The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 287 Qiuheng, Let’s Elope

Mu Xiang pushed aside the curtain, hooked it with a golden hook, and whispered, "I know that the young lady is worried about the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master, so I have been asking about it. At four o'clock in the morning, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master came back. They were brought back by Ning Yuanhou himself. They knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and the front and back yards were in chaos for a while. They were carried back by someone."

Shi Yao got out of bed, kicked off a pair of slippers, splashed cold water on her face, and woke up completely. She asked hurriedly, "Did they get beaten again?"

Mu Xiang curled her lips and said, "It's probably true. The Third Madam has issued a gag order, not allowing anyone to spread the news. Only Gan Lu Hall, Fu Sui Courtyard, the old master's Han Xu Courtyard in the outer courtyard, and our Guan Ju Courtyard know the news."

Shi Yao shook her head.

The eighth brother Shi Minghui has a short memory. Last time he asked Ning Yuanhou to break one of his legs. This time he went to harass Ge Qiuheng again. Ning Yuanhou was merciful because he didn't get so angry that he broke his other leg.

They sent the people back in the middle of the night, without waiting for the city gate to be opened. Firstly, it shows how angry Ningyuan Hou was. Secondly, it must have been that Lao Ba and the other two caught up with Ge Qiuheng after dark, harassed the girl at the post station where the Ge family stayed, and were caught red-handed by the Ge family.

If this matter gets out of hand, both families will have a bad reputation.

Ning Yuan Hou could only give him a quick beating and let the matter go, as he couldn't vent his anger. He was afraid that he was planning to do something bad to the Shi family again.

The fourth prince Zhou Shao is now considered half a son-in-law of the Shi family. He is overwhelmed with dealing with the victims whose children have been abducted. I'm afraid that Marquis Ningyuan has also contributed to this.

Shi Yao thought that the more chaotic the situation was, the better, so that Shi Mingzhu would not have time to do anything bad to her.

I don’t know what Shi Mingzhu’s expression was when she found out that today’s assassin was the fifth prince Zhou Xu.

Too bad she couldn't see it.

Shi Yao felt deeply regretful and hurried to wash up, wanting to go to Ganlu Hall to pay her respects and eat the melon earlier.

Unexpectedly, she arrived at Ganlu Hall early in the morning before daybreak, and Aunt Tang stopped her and her sisters-in-law and aunts outside: "The old lady didn't sleep well last night and hasn't gotten up yet. The old master said that everyone should come to pay their respects tomorrow."

This time, even Shi Yao couldn't get in.

Shi Yao could only keep this suspense anxiously and go to Handanyuan with her sister-in-law Fu Nanjun to learn how to be a housekeeper.

In the front yard, the second wife, Shen, was taking care of the eighth son, Shi Minghui.

She had heard about her nephews' absurdity before, but this was the first time she witnessed it with her own eyes.

When she heard that the seventh and eighth brothers had fled out of the capital just so that the eighth brother could see the girl from the Ge family, she was furious.

She was full of rage early in the morning. When the maid came to ask her when she would have breakfast, she waved her hands and said, "I am so angry that I can't eat. Tell them to leave. Let's also leave the Eighth Master's breakfast. I see that he can't eat since he didn't get what he wanted."

The maid murmured her agreement.

The pendulum clock in the corner made regular mechanical sounds, and the second wife became more and more annoyed as she sat there.

Why did the Duke's Mansion, which was once prosperous and flourishing, become dilapidated?

Clearly, the daughters-in-law and nieces-in-law had prophetic dreams, and it was time for the Shi family to make great strides and move to a higher level. However, they were like water ghosts, dragging the big ship of the Shi family down.

Shen thought about it carefully and couldn't help but smile coldly.

Isn’t he a water ghost?

The female ghost who drowned on the Shi family’s boat in the dream came to seek revenge on the men of the Shi family in reality!

At the corner, Shi Minghui gradually woke up.

