"Military Advisor Yuan."
Mo Niang chewed these three words carefully in her mouth. These words seemed to carry a heat that made her eyes red and warmed her already cold heart.
"Mo Lang...Mo Lang..."
Seeing that Mo Niang had regained hope, Su Man continued, "Although I've only known Military Advisor Yuan for a short time, I can tell that he's not a pedantic person. He's made so much effort, don't you want to give him a chance?"
"But do I still have a chance?"
Mo Niang was very confused. "The Fang Mansion is so big, how can I get out?"
"Do you believe me?" Su Man asked.
"letter."
Mo Niang said without hesitation, "Although we just met, I can see that you are a person of good nature. I admire you very much."
Su Man smiled. "What a coincidence! I also felt a sense of familiarity when I met you, Mo Niang. Since you are willing to believe me, I will tell you the truth. I actually have some connection with the Black Wind Village."
After Su Man finished speaking, she kept observing Mo Niang's reaction. Her expression didn't show much surprise. "I see. No wonder the young lady knows everything about Mo Lang's recent situation."
"Yes, I didn't tell you just now because I was afraid you'd be scared. Now that we've opened up, I won't hide it from you. I still need to go back to Black Wind Village, and someone has already come to Qingyun City to pick me up. Just now you said your maid could leave the house. If you're willing, I can write a letter to tell them the news and take you away with me."
Bang, bang, bang...
At that moment, Mo Niang seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat, rapid and heavy, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She opened her mouth several times before finding her voice, "Really? The Fang Mansion is heavily guarded. Can we really escape?"
Su Man suddenly smiled. "I can't guarantee it, but even if there's a one percent chance, I think you'd want to give it a try, right, Mo Niang?"
Mo Niang smiled her first genuine smile. "Yes, let alone one percent, even if it's one in ten thousand, I will give it a try."
...
After convincing Mo Niang, Su Man struck while the iron was hot and wrote a letter.
The above mentioned not only Mo Niang but also Huangkou County. She always felt that the close relationship between Prefect Fang and the Huangkou County Magistrate was a little unusual, so she asked Ao Xi to focus his inspection on Huangkou County.
Su Man didn't tell Mo Niang about the letter when she wrote it. Mo Niang took a quick look and saw the word Huangkou County repeatedly appearing on the letter. She was also a little curious, "Miss, have you also been to Huangkou County?"
"No, there are just some things I need to clarify."
Su Man had just finished writing the last stroke, and after letting it dry, she put it in an envelope. "By the way, have you heard of Pingchuan County?"
"I have heard of it, what's wrong?"
"Then do you know in which direction Huangkou County is located relative to Pingchuan County?"
"this..."
Mo Niang thought for a moment, gestured a few times, and said, "Huangkou County should be north of Pingchuan County."
As expected, Su Man understood. Fang Junyi had previously heard that Mr. Zhou would go to visit his relatives every autumn, and the place he went to was in the north of Pingchuan County.
From this point of view, it is very likely that he went to Huangkou County.
Things were making progress, and Su Man felt a little relieved.
Ao Xi and his men are bandits after all, so it's not easy for them to show up in public often. It will be easy once the approximate range is determined.
After being delayed for so long, Mo Niang couldn't stay any longer. She carefully hid the letter in her inner lapel and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the letter."
"Okay, be careful and take care of yourself."
"I will."
Mo Niang's eyes were more hopeful and lively than when she first arrived. Her steps as she left were much lighter.
After seeing Mo Niang off, Su Man lay back down on the bed.
As long as Ao Xi can find Mr. Zhou’s “secret base”, she won’t have to stay in the Fang family anymore.
Ah, I miss Mimi so much, I want to pet the cat so much.
-
Because of Mrs. Fang's orders, Su Man's food, clothing, housing and transportation fell into a state of decline.
Not only were there no meat or vegetables, but even the brocade quilt on the bed was taken away and replaced with an ordinary quilt.
However, these are not unacceptable for Su Man, who often suffers hardships. What's more, there are people to serve her, so it is not too hard.
Well, how can that not be considered as being able to endure hardship?
That night, Su Man lay in bed but did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, she kept her eyes open waiting for Fang Junyi.
They had agreed before that Fang Junyi would come here to meet her every two days, but today Su Man waited for a long time and Fang Junyi didn't show up.
Su Man didn't care at first. After all, Fang Junyi was no longer of any use to her, so it wouldn't be a big problem even if he didn't come.
However, the next day when she went for a walk in the South Garden, she unexpectedly heard a piece of news that made her hair stand on end.
It was also a coincidence that there were usually few people in the South Garden, but on this day, seven or eight maids came here to build the garden.
Although the maids in the outer courtyard also have to follow a lot of rules, they are much more casual than those serving their masters in the inner courtyard. Just like now, they are gossiping about their masters while working.
Since there was usually no one in the South Garden, the voices were louder.
"It's horrible. I've never seen an adult get so angry."
"Yes, I heard Ah Zhu say that she was delivering water and when she came back she was so scared that her clothes were soaked, especially her back, which was covered in sweat. She was afraid that someone would take her anger out on her."
"Yes, Ah Zhu also told me that. She said that the board was broken at that time, and the adults took action themselves. It scared the man to death."
"Tsk tsk, what on earth did this second young master do?"
"Who knows? Anyway, the Second Young Master was outside the study when he was beaten. Logically, the master had said before that no one was allowed to enter his study. This Second Young Master must have been blinded by greed. How could he dare to enter the master's study?"
