    Chapter 248 Don't Hate Me Anymore

    The roar of muffled thunder rolled across the dark night sky, and the torrential rain crashed down on the trees outside the window, making a continuous click. The rain dripped from the window, forming a rain curtain one after another, reflecting the candlelight and emitting light.

    Zhuang Mingxi sat at the round table in front of the window, staring at the bowl of dark soup "medicine" on the table in a daze. As the steam evaporated, a pungent smell of "medicine" slowly dissipated.

    A bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, and the pitch-black earth suddenly became like day, and at the same time, her pale face was clearly reflected.

    She fixed her eyes on the bowl of 'medicine', her eyes flashed with determination, she reached out to get the bowl of 'medicine', but the next second, she retracted her hand hesitantly, and the other hand couldn't help but caress her On her lower abdomen, she lowered her head, her lips trembling a little.

    Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window, and then, the magpie rushed in in a panic,

    "It's not good, Miss, the officers and soldiers broke in and said they were going to arrest Miss."

    "Arrest me?" Zhuang Mingxi was startled, "Why did the officers and soldiers arrest me?"

    "It is said that the young lady colluded with Yan Xiao to punish the young lady's crime."

    There was a sudden explosion of thunder outside the window, and Zhuang Mingxi shuddered and fell on the chair. There was an unconcealed panic on her face, she covered her face, "It's over, it's over, it's over..."

    She murmured, her body trembling for a while.

    As the clamor and footsteps of the officers and soldiers got closer and closer, Zhuang Mingxi suddenly cheered up and stood up, "I can't sit still, I can't be taken away by the officers and soldiers"

    After she finished speaking, she rushed to the cabinet, took out all the silver bills, stuffed them into her arms indiscriminately, took out a few more silver bills and stuffed them into the hands of the magpie, and said to her: "When disaster strikes, we will fly separately from now on. In the beginning, you are free, and you will take care of yourself in the future." After she finished speaking, she threw the candle on the 'bed', and the flame immediately ignited the gauze curtain and rushed up. middle.

    Zhuang Mingxi turned around and rushed out of the room 'door'.

    As soon as she got out of the 'door', she saw that officers and soldiers with torches had rushed into the courtyard. She hurried to one side and walked out of the courtyard through another road. The attention of the officers and soldiers was distracted by the fire, and no one paid attention. To Zhuang Mingxi, the master and servant, who were hidden in the dark.

    Out of the yard, Zhuang Mingxi ran all the way to the back 'door', but found that the back 'door' had been controlled by officers and soldiers. The visitor is a magpie.

    Zhuang Mingxi covered her chest to calm her heartbeat, and she pulled the magpie to a secret place: "You haven't left yet?"

    The magpie shook his head: "The magpie has no relatives and no reason. Except for the young lady, the magpie does not know who to trust. There is no place for the magpie to live in the world. The young lady should let the magpie follow the young lady. Whether it is life or death, the magpie has no regrets. "

    At a critical juncture, there are still people who can stay with her. Zhuang Mingxi was moved for a while, and he held the hand of the magpie and was speechless for a while. She looked at the back door and said sadly, "Even if I want to take you away, it won't work. The exit is guarded by officers and soldiers, and none of us can leave."

    The magpie said: "Miss, I know there is another place to go out, but I have to aggrieve Miss..."

    After some tossing, Zhuang Mingxi and Magpie got out of a dog's 'hole' in the mansion. The two of them ran hand in hand, and the rain fell on them mercilessly, soaking them in an instant. A dull thunder rolled over their heads, and the two of them were terrified and 'crossed' in their hearts, and they didn't know whether it was tears or rain on their faces.

    When passing through the gate of the main gate, the two wanted to sneak past quietly while taking advantage of the darkness, but they didn't expect that the god of heaven was not beautiful, and suddenly a flash of lightning exposed the two of them and was discovered by the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers shouted and immediately chased after him.

    The master and servant held hands and threw their 'legs' and ran wildly. Seeing the officers and soldiers getting closer and closer, the master and servant were in a hurry. Just when Zhuang Mingxi thought that he was doomed this time, suddenly one person rode through the heavy rain curtain and rushed towards the two of them. A flash of lightning illuminated his face, but it was Qiao Da, who was rumored to have died at the hands of officers and soldiers.

    Just when Zhuang Mingxi was shocked, Qiao Da had already galloped to Zhuang Mingxi's side, bent down and grabbed Zhuang Mingxi onto the horse.

    "Miss, ma'am" Magpie shouted after chasing.

    Zhuang Mingxi turned around and said to Qiao Da, "There are magpies, so take them with you."

    Qiao Da's voice revealed exhaustion: "The horse can't carry three people"

    "You can't leave the magpie, or I won't leave," Zhuang Mingxi shouted.

    Seeing her resolute expression, Da Qiao had no choice but to ride his horse back to the magpie's side, and after dismounting, he put her on the horse again. On the other hand, he performed light work and chased after the horse.

    "Release arrows, release arrows, don't let them run away," the officers and soldiers shouted behind them.

    Then, there was only a constant whizzing sound, and countless sharp arrows 'shooted' at the three of them. Qiao Da tried his best to put the arrow down under his crotch, while using a whistle to direct his horse to rush into the alley to avoid the officers and soldiers.

    The three came to a ruined temple to take shelter temporarily, and Qiao Da drove the horse far away to divert the officers and soldiers.

    The magpie helped Zhuang Mingxi into the ruined temple, and after a while, Qiao Da, who had dealt with everything, also came in.

    Qiao Da 'handed' a black box into Zhuang Mingxi's hands.

