Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 162 Why?
The three of them were dumbfounded, as if they didn't know what to say.

"My lady, I think that you will never tell the maids about this, and you will never let them know." Dan Xin choked up and said, "You can say it so bluntly, it's so unreasonable." The reservation is because you believe in the maidservants, no matter who you are, you are the maidservant's wife, and the maidservant will never leave the maidservant no matter what!"

Jin Xiang followed and nodded again and again.

Even Shen Siniang was silent for a while, and then said: "Sister, the sister I know is the sister who has been helping me, saving me, and never leaving me since she came back from Wuxing. Now, Is my sister going to deny me?"

Shen Xinniang looked at them helplessly, "You don't know what's waiting for you ahead, I can't lead you into the abyss, you've done your best to accompany me here. I have to go the way ahead. face."

After Shen Xinniang finished speaking, she turned around and went to dispense the medicine.

The three of them looked at each other and exchanged glances, as if they had reached a tacit agreement, they nodded and no one spoke again.

When Qin Ran heard the knock on the door, he raised his head and glanced at the attendant, who immediately turned around and opened the door.

Hearing the sound of small footsteps, Qin Ran saw the surprise expression on the visitor's face, "Si Niangzi?"

Shen Siniang stood a few steps away from Qin Ran, and squatted down to be blessed, "Mr. Qin Lang is polite, and I want to ask Mr. Qin about some things, so I came to bother you. I hope Mr. Qin is not to blame!"

"Does Si Niang have to be so alienated from me?" Qin Ran said with a half-smile.

Shen Siniang froze, "Mr. Qin Lang, please do me a favor."

"Women are indeed the most ruthless people. Originally, they are deeply affectionate, but in the blink of an eye, they can become ruthless." Qin Ran sneered, turned his face away, and stopped looking at her.

Shen Siniang was a little embarrassed, she wanted to retreat, but thinking of her sister's words to keep them, she forced herself to stop, "Mr. Qin Lang knows why my sister came to Wu Xing, right?"

When Qin Ran heard this, he turned around and said, "Are you asking about this?"

Shen Siniang frowned, "Does Mr. Qin Lang know who is blocking the persecution along the way?"

Qin Ran squinted at Shen Siniang, "Didn't Miss Shen tell you?"

Shen Siniang shook her head, "I'm here to ask Mr. Qin Lang, if it's convenient for Mr. Qin..."

"Why do you think I'll tell you?" Qin Ran interrupted her with a smile.

Shen Siniang looked at him tongue-tied.

"Because of our previous friendship? But now you are ruthless to me, why do you think I will tell you things that your older sister didn't tell you?" Qin Ran asked again.

Shen Siniang looked extremely embarrassed, looked down at her own toes, her face was burning hot, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "I made my own decision and disturbed Mr. Qin Lang! Sorry!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and went to the layman.

Qin Ran looked at her fleeing back with deep eyes, hooked his fingers, and asked his followers to come forward, "Go and find out, is there something wrong with Mrs. Shen? Why is her younger sister suddenly Come and ask me about her?"

Then he nodded and left.

In the middle of the night, Jin Xiangmao stooped out of the inner room, walked lightly, and without making a sound, went out the outer door again, and quickly walked into the next room.

When Shen Xinniang was neutral, the room next door was lit with candles.

"The letter was stolen?" Dan Xin lowered her voice and asked.

Jin Xiang raised the object in his hand.

Shen Siniang quickly took it, quickly opened it, and pulled out the letterhead, "Please forgive us, sister."

She read the letter and murmured.

"Yu Tai? Uncle Yu? He left Beijing? Don't be impulsive, wait for me!" Shen Siniang looked sideways at Jin Xiang and then at Dan Xin, "What do you mean by this letter?"

Jin Xiang was a little anxious, reached out to take the letter, read it twice carefully, "Oh, I see!"

"What do you understand? Tell me quickly! What are you dawdling in!" Dan Xin urged anxiously.

"The person who sent people to intercept us along the way was likely to be Yu Guojiu's person! Earlier, the queen mother doubted the identity of the lady, did Yu Guojiu already know that the lady has strange skills, so he wanted to arrest her and go back? The prince wrote a letter to tell the lady not to be impulsive, and wait here for him to come!" Jin Xiang analyzed.

Dan Xin nodded slowly, "It's reasonable, the lady is here to wait for the prince, why should she part ways with us?"

Shen Siniang's eyes widened suddenly, "I know!"

The two servant girls immediately turned their eyes to her again, "What does Fourth Lady know?"

"The previous two interceptions, my sister said that no one will be left alive! I think the grievances between my sister and Uncle Yu must not be simple. My sister deliberately lured Uncle Yu here! My sister said that there are some things that she has to settle in person. Then The so-called worship?" Shen Siniang couldn't help shaking her hands, "Sister, is she going to use Uncle Yu's life to worship her teacher?"

Dan Xin and Jin Xiang were stunned when they heard this, their eyes widened, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, "What Si Niangzi said is so complicated... Madam's teacher and Uncle Yu..."

"My sister won't wait for the prince to come, she will definitely do it first. The reason why she left the capital and chose such a far away place, and intentionally lured Uncle Yu to come here in person, is probably because she didn't want to implicate the prince, and didn't want to be in the capital. Let the prince fall into a passive position." Shen Siniang said.

"Then, how should we dissuade the lady?" Jin Xiang was a little anxious, "How can the lady alone be the opponent of Yu Guojiu? The lady is not... this is not..."

