Xie Jingxi didn't really understand what Zheng Peiru was thinking now. It wasn't wrong to admire someone, and it wasn't wrong to give up on something for him, but to be tormented like this caused him to be at a loss as to what to say.
What a dignified girl she was before. Among all the noble ladies in the capital, she was one of the noblest and noblest. She looked like she was following her aunt, but looking at this girl who had to hide herself in order to live, it was both infuriating and compassionate.
Xie Jingxi tried her best to speak to her calmly, "Miss Zheng, do you know that your whereabouts have been watched?"
Zheng Peiru lifted his head abruptly, then lowered it again. "So what?"
"How is it? Or do you think that as long as you find a husband that you like, you will be able to live the life you want, and feel that you're not worth mentioning in front of your love? Of course, you can also say that your family is currently in a difficult situation, and the fact that you left your family will be the first blade they'll come straight at you, so I can very clearly tell you this, if you run away once more, the one who will find you won't be me, nor Shen Huanzhi. I believe that you won't be found by me, right? "
Xie Jingxi's tone was not heavy, but her words were spoken without mercy. If she still refused to give up, then she would really not blame anyone for giving up on her. After hearing Xie Jingxi's words, Zheng Peiru's head drooped even lower as she clenched her fists tightly. Mrs. Gu, I know you are a sensible person, do you know how it feels to like someone? Do you know how desperate I was when I found out that they wanted to marry me to Second Prince? At that time, one of them thought about what I meant. Yes, I know that leaving home like this will make things difficult for me, but aren't they only treating me as a tool to protect the family's interests? Why would they treat me with sincerity?
Xie Jingxi took a deep breath. No one could understand this feeling better than her, but in the end, all of the girls from different families came here like this. It was not wrong to choose from this way, but the prerequisite was that you have to know what's important and what's wrong, Miss Zheng.
Zheng Peiru's eyes froze for a second, and then she nodded almost indiscernibly. Xie Jingxi then said: "But he still brought you back right?"
Zheng Peiru started crying even more. Xie Jingxi stood in front of her, "Miss Zheng, honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I admire your courage to dare love and hate, but do you know what his intentions are? Even if you want to run away, it should be with both sides at the very least. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were to not find him successfully, what if you met a bad person on the way here, or if Shen Huanzhi was not as good as you think she is, and decided to sell you out, it's not wrong for you to pursue your true love, but this is not the way things are going? "
Zheng Peiru immediately began to cry, Xie Jingxi knew that her thoughts were right, and she no longer blamed her, changing her topic: "I did not inform your family this time, not only for you, but for Shen Huanzhi as well, I believe you are well aware that your family did not accept Shen Huanzhi with such an identity, as you wish, your family did not say that you are dead, and had concealed it for you all along, which means that they will not abandon you, and of course they will not accept you, so you can imagine, once knows that you are running away from home, will Shen Huanzhi still be alive?"
Zheng Peiru sobbed, "But Mrs. Gu, once I go back now, I won't be free anymore. Even if Huanzhi doesn't accept me, I don't want to marry anyone other than him. So do you think that my return will be the same as before?"
Miss Zheng, maybe you won't listen to the words I'm advising you right now, but I have to say, giving up doesn't have any meaning, if you want to do it, you have to learn to fight for it correctly, and the condition is that you have to have your own ability, the Zheng Family hasn't given up on you, and you have the obligation to protect the interests of the clan. At least, they have raised you for so many years, so before you could settle the score, you don't have the right to pursue equality.
Xie Jingxi was done with what she said, no matter how much more persistent and unrepentant she was, she could only tie him up, after working hard for one day, Xie Jingxi was basically having a huge headache, she instructed Fang Yu to take care of Zheng Peiru, and while there were still a few more hours left, she took advantage of it and quickly rushed back tomorrow morning.
Since the people from the Shen Family wanted to use Zheng Peiru as a topic, they would definitely use him as a demon halfway. They would not allow Zheng Peiru to return to the Zheng Family peacefully like this, so they still had plans on how they should go along the way, thus, early in the morning on the next day, Xie Jingxi would discuss it with Fang Yu.
