[08] Escape

Helian City Lord's Mansion organized two funerals in succession for half a month, and it was a mother and son who died, Yun'er couldn't bear the blow, and fell ill all of a sudden, and she couldn't leave the house all day long.

As for how the fire started, Helian Wen also investigated afterwards, it was the night watchman who accidentally knocked over the candle and lit the wood that was easy to burn in the house, and then the fire burned bigger and bigger, and it was too late to find out

Yu Qi sneered coldly when she heard these things, even if she overturned the fire candle and caused the fire, it was impossible for it to ignite a raging fire in an instant, besides, Bai Shi would not run out when she saw the fire burning? What about the maid beside her? There are many doubts that even she can think of, Helian Wen may not be able to see it, as for him not to pursue this matter, it seems that it is not simple behind this

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yuqi pulled the sick Yun'er into the carriage, went directly out of the Helian siege, ran to a nearby mountain, and stopped at the bottom of the mountain, Yuqi pulled Yun'er out of the carriage and explained to the little guy who drove the car: "You go back first, Miss and I will walk here and relax, and we will come to pick us up in the evening."

The little girl looked at the young lady who had been silent, and looked at the bare mountains near here, thinking that the eldest lady was quite pitiful and nodded: "Yes, miss"

Yuqi watched the little girl drive the carriage away, she pulled Yun'er, who seemed to faint at any time, to go deep into the mountains, half an hour younger, Yun'er raised her eyes and looked at her: "Where are you going to take me?"

"Take you to meet two people"

"I don't want to see anyone now, I want to go home" Yun'er squatted down weakly, not wanting to move forward, she felt very tired and tired.

Shen Xi waited in place for a long time and still didn't see the eldest lady and Miss Qiyu, tightened his eyebrows, went out of the cave to look for it, and saw his own young lady squatting on the ground very aggrieved halfway up the mountain, and flew over, slightly excited and cautious: "Miss, it's me"

Yun'er looked up and saw that it was the eldest brother's personal guard, so she stood up from the ground: "Are you still alive?"

"The eldest young master is not dead, just in front, please come with me"

As soon as Yun'er heard that her eldest brother was not dead, she immediately came to her senses, lifted her skirt and followed Shen Xi, walking forward quickly, Yuqi smiled helplessly when she saw this, and followed them up the mountain behind her.

Yun'er saw that her eldest brother was half leaning on the big bed, and cried and pounced: "Big ~ brother, you scared me to death, woo woo, the mother is gone"

As soon as Bai Shi walked into the room with the bowl, he heard Yun'er's words, and when he saw that she was crying so sadly, he stepped forward and put down the medicine bowl and touched her behind him to comfort her: "Yun'er Niang is here."

The moment Yun'er saw her mother, she was in a trance: "Mother, is it you, is it you who came to see Yun'er, right?"

Bai couldn't cry or laugh: "Fool, my mother is not dead, you touch it, my mother's body is still hot."

Yun'er was dizzy, touched her mother's face in disbelief, touched her hands again, it was really hot, and looked at the eldest brother on the bed with a wry smile and then looked at her mother: "Why don't you tell me if you are not dead, why don't you go home, I'm so worried"

Bai Shi and Helian Jue glanced at each other, Helian Jue bowed his head, and Bai slowly poured out the true thoughts of the matter.

Yuqi looked at them, turned around and went out without a sound, walked back and forth outside, and by the way hit a few pheasants and two hares back to the stone cave, where the food is very ordinary and thrifty, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, naturally eating some wild things, not roasted or boiled, in short, these people will not die of hunger

In the cave, Yun'er knew the whole process of the matter, and after a long time, the charred corpse in the coffin was her mother's maid, but the mother let Yuqi save her, she felt like she had overturned the five-flavor bottle, and in just half a month, it can be said that she had tasted bitter and bitter.

Yu Qi entered the insight and saw that they were almost talking, and looked at her with a smile: "I see that you will be cured immediately when you go home from this illness."

"You also said that you know that your eldest brother and mother are not dead, but you just don't tell me, seeing my sad tears, you don't know that you feel sorry for me" Yun'er blushed a rare face and pouted.

