Chapter 36: Escape
CHAPTER XXXVI
The Cui family had something to do, and almost everyone crowded into the wing room and kitchen of the east courtyard.
Cui Ming looked at the decoction, and Cui Xibin accompanied the doctor to talk in the hall. Ruan Sanniang and Cui Xiyue were busy cooking in the kitchen, and Cui Xizheng, as a little uncle, naturally ran to his room to avoid suspicion.
And Cui Ximin was staying beside the haggard Qu Daya, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in her eyes.
Who else will notice that at this time, the main room of the East Courtyard is Wan Yu, which exists in name only?
What's in it for her to stay? Now a little wind and grass will involve her body, not to mention that she is now full of mud and can't think about many things clearly.
Xiao Cui took care of a good qiΔ carrying two burdens, and Cheng Wanyu left a letter and left.
Swaggered out of the east courtyard, and then led two horses in the stable and closed the door.
The Cui family should soon find out about Cheng Wanyu's disappearance. Even if no one goes to the east courtyard to see the master and servant, there will always be people who find that two horses have been lost in the stable. After all, the Cui family only has three horses, and it is really scary to suddenly lose two.
The Cheng family has a wide range of businesses, and Cheng Wanyu has been riding horses since she was a child. All the girls her age were forced to learn to ride horses, and no one knew who would be the dowry in the future.
Xiao Cui's riding skills are very average, and she only learned them for a few days when she was a child. I contacted Cheng Wanyu a few days before I came to serve her, and I was still a little flustered when I rode a horse today.
Cheng Wanyu happily walked towards Dongliang River, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiaocui stepped forward and asked, is the young lady still waiting for her uncle to come to her?
Cheng Wanyu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Xiaocui, you've been there."
Huaizhou Mansion? β
Xiao Cui Lang laughed loudly: "Before serving the young lady, the slave maid has never walked out of the Dongliang River. β
"Okay, I'll take you to Huaizhou Mansion to have a look!" After saying that, the horse turned around and walked the other way.
Even if Xiaocui has never been to Huaizhou Mansion, she knows that the distance is far away. The two of them will have to walk for at least two days to arrive, which can make Xiaocui feel at a loss for a while. If something happens on the road, it will be you who will lose your life by then.
But she didn't dare to force Miss to return to Cheng's house, because she also knew the bitterness in Miss's heart at this time.
There is no place for her to live in her mother-in-law's house now, and as long as her mother's family goes back, it will inevitably be an uproar. For now, only the two of them are leaving, but where can they go?
Cheng Wanyu hurriedly walked on the official road where no one was around, as if someone was waiting for her at the end of the road.
I never thought that even on such a day, the small shop next to the inn would be open. Don't they need to go home for the New Year? It's still the same as myself, I can't go back to my home!
Cheng Wanyu got off the horse and sat down in Xiao Er's surprised eyes. I asked for two bowls of somen noodles and ate them with Xiaocui.
She also knew that she was very bold in doing so, and that a married woman must abide by her duty no matter how her husband treats her. ran out willfully, and the in-laws didn't like the people in the village to gossip.
But she couldn't bear it, she couldn't see such a scene. The Cui family's enthusiasm for Qu Daya, their vigilance against her, and Cui Ximin's hatred of her. It will remind her of what she did in her previous life. It was like being set up in a raging fire, and she was uncomfortable when roasted.
After eating, I also warmed up. Cheng Wanyu said to Xiaocui: "Let's travel faster, and stay at the next post station for a night." Arrive in town before dark tomorrow, and you and I will have a good year! β
Xiao Cui nodded, how could she be qualified to say no. just asked in a low voice: "What if the Cui family finds out about Miss's letter and runs to the Cheng family to find us?" β
Cheng Wanyu shook her head: "They don't dare!" "Even if Cui Ximin hates herself, she doesn't have the courage to go to the Cheng family to ask for someone. When the family is old, won't tear him up? Even if he is kind and pleasant, can he still get used to the Cheng family's slave Qu Daya? A bowl of medicine was poured down, and the golden grandson of the Cui family immediately turned into a pool of blood.
The most important thing for Ping Po is her grandson, and it is impossible for her to let the Cui family go to the Cheng family to find her. And I also took advantage of this effort to go to Huaizhou Mansion to have a look, and I always had to find a suitable place to settle down.
The master and servant were about to leave when the thick curtain of the shop was lifted. A patch of snow swept up from the outside, and when it entered the house, it turned into water when it fell to the ground.
The people who came were tightly wrapped, followed by a few strong men. Cheng Wanyu felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so she pulled Xiaocui and left in a hurry.
The master and servant had just mounted their horses and had not yet gone out, when they saw the leader of the previous wave of men come out. grabbed Cheng Wanyu's reins, so frightened that Cheng Wanyu pulled out a whip and threw it over his head.
The man pulled the reins with one hand and caught Cheng Wanyu's whip with his left hand. Just when Cheng Wanyu was stunned, she didn't know why she moved. pulled Cheng Wanyu off the horse and hugged her into her arms.
Then he pulled off Cheng Wanyu's thick cloak, revealing her whole face. When Cheng Wanyu saw this disciple act like this, she was so angry that she stretched out her leg and kicked at the man's crotch.
The reckless man didn't expect her to make such a move, and he didn't have time to dodge and was kicked. let go of Cheng Wanyu's hand that imprisoned her, and was pushed hard by her.
