Chapter 375: The eldest sister-in-law supports the family (1)
"Miss, this is the money prepared for you. Take it with you and be careful on your way." Yue'er was afraid that the people in the mansion would catch up with her young lady, so she put the money in her young lady's hand and hurried back immediately.
"Yue'er, Yue'er, there's no need to be so anxious." Shi Yi pulled her back.
"Miss, you can't delay. If the people in the mansion catch up with you, you won't be able to escape." Yue'er was so anxious that her eyes turned red, as if she had clearly witnessed such a situation.
"I won't leave." Shi Yi put the money in her hand and sat down behind her. Yue'er was so scared that her eyes almost popped out.
"Miss, you have done so much and put in so much effort to escape the marriage. How can you give up at the last minute? Are all the hardships you have endured in vain?" Shi Ding
looked at the loyal little maid steadily, with some unspeakable emotions in her body, and said: "My previous plan was not thorough enough. If I escape the marriage alone, what will you do when you return to the mansion?"
"I'm just a little maid, and I should be responsible for my master. Miss, don't worry about me." Having said that, Yue'er's eyes were red.
The Gu family has a strict family style. If the young lady really escaped the marriage, she, as the young lady's maid, would definitely not be able to escape death. In the past, the young lady didn't want to marry into the Wei family and made all kinds of plans, but she didn't think of this for herself. However, she didn't blame her. After all, the young lady didn't grow up in this mansion. She, Yue'er, was just a slave who was ordered around. However, when she thought that the young lady didn't leave for this reason, her heart was like a turmoil.
"You have been with me since I entered the mansion. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are as close as sisters. I didn't plan well for you before." Shi Yi lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in his eyes. This is also the regret that the original owner wants to make up for the most. After the original owner escaped from marriage, Yue'er was beaten to death by the mistress on a random pretext.
"Miss. I know you are good to me." Yue'er choked in her throat, "But now is not the time for us to act on impulse. Yue'er was alone when she entered the mansion, and you have been good to me enough."
The Wei family is no longer the prosperous marquisate in the past. The marquis of the Wei family, Wei Yang, has been detained in prison for being involved in the incident of treason, and all the family property of the Wei family has been confiscated. The emperor kept the marquisate for the sake of the kindness of the Wei family's ancestors. As for the two young masters of the Wei family, the legitimate son Wei Yang has been a sickly child since birth, and Zhou Suanzi had predicted that he would not live to be eighteen; the illegitimate son Wei Yin was born to a lowly singing girl, and he is only nine years old this year. She had met the young lady from a distance, and he was timid and did not even have the bearing of a young master from an ordinary family. If the young lady marries now, she will not only be a widow, but also be implicated and imprisoned. This is also the reason why the young lady tried every means to escape the marriage.
"I won't leave. My marriage with Wei Yang was decided since birth. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. There is no escape." Shi Yi knew that Yue'er believed in "fate", so he deliberately persuaded her in this way. Otherwise, how could he dispel her doubts?
"Miss, have you really thought it through?" Yue'er thought about the Wei family in her heart, and was instinctively worried for her. An even more embarrassing reason was that she was afraid that the young lady did not leave because of her. She actually noticed the flash of sadness in the young lady's eyes just now.
"I can't take you with me when I run away. The journey to Fengyang to seek refuge with my grandmother is long. If something happens, I, a girl, will not be able to cope. What's more, there is no place for me in the Gu family. I can be a mistress in the Wei family! You can also follow me as a dowry. We can be close and intimate, and it's not good to be together every day?!" When Shi Yi said this, Yue'er burst into laughter.
"Miss, why are you so good to me." The next second, she burst into tears.
"Don't you call me 'you'?" Shi Yi teased her.
"Miss, there was a difference between master and servant before." Yue'er felt that she seemed to have said something wrong. Just when she was about to correct it, Shi Yi said it for her.
"Then we are sharing weal and woe now."
"Yes." She showed her teeth and smiled sweetly, which dazzled Shi Yi's eyes.
What a beautiful girl. If she really lost her life because of her escape from marriage, her conscience would be so uneasy. Moreover, she really couldn't leave now. Although the situation of the Wei family was so complicated that it made people retreat, the original owner's memory clearly told Wei Yin what kind of great achievements the timid and mediocre son of the Marquis's mansion would make in the future, how he would earn such wealth and how he would bring new glory to the Wei Marquis's mansion.
In fact, if it weren't for the future wealth and glory of the Wei Marquis's mansion, Shi Yi couldn't escape. Because the original owner wanted to make up for the legitimate son of the Wei Marquis's mansion named Wei Yang. He became the laughing stock of the whole Tokyo because of the runaway marriage of the Gu family's daughter, and lost his life in frustration and drinking.
"H... Oh..." The butler of the Gu family drove the carriage and noticed the two familiar figures in front, so he slowed down.
"Let's go. Let's go back." Shi Yi grabbed Yue'er's hand and walked towards him step by step.
At this time, Yue'er didn't know that she was about to witness what kind of legendary myth the girl next to her, her lady, left in the whole Tokyo. And she was also a part of it.
"Miss, please." The butler got off the car with a cold face and greeted Shi Yi.
He didn't have any opinion on the young lady's escape from marriage, but he was born with such a cold face. After all, everyone in Tokyo knew that the Weihou Mansion was going to fail, and those who didn't escape from marriage were fools. It was just a pity that the young lady was such a girl. Her mother died early, and no one made plans for her. Her master, as an imperial censor, was most concerned about his reputation and didn't want to "add insult to injury" and cancel the engagement at this time.
"Thank you, uncle." Shi Yi nodded slightly and got into the carriage. Yue'er followed her in.
The housekeeper was stunned when he heard her "thank you".
The young lady has always been a quiet person, and it is rare to see her speak. Today, he let her speak for the first time.
The carriage drove quietly on the road. Sitting in the carriage, Shi Yi held Yue'er's hand and closed his eyes to rest.
From the fact that the Gu family only sent the housekeeper out to look for her, she could guess how much the imperial censor Gu disliked his daughter and how much he valued her reputation. In the entire Gu family, the only servant that Gu Yushi could look up to was the housekeeper. At the same time, the housekeeper was the only one who was loyal to Gu Yushi. The other maids and servants in the Gu family were all oppressed by the mistress Yang Yonghua. Even Yue'er's indenture seemed to be still in her possession.
Yue'er was such a good girl, she couldn't let her be a maid for life.
