Chapter 136: Escape
Chapter 136: Escaping the Song Clan is now at the end of the road, so Lin Yingxue is a little curious about what the Song Clan wants to do when she looks for her.
"Miss Five, Mrs. said that she only wanted to see Miss Five alone." Lin Yingxue came with Leng Yue, and when she walked to the door, she was stopped by Chunbai, who led the way.
Hearing this, Lin Yingxue thought about it, and after signaling Leng Yue to wait for her at the door, she stepped forward and knocked on the door by herself, and it was Song Ziqian who opened the door, and she still didn't have a good face when she saw her as usual. Lin Yingxue was also used to this, and she still stepped into the door with a calm face.
"Madame and Miss Fifth will need to talk for a while, you can come with me to the pantry and sit for a while." Although the Song clan lost power, the high-spirited momentum on Chunbai's body could not be changed at once.
Leng Yue didn't speak, and after Lin Yingxue's figure completely disappeared from her sight, she withdrew her gaze and glanced at Chunbai lightly.
At the moment when Leng Yue's eyes swept over, Chunbai only felt a chill 'whoosh' rise from the bottom of her heart, it felt like someone had a knife on her neck, but fortunately, such a palpitating feeling only appeared for a short moment...... Chunbai patted his 'bang' beating heart, and didn't dare to say anything more, just staring at Leng Yue cautiously while retreating a little farther away.
And Leng Yue stood at the door for a while, and after seeing that there was no big movement inside, she took a few steps back, and jumped onto a big tree in the Song family's yard.
As for Lin Yingxue, who entered the house, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Where's the second lady?" She cautiously glanced around the room, everything was as usual, everything was neatly arranged, and she didn't feel that there was anyone outside.
Could it be that she is too sensitive? Lin Yingxue was thinking about it, and Song Ziyan, who was standing behind her, opened her mouth coldly: "Madame is waiting for you inside." β
Song Ziqi's voice was very calm, but it was this calm that seemed to be mixed with some uncomfortable feelings. Lin Yingxue frowned slightly, and while secretly guarding against the people behind her, she took a step towards the back room.
The inner room is separated from the outer room by a curtain, because of the curtain, the things in the inner room are full of shadows, so that people can't see clearly, and you can only vaguely see that the ground seems to be a mess - the teapot that has fallen all over the ground is lying on the floor tiles, and there are some dark marks around the teapot, and I don't know if it is the traces left after the tea has dried up, or something else.
Seeing that Song Ziqi, who was following behind, had no intention of coming forward to open the curtain, Lin Yingxue had no choice but to pick up the curtain by herself. She originally thought that there would be some trap waiting for her behind the curtain, so that she secretly tightened her mind, but the expected danger did not hit, but it was precisely because her full expectation fell short that the picture in front of her caused a huge impact and gap to her.
That is, at the moment when she was shocked, a sudden pain came from the back of her neck, "Oh no......" At the last moment of her coma, Lin Yingxue only had time to pop out these two words in her mind.
Luckily, there were no surprises. Song Ziqian caught Lin Yingxue's soft falling body, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
She dragged Lin Yingxue's body to Song's side, whose body had already begun to stiffen, and pulled out the dagger inserted in Song's body and stuffed it into Lin Yingxue's hand. Lin Yingxue's plain white dress was stained red by the blood that had not yet dried up, coupled with the dagger she was holding in her hand, if someone came in at this time, she would definitely think that Lin Yingxue had killed the Song family.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Song Ziqian couldn't help but smile on his faceβit was because of the uncontrollable smile that rose from the bottom of his heart when his long-running plan was finally realized.
Now that everything is ready, as long as she goes outside to bring people in, then she can not only take the opportunity to get rid of Lin Yingxue, but also pick herself up! Just thinking like this, Song Ziqian couldn't help but want to laugh a few times, but the remaining reason in her heart taught her to endure this thought.
After taking a deep breath to calm down his mood, a panicked look quickly appeared on Song Ziyan's face, "Someone, you've killed someone!" Killed! She screamed while messing up the things in the house, and she was not afraid that such a movement would wake Lin Yingxue up, because as long as one person came to see the scene in front of her, Lin Yingxue would not be able to wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Just when Song Ziqian screamed for the first time, Chunbai and Leng Yue outside the door heard the movement for the first time, although Chunbai was closer to Song's room, but Leng Yue kicked the door one step ahead of her and rushed in.
"What's wrong? What happened? Leng Yue found Song and Lin Yingxue who had fallen to the ground almost immediately after rushing into the house, and Chunbai, who was two steps behind her, was knocked unconscious by Leng Yue's knife before she could figure out what was going on in the house.
Song Ziqian didn't expect Leng Yue to be so crisp and decisive, now Chunbai has fainted, if Leng Yue is ruthless and solves her and Chunbai together, then not only will the game she painstakingly set up tonight be in vain, but even her own life is likely to be involved.
