Chapter 5: Gone

After the night was quiet, Ye Xinyan looked at the hour, and at the end of the day, there was no sound outside, so she and Mama Jin wore thin clothes and quietly walked out of the yard.

Ye Xinyan led Mama Jin to find the dog hole drilled by the little girl in her memory under the backyard wall, and the two of them squeezed through the small hole.

After Ye Xinyan went out, he returned to his head and restored the weeds in the dog hole.

Under the empty outer wall, in the dark night, the two retied their burdens, put on three different coats on top of each other, and dodged to the west of the city.

Along the way, in the dark and complicated streets, Ye Xinyan showed unusual caution and wit. Every time you take a step, you have to watch the next corner where you can hide, and you have to avoid several people who call the watch and the city defense soldiers who patrol the night.

Mama Jin is a servant, her physical strength is not bad, her legs and feet are dexterous, and she closely followed the panting Ye Xinyan all the way down. In the corners of several dilapidated houses near the West City Gate, the two of them could rest.

Ye Xinyan gasped and whispered, "Mama, let's just rest here." As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, the two of us will follow the flow of people out of the city. It wasn't dawn yet, and the house probably hadn't noticed that we were missing. ”

………

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, with the solemn and dull opening of the city gate, many people who had been waiting in the city gate early and were in a hurry began to leave the city one after another.

Ye Xinyan and the others also followed the flow of people and went out of the city as soon as possible.

After going out of the city and following the flow for a while, the two left the official road and walked in a secluded place. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin took off the daily clothes they were wearing, put together a piece of carbon black cloth on the loess on the ground, smeared it on their faces and necks, and recombed their hair.

After some modifications, the two looked at the unkempt and tired poor woman who had been tortured by life, and they couldn't see half of their former appearance. The two walked back separately, returned to the city, and stayed in the west of the city in two dilapidated inns that they had favored last night.

It wasn't until they stayed at the inn that the hour had passed. The girl in Ye Xinyan's courtyard of the Guogong Mansion saw that the eldest lady had not moved for a long time, and Mama Jin had not come out, so she had the courage to go in to check, and she was shocked when she saw it.

The courtyard was immediately in chaos.

……

Hearing the news of the disappearance of the eldest lady, the grandfather, the princess, and the prince who did not show up yesterday quickly gathered in this hated courtyard.

Listening to the reply of his subordinates, An Guogong was furious. I didn't care about anything else, so I arranged a few people to chase secretly in different directions, and then I was ready to deal with the people in the yard when I returned.

At this time, the piece of paper written by Ye Xinyan came into play. Her daughter has just left, and she doesn't know if she can get it back, and Mrs. Shizi said that she would leave some blessings for her daughter.

When Grandpa Guo was thinking about how to deal with more than a dozen girls, Mrs. Shizi cried bitterly and pleaded, and also showed the message written by Ye Xinyan to Grandpa Guo.

Seeing this ugly handwriting, An Guogong was not only angry, but also further determined that Ye Xinyan had indeed run away.

"Look at you, this is your husband and wife's daughter! The granddaughter of the dignified Guogong Mansion did such an ugly thing, and she didn't want to sincerely repent in the family temple, so she dared to escape! Grandpa Guo's gloomy face could almost drip water, and when he looked at the page again, he threw it at the son who advocated killing the slave and maid with an angry face.

This pig brain, do you know that the top priority is to get people back quietly, and not let a bigger scandal spread in the Guogong Mansion, everything else is secondary.

"I wonder what you've got in your head? It's all this time, and you still want to kill the slaves? Are you afraid that the people in the capital will not know that the granddaughter of the Anguo Mansion has fled? Reprimanded Ye Hongyang, and instead instructed the housekeeper, "The minions in this courtyard are all sent to the remote Zhuangzi." Tell them to keep their mouths shut if they want to live. Our family's external caliber should be the same, so we will say that this evil obstacle has been sent to the family temple. After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left with the Duchess of Guo.

Grandpa Guo was very dissatisfied with his son's pampering concubine. But that Aunt Liu can do things, and she doesn't stand out on weekdays, and Grandpa Guo doesn't interfere too much in the affairs of his son's room.

