Chapter 1207 - 279: Xie Yi Escapes_2
Only two maids would come over every day to take care of her needs, which was nothing more than a half-hearted gesture.
Soon, the Lantern Festival arrived, and after selling the last batch of New Year fireworks, the Manufacturing Bureau finally had a brief respite. Pei Qin gave them a five-day long holiday — eat as you please, sleep as you please, play as you please!
Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin also packed up and left the city, heading to Daxing to visit Master Ouyang and prepare for the spring imperial examinations.
Xie Yi and Xie Ze were both taken out of Capital Jingcheng at the same time and sent directly away from Daxing.
Magistrate Xie, after serving as a county official for many years, had saved up some money. However, the County Government Office was the first to be plundered during the day of the incident, so when the two fled for their lives, they only brought some silver and valuables. When Pei Wendong learned they had over one hundred taels of silver, he did not offer further help and directly sent them away.
As the carriage gradually moved away from Capital Jingcheng, Xie Ze really started to feel more and more frightened and desperate, "Sister! What should we do?"
Xie Yi, with one hand severed and her injury still unhealed, pale-faced and with a lifeless gaze, said, "I also don’t know." Pei Wendong clearly liked her so much, yet he was so ruthless and merciless. She was filled with hatred! Truly, deeply, filled with hatred! She was now crippled because of them, and Pei Wendong cruelly sent them away, casting them off to fend for themselves where they had been rescued!? How were they, as siblings, supposed to survive under such circumstances?
It wasn’t long before news came back that Xie Yi and Xie Ze had escaped during an overnight stay.
