Chapter 843 Chapter 843
Dieyi ran quickly, trying to find a familiar figure in the crowd, but there were too many people. The sounds of shouting, gongs and drums, chanting and wailing were deafening.
She was thin and moved among a group of men in mourning or plain clothes.
The Four Young Masters——
Dieyi couldn't bear it any longer and shouted out, but how could anyone hear her?
Lan Xiang ran after her, "Are you looking for the Fourth Young Master?"
Dieyi panted, "No matter who it is, as long as it is a familiar master, you can stop him and say that the fourth young master's wife is missing."
Lan Xiang was horrified. "Don't do this. If Madam just took the wrong road and caused a misunderstanding, how will she explain it later?"
Dieyi stamped her feet, "Every time I travel, it's never smooth sailing. Sister, can you tell me, when has there been a time when nothing went wrong?"
This one sentence choked Lanxiang.
Seeing Dieyi running away, he chased after her with difficulty, "I'll go find the prince, and you go find the fourth young master!"
Dieyi nodded and rushed to the backyard instantly.
She ran wildly in the direction of the old princess's courtyard. Hehua was now following a group of maids, walking at the end with her head tucked in.
Several maids from Prince An's mansion looked at him from front and back and led him out of the inner courtyard.
Dieyi rushed forward and grabbed Hehua, "Have you seen the young lady?"
Lotus was stunned, then shook her head, "No, I haven't seen them. I was waiting for Sister Diewu and the young mistress outside the courtyard, but no one came out."
The housekeeper stepped forward and scolded, "Which family are you from? We won't let anyone stay in the inner courtyard now."
"Excuse me, Madam, can you see our young mistress?"
"The Princess's Courtyard is empty. All the women have gone to the front yard. You guys are running around here, but that's not allowed."
The nanny's face was serious, but Dieyi was not afraid at the moment.
Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, a few more guards came over and said, "Aunt Lin, hurry up, the prince's coffin has been opened, and we are still short of a few maids to kneel down and burn paper money."
In a panic, he drove Dieyi and the maids out of the inner courtyard.
Dieyi grabbed Hehua's wrist and ran away while the maids weren't paying attention. "Look carefully, the young lady didn't come out?"
He Hua shook her head. "Sister, I saw it and asked the nanny. She said that the princess's courtyard only has this one door and there is no corner door."
Dieyi panicked, "Could it be that the young lady is still in the princess's courtyard?"
Lotus became anxious, "I asked the nanny, and she said that there was no one inside. Everyone went to the front to kowtow and send the old prince off."
"Where's Diewu?"
Lotus's eyes were blank, "I've never seen it."
Dieyi was almost unable to stand. "Go quickly, go find someone in our house. No matter who you find, tell them that the young lady is missing."
"Young Madam..., is missing?"
Lotus was so frightened that she choked up, "How come she disappeared?" Her buns were covered with snowflakes. She shook her head with a look of horror, "So, the young lady is still in the old princess' room?"
Dieyi looked around in confusion, but couldn't find any familiar figures from the Pei family.
"Let's go look for her. Sister Lanxiang has gone to look for the prince, but in this chaotic time, let alone the prince, we can't even find the Fourth Young Master. If you see anyone familiar, pull them over and ask for help."
Lotus wiped her tears and nodded heavily, "I'll go right away."
The two went their separate ways, but several entrances to the inner courtyard were guarded by people sent by Prince An's Mansion. Whenever Dieyi wanted to enter, he was stopped.
She ran around like a headless fly, and saw Pei An's figure vaguely in the crowd several times. She ran over and called out, and turned around to see that it was indeed a stranger.
The strong wind and heavy snow almost blinded people.
Dieyi met a few people who seemed to be in charge of Prince An's mansion. As soon as she started talking, they sent people to drag her away. "It's Prince An's big day, and you dare to make up rumors and cause trouble like a little girl! If you say anything more, I don't care which mansion you are from, you will be beaten to death."
This is a royal palace, not one of those wealthy families you think has two lion heads standing on the ground!
Dieyi was slapped several times for this.
He wanted to return to the female relatives and ask the old lady of the Qin family for help, but all the female relatives were accompanying the old princess in front and behind the mourning hall. Dieyi was not only unable to get close to them, but even if he wanted to find someone to give him money and ask him to go in and serve his wife, he was stopped and driven out by the guards.
"If anyone comes and says they are the maid of the distinguished guest, that's unacceptable! The women are all inside, and the maids will follow them. If you want to blend in, you'll be wasting your life!"
After a few pushes, Dieyi fell into the snow.
The coming and going of the servants and guards made her feel desperate. "I'm looking for someone in charge. Something happened in the Zhenguo Mansion."
"Asshole, the Duke and the Crown Prince are both carrying our prince's coffin. What a lie! Don't they want our prince to rest in peace?"
After a few words, Dieyi didn't dare to delay and walked away.
He Hua was even more worried. She was young, so she followed the corner where there were few people and ran towards the outside of the mansion. She thought that as long as she could meet Lin Shan or any male master of the Pei family, she would be saved.
I fell several times while running.
Her hands and feet were all worn out, but she didn't dare to say a word. When she got up again, there were fewer and fewer people around except for the snowflakes falling from the sky.
——Lost!
She ran two or three times but couldn't find the exit.
As a last resort, she climbed up the rocky hill beside the wall, flipped over, and without caring about the height of the outer wall, she jumped down.
"Oh my! Where did this damn girl come from? Is she trying to kill someone?"
The hoarse voice scared Lotus so much that she turned over. When she looked carefully, she found that it was a woman in a plain long dress. She was very tall and the veil covering half of her face had fallen down.
Lotus quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I was just too anxious."
He was about to run away, but suddenly turned back and grabbed Song Youan's hand, "Sister, have you seen a beautiful lady?"
"never seen it!"
Song Youan looked at He Hua grabbing his wrist, shook it off, and said unhappily, "Do you know any etiquette? You come up and touch me, do you think you have a long life?"
He Hua choked up and said, "Sister, I am a maid in the fourth young master's room of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Can I see our young lady?"
Song Youan was slightly stunned.
His face was full of complex expressions. He looked back at Yingxue Pavilion and hardened his heart. "I don't know what the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion or the Duke of Huguo Mansion is. Let me go. Don't delay me from leaving!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
He Hua was about to pull him over to beg for mercy, but suddenly she looked up and saw Song You An's uncovered scar. It was so close to her that she was stunned, "Pipa Lang?"
Got it!
I was recognized by this damn girl!
Song Youan became more and more flustered, "Let go, what's the matter with that!"
Lotus immediately thought of the boy's first meeting with the Young Madam at the emperor's birthday banquet, and their later meeting at the bookshop. Pipa Lang even called the Young Madam "sister"!
At this moment, she had no doubt in her little head why Pipa Lang appeared in Prince An's mansion dressed in women's clothes.
I could only think that he was a man after all, so I begged him to save my life!
