As soon as I saw the dirty face and the smart big eyes on my face, I was shocked.

Then, isn’t Caiwei?

She obviously saw me, and she was trembling for a moment. I didn't know if it was fear or excitement. Her big eyes kept flashing with light spots. Later I felt that it was tears. She was wearing a shabby felt stained with a lot of mud, curled up there, no longer as clean as before, but was as embarrassed as mud that could be trampled on by others.

When I looked at her and she looked at me, there were a few people next to me pointing at her.

"This girl... looks good, but she's just a mute."

"Mutual? Who wants the mute?"

"But look at her, she has good hands and feet, and she looks--"

"I don't want the mute."

...

Mute? I frowned. Has she not recovered yet?

Seeing that I was staring at her, Liu Qinghan seemed to feel something. He didn't say anything, and I had already walked over a few steps. When Caiwei saw me walking over, she immediately rolled over and rushed over and threw herself into my arms: "Madam!"

When she opened her mouth, I heard that she was not unrecovering, but she had not recovered well. Her voice was hoarse as if rough sand and gravel were being sharpened. The sound was very unpleasant and uncomfortable.

But I don't understand why she appeared here?

I held her arm with both hands and barely pulled her up, but I realized that she didn't seem to have much strength. Several times I wanted to stand up, but I fell down. I looked back at Liu Qinghan, and he said calmly: "Go back to that teahouse first, let her sit down and rest, and eat something."

When Caiwei saw me, it was like a drowning man caught a life-saving straw. Although she had no strength, her hands were holding me like iron pliers and refused to let go. I half-held her and walked back to the restaurant with Liu Qinghan, and still wrapped the private room, asking the waiter to bring some hot tea and stuff to eat. She finally relaxed until this time. She looked at us, then looked at the food sitting on her seat, and immediately grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

I remember that she was smart and smart. She was a rare person in Jinling Mansion who was willing to hang out to me. But now that I am so angry that she once wanted to betray me and even used medicine to slut her, but this is how people are. Once the reality is happy or safe, they don’t care so much about the past, and even some entangled hatred will be reduced a lot. Looking at her unkempt face and muddy face, I felt distressed first.

So, I took out a handkerchief and wet a corner with tea. While she was eating, I gently wiped the mud on her face.

After wiping some, I realized that there was still injuries on her face. As soon as I touched it, she took a breath of air conditioning, as if it was in great pain.

My brows immediately frowned: "What's wrong? Who hits you?"

She had a mouthful of snacks, and when she heard this, her eyes turned red. She raised her head and looked at me.

“…”

I was silent for a moment: "It was because of my escape, right?"

Her tears rustled down like beads with broken threads. She immediately scratched her face one by one. When she spoke again, her voice became more hoarse: "We are all locked up and beaten for a long time..."

"You?" I said, "and those guards?"

"Um."

"Is it the young master's order?"

She looked at me pitifully and nodded, but immediately shook her head: "When we were taken back to the inner courtyard, the young master sat in the room. The room was so messy, everything was broken, and the young master's hands were covered with blood, and he seemed to feel no pain. No matter what we said or begged for mercy, the young master did not respond."

I bit my lower lip and didn't say anything. Liu Qinghan, who had been sitting next to me, raised his head and looked at me with his eyes flashing.

At this moment, both of them fell silent.

"Later, the eldest lady—" she said, looking at me again, feeling a little timid: "She, she is already a lady, and the lady ordered us to be locked up."

“…”

“We were beaten all night.”

“…”

"Later, I heard they were going to kill us."

My face suddenly changed, and Caiwei's throat seemed to be unable to bear it. She coughed a few times. Liu Qinghan, who had been silent all the time, picked up a cup of tea at this time and put it gently in front of her. She nodded quickly and said nodded: "Thank you, thank you, thank you young master."

After she took a few sips and the teacup was over, I asked, "What happened later?"

"Later, the second lady came."

“…” My breathing tightened: “Miss Zitong?”

"Well. The second lady came to see me. Seeing that I was beaten so much, she secretly let me go."

“…”

"She also asked me to leave Jinling quickly. If I stay there, I will definitely not be able to survive."

