83. Final Departure
"You're too much, sir." Aunt Mei glared at Leng Qiuling hatefully, back then, she was married to a concubine, so she didn't have any dowry when she entered the door, and her own silver was only five hundred taels, all these years have already been spent, and those saved not long ago were also knocked into Leng Qiuling's hands.
"Okay, if you don't give it, you won't give it, I'll just prepare it again for Ge'er." After saying that, Master Leng left with Aunt Mei, and when he left, he left two minions to guard the gate of the courtyard.
Leng Qiuling couldn't be angry, and walked out holding on to the wall, Zhihua was lying unconscious in the courtyard, Leng Qiuling's pupils shrank, and shouted, "Qinuo, come out quickly." ”
"Miss, the slave has to leave too." Qinuo jumped down from the tree and said expressionlessly.
Leng Qiuling's face sank, and she nodded, "Okay, you can just help Zhihua to my bed, and I won't interfere with your decisions in other matters." ”
Qinuo nodded, pulled Zhihua up with one hand and helped him to lie down on the bed, glanced at Leng Qiuling and said, "Don't worry, Miss, Zhihua will just lie on the bed for a few days, there is no danger to life." ”
Leng Qiuling didn't raise her head, grabbed Zhihua's hand and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, Qinuo stood next to him for a while and left, and only Leng Qiuling and Zhihua were left in the entire courtyard.
At night, Zhihua coughed and opened her eyes, she first looked around, then sat down and said, "Miss, it was Aunt Mei who told the master that you were going to harm Aunt Li, and she was in a hurry, so she smashed Miss with a stool." ”
"I know." Needless to say, Leng Qiuling also guessed something, the two aunts are usually incompatible at all, but this time they joined forces to deal with her, and it was strange that there was no cat in it.
"Miss, what should I do next, my lord must explain it clearly." Zhihua got off the bed with a grunt, and the young lady was sitting next to her, how could she be more leisurely than the master.
"Zhihua, how are your injuries?" Leng Qiuling asked like this, in fact, he was not worried in his heart, a master like Master Leng would have died a long time ago if he wanted to kill someone, so he must have been measured, making people faint but not suffering any major physical damage.
Zhihua shook his head and said, "Miss, I don't have anything to do, you don't have to worry, the top priority now is to solve the matter, or we will go and explain to the master now." ”
"It's late." Leng Qiuling leaned on the side of the bed and said nonchalantly, "Daddy sent two people outside, and we can't get out of here without his consent." ”
"How so?" Zhihua's face turned pale, and he walked around the house anxiously, "Master, how can he only listen to Aunt Mei's words, so many maids have seen that Miss was injured by Aunt Mei after she came back from outside, and no one spoke up?" ”
"Okay, Zhihua, since the matter has happened, there is no point in complaining." Leng Qiuling has never been a person who feels sorry for herself, since others are not happy with him, then she will take revenge ten times and a hundred times back.
Zhihua slumped in her chair like a deflated balloon, she never thought things would get so bad all of a sudden.
"Zhihua, do you want to leave?" Leng Qiuling suddenly asked.
Zhihua was startled and quickly sat up straight, and said, "Yes, but there are people outside who can't get out at all, and the guards in the mansion patrol every quarter of an hour, so we don't have a few times at all." ”
Leng Qiuling looked out the window and said after making sure that there was no one, "You don't have to worry about these, since I have them, I must be fully prepared, Zhihua, you go back and pack up your things now, and wait for my notice at any time." ”
Zhihua walked down to pack up his things in a daze, Leng Qiuling took out a set of night clothes from the storage ring and walked out after changing, there was just a crooked neck tree in the yard, Leng Qiuling took advantage of the strength to turn over the wall, and ran towards Aunt Mei's yard after identifying the direction,
It's already night, Aunt Mei's room is still brightly lit, and bursts of laughter come from time to time in the room, "Mama Hua, I'm so happy today, Leng Qiuling's slut was finally pulled down by me, and the lord also grounded her, and even changed her relatives, I see what arrogance she will have in the future." ”
Mama Hua smiled on the side and said, "That's the eldest lady who dares to go against her aunt without her own strength, isn't that self-defeating?" ”
"Knock knock." Mama Hua heard the knock on the door and went out to take a look, but she didn't find that the figure was about to go back, she felt that the back of her head was hit hard and fainted, Leng Qiuling came out of the dark and lifted Mama Hua back to listen to the rain pavilion, and brought a person to turn in from the outside, Leng Qiuling was tired enough, she originally wanted to catch Aunt Mei over, she was worried that Leng Qiuling could only catch one slave to fill the number.
