Chapter 10: Before the Escape

Four people in a room left at once, and only Old Man Zhan, Du Xiaomeng and Zhan Li were left in the house.

Old man Zhan held his cane and panted, Zhan Li hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down, Du Xiaomeng also quickly jumped off the bed and walked to him and asked nervously, "Father-in-law, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Old Man Zhan waved his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Old, old." I think that when the old man and I fought with the group of merchants, I could fight with them for a few rounds without blushing or panting, but now I have to breathe when I say such a few words, and the years are not forgiving. ”

"Where is my father-in-law old? Your style is not diminished back then! ”

Du Xiaomeng smiled and patted Old Man Zhan on the back, and looked at Old Man Zhan with admiration. Old man Zhan's acting skills are so good that he can be like any Academy Award actor, just now I saw him play the scene of "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse", it was so joyful that Qiu Sha was so suppressed that she had no power to parry, so that she almost couldn't help but applaud.

I have to say that the play played by Old Man Zhan today, intentionally or unintentionally, breathed a sigh of relief for Du Xiaomeng, who had recently been depressed by Qiu Sha, and made the little depression in her heart disappear, and her admiration for Old Man Zhan has now been raised to a higher level.

After Old Man Zhan's anger calmed down, Steward Yang, who escorted Qiusha back to Yafang Garden and locked up, also came back and replied: "Master, the matter has been done." ”

Old Man Zhan looked at Steward Yang and asked, "Ah Zhuo didn't have any other moves, right?" ”

Steward Yang replied, "Everything is as usual. ”

"That's good." Old Man Zhan asked Zhan Li to help him stand up, and then said to Du Xiaomeng in a low voice: "Clean up and act according to the original plan tonight." ”

Old Man Zhan looked at her, a look of worry flashed across his face, and then said, "Be careful, don't force it." ”

"Xiaomeng knows."

Du Xiaomeng nodded vigorously and unfolded a relaxed smile to Old Man Zhan as a comforter. Old Man Zhan patted her shoulder vigorously, then turned around and was helped away by Zhan Li and Steward Yang.

Du Xiaomeng looked around the empty room, then turned around and began to clean up. She rummaged through the cabinets and found a delicate small wooden box carved with flowers in the corner of a wooden box, and when she lifted the lid of the box, the jade pei, which symbolized the noble status of the hostess of the Rui Wang's Mansion, was lying in it safely. Seeing Yu Pei, Yu Tianzheng's figure flashed in Du Xiaomeng's mind, and at the same time, there was the sentence "I will wait for you". With a flick of his hand, the lid of the box snapped shut, once again locking Yu Pei into the darkness.

recalled Yu Tianzheng, although he knew that once something happened in the palace, as the legitimate heir to the throne, he would definitely bear the brunt of being eradicated, but Du Xiaomeng was not worried about him. The Yu Tianzheng she knows has the city and the means, and is a god-like character, in her subconscious, the person Yu Tianzheng will never be in danger easily, even if he is in danger, he will have a way to get out.

Alas, now I don't know what kind of wind and waves are waiting for me, what do you want others to do? Pack up everything you can use on the road and wait for the evening! Du Xiaomeng shook her head and carefully put the small wooden box on the dressing table; Then he took out the silver he had hidden, took out the silver phone from his bosom, opened it, and put all the silver in it. After putting the silver away, she closed the silver phone and was about to put it back in her arms, her hand involuntarily paused. Her gaze fell on her phone, and a strange emotion instantly spread out in her heart. I don't know, what's going on with him now? Is everything alright?

hand, subconsciously held the silver phone tightly, as if to hold something that even he didn't know, so that his heart was more stable.

The winter sky gets dark quickly.

Du Xiaomeng, who had nothing to do, would sit on the bed in a daze with the silver mobile phone in her hand, and she didn't get up to light the lamp on the table when it got dark. Time passed little by little, and no one came to disturb Du Xiaomeng, who was "sick and bedridden", and she was willing to let herself hide in the dark and think about all kinds of things.

It wasn't until Steward Yang brought dinner that Steward Yang lit the lights in the house.

According to the countermeasures discussed with Old Man Zhan before, after making an unprovoked poisoning and imprisoning Qiu Sha on a trumped-up charge, Old Man Zhan, who has always been in poor health, was also so angry that he fell down and wanted to rest in bed. The purpose of this arrangement is to make everyone have no chance to get together, so that the monitor Ah Zhuo has to spend more effort to monitor one by one, so that Du Xiaomeng's escape plan can alleviate some resistance.

Before eating, Du Xiaomeng took out a black box with a lock. Inside this box is the small carved wooden box with jade pei. She vaguely felt that she, an idler who had nothing to do with the General's Mansion, was left here, perhaps because of Yu Tianzheng's relationship. After having this idea, she was worried that in this extraordinary period, maybe one day the third prince would ask someone to come to the general's mansion on a whim to raid the house, and he would copy this piece of jade Pei together. If the third prince knew about the existence of this jade pei, it would definitely bring more unnecessary trouble to himself.

She thought about digging a pit to bury this jade pei herself, but after thinking about it, she still felt that it would be better to find a reliable person to help her keep it, there is such a thing as "accident" in this world, in case she has something long and two short after leaving the general's mansion, this important jade pei must be returned to Yu Tianzheng for herself. And at present, the most reliable person in the General's Mansion is only the hidden martial arts master Steward Yang when he thinks about it.

Du Xiaomeng carefully held her hands in front of Steward Yang, and said solemnly: "Steward Yang, this box contains something that cannot be seen by others, especially the people of the Third Prince." What is inside is very important and important, and it cannot be lost or fall into the hands of others. Could you please help me find a safe place to hide this box and return it to me when I get back?" ”

Steward Yang glanced at the box in Du Xiaomeng's hand, took it without asking anything, and said, "Yes." ”

Du Xiaomeng thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "If, if I go this time and can't come back, then trouble Steward Yang to hand over this box to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Don't worry, the old slave will be properly kept and returned in good condition when Miss Du returns." Steward Yang solemnly agreed, and smiled and comforted: "Miss Du, don't worry too much, this trip is just to pass the word for the master, as long as Miss Du acts carefully and hides immediately when she sees the situation is wrong, there should be no worries about her life." ”

Steward Yang glanced at the clothes on Du Xiaomeng's body, stood up straight and said, "Miss Du, you rest for a while after eating, and the old slave will come back later." In order to facilitate her movement, please make sure that Ms Du changes into simple, light-coloured clothing. ”

"Got it." Du Xiaomeng nodded and replied, but she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, running away at night, shouldn't she wear a black night suit? It's always been like this on TV. However, when Steward Yang pushed the door out, she saw the scene outside and suddenly realized.

Although it wasn't snowing outside, the heavy snow the day before covered all the scenery with a thick layer of white.

After Steward Yang left, Du Xiaomeng, who was in a nervous mood, ate dinner without knowing anything, changed his clothes, and sat by the lamp and waited. After sitting for a while, she felt that it was not appropriate to keep the light on all the time, so she blew out the light to create the illusion that the people in the house had gone to bed, and then sat in place in the dark, anxiously waiting for Steward Yang's arrival.
