Chapter 104 Provoking Discord
Chapter 104 Provoking Discord
Yun Jingshu's expression was stubborn. She had expected the old lady's reaction in this way, so she didn't say anything, but just looked at the old lady dryly, as if she was saying: Anyway, the child is in my stomach, so I'm not satisfied. My request, you can handle it yourself.
Princess Linglong frowned, "You are pregnant, and why are you traveling so far? There is a small Buddhist hall at home, and the statue of Guanyin is also there. Just go there as much as you want."
"Fourth aunt is right." Xiao Sun also echoed: "Fifth brother and sister, you should know that your body is weak, and it is snowing now, who will let you go to such a far place without worrying about it? Accident, who will take responsibility?"
Yun Jingshu lowered her eyes, she didn't answer anyone's words, she only accepted her own request.
The old lady was furious, "What exactly do you want?"
Yun Jingshu said calmly: "I just want to go to the temple to offer incense."
She was sure that the Su family valued the child in her womb very much, so they took it easy, because they understood that in the end, they would definitely agree to her request.
The old lady's face was very ugly, and she immediately waved her hand to ask Mother Qian to send Yun Jingshu back and lock her up.
"Mother." Princess Linglong looked over, "This girl is too stubborn, if we insist on not letting her go, will she do something unfavorable to the child in a while?"
"She dares!" The old lady pinched her brows and scolded her like this, but she actually had the same worries as Princess Linglong in her heart.
Regardless of whether Yun Jingshu is pregnant with a boy or a girl, that is the only blood left by Brother Li in this world. It is impossible to say that Sifang is not nervous and doesn't care.
Xiao Sun said: "No matter what, you can't let Yun Jingshu go to the temple. Who knows what her plan is. Once she is out of our sight, anything can happen. In order to ensure the safety of the child, it is best to bite her." Don't let go."
"That's what you said." Princess Linglong's worry continued, "But Yun Jingshu has been in the crowd for nearly two months, and she must have accumulated a lot of resentment. If it is really urgent, she will break the pot What can I do if I fall?"
Princess Linglong and Mrs. Sun said something to each other, each insisting on their own opinions, which gave the old lady a headache.
The final decision, "Let her go!"
Xiao Sun was shocked, "Old ancestor!"
The old lady Su said unhurriedly: "The fourth daughter-in-law is right. This woman has been grudges for too long. Don't see that she looks calm on the surface, but in fact she is full of bad water. Once she is in a hurry, she will really use the child Threats, don’t we all have to act according to her face? Rather than being threatened by her in the future, it’s better to let go, the big deal, I just arrange twenty or thirty women to follow, I don’t believe that she is a woman who is pregnant What new tricks can you play?"
Princess Linglong sighed, "That's the only way I can think of it."
Xiao Sun frowned, seeing that the two elders did not let go, she could only say, "Since the old ancestor has made up his mind, I will immediately order someone to prepare it."
The old lady ordered, "Arrange a day when the wind stops and the snow stops, so I can feel more at ease."
Otherwise, the road would be too slippery, and if she accidentally hurt her little great-grandson, no one would spare her!
"Yes."

Xuan Guo Gongfu.
Xiao Ji was telling Su Yan about the situation in the Su residence.
"Yun Jingshu proposed to go to the temple to offer incense, and the old lady agreed."
Yun Chuwei was not surprised at all, "If I were an old lady, I would agree."
You don't need to think about this matter to know that Yun Jingshu threatened the child in her stomach, forcing the old lady to agree to her going out.
After being locked up for so many days, she finally moved.
"What about the others? What's their attitude?" Su Yan asked.
"Grandma didn't agree at first, but seeing that the fourth wife and the old lady insisted, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and make arrangements."
Su Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at Yun Chuwei, "What do you think?"
Yun Chuwei said: "Although I don't know what Yun Jingshu wants to do at the moment, if she dares to go out in the wind and snow, it means that she must have other purposes. We have to find someone to follow and monitor her every move at any time."
Su Yan pondered, "Do you still remember... Shen Tao?"
Yun Chuwei's face darkened, "I remember that Shen Tao disappeared after Yun Jingshu went to Su's house after her marriage."
"Shen Tao wholeheartedly wants to seek revenge from you for her brother Shen Hongwen's legs being crippled, but now that you two have very different identities, she can only find a backer, so this backer must have a deep hatred with you. Looking around, Yun Jing Shu is the best candidate." Su Yan analyzed in an orderly manner, "Before Shen Tao took refuge in Yun Jingshu, she must have been involved in the Longquan Temple incident, but she never expected that the final victim was not you It's Yun Jingshu, your safe and sound will only make Shen Tao more unwilling. But Yun Jingshu has already lost, in order to avoid risks, she will definitely find a place to hide temporarily, and come out after the wind has passed."
Yun Chuwei suddenly realized, "So, what you mean is that Yun Jingshu is going to the temple to offer incense this time just to find a chance to meet Shen Tao?"
"Very likely." Su Yan nodded, "Yun Jingshu was expelled from the genealogy, and now she has no relationship with the Yun family, and she is restricted in the Su family, so she wants to take the initiative to contact Chen Tao, use Chen Tao's deep hatred for you to help her. As for the ultimate goal, I guess, she may want to leave the Su family."
Yun Chuwei was thoughtful, "The child in Yun Jingshu's stomach is the only bargaining chip she has in the Su family. The premise is that before the child is born, once the child is born, the Su family will have nothing to do with her. It will be a matter of time before she is tortured to death, she still has some brains, she thought of this early, and now she is starting to find a way for herself."
His eyes turned hard, "However, I will never give her this chance!"
Su Yan asked with a smile, "What are you going to do?"
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows mysteriously, "Wait and see."
-
On Yukun Mountain in the middle of the night, the wind is blowing and the snow is falling.
In the nunnery's guest room, Shen Tao slept very unsteadily. In her dreams, she was always being chased and killed, and she couldn't find a place to hide. In the end, she was stabbed in the chest with a sword and died.
Shen Tao woke up with a start, and found that she was covered in cold sweat, which had already soaked her underwear.
When the cold hit, Shen Tao shivered, and wrapped the quilt tightly.
She has been here for nearly three months. Ever since Yun Jingshu married into the Su family, she has tried her best to escape. A maid inexplicably disappeared.
Along the way, all the silver on Chen Tao's body was used up, and in the end she had no choice but to go up the mountain to beg for shelter, and finally fainted from hunger in front of the gate of the nunnery.
The teacher here is a kind person. Seeing her pitiful, she took her in to help with chores in the nunnery.
Shen Tao was used to rough work when she was in the embroidery village, these jobs in the nunnery were nothing to her at all.
However, since she lived in the nunnery, she often had nightmares, woke up twice in the middle of the night for three days, and had no energy during the day.
The death of Su Li in Longquan Temple left a terrible shadow on Shen Tao.
Because of that incident, she was an accomplice.
Shen Tao, a country girl who has never killed anyone in her life, was almost scared out of her wits the moment she saw Su Li's body in Yun Jingshu's room.
Originally, she and Xiuju were going to marry Su's family as a dowry, but when Shen Tao thought that she helped Yun Jingshu go down the mountain to find someone to make that candle and buy medicine that led to Su Li's death, she trembled violently After all, she didn't dare to follow Yun Jingshu to Su's house, took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and finally lived in a nunnery, planning to wait for a while to recover before going down the mountain to approach Yun Chuwei to seek revenge.
The night was getting darker and the snow was falling harder.
In such a cold winter, the nuns in the nunnery are all shrunk into the quilt, and no one will come out to run around.
At Haishi, the door of the nunnery was knocked heavily, the wind was loud, and the nuns were sleeping soundly, and no one heard the knock.
Only Shen Tao, who was waking up from the nightmare and curled up in the corner of the bed wrapped in a quilt, heard the unusual movement outside.
She wants to call someone, but at this time, all the little masters are asleep. Once she yells, she will only wake them up. If she is kicked out, then she is really homeless.
