TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 240 Return of the Pearl Buddha 8

Xiaoyanzi didn't bother to be polite with the boss and bought several sets of clothes at once.

"Let's sisters try these out, and please pack these two sets for me."

The boss, who received the money, agreed repeatedly and didn't think there was anything wrong with them buying clothes for the peasant woman.

After changing their clothes, the three of them quickly went into the alley through the back door.

Ziwei's heart was in her throat. She looked around excitedly, and her eyes were shining when she looked back at Xiaoyanzi.

His tone was filled with admiration that was about to overflow, "Xiaoyanzi, you are amazing."

“It’s possible to figure out a route in such a short time.”

"Of course. I told you I'm very familiar with this area."

"Although this is my first time out, I've already thought about this route countless times. Just follow me, don't worry."

Xiaoyanzi calmly led the two of them around and soon arrived at the carriage and horse shop.

They didn't have much time to prepare dry food, but fortunately they had enough money to buy food along the way.

With the carriage, the three of them quickly rushed out of the city. At this time, Yongqi and others had already discovered that something had happened.

At first they thought it took girls more time to choose things, but after a long time without any movement, everyone realized something was wrong.

After a period of panic, nothing was found.

"There's no one around here, and the vendors on the street have no impression of them. They disappeared in such a short time. Could they have met with some bad guys?"

Ertai took a few guards and asked around, feeling a little uneasy.

"What kind of villain could take someone away in public? The shopkeeper just now didn't show any signs of being out of the ordinary. Maybe Xiaoyanzi took Ziwei away and flew away."

Yongqi pounded his fist, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He wondered why Xiaoyanzi wanted to go shopping for no reason.

Erkang thought about it carefully and then shook his head firmly.

"No, even if Xiaoyanzi wanted to leave, it wouldn't be that easy for her to convince Ziwei."

"This is not a simple matter. Ziwei will not agree to her reckless idea so easily."

Erkang has been getting along very well with Ziwei these days, and their relationship is becoming increasingly ambiguous.

He thought he had expressed it very clearly and Ziwei would not fail to notice it.

Why would Ziwei leave without saying goodbye under such circumstances? They must have encountered some danger.

The more Erkang thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he turned around and ran.

"Ertai, you take the others and continue searching. I will go back to the mansion to ask Ama for help."

"I'll go back with you."

Yongqi did not have the same good attitude as him. He still believed that Xiaoyanzi left on her own.

Let’s go back to the Fu family and see if we can find some useful clues.

Fulun and his wife were shocked by the news. As everyone knows, Princess Huanzhu has been the emperor's jewel in the palm recently.

This ancestor came out of the palace and visited his own home, and now he has disappeared!

If the emperor blames us, who can take the responsibility?

The father and son hurriedly counted the number of people and were about to go out, when Yongqi ran over with a letter.

"Erkang, take a look at this first."

Yongqi handed the letter to Erkang, turned around with a gloomy face and gave orders to the guards beside him.

"Immediately take your men and guard the road out of the city. Have some of you search far away. If you see anyone, return immediately and pass on the message. Be sure not to harm the princess."

"Yes."

"Fifth Prince, what on earth is going on?"

Fu Lun watched as his usually calm son's face changed drastically, his hands were shaking, and he was spinning around in circles in a panic.

"Xiaoyanzi has left with Ziwei. I must hurry back to the palace to report to the Emperor."

"But how are we to explain it?"

Erkang finally came back to his senses from the blow. After reading Ziwei's farewell letter, he had to admit that he was not that important in her heart.

They left without any regrets.

"If this is their wish, do we really need to force it?"

"What are you talking about?"

Yongqi looked Erkang up and down with a strange look, and felt a chill at the other party's inexplicable sadness.

"Is it a question of whether you're willing or not? You have to understand, we were the ones who took Xiaoyanzi out of the palace. Now that something's happened, you and I need to apologize!"

Erkang was dragged into the palace by Yongqi. When Fulun saw this, he quickly changed his clothes and chased after him.

