Xiuxiu in the carriage felt a chill go down her back.
But she didn't dare to look back, let alone spoil the interest of the person in front of her.
After she woke up, she found that she and the young master of the Yi family were the only ones left in the carriage.
At that moment, her heart sank suddenly, and as soon as she regained consciousness, there were faint signs of drowsiness again.
Especially when the person in front of her had a cold look on her face, the hand that was squeezing her neck hard, and the look in her eyes showing cruelty, Xiu Xiu was even more panicked.
But she also has some brains.
Although she didn't know why it got to this point, at this moment, she knew that she had no way out, and she also noticed that the man in front of her was so angry that he really wanted her to die.
She tried her best to suppress the begging for mercy that was about to escape her lips, and the viciousness in her eyes disappeared, and instead became a bit pitiful.
Song Ci plotted against her.
Xiu Xiu only had this idea.
She didn't feel that she had suffered the consequences of her own misfortune and had tasted the word retribution. She only felt that everything was Song Ci's deliberate means to harm her.
It was Song Ci who stole the job that originally belonged to her and the attention of Xin Xiuzhang.
Even with those small favors, she took away her position in the embroidery workshop, and made those embroiderers who had never seen much of the world rush to her side one by one.
Thinking of this, Xiu Xiu simply became cruel.
Since there is no way back, she must cling to the man in front of her.
Even if she was to be an outhouse, she would still climb the big tree of the Yi family and completely trample Song Ci under her feet!
By then, she can make people happy, and she can find ways to get some money. Even if she has to leave Luo City, she will definitely be able to live a prosperous life.
After thinking about it, although Xiuxiu didn't know who was looking at the carriage from behind, she still took the initiative to climb up.
Ignoring the pressure on her neck, she cried out to Master Yi, looking at Chu Chu pitifully.
...
Song Jinyin didn't know what was going on outside and had no intention of inquiring.
But after Lin Jingxiu stopped her again, he frowned and looked at the sky.
This young master of the Lin family doesn't have many bad intentions.
Song Jinyin had seen him and Zhou Yanan get along with each other several times in Zhuya Courtyard. At that time, except for Pei Yanzhou, both of them were men who could tell their thoughts on their faces.
Straightforward and high-spirited.
Later, due to the incident at the eldest princess's residence, Lin Jingxiu rarely went out. In addition, due to the fire in the bamboo forest, Song Jinyin did not see this person again for a long time.
So Song Jinyin really couldn't think of a reason why he asked her to stay.
"Master Lin?"
"That day, the girl left Kyoto City that day, but someone else handled the directions and documents for you?"
Song Jinyin was stunned for a moment, her face becoming more and more puzzled.
For such a thing, let alone Lin Jingxiu being with Pei Yanzhou all the time, even if he had just heard about it, he should have known in his mind that this was nonsense.
"Is this what Young Master Lin wants to ask?"
Song Jinyin paused for a moment and then said good-naturedly: "Without those things, how could a civilian girl leave under the eyes of the guards? Mr. Lin should know his responsibilities better than a civilian girl."
The hesitation and disbelief in her eyes made Lin Jingxiu feel as if he saw the word contempt.
Even he couldn't help but want to shut his mouth.
"...To be honest with you, girl, I just recalled the days a few years ago and wanted to reminisce with her. Besides, you and I are considered acquaintances. We are not as unfamiliar as the girl said."
"Young Master Lin is joking. Even the former Song Jinyin has never had contact with the Young Master several times, let alone today's civilian daughter."
Song Jinyin understood what this person meant.
She glanced at the sleeping person on the bed and chuckled, "Master Lin wants the daughter of the people to stay and take care of the prince? But those are not the tasks of the people of the country, and it is not convenient for the people of the country themselves."
"Actually, you don't have to be so different from me, and what I said, girl, is indeed half right."
"Are you half right? It's not polite for a civilian girl to stay."
Song Jinyin spoke firmly and did not give in at all.
Lin Jingxiu raised his hand and touched his nose, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
For Song Jinyin like this, let alone Pei Yanzhou, who had hurt her before, even if he, a man with many beauties, took action, it would be difficult to get her to pay any attention to her.
It seems that the road ahead for Pei Yanzhou will be more difficult than he originally thought.
Song Jinyin didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the place, walking so fast without any hesitation.
Cang Lin looked at the sleeping master on the bed and determined that it was just because he was intoxicated, so he followed him with two Xuanwei.
