Bai Zhenzhu said anxiously: “Auntie, precisely because he will not spare our life, that’s why we have to find a way to save ourselves. How can we just sit and wait for our death?”

 

Mrs. Liu had no idea for a while and was very confused. Thinking that no one was guarding the door now, she simply grabbed Bai Xiaofeng’s hand and said anxiously: “Let’s escape. We can escape now. There may be a way to live outside. If we stay here, I’m afraid only death awaits us.”

 

Escape? Leave here?

Bai Zhenzhu has never thought about this road. How can the wealthy life that she hardly won let go so easily?

No, she cannot accept it. She has given up everything in her previous life, her parents and relatives, her honor, and love. In the end, what she got was the road to escape?

After escaping from Changyuan Houfu, where can she go? She can’t go back to Huangtou Village. She doesn’t know how she will face her parents. Most of all, she doesn’t want to live in poverty again.

Bai Xiaofeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: “I have an idea.”

Mrs. Liu and Bai Zhenzhu immediately looked at him and asked urgently: “What is it? Say it!”

Bai Xiaofeng came down from the cold Kang, walked slowly to the door, opened a small slit, and made sure that the person guarding the door was not there. Then, he turned to look at Bai Zhenzhu and said: “You help us to escape the Houfu immediately. Then, give us some money to find a place we can shelter in the capital. We will change our surnames, and prevent the people of the Houfu to find us. Only by doing this, we can control the Pei Family. I can threaten him afterward.”

Bai Zhenzhu’s eyes lit up, Bai Xiaofeng’s plan was really good. As long as Mrs. Liu and Bai Xiaofeng can leave Changyuan Houfu and find a place that no one knows, it’s equivalent to taking Pei Qinghan’s secrets out. As long as Pei Qinghan still cares about his face, he wouldn’t do anything to her before he could find Mrs. Liu. She can continue sitting in the position of eldest miss of the Pei Family.

Mrs. Liu immediately understood Bai Xiaofeng’s intentions. She turned her gaze and sharpy said: “But living in the capital is not easy. You need money everywhere. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are not cheap. We are orphans and widows. If we want to live here, I’m afraid it is not easy!”

This bitch is asking for money again!

Bai Zhenzhu was upset, but she had no choice but to pull out a gold hairpin from her head, and then pulled a pair of jade bracelets, and handed it to Mrs. Liu: “These hairpin and jade bracelets are of high-quality. You can at least get 200 hundred taels of silver after selling it, which is enough for you to eat and drink in the capital. After a few days, I will find time to go to the Cuijin Building to see the jewelry. At that time, you will dress up in disguise and meet me quietly. I will follow you so that I will know where you live. It will be more convenient to send money in the future by then.”

Mrs. Liu quickly stuffed the hairpin and bracelets into her sleeve. After seeing the gold and jade, her previous pain of losing her son and husband disappeared. Her mood also brightened up.

Bai Zhenzhu quickly walked to the door and took a look. The slave who took the money and walked away was talking to the two maidservants in the distance. She hurriedly turned her head and said to Mrs. Liu, “Now is a good time for you to run. Run towards the east. There is a small gate over there for the servants and maidservants coming in and out. Only a few guards guarding it. You just need to rush out to get out here.”

Seeing an opportunity, Mrs. Liu and Bai Xiaofeng quickly jumped out of the half-open door. The servant and maidservants chatting in the distance didn’t notice it. It took them a long time to get back to work.

At this time, Bai Zhenzhu was already lying on the dirty ground, “unconscious”.
