Chapter 129: What Happened to Little Red
Ye Lan'er hurriedly helped Xiaohong up.
She got up and walked to the table, poured a bowl of herbal tea, and then brought the snacks on the table to the bed along with the plate: "Xiaohong, you eat first." If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to escape. Look at you, you don't even have the strength to speak now. ”
Xiaohong has been trapped for a few days, desperately resisting, and seeking death several times. In order to prevent her, the old bustard tied her like a rice dumpling, and it was impossible to give her food.
Indifferently, even if it is given to her, Xiaohong herself will never eat it.
So now her whole person is close to collapse, her face is sallow, her eye sockets are sunken, her lips are dry, and she can probably faint after a little more tossing.
Xiaohong nodded, she felt that what Ye Lan'er said made sense, and since she already had a way out, she had to cheer up.
So he took the bowl in Ye Lan'er's hand and drank it with a grunt. I picked up another piece of puff pastry and stuffed it into my mouth.
Ye Lan'er patted her back gently: "Eat slowly, Xiaohong, eat slowly......"
Xiaohong chewed so hard that she didn't even notice that the girl next to her kept calling her by her first name.
The old bustard of this kiln has been in the leather and meat business for more than ten years, and she has a good friend, who works as an errand in the yamen, and it is this part of the kiln street that governs her.
Xiaohong had already escaped from this Lifang Pavilion after finding an opportunity, but was caught by the errand man with more than a dozen people.
Xiaohong said this, and seemed to be afraid: "Girl, it is not difficult to escape from this Lifang Pavilion, but it is not easy to get out of this kiln street." ”
Ye Lan'er shook her head with a smile, then reached into her sleeve pocket and took out two large ingots of gold: "Who said we were going to escape?" I will redeem myself for you and take you away openly. ”
As the saying goes, having money can make the ghost push the ghost, and if you have more money, you will let the ghost push the ghost.
A safe and effective method is of course the first choice for Ye Lan'er. Besides, even if his gold reaches the hands of that black-hearted old bustard, he may not be able to cover it in her pocket.
Even if it was for Xiaohong, Ye Lan'er had to take it back with her empty hands.
Xiaohong looked at the gold in Ye Lan'er's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.
She whispered, "We girls are like that, too, like to carry heavy gold with us......
When Ye Lan'er heard this, her eyes turned red. She had a thousand questions in her heart, but she held back.
She instructed, "Girl, rest here for a while, and I will go and negotiate with the old bustard." ”
After Ye Lan'er found the old bustard who was soliciting customers on the street, she explained her intentions, and the expression on the old bustard's face was as if she had been hit by a dozen taels of gold.
She sat on the ground and raised the price: "Two hundred taels!" ”
In the most inferior kilns like this, the girls in it are either beggars or abducted girls bought from traffickers, or the daughters of poor families themselves, except for their appearance, the prostitutes in this kind of kiln have no special skills, and purely sell meat.
Generally, it is a few taels of silver at most, and the old bustard will ask for two hundred taels when he opens his mouth, which is really a lion's mouth.
But Ye Lan'er is ready to fulfill the bustard's dream.
"Okay, deal!"
As she spoke, she pulled out six ingots of gold from her sleeve pockets, waist, and trouser legs, all of which were of good color and attractive color.
"Is that enough?" Ye Lan'er put the gold in the palm of the bustard's hand and asked her to weigh it.
The old bustard smiled on his face: "Enough is enough!" It's a great blessing for this girl to be able to meet a caring person like you, Childe! Childe is really arrogant, my Aunt Feng is really sincere to you......"
Ye Lan'er got goosebumps all over her body, stretched out her hand, and took the gold back.
Seeing that the gold in his hand was taken away again, the anxious old bustard stretched his neck and "screamed".
"Childe! What are you doing here? Didn't you say yes? You can't go back! ”
Ye Lan'er stretched out a hand under the old bustard's nose: "Paperwork!" Deed of Sale! These things should be there, right? Could it be that you want to take my gold for nothing? When the time comes, slander us and flee without permission, so that the government can arrest us? ”
The old bustard sneered: "How come! How could it be! I'll do it, I'll do it, Childe, you come in with me and sit down for a while. ”
At this time, the moon has risen on the branches, and the time has passed. The business in the kiln is very hot, and most of the girls in this Lifang Pavilion have been picked, and the two rows of wings in the courtyard are full.
Ye Lan'er walked back to the courtyard at this moment, and her ears were filled with all kinds of indescribable sounds.
She suddenly felt a little hot, and Murong Ke suddenly popped up in her mind unconsciously.
It doesn't matter if it's a risk, it's not good for her from the inside out. I didn't expect that I would think of the white moonlight in my heart in such a pickled place, did this defile my pure feelings?
Ye Lan'er hurriedly covered her ears and ran towards the wing where Xiaohong was located.
There were already two more ghost slaves guarding the door, and Ye Lan'er didn't care about them, and walked into the room quickly.
Xiaohong naturally didn't rest, and when she saw Ye Lan'er coming in, her eyes were full of inquiry.