As a last resort, Chen Tao put on her clothes, got out of bed, opened the door, and walked towards the gate of the nunnery.
After pulling the latch, Shen Tao forcefully pushed open the heavy door.
There was a group of ferocious rough men standing outside, the leader held up the torch, saw that the person who opened the door was Shen Tao, he smiled ferociously, and waved back, "Brothers, catch this little slave and take him back to work! "
Shen Tao was shocked, she turned around and was about to run in, but was grabbed by the back collar and fell to the ground two or three times.
Shen Tao bared her teeth in pain.
The men brought the rope they had prepared earlier in the morning and quickly tied it up for her.
Shen Tao's hands and feet were tied tightly, unable to move, only one mouth could speak.
"Who the hell are you and why did you tie me up?" Her face was pale and her voice was filled with fear.
The man who spoke just now raised the rattan whip in his hand, slapped Shen Tao fiercely, and scolded, "Anyone who dares to betray the master will be treated as a fugitive slave. You guys, hurry up, the fifth grandma is still waiting for a lecture. Woolen cloth!"
Shen Tao had never suffered such physical pain, she couldn't bear it with just one whip, she cried out in pain.
Although she didn't know these people, she finally understood that the "Fifth Grandma" that the man was talking about, who was Yun Jingshu who just married into the Su family?
Another whip came down, this time directly towards her delicate face, a bloodstain split open, the blood flowed down the cheek to the corner of the mouth, it was extremely fishy and sweet.
Yun Jingshu!
Chen Tao gritted her teeth. She made an agreement when she took refuge in the first place. She would not be a slave for life. She just wanted to help Yun Jingshu get rid of Yun Chuwei, a villain. She didn't expect that in the end, she fell into Yun Jingshu hand!
hatred!
Chen Tao was in unbearable pain, sobbing in a low voice, with hatred surging in her heart.
They have already married into the Su family, Yun Jingshu didn't want to seek revenge on Yun Chuwei, but set the fire on her, a country girl. Today, she can see clearly that there are such small-bellied women in the world.
The men stopped talking, one of them stuffed Shen Tao's mouth with a cloth ball, then found a sack, put it on Shen Tao's head, picked it up nimbly, and followed the leader down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was slightly bright, and the big man carrying Shen Tao directly threw her into the open-air carriage, and a group of people put on coir raincoats, whistled, and walked along the road back to the city against the wind and snow.
A luxurious carriage was approaching. The driver was wearing a bamboo hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly. The thick felt curtain inside the carriage was drawn tightly, so he had no idea who was sitting inside.
Shen Tao heard movement outside, and when the carriage passed by the open-air carriage, her mouth was gagged and she kept "wowing". Although the sound was not loud, it still came out.
A deep and clear voice suddenly came from inside the gorgeous carriage, "Stop!"
The two carriages crossed the road, and the strong men looked at each other vigilantly. The curtains of the carriages had never been opened, but they seemed to see through the curtains the domineering king who could not be approached by the people sitting inside.
The leading man trembled and cupped his hands: "May I ask your honorable name?"
A sneer came from behind the curtain, "So many people bully a girl who is powerless, what kind of rules are there?"
The brawny man said: "She is just a runaway slave. I was ordered to arrest her and prepare to take her back to the master for disposal. If you have nothing else to do, let's leave now."
"If I insist on letting her stay!"
The man's voice was indescribably lazy and leisurely, and it was clearly a question of consultation, but it sounded like he was ordering them to keep him.
The strong man shrank his eyes, "This is a matter of our family, your Excellency had better not interfere, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, the guard driving the car pulled out a shining sword from his waist, and before everyone had time to see clearly, he cut off one of the strong man's left ear at an extremely fast speed.
"Ahhh-"
For a moment, the heart-wrenching roar of the strong man sounded on the silent official road.
Seeing this, the rest of the men panicked.
"Give...give him the man!" The strong man at the head managed to say a word, and fainted from the pain, the others hurriedly threw Chen Tao out of the open-air carriage, helped the strong man with one ear missing up, Waving his horsewhip, he quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
"Let her out." The voice in the carriage continued, this time speaking to the guard driving the carriage.
The guard got the order, and immediately came over and opened the sack covering Shen Tao, and untied her again.
Shen Tao forcefully tore off the cloth strips stuffed into her mouth, panting heavily.
Although she didn't know the people in the carriage, she knew that there was a very important person sitting inside the carriage and the extraordinary skill of the guards just now.
After she was out of breath, Shen Tao knelt down on the ground and thanked her, "Thank you benefactor for saving me."
"Are you a fugitive slave?" the man in the carriage asked.
Shen Tao shook her head desperately, "No, the little girl is from Xinghua Village, Yong'an Town, Qingyang County, Quanzhou. This time, she came to Beijing to find relatives, but she met a human trafficker and was sold to a rich family as a slave. I really can't help it." , thinking of escaping."
She said it seriously, trying to disguise herself as an innocent victim, trying to win the sympathy of the other party.
"I think he's a poor man." The person in the carriage sighed softly.
Chen Tao seized the opportunity and kowtowed again and again, "The little girl is really desperate, please take me in."
As long as you can have a distinguished personage as your backer, you are not afraid that you will not be able to take revenge!
The people in the carriage pondered for a moment, then ordered the guards again, "Let her come up!"
Shen Tao's eyes lit up, she rubbed her frozen hands and followed the guards into the carriage.
A heater was placed in the carriage, and as soon as she entered, a gust of hot air rushed to her face, warming her from body to heart.
"Please sit down." The soft and charming voice instantly stunned Chen Tao.
In her lifetime, it was the first time she saw such a good-looking person. His long eyebrows were like feathers, and they flew obliquely into the temples. He looked frivolous and flamboyant, but in fact he was calm and introverted, hiding his edge. His thin red lips raised a slight curve, which was very cool. I can't tell if it's a smile or something else.
It was snowing heavily outside, the plum blossoms were blooming, and the frosty beauties all over the mountain were so gorgeous that they couldn't take away any color from him.
It seems that as long as this person is there, the silver frost and snow outside, and the ten-mile plum forest will become a foil, and it will be dimmed in an instant.
Shen Tao was completely stunned and could not speak anymore, she only had one sentence in her mind at this moment: This man is so good-looking, it made her heart thump and beat non-stop.
"girl."
He made a sound and gestured again, "Please sit down."
Shen Tao took a glance, there were seats on three sides of the carriage, and they were quite spacious and clean. She was dirty and didn't have the nerve to dirty other people's seats, so she had to drag the little stick to sit on it.
"May I ask, what's your benefactor's name?" Shen Tao blushed, a little at a loss.
When she was in the Dongyang Hou Mansion, she always thought that Mr. Yun was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Later, when she saw the uncle of the Yun family—Mr. Xuan Guo Su Yan, she was even more shocked. The position is not much less than that of Xuan Guogong, which makes her bump into a deer, and even speaks a little incoherently.
The one sitting opposite Shen Tao was none other than He Lianjin, the demon king who was not inferior to Su Yan in appearance.
The fact that Shen Tao was "robbed" this time was actually a scene arranged by Yun Chuwei, in order for He Lianjin to come and "save the beauty" to subdue Shen Tao first.
Originally, He Lianjin was not happy, but Yun Chuwei said that after the matter was completed, he would invite Xu Han to visit Duke Xuanguo's mansion. From this point of view, he reluctantly agreed.
As for letting Bai Shu cut off one of the strong man's ears just now?
Yun Chuwei never gave such orders, He Lianjin came here according to his preferences, and he never had much feeling for the life and death of people he didn't care about.
Restraining the disgust in his heart again and again, He Lianjin said: "What is my surname, you don't need to ask any more. Since you want to take refuge in me, you must be loyal from now on. I never support useless people by my side."
Shen Tao hurriedly said: "Master, please rest assured, this servant will definitely be loyal to you from now on."
He Lianjin nodded, picked up a towel from the small table beside her and handed it to her, "Wipe."
