Chapter 92: Lone Star
After returning to Zuixiang Tower, the madam immediately sent Ergun and his servant to take Qing Wu to Ergun's small courtyard in the west of the city.
Qing Wu didn't know why. He originally planned to escape tonight, but something happened now and he had to wait and see.
The old bustard also brought Hong Ni over and asked her to serve Qing Wu well. If Qing Wu really married, he would let her be a dowry maid. Hong Ni was very happy and could finally escape from Zuixiang Mansion.
In fact, Hongni was not bad looking, but her family was poor, so her father and brother sold her to the old bustard. It turned out that she was a stone girl, so the old bustard had to let her serve in the backyard.
Even though I was beaten, laughed at, and bullied in various ways in the backyard, I always had food to eat and a place to sleep.
Later, the madam brought Qing Wu back and asked her to serve her closely. Qing Wu never bullied her and cared about her.
At that time, Hongni felt regretful that such a good girl would be ruined by the old madam, but now she is marrying into the Xiao Mansion. She doesn't know whether she is a concubine or a wife, but it is better than living in the Q building.
Now she was asked to be a maid as a dowry. Hong Ni felt that Qing Wu was her noble person and he would serve her well and be loyal to her in the future.
When Qing Wu found out that the madam was going to sell her to Xiao's house to get married, Qing Wu got very angry and almost started a fight with the madam.
"You have to get married even if you don't want to marry. When someone from the Xiao family comes back tomorrow to report, you won't be able to escape. I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't want to marry, you have to go back to Zuixiang Tower to pick up the guests." The old bustard said to me.
Zhuo Qingwu shouted loudly.
"I thought you were a savior, but I never thought you were a hungry wolf." Qing Wu was now sent to another hospital, and his escape plan was temporarily disrupted. Now he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Haha, I saved you. I have provided you with good food and drink these days, made clothes, and seen doctors, but I spent a lot of money. There is no such thing as a pie in the world! Ergun, find someone.
Keep an eye on her, don't let her escape." After saying that, the madam left. She had to go back and keep an eye on the business of Zuixianglou in person.
"Bah, you stinky old woman!" Qing Wu was furious and kept pacing back and forth in the room. He would definitely not be able to escape tonight.
As soon as the madam left, Hongni came in and quietly persuaded: "Girl, just agree! It will be a good thing for you."
"What a good thing? What qualifications does she have to marry me? I have an affair with her! It's ridiculous." Qing Wu felt that it was too unreasonable. In the mortal world, this is selling a woman. It is a serious crime and may be sentenced to life.
Punishment or something.
Hongni's eyes turned red and she continued to persuade: "Girl, you are now in the hands of your mother. You have to get married if you don't want to. You have no other choice."
"When I think of a way to ruin this marriage, let's see how she sells me for money." Qing Wu said to himself.
But looking at the red eyes, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I started to murmur in my heart.
During these days, Hongni had served her wholeheartedly, helped him with a lot of things, and never betrayed her. Qing Wu also knew that Hongni was a poor person, and if she escaped, Hongni would definitely suffer because of her involvement.
"Girl, please don't. If you ruin this marriage, mother will definitely let you go back to Zuixiang Building to pick up guests. It is better to marry Prince Xiao than live in Q Building." Hong Ni felt that Qing Wu hadn't seen the situation clearly yet.
"Prince Xiao?" Qing Wu frowned.
"Yes! The Xiao family are relatives of the emperor, and Prince Xiao is the king of war. Prince Xiao is the only son, so he naturally inherits the title of prince. In the future, he will inherit the title of prince! How many people want to marry him
He, this is a huge wealth." Hongni explained.
"So I was sold/used as a concubine? This stinky old woman will not die a happy death." Qing Wu cursed.
"I don't know, but I don't necessarily want to be a concubine. Prince Xiao is not married yet!"
Qing Wu pulled Hong Ni over and looked into her eyes and asked: "Not married? Not married in such a good family? Even if not married, I will definitely not want a person of unknown origin from me, unless he has some flaws, right?
