Chapter 42: Go to Xie’s house!
Meng Mingshu shuddered when she met Xie Yuan's eyes.
Meng Mingshu knew him because she had lived with Xie Yuan in her previous life.
On the surface, Xie Yuan looks like a handsome and elegant gentleman, but in his heart he is as vicious as Xie Zhiwan.
He is even more like a poisonous snake than Xie Zhiwan.
"Oh, sure."
Xie Zhiwan's smile deepened, and she looked at Meng Mingshu meaningfully:
"Brother, even if you didn't ask me for the person, I would have sent him over."
"She provoked her brother, so she must be taught a lesson. She will know who to provoke and who not to provoke."
Xie Yuan nodded calmly: "I'll take that person away."
Xie Zhiwan nodded: "Okay, but brother, please remember to send the person back to me in a few days. I'm not tired of playing with him yet."
"good."
Meng Mingshu was taken to Xie Yuan's residence.
Unable to figure out Xie Yuan's purpose, Meng Mingshu did not dare to act rashly at this moment.
"Tuan'er, Tuan'er..."
Meng Mingshu kept calling Tuan'er's name.
She and Tuan'er were taken to the servants' side room.
Although she took off Tuan'er's wet clothes immediately, Tuan'er still had a fever.
Children are weak and fever is not a trivial matter.
Meng Mingshu panicked and ran out holding Tuaner.
No matter what method is used, she wants the court doctor to see Tuan'er.
Just as she ran out, she heard the conversation between Xie Zhiwan and Xie Yuan in the yard.
Xie Zhiwan actually arrived at Xie Yuan's yard.
"Brother, tell me what you want to do. I want to join you."
Xie Yuan smiled and said: "Killing someone is like destroying their heart. Meng Mingshu cares so much about her bastard, so naturally we have to start with the bastard.
Instead of making such a petty quarrel today, it is better to make her heartbroken."
Xie Zhiwan's eyes lit up: "Brother, what do you want to do?
I actually thought about attacking this brat, but if he died, what would happen if Meng Mingshu died from hitting her head against the wall?
It was precisely because of this concern that Xie Zhiwan was still very kind to that bastard.
"Know the limits. If you don't want to kill that bastard, he will be a scourge to the Xie family if he stays in the Xie family."
"Selling her to a brothel and hiring someone to train her is enough to make Meng Mingshu fall into our hands, leaving her in a state of being unable to live or die."
Xie Zhiwan's voice rose a few notches, and she was obviously excited: "Brother must have a way. Then let's do it this way. I'll start tomorrow."
Meng Mingshu felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.
She didn't care about anything, not that this was the Xie family, nor did she care whether she could escape.
She just held Tuaner and ran out.
At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind: I can't stay in the Xie family anymore.
She would never let Tuan'er fall into the hands of these two people, let alone let Tuan'er be hurt by them.
With a single breath, Meng Mingshu managed to leave Xie's house smoothly carrying Tuan'er.
Meng Mingshu vaguely realized that something was wrong.
The Xie family’s guards couldn’t possibly be so lax.
But she couldn't care about anything at the moment. She had no horse, and the fastest way to escape was by water.
Meng Mingshu held Tuan'er in her arms and went to the dock without stopping for a moment.
She wants to go by boat.
But as soon as she arrived at the dock, Meng Mingshu froze in place, her face as pale as paper.
She saw the guards of the Xie family, as well as Xie Yuan and Xie Zhiwan.
When she left Xie's house, the two men were still in the courtyard.
But now the two of them were sitting calmly in the pavilion at the pier.
Meng Mingshu understood everything.
She was fooled by Xie Yuan and his sister.
They deliberately let her go, like a cat playing with a mouse.
He deliberately let her leave the Xie Mansion so that she would think that there was hope and that she could escape from the den of evil that was the Xie family.
Then, when she thought she could escape, he dealt her a heavy blow, leaving her in complete despair.
No wonder, no wonder she was able to leave Xie Mansion so smoothly today.
As expected, it’s Xie Yuan.
At this moment, an extraordinary anger surged in Meng Mingshu's heart.
Xie Yuan and his sister knew that she couldn't swim, and they also knew that she was worried about Tuan'er.
