The carriage stopped by the roadside, and the guard dismounted and waited.
When Zhao Mingjing saw the carriage stopped, he opened the curtain and took a look: "What's wrong?"
The guard acting as a coachman replied: "When we were leaving the city, we followed a little tail. Madam asked someone to stop the car and get rid of him first."
Zhao Mingjing was slightly surprised: "What tail?"
The guard said: "The Qinglian girl from before came out in a carriage."
Zhao Mingjing was also surprised: "Why did she follow him out?"
This thing is really strange.
The guards also felt strange, but there were many strange things in the world, so they didn't take it to heart as long as they figured out the other party's purpose.
When the carriage stopped, Su Wan opened the curtain and sat on a small stool, waiting for the carriage to catch up. Xiao Sang poured her some warm water and asked her to drink some.
After a while, the carriage followed. The carriage was an ordinary carriage. The color of the curtains was stained by the sun and rain, and was a little white, but it was neatly tidied.
When the other party saw that the carriage stopped here, he also stopped on the road, and a pair of slender hands stretched out from the back carriage to lift the curtain and get out of the carriage. It was Qinglian.
In the past, the Qinglian girl was cool and elegant, with a clean look, but now she looked a bit embarrassed. Her face was bruised and red, and the corners of her mouth were a little red. She didn't know where it was pulled when she walked around, and she took a breath of cold air. .
It was obvious that he had been beaten badly yesterday.
"I've met Mrs. Li."
Su Wan sat on the carriage and looked at her condescendingly, with a calm expression: "Girl, why are you following us all the time?"
Qinglian moved and was about to say something, but she heard her say again: "If it were someone else following us, we would have dealt with it long ago. However, it is not easy to think of you as a woman, so I will talk to you about the truth now, don't worry about it again." Following us.”
"Mrs. Li." Qinglian hurriedly explained, "Qinglian didn't mean anything else. She just heard that Mrs. Li was going to Endless City, so she wanted to go with her and ask her to take her in."
Qinglian actually went to avoid disaster. In the past, she was the Lotus Girl, and she was protected by others. Others did not dare to touch her. At most, they would just curse and say a few sarcastic words. However, the Lotus Girl was changed yesterday. When she left Then he was blocked and beaten.
Later, when she returned to the yard where she lived, she found that the yard had also been smashed and looted. Many valuable things had been taken away. The only thing left was some money that she had hidden deep.
There were many people lining up to beat her and smash up her house.
She originally wanted to find those young masters to help her. She first went to see Mr. Hong and Mr. Shui, but she was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. It was really annoying and she was kicked out. Then she went to find the next young master. These are all under the control of the family, and they can't even see her, let alone help her.
She really couldn't survive in the city, so she decided to go somewhere else to avoid the limelight for the time being. But it was not easy to go somewhere else. This road was not safe. She was a woman who was traveling alone. No reply.
At this time, she heard that Mrs. Li, who had squandered three thousand taels in the lotus picking competition, was going to Endless City, so she wondered if she could go with her. After all, such a noble lady would definitely not have to bring a bodyguard with her when she went out. Less, and safety is guaranteed.
It's just that when she came to the door today, she was kicked out without seeing anyone. Fortunately, she was smart and asked people to drive the carriage to follow her. As long as she kept following, if something happened, she didn't believe that the other party could ignore it.
However, she didn't expect that Mrs. Li was so good-looking. She was fair and beautiful, bright and graceful, making people unable to take their eyes away. At a glance, she knew she was a noble person.
I don’t know where she is from.
"No, if you want to go to Endless City, just go by yourself. I have no control over it. If you just ask me to take you there, it will definitely not work." Su Wan refused lightly, "Those of me, the guards, are all You followed me for my own safety, but you can no longer distract yourself from protecting others."
When Su Wan heard what she said, he understood what Qinglian had in mind. She just wanted to rub off on her escort team, and without having to do anything, she could get the protection of these people, and she didn't have to worry about her safety along the way.
It's really a beautiful idea.
If an ordinary little girl really had no choice but to refuse, she wouldn't refuse, but people like Qinglian have a lot of troubles and are particularly hateful, and she doesn't like them either.
Qinglian pursed her lips: "I heard that Mrs. Li is a kind-hearted person, but now it seems that is not the case. I am a weak woman, and my wife will not help me."
"Kind-hearted?" Su Wan smiled, "I'm afraid the girl is wrong. I'm not really a kind-hearted person, but I am very willful and willful. I can do whatever I want on weekdays. It all depends on my mood. Maybe the future He will look at you with a smile, but then he will turn against you and kick you down ruthlessly."
"I thought Miss Qinglian only believed in herself and only cared about herself, so she would put her trust in the kindness of others?"
People like Qinglian are the most selfish and ruthless. How can they believe in the kindness of others?
Qinglian paused, but she had heard others scold her so much that she didn't mind what others said about her, and her expression didn't even change.
Su Wan said: "I advise the girl to go back to the city. If you want to go to other towns, just ask the escort to escort you. After a while, the carriage will go up the official road and go faster, and you will be able to leave this girl behind. By then Even if my heart is really kind, we are far apart and we don’t know what happened.”
"Girls should know that the last thing a person should do is to entrust his life to the conscience of others and take chances."
"Go back. It's not far from the city and there's no danger. It would be dangerous if it were further away."
After Su Wan said this, he didn't say anything more to her. He got up and lifted the curtain and entered the carriage: "Let's continue on the road."
After she sat down, the carriage began to move forward again. Qinglian stood still and watched the carriage pass by. The guards on the side followed on horseback, protecting the carriage back and forth. She tightened her grip. The corners of his mouth curled up, but he felt very unwilling in his heart.
Why can other people live such a good life? They are born into a noble family, marry into a noble family, and are escorted by carriages when they go out. But she, after a lot of effort, lives a better life. Once she falls from a height, she is like a rat crossing the street. People shouted for beating.
She just wants to live a good life, what's wrong with that?
It's just that these people don't like her and can't tolerate her.
The driver sat on the carriage and watched Qinglian staring in that direction. The carriage had disappeared around the corner, and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
He waited for a while and became impatient: "Girl, are you going to Endless City or back to the city? If you go back to the city, the money you gave me before will not be refunded."
Qinglian gritted her teeth, but she still cherished her life and did not dare to follow him: "Go back to the city."