Shen Tao was beaten by a strong man with a whip before, and there were scars on his face, which were still bleeding.
With a blushing face, she took the handkerchief, and Shen Tao wiped the wound lightly on the radiant young couple, it hurt a lot, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
Growing up so big, it was the first time a man was so gentle to him.
Besides, this man is so good-looking.
Thinking of this, Shen Tao felt that she could hardly breathe.
He Lianjin looked away and ordered Bai Shu, "Turn around."
The carriage drove slowly along the way, and the weather was extremely cold. There were very few carriages, horses and pedestrians traveling on the official road, so it was a bit quiet along the way.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Shu saw a group of people in front of him from a distance, looking at their attire, they seemed to be servant girls and servants from a certain house.
"Master, someone is blocking the way ahead." Bai Shu said.
He Lianjin ordered lightly, "Go and have a look."
Bai Shu drove the carriage aside and stopped, jumped off the shaft and walked over, asking with a stiff face, "What's going on?"
Everyone followed the reputation and came over, only to see that the person who came was cold and serious, his face was mostly covered by the bamboo hat on his head, and he couldn't see clearly, only the guard's badge hanging around his waist was dazzling.
This is the badge of the palace.
The maids and servants looked at each other, their expressions changed again and again, and after a while, they hurriedly moved out of the way.
Bai Shu walked over slowly, and saw a carriage parked in the middle, it looked like something was broken, it couldn't be repaired for a while, and he couldn't leave.
He casually asked one of the maids.
It turned out that these servants were all from the Su Mansion, escorting Yun Jingshu to the temple to offer incense, but the carriage broke down halfway, and they couldn't move on, and there was no way to the village or shop behind this place, so a group of people could only wait on the spot Do it in a hurry.
Yun Jingshu was protected in the middle by the maid and mother-in-law to protect her from the cold.
Looking at this scene, Yun Jingshu raised the corners of her lips triumphantly. The old woman of the Su family persuaded her to come on a day when the wind stopped snowing. .
Because the carriage is easy to break in windy and snowy weather, all she needs is for the carriage to have an accident on the way, so she can wait for the opportunity to escape and find Shen Tao.
Seeing Bai Shu's waist badge, Yun Jingshu was overjoyed, and immediately had an idea.
She hastily pushed away the servant girls who surrounded her, and walked towards Bai Shu with a gentle smile on her face, "May I ask, which master's guard is this eldest brother in the palace?"
Bai Shu recognized Yun Jingshu, so he glanced at her lightly, "Second Highness."
Second Highness?
Yun Jingshu's eyebrows twitched, it turned out to be the devil incarnation.
Although it may be risky to provoke this person, it seems to be her only way out at present.
Immediately calming down, Yun Jingshu said politely, "Since the Second Highness is here, I'll go over and say hello to him."
Bai Shu didn't speak, Yun Jingshu followed him to He Lianjin's carriage.
The felt curtain of the carriage was still closed, and the people inside were silent.
Yun Jingshu paused, then bent her knees, "Jingshu has seen His Highness the Second Highness."
Originally, Yun Jingshu had already married into the Su family, and she had to call herself a "courier's wife" in front of He Lianjin, but when she thought of what the Su family had done to her, Yun Jingshu would only feel cold-hearted, and she didn't want to admit it at all. Due to her unbearable status, she subconsciously regarded herself as an unmarried girl.
He Lianjin lifted the curtain, and when he saw the people standing outside, he raised his lips with great interest, "Fifth Young Madam of the Su family?"
Such a title undoubtedly pierced Yun Jingshu's heart, and she looked very uncomfortable.
"What happened in front?" He Lianjin turned to ask Bai Shu.
Bai Shu said: "Second Highness, the Su family's carriage broke down on the way and they are repairing it, but it looks like it won't get better in a while, you see..."
He Lianjin rested her chin, as if deliberating.
Yun Jingshu took the opportunity to say: "Please take pity on the Second Highness, we are in a hurry to go to the temple to pay homage, but the carriage suddenly broke down, there is no way to go to this place, there is no shop behind the village, and it is still snowing, so I am afraid there is no way to get there. Can you ask Second Highness to give me a ride?"
He Lianjin lazily raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that the carriage broke down on the way, it's so cold, it's really cold to stand below, come up!"
Yun Jingshu was overjoyed.
In fact, ever since Yun Jingshu appeared, Shen Tao in the carriage had heard her voice, bit her lips tightly, and clenched her fists tightly. If He Lianjin was not there, she would definitely rush down and tear her to pieces. Yun Jingshu's hypocritical face.
When she heard that Yun Jingshu was about to get into the carriage, Shen Tao's eyebrows were extremely tangled, and she called out in a low voice, "Second Highness..."
She yelled these three words with a trembling voice. She didn't know He Lianjin's identity before, and she always thought that he was just the son of a rich family. When Yun Jingshu called He Lianjin "Second Highness", Shen Tao's heart almost jumped out of her chest.
"What's the matter?" He Lianjin with a smile as gentle as jade, directly hooked Shen Tao's soul.
"No, nothing." Clenching her sleeves tightly, Chen Tao bit her lower lip, and finally swallowed back what she wanted to say, shaking her head.
Yun Jingshu lifted the curtain of the car, and when she saw Shen Tao sitting inside, she was shocked for a moment, "Shen Tao? Why...how could it be you?"
Chen Tao recalled the scene when she was almost killed by those big men in the nunnery before, and her face became more indifferent, "Young Madam may have misidentified the person, the servant is the servant girl next to the Second Highness."
Yun Jingshu was stunned, "You said, you are the personal maid of His Highness the Second Highness?"
"Yes." Shen Tao answered directly without thinking.
"Why, do you know each other?" He Lianjin asked.
"know."
"do not know."
The two spoke in unison.
He Lianjin looked at Yun Jingshu with a half-smile.
Yun Jingshu was a little embarrassed, "The appearance of this little maid is too similar to someone I knew before."
"That's fate." He Lianjin smiled lightly, "Please sit down."
Yun Jingshu sat down on the spacious seat, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, this time she went out of the city, she wanted to come to Chen Tao to discuss how to escape from Su's house, she did not expect to meet her here, although she didn't know why Shen Tao didn't She didn't recognize herself, but Yun Jingshu was very sure that the person sitting on the twig was indeed Shen Tao.
"Which temple does the young lady plan to go to?" He Lianjin asked.
Yun Jingshu didn't expect He Lianjin to be so talkative, so she relaxed her vigilance, "I'm going to Guanyin Temple."
In fact, the main purpose is to find Chen Tao. Now that Shen Tao is in the carriage, it is the same for her to go anywhere, but since she puts the words first, she still has to put on a show, otherwise it will be easy to be suspicious, especially It's the Su family.
Without further ado, He Lianjin asked Bai Shu to drive to Guanyin Temple.
The maidservant of the Su residence followed outside, leaving behind a few servants to repair the carriage.
Because when I came here, I got the earnest instructions from the eldest grandma, Xiao Sun, and no one dared to slack off, otherwise, if something happened to Yun Jingshu and the child in her stomach, they, the servants, would all suffer.
When arriving at Guanyin Temple, Yun Jingshu had no choice but to get out of the carriage first.
He Lianjin sat still, and told Shen Tao, "Just now the fifth young lady of the Su family said that you are like an old friend she knows. I think you two hit it off, why don't you go to the Guanyin Temple to worship together, it can be considered that you met a nobleman halfway .”
Shen Tao wanted to refuse aloud, but when she met He Lianjin's eyes full of tenderness, she immediately blushed again and lowered her head, "Thank you, Second Highness."
After getting off the carriage, Yun Jingshu took the initiative to come over to say hello to Shen Tao.
Shen Tao's complexion was not very good, and she even dismissed Yun Jingshu's deliberate approach.
"Shen Tao?" Unwilling, Yun Jingshu called again tentatively, "I know it's you, but I just didn't expect you to change to a new master so quickly."
