She used the excuse that she was shy and embarrassed to take off her clothes in front of everyone, and drove the nanny and a maid out of the house.
While the maid went to get new clothes, Hua He took out the aphrodisiac powder she had prepared and sprinkled it on the maid when she turned her head while she was not paying attention. The maid opened her eyes wide, but the effect of the aphrodisiac powder was too strong and she fell down before she could say anything.
Hua He took out a set of black clothes from the closet and put them on, then quickly tied up her loose hair. The nanny outside the room asked loudly, "How are you getting dressed? Do you know how to put on the clothes? If not, I'll go in and give you some guidance."
Hua He replied loudly: "It's okay, we will put it on soon, just wait a moment."
After dealing with the nanny outside the house, she picked up the bag she had prepared long ago, which contained two sets of clothes and all the money she had saved over the years. After all, she would have to rely on herself after running away from her marriage.
He opened the back window of the house, jumped out, picked up the ladder that had been placed in the corner of the wall, and started climbing up the net.
At this time, Hua He's mother came over from outside the house. Because she felt her heart beating very fast and felt that something was going to happen, she hurried to the backyard to see her daughter.
The nanny said that the young lady was shy and only left a maid to change clothes. My mother pushed open the door and walked in, and saw the maid lying on the ground and the open window.
When she came to the window, she saw Hua He climbing the ladder. Hua He turned her head when she heard the noise and met her mother's eyes.
"Daughter, are you running away from your marriage?"
"I'm sorry, mother. I really don't want to get married. Please let me go."
Looking at her only biological daughter, she shed tears. She knew that her daughter would be unhappy if she married into the family, just like herself now, unable to do anything when her husband took a concubine. In order to survive and protect her children, she had to compromise and please a husband she did not love at all. She did not want her daughter to marry into the family, but she did not have the ability to fight against her father.
Now her daughter was going to run away for her own happiness. Although she was reluctant to let her go, she was mostly happy. She took off her jade pendant and handed it to Hua He, "It's your mother who is unable to make you happy. Go quickly. After the storm has died down, remember to come home and see your mother. Take this jade pendant. You can pawn it when you run out of money. Don't let yourself suffer when you go out on your own in the future."
Tears instantly flowed from Hua He's eyes. She took the jade pendant and immediately climbed up the wall. Jiang Tuantuan saw Hua He coming, lowered the ladder prepared on the carriage and leaned it against the wall, picked Hua He up, and after she got down to the ground, she immediately sat in the carriage. Jiang Li drove the carriage immediately out of the city.
Hua He knew very well that the person she felt most sorry for in her life was her mother. Her family would be turned upside down after she left. She had left the home that had raised her for seventeen years. She had been so looking forward to finally being free, but now her tears could not stop flowing.
Confusion about the road ahead, reluctance to leave home, concern for mother, and expectation of finally being free, all kinds of emotions are intertwined in my heart.
Jiang Tuantuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only silently hug her shoulders and say, "Just cry your heart out. You'll feel better after you're done."
When the mother heard no more noise outside, she knew her daughter must have escaped. She opened the door and shouted, "The young lady is missing."
Immediately the front and back yards were in chaos. The people who came to pick up the bride were about to arrive, but now they were missing. How could they explain it?
County Magistrate Zhao was unable to get up, so he immediately ordered all the servants to patrol and sent out the guards from the county government to search for the maid. He also called a doctor to treat the maid who had fainted. However, the amount of drugs Hua He had sprayed was too large, and the maid would definitely not wake up unless she slept for a whole afternoon.
Everyone searched the front and back yards thoroughly but couldn't find anyone. County Magistrate Zhao immediately realized that Hua He might have left the city, so he immediately sent people to intercept her at the city gate. Any suspicious person was detained immediately, and every carriage and every person was carefully checked.
He also angrily scolded the nanny and the maid, blaming them for not taking good care of the young lady.
However, at this time, the people coming from Pingding County, Jizhou, to pick up the bride had already arrived. The county magistrate's second son, Wang Ze, was sitting in the carriage, waiting for the bride's arrival boredly.
County Magistrate Zhao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He had originally thought of establishing a good relationship with the county magistrate above him through marriage, but now he was going to make a big enemy.
Seeing that no one came out, Wang Ze sent his servant to ask, and only then did he learn that the bride was missing. In anger, he went straight to the front yard to question County Magistrate Zhao.
"Are you kidding my Wang family?"
Magistrate Zhao looked apologetic and explained anxiously, "The person is definitely not lost. We are looking for him. Please wait a moment."
Wang Ze didn't want to marry Hua He. They met once a few years ago, and he felt that Hua He was not his type. He preferred plump and charming women. But he had to agree under his father's order. The news of the marriage had spread long ago, and if he couldn't pick up the bride today, he would lose face.
He had no choice but to sit down and wait. After an hour, he still didn't find it. Wang Ze was so angry that he just threw his sleeves and left. It was embarrassing, but it was his Zhao family that was more embarrassing. Let's see how County Magistrate Zhao would explain it to my father in the future.
County Magistrate Zhao wanted to ask Wang Ze to stay and wait a little longer, but Wang Ze simply ignored him.
The marriage of the county magistrate's daughter was a big event, and the people all came to watch. As a result, they saw this scene. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news spread immediately throughout Fujiang County, and everyone was waiting to see the county magistrate's family make a fool of themselves.
Jiang Tuantuan and the other two have arrived at the residence that Hua He had prepared in advance. It is in a mountain. There is only one house in the mountain, and it is a bit dilapidated. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t notice this house at all. It can be said that it was chosen very secretly.
"Thank you for helping me escape from marriage. From now on, you will be my best friend. No matter what happens to you in the future, I will risk my life to help you."
"It's okay. If you're unhappy, I'll be sad too. But living here isn't a long-term solution. Have you thought about your next step?"
Hua He put down her bag, looked at Jiang Tuan Tuan with a firm gaze and said, "I'll stay here for a week, then I plan to go to the capital."
"I'll come to see you before I leave. You won't be familiar with the capital. If you need anything, you can go to my husband, Li Jingchen. He will help you."
Hua He: "Okay."
After sending Hua He off, Jiang Tuantuan and Jiang Li drove the carriage back to the city.
County Magistrate Zhao was furious, and he, as a county magistrate, became the laughing stock of the entire county. He could not accept this at all. It was too embarrassing.
I didn’t know where my daughter had gone, and I was so worried that my hair was falling out.