This is all caused by the son's pampering concubine, what else can be done except to quietly find the person back as soon as possible and send it to the family temple?

At this time, Grandpa Guo never imagined that according to the power and manpower of the Guogong Mansion, he would not be able to recover a pampered and brainless granddaughter and plant a big heel in such a trivial matter.

Shizi Ye Hongyang hurriedly caught the page, glanced at it with disgust, and reprimanded Yin: "Look at the daughter you taught!" If you don't understand it, you don't know how to be honest, even if you write a few words, you can write like this. In vain, she is still the granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion, in addition to being able to disgrace the Guogong Mansion, what else will she do? ”

didn't look at Yin's resentful eyes, and directly ordered his subordinates: "Go and check, see how the eldest lady left, and hide it from everyone." It must be Mama Jin's dog slave to help with it, if it is according to the stupid nature of the eldest lady, I am afraid that I will not even be able to go out of this yard! Wait to catch that dead girl back, break her legs immediately, and see how she escapes! ”

At this time, Ye Hongyang only regarded Ye Xinyan's escape from home as a humiliating thing, and only thought about how to deal with her when he got her back, and he didn't think about what to do if he couldn't get her back.

Yin watched Ye Hongyang leave with hatred, and he was even more angry in his heart. No matter what, Ah Yan is also his daughter, and he doesn't worry about whether his daughter will be in danger outside, but he just wants to punish his daughter to relieve his anger.

And Aunt Liu was happy. Hearing that Ye Xinyan actually ran away from home, she had a deeper understanding of the stupidity of the granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion.

Aunt Liu sat in the room, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth. Ye Xinyan has the bad deeds of escaping this time, even if she can be successfully arrested by the Guogong Mansion, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the Guogong Mansion is likely to take strict care of her for a period of time and quietly dispose of her.

If you can't get it back...... That's even harder to say. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman, alone outside, and so beautiful, you can imagine what kind of situation she will have.

is smart, it's okay not to reveal the identity of the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, even if she is humiliated, she can still save her life. If her identity is revealed, once it is known by the government, Grandpa Guo will kill her as soon as possible.

No matter what the outcome is, Ye Xinyan is a dead end.

………

While arranging a carriage and pretending to send people to the family temple, the Guogong Mansion stepped up to arrange for people to chase Ye Xinyan back.

Because he couldn't find someone with great fanfare, the people who were sent out by the Guogong Mansion couldn't reveal their identities, so they could only vaguely inquire if they saw two women, an old man and a young woman.

Several groups of people chased out of the West City Gate, and the clue was broken, and only people saw the two women they described walked out of the West City Gate, and walked in the southwest direction of the side, and then no one saw the two of them.

The people of the Guogong Mansion chased them down in several ways, asking along the road, but they could no longer find their figures. Two days later, the inspectors from various sources came back one after another, but nothing was found.

An Guogong's father and son were shocked and puzzled. It's just two backhouse women, and in such a short period of time, it is said that they can't go far. They had already sent out people to look for them as soon as possible, and someone did see her and the two of them go out of the West City Gate, how could they not find it?

An Guogong's father and son couldn't imagine that they would use their staff to escape for a little woman in the deep house.

The confidants of the Guogong Mansion proposed to send people to search along the outside of the city, and at the same time to visit the inns in the city to see if there would be any news. He also said vaguely that it would be best to check in the land of fireworks to see if anyone had abducted the young woman in the past two days.

Although An Guogong was angry, he was frightened, so he had to spread out his hands to find it according to the suggestion of his staff.

It was the two days that the Guogong Mansion had been looking for outside the city that gave Ye Xinyan some buffer. When the Guogong Mansion turned around to visit the city, Ye Xinyan had already rented a dilapidated small courtyard in a place where the poor lived as a widow, settled the bill with Mama Jin one after another, and left the inn.

Moreover, everyone in the Ren Guogong Mansion would never have imagined that the arrogant eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion would settle in the dirty and messy slums, and she would be able to live in peace for a long time.
