"Ma'am, I have a solution." Seeing Xu's frowning, Xianglan approached Xu's and whispered to her.

"Oh?" Xu Shi was a little strange and asked, "What can you do?" ”

Xianglan whispered in Xu's ear.

Xu Shi was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't react for a while. He said hesitantly: "Xianglan." It's too risky. And, are you sure she'll help us? ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Xianglan said.

Xu hesitated, lowered his head and pondered for a long time before saying, "I'll consider taking a look." ”

"There's no time to think about it." Xianglan was anxious and said, "Does Madame want to stay in this place all the time?" ”

"But if we get out of here, where will we go?" Xu said.

"It's better to go anywhere than to stay here, isn't it?" Xianglan said.

Xu frowned, thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "I really don't want to stay in this place for a moment." Forget it, since you have this idea, you might as well give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse now. ”

With Xu's permission, Xianglan was overjoyed, and she said to Xu: "Madame, don't worry, Xianglan will definitely act cautiously." ”

Zhi Niang returned to the room for several days, but she couldn't lift her spirits.

Listening to the little guy who left the house today, there are a lot of heavy soldiers on the streets of Jingzhou City. Now the whole city is like an iron bucket, and not even a bird can fly out.

"Alas......"

"What are you sighing for, lady!" Xiangyun stood aside, poured a cup of tea for Zhi Niang, and saw that Zhi Niang had been frowning and in good spirits for the past few days, so she couldn't help but ask with concern.

Zhi Niang glanced at her and said, "What else can it be?" Xiangyun, why do you think we came here from Yunzhou? What's so good about this Jingzhou? ”

"Is this good or bad, does the lady have any other choice?" Xiangyun pursed her lips and smiled, walked behind Zhi Niang, and reached out to press Zhi Niang's shoulder.

Zhi Niang glanced at Xiangyun and said, "Don't you miss your relatives in Yunzhou?" If you want me to say Xiangyun, we used to be much freer in Yunzhou than we are now. Now in this mansion, every day is like going to prison, not to mention how panicked I am. ”

"What, the lady regrets it now?" Xiangyun said with a smile.

Zhi Niang pursed her lips and did not speak. Regret, what does she have to regret. She had no father or mother, and she was sold to Tianxiang Pavilion since she was a child. I met Xiangyun there. Later, she became an Oiran and was taken by a wealthy merchant in Yunzhou and ransomed her. But the good times didn't last long, the rich businessman couldn't do business, and was on the verge of bankruptcy, in order to curry favor with Wei Guogong, the newly appointed town guard general in Yunzhou, the rich businessman gave her to Wei Guogong again.

At that time, Wei Guogong also had a good time with her. But the men in the world still can't change the common disease of liking the new and hating the old, and with the increase in concubines, Wei Guogong soon left her behind. But it is better to serve one man than to thousands of men. Zhi Niang never wanted to go back to Tianxiang Pavilion again. So he could only accept his fate and follow Wei Guogong.

Xiangyun is a roundworm in Zhi Niang's stomach. Seeing that Zhiniang didn't speak, she also guessed what she was thinking. Although they are both Qinglou sisters, Xiangyun has an ordinary appearance, and she has been following her since she met Zhiniang. Zhiniang is also a real person, she did not abandon her, but took her with her all the time.

"There's nothing to regret about it. It's just Xiangyun, I think the two of us are living well now. Zhi Niang said.

When Xiangyun heard Zhi Niang say this, she quickly shook her head and said to her, "My lady, you must not think like that." Which woman who lives in a deep house compound doesn't live with the favor of a man? You have to cheer up, or it will be a difficult time in the future! ”

Recently, Zhiniang has been listless and has lost her fighting spirit, and Xiangyun is also in her eyes. The master of her family has no status in the eyes of Wei Guogong now, and if she is depressed any longer, she will really become someone else's meat.

After all, all the concubines in the house are not fuel-efficient lamps.

"Alas......" Hearing Xiangyun say this, Zhiniang became even more depressed.

Seeing that Zhiniang was depressed, Xiangyun opened her mouth and wanted to persuade again, but suddenly heard someone knocking on the window.

"Bang bang bang!" "Bang bang bang!"

It's not loud, but it's loud enough for everyone in the house to hear.

"Who?" Zhi Niang frowned, looked at the door, the door of the room was open, why didn't you enter through the door if there was something, why did you knock on the window?

"Lady, I'll go out and have a look." Xiangyun said, turning around and walking out the door.

Zhiniang waited in the house for a while, and Xiangyun came back from outside. Holding a letter in his hand.

"Lady, this is something that someone put on the edge of the window." Xiangyun raised the letter in her hand and said to Zhi Niang.

"Letter?" Zhi Niang was strange, and saw Xiangyun handing her the letter, so she asked, "Is this for me?" ”

"Lady, take it apart and take a look." Xiangyun said with a smile.

The courtyard where they live is the most remote place in the Wei Mansion, and even the maids and mothers-in-law rarely come over on weekdays. Zhi Niang has no relatives, who will write to her?

