The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 20 Horse Riding
When I came back from Aunt Liu, I didn't bring my burden with me. After all, there are other maids in my room. If someone with a heart sees me, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.

It's just that when I think about leaving the Murong Mansion, I still feel a little bit sad. After all, the days I stayed in the mansion were quite happy, especially my two elder sisters, who treated me sincerely. When I think of Aunt Liu As I said, I will arrange a corpse to pretend to be me, so that the people in the house will mistakenly think that I am dead, so I feel sorry for them.

However, I am Zhou Ning after all, even though I have a relatively comfortable life now, I cannot forget the pain of losing a child and killing someone for death.

When I got back to the house, I saw that Qilan was tidying up the house. Seeing me coming back, I immediately stopped what I was doing and came up to help me take off my cloak.

When I see Qilan, I always think of Qilan back then, after all, they have somewhat similar looks.

I turned my head to look at Qilan and asked tentatively, "Qilan, how old are you this year?"

Hearing my question, Qilan naturally said respectfully, "Your servant is twelve."

twelve?

I looked her up and down in some surprises. This 12-year-old girl looked older than me, but she was able to do any kind of work, and she seemed to have been in the mansion for many years.

"What did you do at your grandmother's place? How old did you enter the mansion?"

Seeing me asking this question, I felt a sense of sadness in Qilan's face, and I saw her red eyes and said: "When I was seven years old, I was sold into the mansion by my stepmother. Fortunately, the old lady took me in and kept her here." Do some chores in the courtyard, but because the servants are the youngest, they are often bullied by other sisters. A few days ago, the old lady arranged for the servants to be selected by you, Miss San. It is the most inferior, everyone wants to climb high and become your personal maid, Miss San, this servant thought that he must have no hope, but Miss San, you are the only one who has taken a fancy to this servant, this servant is sincerely grateful to you, must be good Serving you!"

This little girl, I just asked a simple question, but I didn't expect to hear so many bitter things.

However, after all, I was a drag on Qilan in the previous life, and I don't know whether the Qilan next to me in this life is really loyal to me or just obeying others, but now I'm pretending to be indifferent.

"You said you were often bullied, but what proof do you have? Why did such a bastard happen to my Murong Mansion?"

Seeing me asking this, Qilan's tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Miss San, does this mean that you don't trust slaves?"

Hearing this, I didn't respond to her, but I saw her roll up her sleeves on her own, and ugly scars were exposed.

"Miss San, the scars on my arms are all from being beaten by my sisters, not only on my arms, but also on my legs and back."

When Qilan said these words, I could clearly feel her body trembling, perhaps it was caused by the fear in recalling the past encounters.

However, remembering that I will leave in a few days, I need someone to take care of me, and I have already left Qilan and passed away alone. In this life, although I know that this Qilan is not that Qilan, it is inevitable in my heart. There will still be a tinge of pity for her.

I reached out and helped Qilan up.

"Don't cry, I was just asking casually. Now that you have become my maid, no one dares to bully you like this anymore. If there are still people who dare to do this, I will definitely support you."

My tone softened, but I was conflicted in my heart. I didn't know whether I should take Qilan out of the mansion together, but I had to ask Aunt Liu before making a decision. After all, Aunt Liu had been in Murong Mansion for many years. , of course they can find out Qilan's background.

Seeing what I said, Qilan cried even more. Seeing this, I looked at her funny and said, "You're still crying, Nuo, I just brought back some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from Aunt Liu's house, and I'll give you all of them." , stop crying!"

As I spoke, I handed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Qilan, but Qilan choked and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said, "My servant just thinks that Miss San is a kind master, and you are really kind to my servant." gone."

Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but shook my head with a smile.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, wipe away your tears. A good person is crying into tears."

Seeing what I said, Qilan nodded while eating, "Thank you, Miss San, I have never eaten such a delicious osmanthus cake before!"

While she was eating, she still had this contented expression on her face. Looking at her like this, I am afraid that what she just said was not a lie.

After that, I lived peacefully in the mansion for a few more days.

One day before Murong Qingfeng enters the palace, Murong Qingqing and I came to her room together.

At this time, none of the three of us brought our maids with us. After all, it was the last day in Murong Mansion, and I was really reluctant to part with my two older sisters.

"Eldest sister, you are going to enter the palace tomorrow, and my second sister and I came to see you early this morning, thinking that we could accompany you out of the mansion. After you enter the palace, there will be no chance to see the outside world again." .”

