ARDA - Chapter 158 - Ran Away

  πŸ‡πŸ’—Extra chapter #8 dedicated to Caitlin πŸ’—πŸ‡


 Another place, the remote Jiang Family Villa.

The little maid walked in with the medicine bowl and said, "Miss, it's time to drink the medicine."

The house was shabby, with only a simple wooden bed, tables and chairs, and only cold tea in the teapot.

Jiang Mengyue's face was haggard and pale, and she stared at the little maid who walked in with gloomy eyes. She felt a thorn in her back and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl.

Jiang Mengyue picked up the medicine bowl and threw it at the little maid instead of drinking the medicine.

"Are you trying to poison me?"

"This is poison! Get out of here, I won't drink this medicine!"

The little maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly walked out of the room and closed the door. Behind her, Jiang Mengyue could be heard yelling, like a mad woman.

The second lady is getting crazier every day. What she feels is not the cold but the madness.

The little maid was trembling slightly with fear, fearing that the person in the room would go crazy.

The old aunt who passed by was chewing melon seeds, spitting out the melon seed shells at the door, "Ignore her, just forget it if she doesn't want to drink it, she still thinks she is a wealthy lady."

"Get out! Get out of here!" Furious sounds came from the room.

The old aunt left while snacking on melon seeds, and the little maid also followed.

In the room, after everyone outside the door had left, Jiang Mengyue calmed down, her face was cold, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and she clenched her fists.

If she stays here, she will never get ahead.

What else could she do? Zhuang Wei was dead and she couldn't rely on the Zhuang. The Marquis was cold and heartless and wouldn't even look at her. And with that dog woman Jiang Ning watching, she couldn't even send a letter to Madam Lin. 

Jiang Mengyue bit her lower lip hard, drawing blood from her lips.

Her eyes flashed with determination and she made a decision.

The house was quiet.

The old aunt moved a stool to eat melon seeds in the yard. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds. While eating melon seeds, she thought, why is the second lady so quiet today? If it had been in the past, she would have yelled already.

It seems that the second lady knows that her eldest lady temper won't work here.

A young lady who did something wrong and was kicked out of the Marquis' house still thinks she is a high-ranking daughter.

The old aunt sneered and continued to eat melon seeds.

The room was still quiet. After an hour, there was no sound at all.

The old lady was curious, what was the second young lady doing in the house? Why was there no sound at all? 

That’s right! It's Strange!

The second young lady had a cold and would cough from time to time, but the room was quiet and the coughing sound was gone. Could it be...

The old aunt's face changed drastically. Something must have happened to the second young lady!

The old aunt got up, walked over and opened the door of the house. The shabby interior of the house was unobstructed.

No one.

The old aunt opened her eyes wide and looked around. There was no one in the room!

"Where is the second lady? Where did the second lady go?"

How come a good living person disappeared? No one saw Jiang Mengyue come out, but Jiang Mengyue disappeared.

The old woman called the servants in the villa and asked around, but they didn't see the second lady.

The old aunt's face changed slightly and she said, "Go find her quickly! Get her back quickly!" If the second lady escapes, it will be a big deal and everyone in the villa will be punished.

The people in Villa hurriedly looked for Jiang Mengyue, but Jiang Mengyue disappeared as if she had evaporated from the world.

"Aunt, the back window of the second young lady's room is open. Did the young lady jump out of the window and escape?" the little maid asked.

The old aunt looked ugly, "Look for her quickly! Look also outside the villa, we must find the second young lady!"

The people in villa were anxious. Where did the second young lady go?

.........

Another place, the Jin family in the capital.

Jin Jingxiu was locked in the room and thought about his mistakes. Madam Jin did not allow anyone to let him out. If anyone dared to let him go privately, he would be punished according to family law.

Only when Jin Jingxiu realized that he was wrong and went to the Marquis Mansion to plead guilty could he be let out.

Jin Jingxiu was so angry that they asked him to plead guilty? 

He stayed behind closed doors, saw no one, and just stayed in the house.

The young man was worried, fearing that the young master would make himself sick.

"Master, just admit your mistake. It will be a problem if you continue like this..."

"I'm not going!" Jin Jingxiu snorted coldly.

"Master, don't you want the roast duck outside? And the peach blossom stuffing..." the boy persuaded, trying his best to make the master admit his mistake.

Jin Jingxiu was determined not to admit his mistake. He felt that he was not wrong at all. It was the Marquis Mansion and that hateful woman Jiang Ning who were wrong! 

"Master..."

The young man worked hard, the eldest young master has a stubborn temper, but if he continues to be locked up like this, it will really make him depressed.

The boy thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Master, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about Second Miss Jiang..."

"Yue'er?"

When Jiang Mengyue was mentioned, Jin Jingxiu reacted immediately.

"Yes." The boy nodded, "If you offend the Marquis Mansion like this, wouldn't it bring hatred to Second Miss Jiang? You have harmed Miss Jiang!"

Jin Jingxiu's expression changed drastically and he became panicked.

It's okay for him to suffer a little, but Yue'er can't suffer.

I don’t know what kind of suffering Yue’er is experiencing in the remote villa...

No! He can't go on like this, he is going to the villa to bring Yue'er back!

Seeing that the young master had listened, the young man struck while the iron was hot and said, "Master, don't you think so? Why don't you just give in and go to the Marquis Mansion to plead guilty..."

Jin Jingxiu frowned, "Okay, let me think about it, you can go out."

"Okay." The boy responded happily and backed away.

As soon as the boy went out, Jin Jingxiu's expression immediately changed, "I have to bring Yue'er back. Yue'er is so pampered, how can she suffer... The Marquis Mansion doesn't want Yue'er, I do!"

Jin Jingxiu stood up, walked to the door, and took a look through the gap. There were servants guarding the door. Unless he went to the Marquis Mansion to admit his mistake, he would never be let out.

It seems that the only option is to jump out of the window.

He walked to the back window, opened it, and climbed out.

By the time the Jin family discovered that Jin Jingxiu was missing, Jin Jingxiu had already hired a carriage and left the capital.

Mrs. Jin was shaking with anger, "This traitor! I usually tolerate him too much, but he dares to sneak away!"

"Madam, it's all my fault. I didn't keep an eye on the young master..."

The young man cried sadly. He thought the eldest young master had figured it out, but he didn't expect the eldest young master to escape secretly.

Mrs. Jin snorted coldly, "If he dares to run out, don't come back again! Don't open the door for him! And notify the Jin family's shop that no one is allowed to keep him or give him any money!"

At this time, Jin Jingxiu's thoughts were all about Jiang Mengyue.

"Yue'er, I'll pick you up right away...I won't let you suffer at all."

Jin Jingxiu asked the coachman to drive faster, wishing he could rush over to see Yue'er right now.
