Song Luan didn't know where she could run to. She had no money on her, not even any valuable jewelry.
A person who should have been dead reappeared. Zhao Wenyan's face turned pale with fright. She wandered around the street for two rounds. The sky gradually darkened. Song Luan's stomach growled in protest. The aroma of the bun shop came from afar. She took small steps closer and swallowed her saliva at the buns in the steamer.
I'm so hungry. I'm almost starving to death.
I really want to eat it.
There was a pair of hands in sight, small and dirty. The girl spoke in a very thin voice, lowering her voice for fear that others would hear, "Boss, I want two buns."
"Okay."
Song Luan turned her head. Even though the face in front of her was a little black due to the dust, she recognized who it was at a glance. "Ah Yun?"
The little girl was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the two buns. She looked terrified, and only when she recognized Song Luan did she breathe a sigh of relief, "Is it... is it... is it Miss Song?"
Song Luan coughed twice and said, "It's me." She pointed at Ayun's outfit and asked, "How did you do this?"
His clothes were tattered, like a beggar's, and his face and arms were covered in dust.
Ah Yun wanted to go up and pull the corner of her clothes, but she thought she was very dirty and didn't touch her. She said tremblingly: "Miss Song, can you pretend that you haven't seen me? Don't tell Lord Zhao when you go back."
If Zhao Nanyu knew her whereabouts, he would definitely tell that man.
She has only been out for a few days! ?
She doesn't want to go back.
Li Han would be better off thinking she was dead.
Song Luan looked uncomfortable. It seemed that Ayun didn't seem to know that she was dead? ! After all, she is a celebrity! Is it true that no one gossips about her even after her death? This shouldn't happen!
Oh, yes, Ayun seemed to be even more pitiful than her. No one should have told her that she was dead, otherwise, with her courage, she would have fainted from fright.
"Did you run away secretly?" Song Luan guessed and asked.
In her heart, she was a little impressed by Ayun. It was extremely difficult to escape from the palace, and she didn't know how she escaped.
Awesome.
Ayun lowered her head and said, "I...I..." She stammered and couldn't speak. She was a little scared, afraid that Song Luan would tell others her whereabouts.
Ayun was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Song Luan held her hand and said, "Don't cry. I won't tell anyone."
She herself doesn't know what to do.
Ayun wiped away her tears and said thank you several times, "It took me a lot of effort to sneak out." She was locked up for several months. Li Han told her all the news and didn't let her see anyone. The palace maid who brought her food every day was like a mute and kept silent.
Her eyes widened as she complained, "He didn't give me food and I was hungry for days! I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran away. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I'm leaving now."
Song Luan held her hand and said, "Wait."
"What...what happened?"
Song Luan asked awkwardly: "Do you have any money on you?"
Ah Yun shook his head. "I don't have any silver, but I brought out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."
She took out all the golden jewelry in her arms and said, "Look! I brought all of them here."
She also thought that she couldn't do without money. She had no silver, but she could exchange these things for silver.
"Okay, then do you have somewhere to go?" Song Luan asked.
Ayun still shook his head.
Song Luan said shamelessly, "Then let's be companions together!"
"ah?"
"To be honest, Zhao Nanyu didn't give me any food, so I ran away secretly."
At this point, she can only keep Ayun company! At least this way you won't starve to death.
Ah Yun didn't quite believe it, "But... I think Lord Zhao likes you very much."
Song Luan pretended to wipe away her tears, "Every family has its own problems. Actually, he wanted to kill me so I ran away."
Song Luan remembered that she was not without money. Most of the small treasury she had saved in the past was still in the Zhao family and could not be taken out. There was also a small part in Huai Jin's yard. She'd better not appear in Huaijin's sight, it would be bad to scare the little boy.
As the two were talking, the Jinwu Guards passed by the long street in a menacing manner, searching every house, as if they were looking for someone. Song Luan thought that since they were sent by the palace, they must be here to look for Ayun.
She squatted in a corner with Ah Yun and pressed her face between her legs to prevent her from showing her face.
The Jinwu Guards had sharp swords on their waists and had gloomy faces. They interrogated each person one by one and it seemed that they would not give up until they found the person.
