Chapter 15
Xuan Yuan, you are ruthless!
Su Ning bit the quilt in anger.
How can life be so difficult!
Is it really possible to escape?
Su Ning’s eyes lit up, and she came up with another plan.
“Xiao Hong, Xiao Lu, come in.”
“Madam, is there something you need?”
“I’m alone in the room, and it’s dark. I’m a little scared!”
“Madam, do you want the lamp to be lit?”
“I don’t need the lamp to be lit. I can’t sleep when it’s on.” Su Ning patted the bed, “You come up and sleep with me!”
“These slaves will never dare!” Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu were terrified. “These slaves will lay on the ground, guarding the madam. Sleep at ease, ma’am.”
“Then, in that case, take off your coats and go to bed. The weather is so hot; it would be stuffy to sleep wearing them.”
“As you wish.”
After a while, when Su Ning heard their steady breathing, she silently extended her hand, picked up Xiao Lu’s clothes from the ground, shrank into the bed, and secretly changed.
She took a pillow cloth and put it around her neck, concealing half of her face. She then untied her hair bun and knotted it into two balls. She raised the quilt, moved carefully to the door, pushed it open, stepped out, and softly closed the door.
Bowing her head and shrinking her neck, Su Ning walked towards the courtyard gate.
“Where are you going?”
A cold male voice sounded from above her head. Her little heart was pounding, and she said in a low voice: “It’s a little bit cold at night, so Madam wants to drink hot tea. This servant is going to the kitchen to make tea for her.”
The voice no longer sounded, and Su Ning began to walk out. Seeing that no one stopped her, she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
【444: Turn left, then another left, to the end of the road, turn right, then another right. Wait, there are guards at the gate!】
The two guards with weapons who were guarding the gate seemed drowsy, continuing to breathe, indicating they were half-asleep.
When he saw the maid’s clothes on Su Ning’s body, he rubbed his eyes and questioned her.
Su Ning took out a jade pendant, handed it to them, and said: “This is a person of high rank’s jade pendant. The Madam told me to invite a doctor back. She is feeling uncomfortable.”
The two guards looked at each other, afraid that Su Ning’s time would be delayed, so they hurriedly sent her off.
Su Ning ran in small steps, turned a corner, and disappeared.
“Quickly, 444! They will find out that I’ve escaped soon. Quickly find a place where I can rent a carriage. I’m going out of town now!”
Su Ning untied the two buns on her head, let her hair down, tied a knot with a silk scarf at the end of her hair, removed the palace maid’s clothing that was over hers, and threw the palace maid’s clothes into a random courtyard.
“Actually, 444, just point me in the direction of people, and I’ll slip in.”
Su Ning went in the direction pointed by 444 and ran to a lakeside painting boat where there were lanterns and colorful lights, and it was crowded with people.
“This is definitely a fireworks venue!”
【444: Wow, master, you’re so smart. I only found out after reading the system map.】
“Haha, this is a tiny matter.” Su Ning walked to a stall selling rouge gouache, with a powder box in one hand, as if she could not decide which one to buy.
【Su Ning: There are a lot of vendors here. It is a large-scale trading center. There will definitely be carriages that go out of the city to pull goods. Check out where I can rent a horse-drawn carriage out of the city…】
【444: System searching: 500 meters from here, Chao Lai Inn can provide carriage rental service.】
Su Ning put down the rouge in her hand and lowered her head just as she was about to leave…
“Girl, wait.”
Su Ning heard him, but she didn’t stop. Who knows which girl he was calling in this crowded place?
“The girl in the silk dress, please wait.”
Su Ning didn’t care at all; her footsteps were getting faster and faster. No, my disguise should not be seen so quickly.
The man directly stood in front of her and handed her two boxes of rouge, “Girl, for you.”
To avoid this person pestering her, Su Ning didn’t lift her head, and stretched out her hand to take the rouge, said ‘thank you’, and wanted to bypass him and leave.
But she was grabbed by his hand.
“Girl, stop.”
After being stopped several times, Su Ning became angry, looked up, and rebuked: “You let me go!”
Su Ning was stunned when she saw the man’s face.
Xuan Yuan?!! No, no, they just look similar; he should just be Xuan Yuan’s brother!
While Su Ning was stunned, he took her directly into a side alley.
The lights outside the alley were brightly lit, and people came and went, but the alley was dark.
“You, you…what are you doing?!” Su Ning leaned back against the wall, experiencing the kabedon of an ancient handsome guy for the first time.
“Girl, don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you.” As he spoke, he got closer and closer.
“Then don’t lean so close to me…” Su Ning bent down, trying to run out under his arm, but was pulled back by one of his hands.
“Girl, there is a rule in Heting Yanliu Street.” Half of the man’s face was covered in darkness, and Su Ning could only see the corner of his mouth curling up slightly, “You must spend one night with a man if you accept gifts from him.”
“Then I will return the things to you!” Su Ning handed the two boxes of rouge back to him, but he didn’t reach out to take them.
The man shook his head and chuckled: “Girl, this is not a matter you can back out on…”
“I’m not from here, so I don’t have to abide by the rules!” Su Ning thought calmly; with so many people outside, he shouldn’t do anything weird. “If you don’t let me go, I’ll scream and call everyone over!”
“Scream, go scream! No one will come to your rescue if you break your throat!”
This line sounds so familiar!
The man lifted her chin to him, his burning gaze fixed on her face.
“You’re so beautiful, why are you so beautiful…”
“Come home with me, be my princess.”