They were more confident that as long as they were in Chongzhou Prefecture, with so many Xie family guarding them.
Even if she was allowed to leave the Xie family for a short time, Meng Mingshu could not escape.
They were so confident and teasing her like this.
The surging anger gave Meng Mingshu courage.
Rather than watching Tuan'er being sold by Xie Yuan, and rather than having her and her daughter being humiliated like this, it would be better to take a gamble.
Meng Mingshu made a decision in her heart.
When Xie Zhiwan threw her into the pool again and again today, Meng Mingshu had already learned to swim.
So Meng Mingshu jumped into the river with Tuan'er in her arms without hesitation and floated downstream.
Xie Zhiwan and Xie Yuan's calm faces finally showed some signs of emotion.
"Quick, what are you standing there for? Go catch her!"
Xie Zhiwan finally caught Meng Mingshu, but she hadn't had enough fun yet. She didn't want Meng Mingshu to die, nor did she want her to run away.
"Miss, this... this water is flowing too fast."
Xie Zhiwan's face was grim: "Why, are you afraid of death?"
"Jump down and catch him no matter what. I want him alive."
Xie Yuan stopped Xie Zhiwan. Although his expression was not good, he was very rational.
"Awan, things have come to this point. There's no point getting angry."
Xie Yuan thought Meng Mingshu wouldn't dare, but he didn't expect her to be so brave that she wasn't even afraid of death.
"One of you will row the boats and chase them, while the other will search downstream on both banks."
Xie Zhiwan looked at Meng Mingshu, whose figure was getting smaller and smaller as the water rushed by, and she was furious and cursed:
"Well, since she dared to jump into the river, let her die!"
"It would be better if she died in the river, taking her bastard with her with her body!"
Xie Zhiwan was certain that Meng Mingshu would not survive.
…
"Tuan'er, Tuan'er..."
When Meng Mingshu woke up again, she was in the reeds.
This large area of reeds blocked her and Tuan'er's view, and indirectly saved their lives.
"Mother...Mother, Tuan'er is cold, please hold me..."
Tuan'er's voice was weak and her body temperature was higher than before.
Meng Mingshu realized that Tuan'er must take medicine quickly.
And they must not hide in these reeds.
The Xie family will definitely search this place along the coast.
The most important thing right now is to run, run far away and hide.
It was night when we left Xie's house.
Although the sky is still dark today, we can already see some light, and it will be bright soon.
Meng Mingshu made up her mind and ran into the mountains with Tuan'er in her arms.
If he is hiding in a farmer's home, the Xie family only needs to search in nearby villages and towns.
With the power of the Xie family, the entire village will be the eyes and ears of the Xie family.
So she couldn't go to the nearby villages.
She had seen Xiao Yan practice medicine before and knew some herbs that could cure colds.
This herb is very common in the mountains during this season.
Once she entered the mountains, she would be able to find herbs to treat Tuan'er, and also avoid the search by the Xie family's guards who were chasing her closely.

"Is she still in prison?"
Doctor Wang shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is in my home. When I was released from prison, I asked my family to redeem you."
"lead the way!"
Xiao Yan didn't care about the wound that had just stopped bleeding, and hurriedly got up and walked out.
Liu Zhongquan, Cui Zhe and others were about to set off for Chongzhou Prefecture.
When he heard the news, he followed Xiao Yan with the number of people he had just counted.
Doctor Wang was extremely excited as he led the way. Fortunately, he had instructed his family to treat Meng Mingshu well.
Even though it was only two days, it was still a favor after all.
But when Doctor Wang took his people home, he heard unexpected news.
"Dad, we did want to bring them home that day, but they were kidnapped on the street."
Xiao Yan was stunned and clenched his fists: "Who took them away?"
“I… I heard the woman yell at the guy opposite to thank him for being late.
The man opposite is sitting in a carriage with servants by his side, so he must be of some high status."
Liu Zhongquan kept repeating the name:
"Your Highness! I just remembered. It's the Xie family. The youngest daughter of the Xie family is called Xie Zhiwan."
"The Xie family did come to Sui County the day before yesterday and wanted to see you, but I declined and asked them to leave Sui County."
Xiao Yan's eyes were cold and sinister:
"Go to Xie's!"
