Chapter 754: Emotion (3)
Shen Miao asked him, "Do you know Qinggong?"
Congyang nodded hurriedly.
"That's all," Shen Miao said. "Catch me and take me to Prince Rui's mansion." Her thoughts were simple, just like what Xie Jingxing had done to him before. Congyang was Xie Jingxing's man, after all. To some extent, he was much easier to use than Mo Qing and the others. Most importantly, she didn't want Xie Jingxing's identity to be known to more people. It was more dangerous for someone to know, even if it was someone she trusted, because who knows, they might be used against them one day.
As soon as she said this, Cong Yang shook his head repeatedly, his eyes even showing a bit of fear, and said, "No!"
“What’s wrong again!” Shen Miao’s patience was almost exhausted.
Cong Yang said: "Men and women should not be bound by rules."
Shen Miao: “…”
She didn't know where Xie Jingxing found these guards, they were even more disciplined than women, but no matter what Shen Miao said, Congyang just refused to "take" her to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Shen Miao was also in a dilemma. If she didn't allow Cong Yang to use Qing Gong, she would have to walk out of the Shen family's gate. The Shen family's gate was guarded by Shen Xin's soldiers, and it was impossible not to alert them. If she went out in the middle of the night, she was afraid that before she even left the door, everyone in the family would be awakened in groups of three or two. If she was asked to explain then, she wouldn't be able to say a word.
Shen Miao had a terrible headache.
She looked at the wall outside the courtyard, and suddenly an idea struck her. When Xie Jingxing first moved to Yanqing Lane, he had plenty of money to spend, so he simply bought all the houses between the Rui Palace and the Chen Residence, and even called them neighbors. So, it could be said that the Rui Palace was right next to the Chen Residence. It was just that Xie Jingxing's house was a little far away.
Since it is a neighbor's house... Shen Miao's eyes fell on the high wall in the yard. She said, "Climb over the wall."
Cong Yang stared at her blankly, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He was ordered to protect Shen Miao's safety, and he watched her every move in the Shen residence. Naturally, he knew what kind of person Shen Miao was. Shen Miao was dignified and steady, extremely well-behaved, and could endure loneliness at such a young age. She looked like a noble person from afar. In short, even the smallest of her daily actions showed her good upbringing. Cong Yang often sighed in his heart that this young lady was different from others, born with great nobility. Who would have thought that at this moment, he would hear that this noble young lady was going to climb over the wall. Cong Yang thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Shen Miao glared at him and said in a dignified manner, “Can’t you hear me?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Cong Yang stood up straight with a start, not daring to look at Shen Miao’s expression.
The following days were enough to make Cong Yang feel miserable. He had previously thought that Shen Miao was going to climb over the wall by herself, but what Shen Miao meant by climbing over the wall was to pile up stepping materials on both sides of the wall, forming a staircase, and then Shen Miao would walk from one side of the wall to the other.
Congyang spent the night stealing straw stacks that wealthy families used for fertilizer. The problem was, there were more than a dozen mansions between Prince Rui's residence and the Chen residence. Each one was separated by a wall, and Congyang worked up a sweat even in the cold weather. Watching Chen Miao walk past one wall after another with an air of arrogance, as if they were not walls but the high steps of a nine-story palace, he sighed and lamented his fate.
If Congyang hadn't been afraid of defiling the young lady's body and angering his master, why would he have put in so much effort? He had decent Qinggong skills, easily able to carry a single person, so why would he have been running around all this time? When his master had transferred him from the Mo Yu Army, his colleagues had envied him for his good fortune, little knowing that this lucrative position meant hard labor, worse than a servant. Congyang wept silently.
