Before dawn the next day, Duan Yingying stuffed all the things she was going to take into her Qiankun bag, hid them carefully, and left the yard.
She left through the back door instead of the front door.
The guards and maids who saw her thought it was Duan Linlin. They just looked at her in surprise and thought to themselves: The young lady was punished by the master of the house yesterday, but today she was able to get out of bed and walk around. She recovered really quickly.
No one asked much about her going out through the back door. Everyone was busy with their own things and soon forgot about it.
In fact, everyone who works in the City Lord's Mansion knows that there are two young ladies in the mansion. However, the eldest young lady is deaf and dumb, and she rarely leaves the yard all year round, let alone goes out. Therefore, they did not expect that the person who goes out would be the deaf and dumb eldest young lady.
Duan Yingying felt a little confused when she walked out. The world was so big, where should she go
The outside world is so big. After leaving home and her family, she felt like a lone sail drifting alone in the ocean, not knowing where to land...
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people getting up in the morning, she went to the market, hired a carriage and left the city. She planned to look for her eldest brother first.
At noon, in the Duan Mansion, Duan Mubai, who was originally planning to leave today, thought about going to see Duan Yingying before leaving, but he didn't expect that he couldn't find anyone in the entire courtyard. There was only a letter under the teapot placed in the small pavilion in the courtyard.
When he saw the letter, Duan Mubai frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling in his heart, so he opened it and took a look. When he finished reading the letter, his face darkened and he walked towards the main courtyard in front with the letter in his hand.
City Lord Duan thought that his second brother Conghui was leaving today and was about to see him off, but he saw him walking towards him angrily.
"Second brother, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" City Lord Duan asked puzzledly.
"Brother, Yingying is gone." He said in a calm voice, staring at him.
"What?" City Lord Duan was shocked and asked in astonishment, "Gone? What do you mean?"
"Read it yourself!" He handed the letter to him, then turned his back with his hands behind his back, sighing in his heart. His eldest brother really disappointed him. As a father, how could he do this
When City Lord Duan took the letter and read it, his expression changed slightly. The letter said that she knew he was going to marry her to the countryside, and Linlin had poisoned her to disfigure her, so she didn't want to stay in this family anymore, and she didn't want to be married off like this, so she chose to leave and asked them not to look for her.
“Second brother, listen to me, what happened is…” City Lord Duan wanted to explain. After all, he did not expect things to turn out like this.
"I don't want to know what happened anymore, brother. I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself!" He shook his head and walked out.
City Lord Duan wanted to say something, but in the end, he still couldn't utter a word. He stood there with the letter in his hand and his lips slightly pursed.
How dare she, a deaf-mute girl with no ability to protect herself, run away from home? She is truly ignorant and fearless.
In the evening, when it was getting dark, a carriage slowly stopped beside the mountain road. The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked honest. At this time, he shouted to the people in the carriage: "Girl, it's getting dark, how about resting tonight? We can continue our journey tomorrow?"
