Mother Cui and her daughter suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom.
The two guards were responsible for sending Cui and her daughter off, and of course they had no good words.
It would be fine if the mother and daughter were well-behaved and did not cause trouble, but if they did, they would be beaten and kicked.
The guards had no intention of staying in an inn. After leaving the imperial city, the two of them lived in the wilderness, and the two guards slept well.
This is very painful for Ms. Cui and Gu Lian'er.
Gu Lian'er and Mrs. Cui have been more honest in the past two days, so the cloth gagged in their mouths is gone, but their hands are still tied.
Ms. Cui's mental state was particularly bad. After listening carefully for no movement outside, she lowered her voice and said, "If this continues, we won't be able to reach Qingzhou at all, and we will probably die on the road."
She really regretted it. She could just wait for Gu Lian'er to get married. Why bother?
I have been tossing and tossing, and I have completely lost my glory and wealth.
Gu Lian'er said with a sad face: "Then what should I do next? Mom, I don't want to go to a nunnery to be a nun."
When she thought about having to be with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng from now on, she felt very uncomfortable.
Ms. Cui said: "I don't want to go to the countryside to farm! I have suffered so much in these years. It's just that these two guards are determined not to let us have an easy time. What should we do?"
She actually had thoughts of running away and following the guards to Qingzhou was the end of her life.
An idea popped up in Gu Lian'er's mind: "Let's run away!"
escape?
Ms. Cui was stunned for a moment and then became decadent: "Can we escape? Both guards are good at kung fu. Even if we escape, we will be caught."
Gu Lian'er, however, stared at Cui with a look of hatred and said: "My mother is quite smart on weekdays, why did she become stupid today? Since you want to escape, you must pay attention to the timing, and escaping in the wilderness is for them.
Seize our opportunity, what if we are in a busy city? We will definitely be able to escape."
She doesn't want to go to Qingzhou.
But she also knew that she couldn't go back to the imperial city, as her father no longer wanted the two of them.
But Cui said: "What if we escape? You and I don't have any money."
Gu Lian'er looked at Ms. Cui disapprovingly and said, "Mom, why are you confused again? The jewelry we have is worth a lot of money even if we sell it. Find a place where no one knows us, and find a good family.
If you get married, won't you be safe and worry-free for the rest of your life?"
The more Cui heard, the more she thought this was a solution.
Although the mother and daughter lowered their voices, every word was heard by the guards guarding outside.
The two guards looked at each other and immediately went to the nearby woods.
"What should I do?" one of the guards asked.
Another guard said in a cold voice with a dark face: "You are very brave to actually want to escape from us. The eldest lady told me before leaving that if the two of them cause any trouble on the way, just let it go.
They are making trouble."
"Let's make trouble?" The guard didn't understand.
"It's true that they are allowed to make trouble. If they want to escape, just let them escape. Without customs clearance documents or household registration, I see where they can escape! Aren't they relying on the many jewelry on their bodies? Let's just take away the jewelry.
.”
Both of them listened to Gu Qingying's arrangements.
The next half month was uneventful. The only thing that Gu Lian'er and Cui couldn't bear was that their jewelry was taken away by the guards, who said they would keep it for them and give it to them in Qingzhou.
In fact, both of them knew that whether they could get the jewelry back or not was one thing.
Although I was extremely dissatisfied, nothing could be changed.
Because the two of them knew very well that the guards didn't have to go to great lengths to harm them.
Gu Lian'er also tried to seduce two guards with her beauty, but the two guards didn't even look at her.
Finally, Gu Lian'er and Cui Shi found a chance to escape. Who knew that the guards had no intention of letting them go easily. They caught them and beat them again, this time the beating was particularly severe. Gu Lian'er and Cui Shi were lying on the carriage. I haven't recovered from it for several days.
As time goes by, it is now more than ten days away from Qingzhou.
at the same time.
Gu Qingying finally stood outside the door of the Shen family.
The two golden characters of Shen Mansion shone golden in the sun.
In front of the majestic gate, there are house-guarding beasts.
Hongshi looked at the grand courtyard of the Shen family, swallowed her saliva and said, "The Shen family is so rich!"
Just by looking at the front door, you can tell that the Shen family is indeed a wealthy family.
Now that they have arrived outside the Shen family's gate, Gu Qingying looked at Jiang Huan and said, "You have completed your mission and can go back to meet my brother."
Jiang Huan had no intention of leaving and said, "We have to stay to protect the lady."
The order he received was not just as simple as escorting Gu Qingying to Lizhou City.
He still had to stay to protect Gu Qingying's safety.
Gu Qingying waved her hand and said: "No, you listen to me and take people back to the imperial city to recover. I don't need your protection."
She came to the Shen family to give birth to a baby, so it would definitely be inconvenient if she had so many guards around her.
Besides, she needs to keep a low profile. Lizhou City is a new beginning for her, and the fewer people who know her, the better.
Jiang Huan still insisted: "My subordinates listened to the master's order..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Qingying: "That means you don't obey my orders? Jiang Huan, you know how good my kung fu is, and the servants of the Shen family are not vegetarians. Besides, can I still be in danger in Lizhou City? ?”
Lizhou City is equivalent to the Shen family's headquarters.
How come a big family like the Shen family doesn't have its own bodyguard?
Shen Yunzheng is surrounded by experts, let alone in Shen's mansion.
If you use your brain a little bit, you will know that the Shen family also has experts in controlling the situation.
Jiang Huan still wanted to speak, but Gu Qingying said: "As long as I give an order, you can't even enter the Shen family gate. How can you protect me if I don't come out for ten days and a half? Listen to me, you go back to the imperial city. We don’t need you here anymore. If my brother really wants to blame me, just put it all on me."
With that said, she had already ordered Tomato to knock on the door.
Tomato and the concierge didn't know what they said. After a while, the door of Shen's house opened, and the two old men walked out happily, followed by a middle-aged couple behind them.
No introduction is needed to know that these two kind-looking old people are Gu Qingying's grandparents, and the middle-aged couple are Gu Qingying's uncle and aunt.
As soon as Mrs. Shen saw Gu Qingying, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "My poor granddaughter, you are here to visit grandma."
Gu Qingying just glanced at Jiang Huan and walked directly to Mrs. Shen, and was then hugged by Mrs. Shen.
"My poor granddaughter! Why are you just visiting grandma now?"
Old Mrs. Shen has always missed Gu Qingying, and she also knew that Gu Qingying would not be able to come to Shen's house as often as he did when he was a child.
Especially after she knew that Gu Qingying was granted marriage by the emperor.
