Marrying to Support My Husband, For the Sake of Our Child

Chapter 317: Encounter with a traitor

After Meiyi disappeared, Meimei did fall ill. She didn't think it was because of Meiyi, but rather that she caught a cold accidentally. She had a fever, a headache, dizziness, and loss of appetite. Later, she developed a cough. When she was lying in bed unable to move, she was surprised to find that this was her first serious illness since she came to this other world!

No wonder Xu Junying was so nervous, frowning every day and staying by her side. Lingxuzi and Zhang Jingyun protected her too well, and gave her a fixed amount of pills every year, and they never stopped. But she still fell down and refused to take medicine. She knew the pain of illness, but now she wanted to feel pain, and she felt better when she was in pain.

Meijuan and Akang ran to Guiyun Villa and told Zhang Jingyun that their mother was dying. Zhang Jingyun was frightened and hurriedly followed the two children back to Xu's house. After checking Meimei's pulse, they found out that she was deceived by the children. They left some pills and advised Meimei a few words before leaving. Meimei sighed and finally started to take the medicine. Xu Junying silently helped her drink water. A complicated look flashed across her eyes. Meimei leaned against the bed weakly and said, "I am a mother, an adult, and the wife of the marquis in the eyes of the world, but I don't want to be so serious. I want to be willful, want to act like a spoiled child, and do whatever I want. I dare not do this in front of you, but in front of others!"

Xu Junying was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and hugged her tightly in his arms: "Meimei, as long as you are fine, you can do whatever you want, I am here! No matter how much trouble you make, I will support you!"

Seven or eight days later, Ah Heng ran into Tsinghua Courtyard in the middle of the night like a possessed man, knocked on the upper door, and took out an embroidered handkerchief to show his parents:

"My child is not mistaken. This one is not the one I tied that day. That one had words written on it. They said: Where are you? Come back soon! This one has no words on it, and it has roses embroidered on it!"

Xu Junying asked: "Which of them likes roses?"

"It's a beauty!"

Ah Heng's tone was full of surprise: "Meiyi likes lotus flowers. She hurriedly took Meijuan's handkerchief and tied it on Xiaohei to report that she is safe!"

Meimei suppressed her joy and said, "But why didn't she write two words back? Could it be that Xiao Hei went to the concubine's room and took the handkerchief out?"

Ah Heng smiled: "Mother! The handkerchief is tied to the paw, not held in the mouth. I just asked Meijuan, and her handkerchiefs are not repeated in color. This handkerchief disappeared a few days ago!"

Xu Junying comforted Meimei: "There are troops everywhere searching, and the merchant ships are searching... We have used all the methods we should use, but there is no trace. You also said that we believe our good intentions will not go wrong! She didn't write because she happened to be in a place without writing brushes. When she met Xiao Hei, she could only use a handkerchief to report the news. As long as she can keep herself safe, she will be considered filial!"

Meimei nodded: "I hope there will be some more definite news... Your subordinates are not that good, are they? They couldn't even find a girl who has never been out of the house!"

Xu Junying was ashamed: "This - I don't know how this little girl did it!"

Ah Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, father and mother. I'll ask Xiao Hei to go out and look for her. She shouldn't be far away. Let her give us directions so we can take her home!"

The couple didn't make a fuss after hearing the news. Their mood gradually improved. Then they realized that Ah Heng and Min'er's wedding was approaching, so they had to cheer themselves up and arrange Ah Heng's wedding and welcome the new bride.

The Xu Mansion was renamed, the Hou Mansion became the Duke Mansion, Ah Heng and Zhao Min got married. At this time, Xu Junying's good intention of sending people to track down the mansion had already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away.

The first time Xiao Hei found her was by accident. The second time he flew over her head, she dodged him and did not whistle to call him down.

It's not that she doesn't love her parents and brothers and sisters. Her family is the happiest family in the world. If she didn't have to grow up, she would like to stay in that family forever, and enjoy the love of her parents, the care of her brother and the support of her younger siblings. But she still grew up with beautiful dreams, but her dreams were shattered and her heart was broken. The identity of the Crown Princess that she had been identified with since she was a child was suddenly replaced and she became a concubine. Not only did she look humiliated, but she also made her parents lose face. She loved the Crown Prince and could bend down to be a concubine for him, but what about her strong-willed mother? She didn't even allow her own maid to be a concubine, so how could she tolerate her own daughter being a concubine? Meiyi didn't allow others to ridicule her noble mother, and she couldn't imagine her mother looking at her with disappointment. No matter how good the Crown Prince was, he couldn't compare to her beloved parents!

She did not follow Meijuan's suggestion to go to Guiyun Villa, but went to Bishui Villa. It was a hundred miles outside the city, and who among the Xu brothers and sisters who loved riding horses was not familiar with it? She and Meijuan had tried to jump over the place where they jumped when they were ten years old. When the two sisters lived in the villa, they were more playful than boys, but they didn't let anyone know. She chose to jump into the river because she was actually afraid of death. In May, the river was turbulent. Even if she was good at swimming, she was small and weak, and there was little chance of survival. But this matter had to be resolved, and she made two preparations. The first was to die for love, and the second was that if she really couldn't die, it was God who let her live, so she would leave far away and never meet the prince again!

Let fate decide. If you don’t die, just disappear with blessings and wishes. I wish you happiness and hope to see your dear family again one day!

