Chapter 5: The Master Escapes Danger and Liu Xi's Uncomfortable Life in the Mansion. After Landlord Lu had made his judgment, he couldn't wait to become a lord himself.

  And Lanyu also couldn't wait to become her wife

  Here is the translation:

  "That day, from the hall to home, Lan'er said to Liu Xi: 'How was it? Did I handle this matter well?' 'Well done! You handled it well! The death of Zhao Shi and Su Qi, you are the first great merit!' 'Hehe, dead people, still talking about me, when can I be called Mrs.?'Ah, haha, this is natural, this is natural. I will send someone to prepare, you also arrange for someone to prepare the dowry, we'll choose a good day and get married, how's that?' 'This is almost okay, but what about Man Xiu? What do you plan to do with him?' 'Man Xiu? He's just a child who hasn't even reached one year old, what big waves can he stir up?' 'You can't say that, when cutting grass, you must remove the roots. Those two bastards have been coming to our house recently to ask for money, if we hadn't seen them kill Wang Song and had evidence in their hands, I really wanted to go up and slap them! What if one day we don't give them money, they won't tell Man Xiu the truth? When he grows up and we get old, how can we be his match? It's better to take this opportunity to let them do away with that child too, eliminate our worries, and send them away from here. From then on, we can rest easy.'"

  "Madam is wise! I'll go find them and arrange everything well."

  "Wait a minute, I've been worried sick lately. Suzi's execution is a done deal, and that little kid can be taken care of with just one order. Come keep me company for now!" The room was filled with Lan'er's coquettish voice and Liu Xi's flirtatious tone, but outside the window, there was a small, trembling figure huddled together in fear.

  Ling'er went to the madam's room to fetch a toy that the madam usually used to play with the young master, but when she reached the door, she heard the faint sound of a man and woman talking. Since the old master had been arrested, the madam and Liu Xi were also summoned to the hall, Ling'er found it strange and stopped to listen.

  What I didn't want to hear was such an overwhelming conspiracy

  Ling'er has been in the Su residence since she was a child and is deeply loved by Madame. She treats herself as if she were already an adult. Although she is only a 16-year-old girl now, she is straightforward and likes to help others. She knows that people should be grateful and return kindness.

  It is said that the old master was designed to die, and now he wants to harm the young master. Ling'er has made up her mind to save the young master and leave this place.

  She hastily ran to the young master's room, quickly found a basket and put the young master in it, also took out the silver coins she had saved up every day, and even put the golden hairpin into the basket.

  Manman, who had been crying and throwing a tantrum all day, was now lying in her basket, holding the golden hairpin toy, and suddenly stopped crying.

  Ling'er silently prayed a few sentences in her heart and then hastily left the Su residence.

  On the way, I met Ya Ni Xin Er, "Ling Er sister, going out?" "Yes, Madam Zhao asked me to deliver lunch!" "Oh, then hurry up!" It turned out that some of the servants were still unaware of the news that Madam Zhao had died from hitting her head on a pillar, and thought the case was still under investigation.

  Ling'er, because she was carrying a lunch basket, casually made up a lie to brush it off, and then ignored the person, continuing on her way out.

  Ling'er heard Liu Xi say "Zhao Shi Su Qi's death, Lan'er, you are the first great merit", so she thought that both the lady and the master were dead, but did not know that the master was beheaded three days later.

  Bian dragged Young Master along the small path, sprinting wildly, fearing they would be caught up by Liu Xi's men.

  Ling'er had grown up here since childhood, so she was very familiar with the road. From leaving the mansion to dusk, she had run nearly thirty miles. As night fell, she needed to find a place to stay, but Ling'er didn't dare to stay in an inn, fearing that someone would recognize her. Fortunately, not far away, she saw a village and asked for lodging. The host family was also very hospitable, and they spent the night peacefully without incident.

  Liu Xi and Lan Er had a romantic encounter, then went out to find Qian Gou'er and Zhu Bu Nian, preparing to have them kill Su Man Shu again.

  Lan'er was idle at home and thought of going to see Manxiu first. Unexpectedly, the room was empty with no one inside, and Manxiu's cradle was also gone.

  Lan'er thought it was Ling'er taking Manxiu out to play, so she didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, when Liu Xi came back in the evening, the two of them went to take a look again, and the room was still like that, which raised their suspicions.

  Everyone asked around, but only Xiner said she saw Ling'er in the afternoon, saying that she was going to deliver food to her mistress.

  Liu Xi and Lan Er were shocked in their hearts. The two had personally seen the lady die after hitting the pillar, so how could she order someone to send food to the government office? Moreover, the order was given to a personal maid, and why would she order Ling Er, who was specifically responsible for taking care of Young Master, to go? Liu Xi immediately asked, "Is Ling Er alone?" "Yes." "Did she take anything with her?" "She went to send food, so naturally she took a food basket."

  "Now the treasure worth a city has been lost in the mansion, it must be Ling'er who stole it. If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll take you together to see the official!" "No, I didn't talk nonsense, it's true!" Xin'er was scared, she thought that Ling'er really did steal something from the mansion. The master and mistress were not at home, and Ling'er could enter their room at any time, how could she not steal? Moreover, when she saw Ling'er at that time, she was indeed a bit nervous, obviously wanting to end the conversation quickly and leave."

  Ling'er is gone, and Manxiu is also nowhere to be found. It's clear that Ling'er has discovered something, and she must have taken Manxiu with her.

  "Hurry up and go to the prison cell, see if that dead girl is in there or not!" Liu Xi ordered his subordinates.

  At the same time, he had someone draw a portrait of Ling'er and sent messengers to Qian Gou'er and Zhu Bu Nian, telling them to take the portrait and quickly set out to pursue Ling'er and Man Xiu, and kill them without mercy.

  At this time someone came to report that a cradle had been found floating on the Lotus Pond, and it was Young Master's.

  Ling'er had specially tied Manxiu's cradle with paper ropes to the pillar of the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

  The rope made of paper will be soaked in water and broken after a period of time, the cradle will float out from under the pavilion, at that time everyone will think that the young master is drowned in the pool and will not come to kill him again.

  Most people believed it and even made up a story with details, which is why Lei Gongtou's words to Su Qi were like that.

  But Liu Xi didn't believe it, and simply because Ling'er said that she had gone to deliver food to the madam in the past, it could be concluded that Ling'er knew something and took Manxiu to escape.

  What did she know? Had she heard something? Or had she sensed something? Liu Xi's heart was racing as he looked at the hanging sign of "Liu Fu", and he became even more determined to kill Ling Er and Man Xiu, all of which belonged only to him.
