Looking at the tall city gate in front of her and the three characters Ying Tianfu on it, Shen Yunyao couldn't believe her eyes.
Did he really escape successfully and come to Yingtian Mansion?
After Shen Yunyao followed Miss Bai and escaped from Zhuangzi through the tunnel, she followed them to hide and escape.
Originally, she envied Miss Bai and even wanted to be like her.
But this escape made her realize that Miss Bai was not as beautiful as she thought.
After leaving Zhuangzi, Miss Bai found it difficult to speak.
Not only that, the two people who were with them also took care of Miss Bai all the way, and even continued to criticize and complain about many of her previous practices.
After a long time, Shen Yunyao gradually understood that Miss Bai was not as capable and powerful as she seemed on the surface. It was all because of the support behind her.
Yunchang is not her crony, but the person behind the scenes sent to watch over Miss Bai.
Now that Yunchang was arrested because of Miss Bai's insistence on going her own way, his two men naturally looked down upon Miss Bai in every possible way.
Fortunately, although I don't know who is behind it, the other party should still need Miss Bai now.
Therefore, although the two of them had resentments in their hearts, they could not continue to protect Miss Bai.
The blockade on the Huguang side was too tight. The group hid here and there, made twists and turns, and probably used a lot of hidden stakes buried in Huguang before they finally escaped capture and entered the Yingtian Mansion.
Shen Yunyao couldn't tell the direction at all. She only heard them say that they had reached the ground of Yingtian Mansion, but she still couldn't believe it.
It was only now that she was standing under the city gate and looking at the three characters Ying Tianfu on the city gate that she felt relieved.
The Shen family has no relatives or connections in Yingtian Mansion. It can be said that there is almost no need to worry about anyone recognizing her as Shen Yunyao, the second girl of Shen Mansion.
Shen Yunyao touched the chest holding the prescription.
She originally planned to find an opportunity to break away from Miss Bai and her group when she arrived at Yingtian Mansion and go her own way.
As long as you have this recipe in hand, you don't have to worry about your future life at all.
But along the way, she learned more and more information, which made her change her mind.
It's better to stay with Miss Bai first, figure out the matters related to the prescription, and then get some money before leaving.
"Xu Yao'er, why are you in a daze?
"We're in town, why don't you leave quickly!"
Shen Yunyao was staring at the city gate and thinking wildly when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She quickly calmed down and said, "Come on, come on!"
After entering the city, Shen Yunyao found that the two people responsible for arranging the route were obviously much more relaxed.
The shoulders that were always tense on weekdays also felt a little loose.
The tall man took a deep breath and said, "Hey, I'm finally back!"
The short man said: "Yes, we are back. I don't know how the boss is doing now, whether he is dead or alive..."
As soon as these words came out, the two people fell into silence. The previous relaxation was no longer there, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
If you are caught, you will be tortured so hard that you cannot bear it until you die, or you will be killed after confessing everything. What kind of good ending will there be?
The short man sighed again and said, "Master probably doesn't know about this yet. I don't even know how to speak."
The tall man's expression became more and more depressed as he spoke. He shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's settle the people down first."
After entering the city, the two men hired two carriages at the city gate and gave an address.
The carriage quickly took everyone to a rather quiet alley.
It was late autumn at this time, and the alley was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. At first glance, it looked like a thick carpet of golden hoof flowers.
The carriage ran over the fallen leaves and stopped in front of a dark door in the deepest part of the alley.
"We're here, get out of the car. We'll stay here for now." The tall man asked everyone to get out of the car.
The short man took out a bunch of keys from his waist and stepped forward to open the courtyard door.
Miss Bai obeys
After getting off the underground car and entering the door, Xu Yaoer followed a few steps behind her, calmly looking at the door and the yard as she walked in.
But the two men led them through several twists and turns, as if they were walking through a maze.
When she finally entered a courtyard, Shen Yunyao was already stunned.
This is a small courtyard with three entrances. The tall man said: "You allocate a room among yourselves, and then rest first after settling in. Everyone must be tired after being on the road for so long."
The short man said to Miss Bai, "We have to go to the master first. If there are any orders from the master, we will tell you in time."
"Okay!" Miss Bai nodded.
Shen Yunyao stood nearby, seemingly doing nothing. In fact, she had been observing the expressions of Miss Bai and the two people.
She noticed that when the short man mentioned the master, Miss Bai's expression shrank for a moment.
It seems that Miss Bai is quite afraid of that "master".
Shen Yunyao thought to herself that she didn't know who the other party was.
