Chapter 537: A Chance Encounter in the Middle of the Night
The little guy smiled, and Huang Fuxue glared at Ping'an embarrassedly, "Stinky boy, you even laughed at your mother, you see if I can spank your ass." Huangfu Xue stepped forward, and Ping'an was so frightened that he grabbed An Mingchen's sleeve and shouted, "Daddy, run, my mother is here to fight for peace......"
An Mingchen cooperated with the dodge, and for a while the yard was full of their laughter, and when the magpie came in, he saw this scene, and saw that Miss finally smiled and was happy for Miss in his heart. Tired of playing, Ping'an nested in Huangfu Xue's arms and coquettish, "Mother, Ping'an came up with egg custard at night, the kind that I want my mother to feed." ”
"Don't you like your dad the most? Find your daddy. Huangfu Xue handed peace to An Mingchen, and when she saw the magpie coming over and said to him, she went to the magpie's side, "How is it, is everything done?" ”
"It's done." During the dinner in the evening, An Mingchen told him what happened in the palace today, and reminded him with a worried expression, "Concubine He was originally hostile to you, and today she is afraid that her hatred for you will be even deeper, do you want to ......?"
"No, I already have a plan." Huang Fuxue interrupted her, and seeing that An Mingchen disagreed, she explained, "You told me before that I should not provoke him, let alone deal with her, I have listened to you, but as a result, she not only tried every means to deal with me, but also wanted to use the second sister." The matter of the second sister can't be left like this, I must ask for justice for him to come back. As for Concubine He's calculations for me, I naturally won't do that. ”
"Do you want to find Helan Zhen?" An Mingchen wasn't much surprised this time, "Now we only know that Helan Zhen is from Nanyue, where he lives, and he doesn't know what to do next, so don't act rashly." Huang Fuxue knew that she was worried about herself, so she nodded, "Don't worry, I know the severity, now the matter of Concubine He is the top priority, as for Helan Zhen's matter, I will find an opportunity." Anyway, I won't act rashly until she makes a move. ”
"That's good." An Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you are already absolute, I won't say anything." Remember to ask the magpie tune to come to me immediately if there's anything. ”
"Okay." As the night grew darker, Zhong'an in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the capital seemed to be curled up in a corner, ragged and embarrassed. The cold wind was howling outside the door, and from time to time I could hear the sound of birds and the low roar of unknown things, and An Wanru's body trembled every time he called. At this time, the maid walked in staring at her dirty face, holding a black thing in her hand, and ran forward happily, "Second Miss, you see what the slave maid found, it is a roasted sweet potato." The slave and maid have wiped it clean, so you can eat it while it is hot. ”
"I don't eat it. I'm the second lady of the An family, how can I eat such a cheap thing. Ann was like a handful of sweet potatoes still on the ground. Stretched out his hand and grabbed the maid, "Where did you go just now, why didn't you come back for so long, you want to kill me, right, did my sister-in-law let you do this, did she also arrange those bandits." Why is she so vicious, I just didn't mean it, but she actually wanted my life......"
An Wanru was afraid for a while when she thought of what happened in the evening, she really didn't want to go back to her hometown, so she made all kinds of excuses along the way, and she didn't go far for a few days. She thought, in a few days, if there is no news from her mother's side, she will return to the capital as if she was robbed by bandits, who knows that she will really encounter bandits not long after this year...... She was almost gone......
Everyone died, only he and the personal maid escaped, the two don't know how long they escaped to find such a broken temple, ran for most of the night, she was tired and hungry, so let the maid go out to find food, but the girl left for an hour, she was timid, the broken temple and infiltrated, she was scared a lot. finally waited for the maid to come back, and she sent all her anger to the maid.
The maid didn't dare to refute and bowed her head to bear it. When An Wanru had enough, the maid picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground and said, "Miss, let's eat some." There is really nothing to eat in the nearby barren mountains and mountains, and it is still the slave maid who finally found it and roasted it. An Wanru was still disgusted, and touching her dry stomach did not resist the temptation, "How much silver do we have left?" Is it enough for us to go back to Beijing? ”
It takes a day and a night to make a carriage from the capital, and if you walk, you can only get there in three or five days. Their belongings were all robbed by the bandits, and now there are only two taels of silver on the maid's body. Such a little silver is not enough to eat, where can I have money to buy a carriage and stay. The maid trembled and told the truth, and An Wan scolded the maid again, "Why did Miss Ben find such a fool as you." You can't do such a trivial thing, you wait, Miss Ben will definitely sell you after returning to Beijing this time......"
"Miss, don't ......" The maid knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, "Miss, the slave begs you." Don't sell your slaves. The slave and maid have lived in the Huangfu's house since childhood, and the slave and maid do not want to leave the Huangfu's house, and the slave and maid must change in the future, begging the young lady not to sell the slave maid. ”
"What are you crying about, do you want to be angry with Miss Ben?" An Wan glared at the maid with disgust, and after eating the sweet potato, she found a place to sit down, "If you can solve this problem, Miss Ben won't sell you, but if you can't let Miss Ben return to Beijing safely......"
