Shen Ning squinted her eyes and discovered that not far away was the backyard door of Prince Dingyuan's Mansion. There were several guards standing at the door. Before she was discovered, she pulled Xiaoru and ran away quickly. She didn't let go until she turned the corner. Take a breath.
"Finally escaped." She patted her chest and took a deep breath.
"Miss, why are we running away?" Xiao Ru was puzzled.
Shen Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xiao Ru, didn't bother to explain to her, took her hand and left quickly.
It was too close to Prince Dingyuan's palace and not safe enough. She had to go as far as possible.
As for why you want to escape
She upset Chu Shaoyang's wedding. If she still stayed in the palace, when Chu Shaoyang came around, she would be the first person to come to settle the score!
She's not stupid, so she won't wait there to be dealt with by him.
As for where to escape, she hasn't decided yet.
You cannot go back to the Duke Protector's Mansion. If you go back, you will definitely be found by Chu Shaoyang's people.
The sky is open for birds to fly, and the sea is open for fish to leap. In this vast world, is there no place for her
Shen Ning was not worried at all, and she felt even more relaxed. When she thought of what Chu Shaoyang and Shen Biyun looked like now, she was like Zhu Bajie who had eaten ginseng fruit, and every pore was smiling.
After crossing a few streets, the surrounding suddenly became lively.
A crowd of people gathered in front of them, all talking about something.
"Ah, something interesting must have happened over there. Miss, let's go and take a look."
Xiao Ru looked excited and pulled Shen Ning into the crowd.
After squeezing to the front, I saw two children in the center of the crowd, a boy and a girl, about seven or eight years old. They had straw flags on their heads, and they were lying on a corpse covered with a straw mat on the ground, crying sadly.
On the ground next to him, four words were written crookedly on yellow clay: Sell yourself to bury your father.
The two children were sallow and thin, and their clothes were in rags. They cried so much that they had runny noses and tears, which aroused the sympathy of the onlookers, who threw coins and pieces of silver on the ground.
Xiaoru was even more sad and prepared to dig into his wallet to give him money.
"It's so pitiful that you lost your father at such a young age." She sniffed.
Suddenly, with a "clang" sound, a silver ingot fell in front of the two children, shining brightly and causing everyone to burst into uproar.
"This man is so generous, he actually got fifty taels of silver in one move!"
People praised and gave thumbs up to the generous person.
It was a tall man in black, with his back to Shen Ning and Xiao Ru. His back was slender and straight, like a green pine.
“These days, people are really stupid and have too much money.”
Shen Ning couldn't help but shook her head and sighed.
Everyone glared at her.
The man in black also turned around, and a cold light swept across Shen Ning's face.
"Miss, please don't say that. Look at how pitiful these two children are." Xiao Ru was startled and quickly tugged on Shen Ning's sleeves and secretly stuffed her with a few coins, "Let's give them too." Make some money."
"Yes, they are so pitiful."
Shen Ning said she was pitiful, but with a smile on her face, she didn't show any signs of pity for the two children.
Xiao Ru looked embarrassed. Seeing everyone looking at the eldest lady sideways, she wished she could reach out her hands to cover the smile on the eldest lady's face.
"Little brother, little sister, is the dead man under the mat your father?"
Shen Ning jingled the copper plate and stepped forward with a smile. The two children looked at her warily and said nothing.
