164 An Opportunity
Yu Kangtai, Yu Sheng, and Yu Pingping stayed by Mrs. Jiang’s bed for the entire night. Only when Mrs. Jiang was completely asleep did the three of them walk out of the house.
At this mont, the sky had already turned bright.
All three of them were very tired.
Yu Kangtai rubbed his temples and spoke to his children.
“Today is the day of Niaoniao’s wedding. We will be busy later. While there’s still so ti, the two of you go back and sleep for a while.”
Yu Sheng was worried. “Is Sister not back yet?”
Yu Kangtai said, “I’ll go take a look. At this ti, no matter how playful she is, she should be back.”
He thought that when he saw Yu Niaoniao, he would definitely teach her a lesson. How could she be so willful at her age? Today was the day of her wedding, but she still had the mood to run out and play. She did not know how to take the big picture into consideration!
When he arrived at the Green Jade Residence, he saw that it was empty.
Not only did Yu Niaoniao not return, but even Dang Gui had disappeared.
This ti, Yu Kangtai was finally a little anxious.
He imdiately ordered the porter to be called.
“Did you see Missy and Dang Gui last night?”
The gatekeeper answered truthfully, “I only saw Dang Gui go out last night and didn’t see Missy.”
Yu Kangtai’s frown deepened.
Previously, Yu Niaoniao had slipped out of the residence through the dog hole, but the dog hole was already blocked. There were people guarding a few doors. If Yu Niaoniao wanted to go out, she would definitely alarm the concierge.
Unless she had gone out over the wall.
However, the wall was so high and she did not know Qinggong. In addition, she had food poisoning yesterday and was weak. It was impossible for her to climb over the wall.
So how did she leave the Yu residence?
Yu Kangtai was puzzled.
He said to the butler, “Go to the Imperial Capital and see if their people have seen Niaoniao?”
The butler agreed and hurried away.
... .
In a quiet courtyard in the city.
Shen Junzhi was about to drink the dicine when he saw the servant walking in quickly.
The servant whispered, “Young Master, the spy we sent to keep an eye on Che Xuekun sent news that Che Xuekun sneaked into the Yu Residence last night and kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Yu Residence.”
Shen Junzhi’s hand trembled, and a few drops of dicine spilled out.
He set the bowl down and asked in a low voice.
“Is she injured?”
The servant said, “I don’t think so.”
Shen Junzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
The servant continued to report, ” As soon as the city gate opened, Che Xuekun disguised himself as a rchant and left the Jade Capital through the east city gate.”
Originally, every city gate was guarded by Eagle Guards. However, because today was the wedding day of Duke Lang, the Eagle Guards gathered at the Duke’s Mansion early in the morning, preparing to accompany Duke Lang to pick up the bride.
Therefore, the defense near the city gate relaxed a lot, which allowed Che Xuekun to find an opportunity.
The servant asked carefully as he observed the young master’s expression.
“Our people are still following Che Xuekun. What do you think we should do next? Should we withdraw the people? Or stop them?”
Shen Junzhi stood up. “Prepare the carriage. I want to go out of the city myself.”
The servant imdiately panicked.
“Young Master, you’re not in good health and should not over-exert yourself. If there is anything you need to do, just tell us.”
Shen Junzhi had already made a decision and walked out.
The servant hurriedly reminded him, “Young Master, you haven’t drunk your dicine!”
Shen Junzhi replied without looking back.
“I’ll drink it when I get back.”
... .
In the carriage, Yu Niaoniao looked at the gleaming dagger and involuntarily shrank back.
However, she decided that should deliberately pretend to be disdainful and mock him rcilessly.
“You knew that Zhen Xixi was pregnant, but you still inford her. You forced her to commit suicide to protect your safety. In the end, you’re the real murderer who killed Zhen Xixi!”
Her words hit Che Xuekun where it hurt, making him livid.
“Shut up!”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Did I say anything wrong? You don’t love Zhen Xixi at all. You only love yourself! How dare you co to for revenge? If you really want to avenge Zhen Xixi, you should commit suicide on the spot!”
Che Xuekun was furious and completely lost his mind.
His eyes were red as he raised his dagger and stabbed at Yu Niaoniao’s heart!l
“I told you to shut up. Can’t you hear ?!”
...
Yu Niaoniao had been waiting for this mont!
She bent her knees and kicked Che Xuekun hard in the knee.
In pain, Che Xuekun lost his balance and fell awkwardly.
The dagger fell from his hand.
Yu Niaoniao crawled over on all fours, grabbed the dagger, reversed the blade, and quickly cut the rope around her wrist.
Che Xuekun reacted quickly.
He endured the pain and got up. He grabbed Yu Niaoniao’s ankle and forcefully dragged her back.
“You stupid bitch, how dare you plot against ?!”
Yu Niaoniao swung the dagger back.
The blade cut through Che Xuekun’s arm, and his skin imdiately split open. Blood flowed out, and he scread in pain.
The man in charge of driving the carriage heard the commotion and hurriedly reined in, stopping the carriage.
...
He pulled out the sword under the car and reached out to push open the door. When he saw the inside of the car clearly, he could not help but be shocked. He hurriedly swung his sword at Yu Niaoniao.
At this mont, Yu Niaoniao had already cut the rope around her ankle.
She waved her arm and threw sothing at the man while shouting.
“Moo! Take my unique hidden weapon!”
The man was shocked. He thought that she had hidden so hidden weapon and hurriedly put away his sword to dodge.
He waited for the object to land with a crunch.
Only then did he see that it was just a woman’s silver earring.
As for Yu Niaoniao herself, she had already seized this mont to escape through the car window.
The man imdiately realized that he had been tricked!
He was furious. His face was red.
“Damn woman, I’m going to kill her!”
Che Xuekun held his bleeding arm and gritted his teeth. “What are you waiting for? Go after her!”
He had originally thought that Yu Niaoniao was just a delicate young lady. He did not expect her to be so cunning. The two n were fooled by her.
Had he known earlier, he would have killed Yu Niaoniao the mont he caught her!
The man imdiately chased after Yu Niaoniao.
This place was in the forest, and there were dense trees on both sides of the mountain path. After Yu Niaoniao jumped out of the carriage, she imdiately entered the forest.
She knew how to make use of the terrain. The mountains were lush with vegetation and the bushes were as tall as a person. She was petite and was quickly subrged in the dense vegetation.
The man walked around the forest but could not find any traces of Yu Niaoniao.
He was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
What was worse was that he suddenly realized that he was lost!
The terrain in the mountains was complicated. Every tree was similar. Even a local might not be able to find the right direction, let alone a foreigner like him.
He looked at the tall trees that could cover the sky and finally panicked.
Oh no. How was he going to get out?