When she jumped into the river, she held the horse's neck tightly, but she was too weak and was still washed away. She fainted for a short time and felt that she was washed away by the rapids, but soon a force pulled her back. It was her brown horse! The pony her father gave her when she was eight years old, and she grew up with it. The brown horse bit her clothes, took her out of the water, and dragged her to the shore. She quickly woke up. There were more and more noisy voices above the shore. She heard the cries of her beautiful wife and the calls of her brothers. One after another, people jumped into the water from a high place like her on horseback. She didn't say a word, she shed tears, and lay on the back of the brown horse, driving it to run fast in the forest. When she reached a place where the water was calm, she let the horse carry her to swim to the opposite shore, and found a path to leave the river far away and gallop south.

She brought enough banknotes with her and had a goal in mind: Lingnan, Liuzhou. My mother said that there was an uncle named Cen who lived there. He once saw my mother sending a caravan to the south to deliver gifts. A few months later, the caravan came back with a lot of items, all Lingnan local gifts. My mother smiled very happily. When she distributed local gifts, she always told people: These are the good things sent by my grandmother's family! My mother's grandmother's family name was Cen, and she remembered the place name clearly.

He wore a mask, changed his name, bought a set of blue cloth clothes, and looked inconspicuous, just like a small servant sent by a wealthy family to deliver letters to other places. In the past, he and his beautiful wives would pester Bai Zhan and Bao Ju to talk about things. He knew that the most inconspicuous person was this kind of honest child with a simple and ordinary appearance.

I stayed overnight and set off at dawn, asking for information along the way south. One day, I was walking on the road and met a caravan full of goods. The carriages were tightly sealed with oilcloth, and I didn't know what it was. The carriages behind were also piled with a lot of goods, but they seemed quite relaxed. The four or five carriages in the front were the most struggling, obviously loaded with heavy objects. It had just rained heavily, and the road was muddy. The heavy carriages in front passed by, and the muddy pits on the road became more difficult to pass. The third carriage was finally stuck in the pit and could not get out. No matter how the driver pulled the horse, or how the people behind drove, the wheels did not move. Standing next to him was a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a slender figure, red lips and white teeth, and a moon-white embroidered robe that made him look even more handsome and elegant. He should be the owner of the goods, right? He was seen frowning his handsome brows, shaking his head and sighing at the incompetence of the drivers, as if he was afraid that the mud on the ground would stain his shoes. He stood there motionless, very anxious. However, both he and the horse were not able to keep up. As the sun was getting higher, his own team could not pass, and other cars and horses were coming up from behind, urging him very harshly and annoyingly. The young man's face gradually darkened, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Meiyi was watching with great interest. She rode past the young man on horseback and could not help but sneer, "Who taught you how to line up? The light vehicles are always in the front. This is the first time I've seen a heavy vehicle in the front. Could it be that the heirlooms on your vehicle are treasures?"

The young man in white robe turned around and looked Meiyi up and down, looking at both the man and the horse, before he bowed and said, "My dear brother, you are polite! There is no treasure on this cart, just some medicinal herbs. I didn't have time to check carefully when I set off from the inn just now, so I messed up the order. Now I don't care about that, this wheel can't be moved..."

Meiyi joked, "Two horses are not enough to pull, we need to push harder. If you go down and push together, we will be able to get up!"

The boy blushed: "I accidentally hurt my leg a while ago, and I can't exert any strength..."

Oh, so that's how it is, no wonder. Meiyi looked at him carefully, blushing every time she spoke. He was so handsome and tender, maybe he was a girl like her

Looking back and forth, the young man's team was strange. There were more than a dozen carriages, but only four or five drivers came to push and pull the carriages. The rest of them took their places and sat in the carriages to watch the fun. They didn't want to move and didn't intend to pay attention to the vehicles stuck in the pit. If these people were servants in the young man's family, it would be bullying the master. If they were not family members and were hired to drive the carriages, it would be playing tricks to please the master. But the young man didn't seem to realize this. He just wanted to get the carriage out of the pit. How could he move without manpower? What a fool.

Meiyi jumped off the horse, walked to the pit next to the carriage, squatted down to check, then stood up and said to the boy: "Can't you ask more people to come and push the cart?"

The young man replied, "Those people would not move without money. The money I paid them was only enough for them to be responsible for transporting the goods on the truck to the dock."

"Then where's your silver? If you can afford to buy so many goods, it's impossible that you don't have any silver. Did you spend it all?"

"No, my butler suddenly disappeared, and I don't have any silver with me!"

"Oh my God, you are so..."

Meiyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She listened to the voice and observed closely. She knew that the young man was genuine and could not be a girl. A man could not do such a small thing, so she let him stay here and bask in the sun. Not wanting to chat with him, Meiyi got on the horse and prepared to leave. The young man in white robe sincerely asked, "Brother, if you have any silver, can you lend it to me? I will pay you back double!"

Meiyi opened her mouth and said: Borrow money? That's wishful thinking. After borrowing, we will go our separate ways. How can I ask him to pay it back? Besides, she firmly believes in the old saying that wealth should not be exposed. How could she let others know that she has money on her

He bowed back and said coldly: "I'm sorry, brother. I'm just delivering a letter for my master. My master didn't give me any money to take with him, so I can't help you. You should think of a solution yourself!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
