Chapter 226 Planning 2
After listening to Qin Xiaoning's instructions, Songzhi quietly slipped out with the money box. They had just moved here, and the little maid had been busy going out to buy things from time to time these days, so there was no one guarding the door.
But Qin Xiaoning is no longer so free. Lu Ji does not restrict her from going out, but as long as she leaves the house, Wushuang Wuxue will follow her.
If you want to leave, you must hide it from these two people.
These two women are carefully trained secret guards, how can they be so easy to deal with?
Qin Xiaoning leaned on the couch and looked at the scene in the yard through the door.
The house she lived in was the main house, with two courtyards for entry and exit. There was a small row of gatehouses between the two courtyards. These small gatehouses were where the maids lived. The main courtyard was quite large, with pavilions and terraces. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a rockery. The courtyard at the entrance was smaller, with a few rooms on the east side, which were also for servants to live in. Wushuang and Wuxue lived there.
On weekdays, when Qin Xiaoning was in the main room, Wushuang and Wuxue would sit downstairs and guard her. If they saw her go out, they would follow her.
The wall of the main courtyard was several feet high. Qin Xiaoning, a weak woman, had no way of climbing over it. Even with the help of a rope, it would be impossible.
Therefore, the only exit is through the main entrance.
We have to avoid Wushuang and Wuxue who are guarding there.
"Those two girls are both skilled and they just stand there without blinking an eye. I think this is going to be difficult." Song Zhi came in from outside and sat down on the small bench next to Qin Xiaoning, looking worried. "It's useless to think about it all day. Forget it. I think you shouldn't bother thinking about it. It won't work."
Qin Xiaoning's eyes moved from the small gatehouse that separated the two courtyards to Songzhi, and she asked, "Is Si'er living in the first room of that small room?"
After Qin Xiaoning moved in, Lu Ji assigned many capable maids from Qingsong Garden to come over. Si'er was originally Qin Xiaoning's personal attendant, so naturally he came along as well.
Seeing Qin Xiaoning suddenly ask this, Songzhi didn't understand and answered truthfully: "Si'er lives there." Glancing at Qin Xiaoning's relaxed expression, Songzhi frowned and asked: "Do you have a solution?"
Qin Xiaoning nodded at her and murmured, "But if we want to get out, we can't do without Si'er's help."
Then, she told Songzhi her plan in detail, and asked, "Do you have a way to convince Si'er?"
After listening to Qin Xiaoning's plan, Songzhi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and said with emotion: "A Ning, you are so smart. You can actually come up with such a trick. You are really smart." Then he sighed: "It seems that the prince was right to send you to a private school. People who have studied are smart."
Qin Xiaoning smiled and said jokingly, "The teacher in the private school didn't teach me these things. It has nothing to do with whether I have studied or not. I was born smart."
Glancing at Songzhi's angry eyes, Qin Xiaoning said seriously, "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Go and convince Si'er first, then take some of our important personal belongings out quietly, and then rent a carriage in the city. If Si'er agrees, we'll leave tomorrow."
"So urgent?"
Qin Xiaoning sighed: "Since we have to leave sooner or later, we might as well do it quickly."
Songzhi also sighed: "I just feel sorry for the prince. How can he live without you?"
"He's a grown man. Even without me, would he be so upset that he would want to commit suicide?" Qin Xiaoning smiled helplessly. "He'll probably feel bad for a while, but a man's world is so big. It won't take long for him to slowly forget about it. After he marries Wang's cousin, he'll probably slowly forget about it."
"I think it's difficult." Songzhi said, "I don't believe there is any other woman in this world who can replace you in the prince's heart."
"A Ning, you have a very cruel heart."
Qin Xiaoning smiled and said, "It's not that I'm cruel, but even if I stay with him, I can't stay with him for long. Can I be humble to Wang Fengyi? I'm not that kind of person. That's all. I won't say this anyway. I'll have to leave sooner or later, so it's better to end it sooner."
That day, Lu Ji returned very late.
It was late at night, Qin Xiaoning was tossing and turning in bed, thinking about her past with Lu Ji. The girl felt mixed emotions.
Her presence did make him happy, but it also made him do many things that were not suitable for his status. After she was gone, his life got back on track, he got married and had children, and like most children of the rich and powerful, he lived a happy life and no longer had to endure the criticism behind his back.
As the eldest son of a noble family, he should be like this.
As for her, she will never see him again and will never be able to enjoy his love again. Will she miss him?
The girl felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when she thought about leaving Lu Ji.
I am reluctant to give up, but I still have to give up.
It's better for everyone if she leaves.
I was thinking about my own things here when I heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside.
It’s Lu Ji who’s back.
The little girl quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she was still worried that the man would become suspicious, so she took out a handkerchief from under the pillow and wiped her face, then closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
It was not until the bed beside her sank that the little girl turned around in a deliberately confused manner.
"Why are you back so late?" She said in a vague voice, with the laziness of having just woken up.
Lu Ji lay down next to her: "Are you asleep?"
"Yeah." The little girl lazily crawled into his arms: "I've been waiting for you. I just fainted."
Lu Ji was happy. He put his strong arms around the soft waist of the little woman and said in a doting tone, "I will be home late these few days. Don't wait for me. If you are tired, go to sleep first."
"Is there any progress on the Jiang family's matter?" asked the little girl.
"You really can't hide anything from me." Lu Ji smiled and replied, "The people I have planted in the palace have helped my elder sister find out some things about Prince Qing. Although the culprit is Concubine Chen, Concubine Duan also had a hand in poisoning Prince Qing. Concubine Jing and the late Prince Qing are the minefields of the saint. As long as they touch Zhao Che's sore spot, there is no worry that the Jiang family will be overthrown."
The man talked about these important things with the little woman, and his big hand touched her belly: "After our child is born, I should have overthrown the Jiang family. I will give the best to our child."
This man has been obsessed lately. Ever since he stopped taking the contraceptive pills, he has been thinking about having her give birth to a child for him all day long.
Even if the Jiang family is gone, there is still the saint.
It's not that easy.
She doesn't want to give birth.
Go quickly, there is no time to delay. The man is working so hard, if she really gets pregnant, she won't be able to leave.
"What are you thinking about?" The man stopped talking and asked her with his eyes lowered.
The little girl stopped thinking and moved her soft body closer to him: "I am just like you, looking forward to our beautiful future."
