339. Escaping the Huang Mansion 5

After leaving, Huang Muyan thought to herself, "Make sure to lock all the doors and windows before I go out. I'll try to find out what they're up to tomorrow. If they're really after me, I'd better leave as soon as possible."

Thinking this, Huang Muyan also drifted off to sleep.

As the crescent moon moved westward and dawn broke in the east, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard in the distance.

Because of the original owner's identity, Lu Renkui woke up naturally early in the morning according to the original owner's biological clock. Based on the principle that she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well get up and do some work. After washing up, Lu Renkui went to the kitchen to get breakfast. When she returned to the small courtyard with the breakfast, she saw Huang Muyan had woken up and was getting dressed.

Seeing that "Xiao Wan" had put down her breakfast and was about to come over to help her get dressed, Huang Muyan quickly made a "stop" gesture and dressed herself as fast as she could.

After getting dressed, Huang Muyan waved to "Xiao Wan" and signaled her to come over.

When "Xiao Wan" obediently walked up to her, Huang Muyan reached out a hand and grabbed "Xiao Wan's" elbow joint, which she could reach, and said earnestly, "I've been studying outside for a long time and I'm not used to being waited on. If you really have to do chores, then just sweep the yard for me every day and keep it as clean as possible."

Lu Renkui, inside Mu Wanqing's body, nodded, indicating that he understood.

After the two finished breakfast, a maid rushed over and, upon seeing Huang Muyan, said, "Young Miss, the master is looking for you. Please come with me."

"Okay, sure." After Huang Muyan finished speaking to the maid, she turned to Lu Renkui, who was inside Mu Wanqing's body, and said, "Xiao Wan, lock all the doors and windows and come with me."

The maid who came over and called Huang Muyan looked Mu Wanqing up and down, but didn't say anything.

The three girls were walking down the street, and Lu Renkui was wondering what Master Huang wanted to do by calling Huang Muyan over this time.

Based on the original text's description of Mr. Huang, and my impressions of him over the past few days, he doesn't seem like someone who cares about Huang Muyan's studies. Furthermore, the father and daughter have many conflicts, especially regarding their differing ideologies. One of their most frequent arguments is whether Huang Muyan should give up her studies and stay home to get married.

The reason Huang Muyan was called this time was probably because of this matter. After all, Huang Muyan has three older brothers, and her opinion is rarely consulted in many family decisions. Lu Renkui began to think about what could Huang Muyan do in her current position if she were to argue with Old Master Huang and the others on the spot.

After taking a couple more steps, Lu Renkui remembered that he was supposed to meet with Master Huang, so he tidied his hair a bit, and while the two big guys in front of him weren't paying attention, he stretched out three fingers and ran them across the wall. The pads of his three fingers were covered in dust. Lu Renkui wiped the dust on his face, but felt that one layer wasn't enough, so he repeated the action several times.

Huang Muyan's thoughts were similar to Lu Renkui's, and after what happened last night, Huang Muyan felt that her parents would not give up on the idea of ​​her getting married.

"I should have just stayed here." Huang Muyan felt a pang of regret and began to consider whether she could afford to bring "Xiao Wan" with her, given that her current resources might not be enough to support the two of them on their way back to her school.

Then Huang Muyan realized that she didn't have enough money and needed to raise more so that she could run away with "Xiao Wan".

I remember there was some jewelry hidden in my old place, but after I went to school, my old place was given to Sixth Madam. I hope she didn't move those stones in the yard, otherwise I won't be able to find where I buried my box. Huang Muyan began to calculate in her mind whether the money from pawning the jewelry she could find and any other jewelry she might find would be enough to run away with "Xiao Wan"—Huang Muyan knew her parents' personalities well. If she didn't take "Xiao Wan" with her, then "Xiao Wan" would definitely be punished for neglecting her duties, and at worst, she would be kicked out. That would be detrimental to "Xiao Wan" in every way.