The sky was already dark outside, and the girl had just escaped from the clutches of the evil wolf.
Even if the master is not conscious enough to give orders at this time, he also knows that there is absolutely no one around the girl.
"Master Cang Lin, Master was really knocked unconscious by Miss Jin Yin? We don't know what those things on the girl's body are, should we avoid them in the future?"
Xuanwei spoke next to him, his voice very low.
Kurin looked forward with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Miss Jin Yin was more than a little confused, and these were probably related to Shen Yuhe.
This time, due to the mistake, the master was only fainted, so sleeping on it was not a bad thing.
But next time, and the next time, no one knows what might accidentally get onto the master.
But thinking about it, Cang Lin also knew that no one who was guarding the girl from now on could retreat.
"If the people who follow you don't get together, if you get hit, there will always be one or two who are awake. We will talk about avoiding it later, but be careful. Master will send you to escape from this world."
"Yes, Master Kurin."
In the alley, the woman in the courtyard next door kept the door open.
Seeing Song Jinyin coming back, he quickly called her and brought out a pot of charcoal that was burning brightly.
"Why did the girl come back so late today? The fire hasn't been lit at home yet, right?"
"Not yet. Has Sister Sun's husband not returned home today?"
"He went out with the people from the iron shop to deliver goods. He was wondering if he could change some more money and bring back some new year's goods from outside to see what's new!"
The woman smiled and waved, then walked directly to her side with the brazier in hand.
"The fire is burning brightly today. It would be a pity to put it out tonight. I happened to send you some to save you the trouble of rekindling the fire in this cold weather!"
"Thank you, Sister Sun."
Song Jinyin felt the warmth from the brazier, smiled gratefully, and kept the person behind when they left.
"Why don't you stay, Sister Sun, and let's have a barbecue?"
"BBQ?"
The woman went into the kitchen with her and stoked the fire in the basin for her.
"I haven't had barbecue for a long time, so I'll really stay! I'll wait for my boss to come back later, and I'll bring you some fresh stuff. It's time to celebrate the New Year!"
"Then I must not be polite to Sister Sun."
Song Jinyin was a little happy today.
Although there had been such an incident during the day, which had frightened her for a long time, after she got off the carriage safely, she knew that not only was this incident over, but also the vicious Xiuxiu would one day die on her own. Eat evil fruits.
When Xiuxiu leaves the embroidery workshop, it will only be a matter of time.
Song Jinyin had no intention of harming others, nor did she intend to fight with others, but she knew that only by protecting herself first could she protect the child in her belly.
The woman's joking in her ears continued. Song Jinyin came back to her senses, took off the meat hanging on it, and handed it over with a smile.
The few people hiding in the darkness glanced at each other.
Cang Lin was even more helpless.
The two of them were chatting too far away. Where could he find a real husband for this subordinate and bring back some new gadgets that were not available in Luo City?
...
After nightfall.
Compared to Song Jinyin's dim alley, the prefect's mansion was brightly lit.
Various lanterns are hung everywhere, and the gold threads are lined with fabrics, exuding a sense of luxury.
Before Feng Qiyu took a sip of tea, he heard that the boy who had been leading him during the day came back to the yard to ask for a meeting.
"Girl, we found out!"
"Did you find out the woman's identity?"
"The woman protected by the prince is still being investigated, but just now Master Yi's coachman accidentally revealed something, saying that the person on the carriage was the embroiderer of Jinyu Embroidery Workshop, and she seemed to have been to the prefect's mansion before! "
Feng Qiyu's face sank and he slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
"A bitch from an embroidery workshop has entered my prefect's house and dares to use such despicable methods to seduce people around me!"
"Girl, calm down."
The boy had an angry look on his face, as if he was apologizing for the injustice of the person in front of him.
"It's because the girl is too kind to these people who have no status. During these days, Madam thought it was you, girl, who said something unpleasant to the Yi family, which made Master Yi not come to visit for a long time. She didn't expect that the young master actually He was blindfolded by a fox!"
"What a bitch! Even if I don't want the one named Yi, it won't be her turn!"
The more Feng Qiyu thought about it, the angrier he became. Together with the fire that had been trapped in the inn during the day, it all came out, "What's that bitch's name?"
"Back to the eldest lady, I heard the coachman say after drinking that the person in the carriage seems to be named Song Ci."
