The coachman tightened the rope, got out of the carriage first, arranged the stools, and respectfully greeted the master to get off the carriage.

Mrs. Xing got down from the carriage, and said to Mrs. Xing Er who was supporting her: "This mess has been cleaned up, you tell the second child, if you do this kind of stupid thing again, I will drive him out of the Xing residence."

"Mother just rest assured, the daughter-in-law must take care of the second master."

"If you can keep an eye on him, you won't let him mess around outside." Mrs. Xing said, "In short, this is the last time I will clean up the mess for your second wife. I am old and my bones cannot withstand your troubles. If you have a little filial piety, don't bother me, an old woman."

Mrs. Xing asked Nanny Qian to help her back to her room to rest.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Madam Li, who was in charge of the warehouse, running over staggeringly, knelt down in front of the old lady and said, "Old lady, Fifth Miss sent someone to remove the eldest lady's dowry."

"It was originally in her yard, where else can it be moved?" Mrs. Xing still hadn't understood the seriousness of the matter.

"A group of people came today, and the dowries were moved outside. As for where they went, I don't know. The old slave brought people to stop them, but all the people brought into the mansion by the Fifth Miss You are a good hand, the old slave has been tied up, and there is no way to stop it!" Nanny Li knelt on the ground, crying about the grievance, it seems that what Xing Jiashi sent someone to remove was not her mother's things, but this old woman's things.

"What is Fifth Miss trying to do?" Mrs. Xing Er said, "She is worried that people in our house will steal her mother's dowry? Isn't everything given to her? It's still in her yard. What good is she doing?" worried?"

"She wants to stay away from the Xing family and never come back." Mrs. Xing said angrily, "I thought she was so honest recently, so that's the idea. Well, I want to see what she wants to do. "

"Miss Fifth is out of the house." Nanny Li said, "When the old slave came over just now, I heard what some servants said."

"Too bad, she must have run away." Mrs. Xing Er said, "Mom, what should we do now?"

Mrs. Xing said: "I have been guarding against her, so I arranged a few people to watch outside. Once she tries to escape from the Xing family, she will be arrested. If she wants to run, it depends on whether she can get out of the capital."

The Xing Mansion sent a large number of servants to look for Xing Jiashi.

The common people noticed the movements in the Xing Mansion, and asked what happened one after another.

"I heard that a servant ran away from the Xing Mansion, and that servant took away a lot of property, so the people from the Xing Mansion wanted to arrest him and send him to the officials."

"It's so courageous that you dare to run away. If the fugitive slave is caught, it will be a dead end."

On the other side, Xing Jiashi encountered a problem.

She originally brought Qingrou and Qinghui to leave Xing's mansion, but she never thought that Qingrou and Qinghui had stomach pains one after another before they left the capital less than two quarters of an hour after they left, and it was obvious that the two of them were in pain. Things are not going well.

"Doctor, how is it?"

"These two girls are poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Xing Jiashi's expression turned ugly upon hearing the doctor's words, "Do you know what the poison is? Can it be cured?"

The doctor shook his head: "Forgive me for being helpless, but the girl should ask someone else to be wise!"

"Miss." Qingrou covered her stomach and said to her, "You go quickly! Nubi and Qinghui will be fine. Leave us alone."

"Yes. This is clearly the work of the people from the Xing residence." Qinghui said, "No wonder the young lady obtained the contracts of prostitution from the slaves so easily. It turns out that there are still recruits waiting. Miss, the old lady doesn't want you to leave Xingfu, I want you to marry off as the fifth young lady of the Xing family and seek benefits for the Xing family. If you don’t leave at this time, once you return to the Xing family, it will be even more difficult for you to leave. Take this opportunity and hurry up ah!"

"You have followed me, and you are my people. How can I watch you suffer and die?" Xing Jiashi said, "I'll go back and find them."

Xing Jiashi stood up and said to the doctor next to her, "Doctor, please help me take care of them first, I will be back soon."

"Girl, this won't work..." The doctor didn't dare to take over this hot potato. "Their situation is not very good. If you put people here with me, if there is something wrong with them, how can I tell?"

"Don't worry, they'll be fine."

"This……"

Just as Xing Jiashi walked out of the door, she saw Zhang Yi passing by with a few of his men.

