After Xia Meng left, Lianyi entered Xia Qingran's boudoir. Looking at Xia Qingran's pale face, she asked him the reason.
"Cuizhu, something terrible has happened. My father won't let me take you to the Meng Mansion. What should I do?"
"Is this really not possible?"
"Father has always been strong. If he says no, then it's definitely no. I just managed to get you to leave the Xia family early, so that we can fulfill our master-servant relationship."
"Go and ask Aunt Langhuan to come over."
Xia Qingran said in a low voice, holding the handkerchief in her hand.
"Miss, your yard has been guarded by someone, and you can only leave but not enter."
Lianyi's eyes turned and she spoke in a low voice.
"What should we do then?"
Xia Qingran was so anxious that tears fell.
"Miss, don't worry. Listen to me. After dark, we will change clothes and I will go to the Meng family in your place in the evening."
"But my father will see it."
"It's okay. My body shape is similar to that of the young lady. I can just dress up a little. It's dark at night and the master won't stare at me. I can just deceive myself and it will be fine."
Ripple said immediately.
"Is it really possible?"
Xia Qingran held Lianyi's hand tightly and asked.
"Yes, it will work! In the afternoon, you can wear my clothes and take my indenture with you and leave first. Even if the master finds something wrong at night, he won't dare to make it public. But you must hide well. Don't show up until the wedding procession arrives."
Lianyi continued to deceive Xia Qingran.
"I know!"
"Miss, you must not be nervous. You must not let anyone see it."
Lianyi continued to instruct.
"I see!"
"Excuse me Miss, let's start changing clothes now."
"good!"
Lianyi then closed the door of the boudoir, and the two began to exchange clothes, re-comb their hair, and re-put on makeup.
After all this busy work, it was already afternoon. Under Lianyi's skillful hands, Xia Qingran had become Cuizhu, and she herself had also become Xia Qingran.
Xia Qingran carried all his belongings on his back, took the indenture given by Lianyi, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door.
"Cuizhu, you and I were once master and servant. Now I am setting you free. Go out and find a good man to marry and live a good life."
"Yes, Miss, please accept my humble servant's greetings."
Xia Qingran pretended to bow, then left his yard with his head held high. He met Mrs. Xia head-on, who was so scared that she immediately lowered her head.
Madam Xia was worried about her concubine's daughter, so she came here. She wanted to reconnect with her and explain some things to her. At least after the marriage was successful, their Xia family could borrow power from the concubine's daughter. Otherwise, it would be a waste to sacrifice the concubine's daughter.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw the concubine's personal maid. She frowned and asked:
"Cuizhu, why are you not serving the young lady now? What are you doing with the package?"
Xia Qingran knew that whether he could leave or not depended on this one time, so he knelt on the ground the moment he lowered his head, and then said in a hoarse and trembling voice:
"To reply to Madam, I don't know what I did wrong to make Young Miss angry. Young Miss returned my indenture and asked me to leave the Xia family. Woo woo!"
After hearing this, Madam Xia frowned and said to Xia Qingran who was kneeling on the ground:
"Get up first. I'll go ask Xiao Ran what's going on. Go wash your face. Why are you crying like that?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Xia Qingran knocked his head to the ground, not daring to lift it up. He bit his lip and responded with a trembling voice.
Mrs. Xia then entered Xia Qingran's yard with her maid and a nanny.
Xia Qingran waited until Madam Xia had walked past her before she stood up reluctantly, then quickly turned around and walked towards the front door. She didn't dare to delay. If Cuizhu was exposed, she would definitely come to arrest her. She had finally found a chance to leave, and she must not give up.
Xia Qingran left in a hurry, while Mrs. Xia on the other side had already seen Lianyi standing at the door.
Lianyi heard the voices of Madam Xia and Xia Qingran talking, and was afraid that something might go wrong if the other party didn't handle it well, but fortunately Xia Qingran was smart enough and nothing went wrong, so she took the initiative to step forward.
"Mother, how come you have time to come to my yard?"
At this time, Lianyi was leaning against Xia Qingran's face, bowed to Madam Xia, and asked softly.
Although Cuizhu and Xia Qingran have similar figures, they look different. It's just that Lianyi used makeup to cover it up, and Madam Xia, the mistress of the house, doesn't care much about her concubine's daughter, so at a quick glance, no difference is noticed.
In addition, Cuizhu has been serving Xia Qingran since she was a child, and she knows her young lady's way of speaking and little habits very well, so it is not easy for her to make mistakes when imitating her.
"It's nothing serious. I just came to talk to you and give you a few more instructions."
Madam Xia sat down at the small round table, then waved her hand to have her personal maid and nanny go out and guard the door. Then she said to Lianyi:
"Qingran, the master has done his best to give you a good future. I originally wanted to fight for Qingjue, but outsiders have seen her. If this thing succeeds, you will be a hero of the Xia family and the Meng family."
Mrs. Xia first gave him a compliment.
Lian Yi thought about Xia Qingran's usual style, raised her head slightly, and replied with some pride:
"Mother, please don't praise me. As the daughter of the Xia family, I naturally have to share my father's worries."
Madam Xia was not angry after hearing this. After all, life and death depended on the girl's own ability, so she continued to deceive her:
"Qingran, although there are many reasons for doing this, you must always remember that you are the daughter of the Xia family, and the Xia family is your real support."
Lianyi is not the real Xia Qingran. Maybe the real Xia Qingran and Cuizhu will be brainwashed by Madam Xia, but she will not. However, she still smiled and said:
"Mother, I know what to do, and I will not let you down."
"That's good. I know you are a sensible person. You will definitely think about me and your father, and of course your aunt. Don't worry, I will take good care of Aunt Lang."
Madam Xia hinted to the concubine's daughter again that her biological mother was still making a living under her.
"Thank you, mother."
Lianyi thanked him immediately.
"When I came here just now, I saw Cuizhu taking the package and leaving. She said you let her go. What happened?"
"My father came over at noon and said that I could go alone and could not bring the maid with me."
Lianyi frowned and pretended to be unhappy.
"Your father has considered everything. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Cuizhu is your personal maid, so you shouldn't let her go."
Madam Xia frowned.
"Mother, Cuizhu grew up with me after all. I don't know if I can come back now. Letting her go will fulfill our relationship as master and servant.
But don't worry, she doesn't know anything, she just thought I was angry and drove her away."
Ripple explained.
Mrs. Xia did not go against Lianyi this time. After all, she was about to move into the Meng Mansion and could not allow any trouble to happen.
"Never mind, just be happy."
