After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The fire in the mountain stronghold was set by the eldest prince Zhao Chengping.

While the door was open, Shen Tingyao pierced the doorman's neck with a hairpin.

The two people fell to the ground instantly. Zhao Chengping witnessed everything and no longer thought that Shen Tingyao was just a beautiful girl.

How can this be a fairy?

They are murderers.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and do it!"

As Shen Tingyao spoke, she pulled the hairpin off another person's neck, bringing out a stream of blood.

The blood sprayed onto Shen Tingyao's face, and she didn't have time to wipe it off. She turned around and called out to Mr. Zhao who was still in a daze.

The eldest prince Zhao Chengping's hand holding the dagger was shaking all the time. He was not afraid of these men in black.

He was afraid that the woman holding the hairpin would kill him immediately.

For a moment he even wondered if it would be safest to stay here and wait for Xiang Hongxuan?

Seeing that Mr. Zhao's hands were shaking and hesitant to take action, Shen Tingyao immediately took out a hairpin and pierced the black-clad man's neck.

"If you don't go, I'll go!"

At this time, the two of them had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape into the yard.

Because many people were drinking when the fire broke out, the scene was very chaotic.

Seeing that Shen Tingyao completely ignored him and was about to escape, Zhao Chengping quickly followed with a dagger in hand.

On the way out of the village, we didn't meet many people.

Even if they met, Shen Tingyao would just insert the hairpin.

"If you don't use the knife, I won't have the strength to do it."

After all, it's not always possible to stab someone's neck in one go.

Zhao Chengping had never killed anyone, nor had he witnessed such a scene.

But he saw that the girl was a little exhausted, so he also used the knife.

They thought everything would be fine once they left the village, but they were soon discovered.

Shen Tingyao ran for her life, and Zhao Chengping had never run like this before.

They just didn't know when they ran, and the sound of people chasing them disappeared.

Instead, they heard the sound of fighting, and the two men took the opportunity to find a secluded hilltop and then rested.

When Shen Tingyao had almost rested, she reached out her hand to Zhao Chengping who was standing beside her.

Zhao Chengping thought Shen Tingyao was asking him for the dagger, so he put the dagger in her hand.

Shen Tingyao said, "This dagger is for you. I want my reward."

That's one thousand taels.

With one thousand taels in Wuhe Village, she no longer has to ask Shen Jinyao or the Shen family for money.

She can buy clothes and jewelry.

Zhao Chengping didn't expect Shen Tingyao to ask for money, and he felt that this woman was a bit vulgar.

But when he saw the hairpin in her hand, he remembered that it was thanks to her that she was able to escape, so he no longer had the heart to mock her.

"Miss, I don't have that much silver right now. How about this, I'll give you this jade pendant."

"What do I need your jade pendant for?"

Zhao Chengping's eyes widened. "This jade pendant is very precious. My mother... my mother gave it to me. Where are you going?"

Shen Tingyao: "Wuhe Village."

Zhao Chengping knew where it was, it was very close to the military camp.

"I'll bring the silver to you and exchange it for it."

He thought it was inappropriate for a woman to go to the military camp to find him, so he made an appointment with Shen Tingyao to go to Wuhe Village to find her.

"By the way, girl, I don't know what to call you?"

Shen Tingyao: "My last name is Shen."

"Miss Shen, what are you doing?"

Zhao Chengping watched Miss Shen cutting grass with a dagger. She had just lit a pile of branches with a tinder.

Shen Tingyao worked without raising her head. "Of course I'm making a straw mat. I can't sleep without something underneath."

Zhao Chengping: "Wow, I didn't expect that girl could do everything. But why did they arrest you? Is it because you are so beautiful?"

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Chengping's words would have been a bit reckless.

But the last second, Shen Tingyao escaped with him and asked him for money.

There was nothing embarrassing about Shen Tingyao saying this bluntly.

Besides, she is beautiful.

Shen Tingyao was about to say that it might be because of the Shen family's affairs, but then she thought of Shen Jinyao's instructions and cautiousness all along.

So she laughed it off and said, "Haha, maybe."

Zhao Chengping: "Then why don't you get married? Find someone to protect you."

Shen Tingyao was not very good at weaving straw mats, and at the end she needed someone to help her weave it.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, help me pull it. What did you say just now? Get married? Of course you have to get married, and marry the good one if you find one."

Zhao Chengping wanted to ask more, because Shen Tingyao, who didn't kill people with a hairpin, was so beautiful.

As a result, I saw Shen Tingyao lying on the straw sandals.

She even crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

"Miss Shen, where is mine?"

Seeing that Miss Shen was about to fall asleep if he didn't say anything, Zhao Chengping quickly asked about his straw mat.

Shen Tingyao was puzzled. "Yours? Just do it yourself."

Shen Tingyao spoke with confidence, and as she sat and talked, the moonlight shone on her face, making it impossible to remember what she said was excessive.

So Zhao Chengping could only open his mouth and say, "Ah, ah, I have to do this myself? But, but I don't know how."

In the past, the palace maids and eunuchs arranged his food, clothing, housing and transportation, even though this time it was dry and rainy.

It was the guards and Master Liu who were running around.

If he hadn't been kidnapped this time, he wouldn't have known how poor and remote this place was.

Shen Tingyao lay down again, yawning and saying, "Ha, I'm going to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, just stare at me for a while."

Zhao Chengping was anxious. Could it be that he was not as good as a country girl?

No matter how beautiful she is, she comes from the countryside.

Zhao Chengping: "I'll give you money, and you make one for me."

Shen Tingyao has never been a girl with a bad temper. She thinks that is ugly.

But now this Mr. Zhao is really going to wear away all her good manners.

Shen Tingyao said quietly, "Do you really think I want money for everything? If you disturb my sleep again, I'll take the hairpin."

Her voice was soft and gentle, and there was no sign of anger in her voice.

But it made Zhao Chengping feel chilly.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Shen Tingyao had already taken the hairpin in her hand, he had to give up.

He leaned against the tree next to the fire and closed his eyes, looking aggrieved.

When Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan found these two people, one was lying and the other was sitting, neither of them moving.

Shen Jinyao was so scared that she thought something had happened to them.

When I got closer, I saw that both of them were sleeping.

Shen Jinyao was so angry that she laughed.

Xiang Hongxuan was also a little helpless.

Shen Jinyao couldn't understand why it was so dangerous outside and there was a strange man beside her.

How did Shen Tingyao manage to fall asleep peacefully?

"Hey, wake up Tingyao."

Shen Tingyao opened her eyes and saw Shen Jinyao and a man.

Why does this man look familiar?

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"Go home, aren't you here to pick me up?"

Shen Jinyao: ...
