Mrs. Shen sighed: "You will eventually compete with Xiaoli, but, Xiaorou, you have to know that neither you nor she have to be tied together."
"Hmph, don't be hypocritical. Haven't you been comparing the two of us? Now aren't you regretting not keeping Gu Li? Let me tell you, even if you kept Gu Li, I'm afraid she would I won't." Shen Rou snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Mrs. Shen was very calm. She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Maybe you are not wrong. I am selfish and stupid. Otherwise, I would not have raised other people's daughters for more than ten years in vain. If I were not so stupid, I would I will definitely not drive Gu Li away, I should let her stay and use what she learned in my general's mansion to pave the way for my biological daughter."
Shen Rou seemed a little surprised that Mrs. Shen would think so, but her expression quickly calmed down and she mocked: "If that's the case, then what are you doing now? Why don't you go find Gu Li, that bitch?" People? Go find her and ask her to marry Prince Jade on my behalf."
When Mrs. Shen heard her daughter's words, the despair on her face was clearly visible, but she looked blankly at Shen Rou, who looked crazy, and shook her head slightly after a while: "No, I can't help it. Gu Li has grown up, and Gu Chen has not Will let me control her..."
Hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Shen Rou's face showed an expression of "Since you can't do it, don't be hypocritical." However, Mrs. Shen gestured to the door, and the maid walked in from the door, holding her hand. There was a bundle in his hand, and at Mrs. Shen's signal, he gave the bundle to Shen Rou.
Mrs. Shen's voice was extremely firm and she spoke very quickly: "There are one thousand taels of silver notes in here, as well as some clothes and jewelry. There is a carriage waiting at the back door. The coachman is mine and he will take you to a safe place. Now put on Qiaoer's clothes and run away for your life!"
Shen Rou looked at Mrs. Shen in disbelief. After a long while, she said calmly: "How could you? If you let me go, you would be disobeying the emperor's decree and you would be beheaded by the emperor. How could you..."
"As you said, I am selfish and stupid. Because I am selfish, I would rather lose the entire general's palace than let my daughter be wronged. And because I am stupid, I can only think of this way to hurt myself. When you leave, the day before we get married, I will go to the palace to apologize. By then, you should have run far away." Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Rou, her face was calm, but deep in her eyes was surging reluctance. Endless worries, "Xiaorou, from now on, the mountains and rivers will grow, so just pretend that you have no mother."
Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong. No matter how selfish a person is, their love for their children is selfless and great. This greatness finally made Shen Rou feel a little moved. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she finally felt helpless. He threw himself into Mrs. Shen's arms with scruples: "Mother! Mother! I don't want you to die."
Shen Rou did have some sincerity at this time, because she knew that if Mrs. Shen died, in the future, maybe no one would risk their own life to gain a future for her.
"Let's go, let's go, don't come back again." Mrs. Shen reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, reached out to touch Shen Rou's head for the last time, and said lovingly, "Go south, keep going. If you can cross the border, Just cross the border, and that’s when it’s safest.”
"Mom, you come with me, let's go together." Shen Rou suddenly pulled up Mrs. Shen and started to leave.
Mrs. Shen's eyes seemed to be moving, but she slowly shook her head: "No, Xiaorou, I'm very happy that you can say this, but mother can't leave. Someone has to take the blame, and I still have to stay at home. , if I am here, no one will suspect that you have gone away. If I leave too, if nothing else, Shen Yuehai will be the first to realize that something is wrong. If he is caught again and wants to leave again, it will not be so easy. ”
"We can run as far as we can. Father doesn't know where we are." Shen Rou loosened her grip on Mrs. Shen's hand, but soon tightened it again.
But Mrs. Shen shook her head and urged: "Let's go quickly. The longer you walk, the more likely you are to escape. Don't hesitate any more. Qiao'er, send the lady away."
"No, mother! Mother!" Qiao'er was also smart. He pulled Shen Rou and walked towards the back door. Shen Rou cried and shouted, but she also knew that Mrs. Shen couldn't go with her, so she had to leave half-pushed and half on the spot. .
Mrs. Shen looked at the empty room. Suddenly her body softened and she fell to the ground. She couldn't hold it back any longer, and tears fell heavily.
A carriage was speeding along the quiet road. The sun had already set in the west and the carriage was running very fast. In the carriage, the tears on the face of the delicate and beautiful young lady had not yet dried. Shen Rou wiped the tears on her face vigorously. Suddenly he opened the curtain and said to the coachman: "Excuse me, can you take me to Qingniu Village?"
"Miss, Qingniu Village is on a different route than ours. Do you want to go too? It may delay your trip." The driver hesitated.
