Ji Man nodded, reached out to accept the divorce letter, then raised his head, looked at Ning Yuxuan calmly and said, "Sang Yu thanked Lord Hou."
Mo Yuhou was slightly taken aback, lowered his eyes, clenched his hands, and said in a low voice, "You are going with ghosts for nothing."
Gui Bai was already standing beside the carriage not far away, and Wick was still following. The rain was not small, on the contrary, it was bigger. It was so heavy that the blood on the execution ground was poured all over the ground. The blood flowed over and slightly wet Ji Man's shoes.
The abandoned woman, whose family was ruined, naturally had no better place to go. Jiman's mind is a little confused, and he needs to find a place to rest. Nie Sangyu is worthless now, and in a sense she is a disaster. Ning Yuxuan no longer needs to use her, so Ji Man plans to go with Guibai.
However, the physically disabled and psychopathic second prince spoke again, looked at the carriage in the distance, and said with a smile, "Where is Yuxuan planning to send Sangyu?"
Ning Yuxuan turned around, frowned and didn't know how to answer.
Ning Mingjie next to him said calmly: "The Nie family is dead, and it is pitiful to leave Sangyu alone and helpless. Errong and her are handkerchiefs. I wonder if it is possible to take Sangyu back to Jingzhou to take care of Errong."
Nie Qingyun raised his eyes to look at Ning Errong, Ning Errong covered his stomach, wrapped his cloak and said, "That's not bad, Jingzhou is far away from the capital, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince won't worry about an abandoned woman."
Holding the umbrella for Zhao Li, Peng Yue also nodded and said: "Er Rong is such a kind-hearted person, she really needs to be taken care of when she is pregnant. Let Sang Yu go."
Zhao Li sighed silently, pursed his lips and said, "That's all."
A woman's benevolence is the most undesirable thing, he knows. It's just that it's rare for her to make a request to him, so she can't refuse it too. Just as he promised, he still glanced at the guard next to him, and touched a dragon-shaped jade pendant on his waist.
Ji Man glanced up inadvertently, and felt that the jade pendant looked familiar, but he had seen it somewhere.
The bodies of the Nie family members were dragged away, wrapped in straw mats and thrown into a mass grave outside the city. Because it is a family of criminal officials, they are not even allowed to enter the graves of their ancestors. The Empress Dowager Huizhuang committed suicide in the palace and was buried with Zhaoyi ceremony. The third prince was demoted to a commoner, his body was buried at will, and a stone tablet with no surname was erected.
Amidst the changing situation in the capital, the second prince temporarily replaced Yuxi and threatened the Qing Dynasty. Countless people were sent to prison and exiled, but those who had been unknown in the court suddenly rose to the top.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Ji Man. She took the wick and got into Errong's carriage. In the heavy rain, she never looked back.
Ning Yuxuan quietly watched the carriage go away without saying a word.
"Follow me from now on."
On the carriage, Er Rong held her cold hand tightly: "Forget about other things, come with me."
Nie Qingyun was still wearing prison clothes, sitting opposite her, his eyes were bloodshot.
"How can I forget." Ji Man closed his eyes slightly: "Errong, after going to an inn to change clothes, I will ride with my brother, and you will take a carriage alone."
"Why?" Er Rong squeezed her hand: "What do you want to do?"
Ji Man raised the corner of his mouth: "If I were the second prince, I would never let the two remnants of the Nie family leave the capital alive."
Er Rong was startled, and suddenly panicked: "He took the imperial decree of the former emperor, so he can't say nothing."
"In front of the imperial power, whoever keeps his word will lose his head." Ji Man took a deep breath, looked at her and said, "It's beyond my expectation that you can come to save brother."
I thought that today, Nie Qingyun would also be doomed.
Errong glanced at Qingyun, pursed his lips and said, "He thought I was stupid, and I'm not someone who doesn't understand anything. I was still very sad when I went back, but once Dad told me, I understood what he was thinking gone."
Ji Man nodded: "It's best if you can understand each other, brother also wants to survive?"
Nie Qingyun clenched his fists: "If you don't survive, how can you feel sorry for Er Rong who came all the way for me?"
"Then let's stop at the inn in front, let people buy clothes to change, and hire an extra carriage to go on the road." Ji Man squeezed his completely soaked clothes, and said softly: "I will listen to my arrangement later. yes."
Er Rong glanced at Qing Yun nervously: "Is there anything wrong?"
"It depends on luck." Ji Man smiled bitterly: "This is escape from a tiger's mouth, and we don't have much help."
The wheels of the wagon suddenly got stuck in the puddle and stopped. The three people in the car were all shocked, but the lamp core and Bai Zhi outside got down from the carriage behind, holding an umbrella and said: "Masters, come down first, we have to pull the car out of the puddle."
Ji Man took a look at the curtain of the car, and there happened to be an inconspicuous inn next to the carriage. Due to the heavy rain, there were no people on the street.
"Just change it here."
Er Rong also nodded, and they entered the inn, asking Xiao Er to lead the horse to feed grass first, and then buy a carriage.
