Chapter 329 Fate
After Yuan Jiuer left the palace, she walked back slowly and staggered back to Tianshui Lane. At the gate of the yard, she saw a group of people in the house, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and she didn't know what they were searching for.
But looking at the situation inside, no matter how stupid Yuan Jiuer was, he knew something was wrong, and it was not a good thing.
Having been trained by the organization under Emperor Yongjia for several years, Yuan Jiuer was somewhat alert. She did not go in immediately, but she was worried about Mother Zhang and could not bear to run away.
After spending some time with Mother Zhang, Yuan Jiuer had already treated her as a relative.
So he stayed outside and watched what was going on inside. When he saw Mother Zhang, he waved and called her.
Mother Zhang was also worried about her. She felt sorry for her, a little girl with no relatives or friends, being treated like this. She thought her life was too hard, so she waved at her, signaling her to leave quickly.
But Yuan Jiuer didn't know who those people were and thought they were robbers, so she just wanted to take Zhang's mother with her.
But Mother Zhang knew that these people were here to look for Yuan Jiuer. From the beginning till now, this group of big men had been rummaging through the drawers and boxes inside, and had been asking her where Yuan Jiuer had gone.
After some probing, Mother Zhang realized that these people were probably sent by the Second Young Lady of the Duke's Mansion.
Knowing that these people probably wouldn't do anything to him, he shouted and asked Yuan Jiuer to leave quickly.
Mother Zhang's shout naturally alarmed the people in the house.
Several big men inside ran out immediately. Yuan Jiuer saw that something was wrong and ran away immediately.
And those few people also followed out.
Naturally, Mother Zhang couldn't just sit at home and wait for death. Even though she was not young anymore, she still ran out.
Speaking of which, Shi Qiuwu was really cruel. Not only did he want to drive Yuan Jiuer away, he also recruited some thugs to defile Yuan Jiuer.
Thinking about the woman who had been molested by gangsters, would Yan Shouyu still dare to marry her?
Yuan Jiuer has experienced so much since he was a child, and he is also very tough. He has wandered the streets before, so he knows how to deal with these ruffians.
He ran all the way, choosing to run in the chaotic areas where there were many people and the roads were complicated, and he was not caught up by those big men.
Because she was looking around and her body was agile, the big men couldn't run too fast in the downtown area, so they bumped into each other and were finally thrown off by Yuan Jiuer.
In fact, Yuan Jiuer also ran all the way back to his organization hidden in the downtown area.
She originally thought that after her last plan succeeded and the organization returned her indenture to her, she would probably never come back in this lifetime.
Who would have known that after such a short time, I would have to seek protection from the organization again.
Hearing this, Qin Liuse finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For a moment, he took a deep breath filled with emotion, and said thankfully for Yuan Jiuer, "It's good that she didn't get bullied by those people."
The methods used by those hooligans are so cruel and brutal. If they really want to defile Yuan Jiuer, they will come one after another, and soon several big men will have to share Yuan Jiuer together.
I don’t know how Shi Qiuwu could come up with such a vicious plan.
"Don't worry, she is fine now. But she probably can't go back to that house." Emperor Yongjia comforted Qin Liuse.
Since they didn't catch the person, Shi Qiuwu's people would naturally keep an eye on the house, so after escaping back to the organization, Yuan Jiuer never went back.
But he was worried about Mother Zhang, so he asked the organization to tell Mother Zhang about his situation when they were collecting manure in the morning.
He asked Zhang's mother to meet at another place in the downtown area.
Yuan Jiuer wanted to take Mother Zhang away from the private residence as well.
Seeing that the house was now controlled by Shi Qiuwu, and not knowing whether or when her son would wake up, Mother Zhang was worried about Yuan Jiuer, so she didn't take anything with her and pretended to go out to buy things. She secretly met with the people sent by Yuan Jiuer, and was taken away by Yuan Jiuer's people.
So after Shi Qiuwu's commotion, when Yan Shouyu returned to this private residence, it had become empty and messy.
How could Yan Shouyu not be angry when he saw this scene after recovering from a serious illness?
"Madam Yan, you have really lost the big picture for the small this time." Qin Liuse sighed. Although it has not been long since the day when Concubine Xiao De was framed by Concubine Li Xianfei and Qin Huaijin, it has been at least half a month.
Yan Shouyu still gives Shi Qiuwu such a look, which shows that he is really angry. "Will Yuan Jiuer go back to find General Yan this time?" Qin Liuse asked curiously.
"It's more than just losing the big for the small, this is not worth the loss." said Emperor Yongjia.
As for Qin Liuse's subsequent questions, Emperor Yongjia also shook his head, "Whether to go back to find him or not is now their own business. I have no right to interfere."
Although Emperor Yongjia used Yuan Jiuer as a chess piece in order to avenge Qin Liuse, and asked her to seduce Yan Shouyu and annoy Shi Qiuwu.
But Emperor Yongjia was a very principled master, and he only did one-time deals. Every time Shi Qiuwu offended him, he would only use Yuan Jiuer once, and only asked her to help him set up the plan this time.
After that matter was accomplished, Yuan Jiuer was already a free person. Emperor Yongjia had no way of deciding whether Yuan Jiuer would go back to find Yan Shouyu, nor did he want to influence her.
"Yuan Jiuer doesn't want to come out, so how can General Yan find her?" Qin Liuse was quite concerned about the affairs of these two people. If Yuan Jiuer kept hiding in there, then Yan Shouyu would definitely not be able to find Emperor Yongjia's territory.
"You don't have to worry about this. If we are really destined to meet, we will always meet. If we don't have this feeling for each other, it doesn't matter if we can't meet." Emperor Yongjia said lightly.
Emperor Yongjia suddenly became serious, but Qin Liuse couldn't help but feel worried, "General Yan might have thought that Yuan Jiuer had already left the capital."
"He has been sending people to look for him, but he doesn't have much time left in the capital," said Emperor Yongjia.
Qin Liuse's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "Where is General Yan going to take up his post?"
"He applied to me himself to garrison in the northwest." Seeing that Qin Liuse looked more anxious than the person involved, Emperor Yongjia couldn't help but pinch her face.
Now Qin Liuse had nothing to say.
Yan Shouyu's actions further proved that he was not ready to forgive Shi Qiuwu for the time being, so he decided to turn a blind eye and head northwest.
But now he doesn’t know where the matter between him and Yuan Jiuer will go.
Emperor Yongjia patted her on the back and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about these. It's almost time to go to bed."
Qin Liuse was indeed very tired. With the Emperor Yongjia patting her back gently and coaxing her into a comfortable sleep, she fell into a deep sleep in Chengqian Palace.
Seeing that she was asleep, Emperor Yongjia pulled the quilt to cover her shoulders, then he lay down and closed his eyes.
-
That night, Emperor Yongjia heard too much gossip.
So much so that the next day, when Qin Liuse woke up and returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she was still digesting the gossip.
As soon as the heavy snow came, the real feeling of winter came.
Whenever Qin Liuse goes out, she has to dress warmly, wearing a cloak, a scarf, and sometimes even a Zhaojun hood, with only her little face exposed.
It was winter and heavy snow was falling outside. Qin Liuse didn't have many places to go. She just went to Concubine Xiao De's place and then prepared to return to the palace.
Unexpectedly, when he came back, he ran into Emperor Yongjia who was taking a walk after finishing his official duties in Four Seasons Garden.
She wanted to greet them and then go back to have lunch, but unexpectedly, Emperor Yongjia stopped her and said, "Come with me to the Grand Empress Dowager's place for lunch. Yesterday, she asked me to take you to see her."