Shen Tao suddenly sneered, "Why, I have changed to a new master, so the Young Madam is jealous and jealous, even looking for someone to take my life?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yun Jingshu frowned, "When will I make people feel sorry for you?"
"Young lady knows what you have done, so you don't have to ask me to repeat it?"
Yun Jingshu became more and more confused, and grabbed Shen Tao's arm, "Speak clearly, what have I done to you?"
"Young madam!" Shen Tao coldly shook her off, "I am now the second highness's personal maid, please pay attention to your identity."
"Shen Tao!" Yun Jingshu was a little annoyed, "How did you tell me when you went to Dongyang Hou's mansion, you patted your chest and promised to be loyal to me in this life, this time I have no choice but to marry into the Su family, you half way Run away, I don't plan to argue with you anymore, I never thought that when we meet again, you will treat me with such an attitude, yes, marrying into the Su family, I am down and out, and I am no longer the third young lady of Dongyang Houfu who used to be so beautiful , but I think I treat you well, so why do you have to be ruthless? After all, I am the master, and you are just a humble slave. Now that you have just changed your master, you dare not take me seriously, right? ? You have a big shelf!"
Shen Tao didn't speak.
How deep is this woman's scheming, she has seen it when she was in Dongyang Hou's mansion, all of this is just acting, if she really values her so much, why did she send someone to kidnap her last night?
If it wasn't for the Second Highness's rescue, she would have died in the hands of those people long ago.
"Shen Tao." Thinking that she needed an outside helper, Yun Jingshu had to soften her tone, "I came out this time to find you for something."
"Young Madam." Shen Tao turned around and said with a wooden face: "I have to go back to serve His Highness the Second Highness."
After finishing speaking, she walked out without waiting for Yun Jingshu to speak.
Yun Jingshu froze on the spot, full of bewilderment and helplessness.
Why did everything go against her plan?
If Shen Tao didn't help her, how would she escape from the Su family?
Yun Jingshu clenched her fists.
After preparing for so long, it was hard to get Mrs. Su to promise her to come out. If she returns without gaining anything, then she really can only wait to die in Su's mansion from now on.
Shen Tao walked out of the gate of Guanyin Temple, picked up the curtain and got into He Lianjin's carriage.
He Lianjin lay on his side on the seat and slept lightly, propping his head with one hand, that lazy and casual appearance was very tempting, Shen Tao's heartbeat accelerated again involuntarily.
Bai Shu stood beside the carriage with a cold expression on his face.
The curtains of the carriage were rolled up, so he could clearly see what was inside the carriage.
If Mrs. Qingluan hadn't entrusted her, why would his master have let other women get into the carriage? The seat next to the master has long been reserved for that girl Xu. From the look in her eyes, she is worthy of such a vulgar and shallow appearance?
Shen Tao was staring at He Lianjin's sleeping face and her heart fluttered, when she suddenly noticed that Bai Shu outside the carriage was looking at her with contemptuous eyes.
She was annoyed immediately, and put down the felt curtain, covering everything inside tightly.
Bai Shu's face became more and more ugly.
This woman's face is too big, who do you think she is?
Even those noble ladies in Beijing who love His Highness the Second Highness would not be polite when they saw him as a personal bodyguard. They wished to please him so that they would have a better impression in front of His Highness Second Highness. Shen Tao is fine, a humble person How dare you put on airs in front of him?
Bai Shu couldn't swallow this breath, thinking about returning to the capital to see how he would deal with this ignorant lowly maidservant!
-
Being spoiled by Shen Tao, Yun Jingshu didn't stay in the Guanyin Temple for long, she pretended to pay her respects and then came out. She originally wanted to rub He Lianjin's carriage, but Su's family stayed behind to repair the carriage Those little servants who came here drove the carriage over.
Yun Jingshu frowned.
The servant woman said: "Young Madam, please."
Yun Jingshu gritted her teeth unwillingly, she hadn't done anything yet, did she really want to go back to Su Mansion like this?
This time, it will be very difficult to have a chance to escape in the future.
Seeing her standing still, the maid reminded her again.
Yun Jingshu said "oh", "I want to get some air outside."
The maid became nervous, "But are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Jingshu took advantage of the situation and said, "It's a little uncomfortable." After speaking, she stretched out her hands to support her head, looking very uncomfortable.
The servant girl's expression changed drastically, "Then you should get in the carriage and rest."
"Probably because I was too bored in the carriage just now." Of course, Yun Jingshu couldn't get into the Su family's carriage so early and head home. Her goal was He Lianjin. From the point of view of getting along, the Second Highness is quite nice.
Since Shen Tao's line is no longer feasible, she can only place her final bet on He Lianjin.
The servant woman was relieved when she heard that it was just because she was bored, not because of any discomfort.
Yun Jingshu stood there for a while, but didn't see any movement in the carriage parked there. She pursed her lower lip and planned to go over to have a look in person.
Bai Shu was still standing outside, when he saw Yun Jingshu approaching, he crossed his arm to stop her, "The Second Highness is sleeping, please don't disturb anyone."
Yun Jingshu was taken aback, "Sleep?"
Shen Tao is still on the carriage!
Could it be that the Second Highness treats her...?
No, it's impossible, the Second Highness has the appearance of a god, and how many beautiful ladies in Beijing have failed to win his favor, how could he be interested in a lowly maidservant from the countryside?
Yun Jingshu wanted to say something more, but Bai Shu's face showed a bit of impatience, "Young Madam, please come back."
"I have a few words that I want to say to the Second Highness alone." In desperation, Yun Jingshu couldn't care less about her image and reputation.
Bai Shu was dumbfounded, and after a moment, he came back to his senses, "Mrs. Su, you are a married woman."
"Your Excellency misunderstood." Yun Jingshu was very anxious, she was running out of time, she had to fight, "I am looking for the Second Highness, it is really urgent, I hope you can be accommodating."
Bai Shu put on a stern face.
Obviously, it is impossible to ask him to sell favors.
"Bai Shu, let her come over."
He Lianjin's voice suddenly came from the carriage.
Yun Jingshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly trotted over with her skirt.
He Lianjin opened his eyes, sat up straight, and opened the curtain to see it himself.
Seeing his eyes, Yun Jingshu felt a little guilty, and lowered her head a little.
"What do you want from me?" He Lianjin asked.
Yun Jingshu glanced back to make sure that the servants could not hear her, so she whispered, "Second Highness, please help me."
He Lianjin gave an "oh" in doubt, "help you?"
"Yes." Yun Jingshu was full of urgency, "Don't look at how many people surrounded me when I went out. In fact, they all came to monitor me. The old lady has a vicious mind and wants to take this opportunity to let people Kill me outside, I'm pregnant, I don't want to die, Second Highness, please save my life for the sake of my unborn child!"
He Lianjin chuckled, "Are you pregnant?"
Yun Jingshu nodded hastily.
"What does it have to do with my prince?" The dull and clueless words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on the head.
Yun Jingshu froze in place, forgetting to react.
"Bai Shu, set off."
Bai Shu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly left the Guanyin Temple in his carriage.
Inside the carriage.
He Lianjin glanced at Shen Tao lightly.
"Are you the maid beside Yun Jingshu?"
Shen Tao was flustered, "How did the Second Highness know?"
"When you saw her, your eyes were full of hatred." He Lianjin said.
Shen Tao pursed her lips, that's right, when she saw Yun Jingshu, she wished she could tear her apart.
"At the Guanyin Temple just now, it can be regarded as a small revenge for you."
In a word, Shen Tao felt an unprecedented warmth, she was full of gratitude, and wished to give her body right away.
I thought that all the nobles in Tianhuang had their eyes above the top and couldn't see the low-level people like them, but I didn't expect the Second Highness to be so kind and considerate.
Chen Tao thought, if she had the chance to sleep with such a perfect person, even if she didn't have the chance, she would be willing to be by his side as a slave for the rest of her life.
He Lianjin took all of Shen Tao's facial expressions into his eyes, and at an angle she couldn't see, the smile on his lips was bloodthirsty and cruel.
