Chapter 881: Business Deal

Xia Ling glanced at her and did not discover anything wrong. She only asked, “Why are you picking flowers?”

Xia Yu lowered her head. “I lost my way and arrived here. I saw that these flowers were very pretty and couldn’t help but pick one. Miss Ling, I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

What she said seemed reasonable.

Xia Ling sized her up again and did not see anything suspicious, so she chased her away. “Please leave. This place is not somewhere you should be. Don’t let me see you again.”

There was some ecstasy in Xia Yu’s heart. She turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait.” Xia Ling stopped her.

“What’s wrong, Miss Ling?” Xia Yu turned around.

In the moonlight, Xia Ling pointed at the flower in her hand. “Leave that.”

Xia Yu’s expression changed slightly, but she concealed it instantly after. Pitifully, she said, “Miss Ling, this is only a wildflower. Why can’t you let me go?”

Xia Ling sneered. “I don’t want to let you go. So what about it? Leave it behind.” She still felt that something was wrong. Although she couldn’t tell what the problem was, she couldn’t let Xia Yu take advantage of the situation. Thus, she wasn’t willing to let Xia Yu go with that flower at all.

Xia Yu slightly bit her lip.

Xia Ling urged her. “What’s wrong? You can’t bear to leave this flower?”

Xia Yu was afraid that she could see through her scheme, so she quickly let go of the flower and it was blown away into the trees by the night wind.

Only then did Xia Ling allow her to leave. After looking at her back view, she returned to her room to continue sleeping.

Stumbling, Xia Yu went back to the simple raft shed in Xia Shujuan’s backyard, closed the doors and windows, and returned to her bed. She quickly rolled up her leaves and saw three silky white flowers lying quietly underneath her sleeve. The flowers that were almost in full bloom looked transparent in the pale moonlight.

“Thank heavens.” Xia Yu murmured. She looked for a box and placed the flowers in it carefully.

This was the type of flower Wei Lingnan was looking for.

Fortunately, Xia Ling came late. At that time, Xia Yu already found a few of the flowers. She intended to find a few more to make Wei Lingnan a little happier and satisfy a few more of her wishes, but unfortunately, she could only bring back three. What could three flowers be exchanged for?

Xia Yu was deep in thought…

After a few days, with Xia Shujuan’s help, she escaped the Xia Clan’s territory.

As she said, Xia Shujuan was a pig brain but she was not. Combining the information Xia Shujuan gave her about the family and contacting Auntie Liu who had always been in contact with Xia Shujuan, she asked about how Auntie Liu entered the premises in great detail and learned about the tactical formation.

Perhaps she was lucky. Over the years, no one in the clan had ever tried to escape to the outside world and the internal defense was very weak. In addition, the Li Family visited frequently, so to facilitate their access, the tactical formation in the mountains did not change. Based on Auntie Liu’s recount and her own memory, she actually escaped the place.

She was finally out!

Looking up at the clear sky outside, her heart was filled with joy.

She definitely did not want to copy the scriptures in that remove mountain village for her entire life until she died! She was still young and had an entire life ahead of her! She had to live amazingly and better than Xia Ling!
