Shen Qingwan had been imprisoned inside the wooden house for a day or two now, and even if she had a calm heart, she wouldn't be able to continue. Putting aside what happened to Lian Yun, whether she would be saved or whether she would save her, she could not place all her hopes on someone else.
She had to save herself! At this moment, her arms were tied behind her back and she was unable to move. Since the maidservant hadn't come in yet, she must still be out on business. Right now was the perfect opportunity.
Her sharp eyes scanned the room. The decorations were very simple, there was nothing sharp that could cut off her rope. When his gaze stopped on the vase on the table, he suddenly thought of something and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
There was also a rope tied to her foot, so her movements were not nimble. She could only rely on her body's balance to slowly move towards the table. He had to observe the movement outside the window as he moved, in case the servant girl suddenly came back and saw through his plan. It would not be so easy to escape.
It wasn't hard, though, to have an idea, and at the table she tried to swing her body to slam into the vase.
With a "pa da" sound, the vase broke into pieces on the ground, turning into small, sharp pieces.
She raised her eyebrows with joy and anticipation in her eyes. However, she still didn't forget to observe the outside world from the corner of her eyes. She needed to be even more careful at this moment. He bent down and sat down, feeling for a piece of porcelain about the right size. He was about to cut the rope when the door opened.
His heart was in his throat, as if he had been discovered doing something bad. However, she could only calm her breathing as she tried her best to calmly face the servant girl's questioning and scrutinizing gaze.
He covered the panic and unease in his eyes and tightly gripped the porcelain piece hidden behind his back.
"What are you doing?" Looking at the shattered vase and porcelain pieces on the floor, she sat awkwardly on the ground, looking even more dissatisfied. "Such a big commotion!"
From the maid's point of view, Shen Qingwan's plan was to use her voice to attract the attention of the surrounding people. Originally, she was too lazy to bother with her, but now, she did not have any plans to investigate further …
Shen Qingwan pretended to be calm as she turned her head away and complained, "I was not careful."
Even though she explained it this way, there was still a bit of investigation in the maid's eyes, and there was some doubt in her words.
The more nervous she became, the calmer her expression became. She glared at her coldly and said in an overbearing tone, "You're tying my arms and legs and even drinking water is troublesome. Now that you've broken a cheap vase, you still want to show me your face?"
She was sure that she was useful to her, and she did not want to be wronged. She might as well pretend to be a proud and arrogant person.
Hearing this, the doubt in the young maid's eyes lessened. However, his resentment grew, but Qing Wan didn't care. "Leave. I don't want to see you."
"You!" That servant girl seemed to have never expected her to be so arrogant and rude.
"What is it? Even if I'm tied up by you, I still have a temper. " Her eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.
The maidservant wanted to go up and teach her a lesson, but when he thought of the matters that had occurred, he suppressed his anger. He fiercely glared at her and heavily injured the door.
Shen Qingwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after she left. She shifted her position and started cutting the rope. She couldn't see behind her so it wasn't very smooth. It took a while before she managed to cut it open.
Carefully putting away the rope, he climbed onto the window to observe the scene outside. The maid no longer seemed to be guarding the outside of the house. If he rushed out now, he might be able to escape.
Even if she couldn't succeed, she still had to try. Shen Qingwan didn't choose to go through the main entrance but went out through the side window. She hadn't eaten much in the past two days, so her strength had naturally decreased a little, but this didn't stop her from escaping.
She started to run away, but no one seemed to be following her. She felt uneasy and wanted to find the end of the forest as soon as possible. However, before she could even run two steps, a maid angrily shouted from behind her, "Good, you! You actually dare to run! "
Shen Qingwan frowned, her heart sank, she had actually been discovered! However, what she could do now was to try to escape with her fastest speed. However, how could her physical strength compare to that of a person who practiced martial arts for many years?
The maidservant quickly grabbed her shoulders, causing her to stop in his tracks.
"You dare to run!"
"Let go!" She tried her best to free herself, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't. Her voice was filled with anger and anxiety. "What are you trying to do with me!?" He kept her in the cabin for two days without making a sound.
She didn't care what she said at all. The servant girl held her hands behind her back and dragged her towards the wooden hut.
But just at that moment, the bamboo leaves in the forest slightly moved. It was not as gentle as the gentle breeze, but instead, it emitted a fierce force.
Shen Qingwan also noticed that something was amiss. She raised her head to look around her surroundings and naturally felt that something was amiss. Just as she was about to hurry up and head for the wooden house, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Her snow-white clothes fluttered in the wind. The man looked back at Shen Qing Wan who was standing behind the maidservant. The corner of his mouth was raised and he looked extremely gentle. In a moment, all the colors in the world seemed to have lost their color.
"Long time no see." His voice was also very pleasant to the ears, causing Shen Qingwan to be stunned for a moment.
He was overjoyed. It was that mysterious man. He didn't have time to think about why he was here, but he immediately felt at ease.
"Who are you?" The servant girl also reacted and stared at the man in front of her. Although he had a gentle temperament, it made her feel that he was not simple.
Quan Zou ignored the maidservant, his gaze never left Shen Qingwan's body. He saw that her face was a little pale and her lips were dry. He pursed her lips invisibly and her eyes dimmed.
He did not give her any time to react. He had already made his move before the maid saw clearly. The maid abruptly stretched out his hand, but he suddenly discovered that Shen Qingwan was no longer behind his.
When she looked up, she saw that the man was holding her in his arms, smiling at her in an absolutely possessive manner. Before Shen Qingwan could react, she felt a wave of dizziness and she was already by his side.
"I won't play with you today." These words were said to the maid. He was stunned for a moment, but it was enough for him.
Taking advantage of this free time, he hugged Shen Qingwan's slim body and jumped up. When she realized it, it would be time for him to settle down. What happened just now seemed unreal as if it was a dream. It was actually so simple that it was saved!
Ye Zichen looked at the smiling man in front of him in surprise, while his heart was filled with gratitude. This was not the first time he had received help from Ye Zichen.
"Thank you, Young Master Quan, for saving me." Unfortunately, she didn't know his identity. She only knew that he was called Quan.
A gentle smile slowly appeared on his lips. He found it funny when he looked at her solemn expression. "How do you want to thank me?"
