Chapter 227: A Thousand Miles to Find Her Husband Lu Jingyao
Capital City, Wei Mansion.
The setting sun in the sky is as orange as fire, burning the clouds and turning them into a sunset.
Lu Jingyao leaned on the window edge with her arms propped up, looking at the beautiful sunset in her eyes, but her heart felt unbearable.
Today is the tenth day of March, more than ten days have passed since her "half-year appointment" with Wei Changtian.
Lu Jingyao was counting the days every day, and went straight to Shuzhou as soon as the preparation time came.
But at this juncture, Daning was completely plunged into chaos.
Under such circumstances, Wei Xianzhi would certainly not let her go all the way to Shuzhou to find Wei Changtian, and would not even let her leave the house for safety reasons.
After all, if the Liu family "repeat their old tricks" and engage in kidnapping again, then this helpless daughter-in-law would be the best choice.
Since she couldn't go out, Lu Jingyao could only stay in the house all day and listen to the servants talk about what was happening outside.
At the Chunlong Poetry Festival, Xianggong composed nine poems that have been handed down from generation to generation. The Liu family's plot to assassinate Xianggong failed. The Xu family kidnapped the prince to rebel, and Da Feng planned to send troops to Western Xinjiang...
Although under Wei Xianzhi's instruction, the servants mostly reported good news rather than bad news when talking about these things, Lu Jingyao could still hear the turmoil in the current situation in Daning.
And the more this happened, the more she worried about Wei Changtian's safety, and the more she wanted to go to Shuzhou at all costs...
"Madam, what are you looking at?"
The door was gently pushed open, and Qiuyun, who had just finished feeding the three big hens in the yard, walked in.
"I see that you have been lying here for half an hour."
"nothing......"
Lu Jingyao stood up, rubbed her numb arms, wrinkled her face and asked, "Qiuyun, do you think if I go and beg my father-in-law again, will he allow us to go to Shuzhou?"
"Madam, I'm afraid the master will not agree."
Qiuyun no longer knows how many times he has answered this question: "This is also for your own good."
"But......"
Lu Jingyao murmured: "But I really can't worry about my husband..."
"I can't worry about you, Master."
Qiuyun came closer and continued to persuade: "Madam, but we should listen to the master."
"If the master refuses, we won't be able to go even if we want to."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyao immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
At present, the Wei Mansion is surrounded by guards, both covert and covert. Without Wei Xianzhi's consent, he really can't even get out of the gate.
On the other side, Qiu Yun thought she had figured it out when he saw this, and quickly took the opportunity to say: "Madam, the meal is ready..."
"I won't eat."
Lu Jingyao interrupted sullenly, then got into the bed curtains without even taking off her clothes and began to shut herself up.
Qiu Yun was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the room with a wry smile. When he came back, he was holding a small wooden plate with several plates of delicious side dishes and a bowl of white porridge.
"Madam, if you don't want to eat, just drink some porridge."
"..."
"Madam, you always skip meals like this. What should you do if you are starving?"
"..."
"Madam, the young master asked me to take good care of you before he left."
"..."
"Madam, if you still don't eat, then I will write a letter to the young master to complain."
"......snort!"
With a muffled groan, Lu Jingyao finally poked her head out from the curtain.
"Qiuyun! If I had known this, I shouldn't have taught you how to read!"
"It's too late for Madam to regret it now."
Qiuyun calmly put down the wooden plate and arranged the chopsticks and spoons, but he still had no intention of leaving.
Lu Jingyao was "threatened". Although she really had no appetite, she didn't want Wei Changtian to worry, so she reluctantly got out of bed and started eating.
"GuluGulu~"
"Bah, bah, bah~"
The food that Qiu Yun brought was not much, and Lu Jingyao just wanted to finish eating quickly and go back to herself, so the bowl of white porridge quickly ran out.
"Madam, I'll serve another bowl."
Qiu Yun immediately wanted to pick up the bowl, but Lu Jingyao immediately reached out to protect the porcelain bowl.
"No more! I'm full!"
Although she didn't know whether Lu Jingyao was really full or was full of anger, Qiu Yun hesitated for a moment and didn't force it. She turned around and prepared to leave with the wooden plate in hand.
But at this moment...
"Boom!"
A muffled sound suddenly came from behind.
Qiu Yun quickly looked back, and then saw Lu Jingyao covering her forehead with tears in her eyes, and at the same time kicked the bedpost in front of her hard.
"..."
It was obvious that he accidentally hit his head.
Qiu Yun felt distressed and wanted to laugh at the same time, and wanted to ask Lu Jingyao if everything was okay.
But the next moment, she was stunned on the spot.
Not only Qiu Yun, but also Lu Jingyao forgot about the pain on her forehead for a moment, opening her mouth wide and looking at a place beside the bed.
Originally there was nothing here, but now there is a big dark hole.
"Husband, madam, what is this..."
"Okay, it seems to be a secret passage..."
...
Two hours later.
In a dead end about half a mile away from the Wei Mansion, a piece of turf suddenly shook slightly and then rose up little by little...
A pair of big eyes slowly emerged from the gap. They looked around cautiously and then quickly retracted.
"Qiuyun! Outside is Qingyu Lane!"
In the fluorescent tunnel, Lu Jingyao looked excited: "The guards at home will not be able to notice when they leave from here! Then we can go to Shuzhou to find our husband!"
"lady......"
Qiu Yun, who was holding the Night Pearl, looked helpless: "Even if the guards in the mansion don't notice it, how can we two women get from the capital to Shuzhou?"
"Oh, just find an escort agency."
Lu Jingyao said nonchalantly: "If it doesn't work, just buy a carriage and hire a driver!"
“We have money, why can’t we go there?”
"But if we run away secretly..."
Qiu Yun worriedly said: "The master will be furious when he finds out."
"If father-in-law blames me, he blames me. It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Jingyao first took the initiative to take over all responsibilities, but seeing Qiu Yun still resisting, she suddenly changed her strategy as she rolled her eyes.
"Qiu Yun, now that the Wei family and the Liu family are fighting to the death, my husband will not live a peaceful life in Shuzhou."
"Aren't you worried about my husband?"
"Worried, but..."
"Don't you want to be by your husband's side at this time?"
"I hope, but..."
"Aren't you willing to live and die with your husband, and share weal and woe?"
"willing......"
"Then do you want to go to Shuzhou with me?"
"think......"
Although Qiuyun is more mature than Yuan'er, he is not very independent.
What's more, Lu Jingyao used Wei Changtian as "bait" and immediately swayed her.
"not to mention......"
Looking at Qiu Yun with a troubled look on her face, Lu Jingyao struck the final blow at the right moment.
"What's more, my husband also promised to marry you and marry Yuan'er."
"If we go to Shuzhou earlier, this matter can be fulfilled earlier, right?"
"And if we delay it any longer and my husband has a new love in Shuzhou, then..."
