Is it embarrassing to let her go back?

Liu'er can understand it.

Even though the young lady was around, no one would bully Fang Jinxiu, but Fang Jinxiu's biological mother did such a thing, and everyone knew it had nothing to do with her, but they couldn't help feeling resentful.

It's not just the Fang family members who have resentment, how could Fang Jinxiu not be the one too?

Even if the Fang family let her go, she couldn't let herself go.

In this case, it would be better to just break up and never see each other again.

"Old Madam Chengyu and the eldest and second young ladies will look after her secretly, so don't worry." Miss Jun continued.

What the young lady said must be right. Liu'er smiled again and put her worry aside.

"Miss, try this." She said, holding out a bag of food in her hand.

As they were talking about this, they heard some noise ahead, so they stopped and looked over. They had already walked into the county government office, and a group of officials were walking out of the office with their entourage, and they were about to mount their horses and leave.

Many officials came to Yangcheng this time, but not all of them need to be executed. Everyone has been out for quite some time, and now that the matter has been settled, they will all leave one after another.

Because the people were all gathered at the execution platform, the county government was very quiet, so the officials did not need soldiers to clear the way for them to travel. Everyone got on their horses easily and casually, chatting and laughing.

Miss Jun also withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward with Liu'er. These officials and their entourage were walking along the street in large but orderly numbers, and the two sides passed each other.

Just after two or three groups of people and horses passed by, Miss Jun suddenly stopped and turned around as if she had thought of something.

Her eyes fell on the people who had just passed by.

Liu'er walked past without paying attention, only to find that Miss Jun stopped and turned back.

"What's wrong, miss?" she asked puzzledly.

Miss Jun did not answer her, but just looked at the group of people walking on the street.

The young lady wanted to see the excitement after all. Beheading is too scary, so she didn't have to watch it. It was rare to see officials from the prefectures, so she had to watch them to see if she saw them.

Liu'er also looked over.

Most of these officials were civil servants in their thirties or forties. Like all civil servants, they had a bookish air and the dignity that came from their experience in officialdom.

They were used to being stared at, so even though they noticed two girls on the side of the road looking at them, they didn't care at all. They walked straight ahead without looking around. Only one follower in green looked at them.

Miss Jun was also looking at him.

This was a man in his thirties or forties, with a fair complexion and a small mustache. He had an ordinary appearance, and carried the simple and honest aura that all followers had.

Seeing that they were two girls about fourteen or fifteen years old, he didn't care too much. He stroked his mustache and looked away.

Miss Jun also looked away, and at the same time, she could no longer hide her surprise.

"Why is he here?" she murmured.

Liuer heard it.

"Who is it? Is it someone you know?" She looked at the people passing by. "Is it a colleague of yours?"

Not Jun Yingwen’s colleague.

Miss Jun looked over. Because that person was not an official at all.

Her eyes fell on the blue-clothed attendant.

He was an attendant, but not an attendant of any of these officials. He was the eunuch Yuan Bao.

Eunuch Yuan Bao was not a famous eunuch, on the contrary he was quite inconspicuous. Even after King Qi ascended the throne, he did not work in the palace.

The reason why Miss Jun remembered him was because when the Prince of Qi was still the Prince of Qi, he brought him with him on the rare occasions when he went to the East Palace to pay homage to the emperor.

At that time, she was being punished by her mother to stand. She simply knelt outside her father's study, and Jiuli could not coax her. Yuan Bao, who was standing outside the door, performed a few tricks to make her laugh. She was very happy to give him a jade pendant, and asked him what his name was and wrote it down.

Later, when Prince Qi ascended the throne and the palace was replaced by new people, she also asked Yuan Bao.

King Qi said that Yuan Bao was in poor health and did not want to leave his homeland, so he stayed in Shandong to guard his residence.

So many years have passed, but because of the deep impression she had when she was a child, she still recognized Yuan Bao at first sight.

Although he had two more mustaches, they were just covered by his hand when he stroked it just now, making him look exactly like Yuan Bao.

Did she recognize the wrong person? Did this person just look like Yuan Bao? Otherwise, this was really strange. How could Shou Qiandi come out and follow someone?

Who could afford to employ the eunuchs who served as the emperor's retainers during his time in hiding?

Could it be that they were placed there to monitor local officials like the Golden Guard?

Or is it related to the Fang family’s incident this time?

Miss Jun's expression changed for a moment.

"Liu'er," she said, collecting her thoughts, "go back and wait for the old lady and the others. Tell them that I think something is not right. I'll go take a look and may be back a little late."

Liu'er looked nervous.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I don't know what it is." Miss Jun said.

"Then I'll go with you, Miss." Liu Er became even more nervous and said, "What if something happens? Miss is alone."

"It's more convenient for me to do it alone." Miss Jun said softly, "And you should tell my family so that they can help me better if something happens."

Although Liu'er was worried, she still nodded obediently.

"Then be careful, miss," she said.

Miss Jun nodded and waved to her. Liu'er turned around reluctantly, looking back as she walked, watching Miss Jun walking quickly along the street.

…

"Miss Fang, Miss Fang."

Chen Qi shouted, looking at Fang Jinxiu who was still walking quickly in front of him.

Fang Jinxiu turned a deaf ear, so Chen Qi had no choice but to quicken his pace, walk around in front of her and reach out to stop her.

"What?" Fang Jinxiu said unhappily, "Why are you following me?"

Chen Qi exhaled.

"Ms. Fang, where are you going, wandering around in this alley?" he asked.

Fang Jinxiu looked forward and saw a main street just outside the alley.

"I'm leaving town," she said. "I'm leaving."

Chen Qi looked outside and recognized that it was the main street out of the city. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sunlight was already slanting.

"Miss Fang, if you want to leave, don't choose this time. You can't go far outside the city before it gets dark." Chen Qi said, "Have you decided where to go? Where can you find a place to stay after dark? Are you going to walk or rent a car?"

Fang Jinxiu had never thought about these things. She left home in the middle of the night and sat on the street corner all night. She had originally decided to leave early in the morning, but she still wanted to watch the bad guy being beheaded and see the memorial service at home, so as to fulfill the intention of being the daughter of the Fang family.

As for where to go after leaving, she had never thought about it.

"Anyway, just leave." She said, pushing Chen Qi away and walking quickly out.

Chen Qi had no choice but to follow.

"I said your daughter looks quite smart, how come she is so confused?" he said, "Since you have decided to leave the Fang family, you are a girl with your own ideas. You have to think about how to live in the future and take it seriously. What is this? Are you being angry?"

As he spoke, he bumped into Fang Jinxiu's back. He was startled and took a step back. However, he did not see the girl turn around to hit him. Instead, she looked out against the wall.

At this time, they had already reached the entrance of the alley, and one step out would be the main street.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qi asked in confusion, and also leaned over to take a look.

There were many more people coming and going on the street than before. It seemed that the execution was over and the people who had come to watch the excitement had dispersed. People who gathered in twos and threes on the street were dancing excitedly, apparently describing the excitement of the beheading.

Is it because he is afraid of being talked about by others about the Fang family?

Chen Qi followed Fang Jinxiu's line of sight and saw two people standing and talking not far from the entrance of the alley, a middle-aged man and a girl.

He couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's not the one from before..." he pointed and said.

Before he could finish his words, Fang Jinxiu helped him.

"Don't talk." She whispered, looking at Miss Jun, and then her eyes fell on the man.

Although he looked much more depressed than when he was in Jinyun Tower, she still recognized at a glance that he was Lin Jiner's father, Lin Zhubu.

Why did she go with him?
