Zhu Ran sat in the firewood room all night, and when it was almost dawn, the door was opened. A woman in pink and two men entered.

"Loosen the girl's bonds!" The woman in pink glanced at Zhu Ran and said hurriedly.

The two men listened to the pink-clothed woman's words very much, and respectfully untied the rope bound to Zhuran's body.

The woman in pink took Zhuran to a beautifully decorated room. I brought some snacks. "I guess the girl is hungry too, let's have some snacks first!" The woman in pink said as she moved the snack to Zhuran's side.

Zhu Ran didn't speak, thinking in his heart whether these people had found out her identity and felt that they had value in using her, so they were polite to her.

Seeing that Zhu Ran didn't speak, the woman in pink looked at the dim sum and said, "The girl thinks the dim sum is rough?" ”

"I don't have an appetite."

"That girl will rest first, and if something calls me, I will wait outside the door." After saying that, the woman in pink withdrew.

Zhuran looked around the house, there were no windows in the house, and the only place to get out was the door, but the door was still guarded, and she had no chance to escape.

The day passed quickly, and the woman in pink came to deliver dozens of meals, but Zhu Ran didn't move her chopsticks.

The door was opened again, "Girl, why don't you eat some too!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't starve to death for a day and a half, as long as I don't die, won't it delay your business." Zhu Ran said as he looked at the doorway.

"Girl, I beg you! You're so good at moving your chopsticks. The woman in pink suddenly knelt on the ground.

"What do you mean by that?"

"My lord said that if the girl hurts a hair, it will kill us!"

"You adults are so interesting, I didn't know that I was so expensive!" Zhu Ran smiled bitterly.

"Girl, what I said is true!" The woman in pink rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, "Today, I have delivered a total of seven meals to the girl, but the girl didn't eat, so I was beaten seven times." My lord said, this time... If the girl doesn't eat it this time, she will kill me... My life. The woman in pink fell to her knees and wept.

Zhu Ran was speechless for a long time, she didn't expect that she would be able to affect others when she came to such a field. "Get up, I'll eat."

"Miss Xie, Miss Xie's great grace." As soon as she heard this, the woman in pink hurriedly got up, served the rice in front of Zhu Ran, and handed the chopsticks to Zhu Ran.

Zhu Ran took the chopsticks and moved the dish slightly, plum blossom meat, shredded bamboo shoots, three-color food balls, what a familiar dish! Here are her memories with him. "This dish is... Who did it? ”

"Isn't it not to the girl's taste? I'll go to the kitchen and make some more! The woman in pink said nervously.

"No need, I mean the food is good." Zhu Ran looked at the nervous appearance of the woman in pink, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Are you adults usually very strict with your subordinates?" Zhu Ran took a bite of the dish and asked casually.

“… Be. The woman in pink replied timidly.

"The subordinates do things for their masters with all their hearts and responsibilities, but the masters don't know how to treat their subordinates well, and they will be beaten and scolded at the least, and they will be killed at the worst, and even with the lives of their families!"

"Girl... How did the girl know? The woman in pink asked.

"I'm talking about myself, do you know who I am?"

The woman shook her head.

"If I say I'm a maid from Ruixin's palace, can you believe me?" Zhu Ran looked up at the woman in pink.

"I don't believe it, if the girl is just an ordinary maid like me, why do adults care so much about the girl."

"That's because you adults think I'm useful."

"What is the use value of a maid?" The woman in pink asked rhetorically.

"Do you know why you adults can become adults, why you can control your life and death, and why you can call the wind and rain?"

"Because he is a great official of the imperial court!"

"No, because of this!" , Zhu Ran pointed to his head.

"Head?"

"It's a conspiracy! In his hands, anyone can have use value, and anyone can become a chess piece, including ordinary maids like you and me. ”

"Is that girl really a maid?"

"Yes, I am a maid in Prince Ruixin's mansion, working in the prince's study. The rules in the palace are as strict as they are here, my sister... accidentally smashed the prince's tea bowl, which has been... It has been..."Zhu Ran covered his face with his sleeve.

"Sister, don't say it, let her pass the sad things!" The woman in pink comforted Zhu Ran and said.

Zhu Ran quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl, "The meal is finished, let's go and pay the errand!" Otherwise, he will be punished again! ”

"Okay, then I'll go down first." The woman in pink slowly retreated, and at the moment she turned around, she seemed to have completed her task, revealing a smug smile.

The moon rises in the sky, and the courtyard is very quiet, and there are some cautious people who are silent.

"Sister, are you asleep?" The woman in pink lowered her voice and called Zhu Ran softly.

Zhu Ran was lying on his side on the couch, "Not yet." ”

"And I came in?"

"Hmm."

The woman quietly entered the house and walked to Zhuran's side. "Why didn't my sister sleep?"

"No sleepiness, what's the matter?" This is what she asks, she is now locked up here, as a prisoner under the stairs, her life is in danger, and she can't sleep no matter how big her heart is.

"No, I just want to talk to my sister for a while. Since my sister talked about her life experience, I have felt very similar to my sister. ”

"Yes, my sister... If you are still alive and as old as you, I will feel very kind when I see you. Zhu Ran held the hand of the woman in pink and said.

"Don't hide it from my sister, I originally had a sister, but sister... was favored by the young master and forcibly ... Occupied. My sister originally had a marriage contract, but in order to live up to Brother Da Niu, she threw herself into a well... Committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. The woman in pink said, crying silently.

