Upon hearing that Jiang Xuelin had run away from the wedding, Hongluo felt her scalp tingle. Looking at Luluo, who was now wearing a wedding dress, she understood everything.
"Green Ivy and Green Ivy, you two hold on tight. I roughly know where the young lady is going to start. Let's go after her now. If the young lady knows that the Prince of Ping has already run away from the marriage, she will definitely not leave and will definitely come back."
These maids had served Jiang Xuelin for many years and naturally knew her style very well. She was indeed bold and disregarded rules, but she would not provoke the current etiquette and rules.
If Fu Hanlai had run away from the wedding, she would never have left. Now that she's run away, it's only because she thinks Fu Hanlai really intends to get married—which is the worst possible choice.
If that were really the case, these maids wouldn't have tried to dissuade her. But the problem is, the Prince of Ping has already run away from the marriage!
Their daughter no longer has to bear the responsibility of running away from the wedding!
The most important thing right now is to find the girl who has run away; otherwise, the responsibility that was originally the responsibility of the Prince Ping's mansion will now have to be borne by the girl as well.
Green Ivy and Green Ivy nodded repeatedly, urging Red Ivy to hurry up and chase after the girl. They had to be quick, because the girl wouldn't be too fast inside the city. Once she left the city, no one would be able to catch her.
Hongluo knew the situation was urgent, so she went out without saying a word. She happened to run into Jiang Xuelin's sister-in-law, Madam Lu, at the door. Seeing her hurrying, Madam Lu stopped her and asked if Jiang Xuelin had any instructions.
"We'll be busy all day. If your young lady is hungry, you can give her some small snacks, but please don't let her have tea. Otherwise, if she needs to use the restroom in the middle of the day, it will be very unlucky." Madam Lu thought of Jiang Xuelin's temperament and was worried that her personal maids might not know what was important, so she quickly reminded them.
"I've already had the kitchen prepare those small snacks. You can take them over to your sister later."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Madam. I was just about to go find my mother and then go to the kitchen to get some food for you, Miss." Honglu smiled gratefully and then quickly bid farewell to Madam Lu and left.
Seeing her hurried steps, Madam Lu couldn't help but shake her head. Fortunately, her sister's wet nurse would also be going with her. With Granny Cai there, the dowry she was bringing would be more stable.
Hongluo left Madam Lu's sight, found the mute nanny, and then quickly and secretly left the Marquis's mansion through a small gate.
Anxious and worried, she first went to a carriage shop to inquire, then rented a horse and chased after them.
If she hadn't known that things couldn't be exposed and hadn't disguised herself so that no one would have noticed she was a servant of the Marquis of Jing'an's household, this matter would probably have caused quite a stir.
On the other side, Qingluo, who was left in the house to buy time, was also pacing around in circles, equally anxious.
Such an important matter was not something a servant like her could decide. Just then, Jiang Xuelin's wet nurse, Granny Cai, came over.
Granny Cai was worried that Jiang Xuelin might be hungry, so she brought some snacks for her to fill her stomach. Otherwise, there was still a whole day to go. Granny Cai also felt sorry for the girl she had raised since she was a child. But when she came in, she saw that Qingluo's expression was not right.
These maids were usually managed by Granny Cai, so even though Qingluo tried her best to hide it, Granny Cai still noticed something was wrong.
Qinglu hesitated for a moment, then remembered that Granny Cai was Jiang Xuelin's wet nurse and had always doted on her daughter. Her daughter, Zilu, was in charge of managing Jiang Xuelin's things, so she was naturally considered one of them. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and briefly told Granny Cai what had happened.
Granny Cai: "..."
I almost dropped the plate of snacks in my hand.
"……What did you say?"
Unable to believe what she was hearing, and thinking she had misheard, Granny Cai couldn't help but ask again, her gaze shifting to "Jiang Xuelin" on the bed.
Upon hearing footsteps, Green Ivy quickly covered her veil, afraid of being discovered. But when she heard Green Ivy tell Granny Cai what had happened, she carefully lifted the veil and forced an awkward smile at Granny Cai, "...Granny."
Granny Cai: "..."
My vision went black for a moment.
What kind of mess is this?!
What kind of mess is this?!
Granny Cai had lived for decades and had never seen anything so outrageous!
Not only is it outrageous for the bride to run away from her wedding day, but it's even more outrageous for the groom to do the same!
However, the most urgent task is not to think about who is more outrageous. The most important thing right now is to tell the Lady of Jing'an, the mistress of the house, about this matter, and then quickly find a way to bring the person back quietly!
"I'll settle your score with you two later. I'm going to the front to find Madam and tell her about this privately!"
"Granny! If we tell the madam, we'll be exposed, Miss..."
Seeing the two maids hesitate, Granny Cai was about to explode. "This matter must be told to Madam!"
If they could find Jiang Xuelin, everything would be fine. But the problem is that there are too many unexpected events in the process, and no one can be sure whether they can find Jiang Xuelin or when they will find her.
If Lady Jing'an were informed, she would be able to respond promptly to any unexpected situations, instead of remaining completely unaware as she is now.
Moreover, it would be best to have Lady Jing'an Marquis come to the task of finding Jiang Xuelin; she would naturally be able to come up with a better solution.
This was definitely not something that the few servants could handle.
"I'll settle accounts with you later!" After saying a few simple words, Granny Cai saw that the two audacious maids, Qingluo and Lüluo, understood the importance of the matter. She angrily tapped Qingluo's head and then hurried out to find Lady Jing'an, who was entertaining guests.
On such a joyous occasion as Lady Jing'an was entertaining relatives and friends, many people naturally came to offer their congratulations, and closer relatives would even present additional gifts.
Her own family wasn't here, and the Lady of Jing'an Marquis hadn't informed them of this matter. No one from the Xie family came over.
When Granny Cai came looking for her, Lady Jing'an was talking to the old maternal aunt of the An family.
This great-aunt of the An family is the maternal aunt of the Marquis of Jing'an, the sister-in-law of the deceased old lady of the Marquis of Jing'an, and also the mother-in-law of the An family cousin who performed the facial hair ceremony for Jiang Xuelin.
Granny Cai first found Granny Fang and whispered a few words to her. Then Granny Fang went to whisper something to the Lady of Jing'an Marquis.
Lady Jing'an's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered, said a few more words, and then left, carefully choosing her words.
"What's going on?!"
"Madam...the young lady has run away from her arranged marriage!" Granny Cai dropped a bombshell without hesitation.
Lady Jing'an: "..."
What sins did I commit in my past life?!
That wasn't the end of it; Granny Cai dropped another bombshell.
"Also, the heir of the Prince Ping's mansion has run away from his arranged marriage!"
Lady Jing'an: "..."
