Chapter 342. Escaping the Huang Mansion 8

342. Escaping the Huang Mansion 8

However, Huang Muyan and Miss Xu did not get along very well, so the two did not become very close friends.

Lu Renkui handed the side dishes he was holding to Mu Baiyuan, and then asked Mu Baiyuan, "How have you been these past few days?"

"We've been very busy these past few days. Isn't Master Huang's birthday coming up? Our workload is several times greater than before." Mu Baiyuan sighed—he had been whipped again today because he had gotten up too early in the morning, which made him a little sleepy. He yawned, and the supervisor saw him. His back was still burning with pain.

Hearing Mu Baiyuan's words, Lu Renkui understood. It seemed that Mu Baiyuan wouldn't have time to scout the location these past few days, and she would have to take care of scouting the escape route.

After delivering the vegetables to Mu Baiyuan, Lu Renkui obtained a map of the area around the Huang residence from the system WQBYRZM, and then proceeded to the locations that led to the outside world.

Lu Renkui marked the passing maids and servants along the way. Calculating the time, he felt that Huang Muyan would be waking up soon, so he returned to the small courtyard.

These past few days, Lu Renkui's life has consisted of getting up in the morning to get breakfast for Huang Muyan, grinding ink for Huang Muyan if she needs to write, and then going outside to continue scouting the escape route, while also delivering food to Mu Baiyuan.

Sometimes Huang Muyan would ask Lu Renkui, who was inside Mu Wanqing's body, to deliver a message. After Lu Renkui delivered the message, he would tell Huang Muyan in detail how many people he had encountered on the way. Huang Muyan probably needed to know the patrol routes of the people on each road at each time point so that she could successfully run to the Sixth Concubine's courtyard on the day of Master Huang's birthday party and dig out the jewelry box that she had buried underground.

A few days passed, and then it was Mr. Huang's birthday.

There's still half a day until Master Huang's birthday banquet, but Lu Renkui still gets up early to go to the kitchen to serve Huang Muyan breakfast.

After Huang Muyan finished breakfast, Lu Renkui took the food back to the kitchen. On her way back, she heard someone calling, "Hey, you over there, come here."

Lu Renkui glanced around. The only person around was Mu Wanqing, who was inside Mu Wanqing's body. So the person calling out was probably herself.

Following the direction of the sound, Lu Renkui found himself running into someone he knew fairly well—Feng Yue.

"Sister Fengyue, what's wrong?" Lu Renkui walked up to Fengyue, trying his best to appear timid and fearful.

Feng Yue didn't speak first. Instead, she looked him up and down before realizing, "Oh, it's you."

Then Fengyue waved her hand and said, "Come with me, we're short one person to move things."

“But Miss is also waiting for me…” Lu Renkui had a vague feeling that something was wrong and wanted to refuse.

"Young Miss, have you gone to serve the young lady?" Feng Yue turned her head and looked the girl in front of her, who was shorter than her, up and down.

“Then come with me. Miss doesn’t have much to do. She’ll understand if it takes up a little of your time.” Feng Yue turned her head and walked straight ahead.

Lu Renkui had no choice but to follow, and casually touched everything she could find along the way, wiping the dust that had stuck to her face evenly. She then secretly checked her reflection in the water to make sure that the dirt on her face was well hidden. Still with a heavy heart, Lu Renkui followed Fengyue to the place where things were being moved.

Fengyue instructed someone to place a large wooden box in Lu Renkui's hands, who was inside Mu Wanqing's body, while she herself carried several bolts of silk and walked ahead.

As they walked, Fengyue continued to chatter: "Put this big wooden box under the red coral bonsai in the First Madam's room; then go and call Shuiqiu over, tell her to go to Hongxuan Pavilion, I'll wait for her there."

"Go find Granny Wang, who is in charge of jewelry, and tell her that the Hu family sent a large box of jewelry as a gift. Go with Granny Wang to deliver these jewelry pieces to the wives of each household."

"You should also pick out some jewelry and accessories that suit the young lady and send them to her."

"Okay, sure." Lu Renkui kept responding, mentally reviewing all the instructions Feng Yue had given him.

After much effort, the large wooden box was delivered to Madam Wang's room, where Lu Renkui indeed saw a pot of red coral placed on a solid wood brown table.

Lu Renkui didn't put the wooden box under the table directly. Instead, he went to find Wuchou and asked her where he wanted to put the large wooden box.

Wuchou opened the large wooden box and looked inside, discovering that it contained a small bonsai made of jade.

"Put this on that pear wood octagonal table," Wuchou said, then went to prepare the clothes Wang would wear that evening.
