Chapter Ninety-Three: Where Did She Go?
Chapter Ninety-Three: Where Did She Go?
I don't know how long it took for Chunying to wake up from the coma, but she felt that she couldn't move, and when she struggled, her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and she wanted to make a sound, but she also stuffed a cloth in her mouth. She broke out in a cold sweat and looked around with wide eyes, wondering what was wrong.
It was a small room, with only a small one-foot square window above one wall, and the dim light shone in through the window, and it was probably evening. She was crooked in a pile of burlap bags in the corner, with a faint smell of flour around her, and across from her was a door, tightly locked.
Chun Ying shook her head, which was still a little dazed, and looked around uneasily. Where is she?! She was obviously looking for a book in the hut, Zhou Nian and the third young master were in the neighboring house, and Sanqing was also outside the house, how could she be tied up in such a place?! She struggled desperately a few times, but the ropes tied around her wrists were very tight, and she only felt that her skin was about to wear out, and she could not break free. After thinking about it, he bent his knees and tried to remove the cloth from his mouth, and then bit the hemp rope on his hand with his teeth.
There was a sound of unlocking outside the door, she stopped suddenly, only to hear a squeak on the door, and walked in a strange young man, about twenty years old, wearing a simple and generous blue silk straight jacket, a blue satin ** hat on his head, white socks and soap boots, his appearance was still upright, with a slight smile on his face, he glanced at Chunying: "Awake?" Glancing at her knees, "Don't struggle, you can't escape." β
Chun Ying struggled suddenly, wanting to question who he was, but saw him walk up to him and squat, and said lightly: "Don't blame me, I also acted on orders, the master spoke, don't think about resisting, be obedient as soon as possible, it's good for everyone." β
Chunying stopped moving, her eyes wide open. The earth glared at him, and he smiled: "What are you staring at me for?" It's only to blame yourself for seeing things you shouldn't be seeing, and letting others know. Seeing that Chunying's eyes showed fear, she began to struggle again, and hurriedly restrained her: "Okay!" I'm not trying to kill you, what are you afraid of?! β
Chunying was stunned, what does this mean?
The young man said, "It is not convenient for you to be in the house now, and you will stay outside for some time, and when the master speaks, you may be able to come back." Don't think you can escape, your family is in the house. Chun Ying stared at him, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said with a nonchalant expression: "What to say and what not to say, you have to know in your heart." Don't think I don't know what you're doing outside, if I hear a gossip, I don't need to be told by my master, I'll kill you first!" β
When he said the last sentence, he said it with . With a hint of murderous aura, Chun Ying only felt a chill slowly rising up from behind her back, and immediately obeyed, lowering her eyes and not daring to stare at anyone again, but her clenched fists still revealed the anger in her heart.
The young man smiled, turned around and walked outside the door, and in a few moments, there was another. The man walked in quickly. Chunying's eyes widened again. That's actually her father's expensive road!
Lu Yougui hurriedly squatted down in front of his daughter and said, "What are you messing with in the house. What's going on? How could you be so troubled that you have to be sent away quietly?! I told your mother again and again that I want you to work honestly, don't walk around, and go to your sister if you have something, why are you so disobedient?! β
Chunying's eyes were red, and she only felt full of grievances, but she was blocked again. mouth, I couldn't say a word, "Hmm" twice, signaling my father to take away the cloth that was plugging his mouth, but Lu Yougui secretly glanced outside the house, turned his head and glared at her: "Dad doesn't want to know what you want to say, don't talk about it to outsiders." In short, whatever Steward Xiao Chen tells you to do, you will do it, don't make trouble for your parents! Be diligent on weekdays, maybe Steward Xiao Chen will let you come back earlier when he sees that you are well-behaved. β
Someone shouted outside the door. Lu Yougui said, it sounded like a teenager, Lu Yougui hurriedly went out, and after a while, he turned around, and there was already an extra burden in his hand, and Chunying recognized it as his own thing.
