Escape.

Xiaolian doesn't have the habit of snooze on weekdays, so she gets up early in the morning.

As soon as I went out, I met the woman who opened the door yesterday, and heard Xiao Ce call her Granny Qiao, and Xiaolian followed suit.

At this time, Granny Qiao was passing by her door, and when she saw her push the door out, her face was full of joy, "Girl, why don't you rest for a while, and get up so early?" ”

Xiaolian rubbed her eyes, "I usually get up at this time, and I've long been used to it." ”

Granny Qiao looked very pleased, "What a diligent person~"

She said and beckoned to the back, where several women dressed as maids were cleaning the courtyard.

"You send two men to serve the girl to wash up."

Xiaolian has never been served, so she is naturally not used to it, so she waved her hand again and again, "Granny Qiao, don't use it, I can do it myself." ”

Granny Qiao smiled and said, "If the girls need anything, just tell them, and I'll go to the dining room and make some breakfast." ”

Xiaolian touched her stomach and responded with a smile, "Thank you, Granny Qiao!" ”

Granny Joe happily turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

When Xiaolian saw her leaving, she also prepared to fetch water and wash.

Seeing that both of them had left, the maids below began to whisper.

"Didn't the young master bring the girl back in the past without staying overnight, how did you ...... this time?"

Another maid hurriedly said, "Do you know what this girl is called Young Master?" ”

Everyone was curious, "What?" ”

The maid lowered her voice, "I heard it with my own ears yesterday, her name is Brother Young Master Xiao Ce~"

Listening to the sound of gasps around her, the maid was very proud.

"What is the young master's reaction?"

"At that time, the young master was walking in front, and the girl was following behind, and the young master didn't seem to react."

"So, this girl is very likely to become a young lady?"

"Isn't that? If you want to say, this girl is really lucky, there were so many girls in the past, which one could get into the eyes of the young master? ”

There was envy all around.

"No wonder Granny Qiao's attitude towards her is different from that towards those girls in the past."

"In the past, those girls, Granny Qiao didn't pay attention to them at all."

"Also, if you can be liked by Granny Qiao, you can be regarded as half a young lady."

At this time, a little maid tugged at the sleeve of the shinobi next to her, and said in a low voice, "Okay, okay, don't say it, come here." ”

The few people who were still talking a moment ago swallowed their voices instantly, bowed their heads and did their own things, as if the scene had not happened.

Xiaolian carried water into the house, and after washing, a little maid happened to come in with some food.

"Girl, this is the breakfast that Granny Qiao ordered the dining room to prepare for the girl."

Xiaolian was tidying up the bed, and when she heard this, she walked to the table and smiled at the maid, "Thank you for this girl." ”

The maid lowered her eyes and smiled, "The girl is polite, the girl will use it slowly." ”

Seeing that the maid was about to go out, Xiaolian hurriedly stopped her, "Isn't Brother Xiao Ce with me?" Where is he? ”

The little girl's face did not change, "The young master went out early in the morning." ”

With that, he withdrew.

Xiaolian pursed her mouth, but she didn't care too much.

After eating, she ran to the side of the path and waited.

Granny Qiao was afraid that she would be tired, so she specially moved a chair for her and left a little maid to accompany her outside.

But most of the days passed, and there was not a single carriage.

The little maid behind her was a little curious, "Girl, dare to ask who you are waiting for." ”

Xiaolian propped her chin and sighed, "Sister." ”

"Is there anything important?"

Xiaolian nodded, and immediately shook her head again.

At this time, a few people walked not far away, looking at the clothes that should be nearby villagers, entering the city to buy and walking back.

There were only a few of them on the road, and they could hear the content of the conversation very clearly.

"I see that there were so many people guarding the gate of this city yesterday, why are they all gone today?"

"I just heard about it, and it is said that the person who is going to be arrested by the imperial court has been caught."

"Is it the matter of the county lord of Jiahe who spread in the city two days ago?"

The other person sneered lightly, "What is the county lord of Jiahe, he is a fake, and now, he has been imprisoned in the criminal department, and I am afraid that he will not live long." ”

"Tut-tut...... If something like this happens, no matter how hard the backer is, he can't save it......"

"Isn't it? It is said that when she was not the lord of the county, she relied on the support of King Yi and was used to being arrogant. ”

"It's not been a few days since it was checked."

"It's a self-inflicted ......"

……

As the two walked away, the sound gradually became inaudible.

From the very beginning, when Xiaolian heard them mention the Lord of Jiahe, she tugged at her head and listened.

Now knowing that the county lord has been locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, she was stunned for a long time, her mind was buzzing, her face was pale, and in this November day, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Suddenly, she got up and ran in the direction of the city gate.

The little maid behind her didn't notice Xiaolian's abnormality, and when she reacted, Xiaolian had already run away.

She shouted as she chased after Xiaolian, who only cared about running forward, as if she had not heard the sound behind her.

The little maid did not dare to go too far from the free house, and after chasing some distance, she stopped, and was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and then turned around and ran back.

Inside, Granny Qiao listened to the little maid's story, anxious and angry.

"I asked you to go out just to let you watch it, don't do anything, it's good now, people are lost!"

Granny Qiao sat on the chair, panting with anger.

The little maid below knelt and cried in fright, "I...... I don't know why the girl ran away all of a sudden, she was fine a moment ago......"

Granny Qiao glanced at the maid impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't cry, crying makes me upset!" You hurry up to the city to find the young master and explain this matter to him. ”

The maid wiped the tears from her face, got up, and hurried to the city.

Xiao Ce often forgets the hour when he is in the city on weekdays, and in the past, Granny Qiao would also send someone to find it, so the maids basically knew where Xiao Ce might be.

Towards the end of the evening, the little maid finally found Xiao Ce in a wine shop.

At that time, Xiao Ce was drinking and having fun with a few friends.

He listened to the little girl's narration and frowned.

The little maid shrank back in fright, thinking that she was going to be reprimanded, but she didn't expect Xiao Ce's chuckle to hear in her ears.

"It's okay, just go, nothing will happen."

The little maid looked up in surprise, a little suspicious that she had misheard.

Didn't you say that the young master treated this girl very differently? Why doesn't it look like that......

Xiao Ce saw that she was still standing still, and glanced up, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go back quickly after passing the word." ”

The little maid nodded stunned, and hurried to the free house.

So, among the maids in the free house, there was another rumor.

That girl was not the young master's sweetheart at all, she just followed the young master into the free house with a dead face, and the position of the young lady was still vacant......
