Chapter 28: Drive Away
Su Wanyan looked at the 1,000 taels of silver in the little girl's hand and couldn't help but narrow her eyes. "When He Bo gave it to you, was there anyone else around?"
"No, it's just Madam Rong and I here." Shaoyao shook her head. "Miss, Madam Rong and I don't want to leave you. Please don't let the steward chase us away."
Su Wanyan glanced back at Ji Xiaohan, who was lying indifferent on the bed. The doubt in her eyes gradually turned into inquiry. After a while, she smiled and pushed the banknote back from the little girl's hand. "Peony, do you believe your young lady?"
Shaoyao replied without hesitation, "Nanny and I are naturally Miss Xin's."
Su Wanyan nodded. "Okay, then wait for me to enter the palace, then immediately take your valuables and leave the palace. If anyone asks, just say that I, the young lady, sympathize with you and restore your freedom..."
"No! Miss, we won't leave... Woo woo..." Shaoyao became anxious when she heard this. She took the opportunity to help the young lady wash up to beg for mercy. Why did the young lady want to drive them away?
Su Wanyan pinched Shaoyao's cheek and asked, "You just said you believed me?"
"Miss, how can Madam Rong and I leave you alone?" Shaoyao saw yesterday what happened to those servants who cried and begged not to be kicked out of the palace. They were all thrown out by the palace guards. If she and Madam Rong were thrown out like that, their bones would probably be broken, right?
Su Wanyan smiled and coaxed, "Silly girl, how could I abandon you? Originally, even if He Bo didn't chase people away, I would still chase you away. Be good, after you go out, do this..."
Su Wanyan whispered these instructions in Shaoyao's ear for a long time. Shaoyao was shocked at first, but the more she listened, the paler her face became. When she heard the young lady speculate that Prince Xiao's mansion might be confiscated and exiled soon, Shaoyao was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she didn't even dare to cry out loud. She grabbed Su Wanyan's hand and begged her in a low voice, "Young lady, you...you run with us! Mammy and I will protect you at all costs!"
What a cute little girl!
When encountering danger, the first thing they thought about was how to protect Su Wanyan, which made the relationship between the three of them as master and servant worthwhile.
"No, don't worry, Miss, I'll be fine." Su Wanyan couldn't leave. She was Princess Xiao, who had been on the Imperial Jade Butterfly. If she ran away, no one could escape her. Besides, in her previous life, without any preparation, Ji Xiaohan was able to protect the original owner and exile with him. In this life, she was prepared. How could she not live well?
"But..." Shaoyao wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Alright, help me wash and dress quickly. I have to go to the palace soon! Don't miss the time."
Shaoyao sobbed as she swiftly helped Su Wanyan wash up. After she finished dressing her up, she still seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Miss, Shaoyao can't bear to leave you..."
Su Wanyan took out a few pearl hairpins from the dressing table. "We don't have much time. After you and Madam Rong go out, buy everything as I just told you. Then, when the news comes out, go to Shili Pavilion and wait for us. Do you understand?"
Shaoyao's tears fell, but she still obediently accepted the gift from the young lady, "Okay, Shaoyao will listen to you. Young lady, you have to be careful too. If we can't wait for you, Rong Mama and I will not live!"