Lu Yougui opened the burden and took a look, and said, "This is a change of clothes that the eldest sisters in the house packed for you, see how caring people are!" If you can return home in the future, don't forget to thank you! Then he took out a money bag from his bosom, looked at it, only picked out a few copper coins, and stuffed the money bag into the baggage: "You don't have any money with you, here are a few taels of silver, keep it slowly." Steward Xiao Chen said, wait a few days, the wind will be quieter, and let us go to see you! I'll go to your sister's place, you just have to stay at Xiao Chen's steward's place honestly! β
Chunying felt that something was wrong, although the clothes in this bag were her own, but what about the silver money and jewelry she had saved? That's the money she's going to use to redeem her family! There are other clothes and utensils, did someone put them away for her, or was someone swallowed them?! She remembered that after Qing'er left the house that day, things were divided by Chen'er and them!
She "whined" a few times and motioned for her father to take off the gagged cloth so that she could speak. Lu Yougui didn't understand what his daughter meant, and thought she wanted to protest something, so he slapped her: "Obedient!" Do you have to be angry with your dad to be willing?! Finally survived to this day, my father became a comprador under the hands of Xiao Chen's steward, and the family life is also relaxed, thanks to Xiao Chen's steward, Mrs. has already nodded, let us take back the east wing of the courtyard of the old road house, and move back after the Dragon Boat Festival! I have discussed with your mother that you will give one of the two transepts to you sisters, so that you don't have to squeeze a kang with your brother when you go home! It's all the grace of the wife. You do things honestly for me, don't worry me and your mother! After a pause, he slowed down and sighed: "Everything is fine at home now, as long as your brothers and sisters are safe, we don't ask for anything." Don't worry about being at home, just get out there......"
Lu Yougui didn't know what happened to his daughter, but he only heard his boss say that his daughter knew some secrets that she shouldn't know, and someone wanted to be unfavorable to her, so she dared to do it in front of the third young master, so she quietly sent her out of the house and hid for a while, so she couldn't let people know. He thought that Xiao Chen's steward was his wife's person, this should be what his wife meant, and since he had inherited his wife's grace, he should have instructed his daughter to follow orders, but he didn't expect that behind Xiao Chen's steward, there were other masters.
Chunying listened to her father's words, but misunderstood. The young man just now, if he is "Xiao Chen's steward", then it is rumored that he is not only the son of his wife's companion, but also Mei Xiang's fiancΓ©, and he is also a close confidant of Hou Ye. Is there a meaning behind this? It stands to reason that the third young master has already made a plan, and she has agreed to cooperate, and it is unlikely that the third young master will let people knock him out and send him out of the house again. It is very likely that after the Hou Ye and his wife knew about this, they deliberately arrested themselves in order not to affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion, and the third young master and Zhou Nian, as juniors, were naturally not easy to stop. But...... Isn't Mrs. hostile to Ershao? Could it be that this is just what Hou Ye meant?!
Speaking of which, what is Zhou Nian's purpose in suddenly mentioning her lost pearl flower? She didn't show up at the scene of the crime without Zhuhua, so it was impossible to make a bloody plot about the things that fell behind, but Zhuhua's disappearance was indeed very bizarre, and she remembered that the night before, Manru had entered her room......
Chunying's mind was in a mess, and suddenly in front of her eyes, Lu Yougui had already gotten up to leave, she called several times, but she didn't stop him, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose. Then Steward Xiao Chen entered the door again, and said with a smile: "Are you done?" It's for the sake of your father's daily diligence that I specially let your father and daughter talk about other things. Now it's honest, right? Turn around and send you away with my own car, I will follow the car personally, don't worry, I won't make you suffer. With that, his eyes swirled around the burden in front of her, and he went out again.
Chunying's body was weak for a while, and she fell on the sack behind her, and tears couldn't help but flow.
