Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

After hearing the news, the aunt felt that there were many people named Wang Sheng and she didn't know which one to find for a moment, so she asked Qing Ning to find out more information and come back to tell her, so that she would have more money by then.

In the following days, Qing Ning praised Yan Tinghe in a roundabout way and made her very happy. In just a few days, she got all the information about Wang Sheng. When she heard that he was the young lady's savior, she immediately told her aunt and returned the ten taels of silver.

A few days later, the aunt found her and said that Wang Sheng had been found. She also told her outside the door about his life-saving grace and asked her to tell Yan Tinghe.

Yan Tinghe was so happy that she was about to go out, but Qingning stopped her from going out on the grounds that she was not allowed to meet other men in private. She also said that she could go out secretly to see them and pass the message for them, and they could meet again when the time was right.

At Qing Ning's suggestion, Yan Tinghe and Wang Sheng continued to exchange letters for a full half year, until Wang Sheng said that although his family was poor, he had lofty ambitions and would go to the capital to take the imperial examinations. As soon as he succeeded in his studies and gained fame, he would marry Yan Tinghe immediately.

During the past six months, every time they met secretly, they were interrupted by various trivial matters, which made Yan Tinghe lose her temper. Fortunately, Wang Sheng's various letters comforted her, and her heart was gradually filled with hope.

After five meetings and coincidences, the two people seemed to be reconnected because of the letters.

Knowing that Wang Sheng was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination and there was nothing she could do to help, she took out her savings and wanted to send him there personally. But somehow, just as she was about to sneak out, she was told that her father Yan Jiuwen had arrived.

In a hurry, she gave up her plan to deliver the money personally and gave it to Qingning. Fearing that Wang Sheng might not have enough money, she took out the credit from her father's shop so that he could use it at will. After giving it to Qingning, she packed herself up again and went to see her father.

A few months later, Wang Sheng wrote again saying that he had finally passed the imperial examination, and it was all thanks to Yan Tinghe's financial support that he was able to pass the exam. He wanted to meet Yan Tinghe in private before marrying her to thank her in person.

When Yan Tinghe heard that the six-month correspondence could be finished and she could finally see him again, she dressed herself up beautifully and secretly ran out with Qingning to meet Wang Sheng.

Another maidservant beside her, Hongying, had long been suppressed by Qingning and was forgotten by Yan Tinghe. This was because she was well aware of the young lady's abnormality in the past six months. Every time she tried to persuade her, the young lady would not listen. If the persuasion was too harsh, the young lady would punish her. With Qingning's exaggeration, her life was in dire straits.

When they met, Yan Tinghe felt that her temperament seemed different just by looking at her from behind, but Qing Ning advised that it was because of her academic success in high school that her temperament had changed.

As soon as she met Wang Sheng, Yan Tinghe felt something was wrong. She stood there in a daze as if the world was spinning around her. When she felt something was wrong, she turned around and was about to run away, but Qing Ning told her that this was Wang Sheng, with whom she had been corresponding for half a year.

All their correspondence was in Wang Sheng's hands. Yan Tinghe then felt that this was a big trap. The scholar she wanted to ask was obviously not this one.

But it was useless to say more. Yan Tinghe was knocked unconscious by the man named Wang Sheng and put into a carriage. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

Qing Ning was also frightened out of her wits. She thought it was just a simple meeting with Wang Sheng. She always thought that this Wang Sheng was the Wang Sheng in the young lady's dream, but the young lady looked as if she didn't recognize him. It must be a trap. Oh, aunt.

Qing Ning was greedy for money because he had a sick grandmother at home and wanted to earn more money, but he was tricked by his aunt.

Just when she was about to run away, the man knocked Qing Ning unconscious with a stick and took everyone away.

But it just so happened that after finishing her work, Hongying saw the young lady dressed up beautifully to go out, so she became more cautious. Seeing Qingning following her, she quickly tidied up the yard and ran after her.

Unfortunately, Hongying ran a little slowly and lost Qingning halfway. After searching for a long time, she finally found him. From a distance, she saw a man knocking Qingning unconscious. She was so scared that her lips trembled and she quickly squatted on the spot, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing the carriage taking away Qing Ning and not seeing the young lady, she suddenly became braver and followed the carriage closely. They ran for dozens of miles. When she was so tired that she didn't know whether she was dead or alive, the man in the carriage appeared, knocked her unconscious with a palm, and took her away.

……

It was unknown how long the carriage had been swaying. When the master and his two servants woke up, they had already walked out of three or four cities and were heading towards the remote north.

When Yan Tinghe woke up and saw Qingning, he was furious. He used all his strength to hit Qingning with his head in the carriage, causing her to stagger. Qingning was also woken up by the noise.

But all three were tied up and gagged, so they couldn't move at all.

When Hongying woke up, the man outside suddenly stopped the carriage. After a while, the sound of water was heard. Hongying's expression changed, and she pushed Yan Tinghe hard to push her off the carriage, but Qingning saw through her intention, pushed Yan Tinghe away, and was pushed out by Hongying herself.

A gurgling sound was heard, interrupting the man's urination. He cursed a few words, paused for a while, and then the sound of water continued.

Hongying watched Qingning rolling down like that, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. She signaled Yan Tinghe with her eyes to be at ease. She quietly moved in front of Yan Tinghe and blocked her behind her, but she did not make any move to leave the carriage again.

Soon the man finished his work and got back on the carriage. Hearing that there was no noise, he didn't pay much attention to it. He hummed a song and continued to drive the carriage away.

Halfway through the journey, he felt something was wrong, as if the weight had become lighter. He stopped to look and discovered that one was missing. He was so angry that he took out his horsewhip and whipped each of them. He went back to look for a long time, but there was no trace of Hongying. He was so angry that he cursed and whipped each of them a few more times before he angrily continued on his way.

The two men were in a daze in the carriage and didn't know how much time had passed or how many days they had walked. They had no food or water and were whipped. They were already dying.

When the carriage stopped, the two people were no longer human. They couldn't even get out of the carriage, let alone go to the toilet. They hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, and they probably couldn't even go to the toilet...

The man's carriage stopped in a courtyard and dragged the two people out for a long time. However, the woman in the house was not satisfied with their appearance and asked for a very low amount of silver. The man did not say anything but had one request, that they should never leave the courtyard in their lifetime.

The woman used a very low amount of money to buy two with good foundations. She was satisfied and agreed.