(End of this chapter)
Yun Jingshu's expression was stubborn. She had expected the old lady's reaction in this way, so she didn't say anything, but just looked at the old lady dryly, as if she was saying: Anyway, the child is in my stomach, so I'm not satisfied. My request, you can handle it yourself.
Princess Linglong frowned, "You are pregnant, and why are you traveling so far? There is a small Buddhist hall at home, and the statue of Guanyin is also there. Just go there as much as you want."
"Fourth aunt is right." Xiao Sun also echoed: "Fifth brother and sister, you should know that your body is weak, and it is snowing now, who will let you go to such a far place without worrying about it? Accident, who will take responsibility?"
Yun Jingshu lowered her eyes, she didn't answer anyone's words, she only accepted her own request.
The old lady was furious, "What exactly do you want?"
Yun Jingshu said calmly: "I just want to go to the temple to offer incense."
She was sure that the Su family valued the child in her womb very much, so they took it easy, because they understood that in the end, they would definitely agree to her request.
The old lady's face was very ugly, and she immediately waved her hand to ask Mother Qian to send Yun Jingshu back and lock her up.
"Mother." Princess Linglong looked over, "This girl is too stubborn, if we insist on not letting her go, will she do something unfavorable to the child in a while?"
"She dares!" The old lady pinched her brows and scolded her like this, but she actually had the same worries as Princess Linglong in her heart.
Regardless of whether Yun Jingshu is pregnant with a boy or a girl, that is the only blood left by Brother Li in this world. It is impossible to say that Sifang is not nervous and doesn't care.
Xiao Sun said: "No matter what, you can't let Yun Jingshu go to the temple. Who knows what her plan is. Once she is out of our sight, anything can happen. In order to ensure the safety of the child, it is best to bite her." Don't let go."
"That's what you said." Princess Linglong's worry continued, "But Yun Jingshu has been in the crowd for nearly two months, and she must have accumulated a lot of resentment. If it is really urgent, she will break the pot What can I do if I fall?"
Princess Linglong and Mrs. Sun said something to each other, each insisting on their own opinions, which gave the old lady a headache.
The final decision, "Let her go!"
Xiao Sun was shocked, "Old ancestor!"
The old lady Su said unhurriedly: "The fourth daughter-in-law is right. This woman has been grudges for too long. Don't see that she looks calm on the surface, but in fact she is full of bad water. Once she is in a hurry, she will really use the child Threats, don’t we all have to act according to her face? Rather than being threatened by her in the future, it’s better to let go, the big deal, I just arrange twenty or thirty women to follow, I don’t believe that she is a woman who is pregnant What new tricks can you play?"
Princess Linglong sighed, "That's the only way I can think of it."
Xiao Sun frowned, seeing that the two elders did not let go, she could only say, "Since the old ancestor has made up his mind, I will immediately order someone to prepare it."
The old lady ordered, "Arrange a day when the wind stops and the snow stops, so I can feel more at ease."
Otherwise, the road would be too slippery, and if she accidentally hurt her little great-grandson, no one would spare her!
"Yes."
-
Xuan Guo Gongfu.
Xiao Ji was telling Su Yan about the situation in the Su residence.
"Yun Jingshu proposed to go to the temple to offer incense, and the old lady agreed."
Yun Chuwei was not surprised at all, "If I were an old lady, I would agree."
You don't need to think about this matter to know that Yun Jingshu threatened the child in her stomach, forcing the old lady to agree to her going out.
After being locked up for so many days, she finally moved.
"What about the others? What's their attitude?" Su Yan asked.
"Grandma didn't agree at first, but seeing that the fourth wife and the old lady insisted, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and make arrangements."
Su Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at Yun Chuwei, "What do you think?"
Yun Chuwei said: "Although I don't know what Yun Jingshu wants to do at the moment, if she dares to go out in the wind and snow, it means that she must have other purposes. We have to find someone to follow and monitor her every move at any time."
Su Yan pondered, "Do you still remember... Shen Tao?"
Yun Chuwei's face darkened, "I remember that Shen Tao disappeared after Yun Jingshu went to Su's house after her marriage."
"Shen Tao wholeheartedly wants to seek revenge from you for her brother Shen Hongwen's legs being crippled, but now that you two have very different identities, she can only find a backer, so this backer must have a deep hatred with you. Looking around, Yun Jing Shu is the best candidate." Su Yan analyzed in an orderly manner, "Before Shen Tao took refuge in Yun Jingshu, she must have been involved in the Longquan Temple incident, but she never expected that the final victim was not you It's Yun Jingshu, your safe and sound will only make Shen Tao more unwilling. But Yun Jingshu has already lost, in order to avoid risks, she will definitely find a place to hide temporarily, and come out after the wind has passed."
Yun Chuwei suddenly realized, "So, what you mean is that Yun Jingshu is going to the temple to offer incense this time just to find a chance to meet Shen Tao?"
"Very likely." Su Yan nodded, "Yun Jingshu was expelled from the genealogy, and now she has no relationship with the Yun family, and she is restricted in the Su family, so she wants to take the initiative to contact Chen Tao, use Chen Tao's deep hatred for you to help her. As for the ultimate goal, I guess, she may want to leave the Su family."
Yun Chuwei was thoughtful, "The child in Yun Jingshu's stomach is the only bargaining chip she has in the Su family. The premise is that before the child is born, once the child is born, the Su family will have nothing to do with her. It will be a matter of time before she is tortured to death, she still has some brains, she thought of this early, and now she is starting to find a way for herself."
His eyes turned hard, "However, I will never give her this chance!"
Su Yan asked with a smile, "What are you going to do?"
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows mysteriously, "Wait and see."
-
On Yukun Mountain in the middle of the night, the wind is blowing and the snow is falling.
In the nunnery's guest room, Shen Tao slept very unsteadily. In her dreams, she was always being chased and killed, and she couldn't find a place to hide. In the end, she was stabbed in the chest with a sword and died.
Shen Tao woke up with a start, and found that she was covered in cold sweat, which had already soaked her underwear.
When the cold hit, Shen Tao shivered, and wrapped the quilt tightly.
She has been here for nearly three months. Ever since Yun Jingshu married into the Su family, she has tried her best to escape. A maid inexplicably disappeared.
Along the way, all the silver on Chen Tao's body was used up, and in the end she had no choice but to go up the mountain to beg for shelter, and finally fainted from hunger in front of the gate of the nunnery.
The teacher here is a kind person. Seeing her pitiful, she took her in to help with chores in the nunnery.
Shen Tao was used to rough work when she was in the embroidery village, these jobs in the nunnery were nothing to her at all.
However, since she lived in the nunnery, she often had nightmares, woke up twice in the middle of the night for three days, and had no energy during the day.
The death of Su Li in Longquan Temple left a terrible shadow on Shen Tao.
Because of that incident, she was an accomplice.
Shen Tao, a country girl who has never killed anyone in her life, was almost scared out of her wits the moment she saw Su Li's body in Yun Jingshu's room.
Originally, she and Xiuju were going to marry Su's family as a dowry, but when Shen Tao thought that she helped Yun Jingshu go down the mountain to find someone to make that candle and buy medicine that led to Su Li's death, she trembled violently After all, she didn't dare to follow Yun Jingshu to Su's house, took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and finally lived in a nunnery, planning to wait for a while to recover before going down the mountain to approach Yun Chuwei to seek revenge.
The night was getting darker and the snow was falling harder.
In such a cold winter, the nuns in the nunnery are all shrunk into the quilt, and no one will come out to run around.
At Haishi, the door of the nunnery was knocked heavily, the wind was loud, and the nuns were sleeping soundly, and no one heard the knock.
Only Shen Tao, who was waking up from the nightmare and curled up in the corner of the bed wrapped in a quilt, heard the unusual movement outside.
She wants to call someone, but at this time, all the little masters are asleep. Once she yells, she will only wake them up. If she is kicked out, then she is really homeless.