“…”

"I secretly crossed the river, without any money on me, and no one was willing to hire me. I finally found a job. They were cheating people and wanted to trick me into that kind of place."

My brows suddenly became a lump.

"I, I finally escaped, there is no way... I can only come here..."

It was already very difficult for her to continue. She coughed desperately, and it seemed like a knife was shaving her throat, which was very uncomfortable. I didn't expect that it was only two days before I left Jinling, but she had experienced so many injuries and those unbearable memories. For a girl, it was already a desperate situation.

I frowned and said softly, "Okay, don't talk anymore, let's take a break first."

Although I said this, she looked up at me, her eyes turned red from the violent cough, and there seemed to be tears flashing. She said softly: "Madam, I know that Madam blames me. At that time, I wanted to betray my wife and let them catch you."

I was silent and looked at her with a faint expression.

"I, I know I'm not right."

“…”

"Please give me another chance, madam."

“…”

"I will definitely serve my wife!"

Seeing that she seemed to have found a life-saving straw, I did not agree to her immediately, but calmly filled her tea cup with tea, then pulled another plate of snacks in front of her, and said, "You eat something first, and then talk about it when you have the strength."

She nodded, wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and lowered her head to continue eating and drinking.

I looked at her pitiful look and sighed silently. When I raised my head, Liu Qinghan, who was sitting opposite, was looking at me calmly.

I felt that he seemed to have something to say, and I looked at him too.

However, he spoke, but instead of talking to me, he asked Caiwei: "How long have you been waiting for you here to sell yourself as a slave?"

Caiwei seemed a little afraid of him and said timidly, "About half an hour. I've been walking on the road for a long time..."

Liu Qinghan's face sank.

I said softly, "What's wrong?"

"Come with me."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the windowsill on the other side of the private room. Caiwei raised her head and looked at me. I patted her shoulder and comforted her a few words, then walked over and walked through the bead curtain, and saw his face slightly dimming in the sunlight.

He has been out for so long today, and he cannot be said to be in a bad mood, but now he can see that his mood is starting to get worse.

I said first, "What's wrong?"

He didn't say anything, looked at me, looked at the other end of the shaking bead curtain, and was still coughing and drinking water.

I also looked back and looked at him: "Do you think I should save her?"

“…”

"Or, give her some money and let her make a living by herself?"

“…”

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "You asked me to choose a girl for you just now."

"Um……"

"I've chosen, too."

I raised my eyebrows - indeed, I just asked him to choose a smart girl from the group of girls who can serve me. The one he chose was Caiwei. Moreover, this girl knows my origin and is indeed smart. If you want to use people, she is indeed familiar but not raw. She is a good choice.

Moreover, after experiencing the previous one, she only understood my methods better and was more loyal.

But when I saw his appearance, I didn't seem to be relieved, so I asked, "Since I chose her, why are you still worried?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe, your carriage can't pick you up tomorrow morning."

"What?"

"Go and change the time, and leave with us today."

"..." I frowned: "You mean-"

Liu Qinghan took a deep breath and said, "Before, even if Pei Yuanxiu knew that Yu Sheng saved you from Jinling, Jiangnan was so big, Yangzhou alone was not a place where he could see his hands and eyes. He was not that easy to find. It was more likely that he would guess that you had already gone to Xichuan with Yu Sheng. It would not take a day or a night to recover you."

I nodded.

"But now it's different. This girl escaped and fled here."

“…”

"The people from Jinling are likely to come to catch her. It is much easier to track her than to track Yu Sheng, and she doesn't have any anti-tracking techniques."

I immediately understood.

Indeed, no matter how smart this kind of girl is, she is not smart enough to consciously destroy the evidence left by her escape, but even if I know a little, I was so careful when I was in the capital, but I was still followed by the people of Changmingzong to Huang Tianba’s Qingmei Garden.

If the people from Jinling come to catch her; if they tracked down Qishan Village; if they asked again, they would have roughly discovered the whereabouts of Liu Qinghan and me!

Liu Qinghan turned around and looked out the window, his face slightly solemn: "So, we must leave as soon as possible."

“…”