But just seeing that he has so many hidden stakes that can be mobilized in Huguang, and he can successfully protect Miss Bai and several others from escaping under layers of siege, he should not be an ordinary person.
After the tall man and the short man left, Miss Bai simply allocated the rooms.
During this escape, Miss Bai brought few people out, so even Shen Yunyao was assigned to a separate room.
She went back to her room and had a good sleep. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
There was no clock in the house, and Shen Yunyao didn't have a pocket watch, so she didn't know what time it was.
She felt her stomach growling, so she got up to light the oil lamp and go out to see if she could find something to eat.
But before she could touch the fire fold, she heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and a large number of footsteps coming from outside.
Shen Yunyao immediately gave up the idea of lighting a lamp, hunched over to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door.
The lights in the main room where Miss Bai was were were still on. She must have been waiting for someone to come over.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yunyao saw two familiar figures, one tall and one short.
At this time, the two people changed their usual arrogance in front of Miss Bai, hunched their bodies, and led the way at a trot.
Then Shen Yunyao moved her eyes back, wanting to see who they were in such awe of.
But she never expected that the person who caught her eyes would be a woman.
Although the hat covered the side of her face, her face could not be seen from Shen Yunyao's angle.
But judging from her body shape and the way she walked, Shen Yunyao was sure that this person must come from a wealthy family.
Not to mention the preciousness of her clothes and the dozen or so people following her.
The woman walked to the door of the main room and stopped. The tall man and the short man had already stepped forward to help her open the door.
"You all wait outside!" the woman said, taking off her hat, untying the tie on her chest, leaving her cloak outside, and entered the house wearing a moon-white coat and skirt.
Shen Yunyao took a surprised look and finally saw the woman's profile. She was indeed a beauty, but she must be a little older.
But thinking about it, how could a person who could control Miss Bai so well and arrange so many things be an inexperienced little girl?
Inside the house, Miss Bai was already waiting at the door.
When the woman entered the room, she walked to the main seat and sat down with dignity.
Miss Bai took a few steps forward, knelt in front of the woman, kowtowed and said, "Mrs. Yun..."
Before she could finish her words, a woman threw tea in her face.
"Ah——" Miss Bai exclaimed in surprise.
That was the tea she had just made for Mrs. Yun. Although it was not boiling hot, it was still a little hot.
Tea was poured all over her face, with tea leaves still hanging on her hair and face, and her cheeks were burned red, making her look as embarrassed as she wanted.
"I have
Didn't Yunchang tell you not to touch Lady Tong? "Mrs. Yun's voice was shockingly cold.
Miss Bai couldn't help but shudder.
Although the tea is scalding, the late autumn in Yingtian Mansion is even colder than in Wuchang Mansion.
The tea poured on her body quickly became cold, and then there was a constant chill.
Miss Bai lowered her eyes and said, "Mrs. Yun, Yunchang reminded me, but..."
"I don't want to hear what you say but!" Mrs. Yun interrupted Miss Bai again, "I've told you a long time ago that when I do things, I only look at the results and don't ask about the process.
"If you disobey orders and get good results in the end, then not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you well.
"But if this is the result of your disobedience, abandoning the base camp that you finally picked up, losing so many people, and even Yunchang was folded in, then you come back to me and tell me what your original plan was?
"Do you think I want to hear it? Do I like it? Should I waste my time listening to you talk nonsense?"
"Mrs. Yun, it's all my fault, but my prescription is really just the last bit away from being perfect. When the time comes..."
"Okay, you've said these things eight hundred times, and I'm tired of you not being bothered."
Mrs. Yun's tone was very impatient, but she moved her body as if she wanted to have a long conversation.
Miss Bai's heart tightened, thinking that it would not be easy to fool her this time, and she didn't know how Mrs. Yun would punish her.
Although Miss Bai has never been punished by Mrs. Yun before, she has seen maids who made mistakes and were tortured into disgrace.
She felt uneasy, wondering if Mrs. Yun was really disappointed with her this time and what methods she would use to punish herself.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yun opened her mouth and asked, "Since you have already come into contact with Mrs. Tong, then tell me about it."
Miss Bai had just been thinking about what kind of punishment she would receive. Suddenly when she heard this question, she was stunned. She looked up at Mrs. Yun stupidly, and she was a little doubtful whether her ears were listening. wrong.
Mrs. Yun's face sank when she saw this, and she asked, "Why, you've made such a big fuss, haven't you ever had contact with Madam Tong?"
"Yes, yes!" Miss Bai said hurriedly, "But if you want to ask my subordinates about their deepest impression of Lady Tong, you have to mention Prince Rui."
