Chapter 34 Walking is the best policy
Sister-in-law Liu's words, how do they seem to be confessing her last words? A strong uneasiness swelled up in Wen Wen's heart, and he blurted out unconsciously and asked, "Don't you take Xiaohuan with you?" ”
A sentence reminded the current trance-like, wooden-looking Xiaohuan, she pulled Sister-in-law Liu's sleeve in fear and begged: "Mother, let's go together!" ”
"Walk together naturally! What I just said, I just said just in case, if something happens accidentally, I have settled your future life in advance, and I can rest assured. Sister-in-law Liu said and stroked Xiaohuan's hair and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange for you to leave the house first, no one will find out that you are missing for the time being, and I will sneak out of the house when I take the opportunity to buy vegetables in the morning." ”
She said and said, "When you go out, first go to the small deserted temple outside the city...... No, no, if you escape, the Zhao Mansion will definitely send someone to look for you, but it is not safe outside the city......" She lowered her head and pondered for a while before saying, "Go to Zhiwei Zhai and wait for me!" There has been no curfew in the city for many years, and the restaurant is open day and night, so you can sell a few more food lists to the shopkeeper by the way, and scrape together more money for self-defense. ”
If it weren't for the fact that she was full of worries at the moment, Sister-in-law Liu's words would have been gentle and cheer for her! Escaping from the house instead of hiding in a remote and quiet place, but swaggering in the middle of the city, who would have thought that the two escaped maids would hide in the big restaurant in the city? Sister-in-law Liu is really shrewd! However, there is still a little hesitation in Wen Wen's heart, is it really to the point where she has to escape? She hesitated and said: "I asked my mother Ming'er to come to the house to ask for the ransom price for me, she doesn't know about this matter, if she escapes, won't it affect her?" ”
Sister-in-law Liu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Which door did your mother Ming'er knock on?" I'll stop her for you, tell her to go home and pack up immediately, and go to Zhiwei Zhai to find you! ”
Inappropriate! In this way, wouldn't even the Ruhua family be implicated? Dragging the family with a mouth, hiding outside, and the slightest mistake will go wrong, this is definitely not a safe way! This matter, in the end, Sister-in-law Liu has not thought about it because she cherishes her daughter. After thinking about it for a long time, she still shook her head and said, "No, I still have a sick brother at home, four or five people, it's too eye-catching, and I can't hide my tracks at all." ”
"This-" Gentleness said the truth, four or five people are hiding together, it is easy to leak their whereabouts, not to mention, even the problem of eating and dressing is difficult to solve. Sister-in-law Liu didn't have a trick for a while, she was moving around the room, anxious like ants on a hot pot, and in such a cold weather, fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead.
"Listen to me." At this point, she calmed down, she thought carefully for a while, raised her eyes and looked directly at Sister-in-law Liu and said: "Tomorrow's morning is not dawn, Sister-in-law Liu, you first think of sending Xiaohuan out of the house, and then you use the excuse of buying vegetables and go out of the house, I will let my mother go to Zhiwei Zhai to pick you up and hide for a few days, and when I redeem myself and leave the house, we will work together to figure out what to do in the future." Anyway, I don't have to hide, and if I have anything to do, I can have someone to deal with. ”
As she spoke, she turned her head and asked Xiaohuan, "You must be scared when you go out alone, but can you bear with it for the time being?" In less than two hours, your mother will be looking for you. ”
Xiaohuan looked embarrassed, but knew that this was the safest way at the moment, so he had to nod.
"You're doing a good job, but there's something wrong with it." Sister-in-law Liu thought about it for a while and said, "It's too coincidental, who doesn't know that you are good with Xiaohuan?" Now that something happens to her, you have to redeem yourself, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. It's not safe to live in your house, so it's better to ask your mother to find a place to live for us and hide for the time being. ”
Gently nodded silently as she listened.
After Sister-in-law Liu finished speaking, she turned around and went to open the box, took out a small bag of silver from it, stuffed it into her gentle hand and said, "The two money you earned from selling food orders last time are not enough to redeem yourself, you can take these silver and spend it." ”
According to the doubling of the value of silver, the silver earned by Gentle is indeed not enough to redeem herself, and if Sister-in-law Liu escapes again, there is no one to sell food for her, in order to take care of the overall situation, she does not shirk, but after taking the silver and looking at it, she is uneasy and said: "Too much, I can't use these!" ”
"So far, I'll tell the truth!" Sister-in-law Liu said with a ashamed face: "Of the fifteen taels of silver, ten taels were deducted from the food list when I sold the food list for you yesterday......"
Speaking of this, she didn't wait for Gentle and Xiaohuan to react, and first apologized to Gentle: "I can't stand you for this, I am here to make amends to you, so please forgive me this time!" As she spoke, she gave a cautious salute to Gentleness.
Wen Rou was naturally surprised when she first heard about this, but she had been in modern times for a long time, and she had also seen other people eat kickbacks, and besides, she was worried about Xiaohuan at the moment, but she didn't take this matter too seriously, and hurriedly helped Sister-in-law Liu up, sighed and said: "Let's not worry about the past, it's important to discuss the right thing." ”
Sister-in-law Liu got up according to her words, looked at her gentleness and said, "I won't say anything else, I keep today's feelings in mind, and I will report it again when I have a chance in the future!" Just one more sentence that I have to tell you in advance. ”
Seeing that she said cautiously, she said gently and busily: "Sister-in-law Liu, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"You can think about it carefully, if you don't leave the house with Xiaohuan now, if the second lady doesn't let you redeem yourself, then there will be no one to help you escape!"
What Sister-in-law Liu said is not impossible. Gentleness began to waver a little, but she took a moment of gain and loss, gritted her teeth and said, "I'd better redeem myself and go out!" In this way, only the two of you need to hide, and you have a better chance of success! Otherwise, there are five of us, and there is really nowhere to hide. Besides, the second lady has long regarded me as a nail, and probably wished that I had left her eyes earlier, and she should not have let me redeem myself. ”
"Okay, I'll go and prepare for Xiaohuan's departure from the house immediately, you quickly pack up your body and go back to the third girl, if others ask about anything, you just insist that you don't know anything, don't show your flaws when you speak."
Sister-in-law Liu was still very decisive in her work, thoughtful, nodded gently, carefully wrote down her words, hid the small bag of silver, and then straightened her hair and clothes, and then looked at Xiaohuan, she sat there with a miserable expression, biting her lip as if she wanted to say something to herself, but she didn't open her mouth after all.
At this time, Gentleness didn't care whether her behavior was in line with the standards of the ancients, so she stepped forward and hugged Xiaohuan tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Be strong, my sister can't accompany you out of the house, you must be careful yourself, remember not to do anything that makes your relatives and enemies happy!" ”
Xiaohuan didn't know if he heard it, but just hugged it and cried gently.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and the time was pressing, Wen Rou couldn't delay any longer, so he only patted Xiaohuan's shoulder and said: "Don't cry, we will be able to meet outside the house in two days, as for your hatred, sooner or later I will avenge you!" "It's a prudent promise, and she says it very seriously.
After finishing speaking, she ruthlessly let go of Xiaohuan and walked out of the house, and when she reached the door, she turned around and glanced at Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaohuan again, then resolutely raised her head, showed a smile on her face, and strode out.
