Poor Lady Chapter 39: Carriage


"You can start." Luo Yanyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes mocking, and then, as if she had been choked by something, she coughed a few times.

Qi Surong looked at her smudged skirt, although she can stand calmly even in coarse linen, but in this kind of occasion, tidy clothes are the prerequisite, this is not only respect for herself, but also for others respect.

She turned around, and while walking slowly towards the piano case, she took out a blue silk scarf folded into a handkerchief shape from her sleeve, gently unfolded it, put it on her shoulders, and folded it a few times deftly with her fingers , attached to the collar like petals, which happened to cover the stains on the placket. When she turned around and sat by the guqin, she could no longer see any disheveled appearance.

All the girls secretly admire her ability to instantly turn decay into a god. Although they didn't like her behavior, they had to admit that this woman did have the qualifications to look down on everyone.

Luo Yanyi was so angry that she grabbed the handkerchief tightly, wishing to tear her face that was still in shock. She couldn't figure out why she could easily resolve every problem. She and Liu Qian'er made many plans, but none of them succeeded, and it even boosted her reputation.

The more Luo Yanyi thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and her eyes became colder and colder.

Qi Surong was sitting by the piano table, with his hands resting lightly on the strings, looking around, feeling a little unwilling to play the piano for these people. They didn't come to listen to the piano at all, but to see her jokes.

The eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the butterflies flying among the flowers, jumping lightly and happily under the warm sun, with a moving posture.

Well, if you don't want to play for others, let her play a song for these butterflies!

When you swipe your fingers, a burst of water-like zither sounds come out, like a breeze blowing willows, like birds singing in a mountain stream, like water drops falling into a plate, sometimes soft and gentle, sometimes playful and smart, the flowers are gorgeous, the butterflies are light, like a The beautiful scrolls, turned into moving musical notes, unfold before your eyes one by one.

A gust of breeze blows, the petals are all over the sky, Qi Surong's long hair dances with the wind, but the person is still sitting upright like a mountain, immersed in the beautiful music of the piano.

The sound of the piano passed through the wall and spread to the front hall. Lord Sima Luo, his relatives and friends who were drinking, and Mrs. Luo in the back hall all showed signs of listening.

The girls in the garden also unconsciously showed intoxicated looks, as if the distracting thoughts in their hearts were washed away, leaving only a piece of tranquility.

"Enough!" Luo Yanyi shouted angrily, waking up the girls from their enjoyment.

Qi Surong was not affected at all, with half-closed eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, he calmly finished the ending of the piano sound.

She stood up and gave a slight salute to everyone: "This song is over, thank you ladies for listening. I will take my leave."

"Slow down!" Luo Yanyi called to stop her, and was about to find an excuse to reprimand, but heard a woman beside her whisper.

"Miss Luo, your face..." She pointed at Luo Yanyi's face in horror.

"My face?" Luo Yanyi touched it with her hand and found a few small bumps around the corner of her mouth. .”

The rest of the people also saw the small pimple on Luo Yanyi's face. The moment she took the mirror, the small pimple spread again, and it seemed that it was still increasing.

Everyone showed shock.

Luo Wanru immediately ordered his servants: "Go and ask for a doctor."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Qi Surong turning around and walking away calmly.

Could it be... is she? Luo Wanru looked at the flustered and frightened Luo Yanyi again, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

"Phew, it's okay, I passed the level smoothly." Qi Surong returned to the side hall and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, are you alright?" Ping'er immediately stepped forward to ask Qi Surong when he saw Qi Surong.

"It's okay, let's go home." She smiled.

"Okay." Ping'er happily replied.

Qi Surong asked the maid of Sima Mansion to report to Luo Wanru, and then took Ping'er away.

Getting on the carriage, Qi Surong ordered: "Go back to the house."

"Miss, I heard you play the piano just now, it's really nice." Ping'er admired, "Miss is really amazing!"

Qi Surong said with a smile: "Of course, I don't even look at who your lady is."

"But, didn't they make things difficult for you?"

"No." To her, those embarrassments were not worth mentioning. The only thing she was worried about was Luo Yanyi. Fortunately, she had prepared the medicine in advance and sprinkled it on her handkerchief during the toast.

If she sprinkled it on food, she might not be in the mood to eat it, but if she sprinkled it on a handkerchief, the chances of getting caught would be much higher.

When the carriage drove for two quarters, it should be almost home. Qi Surong lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, his face changed suddenly, this road was not the direction to go back to Qi's house at all.

"Where is this place?" Qi Surong opened the front door and asked the driver. The coachman did not respond at all, but only accelerated the speed of driving.

Qi Surong's pupils constricted, the person in front of him was not the Qi family's coachman at all, the Qi family's coachman had a hunchback, but this person's back was normal.

