51. Chapter 51 Escape

Author: Potato Chips Guaiguai

During this period of time, he suffered a lot in the city to avoid being hunted by the officers and soldiers, but fortunately he still gained something.

I heard that Jiang Yue bought a village in the suburbs and kept a lot of maids and servants. I don't know what mysterious things were put in it.

But this is a good hidden place. Maybe her cousin is hidden there by Jiang Yue. If it is true, then he can rescue his cousin and at the same time get some money from that bitch's bank.

If Zhao Yantang was not there, he would have taken the money and burned the village with fire, so as to teach Jiang Yue a lesson.

After Xiao Liran made the plan, he waited for nightfall and quietly lurked into the village.

Because it is built in the suburbs, there are no entertainment activities, and there are no people around, so people on Zhuangzi usually rest early.

So Xiao Liran slipped into Zhuangzi with almost no effort.

Zhao Yantang stayed in Zhuangzi for more than half a month. When she first recovered from her injuries, she thought the scenery here was beautiful and very nice. But gradually she became bored and it was not as good as the capital.

The people in Zhuangzi's court are all Jiang Yue's people. Apart from serving her on weekdays, they don't even say a word to him.

If she were in the capital, she could go out to watch a show or something if she was bored, but in this quiet place, it would be nice to have two living people.

Really unable to find any fun, she could only play the piano in her room all day long.

But the longer he played, the sadder Zhao Yantang became.

Back in the Xiao Mansion, before anything happened to Xiao Liran, no matter how busy he was every day, he would always come to listen to him playing the piano, and sometimes the two of them would even play a song together.

At that time, she fantasized that one day she would be able to marry her cousin, but now all this has come to nothing.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the force of my hand became heavier involuntarily.

The out-of-tune sound of the piano sounded like an animal cry in the dark night. The servants in the village ignored it, but Xiao Liran felt happy.

"Tang'er, it must be Tang'er's piano sound!"

Xiao Liran, who had not been able to find his direction at first, suddenly smiled and followed the sound of the piano to Zhao Yantang's yard.

The door inside was closed, and there was no one in the yard. Zhao Yantang's plaintive music could only be heard playing alone in the dark night.

Thinking of the letters he received in the prison, Xiao Liran couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened the door and rushed in.

"Tang'er!"

"Cousin?" Zhao Yantang's heart jumped into his throat when he saw the person coming, "Cousin, aren't you in jail? How did you get out?"

She had been under house arrest in this Zhuangzi all these days and had no idea what was going on outside. Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

"Cousin, have you already cleared your grievances and been released?" Zhao Yantang couldn't help but feel happy when she thought of this possibility, "What about Jiang Yue? Have you divorced that bitch?"

Zhao Yantang's continuous questions did not give Xiao Liran a chance to speak.

But this place is not a place to stay for a long time. Xiao Liran grabbed Zhao Yantang's hand: "No, I escaped specially to find you."

"Did you escape from prison?" Zhao Yantang asked in disbelief.

"That's right, cousin, hurry up and pack the valuable things in Jiangyue Village. We will leave the capital tonight!"

As Xiao Liran said that, he started to take things from the room. Zhao Yantang really stood aside and made no move.

Xiao Liran was so happy to see Zhao Yantang that he didn't have any priorities in his movements, and accidentally broke a porcelain bottle.

The two confidants Gu Mo sent to Jiang Yue lived not far away. When they heard the strange noise, they thought it was a thief.

As a result, when I walked in, I found Xiao Liran, a fugitive, planning to escape with Zhao Yantang.

"stop!"

Zhao Yantang was frightened back to her senses by the loud shout. She knew that these two people were Jiang Yue's confidants, and they both had some martial arts skills.

There was no time to think about it, Zhao Yantang only knew that she didn't want her cousin to be caught. In panic, Zhao Yantang rushed towards the two people.

"Cousin, go quickly!"

"Tang'er?" Xiao Liran looked at her in shock.

"Leave me alone and leave quickly!" Zhao Yantang dragged the two people tightly.

Jiang Yue had previously ordered not to hurt Zhao Yantang, so although the two people were extremely disgusted with Zhao Yantang, they did not dare to touch her.

Xiao Liran stopped talking nonsense and went directly through the window with the package containing the money.

By the time the two men chased them out, Xiao Liran had already disappeared into the darkness.

The road was complicated in the dark night, and the two had no choice but to go back to Zhuangzi to lock up Zhao Yantang, and then return to the Duke's Mansion to plead guilty to Jiang Yue.

"Madam, it was because of my subordinate's mishandling that Xiao Liran escaped."

Jiang Yue heard the whole story but didn't have much reaction.

"It's okay. It's not your fault that this happened suddenly. As for Xiao Liran, as long as Zhao Yantang is still here, he will always come back."

Jiang Yue saw that the two of them were covered in mud and knew that they had tried their best.

"You are also tired tonight. Go down and rest first. Zhao Yantang will lock her up first."

"Yes, thank you madam."

After they left, Jiang Yue looked back on Xiao Liran's affairs and was a little surprised.

She expected Xiao Liran's deep love for Zhao Yantang, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yantang still had feelings for Xiao Liran now.

It seems that cooperation with Zhao Yantang is not possible and we have to find another way.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Before Jiang Yue could think of a way, someone from Dali Temple came first.

"Jiang Yue has met all of you, sir. I wonder why you called Jiang Yue here?"

"It's like this, Mrs. Jiang, we are here to ask for someone from you." The leading official said to Jiang Yue respectfully, while quietly sizing her up.

"I wonder who you are talking about?" Jiang Yue asked doubtfully.

"Zhao Yantang, the prince specifically told us before leaving the capital that we should settle Xiao Liran's case as soon as possible and arrest him." When the other party mentioned Gu Mo, his eyes involuntarily looked at Jiang Yue again.

"Now we have found out that this woman is one of the witnesses in this case, and we want to ask her some questions. We heard that she is in the hands of the madam, so we came to disturb the madam."

At this moment, Jiang Yue finally understood the cause and effect.

I will think of the day Gu Mo left. He obviously didn't say anything, but he never thought that he had arranged everything for him secretly.

A feeling of warmth surged into her heart, and she suddenly felt that Gu Mo was not that cold after all. With Dali Temple's help, she believed that the next time Xiao Liran appeared again, he would definitely not be able to escape.

"I see, my lords, wait a moment, I will send someone to bring Zhao Yantang back."