Yuqi shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: "You can't blame me for this, it's your eldest brother who didn't let me say it, you have to blame him"

Yun'er looked down at her eldest brother, slanted her eyebrows at Yuqi, and sneered a few times: "Yo listen to my eldest brother so much, Nuonuo, why don't you be my sister-in-law?"

Yun'er stuck out her tongue: "Isn't this a joke, I hope she is my sister-in-law"

"You dead girl, and say, be careful that I beat you"

The two played around in the cave for a while, Bai Shi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the two of them who were like flowers and nodded with a smile, looked sideways at Helian Jue, and saw that his eyes had been staring at Yuqi, she smiled lightly: "You are also not a big boss, I look at Qiyu's girl is good, and she has a life-saving grace for you and me, although this one is not good-looking, but her temperament is still very good." ”

"Mother, I want to think about it"

Bai Shi heard Wei Leng at first glance, he was always dragging when he asked him to say kiss in the past, otherwise he would have gone out to hide for many days, this time it was rare to think about it, and he was happy in his heart: "What is there to think, it is better for a man to marry a woman and let me hold my grandchildren as soon as possible."

Helian Jue retracted his gaze and turned to look at the Bai family: "Mother, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, she's only fourteen years old, and there is still more than a year before Jidi" Even if she arrives at Jidi, I'm afraid she won't necessarily marry herself

Bai Shi was surprised, turned his eyes to look at Yuqi who was laughing, and sighed slightly: "If you like it, it doesn't hurt if we wait for another year and a half." ”

Helian Jue just smiled lightly, stopped talking, and closed his eyes to recuperate

The lunch was very simple, a pot of chicken and two rabbits were cooked, and even so, Yun'er was very happy to eat

Helian was definitely very bored with these things, and after eating a few bites lightly, he put down his chopsticks, Yuqi frowned slightly, no wonder he was not tired of eating these things every day.

The afternoon time flashed by, and seeing that it was about to be evening, Yun'er excitedly shouted: "Mother, big brother, let's go home, if my father knows that my mother and eldest brother are not dead, I will be very happy." ”

Helian Jue's gentle gaze instantly turned cold, and he sneered: "Hmph, the injuries on my body are all due to him, Yun'er, even if you go back, don't say that my mother and I are still alive, and in the first half of the month, the eldest brother will pick you up and leave that home." ”

Helian Yun is not a three- or five-year-old child even if she is stupid, although the eldest brother said vaguely, but she can hear some from it, as long as she can be with her mother and eldest brother, it doesn't matter if she goes there, she nods fiercely at the eldest brother and her mother: "En"

Yun'er reluctantly followed Yuqi out of the cave, and when she got to the bottom of the mountain, the carriage had stopped in place, and the two got into the carriage smoothly and returned home.

After dinner, Yu Qiping retired to welcome the spring, ran to the small kitchen to make some meat porridge, and packed some soft pastries from the house, and secretly sent them to the cave while people were unprepared.

Helian looked at the visitor in surprise: "Why are you here so late?"

Yuqi raised the ten boxes in his hand slightly: "I'm here to bring you food" put the ten boxes on the table, took out a casserole from it, opened the lid, and it was still steaming shallowly.

Yuqi took out a bowl from it and handed it to him in a few steps: "Eat"

Helian Jue saw that she didn't refuse, picked up the bowl and reached out to hand her the bowl after eating: "I want more." ”

A casserole of porridge did not enter his stomach for a quarter of an hour, even so, he didn't seem to be full, looked at the empty casserole, and shook his head with a sigh: "I haven't drunk such a delicious porridge for half a month." ”

Yuqi bowed her head slightly, in order to avoid the enemy outside, it was normal not to dare to go out

"How's the wound?"

"It's much better, I'm almost able to move in ten days and half a month"

Yuqi looked at him and nodded slightly: "Well, there are still some pastries on the table, eat some when you are hungry, I will deliver a meal in the evening, nothing I will leave first." ”

When Helian saw that she was leaving, his pupils constricted, and he hurriedly stopped her: "Princess"

Yuqi leaned sideways and asked, "Something?"

