Chapter 143 The toad wants to eat swan meat!
The residence that Tang Wenzhe arranged for Chang Xinshan was very close to Gu Lingyue and Long Shang's residence. After he arranged everything for Chang Xinshan, he left. Yun Shu took out a set of her own clothes to help Chang Xinshan wash up, and finally brought her food.
After eating, Chang Xinshan went to bed to rest.
During the time she was out, she didn't eat enough, didn't sleep well, and her nerves were tense. Once she relaxed, she fell into a coma, and Yun Shu stayed beside her quietly.
She was still sleeping when Gu Lingyue came in.
When Yun Shu saw her princess come in, she quickly stood up and called out softly, "Princess."
Gu Lingyue nodded, glanced at Chang Xinshan on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "How long have you slept?"
"I fell asleep as soon as I came back, washed up, and had dinner, and I've been asleep ever since." Yun Shu replied.
Gu Lingyue estimated that Chang Xinshan should be awake by now. Sure enough, as soon as she walked to the stool beside her and sat down, Chang Xinshan opened her eyes. When she saw Gu Lingyue there, she called out, "Fourth sister-in-law!"
Gu Lingyue smiled at her, "Wake up!"
"Ah."
Chang Xinshan sat up and only then felt a little embarrassed.
"Tell me, what happened? Why did you come to Youzhou?"
"I...that..." Chang Xinshan hesitated for a long time. Seeing that Gu Lingyue had been smiling and didn't say anything, she knew she had no choice but to say, "I ran away from home secretly."
Gu Lingyue: ...
How desperate is this girl? She could live a comfortable life in the capital, but has to come to Youzhou to suffer?
Yun Shu: ...
The Princess of Le'an was so bold that she actually ran out on her own. Fortunately, her princess recognized her. If she hadn't recognized her, the consequences would have been disastrous.
At this time, Chang Xinshan continued, "After what happened at the palace banquet that day, we returned home, and I heard my father and mother discussing that they were afraid the Queen would ask the Emperor for permission to marry Prince Xing, so they planned to find a match for me. Of course, I didn't want to, and I said I didn't want to find one yet, but my mother disagreed. It just so happened that that day, General Tang was leading his troops back to Youzhou, so I sneaked into the group..."
Chang Xinshan's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, but that didn't stop Gu Lingyue from hearing everything clearly.
Gu Lingyue knew that the soldiers her elder brother brought with him included not only the Tang family army, but also the former soldiers of Long Aochun from Yizhou. Those soldiers were all strangers, and it was impossible for her to get to know them all in such a short time. This gave Chang Xinshan an opportunity.
So, she glared at Chang Xinshan angrily and said, "Aren't you afraid that the princess will worry if you run away like this?"
Chang Xinshan quickly said, "I left a message for my mother."
At this moment, she had no idea that she had written a note, but her window was open and the note had been blown under the table by the wind. Chang Jinnuo and the others didn't see it at all.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue stopped talking about this matter and thought about asking Long Shang to send a message back to Princess Yizhen to tell her that Xinshan was with them.
"Since you are in the army, why are you being chased and poisoned?" Gu Lingyue asked.
When Chang Xinshan heard this, her almond-shaped eyes flashed with flames of anger.
"When I followed the army to Youzhou, the battle was over. An officer asked us to help carry the wounded, and we were busy until dark. At bedtime, many people slept in one tent, but as an unmarried woman, how could I sleep with them? I ran away secretly, thinking of looking for my fourth sister-in-law, but I didn't know where the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was. I was hungry, so I wanted to find a restaurant to eat and ask people for directions. It was already very late, not to mention that the restaurant was closed, and there were few pedestrians on the street. That's when I ran into that fat pig.
There was no choice but to ask him.
He said that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was far away, and his family lived there too, so he was willing to give me a ride.
