Chapter 302
After her head was split open, Old Mrs. Qin could only lie in bed to recuperate every day and was completely unable to take care of herself. Taking care of her was even more troublesome than before.
Without Granny Wang to take care of him, Qin Xuanrui cried and fussed all day long. Yao Sujuan was at least his stepmother, while Ruizhu was just a maid, so he was even less polite to Ruizhu.
Needless to say, a newborn baby is even more exhausting; just one baby could wear you out. Qin Shaoze, as the child's father, didn't offer any help, only saying, "How could a grown man like you take care of a child?"
Ruizhu had served Old Madam Qin since she was a child, and originally she was quite loyal to Old Madam Qin. But this kind of life was not fit for a human being, and any loyalty could be worn away.
With Yao Sujuan setting such a good example, Ruizhu soon couldn't stand it anymore and started to have her own ideas.
Yao Sujuan ran away, and Qin Shaoze didn't report her to the authorities to be arrested. Does that mean she could run away too?
Without hesitation, Ruizhu managed to secretly find her indenture in Old Madam Qin's room one night and then ran away.
She was a bit more lenient than Yao Sujuan; she didn't harm Old Madam Qin, nor did she take any of the family's money—the key point being that the family was so poor that she didn't have a single penny to take.
Qin Shaoze was devastated when he learned that even Lian Ruizhu had run away.
His wife ran away, and now even his last concubine has run away?
He was left alone, a grown man, with a seriously injured elderly mother, a five-year-old child, and a newborn baby girl. How was he going to survive?
......
On the other side, after escaping, Yao Sujuan exchanged all the valuables she had looted from the Qin family for cash, and then prepared to embark on her journey back to Beiyi.
She was from the Northern Yi region and had no desire to stay within the territory of the Western Qi, where she had nowhere to go anyway.
Anyway, she's not like Qin Shaoze. She hasn't committed any crimes, and the Yongning Marquis's mansion is safe and sound. There won't be any problems for her returning to the capital.
It would be plausible if she hadn't actually been burned to death in Luzhou and had managed to escape and return alive.
She is a concubine of the Marquis of Yongning, so she should also have a share of the Marquis of Yongning's property!
At this point, she had no ambition left, nor did she want to cause trouble or fight for anything. She only hoped that Shen Lingjun could give her a sum of money so that she could live a peaceful and uneventful life without worrying about food and clothing.
She never wanted to touch men again.
Yao Sujuan finally found a caravan returning to the capital of Beiyi from the border of Xiqi. She paid the caravan a sum of money and asked them to allow her to go back to the capital with them.
Everything was going smoothly until the caravan encountered bandits on their way back to Kyoto.
The guards hired by the caravan were no match for the bandits, and in the end, the entire caravan was looted and everyone was killed.
Yao Sujuan, the only woman in the caravan, was kidnapped by the jubilant bandits.
She screamed and struggled, and in the instant she was knocked unconscious by the bandits, for some reason, she inexplicably hallucinated in her mind, seeing Liu Manman's face before she died.
Liu Manman was smiling at her.
"Finally, it's your turn."