Both Ji Man and Nie Qingyun were in a mess. Fortunately, the shopkeeper led them upstairs without asking any questions, and enthusiastically helped them get two sets of ordinary clothes.
"We'll go downstairs and get in the car later. Er Rong will take one by himself, and my brother and I will take the front one." Ji Man was wearing dry clothes, sucking his nose and frowning, planning: "It would be great if someone could help us, and we can fish in troubled waters." .”
As a group of them, she and Nie Qingyun could only be in the same car, with thicker clothes and a special cotton helmet, ready to jump off the car at any time. It would be best not to implicate Er Rong. When forced to do so, she has to use jumping into the river to abscond. She still doesn't consider the option of jumping off a cliff. After all, she is not a heroine.
Er Rong still felt unsafe, and was hesitating, when he heard the horse in the backyard of the inn neighing as if it had been led by someone.
Horse thief? Ji Man was taken aback, and hurried to open the window to look.
There were several people standing in the backyard, three coachmen, a man in coarse clothes, the other four were women, two wives and two maidservants.
Why does this configuration look familiar? Ji Man raised his eyebrows.
The groom harnessed the horses, and there were three carriages in total. A man and a woman sat in the first car, only the woman with a protruding belly sat in the middle car, and the rest of the maids sat in the last car.
What a coincidence, why is it the same as what she thought? Ji Man laughed dryly, and opened the door, as expected, Gui Bai was standing outside the door.
"Madam, please don't worry." Gui Bai cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou has already made arrangements, you can leave after dark."
Both Ning Errong and Nie Qingyun were slightly startled, leaning against the door and looking at Gui Bai. Fortunately, there is no one in this inn, and the lobby is empty.
"I'm no longer Madam." Ji Man smiled at him: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your great kindness."
Gui Bai pursed his lips slightly: "Actually, Master Hou..."
"Master Hou still protects me, I know, thank you." Ji Man smiled, her eyes were still a little red for some reason.
Protect Nie Sangyu? So open the city gate, let the third prince fall short, and then the Nie family will be buried with him? He protected her well, so at the end of the Nie family, she was the only one left watching by the execution ground, instead of kneeling in the rain, she just watched the whole family being executed with open eyes.
I hate this kind of man the most, if you fucking want to protect him, you can protect him thoroughly, okay? Protect one, let the whole family die, what kind of way to protect the law
It's also because women in this era are too weak, so these machismo people think that you don't need to participate in anything, just hide behind me.
If it wasn't because this was their territory, she would also want these people to be unharmed and the whole family to die.
She had always lived with the purpose of fulfilling Nie Sangyu's wish, but after experiencing such a killing today, Ji Man suddenly felt that she didn't know what that little girl Nie Sangyu wanted to fulfill anyway, so she might as well fulfill her own wish first.
Originally, I didn't have any wishes, so I wish I could go back to modern times earlier. But now, she suddenly wants to do something.
The three carriages left the inn and headed out of the city. Ji Man and the others waited in the inn until it was dark, then followed Gui Bai out of the small gate, boarded a large carriage, and went to a post station on the outskirts of the city to rest.
"Let's continue on our way when the rain stops tomorrow." Nie Qingyun held Er Rong's icy hand, pursed his lips slightly and said.
Jiman nodded in agreement. The three of them divided into two rooms to rest, and they will get on the car and leave Beijing at dawn tomorrow.
When it was dark, Ji Man lit the lamp in the room and waited for someone to come. The rain outside has lightened and the windows are half open.
When the wick was half burned, Ning Yuxuan finally lived up to her expectations and came in through the window.
"Waiting for me?" The man with wet shoulders walked up behind her and asked softly.
"I know Master Hou will come." Ji Man turned her head and looked at him with a sweet smile.
Mo Yuhou was slightly taken aback, feeling a slight pain in his heart.
"Aren't you sad?" He sat down beside him and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
More than a hundred members of the Nie family died in the execution ground, which has been discussed by everyone today. She didn't know why he opened the city gate, she thought that he would hate him.
"It's sad, but I think it's thanks to Lord Hou that I can save my life now." Ji Man looked at Ning Yuxuan, stretched out his hand and gently pulled him: "It's good to be alive."
Nie Sangyu, who had always been calm and self-possessed, now held his hand like this with red eyes. Ning Yuxuan's heart moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms.
"I'll find a chance to pick you up."
Ji Man smiled silently, and said softly, "How long will Lord Hou keep Sang Yu waiting?"
"It won't be too long, just live with Errong." Mo Yuhou closed his eyes: "This time, I finally don't have to let you down."
All the forces behind him have collapsed, and Nie Sangyu is now a cleaner person than he was before. Ji Man knew that all the precautions, suspicions, concerns and hesitation that had arisen because of the Nie family were gone now. Ning Yuxuan was still willing to come, just to explain one point.
He fell in love with Nie Sangyu now.
Despite the background of the Nie family, he fell in love with the person himself. In other words, the initiative was handed over to her.