With questions, Zhi Niang opened the letter. I saw that there were few numbers written on it, and there was no signature at the end of the letter.

"Lady, what did the letter say?" Xiangyun asked curiously.

Zhi Niang frowned and said, "This person who wrote the letter said that she would come to me tonight and have something important to discuss with me. ”

"Huh?" Xiangyun was very strange and said, "Who is it?" What do you want to discuss with the lady? ”

"I don't know, there is no signature on the letter." Zhi Niang said.

Xiangyun frowned and said to Zhi Niang, "Lady, should we tell Grandpa Guo?" ”

Zhi Niang shook her head, raised her hand to fold the letter in half, motioned for Xiangyun to light the candle, put the letter on the candle, and watched the letter be swallowed up by the flames little by little.

"Don't. The man was supposed to know us. She said she just wanted to work with us. If I succeed, I will get what I want. Zhi Niang burned the letter to ashes and said.

"Cooperation?" Xiangyun was puzzled. However, the master and servant did not have much to do on weekdays, so they stayed in the room until the evening.

Not long after dark, Zhiniang had just finished dinner when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhi Niang gave Xiangyun a look. Xiangyun immediately extinguished an oil lamp, then cautiously walked to the door and opened the door.

"You ......"

Someone walked in, and Xiangyun stood at the door, surprised when she saw the person who came in.

The person who came was wearing a black cloak, and the lights in the room were dim, but Xiangyun could still see her face clearly, this person was actually Xianglan!

"Is that you?"

Zhi Niang frowned. Xianglan is familiar to her. After all, Xu is the only one by his side now, and she has been waiting closely.

"It's me." Xianglan took off the hat from her cloak. came to Zhiniang.

"Miss Xianglan." Zhi Niang nodded at Xianglan and said, "You wrote the letter to me?" ”

Xianglan nodded.

"It's amazing." Zhi Niang was very surprised, pursed her lips, and said, "You ignore me on weekdays, why do you suddenly want to talk about any cooperation with me?" ”

"Not suddenly." Xianglan corrected and said to Zhi Niang: "I'm serious, not joking with you. ”

"Oh?" Zhi Niang raised an eyebrow. Motioned for Xianglan to continue.

Xianglan took a deep breath and said, "I know what you concubines are thinking. Didn't you always want fame? Do us a favor and give you whatever you want. ”

"What's the busy?" Zhiniang asked in surprise.

Xianglan approached Zhiniang and whispered in a low voice.

"You say, you want me to help you escape?" Zhi Niang said.

Xianglan nodded.

"Why?" Zhiniang asked, "Isn't it good to stay in the house?" ”

"Do you think it's okay to be here?" Xianglan sneered and asked rhetorically.

Zhi Niang shook her head and said, "There is a grandfather in this mansion who is in charge. I am a concubine, he doesn't let people go, how can I have the ability to go through the sky? Besides, why me? Why don't you go to someone else? ”

"There's no better person than you." Xianglan said.

Seeing that Zhiniang didn't speak, Xianglan was a little anxious, but her face was still cold: "Do you help or not?" You can rest assured, Mrs. and Grandpa Guo have been married for several years, and Mrs. Guo knows what kind of temperament and handle Grandpa Guo has. As long as you do Mrs. this favor, Mrs. has her own way to let Grandpa Guo give you a name. ”

"What are you anxious about, can't you give me time to think about it? It's not easy for you to want to get out, I'll have to think about it and plan it, right? Zhi Niang said leisurely.

Hearing Zhi Niang speak, Xiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but her voice was still cold: "You also know that Madam is sick like this, and time is running out." Now Madame's greatest wish is to take Brother Hao out of the house to live a clean life. Do you think about it, for how long? We don't have time to wait for you! ”

"I said Miss Xianglan, now you are asking us for help, and you are still so fierce, is it appropriate?" Xiangyun on the side kept standing and couldn't help but speak.

"Xiangyun." Zhi Niang winked at Xiangyun and motioned her to shut up. Then he said to Xianglan: "I really sympathize with Madame's situation, but it is not easy to escape. We're all a woman, this doorkeeper, how do you ask me to help? ”

Hearing Zhi Niang say this, Xianglan was immediately very disappointed.

"That being the case, then it bother." Xianglan nodded at Zhi Niang, turned around and wanted to leave.

Before she could take a step, Xianglan suddenly heard Zhiniang's voice coming from behind: "Miss Xianglan, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't help, there is a way, but there are some adventures, I don't know if you and your wife are willing to give it a try. ”

Xianglan was overjoyed in her heart, but she still pretended not to change her face, she turned around again, looked at Zhi Niang, and said, "What is the method, you talk about it first." ”

"Fake your death." Zhi Niang's expression was solemn, "I think about it, only this method can be done." ”

"What, fake death?"

Xianglan returned to the room and told Xu Shi about the plan. Xu Shi listened to it and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Ma'am. There is no time left. Since she's willing to help us, why don't we give it a try? Xianglan said.
