Chapter 653: Chapter 635 Encounter_1

Unable to resist, Qin Yi gave Su Pan’er an approving glance!

There’s no better excuse than this!

The group swiftly headed for the main gate. Along the way, whenever encountering others, everyone kept their heads down and did not dare to linger.

Only Qingwen, who was lagging last, stumbled at the gate, nearly tripping over the high threshold. Unable to control herself, she collapsed and bumped into one of the family servants guarding the gate.

All the family servant felt was a push before a fragrant breeze swept past him. Suddenly, his vision blurred and he awoke from the hallucination the rascal pig had made. In front of him suddenly appeared a group of people and a pig!

At once, he was so surprised that his jaw dropped to shout!

But before he could scream, Su Pan’er, who was leading the group, suddenly threw a silver needle, hitting him right on his sleep acupoint!

The servant collapsed without uttering a single word!

Another servant by the gate was attracted by this unusual situation!

Immediately crying out, "Ergou! Ergou!"

Seeing the other silent, he hastily stepped forward and heard his deep snoring, which made him laugh!

"I knew you had been up to no good yesterday, Ergou! Even standing up you manage to sleep, no one can match you! Ergou, wake up! Watch out, the steward might see you and dock your month’s salary. Ergou, Ergou..."

As he was repeatedly calling for the fallen servant, Su Pan’er and the rest had quietly left the manor and hurried along the main road.

Only when the manor was left far behind did everyone collectively let out a sigh of relief!

Especially Qingwen, her face pale and sweating profusely, her body still trembling. She obviously hadn’t recovered from the earlier shock.

"Madam, it’s all my fault... because I was too nervous..."

Qingwen was nearly in tears.

"It wasn’t intentional. Luckily, we escaped without much danger. Don’t speak anymore, we need to get moving!"

Su Pan’er quickly comforted her.

Qingwen quickly wiped away her tears and nodded forcefully, "Madam, rest assured, I understand."

Qin Yi looked around, gripping Su Pan’er’s hand tightly, "Everyone, try to stay together as much as possible. We can’t afford to get separated now. Although we’ve left the manor, we’re still not far from it. When it gets dark, the journey will become more difficult. Especially because we didn’t take the carriage as a part of our escape plan. If the people at the manor become aware of our absence and chase after us, we’ll be in danger!"

This surely is the most critical issue at hand!

Su Pan’er pondered for a moment, then asked, "Qin Yi, are you familiar with the surrounding area? In which direction should we go to successfully escape?"

"If we want to escape successfully, we should take a risk and cross the mountain. Once we cross this ridge and continue downwards, we’ll reach one of our hideouts. Once we get there, we can find supplies."

Qin Yi pointed at the mountain ridge.

Su Pan’er glanced at it. The mountain wasn’t particularly high, but the top was still covered in snow. If they were to cross it at night, with these women as burdens, it wouldn’t be easy!

Qin Yi understood this as well. But at this point, they had no other choice!

"Alright! Let’s go! Let’s cross the mountain!"

Having made the decision, they naturally continued along the mountain path upwards.

Towards dusk, the mountain path had been heavily trodden and was very muddy. The group found it hard to move.

Luckily, the mountain path was lined with dense trees, which concealed them from the distant gaze.

Everyone was exhausted; as it was getting darker, they reached halfway up the mountain.

Most of the possessions were now carried by Qin Yi. Nanny Zhou and the rest, despite having come from rural areas, found it hard to walk on this muddy path.

Just at this moment, the sudden sound of horse hooves echoed from ahead.

"Someone’s coming!"

Su Pan’er shouted, guided by her intuition.

Quick-witted Qin Yi pointed towards a nearby bush, "Let’s go! Let’s hide there."

Although the rascal pig was capable, it was still better if they could avoid being spotted.

They had just concealed themselves when they saw a rustic but sturdy carriage galloping from the other side of the mountain path. It quickly passed the bushes they were hiding in and raced off into the distance, soon disappearing from sight.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Pan’er’s heart thudded wildly!

Just now, as the carriage raced past them, someone inside lifted the curtain and glanced at their hiding spot.

Although the sun had set and the light was poor under the trees, that brief glance enabled Su Pan’er to recognize the person in the carriage. It was no other than Qin Hong!

"The person in the carriage that just passed was Qin Hong. Why would he come back at this time?"

Su Pan’er was surprised!

She had slipped croton seeds into Qin Hong’s food, which usually results in violent diarrhoea. Even if he found the antidote in time, he would still be weak for a few days. What exactly happened that prompted him to rush back to the manor, despite his poor physical condition?

Su Pan’er looked back at Qin Yi, who also looked worried. They didn’t say much but quickened their steps.

"Let’s go! Let’s cross this mountain as soon as possible. Once we get to the other side and find our own people, everything else will be a piece of cake!"

In the carriage, Qin Hong couldn’t help but open the curtain several times, peering at the mountain road behind him.

Just a moment ago, he had felt as if something very important had slipped right under his nose on that mountain trail.

However, after carefully observing several times, he found nothing out of the ordinary, which was quite strange!

Thinking about the audacious woman who had slipped him croton seeds in the manor, her arrogant yet charming face made him feel a bit better.

For some unknown reason, he felt restless and suddenly wanted to see her immediately. He was aware that it was already getting dark and he had piles of things to attend to; still, he dropped everything and rushed back to the manor, just to catch one more glimpse of her.

Even though he knew she wouldn’t be the least bit nice to him, he was still pushing to get close to her!

As he was lost in thought, the carriage quickly pulled up at the manor gate.

His two guards assigned to watch the front gate were gone. His face turned sour, and as soon as the carriage slowed to a stop, he hurriedly got out and began yelling for his servants.