Ye Lan'er smiled and said, "The old bustard has gone to do the paperwork, and when the paperwork is done, we can leave." ”
Xiaohong was about to kneel down again, but Ye Lan'er hurriedly grabbed her and forcibly pressed her on the bed.
"Xiaohong, you don't have to be like this, you don't have to worry, it's all right."
Xiaohong's eyes were full of tears, but at this moment she clearly heard Ye Lan'er calling her name.
She has always used a fake name, and the old bustard also called herself Jade Niang, and she never knew that she was burning a fire in the Prince's Mansion back then, and there was a name called Xiaohong.
She wiped the tears from her face and caught a glimpse of the jade pendant tied around Ye Lan'er's waist.
The jade pendant that Yu Feiyuan gave to Ye Lan'er has been hanging on her body since she was in Rui Wang's Mansion, how could Xiaohong not recognize it.
"Girl?! It's you!? ”
Little Red exclaimed softly.
Ye Lan'er noticed her eyes and knew that she recognized her jade pendant, so she stopped pretending, nodded lightly, and hugged her shoulder: "It's me, Xiaohong, you suffered." ”
Xiaohong's tears poured out even more violently, and she choked up with tears: "Girl! Girl, where have you been all these days! How could you leave me and Emerald Ring behind!
Girl! Do you know how worried we are about you!
Girl...... Woowoowoooooooo......oo
Ye Lan'er patted her back one by one, knowing that she had calmed down.
But as soon as Xiaohong calmed down, she immediately noticed the problem: "Girl! Are you able to speak?! ”
Ye Lan'er nodded: "Yes." Little Red, I can speak. I didn't dare to recognize you just now, for fear that it would not be safe here, and now that you recognize me, I don't have to hide it.
It's just that I don't know a little, you and Cuihuan are in Rui Wangfu, how can they be sold into the kiln?
What about the emerald ring? Where is she now? ”
Xiaohong's tears welled up again: "Cuihuan her...... Perhaps, in another kiln...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Xiaohong, don't cry yet, tell me, what happened?"
Xiaohong finally stopped her tears, choked up and told her what happened to her and Cuihuan after Ye Lan'er left the Rui Wang's Mansion.
Cuihuan and Xiaohong didn't know what Ye Lan'er had experienced, but they only knew that their girl had followed Rui Wang Ye to participate in the hunt.
But one day they were instructed by the butler to pack up and go somewhere.
Ye Lan'er naturally knew what kind of place it was when she heard this. At that time, he was secretly sent by Murong Ke to hide in a mansion under the name of Princess Rongcheng, and Cuihuan and Xiaohong should have been arranged to go to Rongcheng to take care of themselves.
But Ye Lan'er was kidnapped by Ye Xuan that night, and Cuihuan and Xiaohong naturally couldn't make it.
After the matter was settled, the two maids began to be unsteady in the Rui Wang's Mansion.
Because Lord Rui has returned, but his own girl has not.
They were soft-spoken, and could not inquire about anything. I only knew that Lord Rui was very angry and ordered the "confinement room" to be sealed, but the two of them were still left there and cleaned up every day.
Later, they received a notice that someone from the prince's mansion was going to take them back.
Ye Lan'er was a little puzzled when she heard this: "What? The Prince's Mansion asked you back? What is the reason? ”
Xiaohong shook her head: "I don't know what the reason is...... It is normal for us to be sent back and forth, where are we qualified to ask for reasons. ”
"And what about when you go back? What happened? ”
Xiaohong sighed: "The crown prince and the crown princess met us and asked us a lot about the Rui Wangfu. But Cuihuan and I are detained together, and we are not familiar with the Rui Wang's Mansion at all, so how can we say anything they want to know?
Then the prince met with me and Cuihuan alone, and asked a lot about the girl. Repeatedly asked if he had seen the girl again after the hunt. When we said no, he was furious.
That night, Cuihuan and I were arranged in the small courtyard next to the study where the previous girl lived.
Seeing the things that the girl had used before, Cuihuan and I were very sad while missing the girl.
So the two of us sorted out the things that the girl had used before and didn't take with us. At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over drunk......"
Xiaohong said this, a little difficult to speak.
"And then?" Ye Lan'er asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very abnormal that night, we have never seen him like that. He punched and kicked us, and even drew his sword to cut us down......"
"What a scumbag!" Ye Lan'er got angry when she thought of that hypocrite.
Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up an old garment that the girl had worn before. The dress was torn because the skirt was torn, so it was not taken away and was left in the prince's mansion.
The prince threw the clothes on Cuihuan, forced her to change them, and then ...... Then ......"
Xiaohong didn't continue, but Ye Lan'er understood.
Murong Yan, that brute, * Cuihuan.
Xiaohong's tears began to flood again, and she continued with grief and indignation: "The crown princess knew about this immediately. Cuihuan and I were dragged out and sold.
It's just a matter of selling it to an ordinary Zhuangzi, but the princess is so vicious that she is not afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the prince's mansion, separating me from Cuihuan, and after several changes of hands, she sold it into this most inferior kiln.
I was fortunate enough to meet the girl today, but Cuihuan ...... I don't know where she is now, or what kind of situation she is in......"
