Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 399 Escape

The woman fell to her death on the spot, right in front of the Guo family. For a moment, the people around saw this and burst into screams and exclamations.

"what!!!"

"It's dead!"

……

Some female members of the family retreated in panic out of fear, while some curious men rushed forward to see what was going on.

The women of the Guo family were so frightened because they were closer, and they screamed in panic, causing the scene to become a little chaotic for a while.

Seeing this, Si He took advantage of the chaos to retreat to the side. She retreated nimbly from the crowd, but seemed as if she was pushed outside, and did not look like she was going to escape.

As the scene was somewhat chaotic, apart from Bizhu and Bilian who were following closely, and Guo Jiayu who was standing relatively close, no one else noticed that she was "pushed" away from the crowd.

Seeing this, Bizhu and Bilian panicked and shouted "Miss", but the crowd around was too crowded, some people were trying to squeeze in, some were trying to leave, and it was very difficult for them to chase after her.

When Guo Jiayu saw Si He disappear into the crowd after a while, her eyes widened immediately. Then, a light bulb went off in her head and she quickly looked around. She hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth, pretended to be panicked, and retreated from the crowd.

She ran away very quickly. Even after retreating some distance, she kept crouching, dodging left and right, and fled in the direction where Si He retreated.

Guo Jiayu had learned about Lord Yang's son in advance and had someone investigate him. He was a playboy with despicable character. He had many concubines in his mansion. It was even heard that he had tortured and killed several maids with cruel methods.

If you marry him, it would be like jumping into a fire pit!

However, she was just a concubine's daughter of the eldest wife, and her marriage was not decided by herself. Even her biological aunt had no way to do anything about it.

The daughters of the Guo family, except for the legitimate daughter, were all used to consolidate the interests of the Guo family and to find marriages. If they were lucky, they might have a better marriage, but if they were unlucky, they would be dealt with haphazardly, as was the case today.

Today, we call it "seeing each other", but to put it bluntly, they are just gifts, given away casually, just to rescue the eldest son of the eldest wife.

Originally, the Guo family had spent a lot of money on this matter and compensated the Yang family with a lot of silver and gifts, but the other party still hinted that a girl from the Guo family would be needed to settle the matter.

Yang Jiazi originally had his eyes on Guo Jiayue, the eldest daughter of the Guo family's eldest branch, because Guo Jiayue was the most beautiful and had a relatively good social status.

But how could the Guo family give their eldest daughter to such a man as a concubine?

That's why the less beautiful concubine's daughter Guo Jiayu was sent out, and several other concubine's daughters were also brought along.

If the other concubines' daughters could resolve this matter, then Guo Jiayu would not have to "see" them anymore. The Guo family had other plans, and they brought Guo Jiaqu along because they were afraid that the young masters of the Yang family would look down on them, so they had this plan.

Guo Jiayu was probably aware of the Guo family's plan, so she could only grit her teeth and escape. After all, if Guo Jiaqu was not there, she would have to take over, which was no different from jumping into a fire pit.

The thought of running away flashed through Guo Jiayu's mind, but he didn't have time to think about it. His actions were faster than his brain, and he disappeared in an instant. His mind was full of thinking: run first and think later.

The maids and guards who followed him hurriedly were unable to keep an eye on him and he disappeared.

On the other side, after Si He retreated from the crowd, she quickly turned into a small alley next to her, ran to a place with fewer people, then climbed over the wall and took a set of clothes that were drying in an empty yard and put them on. She took off her veil and tore a piece of coarse cloth to wrap her face and head, looking like a country girl coming to the city.

However, she still left a small piece of silver on the table in the yard, and then climbed over the wall and left. The whole process was very quick.

After leaving the yard, she was about to turn out of the alley, but she heard hurried footsteps coming from the alley on the other side. When she turned around, she saw Guo Jiayu running out.

Si He was originally wrapped tightly, but after a moment's pause, Guo Jiayu recognized her at a glance, mainly because of her beautiful eyes that were easy to identify. Moreover, upon closer inspection, she found that her coarse clothes were a little shorter, revealing some of her inner clothes, as well as the pair of embroidered shoes that did not match the coarse clothes.

"Jia Qu!" Guo Jiayu screamed and ran towards her quickly.

Seeing the girl running towards him, Si He stopped and looked at her indifferently.

Guo Jiayu ran to her side, stopped, and panted: "You are so brave, you dare to sneak away!"

Si He raised the corner of her lips into a faint smile, "You too."

At this time, there were some footsteps coming from the alley over there. Someone was coming. Si He immediately pulled Guo Jiayu and ran towards the alley ahead.

Guo Jiayu could only run obediently. Even though she was obviously exhausted, she didn't dare to stop to catch her breath.

After running around for a while, Si He finally stopped and took Guo Jiayu out of the alley and into the crowd.

Guo Jiayu was about to ask her where she was going, but she pulled her into a clothing store next door.

Si He was with Guo Jiayu, so she could only buy one set of clothes for her and could not "steal" other people's clothes, so as not to expose her skills.

Walking into the clothing store, Guo Jiayu immediately understood Si He's intention. If she really wanted to escape, she would have to change her clothes.

The shop only sold simple and cheap coarse clothes. Guo Jiayu took a look at Si He and saw that she was also wearing coarse clothes. Without saying anything, she casually picked up a set of clothes and went to the inner room to change.

The shopkeeper saw what was happening and looked at what was going on. He was sensible and didn't ask too many questions, as long as he could pay.

Si He also bought a set of suitable clothes and shoes and paid some extra silver to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face was wrinkled with laughter, and he was very happy.

After buying the clothes, Si He took Guo Jiayu to a remote and simple inn nearby and asked for an ordinary guest room.

Guo Jiayu remained silent all the way until they entered the guest room and closed the door. Then she eagerly pulled off her veil and asked, "What are your plans? Should we hide outside for a while before going back?"

Si He walked to the window, opened it, looked out at the street, and said, "I've helped you this far, and that's all I can do. You can take care of yourself."

Occasionally, some pedestrians passed by on the street. It was relatively quiet here and no one was chasing us for the time being.

Si He then turned to look at Guo Jiayu and said, "Since you've escaped, I advise you to stay hidden for a few more days before returning, lest the Guo family change their minds and send you to the Yang family again."

She helped the girl not out of pure kindness. Although she might have to stay outside for some time, she would have to return to the Guo family sooner or later, so she was happy to have one more person make the same mistake as her.

Guo Jiayu opened his eyes wide and asked, "Where are you going?"

Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Looking for a future destination."
