The madam was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xian'er to be so attentive. Xian'er had never cared about the two concubines, so why did she suddenly think of running to Xu Ling'er's yard to guard them?
She asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Master, why did Xian'er suddenly care about Ling'er?"
Master Shangshu said with emotion: "Xian'er has grown up."
Master Shangshu was indeed a little emotional that his second son had finally grown up.
"Master, should we discuss Xian'er's marriage?" the lady said with a smile.
"Well, in a few days, it's time to send a message to Baili's family," the master said.
"Okay, leave this to me," the lady said.
"After Ling'er comes back safely, let's go to Baili Mansion to propose marriage to Xian'er." Master Shangshu said.
The madam nodded. He knew that the master was still worried about Ling'er. If Ling'er didn't come back, he might not have the heart to prepare for Xian'er's marriage. She knew the master too well. Among the four daughters, the daughter he favored most was not Yu'er.
, but the Linger that Aunt Yun gave birth to for him.
That night, the secret guard following Xu Ling'er wrote a letter and gave it to Nighthawk. Nighthawk sent the letter to Hades' Mansion. After Yefeng received the letter, he handed it directly to Feng Mingye.
Feng Mingye opened it and looked at it, then asked Ye Feng to deliver it to the second young master.
Early the next morning, after the second young master got up, he found an extra letter on the table.
The second young master thought for a while and then opened the letter. The content in the letter was so thrilling that the second young master was secretly glad that he invited secret guards to follow Xu Ling'er.
After Xu Ling'er left the other courtyard, she was not in a hurry to leave the city because she was worried that she would be discovered by others, so she chose an inconspicuous inn to stay.
When it was dark the next day, Xu Ling'er hired a carriage next to the inn and left the capital.
But when the groom saw that Xu Ling'er was the only one leaving the city, and there was no one around, he became malicious and planned to gain both wealth and wealth.
Xu Ling'er didn't know the road anyway, so the coachman drove the carriage further and further into the countryside. After driving the carriage into the woods, he stopped.
Xu Ling'er felt something was wrong, so she opened the curtain and planned to ask the coachman why he stopped, but found that the carriage had actually stopped in the woods.
"Why did the carriage stop?" Xu Ling'er said tentatively.
"Little girl, be obedient and I won't take your life." The coachman suddenly laughed lewdly.
Xu Ling'er didn't expect that she would encounter bad guys the first time she went out. Although she was frightened, she knew she couldn't compromise easily.
"If you want money, I can give you all the money I have. If you still want to live, let me go." Xu Ling'er said coldly.
How could the coachman let the swan fly away so easily? He also planned to sell the swan to Yihongyuan after the robbery. Besides, if he seizes this charming lady, wouldn't the money be his in the end?
So, he smiled coldly and said, "I want both beauty and money."
After the coachman finished speaking, he rushed directly into the carriage. Xu Ling'er thought that she was doomed and planned to commit suicide before being insulted. However, after the coachman rushed into the carriage, he fell in front of him with a loud sound.
Xu Ling'er was frightened. After she recovered, she discovered a man in black standing in front of the carriage. She looked at the coachman in front of her and saw that he had already died.
It was the first time that Xu Ling'er saw someone die in front of her, and she was so frightened that she suddenly saw a man in black standing in front of him with a sword, and the sword was dripping with blood.
Before he could ask who the man in black was, he fainted on the carriage.
After the man in black dealt with the coachman, he drove the carriage to the county seat. He wrote a letter and sent it back to Hades Mansion, and waited for Xu Ling'er to wake up when he came back.
However, Xu Ling'er still had a high fever. She had a high fever after kneeling in the ancestral hall all night. She left the hospital just after the fever subsided. As a result, she started to have a high fever again because she was frightened.
The secret guard had no choice but to find a doctor who prescribed medicine for her. After drinking the medicine, she waited for her fever to subside.
After the second young master read the news, he quickly went to Hades' Mansion.
When Feng Mingye saw the second young master, she asked, "If you don't go to the county town to bring your sister back, why are you going to Hades' Mansion?"
"Thank you, Your Highness Pluto, for your foresight, otherwise Ling'er," the second young master said respectfully.
"Go and take this person back quickly," Feng Mingye said.
The second young master is really scared. Xu Ling'er has a strong temper. If something happens, he will definitely not survive. Thanks to His Highness Pluto for keeping the two secret guards by his side, otherwise something will really happen to Xu Ling'er.
After listening to Feng Mingye's words, the second young master left the Hades Mansion and flew directly to the county town.
After he arrived, Xu Ling'er had not yet woken up, and the secret guard was walking into the house carrying the decoction.
After the second young master took the decoction from the secret guard, he entered the house.
He put the decoction on the table first and walked to Xu Ling'er's side. He stretched out his hand to explore Xu Ling'er's forehead and found that the fever had subsided. He fed the decoction down spoon by spoon and finally wiped the corners of Xu Ling'er's mouth.
An hour later, Xu Linger slowly opened her eyes.
She didn't know where she was, but she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, the person she saw was the second young master.
"Second brother?" Xu Ling'er said hoarsely.
"Drink some water first." The second young master helped Xu Ling'er up with a glass of water.