When I said these words, I felt a little uncomfortable, and Murong Qingfeng also had a slight sadness on his face at this time.

Murong Qingqing has always been pure and straightforward, now her eyes are red, but she is holding back tears and said: "Eldest sister, you once said that you will teach the third sister how to ride a horse, let's teach the third sister how to ride a horse today. It's still early, no one would expect us to get up early in the morning, let's go."

Hearing what Murong Qingqing said, Murong Qingfeng also laughed.

"That's right, I said that I want to teach my third sister how to ride a horse!"

After all, the few of us changed into men's clothes, and sneaked out of the mansion early in the morning through the secret passage in Murong Qingfeng's boudoir.

In the teaching field, Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing walked over each leading a horse, and there was another horse tied in the stable, which seemed to be prepared for me.

"Third sister, go and bring the horse here first. This horse has the same temperament as a human. As long as you treat it well, it will naturally feel your heart."

Hearing what Murong Qingfeng said, I boldly went over to lead the horse, and sure enough, just like what Murong Qingfeng said, the horse really didn't resist.

Murong Qingqing smiled and said: "As the children of the Murong family, we should grow up on horseback. Our father is the general who protects the country. We don't want to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. At least we don't want to be a female worker. A woman who can only read poetry."

Hearing what Murong Qingqing said, I looked at her and said with a smile: "Second sister, don't cover yourself up, you are just lazy, you only like to wield knives and guns, but you don't like to read and practice calligraphy. It's pretty strict to discipline you here, otherwise, when we entered the palace a month ago, you might not even be able to compose a poem!"

Seeing what I said, Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing each laughed, especially Murong Qingqing, she said with a smile: "Third sister, since you know, why bother to expose it, I really hate it!"

Although Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing taught me how to ride a horse together, in a short period of time, they were able to gallop freely on the horseback, but I still could only take a leisurely walk on the horse, but compared I couldn't make it up, and I made a lot of progress.

In the east, the sun is getting worse and the spring breeze is blowing. In a blink of an eye, the winter season has long passed.

Just as we were about to return home, suddenly I saw a man riding a fine horse not far away.

The man was getting closer and closer, facing the sunlight, as if walking out of the sun.

"No, it's Prince Li!"

Murong Qingfeng frowned and said, while Murong Qingqing quickly embraced me behind her.

"Third sister, don't be afraid, with me and eldest sister here, I will never let Prince Li bully you!"

Seeing Murong Qingqing's nervous appearance, I felt sore, I never told her that the day when Murong Qingfeng enters the palace tomorrow is also the time when I leave the residence.

"Get out of the way, you have to talk to Miss San alone for a while!"

Yu Wenli jumped and got off the horse. He was still holding the horse's rein in his hand, but looked at us indifferently.

"Prince Li, tomorrow is the day I enter the palace. While there is still a chance, we will take our third sister out of the mansion to play. Do you want to deprive our sisters of the last time together?"

Murong Qingfeng looked at Yu Wenli coldly, but saw Yu Wenli staring at me firmly and said: "Miss San, do you want me to snatch you here by myself, or come here by yourself!"

Suddenly hearing Yu Wenli's arrogant tone, I was taken aback. In fact, thinking about leaving tomorrow, I suddenly felt that Yu Wenli treated me pretty well. Although he often did some outrageous things, he never He has done bad things to me, even when I am in trouble, he will come forward to help me. "

I turned my head and glanced at my two older sisters, then smiled and said, "Elder Sister and Second Sister, you guys go back to the mansion first, I will talk to Prince Li alone."

See, after I said that, the two of them stepped aside just now.

It's just that I saw that they only took a few steps back and didn't go far, so I immediately smiled and said: "Elder Sister and Second Sister, don't worry about me, let's go first."

The secret base of the three of us sisters is very close to the Murong Mansion, and I know the way back, so I can go back alone, and I don’t think it’s dangerous to be with Yu Wenli, since he helped the three of us to keep it safe before. I believe that this time he will definitely not tell the matter.

After Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing left, I boldly walked up to Yu Wenli.

"I don't know if Prince Li came here by coincidence or on purpose?"

I spoke first, but saw Yu Wenli staring at me firmly and said: "If the Queen Mother hadn't told me the truth, how long are you going to keep it from me? You hate me so much and don't want to marry me?"

When Yu Wenli said this, I looked at him in surprise, but I forgot that Yu Wenli might not go to Yu Wenjin to ask the truth, but he could find out from the Queen Mother. After all, as the Queen Mother, he is naturally qualified Go ask Yu Wenjin.
