Chapter 1178: Sister Jia Yin, Escape Quickly!

e legs, we do. We'll carry you all the way to the Golden Sand River.""We're all brothers, you guys go first, how are we supposed to live!"Uncle Zhao still didn't speak, but tears streamed down his che...No word was given on what happened within the palace walls, but after the officials of the Ministry of Rites entered the palace to receive their assignment to search for scriptures and devise plans for rainmaking, rumors both inside and outside the new capital grew even more rampant.

It's almost a common saying that if the goddess of fortune worships the heavens, heavy rain will surely follow.

Some believe, some don't believe, some watch the excitement, in short, all kinds of expressions have been shown.

Li Lao'er and Jia Yin decided to keep the news from Old Mrs. Li, so that she wouldn't worry.

But the old woman was "covered" her ears, while people outside were behaving badly.

This morning, Jia Yin accompanied her grandmother for a meal and was just about to find an excuse to slip out and take a look around.

As a result, Baozhu ran in with tears streaming down her face.

"Sister Jia Yin, oh oh oh, Sister Jia Yin!"

Jiao Yin was held tightly, and finally got a chance to catch her breath. She quickly pulled Bao Zhu to a secluded room to talk, fearing that she would startle Grandma.

Baozhu also knew she had been impulsive. After entering the room and seeing no one, she hugged Jiayin and cried again.

"Sister JiaYin, , you must escape quickly! Those people outside are too cruel, they want to burn you alive for praying for rain!"

“Oh, woe is me! They are all white-eyed wolves! They eat the food your family brought them and yet want to kill you! Why doesn't Heaven strike them down with lightning!”

"Woooo, my mother is hiding things from me too! She didn't tell me anything! If I hadn't sneaked to the garden today and overheard the maids talking, I wouldn't have known. I had no idea someone wanted to harm you!"

"Come with me, I'll take you to my aunt's house. Her estate is in the mountains, nobody can find it!"

She was really flustered and her words were jumbled. She was also choked with sobs.

Not only that, she also grabbed Jiayin and was about to flee!

Jia Yin was amused and touched by her antics.

Until Baozhu cried her fill and completely calmed down.

Jia Yin took the bowl of sour plum soup from Shui Ling's hand and fed Bao Zhu half a bowl.

"Baozhu, don't worry, these are just rumors. It's true that the court is going to pray for rain, but no one said they were going to burn me as a sacrifice to heaven!

"

"Think about it, I'm a county princess! How could I possibly be burned to death! Otherwise, if it were written in the history books, future generations would scold the Heavenly Martial officials and the Emperor to death!"

Her belly felt cool, and her mind was returning to a semblance of clarity.

She blinked her big eyes and replied, "Oh yes, I forgot you're a county princess!"

But then she grew worried again, urging in a hushed voice, "No, Elder Sister Jiayin. What if those people really do want to kill you and sacrifice you to the heavens for rain It's not appropriate to say it openly, what if they make a secret move behind your back"

"No, no, you still have to leave quickly! Better if nobody can find you!"

As she spoke, she took the bulging embroidered pouch from her shoulder and emptied its contents onto the table with a rattle.

solid gold bangles, hairpins, ingots, silver ornaments, and even small bills of silver, were simply everything one could imagine, with an abundance of glittering jewels.

"Jia Yin elder sister, these are all the good things I've saved up. Take them with you. Go to a deserted place and set up shop!"

Baozhu pushed everything in front of Jiayin without any reluctance.

Jia Yin looked carefully and saw that many of these things were gifts given by elders to younger generations during the holidays. She immediately knew that Baozhu had taken out all her hidden private money.

She was so touched, she reached out and hugged Baozhu tightly. For a long time, she held her close before finally pulling Baozhu down to sit beside her and speaking.

"Precious Pearl, I've taken these things. As soon as I truly feel in danger, I'll leave immediately. Like you said, find a good place to do business and open a shop. Then when we have good goods, people will secretly send them back to us."

"Well!" Baozhu finally broke into a smile, nodded seriously, and instructed, "Especially the tasty ones, elder sister Jia Yin, please bring me more."

After he finished speaking, not only Jia Yin but also Shuiling, who was standing guard at the door, couldn't help but laugh along.

Thus, the original atmosphere of sadness vanished.

After chatting for a while, Baozhu was about to go back.

"Jiao Yin elder sister, I'm leaving. I snuck out, my mother said it's chaotic outside and won't let me go without her."

Jia Yin immediately told Shui Ling to prepare some of the newly baked pastries and fruits at home for Bao Zhu, putting in extra portions.

Baozhu hugged Jiayin's arm and smiled, her face flushed.

Even as she was leaving, she still worried and whispered, "Sister Jia Yin, my mother always told me to marry into a wealthy family. I don't want to. I feel those families are too strict and uncomfortable.

But now I regret it. If I had married into the Sixth Ministry of Officials' family or a royal household, maybe I could have protected you.

"Since you were young, you've treated me like your own sister, caring for me deeply. Now that I can't even help myself, I feel so heartbroken. "

"Jia Yin sister, wait for me a few more years. When I have money and power, I will definitely be able to protect you."

Jia Yin feared this girl might misunderstand, so she quickly stopped her, "Silly girl, don't think about it like that. Getting married is a life-changing decision; you can't decide on a whim. What if you marry a bad man You'll be miserable for the rest of your life."

"Just like you wouldn't enjoy eating fatty meat every day for the rest of your life, if that were the case, wouldn't it be painful Marriage is the same. You need to find someone who suits you and someone you like to entrust your life to.

"

As for me, what about my father, my stepfather, my uncles, and my brothers! How could they possibly protect me too

"If it were up to you, and you had married someone powerful who could protect me, I might have been living freely somewhere else by now. It's really not necessary, you understand"

Baozhu subconsciously nodded and blinked a few times, always feeling that she was being looked down upon...

When the treasure was sent away, the old lady also heard the news. Unfortunately, when she arrived, she only saw a table full of gold, silver, and jewels.

Luckily, the granddaughter came back soon. She grabbed her granddaughter and asked, "Didn't Baozhu come Is there something wrong"

Jia Yin tactfully told her grandmother a few words, “Grandma, it’s nothing to worry about. Bao Zhu heard a few words from the maidservant at home and was afraid that I would be taken away for sacrifice. She specially sent me the private gold and silver she had saved for several years, asking me to run away quickly. She also said that she wants to marry a rich and powerful husband in the future to protect me.”

The old woman also couldn't help but laugh and cry, replying, "This child is really incorrigible, always so naive. But that's good, all these years you haven't raised her in vain. Not to mention anything else, the best fruits in our house, she eats the most."

Jia Yin nodded and smiled, "When I left just now, I brought two more baskets."

The old woman suddenly remembered the princess. Logically, Baozhu would have heard about it and come to urge her granddaughter to escape. The princess couldn't possibly be unaware, so why hasn't there been any news at all...

In fact, the old woman didn't know that at this moment, the princess was making a fuss in the palace.

Outside the study, Yi, the chief steward, wiped his sweat with a wry smile, stopping the Third Princess.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is indeed unwell and resting. You should return for now and come again in a few days."

"No, I must see the Emperor! If we wait a few more days, my sister will be burned to death. Who came up with this ridiculous rain prayer I'm going to chop off whoever suggested it!"

"Father, is he senile To believe such things! Let me in, I must see Father!"

The third princess, lifting her skirt, dashed straight in.