    Zhuang Mingxi took it, raised his head and looked at Qiao Da suspiciously. In the darkness, he could faintly see the light in his eyes.

    "what is this?"

    Qiao Da's voice was a little hurried and a little weak: "This is all my savings for so many years, a total of 200,000 taels, I have been guarding today, so these silvers are deposited in the bank in the name of others, the government can't check I don't have any other relatives, so I'll give it to you." Then, he handed her a half 'jade' pendant, "With this, you can go and extract the silver. I have a small boat docked at the Grand Canal Pier. The ship is unknown to the officers and soldiers. It is my last life-saving charm. When the officers and soldiers are all gone, you can take the magpie and take the money and go. In the future, you will find a place to live a good life, and you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life. It's my heart for you."

    Hearing the last words in his tone, Zhuang Mingxi felt a chill in his heart for no reason: "What about you? Aren't you with us?"

    As soon as the words fell, Qiao Da's body swayed and suddenly fell to the ground. Zhuang Mingxi's heart tightened, and he rushed to his side and shook him: "Qiao Da, what's the matter with you?"

    Seeing this scene, the magpie ran to the other side of Qiao Da. She took out the fire book. The fire book was wrapped in waterproof greaseproof paper. It was not soaked by water. He cried out: "Miss, Gang Master Qiao was shot by an arrow, and he still has stab wounds on his body. He is bleeding."

    "Ah" Zhuang Ming was in a panic and couldn't tell how she felt. She looked at him and lowered her voice: "Since you're not dead, why didn't you go by boat? If you left, it wouldn't be like this now. ."

    Qiao Da squatted on the ground and wriggled, as if he wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up. Zhuang Mingxi had always wanted him to die, wanted to drink his blood and eat his 'flesh' in revenge for being humiliated by him, but now that he was about to die right in front of her eyes, for some reason, she couldn't be happy at all.

    "Magpie, he thinks of it, let's help him up." Zhuang Mingxi's voice choked.

    The two carefully helped him sit up together, and Zhuang Ming was shocked to find that he had stab wounds all over his body, and the deepest slash was on the 'chest', almost to the bone. Zhuang Mingxi was so frightened that she burst into tears.

    "This time, it's all the work of that bastard Nicholas Tse..." Qiao Da looked at Zhuang Mingxi and said weakly, "I know he won't let me go, and he won't let you go, so I just leave if I'm not worried. I stayed outside your 'door' for half a month, and sure enough, I saw officers and soldiers approaching the 'door'. In ordinary days, those officers and soldiers are my opponents, but I am hurt..."

    Zhuang Mingxi remembered that Qiao Da was running wildly in the rain, maybe that accelerated the deterioration of his injury, but because of her request, he didn't even care about his own life...

    Tears fell unconsciously.

    When Qiao Da saw it, he reached out and stroked her face. Zhuang Mingxi instinctively wanted to avoid it, but in the end he let his hand slowly wipe away the tears from her face.

    His face was uglier than ever because of his pale face under the firelight, and there was a stench on his body, but Zhuang Mingxi didn't have any disgust this time.

    "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. The first time I saw you, I felt as if I had seen a fairy. You can write, draw, and be sensible, but you are as pungent as a little chili pepper. Just thinking, I must marry this 'woman' as a wife..." He looked at her with a surprisingly gentle gaze.

    Zhuang Mingxi's tears fell again

    "But I know you look down on me and despise me. I'm a rude person. I don't know anything except wielding knives and wielding swords. You don't even want to buy a hairpin. It's no wonder you don't like me when you look like this. I know you've been perfunctory with me, you never planned to marry me, but it doesn't matter, I'm willing to be nice to you, I'm willing to protect you..."

    "Qiao Da..." Zhuang Mingxi cried out.

    Qiao Da smiled slightly, his face even more sinister, but Zhuang Mingxi never looked away.

    "Mingxi, I can't do it anymore... After I die, don't hate me anymore..."

    Qiao Da's eyes froze, and his hand slipped from her face.

    Zhuang Mingxi was in severe pain, grabbed his slipping hand and cried: "Qiao Da, I have your baby, don't you always want me to have a baby for you? I will marry you and have a baby for you, but you don't want it. Die... Qiao Da, Qiao Da... don't leave our mother and son... I don't hate you anymore, I don't hate you anymore..."

    The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, the muffled thunder is constantly roaring, the heaven and earth are in chaos, and all the joys and sorrows are hidden in this chaos...

    Because of the heavy rain, the fire in Zhuang Mansion was quickly extinguished, but since that night, Zhuang Mingxi seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one knew her news. The second concubine cried out in front of Zhuang Mingxi's "door" when she learned of this, but Zhuang Xinchuan took advantage of this opportunity to occupy the mansion and Taiping tea shop.

    It is a pity that without the backing of the prefect of Hu, plus there were too many people who had been convicted by Zhuang Mingxi, and Zhuang Xinchuan himself did not have much ability, the tea shop quickly fell into trouble. The second concubine lost all the 'private' house money in her hands. The mother and son were driven into the street penniless.

    Zhuang Xinchuan beat his wife to vent his anger.Liu Bijun fought against him, shouted, and told the fact that Zhuang Xinchuan did not mention it. It turned out that he and Linger were frightened when they were arrested that night. Since that day, he has not been able to have sex at all.Liu Bijun was embarrassed to speak up and kept concealing it. Now that Zhuang Xinchuan is poor and white, Liu Bijun couldn't bear it any longer, and soon ran away with a merchant from the north.

    On the Zhuang family's side, when autumn and winter came, Qin Tian felt unwell, and when he came to see Doctor Zhou, it turned out to be a big surprise, she was pregnant.