Seeing that Leng Yue's cold gaze had fallen on her, Song Ziqi's heart jumped, and while carefully retreating in the direction of the window, he hurriedly said: "Someone else is coming over soon, you still have to think about how to help your master clear his guilt!" β
After finishing speaking, Song Ziqian jumped out of the window without hesitation. Leng Yue took half a step forward, originally planning to chase out, but after hesitating for a while, she still wanted to turn around and wake up Lin Yingxue.
After Song Ziqian came out of Song's room, she didn't dare to stop and ran towards the outside of the mansion - from the moment Leng Yue knocked Chunbai unconscious, she knew that she had lost, and if she waited for Lin Yingxue to wake up, she might not be able to escape.
At this moment, Song Ziqian only hated why she couldn't run faster and faster, and she even thought that it would be good if she killed Lin Yingxue with one sword, so that the Song family's revenge would be avenged, but in this way, she would inevitably die, and she didn't want to die yet! She wants to live, and live better!
After running out of the gate of the Lin family in one breath, Song Ziqian still didn't dare to stay, but she raised her eyes and looked around, in this imperial city, where else could she go except the Lin family?
didn't give herself too much time to think, Song Ziqian chose a direction at random and ran away with her skirt, and at the moment of leaving, she seemed to vaguely hear a commotion in the mansion behind her, and she didn't know if it was because she found out that the Song family was dead, or the Lin family had sent someone out to chase her.
It was already late at night, and the imperial city, which was extremely prosperous and lively during the day, looked a little desolate at night, the closed doors and flying signboard flags were like black holes that would eat people and monsters beckoning to her, Song Ziqian turned her head to look around in panic, only to feel that a demon would pop up at any time to drag her into hell.
"Quick, go over there!" Soon there were mixed footsteps and human voices behind him, and Song Ziqian was even more flustered in his heart, and he fell to the ground because of the instability under his feet.
And the place where she was at this time happened to be an avenue, and if someone caught up behind her at this time, she would definitely be found.
Is that all she has to say for today? Just as a wave of despair began to rise in Song Ziqi's heart, a carriage suddenly drove in the direction of her in the distance. The carriage did not go fast, swaying leisurely, and in the hour of the curfew that was already approaching, the carriage looked particularly leisurely.
The moment Song Ziqian saw this carriage, it was as if he saw the hope of rebirth, and rushed towards the carriage without thinking about it.
"Phew, what's the matter with you?!" The coachman who was driving the carriage did not expect someone to rush up suddenly, and in a hurry, he finally stopped the carriage.
Song Ziqian looked behind him and didn't have time to explain, but stood up and got into the carriage while the driver was not paying attention.
"Eh, what's the matter with you?" The coachman was suddenly anxious, and he stretched out his hand to catch Song Ziqian out, but at this time, the person who was originally sitting in the carriage said: "Continue to catch the car." The man who spoke was a man, and his voice was so low that he could not hear joy or anger.
When the coachman heard this, he continued to respectfully pick up the carriage without saying a word, and then the carriage passed by the Lin family's subordinates - those who came out to search did not notice this low-key carriage.
After seeing the Lin family's descendants go away through the small window on the carriage, Song Ziqi, who was squeezed into the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to look at the man sitting in the carriage - the man sitting next to her at this time looked to be around thirty years old, wearing an ordinary dark cyan robe, except for a folding fan casually inserted into his waist, there was no extra decoration on his body.
But Song Ziqian has been in the Lin family for so long, she has seen countless dignitaries and nobles, and her vision is not much higher than when she was in the Song family.
"Thank you Childe for saving your life." She is now a lost dog, so she naturally put away all the remaining arrogance on her body, and respectfully thanked the person in front of her.
"Not necessarily." The man didn't look at Song Ziqian beside him from beginning to end, and there was no fluctuation in his tone when he spoke: "There is an inn in front, and the girl is right there." β
Song Ziqi's restless heart was originally calmed down with great difficulty, but at this time, hearing what the person in front of her said, she suddenly made a mistake again - except for the Song family, she had no relatives in the imperial city, even if she escaped tonight, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, where should she go? Also, she left in a hurry when she came out, and she didn't have time to clean up at all, even if the jewelry on her body could be exchanged for some silver, but how many days would this last?
Just as Song Ziqian was distracted, the carriage had also slowly stopped, "Get off." The man's voice was as indifferent as his expression.
Song Ziqian bit her lower lip, if she was not disfigured, she might be able to use her beauty to confuse the people around her, but now she has nothing, and she doesn't even have the most basic bargaining chips to negotiate conditions, what right does she have to let the people in front of her help her?
After pondering for a long time, Song Ziqian finally abandoned all his remaining dignity and knelt down in this small carriage: "To tell the truth, the slave and maid are the maids who ran out of the big family, and they have no relatives in the imperial city, and if they are caught, they will definitely die, so the slave and the maid ask the son to accept the slave and maid, whether it is on the knife mountain or under the sea of fire, as long as the son says a word, the slave and the maid will not hesitate." β