"No matter what, you have to go, don't let me order you." Shen Rou heard the meaning of the coachman's words, her face darkened, and her voice became cold. After this incident, the weak girl finally learned to be vicious and cold-blooded , because from now on, she has to protect herself.
"Yes, yes, yes." The driver quickly agreed, turned the horse's head, and drove in the direction of Qingniu Village.
In order to deceive others, the carriage that Mrs. Shen arranged for Shen Rou to ride in was of excellent quality, but its decoration was extremely simple. Therefore, when she arrived at the entrance of Qingniu Village, she did not attract many people's attention. She just thought it was a passing merchant. .
At this time, Xiaomeng was standing at the entrance of the village with a look of anticipation. Because today Gu Li said that he wanted to celebrate the success of his eldest brother in purchasing a new home in Qianjing, so he wanted to go to Tianxiangju to buy delicious food. Therefore, he had been waiting there early. At the entrance of the village, he wanted to be the first to see his sister.
Thinking of the Ziyan Baiwei chicken that her sister brought last time, Xiaomeng's saliva couldn't help but flow out.
At this time, Xiaomeng inadvertently looked up and saw a carriage parked in front of him. He was a little curious, but did not step forward because his sister had told him before that strange carriages should not approach to avoid human traffickers. Drag him into the car and sell him. Such a beautiful boy like him will definitely fetch a good price. No, there will definitely be many people who want to snatch it away.
After the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Shen Rou's face was revealed. She saw Gu Xiaomeng alone on the side of the road, seemingly waiting for someone, so she stopped and asked, "Xiaomeng, what are you doing?"
Gu Xiaomeng didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw Shen Rou, a smile appeared on his face and he said without warning: "It's sister Xiaorou, I'm waiting for sister, sister said she wanted to celebrate today, oh by the way, Sister Xiaorou, we are going to Qianjing soon, and my eldest brother bought us a yard in Qianjing, it’s so big.”
Originally, Shen Rou wanted to see her brothers again before leaving, but when she knew that they were moving to Qianjing, for some reason, a feeling of jealousy suddenly filled her chest, making her feel uncomfortable. Why did she suffer a lot when she was in the Gu family, but when Gu Li came, she had a big house and an elder brother who was an official.
Even my uncle's business is getting better and better. My father and mother went over to take care of the business together, and they probably made a lot of money.
Why? Why did she have to leave her hometown? Not to mention the general's lady, she didn't even have an ordinary wealthy life, but they were living better and better.
She looked at Xiaomeng, who was innocent and unguarded against her, and a vicious plan came to her mind: "Xiaomeng, come here, come quickly, my sister has brought some delicious food, let me share some with you..."
"This..." Xiaomeng hesitated, "Sister said, you can't take other people's things for free."
"Xiao Meng, this is what's wrong with you. These are the food I gave to my brothers. You don't have to eat them, but you have to help them carry them over, right? Otherwise, if I go home, your sister Gu Li will If you see it, you will be unhappy, come here."
"This..." Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment. Gu Li didn't like Shen Rou, and he knew it, so he didn't hesitate at the moment. If he could make his sister less unhappy, he would work harder and bring the things home. That's good, and it saves Sister Xiaorou going to the house.
Thinking of this, Xiaomeng finally made up her mind and strode over.
However, what greeted him was not food. Xiaomeng only felt a hand grabbing his collar, and then heard a "chi" sound. He only felt numbness in his chest, and then it felt like someone inserted a piece of ice into it. Into my chest, sister, Xiaomeng is so cold...
The coachman was a little stunned to see that a young lady who looked gentle and weak on the outside would actually do this to a child of several years old. In fact, the child seemed to be very close to her. This young lady in his family could really be said to be... Cruel and ruthless.
Shen Rou kicked Xiao Meng into the grass on the side of the road, looked at the surprised driver coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Why don't you leave quickly?"
"Drive!" The driver did not hesitate, flicked his whip, and the car drove away as fast as the wind.
Gu Li was holding one or two large bags of food, with cold dishes in her left hand and braised food in her right hand. She was in such a good mood: "This is the Ziyan Baiwei Chicken that Xiaomeng loves to eat. This is my eldest brother's favorite." Tea cake, this is the cold dish that the second brother likes, this is the tripe that the third brother likes, this is the sweet and sour pork ribs that the fourth brother likes, this is the braised beef that the fifth brother likes... Together, Xiaomeng must be very happy like!"
In order to rush for time, Gu Li even rented a carriage. She urged the coachman many times along the way, which made him impatient. But looking at such a beautiful little girl, and looking so happy, she felt inexplicably My mood is also very good, and I can't even get angry.
Gu Li was indeed in a good mood until she saw the small shoe on the roadside at the entrance of the village.
