in her hand and slowly sensed it. Someone was actually refining the evil energy she had released, coming from one of the five places.Three minutes later, ripples spoke:"Please turn back to that golf...The ripples only entered Xia Qingran's boudoir after Xia Meng left. Seeing Xia Qingran's pale face, he asked her the reason.
"Jade, something terrible has happened! My father won't let me take you to the Meng Mansion. What shall we do"
"Can't this really work"
"My father has always been domineering. If he says no, it's absolutely no. I only managed to negotiate for you to leave the Xia family earlier, which is all I could do for our master-servant relationship."
"Please go and ask Lady Lü to come here."
Xia Qingran held a handkerchief in her hand and whispered.
"Miss, your yard has already been surrounded. They only let out, not in."
Her ripples eyes turned, and she spoke in a low voice.
"What shall we do"
Xia Qingran's tears flowed down her face.
"Miss, please don't worry. Listen to me, after dark we will change clothes, and I will go to the Meng family in your place tonight."
But father will see through it.
"It's nothing, I'm about the same size as Miss. With a little disguise, when it gets dark tonight, the master won't be looking at me closely. All we need to do is get by."
Ripples immediately spoke.
"Can it really work"
Xia Qingran clenched Lian Yi's hand and asked.
"It's doable, it will work! In the afternoon, Miss can wear my clothes and take my deed with her to leave. Even if Master finds out later, he won't dare make a fuss, but Miss must hide well. Don't show yourself until the wedding procession arrives."
The ripples continued to deceive Xia Qingran.
"I got it!"
"Miss, you mustn't get nervous. Don't let anyone see."
The ripples continued to advise.
"I understand!"
"Poor Miss, we're starting to change clothes now."
"Great!"
Then the ripples closed the bedroom door, and the two began to change clothes, restyle their hair, and reapply makeup.
In all the bustle, it was already afternoon. At this time, under Lian Yi's skillful hands, Xia Qingran had become Cui Zhu, and she herself had become Xia Qingran.
Xia Qingran loaded her entire life's possessions onto her back, took the deed from Lian Yi, drew a deep breath, and then pushed open the door.
"Cui Zhu, you and I have been master and servant for a time. Now, I set you free. Go out and find a good man to marry, and live a happy life."
"Yes, Miss. Please accept this humble bow from your servant."
Xia Qingran performed a perfunctory bow, then walked out of her courtyard with her head held high. She met Xia's mother face-to-face and immediately lowered her head in fright.
Mrs. Xia didn't trust her own illegitimate daughter, so she came here to rekindle their relationship and explain some things. At least after the marriage, their Xia family could use the daughter's influence, otherwise, wouldn't this daughter be sacrificed for nothing
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the maidservant who served the youngest daughter. She frowned and asked:
"Cuizhu, you're not serving the young mistress at this hour. What are you doing with that package"
Xia Qingran knew whether she could leave this time depended on this moment. So, in a moment of lowering her head, she directly knelt on the ground and, with a trembling voice, said:
"I don't know where I went wrong to make Miss angry, mistress. Miss returned my deed and let me leave the Xia family. Waaah!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xia frowned and said to Xia Qingran who was kneeling on the ground:
"Get up first. I'll go ask Xiaoran what's going on. Go wash your face, you look terrible crying like that."
"Yes, my lady!"
Xia Qingran lowered her head and kowtowed to the ground, not daring to lift it up. She bit her lip, and her voice trembled as she replied.
Then Lady Xia, accompanied by her maidservant and a nanny, entered Xia Qingran's courtyard.
Xia Qingran waited until Mrs. Xia and the others had walked past her before slowly getting up. Then, she quickly turned around and walked toward the front door. She didn't dare to delay. If Cuizhu's secret was exposed, they would definitely come after her. She had finally found an opportunity to leave, so she absolutely couldn't let it go to waste.
Xia Qingran left in a hurry, while on the other side, Mrs. Xia had already seen Lianyi standing at the door.
Ripple heard the conversation between Madam Xia and Xia Qingran, and was also afraid that the other party would not respond well and cause trouble. However, fortunately, Xia Qingran was smart enough and didn't have any problems, so she took the initiative to step forward.
"Mother, how did you have time to come to my yard"
At this time, ripples bowed to Madam Xia after pressing against Xià Qīng Ràn's face and softly asked.
Although Cui Zhu and Xia Qing Ran look similar in shape, their appearances are also different. It's just because Lian Yi used makeup techniques to disguise herself, and besides, the mistress of the house, Mrs. Xia, doesn't care much about her concubine daughters, so at first glance, she didn't notice any difference.
Besides, Cui Zhu had served Xia Qing Ran since she was a child and knew her way of speaking and little habits very well, so it wouldn't be easy for her to imitate them without making mistakes.
It's nothing important, just came to have a chat with you and also have a few things to tell you.
Summer Madam sat down at the small round table, then waved her hand to tell her maidservant and nanny to go out and guard at the door. Only then did she speak to Lian'er:
"Qing Ran, for your bright future, your grandfather has put in a lot of effort. Originally, I wanted to fight for Qing Jie, but everyone has seen her. If this goes through, you will be the hero of both the Xia family and the Meng family."
Mrs. Xia first presented a tall hat.
Liàn Yī thought about Xià Qīng Rǎn's consistent style, slightly raised her head, and replied with a hint of pride:
"Mother, please do not praise me. As a daughter of the Xia family, it is natural for me to share my father's worries."
Summer Madam, upon hearing this, didn't get angry. After all, whether she lived or died depended on the little girl's own abilities. So she continued to coax:
"Qing Ran, although there are many things that force us to do this, you must always remember that you are the daughter of the Xia family, and the Xia family is your true reliance."
Ripples isn't the real Xia Qingran, perhaps the real Xia Qingran and Cui Zhu would be brainwashed by Madam Xia, but she wouldn't. However, she still smiled and said:
"Mother, I know what to do, and I won't disappoint you."
"Very well then, I know you are a sensible child and would be thinking of me and your father, of course, and your aunt as well. Rest assured, I will take good care of Aunt Lang."
Mrs. Xia hinted again at the illegitimate daughter, reminding her that her biological mother was still relying on her for a living.
"Thank you, mother."
The ripples immediately thanked her.
"When I arrived just now, I saw Cui Zhu walking away with a package. She said you let her go. What happened"
"My father came at noon and said that I should go alone, and I couldn't take any maidservants."
Ripples pretended to frown, putting on an air of displeasure.
"Your father considered everything carefully. Naturally, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Cui Zhu is your personal maid, you shouldn't have let her go."
Summer Mrs. frowned.
"Mother, Cui Zhu has accompanied me through my growth. I don't know if I will be able to return this time. Letting her go would be a complete expression of our master-servant affection."
But don't worry, she doesn't know anything. She just thinks I was angry and sent her away.
Ripple explained.
This time, Xia Fuzi didn't go against Lian Yi. After all, she was going into the Meng Mansion, and she couldn't cause any trouble.
"Well then, if you're happy.""Monster"
