#232 - "A Thousand Miles to Find Husband" Lu Jingyao

Chapter 229: Lu Jingyao's "Thousand Li Search for Husband"

Kyoto, the Wei Residence.

The setting sun in the sky was orange-red like fire, burning the clouds into a sunset glow.

Lu Jingyao propped her arms on the windowsill, watching the beautiful sunset with a heavy heart.

Today is the tenth day of the third month, more than ten days since her "half-year agreement" with Wei Changtian.

Lu Jingyao had been counting the days, preparing to go straight to Shu Prefecture as soon as the time came.

But just at this critical moment, Da Ning was completely plunged into chaos.

In this situation, Wei Xianzhi would certainly not allow her to travel thousands of miles to Shu Prefecture to find Wei Changtian, and even for safety reasons, he would not let her out of the mansion.

After all, if the Liu family were to "repeat their old tricks" and carry out another kidnapping, this daughter-in-law with no strength to truss a chicken would be the best choice.

Since she couldn't leave the house, Lu Jingyao could only stay in her room all day, listening to the servants tell her about what was happening outside.

At the Chunlong Poetry Meeting, her husband composed nine world-renowned poems in a row, the Liu family's plot to assassinate her husband failed, the Xu family colluded with the Prince to rebel, and Da Feng intended to send troops to the Western Frontier.

Although under Wei Xianzhi's instructions, the servants mostly reported good news and not bad news when talking about these things, Lu Jingyao still heard the turmoil of the current situation in Da Ning.

And the more this was the case, the more worried she became about Wei Changtian's safety, and the more she wanted to go to Shu Prefecture regardless of everything.

"Madam, what are you looking at?"

The door was gently pushed open, and Qiuyun, who had just finished feeding the three hens in the yard, walked in.

"I see you've been leaning here for half an hour."

"It's nothing."

Lu Jingyao straightened up, rubbed her numb arms, frowned and asked, "Qiuyun, do you think if I beg my father-in-law again, will he allow us to go to Shu Prefecture?"

"Madam, the master is probably not going to agree."

Qiuyun didn't know how many times she had answered this question: "This is also for your own good."

"But..."

Lu Jingyao murmured: "But I'm really worried about my husband..."

"I'm also worried about the young master."

Qiuyun walked closer and continued to persuade: "Madam, let's listen to the master."

"If the master doesn't agree, we won't be able to go even if we want to."

"..."

Hearing this, Lu Jingyao lowered her head and said nothing.

Currently, the Wei Residence is surrounded by guards, both overt and covert. Without Wei Xianzhi's consent, she really can't even leave the gate.

On the other side, Qiuyun thought she had figured it out, so she quickly took the opportunity to say: "Madam, the meal is ready..."

"I'm not eating."

Lu Jingyao interrupted sullenly, and then went into the bed curtains without even taking off her clothes and began to sulk.

Qiuyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and quietly walked out of the room, returning with a small wooden tray in her hand, with a few plates of refreshing side dishes and a bowl of white porridge.

"Madam, if you don't want to eat, have some porridge."

"Madam, the young master asked me to take good care of you before he left."

"..."

"Madam, if you still don't eat, then I'll write a letter to the young master to complain."

"... Hmph!"

With a muffled hum, Lu Jingyao finally poked her head out of the curtain.

"Qiuyun! I shouldn't have taught you how to read!"

"Madam, it's a little late to regret it now."

Qiuyun calmly put down the wooden tray, arranged the chopsticks and spoon, but still didn't mean to leave.

Lu Jingyao was "threatened", although she really didn't have an appetite, but she didn't want Wei Changtian to worry, so she had to reluctantly get out of bed and start eating.

"Glug glug~"

"Chomp chomp~"

The food that Qiuyun brought was not much, and Lu Jingyao just wanted to finish it quickly and go back to continue sulking, so the bowl of white porridge was quickly emptied.

"Madam, I'll get another bowl."

Qiuyun wanted to take the bowl immediately, but Lu Jingyao quickly reached out to protect the porcelain bowl.

"I'm not eating! I'm full!"

Although she didn't know if Lu Jingyao was really full or full of anger, Qiuyun hesitated for a moment and didn't force it, and turned around to leave with the wooden tray.

However, at this moment...

"Thump!"

A muffled sound suddenly came from behind.

Qiuyun quickly turned her head to look, and then saw Lu Jingyao covering her forehead with tears in her eyes, while kicking the bedpost in front of her fiercely.

"..."

Obviously, she accidentally bumped her head.

Qiuyun felt both distressed and amused for a moment, wanting to ask Lu Jingyao if she was okay.

But the next moment, she was suddenly stunned in place.

Not only Qiuyun, but even Lu Jingyao forgot the pain on her forehead for a moment, and opened her mouth to look at a spot by the bed.

Originally, there was nothing here, but now there was a dark hole.

"Ma-Madam, what is this..."

"It, it seems to be a secret passage..."

Two hours later.

In a dead alley about half a mile away from the Wei Residence, a piece of turf suddenly shook slightly a few times, and then slowly lifted up bit by bit...

A pair of big eyes slowly appeared in the gap, looking around warily before quickly shrinking back.

"Qiuyun! The outside is Qingyu Lane!"

In the fluorescent tunnel, Lu Jingyao looked excited: "The guards at home will definitely not notice us going out from here! Then we can go to Shu Prefecture to find my husband ourselves!"

"Madam..."

Qiuyun, holding the night-luminescent pearl, looked helpless: "Even if the guards in the mansion don't notice, how can we two women get from Kyoto to Shu Prefecture?"

"Oh, just find an escort agency."

Lu Jingyao said carelessly: "If that doesn't work, we can buy a carriage and hire a driver!"

"We have money, what can't we do?"

"But if we run away secretly..."

Qiuyun worried: "The master will definitely be furious when he finds out."

"If father-in-law wants to blame someone, he will blame me, it has nothing to do with you."

Lu Jingyao took the initiative to take all the responsibility, but seeing that Qiuyun still looked reluctant, her eyes turned and she suddenly changed her strategy.

"Qiuyun, now the Wei family and the Liu family are fighting to the death, and my husband's days in Shu Prefecture will definitely not be peaceful."

"Aren't you worried about your husband?"

"Worried, but..."

"Don't you want to be by your husband's side at this time?"

"I want to, but..."

"Don't you want to share life and death and overcome difficulties with your husband?"

"I want to..."

"Then do you want to go to Shu Prefecture with me?"

"I want to!"

Although Qiuyun is a little more mature than Yuan'er, she is not very opinionated.

What's more, Lu Jingyao used Wei Changtian as "bait", and immediately swayed her.

"What's more..."

Looking at Qiuyun's tangled face, Lu Jingyao added the final blow at the right time.

"What's more, my husband also promised to marry you and Yuan'er into the family."

"If we go to Shu Prefecture earlier, this matter can be fulfilled by my husband earlier, right?"

"And if we delay any longer, when my husband has new lovers in Shu Prefecture, then..."

"Madam!"

Qiuyun suddenly interrupted:

"Let's go back and pack our luggage quickly!"