When they didn't find anyone, they went to the next place. Song Luan and Ayun had a chance to catch their breath. If Ayun was found, she probably wouldn't be able to escape.
It's very annoying.
The two timid people did not dare to stay in the hotel. Song Luan took the hairpin given by Ayun to the pawnshop and pawned it for twenty taels of silver. She didn't know that the hairpin must be worth more than twenty taels, but she didn't care about it now as she was in a hurry to use the money.
Song Luan was particularly smart and picked the one with the worst business. Judging from the sign, it looked like a pawnshop that was about to go bankrupt. Ayun's things must have been given by the scumbag emperor. If they were discovered by a shopkeeper who knew the value of the things, they would be finished.
After hearing what she said, Ah Yun said foolishly: "He didn't give it to me. I bought it with my own money."
Song Luan was curious, "How much did you spend?"
Ah Yun thought for a moment and said, "One hundred taels!"
Although it was still Li Han's money that was spent.
Song Luan felt heartbroken, she felt she had suffered a loss! When she has money in the future, she will help Ayun redeem the gold hairpin.
It was obvious that Ayun was afraid of being alone. She held her hand tightly and hid behind her carefully, looking very anxious. This was not difficult to understand, as she had been hiding here and there for the past few days, fearing that she would be found.
"Miss Song, where are we going now? What should we do?" She stared at Song Luan with her eyes wide open, "How about we go to Jiangnan? My old home is in Jiangnan, it's so beautiful."
This way she won't be chased.
"It's too late now, let's find a place to stay first."
"Oh, okay."
The two men found a shabby inn and moved in cautiously.
Ah Yun was so dirty that she looked terrible. After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, she could see the appearance of the lovely round-faced girl she used to be. However, she seemed not satisfied with the beautiful clothes. "It's easy to recognize me. I'd better put on the clothes I just wore. I bought them from a little beggar."
Before long, the streets must be covered with her portraits. Ayun really didn't want to be caught and locked up for a few more months.
She poked her fingers and was not very happy. Li Han was much cuter when he was a child and he would never do anything to make her sad. When he said he wanted to come back for revenge, she was actually unwilling to do so in her heart. She had heard a lot when she was a child that the palace was a place where people were eaten.
At that time, Ayun only sent him to the dock and had no plans to go back to the capital with him. But later her home was gone and she had nowhere to go, so she had to follow Li Han back.
Why are men so fickle? Li Han always called her his sweetheart, but he was merciless when torturing and bullying her.
The child said she didn't want it and she didn't want it. When she went on a hunger strike, he really didn't give her any food, and he didn't even let her drink water. Such a man is really cruel.
So Ayun pretended to be dying and tricked the palace maid into going to find the imperial physician. She then changed into a palace maid's clothes, hid in an empty slop bucket, and escaped from the palace.
Song Luan comforted her, "Tomorrow I will paint your face a little dirty so you won't be afraid."
At night, the two of them squeezed into one bed. Song Luan had no desire to sleep, and many things were running through her mind. She thought of Zhao Nanyu again and his tears, but apart from feeling a little blocked in her heart, the throbbing she had for Zhao Nanyu before seemed to no longer exist.
But if she went back like this, she didn't know what Zhao Nanyu would do. Think of her as a fake? Or will you still believe in ghosts and gods?
After daybreak, Song Luan and Ayun packed up and went to the city gate. They walked to the corner and took a look. They saw that the guards at the city gate were extremely strict, and there was a portrait of Ayun on the city wall. There was even a portrait of her wearing men's clothing on it.
Song Luan obediently took Ayun out of the city gate and spent a few taels of silver to rent a remote courtyard. Although the price was a bit expensive, the courtyard was clean and at least they didn't have to clean it much.
She stayed here temporarily. Song Luan didn't dare let Ayun go out to buy groceries, but every time she went out by herself, she wore a veil, for fear of scaring acquaintances like the day she ran into Zhao Wenyan.
She was unsure whether Zhao Wenyan would tell Zhao Nanyu about what he saw her.