Helian Jue nodded: "There is something to say to the princess"

Yu Qi turned around and put the ten boxes in his hand on the table, walked back to the chair next to the bed and sat down, staring at him: "What do you say?" ”

Helian Jue pondered for a long time, raised his eyes and said slowly: "I beg the princess to take my mother and my sister for the time being."

"Take it in, you mean to let Aunt Bai and Yun'er go to Wujia Village?"

"Yes, only that place is safer, even Helian Wen would never have thought that my mother and my sister were hiding there" Helian Jue nodded, this place in Wujia Village was also the place he came to after thinking about it.

Yu Qi was puzzled: "Didn't Helian Wen know that the Bai family was dead, and the coffin had been buried, how could Aunt Bai still be in danger?"

He sneered a few times when he heard this: "The one who buried is not my mother, you know that he knows even better, he is now secretly sending someone to inquire about my mother's whereabouts, if it weren't for Yun'er's inability to eat these days and crying so sadly, I'm afraid Yun'er would have been surrounded by secret agents." ”

"Helian Wen actually knows that the Bai clan is not dead, so why is he still here?"

He woke up slightly: "If he knows that I am dead, you think there is no concubine in this mansion." ”

"Sister-in-law, oh~ I understand, if the master's mother dies, he can continue or raise the concubine to be the master's mother, so that those concubines are rightful sons-in-law, and he has nothing to lose, and he can remove the thorns in his eyes and the ruthless heart. ”

He sneered: "Not only that, he knows that my mother is not dead, and the secret investigation is nothing more than wanting the fèng blood jade in my mother's hand." ”

"What is that?" Yu Qi wrung her eyebrows, what was worth the old guy's painstaking efforts to find?

Yu Qi saw that his face was not very good, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't wait to bite her tongue off, since this thing can make a city lord think about it at night, then there must be some secret, why is she so stupid and still asking?

"Fèng blood jade is. ”

Seeing that he was about to say, she hurriedly interrupted him: "Oh yes, Wujia Village is far away from here, and that place is still a rural area, I don't know if the two of them can adapt to it, there must be someone to escort them along the way, you have to plan in advance"

"It's all arranged, as long as the princess can accept them, none of this is a problem"

Yuqi smiled lightly: "I'm with the two of them, it's not a short time for me to come out, just go back and see, we're all gone, you?"

"I'm looking for a place to do business incognito"

She laughed: "I thought you were going to take revenge?

Seeing her smile, there was a shallow smile on his resolute face: "Helian Wen cares more about his silver, his status, if I slowly defeat him with these two things, you say, this kind of revenge is not better than killing him with a knife?"

She lowered her eyebrows and thought about it: "Well, it's true, robbing his business and digging his corner, this can be regarded as cutting his flesh one by one and drinking his blood, hehe, it is worthy of both father and son, both ruthless." ”

"Thanks for the compliment"

Yuqi shook her head, this is their family and it has nothing to do with her, but there is one thing related to her, that is, business, which she is still very interested in.

"Since you want to set up another door, I also have plans to develop outside, why don't we work together?"

"Oh~ As far as I know, your breeding base earns you millions of taels of silver a year, but it's not enough, and those silver are not enough for you to spend?" He was also very curious about this princess, judging from the information of the investigation, the net income of several million taels a year was less.

"Who would dislike silver to pierce their hands? If you don't make money, that's a fool, don't ink, just a word if you can't do it." Yuqi rolled her eyes, it is more practical to keep more silver this year, what three good things are fair, it is not a reliable thing.

"I can't ask for it, when I get things sorted out here, I'm looking for you"

Yuqi waited until she was satisfied with the answer and smiled: "Okay, I'll go first." ”

Get up and carry ten boxes to go back happily, as Helian Jue said, I received the news on the night of the eighth day, the next day is the fifteenth day of the first month, on the night of Helian besieged the city there are lanterns, Yun'er pretended to enjoy the lanterns, and Yuqi went out of the house together, and the fruit went away, the next day Helian Wen took Yun'er's handwritten letters, saying that he missed his mother and eldest brother, became a nun and prayed for his mother and brother.

Just as Helian Wen was furious and looking for people everywhere, the three of them had already arrived at a nameless town, converted into three beggers for food, and ran all the way to Wujia Village.

The second watch continued in the evening
