After sailing in the middle of the night, the boat arrived in Tanzhou at four o'clock in the morning.
After the boat docked, Wu Chengwei tied the ropes on the boat to the wooden piles.
Then, Wu Chengwei immediately shouted, "We've arrived! Let's get off the boat!"
As Wu Chengwei's words fell, people in the boat soon woke up one after another. Everyone rubbed their sleepy eyes and felt a little at a loss when looking at this person who was in the dark.
"What time is this? Is it too early to travel now?" someone asked.
No one answered the man's words. Everyone just looked in the direction behind them. It was obvious that everyone was waiting for the reaction of the person who could make the decision.
Zhu Yuewu had already come out of the boat canopy at this time. He looked at the little bright house and said, "Let's rest here for a while. We will set off again later."
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, everyone naturally responded loudly.
However, Shen Fanghui and Wu Chengwei did not want to go with Zhu Yuewu and the others, so Wu Chengwei only said, "Second Young Master, you see, my apprentice and I have been rowing all night. Can my apprentice and I find a place first?" Take a rest?"
Facing Wu Chengwei's words, Zhu Yuewu only nodded lightly.
"It's okay to sleep, but you must be back here and wait for me before five o'clock in the afternoon!"
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, although it was impossible for Wu Chengwei to do this, he still nodded in front of Zhu Yuewu, saying that he would definitely do it.
After receiving Zhu Yuewu's approval, Wu Chengwei immediately pulled Shen Fanghui away from here.
As for coming back, they might come back, but they definitely won't bring Zhu Yuewu and the others with them.
Then the two of them disappeared into the vast night in just a moment.
On the other side in the direction of Yunzhou, before dawn, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard on the street.
Zhu Zanxun was dressed in red clothes and a mysterious hat, and he looked like a famous scholar.
He was always sick and looked as weak as a willow supporting the wind.
But maybe today people are in high spirits on happy occasions. He is quite high-spirited as he rides on a tall horse. People are carrying things, and people are carrying sedans.
The scenery is beautiful and there is a large group of people.
The entrance of Zhu's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it extremely festive.
As the firecrackers sounded, Zhu Zanxun left Zhu's mansion on his tall horse.
Under the lights, there were onlookers clapping their hands, and people on the road were uncharacteristically handing out candies to the children.
The Zhu Mansion here is naturally extremely festive, but Zhuangzi in the western suburbs is now a mess.
"How could this happen? Didn't you stay on guard all night last night? How could Miss Lu not find anyone? Tell me what you did!"
In the room, a woman in her twenties wearing a pink skirt was angrily scolding a young girl in green who was kneeling at her feet.
The little girl looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. After being scolded by the woman, she did not dare to say a word. She just kept wiping the tears on her face.
She also tried to defend herself, "Auntie, I didn't do anything. I was just asleep. How could I know where Miss Lu went!"
The young woman who was called aunt just said, "Humph! Why did you sleep so hard! Let me tell you, if Miss Lu is really missing, you have to watch your skin carefully today!"
Upon hearing the woman's scolding, the little girl immediately cried louder.
However, the young woman obviously didn't like the sound, so after threatening the little girl, she immediately said, "Shut up."
After being scolded, the little girl naturally did not dare to cry loudly anymore. She just sobbed and choked.
At this time, the aunt obviously had no intention of paying attention to the little girl. She just stared blankly outside the house. She thought that if Miss Lu was really lost, then not only the little girl, but also herself and everyone in the yard would be afraid of being lost. Bad luck.
And in short
After a short wait, the boys who were sent out to search around the yard and the area not far outside the yard also hurried back.
The young aunt immediately asked the young man who went out to look for him, "How is it? Have you found him?"
However, facing the aunt's words, everyone shook their heads with the same expression.
"Auntie, we didn't find Miss Lu."
"Auntie, we've looked for it too!"
"There is no Miss Lu inside or outside, so where else can Miss Lu go?"
"She wasn't kidnapped, was she?"
When they saw it, everyone just shook their heads. Listening to everyone's chatter, the aunt fell directly to the ground.
"It's over! It's all over now!" My aunt muttered to herself, as if the whole world had collapsed.
Seeing the other party sitting on the ground, several other maids immediately helped him up.
