His head hit the wall of the carriage with a bang, and a few house slaves who followed him firmly blocked the door, and the carriage ran out quickly. Ji Man sat up covering his head, looked at the people in front of him and said, "Don't be so rude, I will cooperate well."
It wasn't the first time for the house slaves to do this. They all sat without squinting, as if they didn't hear Ji Man's words.
Where is Liu Hanyun going to send her? She shouldn't dare to kill people, at most send her hundreds of miles away, and just don't let her go back. Thinking of it this way, it was a little easier, just because she didn't want to send Changjun Wang away from the capital, so Liu Hanyun did her a favor.
Along the way, Ji Man quietly touched the broken silver and copper coins on his body, and stuffed them into his boots little by little. As a kidnapped person, she was very honest, leaning in the corner motionless, looking at the house slaves blankly.
It was getting dark, and Ning Yuxuan was about to go to bed, when a maid brought the purse from Ji Man.
"Master asked the maidservant to hand it over to Lord Hou." The servant girl said, "Say he went out with Madam."
Go out with Liu Hanyun? Ning Yuxuan paused, took the purse and opened it, inside was the concentric knot that she bought when she went to the street together.
What is this trying to tell him? Ning Yuxuan chuckled, she still kept such an inconspicuous thing, he thought he was the only one who was stupid. How could a woman who could even steal his seal keep this.
"Master Hou, do you want to visit Master?" Gui Bai asked softly.
"Go and see what to do?" Mo Yuhou casually threw the things beside the pillow: "Isn't she smart? She can use anything to calculate, so she can naturally have her own way."
Gui Bai nodded, and honestly went to turn off the lights in the room.
"Wait." Ning Yuxuan shouted in a low voice.
Gui Bai turned his head and looked at his master in the darkness suspiciously: "What?"
After being silent for a while, Ning Yuxuan lifted the quilt: "Let's go to Linghan Courtyard, I haven't seen Xi'er for a long time."
"Yes." Gui Bai felt that the recent master seemed to be capricious, but he didn't understand these complicated things, so he just listened to his orders.
Liu Hanyun hadn't slept yet, holding Xi'er in his arms and waiting for news from outside. She originally wanted to settle it once and for all, but the master still has someone behind her back, she can't keep her mouth shut, she can only send it as far as she can. If someone blames it, she can just pretend that she doesn't know about it. One son has already taken most of Hou Ye's mind, no matter what, multiple men can't mess up the water again.
"Yun'er." Ning Yuxuan stepped into the door and saw her, slightly surprised: "Are you back?"
Liu Hanyun was startled, then overjoyed, hugged Xi'er and went up to meet him: "Why is Lord Hou here? I have been in the mansion all along and have never been out before, so why did you call me back?"
It was rare that he came to the backyard on his own initiative today, Liu Hanyun was very happy, put down Xi'er and pushed towards Marquis Mo Yu: "Call me father."
Xi'er looked at Ning Yuxuan blankly, took a few steps back, then retreated behind Liu Hanyun, grabbed her skirt and did not speak.
Ning Yuxuan squatted down and touched Xi'er's head, then softly asked Liu Hanyun: "Did you go out today?"
"No." Liu Hanyun shook his head, at most he didn't go through the back door.
Ning Yuxuan paused, then looked back at the door, Gui Bai had already come from the backyard, cupped his hands and said: "Master is out of the house, but he hasn't come back yet."
Liu Hanyun's heart skipped a beat.
"Where did master go? It's already dark." Ning Yuxuan asked with a smile.
Gui Bai shook his head and glanced at Liu Hanyun.
"Where Master is going, I don't even know." Liu Hanyun lowered his eyes and said, "I only spoke a few words with him in the backyard, and then came back."
The smile on Mo Yuhou's face faded a little, he stood up and looked at Liu Hanyun and said, "Yun'er, I don't like people lying to me."
Liu Hanyun straightened his back, pursed his lips and said, "I am not lying."
"The master is a very important person to the son." Ning Yuxuan looked at her and said, "Just like your brother is to you, he is also a very important person."
This is a threat, Liu Hanyun's heart is cold, her brother Liu Rufeng is about to be transferred to the capital to be a Beijing official, and it is Mo Yuhou who is handling related matters, and because of her relationship, it will probably be done soon. The adoptive mother is old and needs someone to take care of her. She can't take care of her, so she counts on her brother to come to Beijing soon.
It's just that Hou Ye didn't have any evidence to say that she had something to do with Master Li's residence, so why did he just threaten her like this? Liu Hanyun frowned, rubbing her handkerchief and didn't know what to do, Xi'er next to her didn't like the atmosphere even more, she turned around and stumbled into the nurse's arms.
"Since you're not lying, then I'll go find it myself." Ning Yuxuan smiled and pinned Liu Hanyun's temples behind his ears: "You have a good rest."