?Is there anything else you haven’t told me?”
"Slave, I don't dare to say anything, my mother won't let me say it!" Hong Ni looked at Qing Wu with a frightening look.
"Say! I will definitely pretend not to know and won't let the old witch embarrass you!" Qing Wu was angry.
"Then Xiao Shizi conquered his wife!" Hong Ni believed Qing Wu.
"Ke Wife? How do you say this?" Qing Wu opened her mind to gossip.
"I heard that he had been married five times. Those women either died on the wedding night, or died mysteriously less than three days after the wedding. One of them was even still discussing marriage and died before they were married."
"Is this so evil?" Qing Wu's eyes widened.
Hong Ni said with a guilty conscience: "Yes! That's why I don't have a wife yet. Mom won't let me tell you this, for fear that you won't get married if you find out."
"There is such a big melon. Well, I can't escape now. Why don't I wait and see. It would be good to eat a melon first to relieve my boredom."
"What is the girl talking about? What is it?" Hong Ni was confused.
"Ah! It's okay! Just say it casually." Qing Wu held his forehead and smiled awkwardly.
Early the next morning, Er Guan came to persuade him again. Qing Wu pretended to agree in order to eat the melon, and also promised that he would get married in a down-to-earth manner. By using this to trick Er Guan, Qing Wu ate a big melon.
Later in the afternoon, the nanny of the Xiao Mansion came over with the painter and some servants and maids.
When the old woman saw Qing Wu, she thought she was a stunning beauty. She was so excited that she asked Qing Wu many questions.
Although I thought Qing Wu's answer was strange, I saw that Qing Wu's words and deeds were dignified and he nodded frequently.
After that, Qing Wu was asked to sit in front of the screen in the bedroom and keep still.
Qing Wu knew that he was painting a picture for her, but it was too laborious and his buttocks were numb. Fortunately, she cooperated one by one.
Because Qing Wu planned to escape at night, she would not make any extra trouble. She must not be able to control Hongni. Everyone has their own destiny. This time she can only be a ruthless person.
In the evening, Xiao He was drinking alone in his study.
He knew that everyone said that he was a wife-suppressant, and he himself didn't understand why the women who married him died.
Nowadays, it is very unlikely that he would like to marry, but he can't marry all the cats and dogs, so he has never been able to live alone!
But he couldn't go against his father's words. His father had been angry several times because of his marriage. He couldn't be that unfilial son and could only wrong himself, so he was extremely depressed and drank one bottle of wine after another.
Zhou Buyan, Prince Xiao's personal bodyguard, walked in with a scroll of portraits in his hand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent someone the portrait of the Crown Prince's concubine! Let you take a look. He said that he will get married in three days, so that you can have a good rest recently.
!”
"I know!" Xiao He didn't want to pay attention to him, and became angry just looking at him.
"Your Majesty, don't you take a look at this portrait?" Zhou Buyan felt that he had seen the woman in the painting somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Put it there!" Xiao He didn't want to pay attention to him.
Zhou Buyan had no choice but to put the portrait on the desk and leave. In the middle of the night, Xiao He went back to the bedroom without even looking at the portrait.
At night, Qing Wu didn't hear any more noise outside, so he thought everyone should go to sleep, so he packed up and prepared to escape.
Now that the melon has been eaten, people's hearts have stabilized. It's not that Zuixiang Tower doesn't have three floors inside and three floors outside. It should be easier to escape.
Qing Wu tiptoed open the door, made sure there was no one around, and then went to the backyard.
She found a corner with a tree by the fence, prepared to climb up the tree, jump onto the fence and climb out. This was her favorite spot during the day.
When he came to the tree, Qing Wu rolled up his sleeves, tied up his skirt, fixed the cat bag on his back, and climbed up the tree, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"I climbed trees every day when I was a kid, and I never felt tired. It seems my arms and legs are really old." Qing Wu murmured in a low voice.