"Who are you? Where do you want to take us?" Qi Surong quickly looked to both sides. The place is quite remote, full of mountains, rocks and forests, as if he has already left the city.

"Miss..." Ping'er looked terrified, and tightly tugged on Qi Surong's sleeve.

While Qi Surong was thinking about countermeasures, the carriage suddenly jolted, and then he heard the neighing of the horse, the speed of the carriage suddenly increased, shaking Qi Surong and Heping'er almost fell down.

When I looked up again, I was shocked to find that the person who was driving had disappeared at some point, and the carriage became unmanned, running wildly on the mountain road at high speed.

Qi Surong gritted his teeth, got into the driving seat, gripped the door frame tightly with one hand, and effortlessly hooked the rein with the other.

Catch it! Qi Surong's pale face showed a hint of joy, he grabbed the rein with his right hand a few times, and then pulled it back hard.

But the woman's strength is limited, and the horse is galloping, so it is really difficult to control.

"Miss, this servant is here to help you!" Ping'er was also about to get out.

Qi Surong shouted: "You stay here, it's too dangerous."

In such a bumpy situation, one will fall if one is not careful.

Qi Surong's strength sank, he let go of his left hand holding the door frame, changed to holding the rope with both hands, and reined in the horse with all his strength.

"Miss, ahead..." Ping'er looked forward in horror, the carriage was rushing towards a fast-moving river.

Qi Surong had no time to distract himself, and devoted himself to controlling the reins.

At this moment, Ping'er vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes behind him.

She looked back, and through the opened and closed car doors, she saw several knights chasing this way, and the leader was Gu Jinyun.

He sent guards to protect Qi Surong in secret. When the carriage came out of Sima Mansion, the guards didn't notice anything unusual. They didn't feel something was wrong until they left the city, but Miss Qi inside didn't respond, so they thought that Miss Qi had other purposes land. Therefore, they just sent someone to notify Gu Jinyun, and then continued to follow, but when the driver accelerated the speed and jumped out of the car, the guards realized that something was wrong.

Gu Jinyun rushed over when he received the news that the carriage was leaving the city. When he arrived, he happened to see Qi Surong get out of the carriage and wanted to rein in the reins.

Although Gu Jinyun admired her courage, such a thrilling action really made people tremble with fear.

Seeing that the carriage was about to rush into the big river, Gu Jinyun's face was stern, and he hurried on his horse, wishing he could fly over.

"Miss, hold on a little longer, Mr. Gu is right behind!" Ping'er shouted.

Gu Jinyun?

Qi Surong didn't dare to be distracted, and pulled the rein forcefully, several deep bloodstains were drawn on the palm of his hand.

The horse's head was thrown back by her strangle, and when it was about to rush into the river, it finally stopped suddenly.

Qi Surong was unprepared for such a sudden stop, because of inertia, she flew towards the big river with a plop, and instantly submerged into the rushing river.

"Miss!" Ping'er was about to cheer when he saw the carriage stop, but when he saw Qi Surong flew out of the carriage and fell into the river, his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, a figure flew past and jumped into the river.

Ping'er got off the carriage with trembling legs, looked at Dahe in front of him and the two people who had disappeared, and burst into tears.

"Don't worry, our young master is very good at water." A knight came over to comfort him.

Another person also said: "Let's go downstream to find them, they should have been washed down."

Ping'er has no idea and keeps nodding.

The two guards recuperated the carriage and took Ping'er downstream to search for it.

After Qi Surong fell into the river, he was choked by the tumbling water and couldn't breathe.

You won't die here, will you? Qi Surong thought to himself, there were many minor disasters in the previous life, but he had no experience of flooding. It seems that history has changed a lot, and plans can't always keep up with the changes.

In this critical moment, she still has the mood to think about this...

I don't know how long it has passed, Qi Surong was in a daze, feeling that the current of the water was gradually slowing down, and his body seemed to be firmly encircled by an arm, slowly dragging towards the shore.

Gu Jinyun looked at the pale Qi Surong with a gloomy expression. He held her tightly in his arms, as if afraid of losing her.

After landing on the shore, Gu Jinyun immediately laid her flat on the ground and pressed her belly a few times.

Qi Surong coughed out a few sips of water, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a familiar face in a haze.

"Husband..." Her eyes were blurred with tears, her voice was hoarse and deep, and Gu Jinyun didn't hear what she called clearly. But her expression was extremely worrying.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Jinyun hugged her into his arms.

Qi Surong hugged him tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her face, crying like a child.

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Jinyun patted her on the back and comforted her softly with a paralyzed face.

No one else's ridicule, contempt, or bullying could make her shed a single tear.

But in this man's arms, she couldn't control her emotions.

This warmth is like her final belonging, as long as he is there, I will have nothing to fear.
