【Overhaul, 2024.09.03 Leave a claw】
Lu Yanzhou looked at Sheng Qiyue at this moment, his throat rolled up and down twice, and then covered her with a thin blanket.
"You're pregnant, so I won't make things difficult for you. Don't even think about running away, and don't even think about killing me. If there's a next time, I won't be so good-tempered."
The subordinate was still imagining what would happen next, but when he saw Lu Yanzhou come out quickly, he was stunned at first, and then felt sympathy.
Lu Yanzhou seemed to know what he was thinking, and his ears turned red: "Don't let your imagination run wild, hurry up and get in the car."
"yes!"
Sheng Qiyue wanted to find her clothes, but the things she brought out were gone. When Lu Yanzhou came in, she was wrapped in a blanket, bending over to look for something inside. When she saw Lu Yanzhou, she wrapped herself tightly in fright.
“You, you…”
Lu Yanzhou suppressed his turbulent emotions and sat down beside Sheng Qiyue without changing his expression. He held her in his arms as usual, his breath hot and filled with a strong and aggressive aura.
After a long while, Lu Yanzhou covered her with a blanket again and asked her, "If I can give you a stable life, will you be willing to follow me?"
Sheng Qiyue was silent. Lu Yanzhou was a fugitive, so how could he give her a stable life? It was good enough if she didn't have to live in the open air.
Lu Yanzhou sighed, held her in his arms, and took out an exquisite ebony comb to comb her hair.
His movements were not very skillful, but they were gentle and delicate. Finally, he took out a white jade hairpin with plum blossoms and inserted it into her head. Although it was crooked, Lu Yanzhou was extremely satisfied.
"I bought this hairpin after I first met you. Now it's finally on your head. I've finally gotten what I wanted."
Sheng Qiyue was not happy at all and was still planning how to escape next time. If she didn't run now, she would be even less able to run when she got heavier.
The two men walked like this for three days. On the fourth day, the carriage encountered patrol officers and soldiers.
"The imperial court has decreed that anyone entering or leaving the city must verify their identity. Those with a pass must present it, and those without a pass must return to obtain their household registration card. Otherwise, no one will be allowed in or out."
Lu Yanzhou took out the map calmly and pointed to a small path nearby: "We will go through here, bypass two cities, and then make plans."
The small road was not as easy to walk on as the official road. It became more and more remote, deserted, and very bumpy. Sheng Qiuyue felt like he was suffering every day.
After walking for another five days, when Lu Yanzhou handed over the pancake again, Sheng Qiyue couldn't help but explode and threw it to the ground in disgust.
"Buns, buns, buns, buns, buns, all day long!" Sheng Qiyue cried out in despair, "Lu Yanzhou, please let me go. You're the one who committed the crime. Why should I live with you through such a hard life?"
She cried, her body trembling with tears.
I saved so much gold because I thought that if I encountered difficulties one day, this money would give me a way out, so that I could eat and drink well and continue to live a stable and worry-free life.
But who would have thought that he would now be staying with the fugitive, and every day he would either be jolted in a carriage or listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the wilderness. What kind of thing is this!
Lu Yanzhou's face darkened, and he wondered if he had been too easy to talk to recently.
He discovered that as long as he became tough, Sheng Qiyue would be like a turtle, not daring to resist no matter what he did. But once he treated her nicely, she would become bolder. For example, now, was she sure that he would pity her?
Lu Yanzhou was surrounded by a low pressure. Sheng Qiyue stopped crying and hesitated. She looked at him cautiously with her sparkling eyes.
Lu Yanzhou stared at her intently until she shrank back in fear, then he withdrew his gaze and walked away without saying a word.
When he came back, he brought back a sika deer.

Shen Shaoyan took Sheng Qiyue's portrait and asked around in the city. He asked many people and everyone said they had never seen her. Just when he was at a loss, he met Li Si.
He said, "Mrs. Sheng left the city in Old Man Bu's carriage."
Shen Shaoyan said "thank you" and prepared to fly towards the city gate.
"etc!"
Shen Shaoyan turned around, and Li Si mustered up the courage to say, "I can bring people with you to look for it. Can you let me follow you?"
Shen Shaoyan: "If you can find Qiyue, I will let you be my bodyguard."
"It's a deal. I'll try my best."
Shen Shaoyan just nodded slightly, and disappeared after a few jumps. He didn't know Old Man Bu, but the people guarding the city knew Old Man Bu.
Shen Shaoyan was waiting at the city gate and finally saw Old Man Bu humming a song on his way back.
"You are talking about that girl. She went to Liangzhou to find her fiancé. She is such a loving and righteous girl." Old Man Bu sighed.
Liangzhou? Fiancé?
Shen Shaoyan frowned: "Where did she ask you to send her?"
"She wants to hire someone from the largest escort agency in Tuyun Mansion to escort her westward."
"Thank you very much."
Shen Shaoyan rode his horse as fast as he could to the escort agency, but the agency said they didn't see the beautiful woman coming. Instead, a murder occurred on a nearby street, and a man and a woman died.
Shen Shaoyan's heart was about to jump out of his chest when he heard this. He first went to the government office and then to the charity cemetery. Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm in the end.
Seeing that the government was still investigating the identities of the two, Shen Shaoyan kindly told him:
"I've met these two people. One is Lou Xinlan, the cousin of He Zhifu, and the other is Lou Xinlan's biological father, Lou Yuxiao. They are both from Dongti Mansion. As for why they came to Tuyun Mansion and were murdered, you need to investigate thoroughly."
The government could not find any clues, nor did they find Sheng Qiyue.
Shen Shaoyan decided to go to Liangzhou in person. He found a route that Sheng Qiyue was most likely to take, and asked around as he went. Several months passed, and he didn't get any news, and he became more and more anxious.
……………………
Sheng Qiuyue is four months pregnant and her belly is slightly bulging.
After a long journey, Shen Shaoyan took him to settle in the southwest border, which was a different direction from Liangzhou where she originally wanted to go.
Liangzhou is in the northwest, and Shen Shaoyan can't wait for her.
Lu Yanzhou pushed open the wooden door and placed the stewed pheasant on the table.
After several months of getting along, Sheng Qiyue was no longer afraid of him and naturally picked up the chopsticks to eat.
Lu Yanzhou watched her eat, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"If one day I become disfigured and become neither human nor ghost, will you still stay by my side?"
Sheng Qiyue shook her head without hesitation: "No."
Lu Yanzhou's eyes dimmed for a moment, "Then how about I take you to live in a neighboring country?"
Sheng Qiyue still shook her head.
Lu Yanzhou said, "What if I really want you to choose one?"