Dan Xin bit her lower lip and clenched her hands, unable to speak in a hurry.

It was Shen Siniang, who was always weak on weekdays, who calmed down first, "Is my sister someone who can stop me? Let's find a way to go on the road together with my sister, try to hold her back on the road, so that we can wait for the prince to come!"

The two maids nodded repeatedly when they heard the words.

"Go and put the letter back, don't let my sister find out!" Shen Siniang said.

Jin Xiang held the letter, stooped back to the next room, but suddenly covered her mouth and almost fell to the ground.

She wanted to scream but didn't dare, with tears in her eyes, she forgot to put down the letter, so she turned around and ran out of the room, knocking open the door that Shen Siniang had just closed, as if she was about to cry out in a hurry.

"Why are you back?" Dan Xin stood at the door, about to go back.

"My lady...is gone!" Jin Xiang said.

Shen Siniang got up in surprise, rushed into Shen Xiniang's room, and the two maids quickly lit the candles.Dim flickering candles illuminate the room.

The room was neat and tidy, and there was no sign of leaving in a hurry. The mahogany sword was missing, the stack of talismans was missing, the pack of medicinal powder was missing, and the person who never panicked was missing.

It was as if my mind suddenly became empty, chaotic, and powerless.

Shen Siniang's legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

"Let's go, let's chase, sister can't go far!" Shen Siniang said with a pale face.

Not only did the two servant girls not stop her, they quickly packed up their things and were about to leave.

This movement alarmed Qin Ran. He was very surprised when he heard the news that Shen Xiniang had left alone. Seeing that the person he had sent to keep an eye on Shen Xiniang had been brought down, he suddenly understood that it was so easy for him to stare at Shen Xiniang before. She told him to just watch.

"Let's go after her! She is alone, and she can't go far outside the city overnight." Qin Ran led his men to chase her.

Shen Siniang and the two maids also insisted on going with them, Qin Ran got a headache from their quarrel, so he had no choice but to agree.

Jin Xiang wanted to be strong, so he refused to take a carriage, and rode with the Qin family on horseback.

The Qin family cleared the guards at the city gate, and the guards opened the small gate to let them leave the city.

"My lady doesn't ride a horse, so she won't be able to go very fast. We will definitely catch up!" Jin Xiang didn't know whether to tell others or herself.

Holding the rein in her hand, she looked around, as if she was afraid of missing the lady's whereabouts.

The moon is bright.

The night is very quiet, occasionally there is a bird chirping, and the chirping of insects under the grass leaves can be heard far away.

Shen Xinniang carried a small burden on her back, and walked quickly on the path, her feet were almost free from dust, like clouds passing over the dust.

Although she was not riding a horse, her movements were not slow, her slender figure flashed under the moonlight, and she was already more than ten steps away in the blink of an eye.

Under the quiet moonlight, her gaze was extraordinarily firm, and her fast-moving figure didn't hesitate for a moment, as if she was tireless, hurrying on her way.In the distance, there seems to be a force calling her, calling for the nostalgia and affection deep in her heart.

"By the way to Ping County?" The morning light glowed in the eastern sky.Qin Ran drove his horse alongside the carriage and asked inside the carriage.

According to inquiries, Shen Xinniang's hometown is in Ping County, the most remote and poorest place in Wuxing.

"Sister probably won't go back." Shen Siniang's soft voice came from inside the car, "Mr. Qin Lang, do you know how to get to the mountains adjacent to Ping County?"

"Si Niangzi means that Lady Shen will deliberately bypass Ping County?" Qin Ran asked with a frown.

The two people in the car looked at each other, and Dan Xin nodded at her.Shen Siniang raised her voice, "Yes."

Qin Ran didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately rode in front of the horse, discussing the route with the people of the Qin family who lived in Wu Xing.

"The lady went out of the city alone, and she didn't ride a horse. We chased all night, but we didn't catch up?" Dan Xin raised the curtain, looked out, and said with a frown.

"Could it be that we missed it and we were ahead?" Shen Siniang also asked.

Jin Xiang, who was riding a horse outside the car, shook her head, "I've been staring at it, how could I miss it? Although the lady didn't ride a horse, the lady today is not the delicate woman in the boudoir in the past. If the lady doesn't ride a horse, she can go anywhere You can walk on all roads, you don’t have to detour on a flat road, and your speed may not be slower than ours!”

The carriage fell silent again, this kind of silence seemed to be no different from the silence when Shen Xinniang was there, except that her occasional sound of turning the pages of the book was missing, but it was different everywhere.It turns out that no one can feel at ease in their hearts, and they only eagerly hope that they can find her sooner, sooner.

It doesn't matter whether she wants revenge or worship, since they have walked all the way here together, why should she say that the danger ahead is her business alone?Why should they abandon them who shared weal and woe all the way because of danger?

"If you find a lady, you have to stop her if you say anything!" Jin Xiang said outside.

Shen Siniang shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it."

Dan Xin also nodded, "Hey, I see there seems to be light in the woods ahead!"

"What light?" Jin Xiang looked sideways, looking in the direction Dan Xin spoke.

But the woods are lush and lush, except for the green leaves and the dappled sunlight, where is there any light?

"Look—" Dan Xin pointed to a forest ahead.

Jin Xiang narrowed her eyes and looked carefully, and suddenly saw a swishing sound in the dense forest.The trees swayed and their leaves swayed, the mottled sunlight was reflected in the lush forest, and the cold knife reflected a little bit of cold light.