Zhihua was startled when he looked at Mama Hua in the hall after packing up his things, and stammered, "Miss, Flower, how can Mama Hua be here." ”
Leng Qiuling shook her hand and said, "What's the fuss, this is for the dead ghost, otherwise how can we get out." "When two people disappear, they always leave a corpse, and most people will think of this corpse as her, as for Leng Qiuling, who knows the painting, believes that Master Leng will definitely deal with the follow-up in order to cover up the truth.
At the third watch, a corner of Lengfu was on fire, the fire developed quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the whole yard fell into a sea of fire, and Master Leng stood outside, his eyes were extremely complicated, there were doubts, relief, and more relief.
The fire burned all night, and the next day everyone in the capital knew that the eldest lady of Lengfu was buried in the fire, because the maid in the small kitchen knocked over the oil bowl when she was making supper, which caused the fire.
Outside the city gate, two men in cloth clothes sat in the carriage and hurried away, "Little, young master, where are we going now?" ”
Leng Qiuling looked out the window and said blankly, "Let's go out of the capital first, it doesn't matter where you go, anyway, your young master and I have enough silver, and I won't starve to death no matter what." ”
Zhihua covered his mouth and laughed twice, and asked puzzledly, "Miss, why did you choose such a method, stay for two more days and wait for your injuries to heal before leaving." ”
Leng Qiuling raised her eyebrows, sneered and said, "If my father wants to change people, he has to see if I agree with him, if I leave in a few days, in case of the holy decree, everything will be too late, so today is the best time, I am dead, no matter how unhappy my father is, it is impossible to talk to the saint about the replacement." ”
Zhihua suddenly realized, and looked at Leng Qiuling with admiration, "Miss, you are so smart, Aunt Mei and Second Miss will definitely be angry to death this time, let them not follow their good intentions, and their wishful thinking will be in vain." ”
Leng Qiuling closed her eyes and squinted for a while, she was already tired after tossing all night, and she must have a good sleep when she left the boundary of the capital.
Zhihua thoughtfully covered Leng Qiuling with a dress, and the carriage finally stopped after running for more than half a day, "The two young masters have already left the capital, you can see how we go next." ”
Leng Qiuling woke up halfway through, told Zhihua to take the luggage, and the two got out of the carriage, Leng Qiuling took out fifty taels of silver from her purse and handed it to the horseman, "This is your reward, take it and leave quickly, remember that if someone asks you about us, you will say that you don't know." ”
Ma Fule took the silver and thanked him with a thousand thanks, "Don't worry, the two young masters, if the villain's mouth is tight, his memory is not good, and he will forget what happened today when he sleeps." ”
Leng Qiuling sent the groom before raising his head to look at the landing place, a quaint town, with a name engraved on a stone tablet outside, Taoyuan Village.
Leng Qiuling and Zhihua glanced at each other, and entered the town one after the other, seeing that it was about to get dark, they hurriedly found a place to settle down.
Along the way, Leng Qiuling found that most of them were residential areas, and occasionally one or two grocery stores could be seen, and there was no shadow of the larger shops or even inns.
Leng Qiuling's expression suddenly became embarrassed, she should have asked clearly when she got off the bus like this, could it be that she was really going to sleep on the street today.
Zhihua also found a problem, frowned, looked around and said, "Miss, if it really doesn't work, let's just find someone to spend the night." ”
"That's all it can be." Leng Qiuling sighed, thinking of the large number of silver tickets in the storage ring, this is really money that can't be spent.
I really thought that Zhihua had knocked on the door of the house and asked in a low voice, but before he could say a few words, the owner closed the door with a frightened face.
Zhihua touched his nose and walked back, and said stupidly, "Young master, one person thinks we are men and is unwilling to take us in." ”
Leng Qiuling couldn't help but roll her eyes, what a stupid girl she brought, she thought she was a man when she was wearing men's clothes, and shook her head Leng Qiuling turned around and went to another house.
The one who opened the door was a seven or eight-year-old girl, her coarse cloth clothes were full of patches, but they were very clean, and it could be seen that the owner of this house must be very diligent, Leng Qiuling asked in a lower voice as much as possible, "Little sister, the adults in your family are not here, and my brother has something to look for them." ”
"Tell me if there's anything, my dad is busy and doesn't have time to come out." The little girl looked at Leng Qiuling vigilantly, and the door was only open one crack, as if Leng Qiuling was not satisfied with the answer, she would close the door at any time.
Leng Qiuling squatted down, looked directly at the little girl and said, "Little sister, that brother and I are here for the first time, seeing that it is about to get dark, and there is no inn nearby, so I want to spend the night in your house, you can rest assured that we will pay." ”
The little girl lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "No, Daddy said that strangers should not be allowed to come in, and there is no extra place for you to sleep in our house, so you should go somewhere else." ”
Saying that the little girl was about to close the door, Leng Qiuling hurriedly blocked from the outside, took out a silver ingot and handed it over, "Little sister, if you let us in, the five taels of silver will be yours, don't worry, we are not bad people." ”