"Fang Yu, do you know any ways to disguise yourself? There's no need for it to be too complicated, but Zheng Peiru definitely cannot be recognized by others. "
Fang Yu thought for a while, then replied: "Madam, I do understand a bit about disguising, but do you want to separate us? If there is anything along the way, wouldn't we be wrongly accused?"
"No." "If we can't split up, then we will disguise Miss Zheng as my little girl. If someone asks on the road, then they will say that we are going out of the city into a temple to burn incense, so there shouldn't be any big problems. I don't believe that the people from Shen Family can act so arrogantly halfway to kill someone."
Although she said that, but just in case, she still sent a carriage to take her leave before Xie Jingxi's carriage left. Fang Yu disguised Zheng Peiru's appearance, and if one did not carefully look at him, there were some similarities between them. Just like that, the three of them dressed up as if they had gone out to enjoy the fragrance, and without daring to stop for even a second, they headed towards the capital city.
Before leaving Tianjin, everything on the way was smooth sailing, even Xie Jingxi felt that it was a bit too peaceful, her heart became even more uneasy, the further she was from the capital, the further away she was from the Shen Family, could it be that they would make a move there?
"Fang Yu, are you sure no one is following us?"
"Madam, don't worry. As long as someone is following us, our people will definitely discover that there's still no one following us. Perhaps Young Master Shen has arranged everything properly. That small courtyard might be very safe."
Xie Jingxi muttered to herself, but before she could speak, Zheng Peiru suddenly spoke up from the side: "Mrs. Gu, I have implicated all of you, and am truly sorry. Why don't you let me go, if it involves you and the Lord Gu, wouldn't it be my fault?"
Xie Jingxi sighed, "Miss Zheng, if I leave you behind, then everything I did before would be for nothing. As long as you cooperate with me and don't speak nonsense, you don't have to worry about anything else."
Zheng Peiru lowered her head and did not say anything, seeing that she was still cooperating, Xie Jingxi finally had a plan, as long as they could smoothly enter the city, everything would be fine.
However, just before they entered the capital, they encountered a small problem. The horse carriage that was originally galloping at full speed suddenly slowed down, Fang Yu looked outside and said: "Madam, someone is stopping us, it seems like the horse carriage in front has broken down. There is a woman obstructing them in the middle of the road, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to leave."
"Even if it's not good to leave, you still have to leave!" Xie Jingxi immediately ordered the carriage driver, "Avoid that lady and don't stop, pay attention to not harming others!"
Xie Jingxi felt that something was up, as long as she stopped the car, it would definitely bring about trouble, no matter how much she thought about it, she could not stop, it would be even more troublesome if she met someone she knew.
The three people inside the carriage immediately fell over. There was no need to even look, the woman must have risked her life to force the carriage to stop. No one knew if this was a taxi call or a taxi robbery, how could she force herself to sell the carriage like this?
Fang Yu took out a human skin mask from nowhere and placed it on her face. This girl was really clever, she knew that they had to hide her identity when they met, and when the carriage came to a stop, the carriage driver shouted from the outside: "This lady is too reckless, how could she crash into people's carriages.
The girl spoke up, "I'm really sorry, but we were forced to do so and did not mean to make things difficult for the patron in the carriage." The girl spoke up, "I'm really sorry, but we were forced to make things difficult for the patron in the carriage and not to make things difficult for the patron in the carriage.
The moment the young lady opened her mouth, Xie Jingxi's heart was filled with unhappiness. Not because of anything else, but the young lady's accent sounded like that of a Sichuan girl, then, he thought about Shen Rui's second wife. The identity of the lady outside could be indisputable, she was most likely Shen Rui's second wife.
Xie Jingxi glanced at Fang Yu, and Fang Yu immediately closed the curtain, using an unknown accent to speak to the lady outside: "This lady is truly sorry, my wife has an emergency and is rushing to the capital to seek medical treatment, I can see that you are not in the same direction as us, so I am sorry but I can't help, if your wife trusts us, when we enter the city, she will definitely inform your family members to come and save you, is that alright?"
Fang Yu could really make it up, but she didn't know how she noticed that the other party's direction was different. After saying it like a cannonball for a while, she didn't know if the other party understood her words, so she decided to help him, "So it's decided, I will definitely inform someone to come and save the two of you."
After Fang Yu finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage, and personally led the carriage driver away, leaving the young lady behind to stare at the carriage blankly.
