Chapter 170 Eloping [Thanks to the sponsor "jiaying612" for the monthly ticket support! ]

Kang Jin: "Cousin, I heard...I heard that you are going to marry a cripple?"

Molan: "How did my cousin know? This was all decided by my father... He felt that Mo'er had difficulty walking, so she could only marry that kind of person..."

Kang Jin: "How can you, such a delicate person like you, marry that kind of person?"

Molan: "Mo'er, there's nothing I can do... Daddy has decided... I can only obey..."

Kang Jin: "Cousin! You have suffered so much!"

Molan: "As long as I can see my cousin again, I have no regrets. It doesn't matter whether it's bitter or not."

Following the ship till now was the bravest thing Kang Jin had ever done in his life. Now with a beautiful woman in his arms, he had lost all his rationality and could no longer think of how to end the situation amicably.

Seeing that Kang Jin just hugged her without saying anything or taking any further steps, Molan raised her head and said, "Cousin, why don't you take Moer away!"

Kang Jin shuddered violently: "What?"

Molan: "Take me away, cousin! I don't want to go to Youyang, and I don't want to marry that cripple. Moer just wants to be with my cousin day and night!"

Kang Jin: "This... this won't do. If I take you away, it will be eloping. The government will punish me and I won't be able to take the imperial examinations in the future!"

Molan: "As long as we escape back to Bianjing and the Kang family, my aunt and uncle will not bring up this matter for your sake, and the Sheng family will not bring up this matter for my sake. In this way, we can be together forever!"

Kang Jin stood there in a daze, feeling very embarrassed.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Molan thought he was unwilling, so she pushed Kang Jin away and cried, "If cousin didn't want to take Mo'er away, why did you come here today? You followed me for such a long way and got on the boat to make me cry. Are you here to laugh at Mo'er?" Her words were coquettish and angry, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"No, no, no, cousin, you misunderstood. How could I come here to laugh at you? I just heard that the person you married had no achievements and was disabled... I felt sorry for you, so I rushed over to see you. I was afraid that you would not live well in the future."

"If the person I marry is not my cousin, I won't be able to live well even if I marry a lord."

"Cousin!!!" Kang Jin hugged Molan again.

"Cousin, let's go..."

Between pushing and pulling, the two hugged each other tightly again.

Kang Jin felt the warmth in his arms, and a sense of manly courage gradually spread.

"Cousin, if I really take you away, will you regret it in the future?"

"How could that be? Mo'er is determined to marry my cousin. Even if she has to eat coarse food with my cousin from now on, Mo'er will never regret it."

"There's no problem with my father, but my mother...you know her..."

"My aunt just has a loud voice. If I come in, I will serve her carefully and pay my respects to her before dawn every day. I will never talk back to her. After a long time, my aunt will understand my love for my cousin."

No official woman had ever said such heartfelt words to Kang Jin. He felt like he was about to melt. He wished he could rub Mo Lan into his bones. He panted and said, "Mo'er, you are willing to do this for me... I will never let you down!"

Hearing this, Molan knew that it was done!

She was originally worried about whether the fifty taels of silver in her arms could convince the ship owner to take her back to Beijing alone. Now it seems that the money has been saved and the risk has been eliminated! As long as she gets on Kang Jin's ship, she can return to the capital safely. By then, neither Sheng Hong nor Chang Feng will be able to control her.

Thinking of Chang Feng, Molan suddenly had an idea.

She said to Kang Jin, "Cousin, call the boat owner, give him some money, and ask him to keep watch for us. Go back to your own boat and make arrangements. Ask the boatman to make sure everything is ready. I will leave as soon as I get on board."

Kang Jin: "Don't worry, Mo'er, I know the situation is urgent and I won't neglect it."

Molan: "Well, I'm mainly afraid that if my brother wakes up, we won't be able to escape. I'll go back to the room to get some clothes to change, and meet up here after a cup of tea. My cousin will help me get to your boat, and then we'll return to Beijing immediately, without a moment's delay!"

After agreeing on the charter, the two men went their separate ways.

Kang Jin shouted and really called out the ship owner who was hiding in the dark waiting to watch the show. He spent half a string of copper coins to make him give up watching the show and stay on the deck to watch the wind.

Molan returned to her own room, stepped over the two maids who were sleeping like dead pigs, and took out some clothes and a can of lamp oil for the journey from the box.

Then he came to the warehouse where rice, flour, grain and oil were stored, turned around three or four times, and made sure that there was no one else there. Then he opened the oil tank and poured all the oil onto the pile of firewood in the corner.

After all the lamp oil was poured out, she still felt it was not enough, so she took some cooking oil from the warehouse and poured it over all the rice and flour, and then spilled the rest on the ground.

