Chapter 229 "A Thousand Miles to Find Husband" Lu Jingyao
Capital, Wei Mansion.
The setting sun in the sky was as orange as fire, burning the clouds and turning them into a sunset glow.
Lu Jingyao leaned on the windowsill with her arms, looking at the beautiful sunset, but her heart was in great pain.
Today is the tenth day of March, and more than ten days have passed since her "half-year agreement" with Wei Changtian.
Lu Jingyao was originally counting the days, preparing to head straight to Shuzhou when the time came.
But at this critical juncture, Daning fell into complete chaos.
Under such circumstances, Wei Xianzhi would certainly not let her travel thousands of miles to Shuzhou to find Wei Changtian. He even did not allow her to leave the mansion for safety reasons.
After all, if the Liu family uses the same old trick to kidnap again, then this powerless daughter-in-law will be the best choice.
Since she couldn't go out, Lu Jingyao could only stay in the house all day and listen to the servants talk about what was happening outside.
At the Chunlong Poetry Meeting, the husband composed nine poems that were passed down through the ages, the Liu family's plot to assassinate the husband failed, the Xu family held the prince hostage for rebellion, and Dafeng intended to send troops to the Western Frontier. Although at Wei Xianzhi's instruction, the servants mostly reported good news and not bad news when talking about these things, Lu Jingyao still heard from them the turbulence of the current situation in Daning.
The more this happened, the more she worried about Wei Changtian's safety, and the more she wanted to go to Shuzhou regardless of everything. "Madam, what are you looking at?"
The door was gently pushed open, and Qiuyun, who had just finished feeding the three big hens in the yard, walked in.
"I see you've been lying here for half an hour."
"nothing."
Lu Jingyao propped herself up, rubbed her numb arms, and asked with a frown, "Qiuyun, do you think if I go and beg my father-in-law again, will he allow us to go to Shuzhou?"
"Madam, I'm afraid the master won't agree."
Qiu Yun didn't know how many times she had answered this question: "This is also for your own good."
"But."
Lu Jingyao murmured: "But I really can't let go of my husband."
"I am also worried about you, young master."
Qiuyun walked closer and continued to persuade: "Madam, but let's listen to the master."
"If the master doesn't agree, we can't go even if we want to."
“.”
Hearing this, Lu Jingyao immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
At present, the Wei Mansion is surrounded by guards both openly and secretly. Without Wei Xianzhi's consent, he really can't even get out of the gate.
On the other side, Qiu Yun thought she had figured it out, so she took the opportunity to say, "Madam, the meal is ready."
"I won't eat it anymore."
Lu Jingyao interrupted sullenly, then without even taking off her clothes she crawled into the bed curtains and began to shut herself off.
Qiuyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and walked out of the room. When she came back, she was holding a small wooden tray with a few refreshing side dishes and a bowl of white porridge.
"Madam, if you don't want to eat, just drink some porridge."
“.”
"Madam, if you don't eat all the time, what will you do if you get hungry?"
“.”
"Madam, the young master asked me to take good care of you before he left."
“.”
"Madam, if you still don't eat, I will write a letter to complain to you."
".snort!"
With a muffled groan, Lu Jingyao finally poked her head out from behind the curtain.
"Qiuyun! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have taught you to read!"
"It's too late for you to regret now, Madam."
Qiuyun calmly put down the wooden plate and placed the chopsticks and spoon in place, but she still showed no intention of leaving.
Lu Jingyao felt "threatened" and although she really had no appetite, she didn't want to make Wei Changtian worry, so she had to get out of bed reluctantly and start eating.
“Gurgle gurgle~”
"Baji, Baji~"
The food that Qiuyun brought was not much to begin with, and Lu Jingyao just wanted to finish her meal quickly and go back to her own room, so the bowl of porridge was soon finished.
"Ma'am, I'll get another bowl."
Qiuyun wanted to pick up the bowl first, but Lu Jingyao immediately reached out to protect the porcelain bowl.
"No more! I'm full!"
Although he didn't know whether Lu Jingyao was really full or just angry, Qiu Yun hesitated for a moment and didn't force her. He turned around and prepared to leave with the wooden plate.
But at this moment. "Bang!"
A muffled sound suddenly came from behind.
Qiuyun quickly looked back and saw Lu Jingyao covering her forehead with tears in her eyes, and kicking the bedpost in front of her hard.
“.”
Obviously, he hit his head accidentally.
Qiu Yun felt both distressed and wanted to laugh at the same time, and wanted to ask Lu Jingyao if she was okay.
But the next moment, she was stunned again.
Not only Qiu Yun, but even Lu Jingyao forgot the pain on her forehead for a moment, and looked towards a place beside the bed with her mouth wide open.
There was nothing here originally, but now there is a big black hole.
"Madam, what is this?"
"Okay, it seems to be a secret passage."
Two hours later.
In a dead end about half a mile away from the Wei Mansion, a piece of grass suddenly shook slightly a few times, and then rose up little by little. A pair of big eyes slowly appeared in the gap, looked around vigilantly, and then quickly shrank back.
"Qiuyun! That's Qingyu Lane outside!"
In the fluorescent tunnel, Lu Jingyao looked excited: "If we go out from here, the guards at home will not notice it! Then we can go to Shuzhou to find my husband by ourselves!"
"lady."
Qiu Yun, holding up the Night Pearl, looked helpless: "Even if the guards in the palace can't detect it, how can two women like us get from the capital to Shuzhou?"
"Oh, just find an escort agency."
Lu Jingyao said nonchalantly: "If it doesn't work, just buy a carriage and hire a driver!"
"We have money, so why can't we go?"
"But if we run away secretly"
Qiuyun said worriedly, "The master will be furious when he finds out."
"If my father-in-law wants to blame someone, he should blame me. It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Jingyao first took the initiative to take all the responsibility, but when she saw Qiuyun still resisting, she suddenly changed her strategy.
"Qiuyun, the Wei family and the Liu family are fighting to the death right now, and your husband will definitely not have a peaceful life in Shuzhou."
"Aren't you worried about your husband?"
"Worried, but"
"Don't you wish you could be with your husband at a time like this?"
"I hope so."
"Don't you want to share life and death, and hardships with your husband?"
"willing."
"Then do you want to go to Shuzhou with me?"
"think"
Although Qiuyun is more mature than Yuaner, she is not very opinionated.
What's more, Lu Jingyao used Wei Changtian as "bait" and immediately shook her.
"not to mention"
Looking at Qiuyun who had a conflicted look on her face, Lu Jingyao delivered the final blow at the right time.
"Besides, my husband has promised to marry you and Yuan'er."
"If we go to Shuzhou earlier, my husband can fulfill this matter sooner, right?"
"And if we delay any further, when my husband finds a new love in Shuzhou, then..."
"lady!"
Qiuyun suddenly interrupted, "Let's go back and pack our luggage!"
