Chapter 349: Yuqian runs away
"What's wrong? But is there a banquet at home? Yu Ren thought that the princess was going to invite him back to accompany him, and he couldn't help frowning, he didn't like to drink with a large group of women. Although most of this group were still men, they were all his men, and he didn't need to accompany him.
"It's not. It's Miss Yuqian who said goodbye without saying goodbye! The steward whispered in Yu Ren's ear.
Yu Ren stood up suddenly, "Yuqian? Where did she go? ”
The steward shook his head. "She didn't say anything, she just left a note saying that we didn't have to go to her."
Yu Ren frowned, put down a piece of lamb leg in his hand, and hurried home without even wiping his hand.
Yu Yuqian is a relatively unassertive woman, and she is more weak than her two senior sisters. In the past, it was the master and sister who always took care of her, and she hardly had to make up her mind about any important matters. After Liu Ziming and Huang Yudie died, she has been following Yu Ren again, and there is no major matter that she needs to decide.
This was the first time she had made such a big decision. She hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to leave.
In Yu Ren's heart, he actually cares a lot about Yu Yuqian. It's just that because he has married two ladies, and now he has married a princess, he can't think of a good way to arrange Yu Yuqian for a while.
At this time, he suddenly heard that she was gone, and Yu Ren's heart was still very sad. However, it is more anxious and worried!
Yu Yuqian is one of the main leaders of the Wenxiang Sect. At this time, the rebellion in Shandong had just ended, and although on the surface, the imperial court did not carry out a large-scale purge, and it also showed a non-reproachful attitude towards the Wenxiang sect. But Yu Ren is very clear. For those leaders of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the spies of the Jinyi Guard did not let go of any of them.
Yu Yuqian was so safe in the past because she had been by Yu Ren's side, and Yu Ren had changed her identity. And those Jinyi guards who investigated and dealt with the traitorous party naturally would not have thought that the number one hero of the extermination of the Wenxiang Sect would harbor the rebels. Even if there were doubts, Yu Ren had already appeased them with silver. But as soon as she's gone now, it's dangerous.
Yu Yuqian quietly left Yanzhou. She couldn't stand it anymore. Every day, I watch my beloved man be intimate with other women, but he is polite to himself. Her heart is like a sour plum, it's really sour, but she can't have a seizure. Because they are a legitimate husband and wife, and they have no name with him, not even a promise.
When she saw Yu Ren looking at Zhao Rui with miserly and loving eyes on the boat, Yu Yuqian finally made up her mind to leave.
At that moment, she really understood what a loving gaze was. She used to think that Yu Ren loved her. But when she saw Yu Ren staring at Zhao Rui, she knew that this man had never loved her.
Maybe he regarded her as a friend, or even a sister, but he never regarded her as a lover, that kind of affection and infatuation for his lover, she had never seen it in Yu Ren's eyes. All she saw was apology and pity.
She knew that this was not real love, not the kind of love that her heart wanted. So, she decided to leave this man, the man who had once made her obsessed and unable to extricate herself.
But where will I go after leaving him? She didn't know.
Yu Yuqian left Yanzhou City without a goal.
After leaving Yanzhou, she felt the desolation of the ground in Shandong. In the past, although there was a famine, she could occasionally see a few people popping up in some villages, but now, she walked more than a hundred miles in a row, but she hardly saw a single figure, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the most seen animal was a wolf.
Fortunately, it was not the first time she had gone out, and she had prepared enough food for herself before leaving the city. The horse was a random horse from the manger of the Horse House, and although it was not a horse, it still saved her a lot of leg strength. In order to prevent wild wolves from attacking, Yu Yuqian would burn a few fires around every night when she slept in the open, and then climbed to a tree to find a safe and comfortable trunk to rest.
After coming out for two or three days, Yu Yuqian finally thought of a place to go - the capital. The reason she gave herself was that the second senior sister's biological parents were killed by the master in Beijing, and she would definitely go to Beijing to investigate, and in Beijing, maybe she would meet the second senior sister. In fact, in her subconscious, she hoped to meet Yu Ren. Because she knew that Yu Ren was going to the capital next. But in her heart she didn't want to admit this fact.
However, people are often like this, the more you want to forget something and some people, the more you can't forget, the more you don't want to see people, the easier it is to run into them.
Yu Yuqian traveled for about seven or eight days, and finally got out of Shandong and entered the range of Zhili. After entering Zhili, the environment was immediately very different. The villages and towns here are very prosperous, no longer as desolate as Shandong, thousands of miles uninhabited.
When she came to a relatively large town, Yu Yuqian decided to rest here for the night.
After walking for so many days, I have been sleeping in the open air, and my body is already covered with dust. Yu Yuqian must be a girl, and her pursuit of beauty is innate. It was easy to get to a place with an inn, and she decided to stay here for the night and clean herself up a little.
Yu Yuqian casually found a slightly larger inn in the town and asked for an upper room. She carried a lot of gold and silver with her. These are all private money she has saved in the past.
The town is close to the canal and has a wharf, so there are many merchants coming and going from north to south. Although Shandong has just experienced a major turmoil, it does not seem to have been greatly affected here, and there are still many merchants coming and going.
Yu Yuqian washed up a little in the guest room, changed out of the underwear she had been wearing for many days, and took a nap on the bed for a while.
Seeing that it was nearly dusk, she packed her purse and prepared to go out for a bite to eat.
At the same time, two passenger boats were parked on the docks of the town, the two boats that Zhao Rui had brought from Songjiang. Yu Ren was also on that boat at this time.
"Do you want to get off the boat and take a walk? After sitting on the boat for so long, you should be tired! Yu Ren asked Zhao Rui thoughtfully. Since learning that Zhao Rui had her own child, Yu Ren suddenly became more careful. In the past, he had always been very casual in life, but now he has suddenly become more demanding and high-standard.
Of course, none of this is difficult for him. Material things can be solved with silver, and what he has now is silver.
Zhao Rui stretched, "Forget it!" We stopped the boat at noon to rest. ”
"No, I can't. Pregnant women should maintain proper exercise, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth to the baby when it comes to delivery. Yu Ren said with an experienced look. In fact, this is what he once heard when he occasionally heard two neighbors chatting. He probably knows this when it comes to pregnancy.
"Alright then!" Zhao Rui obediently stretched out her hand and asked her husband to help her up.
"I'll go out with Sister Rui!" Zhu Yueyue on the side jumped up and said. Her husband was going to Beijing, so Zhu Yueyue naturally had to accompany her. However, she did not rank her princess, but still pretended to be one of Yu Ren's personal bodyguards as before. Because she knew that Yu Ren didn't like her pomp.
Yu Yuqian, who went out to eat, was sitting at a roadside noodle stall eating her beef noodles, when she saw a few young people walking from afar. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of most of the people around them. Because these young men are not only gorgeously dressed and look rich, but they are also all handsome. Even in such a large town with a north-south canal, it is rare.
Yu Yuqian followed everyone's gaze, and then saw the man she wanted to forget but always couldn't forget.
At this time, this man was surrounded by a group of women, not to mention his wife Zhao Rui and the newly married princess Zhu Yueyue, as well as two of his beautiful bodyguards, Ruolan Ruomei sisters. Yu Ren talked and laughed with them while walking, looking like a harmonious family.
"I'm afraid he forgot about himself!" Yu Yuqian thought in her heart. When she quietly left Yanzhou, she was still looking forward to Yu Ren chasing her! Even if he didn't chase it personally, even if he sent someone! However, there was none. Not even a single subordinate came.
This made Yu Yuqian, who was fragile, even more sad.
