Chapter 083 I'll Go to the Prison to Bring You New Year's Eve Dinner!
On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Tianshu was going out for a banquet again.
This time I was going to a village on the outskirts of the city. I had to get up early in the morning to freshen up and go out early.
Although it hasn't snowed since the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder day by day.
Aunt Yang put a foot stove in the car and stuffed a hot hand stove for her. She kept telling Minghui not to forget to change the charcoal, for fear of freezing Shen Tianshu.
As soon as the thick door curtain of the car was lowered, all the cold wind outside was blocked.
Because he got up early, Shen Tianshu closed his eyes and rested in the car, thinking about his own affairs in his mind.
Now that the old lady of the Zhao family is doing well, she has recently been able to take Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Junrong out to attend banquets.
When everyone was chatting at the banquet, it was natural to talk about how Mrs. Zhao was misdiagnosed by Hua Antang and almost died, but was finally rescued by Lady Tong.
Everyone lives a boring life, so this kind of thing is naturally an excellent source of conversation.
After talking about Mrs. Tong's wonderful rejuvenation, everyone's attention will be focused on Mrs. Zhao's secret skin care recipe. She still looks like she is fifty when she is in her early sixties, and she has not even completely gone through menopause. This is simply the ideal of all women. state.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao only attended two banquets, and Lady Tong's reputation spread among the upper circles of Yongzhou Mansion, and many people were asking about Lady Tong.
But the person Shen Tianshu had been waiting for never showed up.
Shen Tianshu was a little anxious at first, but after getting the invitation from Prince Rui's Mansion, she gradually calmed down.
Some things cannot be rushed. The more urgent it is, the more likely it is to make mistakes. It is better to first see what the banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion is going to be like before making plans.
Soon, the carriage left the city gate and drove onto the official road.
Minghui said: "Girl, you got up too early today, so you might as well take a nap. I've asked before. It's almost an hour's drive from leaving the city to Zhuangzi!"
Shen Tianshu slept for an unknown amount of time when he was woken up by the cry for help outside.
Only a female voice was heard shouting: "Help-"
"What happened?" Minghui opened the car curtain a small crack and asked the coachman, Lao Yan.
"We just turned off the official road and were stopping here to drink our horses. We heard someone shouting for help from the other side of the official road. I don't know what it was about."
"Lao Yan, go over and take a look. If you can help, please give me a hand."
"Okay, little one, let's go now." The coachman returned to the official road to take a look, and then came back and said, "Sister, there was a girl on the official road who jumped out of the carriage. She must have fallen and was lying on the ground unable to get up. , but she was still shouting for help... That girl looks a little familiar, she seems to be Chunlan from our house. But it’s not right, how could Chunlan be here? I guess she looks similar and I made a mistake."
When Minghui heard this, she immediately remembered the news in the house in the past two days. They said that Xu Yihao was leaving together with several maids he had slept with. If this was the case, maybe it was Chunlan.
"What's going on?" Shen Tianshu also sensed something was wrong, "Isn't Chunlan a needlework girl from the main courtyard? Why would such a good girl jump on a carriage outside the city? Let's go over and have a look."
Lao Yan and Minghui quickly took the footstools, helped Shen Tianshu get out of the car, and went to the official road to see what was going on.
Chunlan seemed to have injured her leg in a fall and collapsed on the ground unable to get up.
Not only did the people in the carriage not come down to check Chunlan's condition, they kept cursing, and it was Xu Yihao's voice.
"Do you really think of yourself as a chaste and virtuous girl? Are you a fairy? I'm so willing to sleep with you? Bah! You ungrateful thing! Either you climb up today and follow me honestly, or I'll pretend it's nothing. occur."
When Chunlan heard this, not only did she not want to climb back into the car, but she even tried to move back.
Seeing this, Xu Yihao became even more angry and said angrily: "Okay, don't you like to jump out of the car? I will make it happen for you. If someone comes, I will crush her over her. Whether she dies or not depends on her fate!"
This place was far away from the city gate, and no one could be seen in front or behind the road. Chunlan looked around but couldn't find anyone to ask for help. She couldn't help but show a look of despair, but she was determined not to give in.
"I would rather die than leave with you!"
"Okay, you're tough enough!" Xu Yihao's voice was full of viciousness, "Then let's see if your bones are as tough as you are, and push me over!"
Chunlan showed a desperate look, closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Tianshu came out of the fork in the road and walked to Chunlan, "How can it be that the maid in our house is the one who can push over you as soon as you say?"
"Why, she has returned to your house now!" When Xu Yihao saw Shen Tianshu, his eyes immediately changed. He didn't expect to meet her in such a barren mountain before leaving.
Out of nowhere and with no one around him, Xu Yihao narrowed his eyes and touched his chin with a lewd smile on his face.
"You said she belongs to you, but where is the bond of sale?" Shen Tianshu asked in a deep voice.
Although Chunlan was a maid in Shen's house, she was not the second wife. The deed of betrayal was still in Mrs. Shen's hand, and she sent people to do things, but she did not hand over the deed to Mrs. Xu.
In fact, this also shows that Mrs. Shen never thought of allocating this maid to Shen Zhonglei, just to reassure Mrs. Xu.
It's a pity that Mrs. Xu has been in charge of the family for a few years and has become accustomed to it. She has forgotten how powerful Mrs. Shen is. She even dared to give Chunlan away without fear of being unable to explain it when she returned home.
"The contract to sell oneself..." Xu Yihao didn't know this at all and turned to look at Lingxue.
Lianxue shook her head and whispered: "My aunt only gave three maids the deeds of sale, not Chunlan's.
At this time, Chunlan also saw that Shen Tianshu was facing her, and said hurriedly: "Miss, I don't want to go with my young master, but I was drugged by Hanqiao and got into the car. As soon as I woke up, I jumped straight into the car." The car is gone, please help me, Miss!"
Xu Yihao's attention was no longer on Chunlan at this time.
Although Chunlan was pretty and charming, she also had an arrogant personality and was more energetic than the other three maids, but she was still inferior to the aloof Shen Tianshu.
Now that he is in good health, and the time and place are so favorable, if he doesn't help others, he will really be sorry for the great opportunity that God has arranged for him.
Shen Tianshu signaled Minghui to help Chunlan aside and said: "Since there is no bond of sale, you are kidnapping someone else's slave. Do you want to hand him over to me and leave quickly, or do you want me to take you back to Yongzhou?" Fu Yamen, let my father find a suitable crime for you. How about you spend the New Year in jail this year? I just want to accompany the two fools you hired with money. They are in jail, and I am afraid they will have to wait every day. I want to settle the score with you, right?
"But don't worry, your aunt loves you so much, she will definitely go to the prison to give you a New Year's Eve dinner!"