As a last resort, Chen Tao put on her clothes, got out of bed, opened the door, and walked towards the gate of the nunnery.
After pulling the latch, Shen Tao forcefully pushed open the heavy door.
There was a group of ferocious rough men standing outside, the leader held up the torch, saw that the person who opened the door was Shen Tao, he smiled ferociously, and waved back, "Brothers, catch this little slave and take him back to work! "
Shen Tao was shocked, she turned around and was about to run in, but was grabbed by the back collar and fell to the ground two or three times.
Shen Tao bared her teeth in pain.
The men brought the rope they had prepared earlier in the morning and quickly tied it up for her.
Shen Tao's hands and feet were tied tightly, unable to move, only one mouth could speak.
"Who the hell are you and why did you tie me up?" Her face was pale and her voice was filled with fear.
The man who spoke just now raised the rattan whip in his hand, slapped Shen Tao fiercely, and scolded, "Anyone who dares to betray the master will be treated as a fugitive slave. You guys, hurry up, the fifth grandma is still waiting for a lecture. Woolen cloth!"
Shen Tao had never suffered such physical pain, she couldn't bear it with just one whip, she cried out in pain.
Although she didn't know these people, she finally understood that the "Fifth Grandma" that the man was talking about, who was Yun Jingshu who just married into the Su family?
Another whip came down, this time directly towards her delicate face, a bloodstain split open, the blood flowed down the cheek to the corner of the mouth, it was extremely fishy and sweet.
Yun Jingshu!
Chen Tao gritted her teeth. She made an agreement when she took refuge in the first place. She would not be a slave for life. She just wanted to help Yun Jingshu get rid of Yun Chuwei, a villain. She didn't expect that in the end, she fell into Yun Jingshu hand!
hatred!
Chen Tao was in unbearable pain, sobbing in a low voice, with hatred surging in her heart.
They have already married into the Su family, Yun Jingshu didn't want to seek revenge on Yun Chuwei, but set the fire on her, a country girl. Today, she can see clearly that there are such small-bellied women in the world.
The men stopped talking, one of them stuffed Shen Tao's mouth with a cloth ball, then found a sack, put it on Shen Tao's head, picked it up nimbly, and followed the leader down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was slightly bright, and the big man carrying Shen Tao directly threw her into the open-air carriage, and a group of people put on coir raincoats, whistled, and walked along the road back to the city against the wind and snow.
A luxurious carriage was approaching. The driver was wearing a bamboo hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly. The thick felt curtain inside the carriage was drawn tightly, so he had no idea who was sitting inside.
Shen Tao heard movement outside, and when the carriage passed by the open-air carriage, her mouth was gagged and she kept "wowing". Although the sound was not loud, it still came out.
A deep and clear voice suddenly came from inside the gorgeous carriage, "Stop!"
The two carriages crossed the road, and the strong men looked at each other vigilantly. The curtains of the carriages had never been opened, but they seemed to see through the curtains the domineering king who could not be approached by the people sitting inside.
The leading man trembled and cupped his hands: "May I ask your honorable name?"
A sneer came from behind the curtain, "So many people bully a girl who is powerless, what kind of rules are there?"
The brawny man said: "She is just a runaway slave. I was ordered to arrest her and prepare to take her back to the master for disposal. If you have nothing else to do, let's leave now."
"If I insist on letting her stay!"
The man's voice was indescribably lazy and leisurely, and it was clearly a question of consultation, but it sounded like he was ordering them to keep him.
The strong man shrank his eyes, "This is a matter of our family, your Excellency had better not interfere, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, the guard driving the car pulled out a shining sword from his waist, and before everyone had time to see clearly, he cut off one of the strong man's left ear at an extremely fast speed.
"Ahhh-"
For a moment, the heart-wrenching roar of the strong man sounded on the silent official road.
Seeing this, the rest of the men panicked.
"Give...give him the man!" The strong man at the head managed to say a word, and fainted from the pain, the others hurriedly threw Chen Tao out of the open-air carriage, helped the strong man with one ear missing up, Waving his horsewhip, he quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
"Let her out." The voice in the carriage continued, this time speaking to the guard driving the carriage.
The guard got the order, and immediately came over and opened the sack covering Shen Tao, and untied her again.
Shen Tao forcefully tore off the cloth strips stuffed into her mouth, panting heavily.
Although she didn't know the people in the carriage, she knew that there was a very important person sitting inside the carriage and the extraordinary skill of the guards just now.
After she was out of breath, Shen Tao knelt down on the ground and thanked her, "Thank you benefactor for saving me."
"Are you a fugitive slave?" the man in the carriage asked.
Shen Tao shook her head desperately, "No, the little girl is from Xinghua Village, Yong'an Town, Qingyang County, Quanzhou. This time, she came to Beijing to find relatives, but she met a human trafficker and was sold to a rich family as a slave. I really can't help it." , thinking of escaping."
She said it seriously, trying to disguise herself as an innocent victim, trying to win the sympathy of the other party.
"I think he's a poor man." The person in the carriage sighed softly.
Chen Tao seized the opportunity and kowtowed again and again, "The little girl is really desperate, please take me in."
As long as you can have a distinguished personage as your backer, you are not afraid that you will not be able to take revenge!
The people in the carriage pondered for a moment, then ordered the guards again, "Let her come up!"
Shen Tao's eyes lit up, she rubbed her frozen hands and followed the guards into the carriage.
A heater was placed in the carriage, and as soon as she entered, a gust of hot air rushed to her face, warming her from body to heart.
"Please sit down." The soft and charming voice instantly stunned Chen Tao.
In her lifetime, it was the first time she saw such a good-looking person. His long eyebrows were like feathers, and they flew obliquely into the temples. He looked frivolous and flamboyant, but in fact he was calm and introverted, hiding his edge. His thin red lips raised a slight curve, which was very cool. I can't tell if it's a smile or something else.
It was snowing heavily outside, the plum blossoms were blooming, and the frosty beauties all over the mountain were so gorgeous that they couldn't take away any color from him.
It seems that as long as this person is there, the silver frost and snow outside, and the ten-mile plum forest will become a foil, and it will be dimmed in an instant.
Shen Tao was completely stunned and could not speak anymore, she only had one sentence in her mind at this moment: This man is so good-looking, it made her heart thump and beat non-stop.
"girl."
He made a sound and gestured again, "Please sit down."
Shen Tao took a glance, there were seats on three sides of the carriage, and they were quite spacious and clean. She was dirty and didn't have the nerve to dirty other people's seats, so she had to drag the little stick to sit on it.
"May I ask, what's your benefactor's name?" Shen Tao blushed, a little at a loss.
When she was in the Dongyang Hou Mansion, she always thought that Mr. Yun was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Later, when she saw the uncle of the Yun family—Mr. Xuan Guo Su Yan, she was even more shocked. The position is not much less than that of Xuan Guogong, which makes her bump into a deer, and even speaks a little incoherently.
The one sitting opposite Shen Tao was none other than He Lianjin, the demon king who was not inferior to Su Yan in appearance.
The fact that Shen Tao was "robbed" this time was actually a scene arranged by Yun Chuwei, in order for He Lianjin to come and "save the beauty" to subdue Shen Tao first.
Originally, He Lianjin was not happy, but Yun Chuwei said that after the matter was completed, he would invite Xu Han to visit Duke Xuanguo's mansion. From this point of view, he reluctantly agreed.
As for letting Bai Shu cut off one of the strong man's ears just now?
Yun Chuwei never gave such orders, He Lianjin came here according to his preferences, and he never had much feeling for the life and death of people he didn't care about.
Restraining the disgust in his heart again and again, He Lianjin said: "What is my surname, you don't need to ask any more. Since you want to take refuge in me, you must be loyal from now on. I never support useless people by my side."
Shen Tao hurriedly said: "Master, please rest assured, this servant will definitely be loyal to you from now on."
He Lianjin nodded, picked up a towel from the small table beside her and handed it to her, "Wipe."
