Although Meng Xun and Zhao Wan were uncle and sister-in-law, Meng Xun was such a rogue that he could openly take advantage of Zhao Wan in the Meng Mansion.

The two of them got along quite harmoniously. In their daily lives, apart from bickering, they would do some shameful things in secret.

As for Meng Zhao, who escaped from Fu County that day, where was he now?

On the day Meng Zhao escaped from his marriage, he knocked out the gatekeeper and rode a fast horse to Qingying's residence in the western suburbs.

He called several times outside the door but no one answered. After pushing the door open, he found that the house was empty and no one was there.

In addition, except for the large furniture such as beds, tables, and chairs that were difficult to move, the rest of the clothes and easy-to-carry items were taken away.

How could Meng Zhao not understand after seeing this?

Aoying was moving with her family, and had long planned to leave on the day of his wedding.

Meng Zhao thought that Aoying had not run far, and perhaps had just left the city not long ago, and immediately chased after her.

At a fork in the road two hundred meters away from Aoying's house, Meng Zhao was in a dilemma, because there were two forks in the road.

To the left was north, passing through the north gate and heading northwest.

To the right was south, passing through the south gate and heading southeast.

Meng Zhao couldn't guess which direction Aoying was going, and there happened to be a family ten meters behind the fork in the road.

Meng Zhao went up to ask a middle-aged woman who was cleaning under the tree, "Auntie, do you know where Qingying's family moved to?"

The old lady stopped cleaning and looked at the handsome Meng Zhao. She pointed to the fork in the road on the left and said,

"Are you talking about Miss Qing's family? This morning I saw them riding in a carriage, and the whole family went north. They said they were going to the north to live with relatives. I was wondering why the old neighbors who had lived here for more than ten years suddenly wanted to move away. Miss Qing said she liked snow and was tired of living here. She wanted to go to the north to see the snow-capped mountains. She also said that if she had time in the future, she would take me back and take me to see it together." After

the old lady finished speaking, she also She sighed, "Young man, our Anyang City is neither south nor north. There is no snow in winter and it is very cold. It is not as warm as the south. It is not a good place to live, right?"

Meng Zhao was worried and replied perfunctorily, "You are right, Auntie. Thank you very much. I will take my leave first."

Meng Zhao bowed and saluted, then immediately mounted his horse and galloped to the left fork in the road.

Looking at Meng Zhao's back as he walked away, the old lady shook her head and sighed, "Young man, I'm sorry. Miss Qing specifically told me to say this. Alas, it's a pity for such a handsome young man. Why did Miss Qing hide from him?"

The old lady deceived Meng Zhao. Qingying actually went to the right fork in the road. She did not go north, but south.

When Meng Zhao heard the old lady say that Qingying wanted to go to the north to see the snow-capped mountains, he had no doubts in his heart, because when Qingying was treating her leg disease before, she had said that after his leg healed, she would accompany him to Baiyu Peak to see the snow-capped mountains.

Meng Zhao felt that Qingying yearned for this place in her heart, so it was most likely that she went here.

He rode a fast horse all the way north, out of the north city gate, and looked for her all the way.

After chasing for more than half a month, Meng Zhao arrived at the foot of Baiyu Peak. He asked all the residents within a radius of ten miles, and they all said that they had never seen a slender, beautiful girl leading her parents and a boy of six or seven years old in a carriage.

Meng Zhao searched nearby for ten days and did not find any trace of Qingying. He realized belatedly that he might have been deceived. He

immediately turned around and headed south.

It was because he changed direction halfway and suddenly turned back that he was discovered by the servants of the Meng family and was targeted in Fu County.

Otherwise, with those stupid servants of the Meng family, how could they catch up with him.

After escaping from Fu County, Meng Zhao continued to ride south.

While he was hurrying, he asked the residents along the way if they had seen a beautiful girl with a slender figure, about as tall as his shoulders, passing by with an old couple and a boy in a carriage.

The residents along the way said that they seemed to have seen it, but they couldn't remember it clearly because it happened a month ago.

Meng Zhao continued to hurry forward and passed by an inn along the way. When he stayed in the inn, he asked the shopkeeper.

After listening to Meng Zhao's description, the shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Yes, the girl and her family stayed at my place for a night half a month ago."
