju handed over a small bamboo tube less than an inch long with both hands, and Xia Xue'er happily took it, but the more she looked at it, the more solemn her expression became.

After pondering for a long time, he got up and walked to the incense burner, lifted the lid, threw the note in his hand, and watched as a fire ignited in the furnace and devoured it before closing the lid again.

The letter was not from the Netherworld, and although it was not signed, she recognized the handwriting at a glance, and she couldn't help but think of a handsome but childish face. They hadn't seen each other since they had broken down a few months ago in the Bishui Pavilion. Although he heard the news of the Killing Hall from time to time, he never said a word about him.

Murong Zetao, are you okay?

Today was tossed and turned, my body was very tired, and after dinner, I only read Zishu for a while and rested early. There is an ice basin in the house, which is not very cool, but it is comfortable. Cuizhu carefully removed her dress, dug up the ointment to remove the scar and wiped it evenly, and gently massaged it in circles, and only then took the tulle to cover it after the ointment was absorbed, and Xia Xueer had already fallen asleep at this time.

He crept to his feet, put the gauze tent, and extinguished a few more candles, leaving only two candles, swaying with a dim light, shining on Xia Xue'er's sleeping cheeks, leaving a shadow. When I got out of the room, I saw Dongmei stepping in, and hurriedly made a silent gesture before she spoke.

"Miss is asleep?"

"When I slept, I must have been tired."

Cuizhu nodded, whispered as she took Dongmei's hand and walked straight out.

It was already completely dark, and there were lanterns hanging on the corridor, but it was not too dark, and Cuizhu and Dongmei chose an excellent position to stand, so that they could see the movement of the inner room, and not let the sound of talking disturb the young lady's sleep.

Dongmei looked in with her head enough, sure that the young lady was not woken up, and then said, "Sister Xianglan is back." ”

"Did you enter the house?"

"A message has just been sent in, but no one has yet entered the city."

Cuizhu sighed lightly, frowned slightly, and said again after a while: "The city gate has been closed at this hour, so you must have to spend the night outside the city, you will go to the gatehouse early tomorrow morning, be careful not to let people find out." ”

Dongmei nodded and replied softly, "Got it." ”

Then he said indignantly: "Shuang'er inquired about it, she just washed her clothes in the backyard for more than ten days, and she was released again after saying a few good words to the old lady, as if that thing had never happened at all!" ”

"You don't have to be angry, you knew this would be the result."

Cuizhu comforted her. Fortunately, the old lady still knew how to avoid it, although she was exempted from punishment, but she was not allowed to go out too early, and still stayed in the backyard, until the punishment period was over, and she was called back to serve by her side. From this, it can be shown that the old lady is still jealous of the young lady in her heart, isn't this the result they want?!

The two maids chatted for a while, and then they went back to their rooms. Cuizhu is highly alert, so she has been keeping vigil since Xia Xue'er was injured in the prison.

The three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the appointed day, Xia Xueer did not wear a convenient Hu dress like she used to go out, but dressed as a woman.

The white juan gauze gold silk embroidered long skirt is tied with a four-finger-wide aqua blue belt around the waist, and a shawl of the same color is worn outside, and a colorful sachet and a jade pendant are hung around the waist. did not ride a horse, but took two girls, Cuizhu and Xianglan, and took a carriage to the pavilion on the outskirts of the city. Three days ago, Murong Zetao sent a letter to her, agreeing to meet in the pavilion in the northern suburbs today, saying that he had the person she wanted.

Today happened to be the market day, and there were many times more people coming and going in the city than on normal days, and it was more difficult for the carriage to walk. Because most of the villagers in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships came into the city to catch the market, or carried their own local products into the city to sell, or made a special trip to buy some daily necessities, there were many people in and out of the city, and the team was discharged a few feet away, and the coachman naturally took the official road. handed over the identity token of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and the guards guarding the city opened the curtain to confirm and let them go.

As soon as the carriage left the city gate, a breeze blew the corner of the curtain of the car, and Xia Xue'er happened to see the six princes who were riding on horseback and passing by her. Mu Xuanlong was dusty, looking tired, followed by two guards, one of whom was also injured, he didn't seem to find Xia Xue'er in the carriage, and went straight to the city gate.

Xia Xue'er stretched out her hand and pulled the curtain of the car steadily, although she had doubts in her heart, she did not reveal it in the slightest.

Cuizhu thought that Xia Xue'er pulled the curtain of the car because the wind was blowing, so she hurriedly reached over and pressed the curtain of the car that wanted to fly up again, of course, she saw Mu Xuanlong on horseback, so she asked without thinking: "The person who passed over just now seems to be the sixth prince, does the young lady want to get out of the car and say hello?" In her opinion, the young lady is not young, no matter her net worth or appearance, the sixth prince can be said to be a good candidate.

Xia Xue'er slowly leaned back on the cushion, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and said softly: "No need, people have already entered the city."

Mu Xuanlong only brought two cronies and guards with him when he went out of the city this time, what is the so-called matter, she can roughly guess that he is not far from ten, but just now I saw that his face was solemn, and one of the guards also hung up the color, presumably this trip was not smooth, and she did not have any obligation to worry about him before Uncle Rong was released from prison safely.

The carriage went north along the ancient road after leaving the city gate, and after about half an hour, the car stopped, Xia Xue'er opened her eyes and muttered: "Arrived?" (To be continued.) )