Shen Tao was beaten by a strong man with a whip before, and there were scars on his face, which were still bleeding.
With a blushing face, she took the handkerchief, and Shen Tao wiped the wound lightly on the radiant young couple, it hurt a lot, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
Growing up so big, it was the first time a man was so gentle to him.
Besides, this man is so good-looking.
Thinking of this, Shen Tao felt that she could hardly breathe.
He Lianjin looked away and ordered Bai Shu, "Turn around."
The carriage drove slowly along the way, and the weather was extremely cold. There were very few carriages, horses and pedestrians traveling on the official road, so it was a bit quiet along the way.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Shu saw a group of people in front of him from a distance, looking at their attire, they seemed to be servant girls and servants from a certain house.
"Master, someone is blocking the way ahead." Bai Shu said.
He Lianjin ordered lightly, "Go and have a look."
Bai Shu drove the carriage aside and stopped, jumped off the shaft and walked over, asking with a stiff face, "What's going on?"
Everyone followed the reputation and came over, only to see that the person who came was cold and serious, his face was mostly covered by the bamboo hat on his head, and he couldn't see clearly, only the guard's badge hanging around his waist was dazzling.
This is the badge of the palace.
The maids and servants looked at each other, their expressions changed again and again, and after a while, they hurriedly moved out of the way.
Bai Shu walked over slowly, and saw a carriage parked in the middle, it looked like something was broken, it couldn't be repaired for a while, and he couldn't leave.
He casually asked one of the maids.
It turned out that these servants were all from the Su Mansion, escorting Yun Jingshu to the temple to offer incense, but the carriage broke down halfway, and they couldn't move on, and there was no way to the village or shop behind this place, so a group of people could only wait on the spot Do it in a hurry.
Yun Jingshu was protected in the middle by the maid and mother-in-law to protect her from the cold.
Looking at this scene, Yun Jingshu raised the corners of her lips triumphantly. The old woman of the Su family persuaded her to come on a day when the wind stopped snowing. .
Because the carriage is easy to break in windy and snowy weather, all she needs is for the carriage to have an accident on the way, so she can wait for the opportunity to escape and find Shen Tao.
Seeing Bai Shu's waist badge, Yun Jingshu was overjoyed, and immediately had an idea.
She hastily pushed away the servant girls who surrounded her, and walked towards Bai Shu with a gentle smile on her face, "May I ask, which master's guard is this eldest brother in the palace?"
Bai Shu recognized Yun Jingshu, so he glanced at her lightly, "Second Highness."
Second Highness?
Yun Jingshu's eyebrows twitched, it turned out to be the devil incarnation.
Although it may be risky to provoke this person, it seems to be her only way out at present.
Immediately calming down, Yun Jingshu said politely, "Since the Second Highness is here, I'll go over and say hello to him."
Bai Shu didn't speak, Yun Jingshu followed him to He Lianjin's carriage.
The felt curtain of the carriage was still closed, and the people inside were silent.
Yun Jingshu paused, then bent her knees, "Jingshu has seen His Highness the Second Highness."
Originally, Yun Jingshu had already married into the Su family, and she had to call herself a "courier's wife" in front of He Lianjin, but when she thought of what the Su family had done to her, Yun Jingshu would only feel cold-hearted, and she didn't want to admit it at all. Due to her unbearable status, she subconsciously regarded herself as an unmarried girl.
He Lianjin lifted the curtain, and when he saw the people standing outside, he raised his lips with great interest, "Fifth Young Madam of the Su family?"
Such a title undoubtedly pierced Yun Jingshu's heart, and she looked very uncomfortable.
"What happened in front?" He Lianjin turned to ask Bai Shu.
Bai Shu said: "Second Highness, the Su family's carriage broke down on the way and they are repairing it, but it looks like it won't get better in a while, you see..."
He Lianjin rested her chin, as if deliberating.
Yun Jingshu took the opportunity to say: "Please take pity on the Second Highness, we are in a hurry to go to the temple to pay homage, but the carriage suddenly broke down, there is no way to go to this place, there is no shop behind the village, and it is still snowing, so I am afraid there is no way to get there. Can you ask Second Highness to give me a ride?"
He Lianjin lazily raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that the carriage broke down on the way, it's so cold, it's really cold to stand below, come up!"
Yun Jingshu was overjoyed.
In fact, ever since Yun Jingshu appeared, Shen Tao in the carriage had heard her voice, bit her lips tightly, and clenched her fists tightly. If He Lianjin was not there, she would definitely rush down and tear her to pieces. Yun Jingshu's hypocritical face.
When she heard that Yun Jingshu was about to get into the carriage, Shen Tao's eyebrows were extremely tangled, and she called out in a low voice, "Second Highness..."
She yelled these three words with a trembling voice. She didn't know He Lianjin's identity before, and she always thought that he was just the son of a rich family. When Yun Jingshu called He Lianjin "Second Highness", Shen Tao's heart almost jumped out of her chest.
"What's the matter?" He Lianjin with a smile as gentle as jade, directly hooked Shen Tao's soul.
"No, nothing." Clenching her sleeves tightly, Chen Tao bit her lower lip, and finally swallowed back what she wanted to say, shaking her head.
Yun Jingshu lifted the curtain of the car, and when she saw Shen Tao sitting inside, she was shocked for a moment, "Shen Tao? Why...how could it be you?"
Chen Tao recalled the scene when she was almost killed by those big men in the nunnery before, and her face became more indifferent, "Young Madam may have misidentified the person, the servant is the servant girl next to the Second Highness."
Yun Jingshu was stunned, "You said, you are the personal maid of His Highness the Second Highness?"
"Yes." Shen Tao answered directly without thinking.
"Why, do you know each other?" He Lianjin asked.
"know."
"do not know."
The two spoke in unison.
He Lianjin looked at Yun Jingshu with a half-smile.
Yun Jingshu was a little embarrassed, "The appearance of this little maid is too similar to someone I knew before."
"That's fate." He Lianjin smiled lightly, "Please sit down."
Yun Jingshu sat down on the spacious seat, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, this time she went out of the city, she wanted to come to Chen Tao to discuss how to escape from Su's house, she did not expect to meet her here, although she didn't know why Shen Tao didn't She didn't recognize herself, but Yun Jingshu was very sure that the person sitting on the twig was indeed Shen Tao.
"Which temple does the young lady plan to go to?" He Lianjin asked.
Yun Jingshu didn't expect He Lianjin to be so talkative, so she relaxed her vigilance, "I'm going to Guanyin Temple."
In fact, the main purpose is to find Chen Tao. Now that Shen Tao is in the carriage, it is the same for her to go anywhere, but since she puts the words first, she still has to put on a show, otherwise it will be easy to be suspicious, especially It's the Su family.
Without further ado, He Lianjin asked Bai Shu to drive to Guanyin Temple.
The maidservant of the Su residence followed outside, leaving behind a few servants to repair the carriage.
Because when I came here, I got the earnest instructions from the eldest grandma, Xiao Sun, and no one dared to slack off, otherwise, if something happened to Yun Jingshu and the child in her stomach, they, the servants, would all suffer.
When arriving at Guanyin Temple, Yun Jingshu had no choice but to get out of the carriage first.
He Lianjin sat still, and told Shen Tao, "Just now the fifth young lady of the Su family said that you are like an old friend she knows. I think you two hit it off, why don't you go to the Guanyin Temple to worship together, it can be considered that you met a nobleman halfway .”
Shen Tao wanted to refuse aloud, but when she met He Lianjin's eyes full of tenderness, she immediately blushed again and lowered her head, "Thank you, Second Highness."
After getting off the carriage, Yun Jingshu took the initiative to come over to say hello to Shen Tao.
Shen Tao's complexion was not very good, and she even dismissed Yun Jingshu's deliberate approach.
"Shen Tao?" Unwilling, Yun Jingshu called again tentatively, "I know it's you, but I just didn't expect you to change to a new master so quickly."
