"Miss, if you don't help me, it's the same as sending me to my death. If you leave, I can only smash my head against the pillar outside. Even if I die, everything will be over. I won't have to worry about this anymore and I won't have to raise money for my daughter's medical fees.
As long as I die, all my worries will be gone. "
Hongniang wept as if she was ready to die. The green-clothed woman saw the situation and quickly knelt on the ground. She cried and begged, "Miss, please help us. I beg you, if you don't help us, we will really die. As servants, our deaths are not to be regretted, but our Miss is a good person. She has never done anything evil. In the past, I was almost sold to a brothel, but Miss saved me. I will never be able to repay her kindness in this lifetime.
If we don't have money, Miss will have no money to treat her illness. I can only sell myself to a brothel to change Miss's medicine. " The other purple-clothed woman also knelt on the ground and said, "Me too. If Miss doesn't help, I will also sell myself to a brothel with Sister Jing 'er. No matter what happens, I can't just watch as the Jadeite Music Pavilion disappears.
Miss, please help us. You are the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so you must help us. I beg you. "
Finished speaking, she repeatedly kowtowed on the ground. Ji Yunshu had always been soft-hearted. When she saw the situation in front of her, she was at her wit's end. However, her rationality told her that she absolutely couldn't agree. It wasn't easy for her to find Jing Rong. If something else happened because of this matter, what would she do? The most important thing for her now was to get out of the city and return to the bamboo hut. Otherwise, they would be worried sick. Perhaps Ah Yi had already told Su Ziluo that they were looking for her all over the city. If things got out of hand, who would know?
If this matter was blown out of proportion, who knew what would happen?
Moreover, it was simply absurd for him to impersonate someone else!
It was even more ridiculous!
She didn't know what was going on in that Hongniang's head.
However, from her point of view, it seemed that there was nothing she could do about it. When a person was forced into a desperate situation, they would do anything.
Hong Niang said with tears in her eyes, "Miss, I really don't want to make things difficult for you. You don't need to promise me now. You should think about it carefully. If you really don't want to promise me, I … I won't make things difficult for you."
"…"
"It's getting late, and it's not convenient for you to leave the city. Why don't you stay here tonight? If you really don't want to help me tomorrow morning, I'll have someone send you away. I, the matchmaker, am a woman of my word."
"Fine!" Ji Yunshu had already made the biggest concession.
After Hong Niang and the other two women left, several people whispered something to each other outside. After Hong Niang left, the two women didn't leave. They stood guard in the courtyard, seemingly afraid that Ji Yunshu would sneak away.
He intended to keep a close eye on it!
Ji Yunshu closed the door. She was shocked by the sudden turn of events.
She wondered if Jing Rong was looking for her.
She wondered if Jing Rong was worried after she disappeared.
Thinking of this, she felt that being brought here was a good thing. She could test Jing Rong's sincerity.
…
At dusk, the sun shone down and dyed half the sky red. It was a rare sight in this rainy November.
Su Mansion
Su Ziluo sat in his wheelchair with a dignified expression. Anxiety and worry could be seen on his face.
After Ji Yunshu was taken away, Ah Yi was knocked unconscious. Fortunately, the other party didn't hit her too hard and she quickly regained consciousness. She immediately returned to the city to report. Su Ziluo also sent people to search inside and outside the city, but there was still no news.
Qi 'er had never seen her master so nervous before.
Although she didn't know Su Ziluo and Ji Yunshu's past, she knew that Miss Ji was the most important person in her master's heart.
"Young Master, don't worry too much. Miss Ji is a virtuous person. She will be fine. "Qi 'er could only comfort him.
Su Ziluo gazed into the distance. After a long time, he asked, "Is there any news?"
"Not yet. We've increased the search."
"What about Li Chuan?"
"I don't know. Ah Yi said that he left yesterday morning. I don't know where he went."
Either he didn't disappear, or both of them disappeared together!
Su Ziluo became increasingly anxious. No news meant bad news. He didn't know where Ji Yunshu was now.
Was she safe?
Qi 'er wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she said, "Could it be … that the Wen family found out Miss Ji's whereabouts and took her away?"
Su Ziluo shook his head. "Impossible."
"Why?"
"The Wen family wouldn't do such a thing." Su Ziluo understood them very well, especially Wen Che. If Wen Che knew that Ji Yunshu was in the bamboo house, he would first confirm that she was safe there. Secondly, he would respect her wishes. If Ji Yunshu didn't want to go with him, he wouldn't force her.
Naturally, he wouldn't do such a despicable thing.
Qi 'er had no clue.
If Li Chuan was here, she might have a way to find him. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found.
The only thing she could do now was wait!
… …
On the other side.
The news from the palace had reached the Qiu mansion. After Qiu Shu returned from Fengya Pavilion, she drank several bowls of cold dispelling soup. Stoves were set up everywhere in the room, and her body gradually recovered. When she heard that her elder sister didn't want her to participate in the Courtesan Competition, she was stunned for a long time.
She threw off her bed and questioned the eunuch, Xiaoshunzi, who came to deliver the message.
"What did you say? Elder sister doesn't want me to participate? Why? It's fine if she doesn't want to help me, but why is she interfering? "She was furious.
Xiaoshunzi was responsible for delivering the message, so he honestly said, "This servant doesn't know. Her Ladyship said that if you have any questions or questions, you can go to the palace to see her."
"So you're saying that elder sister is determined not to let me participate?"
"… Yes!"
How could that be?
It was precisely because her own elder sister didn't want to help that she humbly begged Zhu Yao for help. If she didn't participate, then what was the point of her begging?
But after thinking about it, she seemed to understand. She asked, "Could it be … that elder sister heard something?"
What happened at Fengya Pavilion today had already spread throughout Yan Jing city. It must have already reached the empress' ears.
Xiaoshunzi lowered his head and replied, "Her Ladyship already knows about what happened at Fengya Pavilion today. However, she didn't say anything."
"Just because of this, she doesn't want me to participate?"
"How could this servant dare to guess master's intentions? You should go to the palace and ask Her Ladyship. This servant really doesn't know anything. "Xiaoshunzi was a tight-lipped person, so he naturally wouldn't answer or say anything carelessly.
In any case, he would just follow the empress' instructions.
Qiu Shu's body couldn't take it anymore. How could she have the energy to go to the palace to find her elder sister? But in order to understand the situation, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go with you to the palace."
The maidservant beside her didn't dare to persuade her anymore!
She was still afraid that she hadn't been beaten enough!
She only silently hurried to prepare the carriage.
Qiu Shu boarded the carriage and went straight to the palace.
When she reached the palace gates, she felt her whole body go weak after taking a few steps. Fortunately, Qiu Quer had already instructed her to ride into the palace.
After a while, they arrived at the rear palace.
A few palace maids helped her to sit in the main hall and prepared some medicine to warm her stomach. They even started a few heaters to warm her cold body.
"Where's the empress?" Qiu Shu asked.
The palace maid replied, "Her Ladyship is resting. Someone has already gone to report."
"En."
Who dared to rush the empress?
Of course, they could only wait by the side.
Qiu Quer only came over when the sky started to darken.
When she saw her, Qiu Shu immediately 'slipped' over like a wriggling loach. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Elder sister, why didn't you let me participate in the Courtesan Competition?"
Qiu Quer had always been strict. She waved her hand to dismiss the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall, leaving only Wei Lan to serve her.
"Elder sister?"
"You little girl, you've caused such trouble this time, and you still want to ask me why?"
"How did I cause trouble? It's obvious that he was bullied. "
