The sun had set, and twilight came in from below the horizon, spreading out and soon dominating the world alone.
Crunch …..
With an ear-piercing metallic friction sound, the cell door of the Imperial Prison of the Northern Zhenfu Division opened, and from within came out a stubbled and shabby-clothed teenager, the very same Zhu Pingan who had received the holy decree of amnesty and had been relegated to the governor’s office in Jingnan.
The reason why wearing shabby clothes, not because of Zhu Pingan low profile, but Zhu Pingan into the imperial prison to wear the clothes, the imperial prison side can not be found, it is estimated that has long been the people of the Imperial Prison to get out and sold to generate income. The prison side did not expect Zhu Pingan to be able to get out of the prison, not to mention that Zhu Pingan was able to get out of the prison so quickly. It’s not like you can go out in prison clothes, otherwise what’s the difference with escaping from prison, so the jailer rummaged through the box and somehow turned out this worn out clothes from that nook and cranny.
“It’s still the free air outside, exhaling comfortably.”
Zhu Pingan walked out of the gate of the Imperial Prison, stretched his waist a bit, shook his neck, and breathed in the air intoxicatedly.
These days, Sister Li and the others must have been worried, right, it’s better to return to the house quickly to save them from worrying about me again.
Thinking of this, Zhu Pingan did not care to feel the free air, discerned the direction and walked quickly towards Linhuai Marquis’ residence.
When Zhu Pingan jogged all the way back to Marquis Linhuai’s mansion, the night had already filled in, and the curfew was about to start.
“Where did the beggar come from? This is the Marquis Linhuai Mansion, leave quickly.”
Because the night was filled with colour, Zhu Pingan was stubbled and sighing, his body was also much thinner, and the clothes he wore were worn out, the old Zhang, the concierge, did not recognise Zhu Pingan for a moment, and thought that Zhu Pingan was a beggar who had trespassed into the Marquis of Linhuai’s Mansion.
“Cough, Old Zhang, it’s me.”
Zhu Pingan coughed and looked up at the concierge Old Zhang, revealing a trademark naive smiling face.
“The voice is a bit familiar ……You are ……Auntie, you’re the fifth Auntie ……Fifth Aunt Master is back.”
Concierge old Zhang heard Zhu Pingan’s voice, could not help but froze for a moment, perceived the voice is a bit familiar, saw Zhu Pingan face naive smile, suddenly felt that this person is so familiar, rubbed his eyes vigorously to look again, finally recognised Zhu Pingan, excited voice are a bit shaky, did not expect to be taken away by the brocade guards to the Imperial Prison of the Auntie, but actually came out so quickly, could not help but shouted out loud in joy.
The imperial prison is a place like hell, after being caught in, I heard that no one can come out alive.
I didn’t expect the aunt to come out, the aunt is really powerful, more powerful than that great monkey in the Palace of Heaven.
Old Zhang, the concierge, excitedly opened the door to the mansion for Zhu Pingan and invited him into the Marquis Linhuai Mansion.
Zhu Pingan entered the Linhuai Marquis’ residence, spoke to the excited concierge, and then headed to the backyard without stopping.
It was already late in the day, but all the courtyards of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion had large red lanterns hanging at their entrances, and were brightly lit, with the aroma of wine and food as well as laughter coming out of them from time to time, making it a worldly household with a lively atmosphere.
Compared to the lively courtyards, the Garden of Honour is much colder and quieter, and not a single sound of laughter can be heard.
Compared to the aroma of wine and food in the other courtyards, what comes out of Jingxiangyuan is the smell of medicine.
Marquis Linhuai’s sixth young lady had her dinner at the old madam’s place, passed by Jingxiang garden, and returned to the garden she lived in, the maid goldfinch and silver pigeon played two lanterns, and immediately smelled the strong smell of tonic in Jingxiang garden.
“Such a big smell of soup medicine, it is also difficult for the people of Jingxiang Garden to suffer ……”Goldfinch whispered.
“So cold and quiet ah, as if no one lives, usually their courtyard is most lively.”Silver Dove followed and added.
“Cluck ~~ let her rise again, high and proud like a peacock, obviously a countryside soil girl, but live than the palace princess are noble, now well, Langjun into the imperial prison, they also become a sick chicken, all of a sudden was beaten back to the original shape ……Hmph, let’s see how she can still put up a stink in front of me.”
Linhuai Marquis House Sixth Miss pulled out an embroidered handkerchief to cover her agitated nose and small mouth, a pair of eyes glanced at Jingxiang Garden, thinking of the past days when she was suppressed by Li Shu, she couldn’t help but giggle out, full of gloating.
“She said it’s a young lady, but it’s just a country maid, how can it compare to the young lady, the young lady is most liked by the old madam, the old madam knows that the young lady likes the Pink Harmony Jade Clouds Satin, when the satin was divided this day, the old madam specially left it all to the young lady. And Miss’s fiancé son-in-law – Xu Xiao Gongshi mobilised to the Ministry of households, with Wei Guo Gong’s former friend Zhang Daoren care, Xu Xiao Gongshi’s future is unlimited, said that the promotion will be able to promote the official. That one was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, the Imperial Prison is what place, eat people do not spit out bones, was locked into that, where can still come out alive. He took the examination and what’s the use of it, there is nothing to follow, it is not to say that the head will fall off, which can be compared with the Xu Xiao Gongshi.”
Silver pigeon is a heart-eyed girl, she knows what her own young lady likes to hear, so she deliberately put down Li Shu and Zhu Pingan, to cater to the preferences of the fifth young lady of Linhuai Marquis House.
“Hun said, what fiancé son-in-law, shame on you.”
Linhuai Marquis House Sixth Miss spat lightly in her mouth and scolded, but her face looked like she had eaten honey, sounding more like praise and encouragement than scolding, a typical heart and mouth, waiting for the girl to continue to say it.
“The slave girl is not muddy said it, the previous Wei Guo Gongfu have come to take the Geng sticker, combined with the birthdate eight characters it.”Silver pigeon did not live up to the expectations of the sixth young lady, around the topic continued to say down.
“Miss is really really blessed person it ……”Goldfinch also followed and chimed in.
Goldfinch and Silver Dove a burst of boasts, Linhuai Marquis House Sixth Miss said the heart blossomed, happy, pretty face rosy with ripe peaches like.
The three of them were just talking, when they suddenly saw a person coming from the opposite side, quickly stepping into the light range of the lanterns and appearing in their line of sight – a young man with stubble sighs and tattered clothes.
Man?
How did a man come in the backyard? And in tattered clothes? It couldn’t be that he was sneaking in with mischievous intentions, could it?
“Ah……”
The Sixth Miss of Linhuai Marquis House was terrified and couldn’t help but let out a scream.
The two maids, Goldfinch and Silver Dove, also screamed right after her, the lantern in their hands shaking like sifting chaff.
“I’m going!”
Zhu Pingan on the opposite side was all taken aback by their screams.
“Huh?”
The screaming Sixth Miss heard Zhu Pingan’s voice and perceived it to be a bit familiar, and the screaming from her small mouth couldn’t help but stop for a moment.
Looking along the trembling lantern light, she saw Zhu Pingan’s face and recognised it despite the stubble sighing.
It can not be?
Sixth Miss rubbed her eyes and took another closer look to make sure she wasn’t wrong, it really was Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan had come out of the imperial prison!
Sixth Miss froze, couldn’t believe her eyes, the whole person was like being poured a head of cold water, just now the mood was still blossoming and happy, instantly terrible, only to find the superiority, all of a sudden swept away, and thought of the old days when she was suppressed by Li Shu.