Ayun was easy to feed, had no temper, spoke softly, and would eat whatever was cooked. Song Luan discovered that she had an unusually good appetite and could eat two bowls of rice at every meal.
The peaceful days did not last for a few days. One night, just as they fell asleep, there was a bang on the yard door. The person knocking was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to kick the door open.
Ayun was hiding in the quilt and shivering. Song Luan could see that the little girl was really scared of the scumbag emperor. She thought of the gorgeous cage she had seen and shuddered all over. Everyone is afraid of a perverted man.
Just like Zhao Nanyu always said he would break her legs, she was also afraid of Zhao Nanyu.
And judging from what that charlatan said, it seems that Zhao Nanyu has turned evil? Are you starting to go crazy? She locks you up because she loves you when she is reading novels, but when it comes to her turn, she can only decline the offer!
Song Luan touched her head and put on her clothes. "Hide in the haystack behind the stove."
Song Luan did not forget to paint some freckles on her face. She held a lantern, opened the gate, and pretended to be impatient, "Who is it? You're knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Can't I sleep?"
When I opened the door, I was faced with a cold and heroic face.
There was a group of people standing behind him. He stared at Song Luan's face for a long time, making sure that she was not the person in the portrait. "Excuse me."
Song Luan was more than capable of playing the role of a shrew. "You can just say sorry for disturbing you and that's it?! Do I have to be afraid of you just because there are so many of you? Do you know that you are disturbing the public? I have to get up early tomorrow to do business, so get out of here right now."
After hearing her words, the man waved his hand to his subordinates behind him and said, "Go in and search."
Song Luan's face changed, "What are you doing?" She simply shouted without caring about her image, "Someone come, this is a robbery."
She slightly pulled open her collar, "This is indecent! This is an official of the imperial court indecent."
Originally, no neighbors wanted to join in the fun when she was yelling, but when they heard the words "official appointed by the imperial court", the neighbors all came out to watch the fun. The joke of being an official is still more entertaining!
The man sneered and pulled out the long knife from his waist, "Everyone get in."
The crowd dispersed again.
This group of people searched the house ruthlessly. After searching for a while, someone came out to report.
"Sir, no one was found."
The man looked calm and said, "It's in this area. We'll search the remaining households tomorrow."
"yes."
Song Luan was terrified when he heard this. After they left, he locked the door tightly and pulled Ayun out of the haystack. The two said in unison, "We can't stay here any longer."
Ah Yun was still shaking, "How do you think they found this place?"
Song Luan immediately realized that the problem was the golden hairpin she was playing! It was obvious at first glance that the hairpin was not an ordinary item, which was why she subconsciously thought it was a gift from the scumbag emperor.
Ayun was too naive. She might have been "sold" to her by the scumbag emperor on a whim just to make her happy.
But if you don’t value it, where will the money come from?
The two of them had very little silver left, and Song Luan wanted to move to another place, but she was really short of money. In addition, the Jinwu Guards came and went on this street and never set foot in their territory again.
They relaxed.
When Gu Yan met Zhao Nanyu, he greeted him politely.
Even a big and strong man like him couldn't help but sigh that this powerful official was really good-looking, except that he was too white and looked dull.
He was busy catching someone at the moment and had no time to greet Zhao Nanyu. After a few words, he left.
Zhao Nanyu looked at the Jinwu Guards behind him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you found the person?"
Gu Yan nodded, "I found it. I was just about to get him."
Zhao Nanyu shook his head. "Too reckless. I'm afraid the news would have reached her ears before you guys even arrived."
It’s quite a big scene.
Gu Yan pondered and felt that what he said made some sense. They had searched the yard once before but found nothing. They must have alerted the enemy.
"Master Zhao is right, but if we don't bring more people, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it."
Zhao Nanyu pulled the corner of his mouth, "Master Gu, can't you take down a weak woman?"
He couldn't remember what the woman Li Han was determined to capture looked like, he only remembered that she was probably a very timid woman.
"Then I'll go first." Gu Yan suddenly stopped and asked, "Master Zhao, why don't we go together?"
Zhao Nanyu paused for a while, then replied calmly, "No."