Zhang Yi recognized Xing Jiashi. Seeing Xing Jiashi coming out of the pharmacy with an ugly expression on his face, he just wanted to call her back, but saw her get in a carriage and asked the driver to rush to Xing's house.

Zhang Yi returned to the opposite shop, and said to Lu Shaoyu who was forging iron in the blacksmith's shop: "I saw Miss Xing just now, her complexion is not very good, it seems that something has happened to her."

Lu Shaoyu looked at the dart in front of him, and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yi: "Nothing happened to Xing Manor recently, right?"

"It's nothing, everything is normal! Mr. Hua and the Tang family are married. The two families are very satisfied with the marriage. They have already discussed the date of marriage. It stands to reason that there should be nothing wrong with the Xing family."

"Send someone to inquire again." Lu Shaoyu said, "You also said that her complexion is not very good, and something must have happened."

Zhang Yi said yes.

Not long after, Zhang Yi came back and said, "There are two girls in the pharmacy opposite, and those two girls are Miss Xing's elder girls. I heard that the two girls were poisoned."

"What did the doctor say?"

"What can the doctor of this pharmacy do? He wanted Miss Xing to take him away, but Miss Xing just asked the doctor to take care of her. She came back soon and then left."

"You send someone to Xing's house to have a look, and then ask the imperial physician to come over and see the two girls." Lu Shaoyu said, "I still have a case, so I must rush over there immediately. You send someone to watch the Xing's house, and tell me if there is anything else. .”

"Yes."

Xing Jiashi returned to Xing's house in a carriage.

The servants of the Xing Manor were looking for her everywhere, and when they saw her appear, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fifth Miss, you are finally back." The housekeeper greeted him, "Old Madam told me, if Fifth Miss comes back, go to the Old Madam's yard immediately, she has something to explain."

Xing Jiashi ignored the housekeeper, but rushed towards the old lady's yard.

Mrs. Xing heard that she was back and waited for her to appear.Sure enough, when she saw her figure, she showed a clear expression.

"An antidote."

Seeing her reaching out for the antidote, Mrs. Xing neither saluted nor greeted her. She had a very bad attitude and didn't take her seriously at all.

She patted the table next to her, and said coldly: "Is this how your parents taught you to behave? Or is it because you are used to being wild outside and don't even know the rules? Then all the rules these days have been learned in vain? "

"Of course I know the rules, but those rules are useless to those vicious people." Xing Jiashi said, "Qingrou and Qinghui are people in your room, and you can treat them so cruelly."

"The two girls are not as important as your grandmother?" Mrs. Xing sneered, "I really don't know whether to say that you value love and righteousness, or that you are ruthless."

"An antidote."

"I sent someone to give the medicine. Without the antidote, those two girls would not be able to survive." Mrs. Xing said, "Originally, as long as you took them to stay in the mansion honestly, such a thing would not happen. The medicine in their body needs to be restrained by the spices of the Xing Mansion. You took them to change clothes in order to escape the tracking of the Xing Mansion. You never thought that it was this change of clothes that harmed them. Originally they were wearing the clothes of the Xing Mansion. The clothes are smoked with spices, which can ensure that they will not relapse. No matter how bad it is, as long as they bring sachets, it can also ensure that they will not be poisoned. This is called being clever and being fooled by cleverness."

"I'm back, should I give the antidote too?" Xing Jiashi said again, "I want the antidote."

"The antidote can be given to you, but without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the Xing Manor." Mrs. Xing said, "And your mother's dowry, which must be brought back."

"Don't think about my mother's dowry. I have already stored them in a safe place, and only I know where they are." Xing Jiashi said, "That is my mother's dowry. It is understandable for me to take it away."

"Okay, it's fine if you don't hand over the dowry, as long as you stay in the Xing residence honestly and wait for the Xing family to explain your marriage to you, that's fine." Mrs. Xing said.

"I agree." First agree, then go back on it.

Since she can escape once, she can escape the second time.

However, before leaving the Xing Mansion, she had to find a way to cure Qingrou and Qinghui. Otherwise, if such a thing happened again, it would not be a case of poisoning. I am afraid that Qingrou and Qinghui would be in danger of life.

"Since you dare to leave, you must know that I don't have any threats from your friends, that's why you left so reluctantly." Mrs. Xing said.

