During the night, there were several times when the maids gave things away, but Xiao Tao picked them up.
Those maids thought that Xiao Tao wanted to show off in front of their mistress, so they didn't care and left all their leisure to Xiao Tao.
If it had been called before, they would naturally have refused to hand it over to Xiao Tao.
They will cherish every opportunity to show their face in front of the mistress and young lady.
But now, the mistress and the young lady are unable to protect themselves, and they are not as dedicated in serving as before.
Even they themselves know that they may not be able to serve for long.
On the second day, until breakfast time, no one in the Wu Mansion found anything.
Yang, Wu Meiniang, Wu Youniang, mother and daughter, have quietly left the Wu Mansion.
It was not until after the meal that Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were preparing to capture the mother and daughter and send them to Lu Yongde that they discovered that the mother and daughter had already escaped from the Wu Mansion.
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were furious and immediately ordered people to arrest all the maids serving them.
Then, some of these maids quickly identified Xiao Tao.
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, while ordering people to torture Xiao Tao, also sent people to arrest Wu Meiniang and other mother and daughter.
The maid Xiao Tao couldn't bear the torture and finally committed suicide by biting her tongue.
…
Next, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang immediately sent a large number of manpower to search Yang, Wu Meiniang and other three women throughout the city.
The three daughters, Yang, Wu Meiniang, and Wu Youniang, fled out of the city overnight after escaping from the Wu Mansion.
However, the three weak women, especially Wu Youniang, who was only seven years old, could not walk very fast.
Moreover, there were soldiers patrolling the streets at night. Once caught, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Fortunately, those swift soldiers were extremely slack now and just walked around casually without noticing their presence.
However, because of this reason, they could not move fast at all along the way.
Until daybreak, they had not reached the city gate.
After dawn, pedestrians gradually began to appear on the street.
The three of them, mother and daughter, were hungry, thirsty and tired.
But when they ran away, they were not prepared to be entangled.
Therefore, they could only look at the stalls selling various snacks on the street and drool all the time.
They could only endure hunger and insist on leaving the city.
However, not long after they left the city, they suddenly saw a group of people coming to the city gate.
Then, the inspection at the city gate immediately became strict.
The three of them, mother and daughter, immediately realized that their escape must have been exposed. Brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang sent people to chase them out.
I guess they didn't expect that they had actually escaped from the city, but I'm afraid it won't be long before they chase them out.
And with just these three weak women, it was impossible for them to escape far.
Once they are chased out, what awaits them is that they will be sent to the Lu family.
It may even be even more miserable.
But what better way can these three weak women do in the face of this situation?
Faced with this desperate situation, Yang couldn't help but sob in despair.
Wu Meiniang said: "Mother, the situation is not desperate yet. They are searching the city and have not noticed us yet. So, we still have time to escape."
Yang said sadly: "But they will soon realize, how far can they escape during this period? In the end, they still can't escape their vicious hands. I am really sorry that I can't protect you."
Sir, woo hoo!"
Wu Meiniang said calmly: "Mother, actually we still have a chance. They don't know us. What they are looking for is three women, one mother, two daughters. As for us, as long as we are not three women, they will not be able to find us.
Come to us."
Yang said helplessly: "But we are just three women, what can we do?"
Wu Meiniang said: "Mother, the clothes we are wearing can no longer be worn. Let's find some clothes to change into. My mother and I will dress up as boys. At that time, we will become a mother, carrying
Two boys, they must not have thought of it."
Hearing Wu Meiniang's plan, Yang's eyes couldn't help but light up.
But soon, his eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help but said: "But, where can we get the clothes to change?"
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but point to several houses on the roadside and said: "Look, mother, there are clothes hanging to dry outside their house, and there are two sets of boys' clothes, just for me and my young mother to wear. And mother, you can wear whatever you want."
My wife’s clothes.”
Yang said in embarrassment: "But those are other people's clothes, how can we steal them?"
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but said: "Mother, those who do great things do not stick to trivial matters, and those who do great things do not hesitate to make small concessions. Now our lives are about to be at risk, how can we care about these things?"
Yang finally nodded and agreed.
Wu Meiniang, on the other hand, quickly walked over, pulled off three sets of clothes, took her mother and sister, hid in a corner, and changed into Shunlai's clothes.
As for the clothes they were originally wearing, they were hastily buried.
It turns out that there is a pier leading to the canal outside the city.
Along the way, there lived various dock workers and boatmen.
This road is still very lively.
The solution Wu Meiniang came up with was to try her best to get on the ship and go to Yizhou to find Li Min, the king of Shu.
As the saying goes, when a person leaves, the tea cools down, and when a person dies, the light goes out.
Wu Meiniang, her father's best friend during his lifetime, could not guarantee that there would be anyone else who could be reliable and protect their weak sister, Frost Mother.
After thinking about it, only Li Min, the king of Shu, has this ability and the responsibility to protect them.
This method is actually not a foolproof solution.
Because they are penniless, they may not be able to get on the ship.
Others may not be willing to take them in as persons of dubious status and work on the ship.
But for them now, this is their only way out.
At this time, Wu Meiniang and Wu Youniang were dressed as two boys.
Wu Meiniang had her hair tied up and dressed like a boy. She immediately lost her charm and looked extraordinarily heroic.
Yang, on the other hand, smeared some mud on her face and wore the clothes of a country woman, suddenly looking much older.
It looks like a mother and son in the countryside.
Just as the three of them, mother and daughter, were rushing to the ferry, suddenly a group of people chased them on horseback from behind.
"People in front, stop!"
Upon hearing this call, the mother and daughter's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
Yang's instinct was to run away.
Fortunately, Wu Meiniang caught her at the critical moment.
The pursuers behind them were all strong men riding fine horses. How could these weak women escape?
Therefore, Wu Meiniang, mother and daughter stopped, turned around, and waited nervously for the group of pursuers behind them to arrive.
