Da Qiao, as the de facto mistress of the Sun family, naturally knows something about Sun Shangxiang's escape from marriage that has been widely circulated among families these days.
But... and because he knew what happened to Wu Guotai who stayed in Jianye, Da Qiao chose the most correct approach - silence.
Unlike Xiao Qiao who lost his temper, at least he could keep his composure, which is very useful at the moment.
It was precisely because he knew that Da Qiao could keep his composure that after hearing Sun Shangxiang's description, Yi Xiaotian gave the suggestion that Sun Shangxiang find Da Qiao first.
As expected, in Wuxian County, where everyone is in danger now, the best place for Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi to hide their bodies is naturally Da Qiao's home.
Of course...this time Sun Shangxiang came to Wu County even at the risk of being discovered. Naturally, there was something that she could do.
——
"So that's it..."
"Xiao Zhao woke up early in the morning and told me that someone in the city posted news about you, Sister Shangxiang, all over the streets last night. However, this incident angered the prefect, and the officers and soldiers took down these notices early.
——Is it possible that you also did this?"
Sun Shangxiang quickly finished explaining all the things she had encountered in her career, focusing on her encounter with Yi Xiaotian and how they avoided dangers and came to Wuhui.
The thoughtful Da Qiao finally nodded, but when he asked about other questions, Da Qiao did not look at Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang still fell into her arms and refused to let go for a long time. Da Qiao was looking at her.
Lu Lingqi spoke.
"Sir, as ordered, Mrs. Qiao will be a very important part of our plan to assist us. If... Madam is willing to promise us not to disclose our plan and whereabouts... Well, regarding the plan, I will respond to all requests and answer all questions.
"
It can only be said that Lu Lingqi has done everything she can do as a guard and Yi Xiaotian's right-hand man.
Even in this situation, she still did not relax her vigilance - at this moment, her eyes were looking to the other side... Xiao Zhao, who was already a bit timid, was shocked by the domineering look in such a woman's eyes, which was extremely rare, and couldn't help but step back.
go.
In fact, Da Qiao is also entangled in her heart... It's not that she doesn't believe the gentleman Sun Shangxiang talks about, but... if possible, she doesn't want to implicate too many innocent people - Xiao Zhao is just a maid, and just seeing Sun Shangxiang today...
It was already too much to hold on to, let alone... not to mention that Lu Lingqi had to explain to them that this was probably going to be against the entire Jiangdong top management.
"Xiao Zhao..."
Da Qiao called softly.
It seems that she has been brewing a lot of excuses and is planning to send her away. In the future, she will try her best to keep Xiao Zhao away from right and wrong.
But... to everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhao overcame the fear in his heart and suddenly took a step forward——
Of course, she was still scared, and the tremors in her body betrayed her, but at least she was able to speak normally.
And what she said... made several women present laugh heartily after hearing it.
"Nv... Nvxia, Xiao Zhao won't tell anyone. Xiao Zhao is also worried about the eldest lady's marriage... This matter... In addition to Madam, there must be someone in the family to share the burden for her... Xiao Zhao... Xiao Zhao promises not to drag you down.
Legs, you can tell me anything Xiao Zhao can do, as long as it can help the eldest lady, it is enough to help you!"
Even though he knew he was about to face a difficult situation, Xiao Zhao still mustered up the courage to speak out what was in his heart.
In fact, there was something she didn't say frankly... Just now... When Lu Lingqi drew her sword in the courtyard just now, she had already fallen in love with Lu Lingqi - like Sun Shangxiang, although Xiao Zhao was a few years younger than Sun Shangxiang.
Years old, but under its influence, I also have a dream of being a hero and doing justice in my heart.
"So... so Xiao Zhao takes the liberty to ask, Heroine... you... are you really the ones doing justice for heaven?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was suppressing his blush, and although he had gathered up his courage, his whole body was trembling, Lu Lingqi would not be too hostile no matter how careful she was.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Lingqi smiled helplessly:
"Well... you can think of it this way. We run the Tavern Villa with my husband - although we are businessmen by profession, we will never turn a blind eye to the injustices in the world."
"In that case..."
Lu Lingqi nodded solemnly and immediately extended her right hand to Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao was startled by this sudden movement, mainly because he saw that the palms of Lu Lingqi's seemingly fair and slender palms were actually covered with rough calluses - compared to his own, which was tempered by working as a servant.
When her hands were still rough, she subconsciously flinched.
Of course, she was also a little confused as to what Lu Lingqi meant by extending her hand now.
Lu Lingqi explained with a smile:
"Shaking hands is a custom in our family. Once we shake hands, we are companions."
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Zhao was overjoyed, nodded excitedly, and hurriedly held Lu Lingqi's hand.
"Um!"
——
Later, Da Qiao finally made it clear to Lu Lingqi her belief in helping Sun Shangxiang.
Of course Sun Shangxiang was so moved that she burst into tears again, but what made Lu Lingqi feel strange was that... for some reason, she could always feel a kind of sadness in Da Qiao's eyes.
However... this is currently not within the scope of her consideration.
Immediately she told Da Qiao their next plan——
Especially the most critical part of this plan... she repeatedly refuted it and thought it was quite inappropriate and unsound.
Even Da Qiao, who was as calm as Da Qiao, was extremely surprised when he heard what Lu Lingqi said.
Not to mention Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao was simply stupid.
Da Qiao was silent for a long time, and then said with some resistance:
"Why... why did you choose me?"
"Aren't you afraid...Aren't you afraid that Zhongmou will recognize him at a glance...?"
Right...this is a normal person's reaction. Seeing Da Qiao so surprised, Lu Lingqi didn't feel surprised at all.
On the other hand, several members of the family - Mr. Sun and Sun Shangxiang were so in favor of such a plan... What on earth were they thinking?
"Don't be afraid! Sister, Ning'er and Ying'er are in the city now. You want them to help you dress up. I'm sure big brother won't be able to tell the difference - I know what you are worried about, sister...but...but..."
Sun Shangxiang gathered up his courage and finally told Da Qiao what he wanted to say most.
"But only in this way! Only in this way can we have a chance to escape Jiangdong together!"
"What... Silly girl! What are you talking about? Escape from Jiangdong... No... No... You... As long as you can leave Jiangdong, my sister will be satisfied... Do you want your sister? I will leave the Sun family alone, leave it... Leave your mother alone
, my father...and my sister, don't they care?"
Da Qiao talked a lot...but what Sun Shangxiang cared about the most was Da Qiao's hesitation in the middle——
She remembered Yi Xiaotian saying that if Da Qiao hesitated, it meant that Da Qiao definitely had a lot of grudges in his heart over the years - you can imagine what kind of torture Xiao Qiao also experienced...
As long as there are such signs, their plan will be a big step closer to success.