Xing Jiashi did not respond.

Mrs. Xing already knew the answer.

Xing Jiashi returned to Xing's house, and she had no choice but to leave.The old lady gave the antidote, and the housekeeper rushed to the pharmacy with the antidote, intending to bring Qingrou and Qinghui back.

"They are not in the pharmacy." The housekeeper said to Mrs. Xing, "I heard from the clerk at the pharmacy that shortly after Miss Fifth left, several officials took the two girls away. The clerk also said that judging by their clothes, they should be inspected. The official of the court."

A look of surprise flashed in Xing Jiashi's eyes.

Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Could it be Master Xiao Lu?

Madam Xing looked at Xing Jiashi: "Someone you know?"

Xing Jiashi said indifferently: "I haven't seen it, how do I know who it is? Maybe the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate found two poisoned girls there when he passed by. He wants to find out who poisoned them!"

Mrs. Xing snorted coldly: "Okay, let them check it out. I'm going to discipline a few servants who don't understand the rules. Is it possible that the procuratorate wants to do something to me?"

"If the old lady has nothing else to do, I'll go back to my room first."

"You don't even call grandma anymore?"

"If you really treated me as a granddaughter, you wouldn't treat me as a criminal and lock me up in the Xing Mansion. To put it bluntly, I'm a good bargaining chip for you. If that's the case, why do you want to act as a grandparent?"

Xing Jiashi returned to the room.

Qingrou and Qinghui were not there, and the housekeeper didn't find them when they rushed over, so they haven't taken the antidote yet.Where the hell are they now?If they were in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, could they be rescued?

Xing Jiashi can't get out now, and at this critical moment, there must be no servants who dare to help her.No matter how much money she tempts, it is not as important as their lives, so she is alone and helpless at this time.

A flute sounded.

When Xing Jiashi heard the sound of the flute, she felt a little familiar.

She remembered.

"Master Xiao Lu."

Xing Jiashi opened the window and looked in the direction of the flute sound.

On the roof, Lu Shaoyu played the flute.When she opened the window, the flute stopped and Lu Shaoyu looked in her direction.

Xing Jiashi looked at Lu Shaoyu's figure in surprise.

Lu Shaoyu flew down from above lightly like a bird.

Although Xing's mansion is not as big as Lu's mansion, it has had a glorious period anyway.Lu Shaoyu didn't know the location of Xing Jiashi just now, so he used the sound of the flute to lure her out. Now that he knew, he escaped the guards in the Xing Mansion and landed in front of her mysteriously.

"Your two maidservants are fine now." Lu Shaoyu said.

Xing Jiashi let out a breath, and bowed to Lu Shaoyu solemnly: "Thank you, my lord, if it weren't for you, something would happen to those two girls."

"Even if I didn't save them, they would be fine. Who let them find a good master? For their safety, even the plan to escape was shelved, and they threw themselves into the trap and returned to the Xing family."

"Master Xiao Lu knows?" Xing Jiashi asked.

"Your two maids know that I am not malicious and want me to help you. Don't blame them."

"How could I blame them?" Xing Jiashi said, "If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't have caused them to suffer from this kind of poison. They used to belong to the old lady's courtyard, and they were considered very prestigious servants in Xing's mansion. Now Following my unlucky master, even they have become unlucky."

"They have nothing to do, and you are the only one who has something to do now." Lu Shaoyu said, "I said, as long as you ask, I can help you."

"My lord has helped me a lot." Xing Jiashi said, "My lord, this is my housework. As you can see, it's a mess. Let me handle it myself! It's just that those two girls need to trouble your lord." Help me settle down. I also have a few shops in the capital, as you know, when those two girls recover, you can help me put them in my shop and take care of the business!"

"Are you not planning to leave Xing Manor?"

"I missed the best opportunity, and I have to find another opportunity." Xing Jiashi said, "Besides, I also want to know what price the Xing Mansion wants to sell me to be satisfied."

"Okay, send someone to tell me if you need help." Lu Shaoyu said, "Since you are fine here, then I excuse you."

Xing Jiashi watched Lu Shaoyu disappear.

She knew how busy he was, so it was her honor that he could take time out of his busy schedule to meet her.

"Miss, someone is coming from Washington." Madam Qian's voice came from outside, "Old Madam invites you to come over."
