Chapter 343 The future is uncertain
"Mother!"
Su Li shouted helplessly, feeling powerless and angry, as if she was watching a TV drama but couldn't put her hand through the screen.
But Qin Shi didn't allow her to question it any longer. "It's settled. You've been out for a long time, so hurry back. Mother will take care of Jing'er's affairs."
Qin had already ordered Su Li to leave, so she had no choice but to leave.
As soon as she left, Qin called over her personal nanny and instructed:
"Hurry up and pack Jing'er's luggage and prepare the carriage. I'll write you a letter, and you'll personally escort her back to her hometown in Suzhou overnight. Leave her in the care of my mother."
The nanny hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, this is a serious matter. Why don't we wait for the Marquis to return and discuss it?"
"It's precisely because this matter is so serious that we have to send her away quickly. If the Marquis knew about it, he would beat her to death without even reporting it to the authorities! Mammy, my sister has suffered so much and only asked me for this one thing before she died. I can't let Jing'er lose her life like this."
"After the storm subsides, I'll ask my mother to find a husband for her and marry her off far away.
Qin was heartbroken.
Her conscience told her to handle the case impartially and give justice to the victims, but her family ties and guilt prevented her from doing so.
The nanny hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
"Remember to bring some warm clothes. It's going to be freezing cold. Also, bring some extra money."
"understood."
……
An hour later, the maid came to report.
"Madam, the nanny has already taken my cousin on the road."
"it is good!"
Qin wiped away her tears, sorted out her thoughts, and shouted to the outside:
"Someone, come here! Bring Shuanghong up and follow me to the Lin Mansion."
……
In the carriage, Xu Jing sat slumped in dejected condition.
Through the curtain, she saw her aunt's personal nanny sitting in the front of the carriage, with several servants guarding her all the way.
Her aunt said she wanted to send her back to her hometown in Suzhou.
Humph, she doesn't believe it!
She can't either!
She was the most talented woman in Shengjing. Why would she return to a remote place like her hometown in Suzhou? Was she really going to live in disgrace and be married off to someone at random by her stern and heartless grandmother?
She is not reconciled!
Just now, she was provoked by Su Li and lost control of herself, and she had a falling out with her aunt. How could her aunt still protect her? Her aunt and uncle have always been upright and would definitely not protect her!
Rather than believing that her aunt was going to send her back home, she believed that her aunt was going to send her to the Lin family and let that bitch Lin Wantang deal with her!
Right now, the nanny was definitely going to take me to the Lin Mansion.
Can’t go to Lin’s house!
If she entered the Lin Mansion, how would she survive?
She has to escape!
Her destiny must be in her own hands!
Outside the carriage, Mammy was still speaking earnestly:
"Miss Cousin, when you return to Suzhou, you must stay put and do nothing. Once the situation in Beijing has calmed down, Madam will definitely help you make new plans. The old Madam may have a sharp tongue, but a soft heart. For the sake of your deceased mother, she will definitely accept you, Miss Cousin? Miss Cousin!?..."
There had been faint sobbing sounds in the carriage earlier, but now there was no sound at all. Mammy vaguely sensed something was wrong and turned around abruptly to lift the curtain, only to see that the carriage was empty, with no sign of Xu Jing.
"Oh no! My cousin ran away! Go find her! Go back and tell my wife!"
……
Xu Jing escaped from the city and looked at the roaring river, not knowing for a moment where to go.
At the dock outside the city, a ship was anchored heading south. A few scholars were chatting by the railing. Xu Jing's eyes lit up when she saw one of them.
She knew this person. He was a scholar who failed the imperial examination this spring. His name was Lu Yong.
Lu Yong was a man of noble bearing and generosity, and he was also quite handsome. He was proficient in poetry and songs, and his prose was full of flourishes and grandeur. Before the exam, some even predicted that even if he didn't win first place, he would at least be second, or at worst, in the first class.
It's just that his luck was really bad.
I had a stomach upset the night before the exam and collapsed with diarrhea in the exam room, and couldn't even finish one session.
Having failed the exam this year, Lu Yong was feeling down and out. Having spent several months wandering around Shengjing City, with the New Year drawing to a close, he made friends with a few friends and was preparing to return home.
She knew Lu Yong, but Lu Yong had never seen her.
Xu Jing's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
……
"Oh no, someone fell into the water."
Someone on the boat shouted, and then someone jumped into the water with a splash.
In the cold river water, Xu Jing saw Lu Yong's figure.
She was rescued.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Yong, who was soaking wet.
"Miss, what's wrong with you that you want to jump into the river?"
He is handsome and behaves righteously.
Xu Jing was already a little happy in her heart. She looked at Lu Yong blankly and said softly:
"Sir, I...I don't remember."
"Where does the young lady live? So I can send someone to take you back?"
"I...I don't know." Xu Jing held her forehead and cried out in pain, "I don't remember anything."
Seeing Xu Jingsheng's beauty and sweet voice, the scholars nearby also joined in the fun:
"Brother Lu, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a hero saving a beauty, what a wonderful story!"
"Girl, you should repay me for saving my life with your body!"
Xu Jing's face flushed, and she looked at Lu Yong with flowing eyes and said:
"Young Master saved me. If you don't mind, I am willing to serve you."
Seeing her in green clothes, swaying like a willow, her wet body looming and her curves so beautiful, Lu Yong couldn't help but feel excited. He smiled lustfully and said:
"Then I'll call you Yiyi, okay?"
Xu Jing snuggled into Lu Yong's arms affectionately, "Sir, from now on Yiyi will be yours..."
Su Li, Yong'an Marquis Mansion, when Lu Yong becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination, I will be the top scorer's wife. One day, I will return in glory!
By the time the people from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion searched the entire city and finally found the riverside, Xu Jing had already sailed away and disappeared.
But this time, the future is uncertain and the outcome is unknown.
"evil creature!"
When the Marquis of Yong'an heard about the sudden change in his family, he hurried back. The court was busy with the peace talks with Beimang and the birthday celebrations of Emperor Jingde. He could not help but feel furious when such a thing happened at home.
"A loving mother often spoils her child! If you hadn't spoiled him so much in the past, and indulged him in everything, how could such a thing have happened?"
Qin knew she was in the wrong, but there was nothing she could do now that things had come to this. She could only sigh and cry:
"She's a weak woman, wandering around all alone. What would she do if she met a bad guy?"
"Evildoer?" Yong'an Hou snorted. "When it comes to viciousness, who can compare to her? You should worry about others instead!"
"It's better for him to leave. From now on, let's just pretend that such a person has never appeared in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion!"
Marquis Yong'an turned away.
"Master Hou!"
No matter how Qin shouted, Marquis Yong'an ignored her.
At the same time, on the river far to the south.
Lu Yong and several scholars were drinking in the cabin. One of them nudged Lu Yong obscenely and said:
"Brother Lu, have you tried that chick? How does she taste?"
Lu Yong stroked the wine glass, licked his lips as if savoring the taste, and smiled.
"I didn't expect she's still a virgin. This is truly... Haha, indescribable!"
One of them immediately became interested and leaned over across the table, saying hurriedly:
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, how about letting the brothers have a taste too?"
Lu Yong laughed,
"It's just a wild flower I picked up by the roadside. If I didn't think it was pretty, I wouldn't keep it around to play with it. Brothers, if you're interested, go ahead and take your own time."
She is just a woman of unknown origin, but she won’t be lonely on her way south!