After finishing these things, she stood outside the warehouse, picked up a tinderbox and threw it into the innermost part - a full pile of firewood burst into flames.

She was afraid that the fire wouldn't start, so she lit the two remaining tinder sticks in her arms and threw them in. Three sides of the warehouse were on fire.

In the quiet firelight, Molan gently closed the warehouse door and returned to the deck as if nothing had happened.

Kang Jin and the ship owner were waiting. As soon as she appeared, they smelled a strong smell of oil.

The ship owner smiled but said nothing, while Kang Jin directly expressed the suspicions in their minds: "Did Moer go to eat?"

Molan didn't even need to draft her lie: "No, two new maids got drunk and fell to the ground. I went to pull them out, wanting them to sleep more comfortably, but I accidentally knocked over a plate, and oil splashed all over me..."

Kang Jin said with gentle eyes: "Mo'er is really kind."

The boat owner knew that the two maids had long been drunk at the door of her room, and Miss Sheng even spat on them when she left. How could such a woman be kind? She must have been afraid of starving on the road, so she secretly went to the kitchen to eat! But for the sake of half a copper coin, the boat owner decided to keep silent and wait until the people left before telling the other boatmen about this interesting story.

Kang Jin seemed to be infected by Molan's "kindness" and asked the ship owner a little worriedly: "If you help us escape, will the Sheng family cause trouble for us later?"

The ship owner laughed: "The Sheng family is drunk. The person they were guarding was lost by themselves. What does it have to do with me? If it doesn't work, I will go find some wine to drink later. When they ask me about it later, I will say that I was drunk too, just like them, and I didn't know." When he said the last three words, he spread his hands as if he was serious.

Kang Jin smiled and said, "The ship owner is still resourceful."

The ship owner smiled and said nothing, secretly complaining: [This girl is much more resourceful than me. She can knock everyone down by herself. Otherwise, you two will be unable to escape even if you have wings! ]

Molan was afraid that the shipowner would find out too early that she had set the fire in the kitchen, so she hurriedly said, "Shipowner, don't rush to have a drink yet. Please stay here to keep watch for us for a while. It won't be too late to enjoy yourself after we are far away." Then she gestured to Kang Jin to give her more reward.

Kang Jin emptied out all the money at the bottom of his box this time. When he heard Molan speak, he rewarded the ship owner with a full hundred dollars without blinking.

The boat owner thanked for the reward with a smile on his face, and held onto one end of the step, allowing the cousins ​​to cross safely to the other boat.

As soon as the pedal was pulled back, Molan immediately said to Kang Jin: "Hurry up, hurry up, leave now!"

Kang Jin also shouted into the cabin.

His ship was even smaller than the one of the Sheng family. It moved quickly and turned around in two or three steps and headed towards Bian Jing.

Molan and Kang Jin stood on the deck, observing the movements of the Sheng family ship.

The two ships were heading in opposite directions and soon moved away from each other.

Kang Jin excitedly grabbed Molan's hand and said, "Cousin, we succeeded!"

Molan curled the corners of her mouth and let Kang Jin hug her, her eyes always fixed on the direction where the Sheng family's boat was going away.

Seeing Molan like this, Kang Jin restrained his smile and cautiously asked, "Does Moer regret it?"

Molan then looked at him: "How could that be? Being with my cousin is Molan's greatest wish. Moer is just a little worried about my brother... He drank a lot of wine today, and I don't know if Yunzai has taken good care of him?"

Kang Jin thought these words meant missing his family. He hugged Molan's shoulders distressedly and said, "Cousin Changfeng is so mean to you, but you still miss him... How could I be so worthy to meet a kind-hearted woman like you."

Mo Lan shook her head helplessly: "After all, he is my biological brother. If I don't miss him, who else can I miss? Every member of the Sheng family treats me so harshly. If I care about every one of them, I really don't want to live."

"Don't worry, I will treat you extra well in the future. We will have many children, and you will have many relatives to rely on!" Kang Jin felt that he had a direction to work towards from now on.

Molan turned Kang Jin over to face her, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the cheek, then rested her chin on his shoulder, staring at the direction where the Sheng family boat was going away, and stopped talking.

Kang Jin was enjoying the intoxicating tranquility, while Molan was looking forward to a fireworks display in the dark night.

In the quiet night, a dim fire lit up, becoming increasingly conspicuous on the dark river surface.

A sincere smile finally appeared on Molan's face.

It worked, it worked! His long-term forbearance finally paid off, and Sheng Changfeng finally received the due punishment for his betrayal!

Molan was so happy that she almost cried.

From afar, there seemed to be a cry for help.

Kang Jin wanted to look back, but Molan held him still:

"Cousin, never look back. We must move forward together."