Xu Ling'er had been frightened before, and when she saw her second brother beside her, tears of grievance flowed down her face.
"Okay, don't cry. It's over." The second young master said.
He couldn't bear it, so he wiped Xu Yu'er's tears and put the water glass into Xu Ling'er's hand.
After Xu Ling'er drank a glass of water, her throat improved a little and she said, "Thank you, second brother."
"We are brothers and sisters. If you want to go to Yaowang Valley, you can discuss with us why you should secretly leave the other courtyard?" the second young master said.
"After listening to my father's words, I felt very guilty. If it weren't for me, Mrs. Yin and You'er would never have left. I wanted to do my best to persuade them to come back. But I didn't expect that I hadn't left Nanzhao yet.
Something happened to the country." Xu Ling'er said aggrievedly.
"I know that you have always been arrogant and like to live alone. However, you have never left the capital, so you naturally don't know how dangerous people's hearts are. Do you know that your father and Aunt Yun are already frightened because you ran away from home?"
The second young master continued.
"Auntie, is she okay?" Xu Ling'er asked worriedly.
"Did you think of Aunt Yun at this time?" the second young master said.
Xu Ling'er said: "Second brother, actually I am not who you think I am. It's just my father's promise that makes me think that I have to alienate you." Xu Ling'er said.
"Father and Aunt Yun didn't know that something happened to you, and I came over before I had time to tell them." The second young master said.
"Second brother, please don't tell your aunt about this. I'm worried that she will be frightened if she finds out. By the way, that man in black," Xu Ling'er said pleadingly.
"The man in black is from His Highness Pluto. He has been following you when you left the other courtyard. I was worried about your safety, so I asked them to follow you." The second young master said.
"Thank you, second brother, otherwise Ling'er might not have the face to live in this world." Xu Ling'er said regretfully.
"Don't think about it. Everything has passed. If you feel better, we will go home." The second young master said.
"Second brother, I want to go home now." Xu Ling'er said.
The second young master asked her to lie down for a while. He went out and bought a new set of clothes for Xu Ling'er. After Xu Ling'er changed her clothes, she got into the carriage.
After the second young master thanked the secret guard, he drove the carriage back to the other courtyard.
He took Xu Ling'er back to the courtyard and asked Xu Ling'er to freshen up before going to the main courtyard to greet her parents.
The second young master went to the main courtyard first. After seeing the master, he said: "Father, I have brought Ling'er back. Later, you can send someone to notify Aunt Yun to come over."
"Ling'er is back?" the master asked in surprise.
"Well, something almost happened. Thanks to the secret guard who rescued Ling'er in time." The second young master said.
He told the master the whole story and specifically asked the master not to tell Aunt Yun.
After hearing this, the master said, "Fortunately, His Highness Pluto's people took action in time, so Ling'er was not hurt."
Half an hour later, Xu Ling'er arrived at the main courtyard.
After arriving in the main courtyard this time, he took the initiative to kneel in front of the master, his wife and Aunt Yun, and said: "Father, mother, aunt, Ling'er has made you worried."
Aunt Yun looked Xu Ling'er up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not in any serious condition.
The master said: "Get up quickly, stop kneeling."
"Father, my daughter realizes her mistake." Xu Ling'er refused to get up and said.
The master had no choice but to go to Xu Ling'er and help her up, saying, "Weren't you sick before? Get up and talk."
"Thank you, father." Xu Ling'er said with red eyes.
"I don't have anything to say, just come back. Go back and talk to your aunt, she's going to be worried to death," the master said.
"Yes." Xu Ling'er responded.
So, Xu Ling'er followed Aunt Yun back to the courtyard.
"Why didn't you stay with her for more conversation?" Madam asked after Xu Ling'er left.
"Let the two of them talk," the master said.
Master Shangshu did not tell his wife about Xu Ling'er because he was worried that her wife would be too worried and reveal her fault.
After Xu Ling'er followed Aunt Yun back to the courtyard, Aunt Yun looked at Ling'er carefully again and said nervously: "Ling'er, are you okay?"
"Auntie, Ling'er is fine. It was my second brother who found me in the county town and brought me back." Xu Ling'er said.
Aunt Yun was too worried about Xu Ling'er, so she didn't notice any changes in Xu Ling'er. She just listened to Xu Ling'er and said, "Why did the second young master go to the county seat?"
"Second brother went to look for me all the time, but he didn't expect to find me right after he arrived in the county. Auntie, it's Ling'er's fault that made you worry," Xu Ling'er said.
"As long as you are safe and sound, I will rest assured. Don't scare Auntie again next time. You are my only daughter, and Auntie doesn't want to lose you," Aunt Yun said.
Xu Ling'er hugged Aunt Yun and said distressedly: "Auntie, Linger will never let Auntie worry in the future. In the past, it was Linger who was ignorant and made Auntie worry a lot. My second brother has already told me that since I
You haven't had a good rest since leaving."
"My Ling'er has become sensible." Aunt Yun said with emotion.
Aunt Yun did not expect that Xu Ling'er would become so sensible after running away from home this time.
I felt sorry for Xu Ling'er before and prepared a sumptuous dinner for her. After the meal, Xu Ling'er did not leave and stayed in Aunt Yun's yard to rest.