Shen Tao suddenly sneered, "Why, I have changed to a new master, so the Young Madam is jealous and jealous, even looking for someone to take my life?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yun Jingshu frowned, "When will I make people feel sorry for you?"
"Young lady knows what you have done, so you don't have to ask me to repeat it?"
Yun Jingshu became more and more confused, and grabbed Shen Tao's arm, "Speak clearly, what have I done to you?"
"Young madam!" Shen Tao coldly shook her off, "I am now the second highness's personal maid, please pay attention to your identity."
"Shen Tao!" Yun Jingshu was a little annoyed, "How did you tell me when you went to Dongyang Hou's mansion, you patted your chest and promised to be loyal to me in this life, this time I have no choice but to marry into the Su family, you half way Run away, I don't plan to argue with you anymore, I never thought that when we meet again, you will treat me with such an attitude, yes, marrying into the Su family, I am down and out, and I am no longer the third young lady of Dongyang Houfu who used to be so beautiful , but I think I treat you well, so why do you have to be ruthless? After all, I am the master, and you are just a humble slave. Now that you have just changed your master, you dare not take me seriously, right? ? You have a big shelf!"
Shen Tao didn't speak.
How deep is this woman's scheming, she has seen it when she was in Dongyang Hou's mansion, all of this is just acting, if she really values her so much, why did she send someone to kidnap her last night?
If it wasn't for the Second Highness's rescue, she would have died in the hands of those people long ago.
"Shen Tao." Thinking that she needed an outside helper, Yun Jingshu had to soften her tone, "I came out this time to find you for something."
"Young Madam." Shen Tao turned around and said with a wooden face: "I have to go back to serve His Highness the Second Highness."
After finishing speaking, she walked out without waiting for Yun Jingshu to speak.
Yun Jingshu froze on the spot, full of bewilderment and helplessness.
Why did everything go against her plan?
If Shen Tao didn't help her, how would she escape from the Su family?
Yun Jingshu clenched her fists.
After preparing for so long, it was hard to get Mrs. Su to promise her to come out. If she returns without gaining anything, then she really can only wait to die in Su's mansion from now on.
Shen Tao walked out of the gate of Guanyin Temple, picked up the curtain and got into He Lianjin's carriage.
He Lianjin lay on his side on the seat and slept lightly, propping his head with one hand, that lazy and casual appearance was very tempting, Shen Tao's heartbeat accelerated again involuntarily.
Bai Shu stood beside the carriage with a cold expression on his face.
The curtains of the carriage were rolled up, so he could clearly see what was inside the carriage.
If Mrs. Qingluan hadn't entrusted her, why would his master have let other women get into the carriage? The seat next to the master has long been reserved for that girl Xu. From the look in her eyes, she is worthy of such a vulgar and shallow appearance?
Shen Tao was staring at He Lianjin's sleeping face and her heart fluttered, when she suddenly noticed that Bai Shu outside the carriage was looking at her with contemptuous eyes.
She was annoyed immediately, and put down the felt curtain, covering everything inside tightly.
Bai Shu's face became more and more ugly.
This woman's face is too big, who do you think she is?
Even those noble ladies in Beijing who love His Highness the Second Highness would not be polite when they saw him as a personal bodyguard. They wished to please him so that they would have a better impression in front of His Highness Second Highness. Shen Tao is fine, a humble person How dare you put on airs in front of him?
Bai Shu couldn't swallow this breath, thinking about returning to the capital to see how he would deal with this ignorant lowly maidservant!
-
Being spoiled by Shen Tao, Yun Jingshu didn't stay in the Guanyin Temple for long, she pretended to pay her respects and then came out. She originally wanted to rub He Lianjin's carriage, but Su's family stayed behind to repair the carriage Those little servants who came here drove the carriage over.
Yun Jingshu frowned.
The servant woman said: "Young Madam, please."
Yun Jingshu gritted her teeth unwillingly, she hadn't done anything yet, did she really want to go back to Su Mansion like this?
This time, it will be very difficult to have a chance to escape in the future.
Seeing her standing still, the maid reminded her again.
Yun Jingshu said "oh", "I want to get some air outside."
The maid became nervous, "But are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Jingshu took advantage of the situation and said, "It's a little uncomfortable." After speaking, she stretched out her hands to support her head, looking very uncomfortable.
The servant girl's expression changed drastically, "Then you should get in the carriage and rest."
"Probably because I was too bored in the carriage just now." Of course, Yun Jingshu couldn't get into the Su family's carriage so early and head home. Her goal was He Lianjin. From the point of view of getting along, the Second Highness is quite nice.
Since Shen Tao's line is no longer feasible, she can only place her final bet on He Lianjin.
The servant woman was relieved when she heard that it was just because she was bored, not because of any discomfort.
Yun Jingshu stood there for a while, but didn't see any movement in the carriage parked there. She pursed her lower lip and planned to go over to have a look in person.
Bai Shu was still standing outside, when he saw Yun Jingshu approaching, he crossed his arm to stop her, "The Second Highness is sleeping, please don't disturb anyone."
Yun Jingshu was taken aback, "Sleep?"
Shen Tao is still on the carriage!
Could it be that the Second Highness treats her...?
No, it's impossible, the Second Highness has the appearance of a god, and how many beautiful ladies in Beijing have failed to win his favor, how could he be interested in a lowly maidservant from the countryside?
Yun Jingshu wanted to say something more, but Bai Shu's face showed a bit of impatience, "Young Madam, please come back."
"I have a few words that I want to say to the Second Highness alone." In desperation, Yun Jingshu couldn't care less about her image and reputation.
Bai Shu was dumbfounded, and after a moment, he came back to his senses, "Mrs. Su, you are a married woman."
"Your Excellency misunderstood." Yun Jingshu was very anxious, she was running out of time, she had to fight, "I am looking for the Second Highness, it is really urgent, I hope you can be accommodating."
Bai Shu put on a stern face.
Obviously, it is impossible to ask him to sell favors.
"Bai Shu, let her come over."
He Lianjin's voice suddenly came from the carriage.
Yun Jingshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly trotted over with her skirt.
He Lianjin opened his eyes, sat up straight, and opened the curtain to see it himself.
Seeing his eyes, Yun Jingshu felt a little guilty, and lowered her head a little.
"What do you want from me?" He Lianjin asked.
Yun Jingshu glanced back to make sure that the servants could not hear her, so she whispered, "Second Highness, please help me."
He Lianjin gave an "oh" in doubt, "help you?"
"Yes." Yun Jingshu was full of urgency, "Don't look at how many people surrounded me when I went out. In fact, they all came to monitor me. The old lady has a vicious mind and wants to take this opportunity to let people Kill me outside, I'm pregnant, I don't want to die, Second Highness, please save my life for the sake of my unborn child!"
He Lianjin chuckled, "Are you pregnant?"
Yun Jingshu nodded hastily.
"What does it have to do with my prince?" The dull and clueless words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on the head.
Yun Jingshu froze in place, forgetting to react.
"Bai Shu, set off."
Bai Shu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly left the Guanyin Temple in his carriage.
Inside the carriage.
He Lianjin glanced at Shen Tao lightly.
"Are you the maid beside Yun Jingshu?"
Shen Tao was flustered, "How did the Second Highness know?"
"When you saw her, your eyes were full of hatred." He Lianjin said.
Shen Tao pursed her lips, that's right, when she saw Yun Jingshu, she wished she could tear her apart.
"At the Guanyin Temple just now, it can be regarded as a small revenge for you."
In a word, Shen Tao felt an unprecedented warmth, she was full of gratitude, and wished to give her body right away.
I thought that all the nobles in Tianhuang had their eyes above the top and couldn't see the low-level people like them, but I didn't expect the Second Highness to be so kind and considerate.
Chen Tao thought, if she had the chance to sleep with such a perfect person, even if she didn't have the chance, she would be willing to be by his side as a slave for the rest of her life.
He Lianjin took all of Shen Tao's facial expressions into his eyes, and at an angle she couldn't see, the smile on his lips was bloodthirsty and cruel.
