Chapter V: Swapping Identities
Lin Xinru and Xiao Gongzi had no experience in elopement, so Du Xiaomeng, who made this suggestion, naturally became the planner and chief military advisor of their elopement plan.
On the other hand, in order to ensure the safety of the future general's wife, Master Lin installed several nursing homes near Lin Xinru's residence, plus the group of maids and mothers who served Lin Xinru, it was very difficult to easily escape from the Lin family and his lover to the avenue of happiness.
Du Xiaomeng couldn't think of a good way for a while, so she had to let Xiao Gongzi go home first to pack up his baggage and be on call at all times.
Although the small courtyard where Lin Xinru lives is very close to the back door, and you can get to the street outside by climbing over two walls, Lin Xinru has people around her almost all the time, and there is no gap for her to escape, so she has to adapt and see the opportunity.
The anxious few people have been patient, waiting, and waiting until the morning of Lin Xinru's marriage, and the opportunity finally came.
Early that morning, Lin Xinru changed into a wedding dress and asked a good wife to comb her hair and tie her hair, and then she had to cover her with a hippa and sit on the bed and wait for the auspicious time to come. The nursing home that usually guards nearby was transferred to the front hall to help, and the maid mothers who were waiting around Lin Xinru almost all had other tasks and had to do other things, and there were only three or two people left by Lin Xinru's side.
After Du Xiaomeng found an excuse to take the rest away, she ripped off the Xipa on Lin Xinru's head and said softly, "Miss, take off your wedding dress quickly." ”
Lin Xinru didn't react and asked, "Why?" ”
Du Xiaomeng said calmly: "I will change into your wedding dress, and you hide under the bed." When the bride goes out at the auspicious time, everyone will definitely go to the front hall to see the excitement, and then you will seize the opportunity to escape and meet Xiao Gongzi. ”
Lin Xinru was stunned, and after a moment, she reacted, and said excitedly with tears: "No, let's go together, I can't let Xiang'er you go to the General's Mansion for me to suffer!" ”
Du Xiaomeng held her down and said, "If we go together, no one will be able to walk." Miss, don't worry, since I can come up with this solution, I have absolute certainty to get out. ”
Lin Xinru was still a little hesitant, Du Xiaomeng didn't care about saying anything more, took off her wedding dress and put it on herself, and then urged her to change into a ring dress. After changing her outfit, Du Xiaomeng took out the pre-prepared baggage and stuffed it into Lin Xinru's arms. The baggage, except for two sets of clothes, was all valuable goods such as gold ornaments, silverware, jade, pearls, etc., that Du Xiaomeng had stolen from the dowry these days.
Du Xiaomeng grabbed Lin Xinru's hand, looked her eyes, and said with a serious expression: "Miss, remember, happiness is earned by yourself." The happiness you have to grasp for yourself can last a long time. ”
Lin Xinru opened her mouth to say something, but heard footsteps outside. Du Xiaomeng hurriedly hid her under the bed, and after saying "Miss take care", she quickly sat down on the bed and put the Xipa on her head.
No one found out that the bride had been transferred. It didn't take long for Xi Po to carry the bride on the sedan chair. As Du Xiaomeng expected, almost everyone ran to the front hall to see the excitement. The Lin Mansion was full of joy, and everyone who watched the excitement paid attention to the bride, and no one noticed that a little girl named Xiang'er was missing.
In this way, Du Xiaomeng got on the sedan chair for Lin Xinru. In order to give the young lady more time to run farther away with Xiao Gongzi, she was not in a hurry to run away at first, but when she wanted to get out, she couldn't find a chance, and was finally sent to the General's Mansion.
Du Xiaomeng, the substitute bride who was sent to the General's Mansion, although she was in a strange place and didn't know what would happen next, she had a very good psychological quality and was ready to accept any challenge.
The night in the General's Mansion was so quiet that even the sound of insects could not be heard.
Such a beautiful night has finally come to an end. Lingering in the gentle township, Zhan Qi finally remembered the bride who no one cared about again, and for some reason, he suddenly became interested in meeting the bride.
He gently removed Qiusha's head from his shoulder, got out of bed to change his clothes, and gently imprinted a kiss on Qiusha's forehead, who was sleeping soundly, before leaving the room and walking in the direction of the new room.
The bride was placed in the Cui Cui Garden, not very far from where Qiu Sha lived. Walking across the stone bridge in the garden that is built around the rockery and the pool, through a winding corridor, and then up a few stone steps, you can see the round stone arch engraved with two large emerald green characters "Jicui".
Zhan Qi walked to the new house and stretched out his hand to push the door, but he didn't expect the door to be blocked with something inside.
Without any consideration, Zhan Qi pushed a little harder, and the door was suddenly opened by him. The moment the door was pushed open, the top door fell to the ground with a "bang".
Striding into the new house, stepping over the remains of the pile of tables on the ground, and entering the inner room, the scene in front of him was greatly beyond Zhan Qi's expectations. Originally, he thought that he would see the bride huddled in the corner crying in the corner with both grievances and sadness, and then, when he lifted the hijab, he would see the mournful gaze cast by the bride. But, unfortunately, the scene he imagined did not appear at all.