Zhu Ran watched the tears of the woman in pink fall, and did not speak again, a story she made up casually was simply ridiculous compared to a story with real blood, how could she bear to take advantage of a simple-minded girl. Zhu Ran didn't even know how to speak, so he could only reach out and wipe away her tears for the woman in pink.

"Sister, I have a way to get you out!" After a while, the woman in pink said.

"Get me out, what are you going to do?" Zhu Ran gently patted the pink-clothed woman's shoulder.

"I'm okay!"

Zhu Ran looked at the sincere eyes of the woman in pink, ashamed in her heart. "All beings are equal, and every person's life is precious, whether it is a prince or a general, or a white cloth cloth. I can't harm another for the sake of my own selfish interests. ”

"No, sister, I mean, we can all run away!" The woman in pink hurriedly explained.

"What?"

"It's such a sister, in the afternoon, the adults took away most of the family in the house, and she hasn't come back yet. We are now in the south side room, although it is not far from the back door, but we have to pass through a door, this door is locked, and we can only get out with Li Er's key. My sister will change into my usual clothes first, and I will go to trick Li Er's key, if we can get the key, our hope will be half there. ”

"If you don't get it, aren't you in danger?" Zhuran said.

"Don't worry, sister. At that time, I said that my sister was vomiting and needed to see a doctor urgently. ”

It's hard to believe that everything is going so well. Zhu Ran had already come to the back door with the woman in pink at this time.

"Why do you go out in the middle of the night?" The doorkeeper asked sternly.

"Brother Wang, I'm Xiaohe, don't you know me anymore?" The woman in pink winked at the man, and the moon in the sky was in her eyes, and Zhu Ran looked at it in her eyes, as if she had seen the eyes of a fox. I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but I thought that now that I was in the house, it was better to gamble than to stay in the house.

"Yo, what a lotus!" The man rubbed his eyes, "It's late at night, why are you still going out?" ”

"My sister is seriously ill and needs to see Lang Zhong urgently!"

"Why don't you invite Lang Zhong into the mansion, do you still need to go out to see?"

"It's a sudden illness!" The woman in pink explained.

"This is your sister?" The man looked at Zhu Ran and said.

Zhu Ran had a scarf on her head, and when she saw the man looking at her, although she was wearing a veil, she still lowered her head slightly. ”

"Why are you still covered with a scarf?" The man reached out and tried to lift the scarf.

Xiaohe hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's measles!" ”

Zhu Ran hurriedly covered his mouth and pretended to cough.

The man saw that Zhu Ran was covering his mouth and coughing, and the hand that wanted to lift the scarf paused, "Let's go!" Come back soon! ”

"Thank you, big brother! I'll be back in a moment! ”

finally came out, and the woman in pink ran up quickly with Zhuran. After walking and running for about dozens of miles, I met an official road.

"Sister, follow this official road, you can go where you want to go! Xiaohe is also going home. The woman in pink pointed to the road ahead.

"Thank you, Xiaohe. The grace of saving lives, Zhu Ran is unforgettable. ”

"It's okay, sister, let's go, I won't be able to leave as soon as I find out, and I'm going home first." The woman in pink said as she walked towards the fork in the official road.

"Wait a minute," Zhu Ran took off the bracelet on his hand, "This is for you, as an exchange for some silver, buy a field and live well." ”

The woman in pink didn't shirk it, took the bracelet and persuaded Zhuran to leave quickly, "Let's go, sister!" Once you find out, you really can't leave! ”

After Zhu Ran said goodbye to the woman in pink, he quickly ran towards the official road. I don't know where I've gone, but I've been walking forward briskly. Thinking back on what happened in the past two days, it is like a dream. Looking at the official road in front of her, Zhu Ran thought to herself if she would be free from now on, Zhu Heyu would not think about her life and death if she used her to get out, as long as she went to a place where no one knew now, she would be completely free. In Zhufu, Zhu Heyu used himself, and his life and death were uncertain, so he naturally felt that his mother would not be implicated. It's just that Shui Xin and Ruoyi learned the news of their disappearance......

"Sister, let's go, I'm going home too!" As he walked, Xiaohe's words suddenly came to Zhuran's mind. Xiaohe's home is near here, so help yourself escape, and be known by those people, how can you... Wouldn't it be a burden to her whole family! Zhuran stopped and looked in the direction of the original road. Thinking like this, I was frightened, and because I ran desperately before, my throat was fishy and sweet, and I didn't cough up blood after coughing twice, but gasped and retched.

Why did Xiaohe trot with herself all the way, without the slightest breath, but she couldn't stop panting. Is it just because Xiaohe is a maid and is used to rough work? But she's just a girl younger than herself!

When I escaped just now, I saw that the layout of the mansion was very luxurious, not comparable to the ordinary mansion, how could the guard be so lax, just with Xiaohe and a maid, he could hide from the sky and the sea?

What can make an adult go out with half of the family in the house? If that adult attaches so much importance to himself, how could he leave only three people to guard him?

Xiaohe is meticulous, and her home is in the local area, could it be that she will forget to let herself go for a while, which will affect her whole family? Or did she do whatever it took to save herself?

Zhu Ran looked at the road ahead, Tantu Avenue, if it was really as she thought, if she went back now, would she be able to save the lives of Xiaohe and her family?
