The black gold falls in the west, and the long street is bustling.
The officers and soldiers were dressed in military uniforms, with short knives at their waists. The blades were sharp and gleamed in the sunlight, emitting a creepy cold light.
Common people tried to avoid the officers and soldiers and took detours. But when they couldn't escape anyway, they raised their hands high and allowed the soldiers to search them, hesitating and trying to beg for mercy.
"Sir, I really have done nothing wrong. I am just a small businessman..."
The officer pinched his face and looked at him from left to right, then pushed him out and said coldly, "Get lost!"
Several people in a row were like this.
Through the thin car curtain, Song Lingzhi could clearly hear the whispers coming from outside the car, and everyone was talking to each other.
"It seems like he is looking for someone. I heard it's a woman."
"I heard there were four of them, and there seemed to be a master with two maids."
"Could it be that some girl ran away with someone?"
"Bah! What a filthy thing, you're just thinking about such low-class things! Why don't you go and work for me!"
The warmth of the sunlight that remained on his fingertips disappeared completely, and the interior of the car was dark. Song Lingzhi leaned against the wall of the car, feeling his heart pounding and sweating profusely.
Shen Yan got the news so quickly.
The Song Mansion was right in front of him, and he had just seen Mother Liu... Song Lingzhi tried his best to suppress the panic that was rising in his heart and clenched his fists.
The four of them were very conspicuous, and if they were interrogated by officers and soldiers, they would be exposed.
Thinking quickly, Song Lingzhi took off the mandarin duck jade pendant from his neck and put it in Bai Zhi's palm: "I just saw Mother Liu, she should be around here."
As the companion of Old Madam Song, Madam Liu had a special status. Whenever she went out of the house, she was accompanied by maids and servants.
As long as she could meet someone from the Song residence, she would still have a chance.
I just don’t know where Mother Liu went. She disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Zhi nodded: "I understand, but I don't know where you are going, young lady?"
Song Lingzhi frowned: "I..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a roar from outside the carriage, and the sound of swords and sabers flashed and gleamed with silver light.
The officers and soldiers, holding sabers, walked towards the carriage with a haughty look on their faces: "What are you doing? Get down!"
Qiuyan's face was covered in dirt, but she smiled and said, "Our master..."
"-lady!"
The carriage curtain was rolled up, and Bai Zhi's hands were covered in blood. She said anxiously, "Why don't you leave? Madam is about to give birth! Hurry!"
It was dark inside the car, and a tall, raised black shadow could be vaguely seen.
The officers and soldiers were disgusted by the bad luck and hurriedly stepped back two or three steps, covering their mouths and noses with their hands: "You can leave, but you have to..."
Before he could finish his words, Qiuyan quickly drove the carriage, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and rode away. The sound of horse hooves splashed up countless flying dust.
There are several medical clinics along Chang Street.
The officers and soldiers were not curious, they just cursed Song Lingzhi's carriage and horses, and hurried to check the next person with their swords in hand.
The carriage went farther and farther away, and the Song Mansion was left far behind.
Inside the carriage, Bai Zhi collapsed to the ground powerlessly, sweating all over her body.
The bulging "belly" was just a burden on the carriage, and the blood stains on the hands were also rouge and powder.
But her hands were already full of dirt, and when mixed with rouge, they became sticky and greasy, and looked really disgusting.
