Chapter 5: Out of the cage
"Hurry up, pass the ball!!!" I shouted excitedly over a patch of grass dressed in men's clothes. I waved vigorously at a group of housekeepers, who gasped and tried to kick the ball and run towards me. I can't help but be a little annoyed when I look so weak, and the thing I hate the most is weak and powerless men. It's just that after playing for a while, they are already sweating profusely and panting constantly, if it weren't for the fear that I will be angry, I see that they would have already thrown the ball down and laid down on the lawn to rest!
The last overboard incident made the entire Prince's Mansion jump, so I didn't dare to play anything anymore, so I had to learn from the ancients to kick and bow.
"Don't play!" I shouted to the boys as I dropped the ball in frustration. They immediately happily took the ball and retreated. I pouted and looked at them disapprovingly.
"Miss, wipe it quickly. Ling'er, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately handed me a silk scarf and helped me wipe my sweat. "Miss, that's amazing! You can beat so many people!" Ling'er praised me happily.
I smirked at her and prepared to go back to my room to wash myself. I walked in the direction of the room and saw two men in the distance pushing a cart of rancid water, struggling to the back door. I stood and watched them, and the guard at the back door didn't check their identities, just covered my nose in disgust and hurriedly waved them to hurry up.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Ling'er asked me a little strangely when she saw that I wasn't leaving.
"Nope. I shook my head, "Ling'er, when do they usually come to deal with the rancid water?" I asked, pointing to the two men.
"Oh, they usually come to the house from time to time. Ling'er explained carefully for me. "Miss, what's the use of that, you ask?"
"No, no, no. I hurriedly shook my head, "Let's go." He hurriedly pulled the bell and left. I hooked the corners of my mouth and smiled maliciously.
Hehe, how could I possibly tell you that this girl is now making important plans for my future life! I want to use this to escape from this cage-like prince's mansion and lock me up for so long! And that husband, I have never even seen his face, if I can't wait for him, won't I waste my beautiful life here until I am old!
After taking a shower, I dismissed everyone. As soon as they left, I quickly searched the house, both in ancient times and in modern times, money is very important! I will leave here tomorrow, I don't have any money, how can I mix outside! I opened my dresser.
Oh my God! I couldn't help but be stunned, and now I know how rich this Lin Xuerou is, with the glittering hairpins in the cabinet, as well as all kinds of valuable gold jewelry and jade bracelets. I didn't have time to sigh, so I quickly grabbed all the valuable jewelry and some clothes in the cabinet and hurriedly packed them.
"Buckle the button!!" there was a knock on the door, and I hurriedly stuffed my burden into the quilt. "Come in. I said calmly as I sat on the edge of the bed.
"Miss. Ling'er pushed the door and came in with some food, "You don't seem to have eaten anything today, the slave has specially prepared the food you like to eat." He happily put it down on the table. Ling'er is the best person I have been to since I came here, caring for me and thinking about me in everything. If I suddenly find out that I am missing tomorrow night, I will definitely cry in a hurry. Looking at her innocent smile and her incessant words of concern, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Ling'er, I'm going to escape from the prince's mansion tomorrow, you..." I decided to tell her the truth, I didn't want her to worry or be sad about me in the future, at least she was so good to me!
"What?!" Ling'er shouted in shock, interrupting me, "Miss, how can this be, it's so dangerous outside!"
His reaction was expected by me, and I covered his chattering mouth and said solemnly, "In a word, are you going or not?"
Ling'er looked at me in embarrassment and thought for a long time, "I'll go, I have to protect Miss!" she patted her chest and said with a serious face.
"Fool!" I smiled and patted her on the head, and I still used her to protect me, and my judo skills were invincible!
"Well, you go find two shabby men's clothes. I commanded, and she didn't protest this time, and left obediently. I'm jumping around with joy, I can finally go and see what the Plantagenet looks like!!
The next afternoon
Ling'er and I wore men's clothes and sneaked to the kitchen, and sure enough, we saw the two people pouring rancid water in the kitchen.
"Who are you? I don't think I've seen you?" the two men saw us, and saw that our clothes were not so generous, so they were not so polite to us.
"It doesn't matter who we are. I said to them coldly, and took out a jade bracelet from my baggage, "In exchange, just let us work for you, and then return these things to you outside the house, so that I will give you this bracelet." How?"
"Yes, yes!" the two men immediately nodded happily, politely to us. Also, who doesn't like such a good errand? They reached out and took the bracelet from my hand, laughing and touching it. Disgusted by their greed, I called the bell, ignored them, and pushed the cart slowly.
I lowered my head, endured the smell of rancid water, and nervously pushed the cart past the back door. As usual, the guards didn't see anything unusual, just covered their mouths and angrily urged them to go.
My heart was beating rapidly, and I gasped, clenched the handrails, ignored the guards, and kept heading outside. Finally, after walking for a long time, I dared to secretly raise my head with Ling'er. I looked around, and it was already far from the Prince's Palace.
"Whew!" I exhaled heavily, and my long-hanging heart was not let go until now. Ling'er and I looked at each other and smiled, and put down the armrest. I shouted happily, "I'm finally out of the cage!!"
