Episode 6 The goldfinch is released

Zheng Yuxuan was locked up in her own show, sitting on the bed, sobbing sadly, she never thought that her father could really ask someone to lock her up. Just now, under her father's strict order, the two guards forcibly pulled her into the show building, and now her arms are still hurting. She is so old in the Marquis of Changping, and it is the first time she has been treated like this, and she is also her own father! By this time, her heart was broken.

I put so much effort into it, and did everything possible to please my cousin, play with her, laugh with her, and cry with her...... is because my cousin values feelings, so that in order to keep his family alive, and for his status in the family is not lower than that of his brother...... I didn't expect that I had put so much effort into this family, and in the end, my status in the family was still far inferior to my brother who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it! They still do this to themselves! Think of yourself as a ready-to-sell commodity!

Is it because I'm a girl?

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she lay on the bed and cried loudly. I cried until my eyes were black and my mind was dizzy, and then I slowly stopped, sat up and thought slowly.

Father said that she was going to marry herself, she is not too worried at the moment, these things are still early, when her father's anger passes, how can there be no turnaround. She was now mainly worried about her father's and brother's bad idea. Tomorrow, once the newspaper is printed and the Metropolitan Procuratorate begins an investigation against Lord Xiang, then Lord Xiang will definitely fight back violently, and His Majesty will definitely stand firmly on Lord Xiang's side, and then his own family and Lord Xiang will both lose. Lord Xiang was splashed with dirty water, but he won further trust from His Majesty; But his own family, along with himself, will be disgusted by His Majesty. In that case, you will never be able to get ahead at home......

If my cousin asks, how do you explain it to her?

What's even more terrifying is that what if my cousin never wants to see her again?

And also...... What if Lord Xiang thinks that he is the mastermind and sees himself as a sinister and vicious woman?

She didn't think she liked Xiang Adult. I just admire, at most admire. Zheng Yuxuan knew very clearly that the reason why he felt good about Lord Xiang was mainly because of the two men in his family: his father and brother, who seemed to be too useless and too wretched. …… However, in the entire Ming upper class, such a capable and young man is just an adult. At least he is the only one who can be seen by himself.

The wooden staircase "knocked" sounded, Zheng Yuxuan wiped away his tears and looked at it, it was his most personal maid pavilion, panting and climbing up. Zheng Yuxuan stood up and looked at her.

Ting'er carried her skirt, ran over in a hurry, and said in a low voice:

"Miss, you ...... You don't want to marry the Ryukyu prince, do you? ”

Zheng Yuxuan was taken aback and asked:

"This thing...... How do you know? ”

Ting'er said urgently:

"Miss, Lord Hou has already contacted King Shang's Mansion, and now King Shang's Mansion has come, and King Shang has come in person......"

Zheng Yuxuan was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word. Ting'er continued:

"King Shang and Concubine Chen were talking to Hou Ye in the main hall, and Concubine Chen was so happy that she said that she had brought a few snacks for you to eat, and a few pieces of jewelry for you to wear...... Said I'm going to see you soon......"

The more Ting'er spoke, the more angry she became, almost crying:

"Miss...... The woman...... That Concubine Chen was afraid that the Hou Ye would regret it, so she tentatively said that according to their Ryukyu rules, the two sides would marry until they got married, and the girls would live in the man's house......"

Zheng Yuxuan hugged Ting'er's shoulders and said hurriedly:

"What did my dad say?"

Then, Hou Ye agreed! He also said that he would let you stay there tonight! Miss, what should I do? ”

Zheng Yuxuan's face was like ashes, and his whole body was cold, he never thought that his father would really do it and allow himself out that night...... Although she is not married, as long as she lives in Shang Wang's Mansion, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Shang family, and she can't regret it if she wants to! That Concubine Chen played this abacus, and the ghost knew if Ryukyu had this custom! How dare she open her mouth! …… My father didn't want to, just because he was angry, he gave his life to it!

Zheng Yuxuan was stunned, and she didn't sob, but the tears kept flowing down, converging on her chin, dripping down like beads with broken threads.

Ting'er looked at her like this, frightened, and shook her shoulder:

"Miss! Miss! You can cry if you want...... What should I do......"

Zheng Yuxuan's mind was blank, and there was only one terrifying scene...... I was crushed under the lewd man like a big smoker...... He spewed wine in his mouth, his face was full of obscenity, and his two big hands touched his body......

She was covered in goosebumps, and was immediately more disgusting than eating flies......