However, my aunt, who had not yet sat on the chair after being helped up, suddenly seemed to realize something at this moment, and then she only glared fiercely at the girl kneeling on the ground.
"It's you! It's all you! Why can't you even look down on me! You can't find anyone now. When the young master comes, see if you can survive! You really want to kill all of us!"
Being accused by her aunt, the girl did not dare to argue. She just cried helplessly in a low voice.
After the aunt accused the girl in front of her, she immediately asked relentlessly, "You really don't know where Miss Lu has gone? Wasn't there any sound about her disappearance?"
Facing her aunt's questioning, the little girl who was still crying finally remembered something, so the little girl immediately said, "Sound! I remembered it. In the middle of the night today, I vaguely heard something. There was a sound, but Miss Lu said there was no sound at that time."
"The second time after that, I seemed to hear a man's voice again, but Miss Lu still told me to shut up! She said I heard it wrong. The third time I heard the voice, I went down to look. But I didn't know anyone. I didn’t see it, so I came back.”
After hearing what the other party said, the aunt became even more helpless. As soon as she heard these words, she knew that Shen Fanghui was tricking her. His absence today must be related to the situation at that time.
And since Shen Fanghui was protecting the other party, maybe she would still go with the man voluntarily.
So the two actually eloped.
When she thought of this, her aunt became desperate.
After all, she thought no man could tolerate his newlywed bride eloping with someone else.
Although they are not at fault, because they can't find each other, they will definitely become the ones to be vented on.
And the price must be that they die without a burial place.
She said angrily, "Okay! Stop talking! Do you know that your behavior today will really kill people like us!"
The little girl didn't know what to do, she just cried helplessly.
But the aunt couldn't control that much anymore. She just scolded the little girl loudly and scolded the guard at the same time.
The people she scolded didn't dare to say anything, but some couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do? I have to catch this girl and a few guards. If the young master pursues the case, we will take the blame on them first."
After hearing what their aunt said, everyone was still frowning, but they also understood that this was the best solution for now.
However, just when everyone was blaming, cursing, and criticizing each other, a person suddenly walked into the main room.
The woman was gray and her hair was meticulous, but her body was dirty. She just appeared at the door when everyone was helpless and said, "I have a way."
Seeing the embarrassed look of the woman who suddenly appeared, everyone obviously didn't take her words to heart.
Some people who knew the woman even said to her, "Su Yanqiu, stop being funny here and go back to light your fire. What can you do? What can you do?"
any solution. "
However, facing the cynicism of others, the woman still said firmly, "I do have a way!"
The aunt was also seriously ill and sought medical treatment at this time, although she didn't think there was anything unusual about this girl.
But what if.
It was also because of this kind of luck that my aunt finally said coldly, "What can you do? What can you do? Come and tell me."
After hearing what the other party said, Su Yanqiu walked into the hall. Then she whispered, "Auntie, I am willing to marry the young master in place of Miss Lu."
Upon hearing her words, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
The aunt put her hand on her forehead, waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, go back and burn your firewood."
She was really out of her mind to think that that girl could really help her.
However, in the face of her aunt's expulsion and the ridicule of everyone, the girl still did not change at all.
"Auntie, I'm serious. Just let me go, otherwise it will be too late and everyone will be dead!" the little girl said anxiously.
However, her aunt still waved her hand at her, "Don't make trouble, don't you see that everyone is annoyed?"
After hearing what your aunt said, someone taunted the little girl and said, "Yeah! Everyone is almost annoyed to death. You are still making fun here. Do you think the eldest young master can like you like this? What if he knew that we lied to him?" , we people are even worse off."
However, after hearing the man's words, Su Yanqiu said seriously, "Of course I know that the eldest young master doesn't like me, and I don't expect to be favored by the eldest young master. I just married to help everyone. After all, as long as I After getting on the sedan chair and entering the gate of the Zhu family, everything you say can only be based on my words. I only say that it is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with you. As long as you don’t jump out, this matter is yours. I was kept in the dark, and I used you to make an agreement with Miss Lu, letting her run away, and I took her place. In this way, even if he was dissatisfied with me and wanted to kill me! He would not come directly to find me. Your trouble. Won’t you resolve the crisis by then?”