"Miss An, why are you here?" A familiar voice came, and An Wanru thought for a moment that she was hallucinating. How could he be here, isn't he in the capital? In addition, he didn't pay attention to her when she talked to him with a dead face, but now he happened to pass by or came to look for him...... An Wanru stared at He Lanzhen and almost couldn't hold back before asking this sentence.
Helan Zhen is still personable, with neat clothes and hair. Looking at An Wanru again, if the two don't know each other, they still think An Wanru is a beggar who ran out of a beggar's nest. An Wanru glanced down at her clothes, hurriedly squatted down, held the beggar in both hands, and said with a dodgy look, "How could Prince Helan come here." I...... I'm dirty, so Helan Gongzi should go somewhere else to rest. ”
"Miss An, what's going on?" He Lanzhen stepped forward worriedly, there was still concern and worry in her eyes, An Wanru thought she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes and looked at it again to confirm that it was true, "You...... Do you care about me? ”
"Miss An was very righteous to Zai Xia, and she helped Zai Xia a lot, and now Miss An is in trouble, and she should care about one or two in Xia, of course, if Miss An is willing, she can also help in Xia." Helan Zhen smiled at An Wanru, An Wanru was originally happy, but when she thought of what her sister-in-law said a few days ago, her face changed instantly, he was lying to him and using her by doing so. Yes before, who can guarantee that it is not? She can't be deceived anymore, she needs to be sober.
"More kindness from Prince Helan, but I really don't need it, the girl and I will go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning." When she returns to Beijing, her eldest brother will definitely help her get justice. An Wanru thought that An Mingchen was in a better mood. Helan Zhen used to coax An Wanru like this, and he succeeded every time. originally thought that this time would be the same, but who knew that An Wanru actually rejected her today, did she find something?
A touch of coldness flashed in Helan Zhen's eyes, and he raised his head again and returned to the look just now, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave now." When he got up, he suddenly thought of something, and kindly reminded, "By the way, Miss An, I heard that bandits have been very rampant in this neighborhood recently, you and your maid should be more careful, if you run into ......"
If a woman encounters a bandit, the result can be imagined. An Wan's face changed in an instant. She had just escaped from the wolf's den, and she didn't want to experience that scene again in her life, An stood up like a rub, but she thought again, Helan Zhen is not a good thing, if she let her sister-in-law know that there is still a connection between them, wouldn't she be kicked out of the house. In distress, Jian An seems to feel that his life is the most important, if he loses his life, everything will be nonsense in the future.
"Prince Helan, look at my current appearance, if I go back like this, my family will definitely be worried. It is also my fate to be able to meet Prince Helan here, and now that Prince Helan has warmly invited, then I might as well be respectful. An Wan glanced at the maid, and the maid hurriedly packed up her things and left with them.
That night, several people stayed in a nearby town, An Wanru didn't dare to sleep for fear of another accident, and worried that He Lanzhen had ulterior motives, so she hurriedly wrote a letter for the maid to find someone to send it. I was relieved to do that. After washing, I hastily fell asleep and woke up again at noon. An Wanru hurriedly went downstairs and asked when she saw Helan Zhen. "Didn't Prince Helan say that he was going back to Beijing today? It's ...... noon now."
"I called Miss An this morning, but Miss An slept too soundly to hear it, and I didn't worry about it when I thought about it, and it didn't hurt to leave later. Now that Miss An is awake, let's have lunch and hurry. What He Lanzhen said was reasonable, An Wanru couldn't find a rebuttal, and finally could only follow her intention to go to the first floor.
An Wanru is like this side of the matter, Huangfu Xue and a few people don't know, at this time Huangfu Xue disguised herself as a man and went to the Qinglou again, the old bustard received it in person, and Huangfu Xue was rich and generous and directly rewarded the old bustard with a certain amount of silver. The bustard's happy eyes narrowed together. "Childe is really generous, girls hurry up and let Childe take a look. This boy is very generous, if any of you can be looked down upon, you will be lucky today. ”
As soon as the girls heard this, they came to the hall one after another, and in a short time there were more than twenty girls standing in the hall. The old bustard looked at his own girl and stepped forward with honor, "Childe, look, these are the most beautiful girls in our building, who does Childe like, just tell my mother, this guarantee will make Childe satisfied." ”
"Just these postures, my mother still wants to satisfy my son?" Huangfu Xue glanced at everyone and pouted with disgust. "If you only have these postures in the building, I'm afraid my son will go to the wrong place today." After finishing speaking, he wanted to take back the money, and the bustard was naturally reluctant, "Don't worry, son, who said that this is all the girls, you wait, there are still beautiful women in our building." ”