I thought I was dressed as a man and he wouldn’t do anything, so I got on his carriage. But who knew he was a man of both sexes and took me straight to his yard…”
Speaking of this, Chang Xinshan gritted his teeth and wished he could find that man and chop him into pieces right now.
She knew she couldn't do anything to the other person by herself, so she said to Gu Lingyue coquettishly, "Fourth sister-in-law, do you have anyone with you? Give me two people, I want to go chop that fat pig into pieces!"
"Fat pig?"
"Yes, he's as fat as a pig, and he's still coveting this county lady! Bah, a toad wanting to eat swan flesh! He's simply fed up with life!"
If she hadn't been lucky enough to run into her fourth sister-in-law when she escaped, she might have been raped by him now.
Gu Lingyue's expression turned cold when she heard this.
"Do you know where that man lives?"
Chang Xinshan shook her head. It was her first time in Youzhou and she was not familiar with the place. She came in by carriage and ran forward in a hurry when she came out. She had no idea the exact location.
"However, he told me that his aunt was the wife of the governor. Moreover, not long after I ran out of that person's yard, I ran into my fourth sister-in-law. I think people around here know who he is. Even if they don't, I can just go find the governor here."
When Gu Lingyue heard this, she thought of her sister-in-law who was from the Governor's Mansion.
She frowned slightly. Although this matter was difficult to handle, if it was true as Xinshan said, that the man had a connection with the Governor's Mansion, she would not show mercy.
She looked at the weather outside. It was already late. If that person wanted to run away, he would have already run away. If he didn't want to run away, it wouldn't be too late to go tomorrow. So she said to Yun Shu, "Call Yun Jin tomorrow, and the two of you will accompany Xin Shan on the trip."
"Yes, I've made note of it." Yun Jin replied.
Gu Lingyue gave Chang Xinshan a few more instructions, telling her not to run around and to stay in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. She then asked someone to send her back before returning to her room.
At the same time in Tang Wenqing's yard.
Tang Wenqing didn't come back all night and slept in the study. Zhong Wanqian knew that her man was really angry.
In the end, she could only tell her sister to give up the idea of becoming Prince Jing's concubine, and sent someone to send her back to the governor's mansion.
Who knew that she sent someone to send her sister back in the morning, and in the afternoon her mother brought her sister to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion again, which made her very embarrassed.
"Mother, why don't you find a good family for Yier and let her be the mistress of a mansion in the future? Why does she have to marry the prince..." Zhong Wanqian frowned, and her weak voice was full of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Zhou glared at her and said, "How good is it to be from a good family? Can we have a royal palace?
Besides, Prince Jing is very favored by the Emperor. If the Emperor passes the throne to Prince Jing in the future, Yier will marry Prince Jing and become the future Empress. Then we will be royal relatives, and your father can also go to the capital to be an official.
You haven't conceived a child yet. If Wen Qing brings someone else into the mansion because of this, you still have your family to protect you."
Although her master is now the governor of Youzhou, the Tang family holds the military power and always has an advantage over her master. If her Yier can marry the prince, her master will have nothing to fear from the Tang family.
Zhong Wanqian's face looked a little ugly. This was what she feared most.
Although she felt that what her mother said made some sense, her husband was already angry last night. If she brought it up again, it would probably make her husband even more angry.
"Mom, please go back first. I will consider this matter." Zhong Wanqian frowned and declined.
Zhou also knew that this matter couldn't be pushed too hastily, so she said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Mother has something to ask you."
Zhong Wanyi was a little unhappy when she saw that her mother no longer talked about her. Then she thought of something and said to Zhou and Zhong Wanqian, "Mother, sister, you two can talk first. I left something in the room I live in this morning. I'll go get it and I'll be back soon."
"Go, go." Zhou felt that it would be better not to let her daughter Yier hear what she was going to say next. After all, her daughter Yier was not married yet.
Zhong Wanqian was a little confused. She remembered that she had asked someone to pack up her sister's things, so how could something be left behind?
However, she still nodded and had someone take Zhong Wanyi away.