The maid reported to Shen, who walked to the head of Shi Minghui's bed and sat on a round stool. She first reached out to tuck the corner of Shi Minghui's quilt, then asked with concern, "Brother Hui, are you feeling better?"

Shi Minghui was immersed in his own nightmare: in the dream, he heard the news that Ge Qiuheng had left Beijing, and he hurried to find her. She was under tight security, so he could only sneak into the post station at night and get into her room.

He asked her, "Have you also had prophetic dreams?"

Although Ge Qiuheng was furious, she looked him in the eye and answered him, "Yes."

Shi Minghui felt desperate at that moment: "In my dream, you are my wife."

Ge Qiuheng was silent for a while, then nodded and admitted, "Yes."

Shi Minghui's eyes were red, and he couldn't help asking, "Then why did you run away from me? Heng Niang, you are my wife, how could you run away from me, how could you marry another man?"

He took a step forward, and Ge Qiuheng quickly pulled out a dagger from under the pillow, quickly unsheathed it, and pointed the tip of the knife at Shi Minghui. Half of his brain was calm, and the other half was terrified. He shouted in a low voice:

"Shi Minghui! Don't come over here. If you come close to me again, I will be rude!"

Shi Minghui looked at the dagger, smiled indifferently, and took a step forward while dragging his broken leg. Ge Qiuheng slashed at him coldly and ruthlessly.

A wound immediately appeared on Shi Minghui's face and blood gushed out.

He felt the warm liquid dripping down his face. He stood there in a daze, raised his hand and touched it. The bright red blood made him completely stunned. He raised his eyes in disbelief and asked, "You hurt me?"

Ge Qiuheng sneered, "You have ruined my reputation. It is not too much for me to kill you! If I was not worried that your Shi family would bite our Ge family like a mad dog, I would have cut your throat long ago! Shi Minghui, remember, we broke off our friendship on the day of the cancellation of the engagement! In this life, I never want to have anything to do with you again!"

The blood on Shi Minghui's face dripped onto the ground. As the blood flowed away, he felt the warmth in his heart also draining away.

It's getting colder and colder.

He was shivering with cold.

"Why? Heng Niang, why? In my dream, what did I do to you? Why are you so heartless to me?"

Ge Qiuheng stared at him warily and said in disgust, "You still ask me why? I told you a thousand times, ten thousand times, and you still ask me why! Shi Minghui, you really have no heart. Leaving you is the best decision I have ever made in my life."

Shi Minghui's heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife, and he slowly remembered her words before: "Is it because of Zhuzhu?"

"It's because of her, and even more because of you! Get out! Shi Minghui, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless!" When Ge Qiuheng heard the word "Zhuzhu", he vomited reflexively and felt a dull pain in his stomach.

Deeply buried memories are about to be revived.

Shi Minghui saw her anger and grief, took a step forward and was about to go forward to comfort her, but Ge Qiuheng suddenly stabbed at him again.

His brain was like a mess, but his instincts from years of martial arts training were still there, and he dodged.

Unexpectedly, Ge Qiuheng jumped off the bed, chased him and slashed at him, each blow aimed at his vital points. As she chased him, she cried angrily, "I have retreated again and again, and I have been hiding from you until I left Beijing, but you still keep chasing me! Shi Minghui, you won't let me live, so I will kill you first!"

Shi Minghui was dragging his broken leg and had difficulty moving, and he was stabbed twice in the back.

The servants outside heard the noise, broke in, and pulled the crazy Ge Qiuheng away.

Then the furious Ning Yuanhou captured him and Shi Mingchen who was hiding in the next room. He beat them both up, tied them up, and sent them back to the capital overnight.

Shi Minghui completely ignored the pain in his body and screamed, "I won't leave! Mother Heng! Qiu Heng! Qiu Heng, if you want to leave, can you take me with you?

Let's elope, leave the capital, cut off all ties with the Shi and Ge families, find a place where no one knows us, and start over, just the two of us, just us and our children... wuwuwu!"
