It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 117

At midnight on February 17th, the fourteenth year of Jianguang's reign, a group of people quietly climbed out of the Changfu Guest House with their luggage on their backs. They carefully avoided the patrolling guards and sneaked into a secret alley between the low house on the east side where the servants lived and the stable.

Jiang Yan and Chunying discovered this place by accident when they were exploring the area. On one side of the alley was the outermost wall of the Chang Mansion. As long as they climbed over it, they would have taken the first step towards freedom.

Perhaps the patrol team of Chang Mansion felt that the safety of low-ranking maids did not need to be taken seriously, so Jiang Yan and Chunying came to scout the place several times but never encountered them.

Therefore, the two of them risked climbing over the wall three or four times and secretly found several blind spots around Chang's mansion where people could hide, so that they could successfully hide with Fu Nulang and others at this time.

A month had passed since Fu Nulang proposed the idea of ​​returning to Heding Prefecture and began to implement it.

During this long and agonizing waiting time, Miss Fu not only practiced tirelessly for her departure, but also asked the owner of the Chang Mansion to return to Heding Mansion through the mouth of the young master Chang Ruxing from time to time. She even wrote letters to Aunt Chang in Heding Mansion through the young master, asking to go home.

But all of them fell into oblivion and there was no news.

Jiang Yan and her maids saw everything and realized even more clearly that Miss Fu was isolated and helpless.

Especially after February, young man Chang Ruxing and young girl Chang Ruyue resumed their studies and could only come occasionally to replenish food. The courtyard had to return to its original situation of less food and less charcoal.

Perhaps it was Tingying's devout prayers to the gods that brought good luck to Miss Fu. Just when they decided that they could no longer tolerate it and chose a day when the owner of Chang Mansion was out for a banquet and the guards were empty, they hijacked a carriage and rushed back to Heding Mansion, and the opportunity came.

The family of General Song, a highly respected general of this dynasty, was going back to the Northern Protectorate after celebrating the New Year in the imperial city, passing through Xiding Prefecture and the northern part of Heding Prefecture.

When Chunying reported the news, the convoy had already entered Xiding Prefecture and was expected to pass through the prefectural city in a few days, as Madam Chang had already ordered the stewards to prepare gifts in advance.

Jiang Yan and her team thought of several plans and kept rejecting them. Finally, they learned that General Song's family would probably enter the city on the evening of the 18th and leave the city after resting for a night. So they decided to leave the city one day earlier to avoid missing them.

After properly settling Fu Nulang and Baoqin and agreeing on a signal, Jiang Yan and Chunying sneaked back to the stables of Chang Mansion.

The two of them still had the most important task to complete - to hijack a carriage for transportation.

This is a very difficult task, which seriously affects the success or failure of the seven people's escape plan.

After all, they need to fall behind the convoy. Just relying on the physical strength gained from this month's exercise, not to mention the delicate Fu girl, even Jiang Yan, Chunying and Yile are not completely sure, not to mention it is a bitterly cold winter.

Fortunately, they found a breakthrough early on.

When the maidservant at the East Gate was free, she said that there was a frail and sickly groom in the stable. She didn't know what luck it was that he became the godfather of the manager in charge of purchasing in the Chang Mansion. He then turned over a lot of chores and left most of the chores to other servants.

With the help of this godfather, he got close to the second steward of the Chang Mansion. No matter how busy the mansion was, he only had to do one thing, which was to send the second steward out at Yinzheng and send the second steward back at Xumo. Sometimes he would not return home for several days and nights.

Because he often smelled of alcohol and cosmetics when he came back, the servants were all saying that he went out with the second steward to eat and drink, which attracted many people's attention.

Where they were going and what they were doing were not the focus of Jiang Yan and Chunying. After listening to the gossip of the servants at the East Gate, they returned to the house one after another and secretly counted the drugs, laxatives and drugs of unknown effects that they brought with them.