"Master Hou!" Liu Hanyun's eyes widened in confusion, "It's already getting so late, do you want to find it by yourself?"
"En." Ning Yuxuan walked away without looking back.
Liu Hanyun panicked, not because the Marquis would bring his master back, but because the master was so important to the Marquis at that time? So what are the women in this courtyard
"Go and show Lord Hou the way." Liu Hanyun slowly squatted down, and softly said to Chunpi next to him: "It's the direction of Jinzhou."
"Master." Chunpi's eyes turned red: "What to do, you need to show the way. If Master Hou wants to find it, let him look for it. Anyway, he may not be able to find it. If such a scourge is brought back, he might still bite him." Take a bite."
Liu Hanyun smiled wryly, hugged Xi'er from the nanny's hand and said in a low voice: "You can't just watch him search for so long in vain, he will be found out one day. Hearing what Lord Hou said, he probably knows that he has something to do with me." Might as well just leave it like this, so as not to hurt my brother."
Chunpi gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said: "Master Hou is really heartless, the master owed him a kindness first, and later gave birth to Young Master Xi, and now he wants to treat the master like this because of a man."
Liu Hanyun shook his head and sighed.
The horse's hooves were raised high, and Ning Yuxuan led Gui Bai to catch up after knowing the direction. There is only one road from the capital to Jinzhou, but it may take a long time to catch up.
It's really not worrying, he doesn't have to chase it out, let Gui Bai come to find it, maybe he can't sleep, so he also came out to relax
The whip fell heavily, Ning Yuxuan smiled lowly, probably because of this.
She didn't know how far she had traveled, but it seemed to be very dark. Ji Man leaned into the car and fell asleep, and the car finally slowed down. A group of people pulled her down, apparently planning to spend the night in the forest.
This forest is the favorite of travelers. Because there are no birds of prey, there are many hares and pheasants. You can rest for a night by building a shed.
Ji Man sat on the side obediently. Several servants built fires and built sheds. They were worthy of being from the Hou family, and they were very clean and tidy.
I remember that in the original book, Nie Sangyu also sent away some of Mo Yuhou's housemaids. Maybe it was the same group of people. It's interesting to think about it.
Looking at the sky, it is estimated that we will be able to leave the capital after tomorrow morning. Ji Man thought for a while and asked, "It sounds like there should be a river nearby. Can I take a bath?"
Several servants glanced at her, and a man came out and said, "I'll go with you."
The corner of Ji Man's mouth twitched, and he nodded after thinking about it. It was impossible for her to really leave the capital, so she had to use a strange trick to escape from the hands of these servants.
When we came to the river, it was already dark, the moonlight was just right, and the river water could be seen faintly. There seemed to be voices in the distance, and there were quite a few people staying overnight in the woods, so the river didn't look so scary.
Jiman took off his coat, and went down the river in his underwear and boots. The servant next to her was undressing while staring at her. Seeing her being so strange, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't play tricks!"
"No, I can't go anywhere." Ji Man laughed and paddled in the shallow water for a while, and when the servant didn't pay attention when he was taking off his clothes, he plunged into the water.
The servant's laughter came from the shore: "Don't even try to use the river to run away, there is a pool of water just a few steps down."
This is a branch of a river, and there is indeed a pool in front of it, very calm, even if she dives and runs over now, as long as the servant finds that she is gone, she will not be able to run away if she is blocked by the other side of the bank.
However, she has a life-saving skill.
change face.
Stuck in the water, Ji Man reached out and took off the human skin mask and stuffed it into his bosom, then let go of the wooden hairpin on his head, and his hair was scattered in the water. There was only one robe left on his body, so he simply took it off, and slid along the water with his boots all the way to the pool at the end.
"I knew you could play tricks!" The servant on the bank put on his clothes and ran directly to the pool without going into the water.
"Hugh get closer!" Just as he was about to run to the edge of the pool, the servant was stopped by a group of men in armor.
"This..." The servant was a little silly, stopped and explained: "A servant of my family fell down the water above. He wanted to run, and I came to arrest him!"
Several guards frowned, and someone went to report in a low voice, and a little maid shouted into the pool: "Madam, you should be careful, it is said that a house slave has escaped, so don't run into you."
There was the sound of water rushing in the pool, the servant stood far away, was blocked firmly by the guards, and could only hear the voice inside: "There are women here, where are the slaves? , let the guards beat him."
"yes."
The servant was driven away from the pool by a guard.
All the female relatives in the water pool went ashore one after another, which was a bit of a disappointment. The woman in charge wrapped her clothes and said calmly: "It seems that I will soon arrive in the capital. I have to make up for the sins I suffered on the way back."
"That's not it." A charming woman said: "Where did the princess sleep in the wilderness before?"
There was still a woman taking a bath quietly in the pool. Someone looked back and said with a smile, "Who is this? Did you forget to bring your clothes? Why don't you come up?"