What is this? I wanted her to know what was going on, and now she was inexplicably beaten with a stick, and inexplicably tied up here, and inexplicably sent to some unknown place, and the whereabouts of the property she had accumulated for several months were unknown, and her father told her to be honest, but he refused to let her say a word......
She was groggy, tired and aching, and in a daze, she felt something cover her, and then she was lifted up and thrown onto the hard plank, and then several heavy objects fell on her, and after a while, her body moved, and she heard the sound of the wheels turning.
During the whole process, she had a vague consciousness, but she always couldn't open her eyes, and she didn't know how long it took before she smelled a pungent smell, and suddenly a spirit, the whole person came to her senses, stretched out her hand to support her body, and the hemp ropes on her hands and feet had been untied.
She recognized it as a carriage, stuffed with sacks, bulging, presumably flour and something. The curtain of the car was lifted suddenly, Chunying turned her head to look, and Xiao Chen, the steward was holding a lamp, and was smiling at her: "Come down." β
Chunying hesitantly climbed out of the carriage, and with the help of the lantern in the hand of Xiao Chen's steward, she saw that she was surrounded by an unfamiliar building, a two-story brick and wood building, surrounded by a patio, and a bamboo pole for drying clothes in the corner, and the carriage she was sitting in was in the courtyard.
Someone upstairs walked down, also carrying a lamp, and walked to the front, but it was a short and fat middle-aged man, shy belly, smiling kindly: "Yo, here?" Is this the girl? He came to Chunying with a lantern to take a closer look, Chunying took two steps back in surprise, but he smiled even more happily: "Look at it, it's quite watery?" Not bad, that's good! Peace, this girl is really mine? β
What do you mean?! Chun Ying was shocked in her heart, and quickly turned her head to look at Xiao Chen. The latter frowned: "How do you say that?" The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I said it wrong, I am asking, this girl really wants to work here for me?" She's the girl in the aunt's wife's house, right? I've heard that the girls in the mansion are very squeamish, and they are more expensive than ordinary girls! I'm afraid she won't be able to endure our suffering. β
Steward Xiao Chen smiled: "In short, she wants to stay with you for a while, and if you have a job, let her do it, there is only one thing, if anyone comes to ask, don't reveal her origin." She is not allowed to go with anyone except the person holding my token. If she is disobedient, you can just beat and scold her at will, and if it doesn't make a good scene, come to me, and I will teach her a good lesson! He rolled his eyes and glanced at Chunying.
Chun Ying shivered, gritted her teeth and lowered her head. She doesn't know where she has been, she has to deal with it carefully, the situation is stronger than people, and she can't act rashly until she is completely sure!
Steward Xiao Chen said a few words to the middle-aged man, then dropped the carriage and left, the latter sent him out the back door, turned around and smiled kindly at Chunying: "Your name is Xiaochun?" I'll call you Xiaochun, this name is appropriate! This is Yunxiang Pavilion, which is a silk shop. My surname is Shi, you can call me Shi Shopkeeper. The work here is not heavy, it is very idle, but my sister has to find someone to help. She has a bit of a fierce temperament, just bear with it. Yes! Look at my memory, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I don't know if there's anything to eat in the kitchen. It's too bad, I can't cook......" Shopkeeper Shi rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Will you do it?" If you know how to do it, will you make me some noodles? I haven't eaten dinner yet, and my sister is angry with me again, but it's actually those two monkeys who are naughty! It's really ......" paused, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'll take you to see where you sleep, right?" β
Chunying nodded a little sluggishly, pulled over her burden, and followed the stone shopkeeper upstairs, listening to him along the way: "The house is smaller, but the beds are still clean." Don't worry, if you can't be hungry, I won't beat you. How can I hit someone? How difficult is it for the little girl's family to come out to work? Ping'an, that kid is just a bluffer, how can he marry a wife like this?! Alas? I heard that he is going to marry a wife soon? Still a pretty girl, why do you think he's so lucky? β
Chunying stepped on the creaking wooden ladder and didn't know how to react.
Where the hell did she come to?
