Cao Xinyao and Dongman had two children, and they really suffered a lot before finally escaping to Jingxian County.
Fortunately, Cao Xinyao was literate and was always thinking about the warm winter, so he would look through the map from time to time.
Otherwise, according to the characteristics of young ladies or noble ladies in ancient times who would get lost if they did not go out or step out the second door, Cao Xinyao and Dongman would not know where to escape.
Therefore, reading more books is always useful.
After Cao Xinyao drank half a bowl of porridge, she watched the maid on Dong Nuan's side feed the two children and eat something. Then she felt a little relieved. She gnawed the buns regardless of her image and spoke: "Last year, we were near the northwest.
In several states, heavy snow has closed the mountains, and food production has been reduced. The situation is not good. The forces in various places are just ready to take action. I didn't find anything wrong at first, but one time, I accidentally heard that..."
Halfway through his words, he almost called out to the prefect of Zhou, Ding Prefecture, as "father-in-law".
Fortunately, she reacted quickly. After lightly spitting, Didigu said: Bad luck!
Then, he changed his words and said again: "Zhou Jian and Zhou Cong were quietly discussing how to write a letter to Nanguo. At that time, I also accidentally walked to the back window of their study. Behind that area was the rockery corridor.
Next to it is the servants' room, and no one usually goes there. When I heard about this, I thought I heard it wrong, so I took advantage of the time difference and quietly went there to listen a few more times, and found that it was indeed the case."
Zhou Jian is the full name of Magistrate Zhou, and Zhou Cong is the name of his other son.
After finishing speaking in one breath, Cao Xinyao took a moment to calm down.
After all the tossing along the way, her physical strength was not very good now. After taking a few heavy breaths, she continued: "Treason! Such a big thing is going to kill the nine tribes. How could I let it go? So,
Afterwards, I tried to test Zhou Ming. I didn’t want to alert the snake. I didn’t test him personally, but tested his favorite concubine for the past six months. Then I discovered that the woman was actually from the South, but her identity was hidden.
Very good, if I hadn't observed carefully, seen some of her living habits, and quietly checked her identity, I probably wouldn't have discovered it."
Dong Nuan sat aside and listened quietly to Cao Xinyao talking about these things.
After Cao Xinyao knew that the Zhou family might be treason, she still wanted to directly instigate rebellion in Dingzhou, and then attack General Wu from both front and back, trapping him to death in Border City, how could she still sit still.
Therefore, she quietly sent someone to deliver the message to General Wu. The person she sent was her confidant maid who had followed her all the way from the capital.
At the same time, Cao Xinyao was also more cautious and was not unprepared.
After all, her investigation into Zhou Ming's concubine's affairs was not too low-key. If she was discovered, she might not be safe.
Sure enough, just two days after Cao Xinyao's people left, the people in the Zhou Mansion realized something was wrong, and then they immediately imposed martial law in the mansion and prepared to trap Cao Xinyao!
Speaking of the escape, Cao Xinyao smiled bitterly: "If it wasn't for Xiaoman, I'm afraid I would have been murdered long ago, but it's hard to say, what if they took me as a hostage? In fact, the child belongs to their Zhou family, and they
I may not take action, but if I am gone, the fate of the child will not be much better in the future, and the Zhou family will definitely be implicated in the treason, so it is better for me to find a way to take him away."
Cao Xinyao also personally taught these two children, so they were very close to her, but they were not favored by anyone else, and they were alienated from their mother.
In addition, although the two children are still young, they obey their mother very much. They will be obedient and obedient no matter what Cao Xinyao says. Because of this, the journey is quite peaceful.
"It's just that although I've seen the map, I haven't actually walked it. I took a lot of detours along the way. I'm not sure if other people can believe it, so I struggled for so long." In the end, Cao Xinyao couldn't control it.
Stop, the tears just fell down.
Xiaoman was a little panicked, not knowing how to coax him, and then looked at Dongnuan helplessly.
Dong Nuan patted her back gently and comforted her softly. She didn't need to say any big words, she just comforted her. She was safe now, so don't worry. The child was by her side and watching her.
After a while, Cao Xinyao was comforted.
A woman who can escape with her children after such a big thing happens is not too fragile psychologically.
Therefore, Cao Xinyao calmed down after being comforted by Dong Nuan.
"You guys stay here first and recuperate your health. Let's see what happens next. No matter what, I will protect you. His Majesty sent you a letter in a hurry before and also mentioned your matter to me.
, Don’t worry, Your Majesty knows it well.” In order to reassure Cao Xinyao, Dong Nuan also mentioned His Majesty’s letter.
Just to tell her that His Majesty knows everything she has done and still remembers it in his heart.
Hearing Dong Nuan say this, Cao Xinyao felt much more at ease.
She, Xiaoman, and their two children had a rather plain meal.
After all, I have been running away for so long, so I didn’t suffer much at first, but after I got lost, I suffered a lot. When I first encounter eating and drinking, I don’t want to eat and drink too much, just be simple and indifferent, and slowly overdo it.
The two children were obviously frightened and probably needed to be comforted.
Nowadays, there are no psychologists who can help them adjust, so their mothers have to work hard to help them adjust slowly and give them a sense of security.
Here in Dongnuan, the second phase of the staff dormitory has just been completed, and it will be good for Cao Xinyao and her children to live there.
There are quite a lot of houses in the second phase, and Dong Nuan also specially reserved a row of five houses for her to live alone. This place is reserved for her and Hanjiang Tower to live in. In addition, Hanjiang Tower is used for working and studying, and Dong Nuan is used for daily processing.
The place is very big, and it will not be a problem for the four of Cao Xinyao and the others.
Cao Xinyao naturally did not refuse Dong Nuan's arrangement, but she did not go directly to the main room. She was not stupid, so she naturally saw it. This was probably prepared by Dong Nuan for herself.
So, she took her child to the side room in the second east room. That room was also very large. Now there was no furniture or anything in place. She just put a bed, a table and chairs and other things, and it was ready to live in.
.
As for Dongman, she can live on a small couch or go to the staff dormitory at the back. There are many places in Dongnuan, so she can go wherever she wants.
Strictly speaking, Dong Man was not Cao Xinyao's maid, so Dong Nuan thought about it and asked Butler Qin to help Cao Xinyao find two more maids. After all, she still had two children to take care of, and she was afraid of being alone.
It's too busy.
There are two confidant maids of Cao Xinyao. One has already gone to Border City to report the news. The other one, Cao Xinyao did not say anything about it and did not take it with her when she left. There is probably something going on inside.
Dong Nuan didn't ask much, but when Dong Nuan followed Dong Nuan out, she whispered to her: "The girl's other maid, Qiongzhi, is from Fuzhi, and she followed that bastard Zhou Ming early, but she didn't dare to tell her
, Zhou Ming didn’t mention it, so the girl pretended not to know, and didn’t take her with her when escaping this time, for fear that she would get into trouble.”