"Say it again? What do you mean Xiaoyanzi and her sworn sisters left?"

After hearing Yongqi's words, the emperor stood up suddenly, snatched the letter from the other's hand and began to read it.

I was amazed by the beautiful handwriting as soon as I saw it, and I felt a little more favorable towards Sister Xiaoyanzi.

After watching it, I don’t know whether to be angry or laugh.

"What's wrong with you guys? Why did Xiaoyanzi come up with such a ridiculous idea out of the blue?"

"It's enough for us to have met our father and experienced his love. Now you want to travel the world and ask us not to look for her?"

"She has the best relationship with you, her brother, in the palace. Are you really unaware of this or did you help her secretly?"

Yongqi immediately began to kowtow when he heard this.

"Father, please forgive me. I was truly unaware of this. The girls have left the capital, so we must first bring them back."

Seeing that he was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead, the emperor snorted coldly, "I don't think you have the guts to do that."

"Take your men out to look for him immediately and bring him back to me."

"Yes, I will go right away."

With the emperor's permission, Yongqi was finally able to go and look for someone.

The time in between was too short, and they all thought Xiaoyanzi would be hiding somewhere in the city, so they put most of their energy into searching for her inside the city.

Xiaoyanzi had already run away with Ziwei overnight.

Instead of staying in an inn, they chose to stay with a farmer.

In order to deter villains, Xiaoyanzi specially wrapped a very conspicuous whip around her waist, which made it obvious that she was not someone who was easy to bully.

The three people who had been traveling all the way huddled in bed and whispered to each other.

Underneath him was fresh straw that the old farmer had just found, and he could hear a slight crackling sound when he moved slightly.

The few people who were used to sleeping on soft beds did not feel uncomfortable. They were in extremely good spirits at this time.

"Ziwei, is the cattail soup you mentioned really that delicious? And the crispy fish made with lotus leaves, I can't wait to try it."

"Of course. My hometown not only has a lot of delicious food, but also beautiful scenery. The emperor even praised it back then."

When Ziwei mentioned Emperor again, she still felt a little sad, but she did not regret it.

"We often use fresh spring water to make tea and soup at home. The cook's cooking skills are truly amazing. I just don't know if I can see her again when I go back this time."

Jinsuo couldn't help but feel excited when she heard them talking about it, because that was her hometown.

I didn't realize I've been away for so long.

Ziwei patted the back of Jinsuo's hand in the moonlight that sneaked in.

She comforted him gently, "It's okay, let's go back and look for her. Granny Shen is a local, she won't leave."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, miss."

"Jinsuo, we grew up together and have been through so much together. I already consider you a sister in my heart. From now on, please don't call me Miss."

"Let's live a good life together. When we get back, we'll go to the government office to change your household registration."

Jinsuo's tears fell out immediately, "Miss~"

She was sold to the Xia family as a slave since she was young, and she didn't even remember her own family. The Xia family treated her very well, and Ziwei was also a very kind person.

But a slave is a slave, that's different.

Hearing that she could be a good girl, Jinsuo was happier than anything else and immediately stood up to kowtow to Ziwei.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I can do anything and earn money. I won't eat for free at home."

"Get up, what are you doing!"

Xiaoyanzi was also happy for Jinsuo. Although she was not a slave, she had seen many slaves.

They are not human beings, but commodities that can be bought and sold at will.

"Look at you guys, what are you doing? It makes me want to cry. Lie down quickly. We are going to live together as good sisters from now on."

"Don't be so polite."

Ziwei also tried to persuade her, and Jinsuo finally stopped crying.

"Once we get there, we have to find a way to make money. We can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor."

"After settling down, I wrote to Liu Qing and Liu Hong. I don't know how they are doing."

"The Emperor probably wouldn't bother looking for us. He has so many daughters that he would have given up after a while. Ziwei, did you write it clearly? I left of my own accord. Don't implicate the Fifth Prince and the others."

"I have written it, don't worry."

……

The three of them talked about their future plans and slowly fell asleep.