Seeing that the beautiful woman was about to escape, the man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Cheng Wanyu! β
Cheng Wanyu, who was about to get on the horse, was stunned for a moment and looked back at the man on the ground. I saw that the man raised his head and opened the black face scarf, which turned out to be Shi Jun.
Thinking of the urgency just now, she kicked someone's life. I really can't say it, and I don't know whether to get on the horse or walk over to say hello with a red face.
Shi Jun stood up awkwardly and slowly walked to Cheng Wanyu's side: "Where are you going?" β
Cheng Wanyu looked back at Xiaocui and said with a smile: "I took the maid out to walk the horse, and I thought I had met a disciple." Young Master Shi, I've been offended! β
Shi Jun glanced at Xiao Cui, who was still on the horse, and did not miss the two packages on the horse's back. frowned: "For the Chinese New Year, are you going to go to Huaizhou Mansion to see the lanterns?" β
Cheng Wanyu's eyes were panicked, and she stepped forward and pulled Shi Jun and said, "Don't tell my brother, I don't want my father and mother to follow me to the fire!" Knowing that she couldn't hide it, she simply appointed her to tell the reason.
"I don't want to be suspicious at my in-laws' house and hide out for a year. Young Master Shi, you just pretend that you haven't seen me, okay? Cheng Wanyu pleaded in a low voice, pointing to the sky with a pitiful face: "It's going to snow again this day, and I'm still in a hurry!" β
"Do you have to go to Huaizhou Mansion?" Shi Jun frowned, and Cheng Wanyu's eyes instantly lit up: "Yes, you have to find a fun place!" β
Shi Jun suddenly stuffed his fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly. The big men in the small shop suddenly rushed out and gathered around the three of them.
One of the men with a somewhat familiar figure pulled open the face towel, and Cheng Wanyu recognized this as Shi Jun's henchman Tong Yong.
After Shi Jun gave a few words, Tong Yong took two of them away. Shi Jun looked at Cheng Wanyu and stretched out his hand to make a movement. motioned for Cheng Wanyu to enter the small shop, but she refused if she didn't want to.
"If you don't go in, I'll tell your father!" With such a threat, Cheng Wanyu gritted her teeth and entered the shop again.
Shi Jun looked at Cheng Wanyu, who was unhappy, and the maid next to him who was holding the package with a vigilant face. I think it's very interesting, but at the same time I feel very sad.
I have known Cheng Youzhi for many years, and I don't know how many things related to Cheng Wanyu I have heard from him. The two are about the same age, and they almost grew up together.
Cheng Wanyu's favored Cheng dΓΉ in the Cheng family, he knows the interesting things of his childhood and the objects he likes. Even every time he and Cheng Youzhi leave home to go to other places, he will always pick a few local fun and delicious foods for Cheng Wanyu to take back.
He used to despise Cheng Youzhi's girlish behavior very much, and he was even more disgusted with the Cheng family's love for this girl.
But since he knew this girl, what he saw and heard deviated too much from his memory.
This is not the Cheng Wanyu he knows, let alone the Cheng Wanyu he wants to see.
Such a favored woman should enjoy the ultimate luxurious life, not be kicked out by her in-laws the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Seeing that Shi Jun didn't speak, Cheng Wanyu didn't know what to do. Every time I met him after being reborn, it was embarrassing. Either something happened to her herself, or he provoked someone. Anyway, it's nothing good, it's just a dead star.
The more Cheng Wanyu didn't speak, the darker Shi Jun's face became. I don't know how long it has been, but Cheng Wanyu has begun to get restless. She wanted to ask Shi Jun what he was going to do with her, did he really want to go to Cui's house or Cheng's house to report the news?
At this time, the door curtain was opened again, and Tong Yong came in alone. He walked up to Shi Jun and nodded at Shi Jun. Then Shi Jun got up and said to Cheng Wanyu: "Let's go!" β
Walking out of the shop, Cheng Wanyu saw a cyan linoleum carriage. For some reason, a strange idea came to Cheng Wanyu's heart.
She and Xiaocui entered the carriage and found two hand warmers inside. I have to say that Tong Yong is really very careful. Cheng Wanyu couldn't imagine how this was done, the carriage was very warm, and even the pillows were baked.
The carriage moved, and Cheng Wanyu hurriedly climbed to the window and looked out. Seeing that it was still the road to Huaizhou Mansion, I breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Jun helped her again, and he didn't know when he would be able to repay the favor.
With the carriage, the driver and servant don't have to suffer from the cold, but they are tossed and turned because of the cross-horse whip.
She can understand Shi Jun's thoughts, and since she has met herself, she can't ignore it. sent her to Huaizhou Mansion to settle down, and rushed back to Qingshan Village overnight. After all, tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and as the concubine of the long house, he has a great responsibility.
took a shortcut, and finally slowed down when Cheng Wanyu was upside down.
Xiao Cui secretly opened the curtain of the carriage door, turned back to Cheng Wanyu with a smile and said, "Miss, it's time to be in the city!" β
At this time, Shi Jun, who had been guarding the carriage, said: "Go to Beiyuan!" β
Cheng Wanyu didn't know where Beiyuan was, but it was certain that it wasn't the name of an inn.
"Stay here, Tong Yong will stay and protect you. What do you need to tell him, it's too chaotic in the city, you two girls can't go to the inn to live! Leaving these words, Shi Jun, who was already tired, turned over and got on his horse. With a group of people, he left with a roar.
Cheng Wanyu looked at Xiao Cui, who was already stupid, sighed, pushed open the door and walked in.