Just then, another maid climbed upstairs and said:

"Sister Ting'er, Master Hou asked the young lady to dress up and go to the front hall...... Miss? What's wrong with you? ”

Zheng Yuxuan shuddered, his mind woke up, his brain quickly turned twice, wiped his tears and ordered:

"I see...... You go down first, I'll wash my face and change my clothes......"

The maid went down. Ting'er was so anxious that she said softly:

"Miss, what should I do?"

Zheng Yuxuan's heart was horizontal, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"I can't be at their mercy! …… Pavilion, is there someone guarding it below? ”

……

Five minutes later, Zheng Yuxuan packed up all the jewelry in his room, as well as a few hundred Ming Yang cash, and took out all his property from the safe: check book, stocks, bonds, equity certificates, and real estate title deeds in his name......

She spread them out on the bed and asked Ting'er to pack a few changes of clothes for her and put them in a suitcase.

"I'm going out to hide for a while," Zheng Yuxuan said to Ting'er, "They treat me like this, I can't sit still...... Ting'er, you are obediently here......"

Ting'er was trembling with excitement, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said:

"Miss, won't you take me with you?"

Zheng Yuxuan thought about it and said:

"You show me the news at home, when my father's anger subsides, and he starts thinking about me, and he doesn't want me to marry, you ...... Well, you go to the "Jinling Business Daily" to post a dog search notice, and the dog's name is ...... It's called 'Xiaoqiang'...... I read it every day, and when I see your notice, I'll come back. …… Oh, this dollar, take it to advertise. ”

Ting'er nodded with a sad face and took the money.

Zheng Yuxuan quickly connected the sheets and a few pieces of clothes together, tied them to the window lattice, and then quietly climbed out of the back window, grabbed the sheets, glanced down, his heart was pounding, and he climbed down with his eyes closed.

Underneath it was dark was a pond. Xiulou resembles a water pavilion, with ponds on three sides and land on one side. Two guards were guarding the front doorway. If you want to escape, you can only go down from the pond.

Zheng Yuxuan had never done such a thing, and his heart was about to jump to his throat. She was afraid that the window lattice would not be strong, or the sheets and clothes would not be strong, that her arm strength would not be enough, that she would step on the air, and that she would be caught red-handed when she climbed the stairs.

The dignified Miss Marquis actually did such a thing, and it was a shame to be caught......

Finally, with all his strength, he didn't make any noise, and his feet stepped on the stone foundation on the first floor of the show building. The stone base is very narrow, and you can only step on half a foot, and a few centimeters below is the surface of the water. Zheng Yuxuan clutched the sheets and looked down at the dark water, already regretting his decision. But when I climbed up again, I had no strength.

At this point, there is no way back.

She gritted her teeth and slowly plunged one foot into the icy water.

The pond was not deep, and when she gritted her teeth and went down, the water only reached her chest.

Zheng Yuxuan was almost frozen and fainted, the cold and biting water surrounded his body, shivering for a while, and his feet were full of silt.

But when it comes to this, the only way to do it is to persevere. The pavilion whispered from above:

"Miss...... Miss...... Are you okay? ”

Zheng Yuxuan bit Tie Qing's lip, slowly took a few steps back in the water, raised his head and trembled:

"Alright, throw it down!"

"Miss, go on!"

Ting'er threw down the suitcase, although the second floor was not high and the box was not heavy, Zheng Yuxuan was almost knocked down. She clung to her suitcase, holding it above her head, and walked slowly in the water, trying not to make a sound of water.

The other side is less than ten meters, but it seems to be longer than ten kilometers. Walking to the deepest place, the water was already up to his neck, Zheng Yuxuan held the box in despair, praying that he would not drown, not freeze to death, and not let the water soak the box - it was all his possessions. In case his father doesn't recognize him, his life, happiness, and status for the rest of his life will be in this box.

The mud under his feet sank step by step, and his neck was surrounded by withered water lily leaves, and his chest and legs were also covered with aquatic plants and water lily stems. Just when she was about to freeze to death and lost her last strength, she threw herself on the stone embankment of Taihu Lake on the opposite bank.

Zheng Yuxuan used what little sanity he had to look around before coming out of the water to make sure that no one was nearby, and then climbed ashore like a dying man.

On the shore is a small stone path, behind the stone path is a bamboo forest, behind the bamboo forest is the wall of the garden, but also the wall of the Changping Marquis' Mansion. Zheng Yuxuan trembled and felt into the bamboo forest and came to a familiar place. There is a Taihu Lake stone here.

She stepped on the Taihu Lake stone, climbed up, her head sticking out of the wall, looking left and right, and there was no one in the alley. She threw the box down, then climbed over the wall with all her strength, grabbed the tiles on the wall, and slowly fell down, finally letting go and landing on both feet.

It worked!
