Chapter 1591 - Run Away From Home
Chapter 1591: Run Away From Home
Before dawn the next day, Duan Yingying had put everything she wanted to take with her into her cosmos sack and hid it carefully before she left her courtyard.
She didn’t go out through the main gate but left through the side entrance.
The guards and maids who saw her thought she was her younger sister Duan Linlin and just glanced at her in surprise and thought to themselves: Young Miss was punished with the Family Law by City Lord yesterday and today she could get out of bed and move about, she recovered very quickly.
No one asked why she left though the side entrance and they all busied themselves with their own chores. Soon this matter had left their minds without another thought.
The fact was that everyone who worked in the Manor knew that there were two Young Ladies. However, the elder Young Miss was deaf and mute and never left her courtyard, let alone go out of the Manor alone. Therefore, it never crossed their minds that the Young Miss who had gone out would be the deaf and mute elder Young Miss.
Duan Yingying who had walked outside was a little at a loss. The world was so big, where should she go?
The outside world was so big, she who had left home and left her family behind, felt like she was adrift on the vast sea by herself, with no idea where she would dock…
She took the opportunity that there were not many people who had awoken yet in the early morning, and went to the market to hire a carriage and left the city. She planned to go in search of her elder brother first.
At noon, in the Duan Residence, Duan Mubai who had planned to leave decided to pay Duan Yingying a visit before he left. He hadn’t expected to not find anyone in the small courtyard and only a letter on the stone table in the small garden pavilion under a teapot.
When he saw the letter, Duan Mubai’s eyebrows raised and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He opened the letter, and when he had finished reading the letter, his face sank. With the letter in his hand, he went to the main courtyard.
The City Lord had thought it would be a good idea to see his second brother off today. What he hadn’t expected was to see his second brother walk over angrily.
“Second Brother, what’s the matter? Why do you look so angry?” The City Lord asked hesitantly.
“Elder Brother, Yingying has left.” He said with a heavy voice as he stared at him.
“What?” The City Lord was dumbfounded. He asked in shock: “Left? What do you mean?”
“Read it for yourself!” He handed the letter to him then turned around with his hands clasped behind him. He sighed inside, his elder brother had really disappointed him. As someone’s father, how could he do this?
When the City Lord read the letter, his face changed slightly. She knew that he was going to marry her off to the countryside, and with Linlin’s attempt to disfigure her, she no longer wanted to stay in this family. Neither did she want to be married off like this, therefore, she chose to leave and they needn’t look for her.
“Second Brother, listen to me, the thing is…” The City Lord tried to explain, after all, he didn’t expect things would turn out like this.
“I don’t want to know what’s been going on, Elder Brother. I am leaving. Do what you want!” He shook his head and walked out.
The City Lord had wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word. With the letter in his hand, he stood there with his lips slightly pursed.
She was a deaf and mute and yet she dared to run away from home with no means of self-protection? The ignorant was truly fearless.
In the evening, the sky was getting darker, a carriage slowed down to a stop on the road by the mountainside. The coachman was a middle-aged man in his forties with an honest face. At this moment, he said to the person inside the carriage: “Miss, it is getting dark. Why don’t we rest tonight and continue with our journey tomorrow?”
Duan Yingying opened the curtain and looked out. The darkness made her a little scared.
