Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

Gu Jingning felt a pain on her scalp and was dragged into the room screaming.

It was just a coincidence that Gu Jingning and the rich businessman's room was right next to Gu Zhen and the others.

Before the door was closed, she glanced at the crowd as if asking for help, but now everyone was in trouble and no one would bother with her troubles. In the end, Gu Jingning only saw a bunch of indifferent faces.

She had no idea that her niece, whom she had once bullied and humiliated, was just one door away from her.

Gu Zhen followed the crowd and knocked on the door of her room. Three long and two short knocks were the secret code they had agreed upon.

The door was quickly opened by Gu Fan. She looked left and right, and relaxed when she didn't find anything unusual.

"Gu Jingning should have been sold to this merchant by her family. I haven't seen anyone else. It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's leave early tomorrow morning." Gu Zhen felt that the Gu family should be not far away.

After all, Tancheng is a must-pass place on the route to the capital.

Gu Fan and Wei Fengrong both listened to Gu Zhen and packed all their luggage before going to bed that night, waiting to leave at dawn.

As soon as the morning hour arrived, the three of them opened their eyes.

Gu Zhen and they looked at each other, and each of them had big dark circles under their eyes.

I almost didn't sleep last night.

The merchant next door tortured Gu Jingning the whole night, making him scream in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

Wei Fengrong is an experienced person and knows that in this kind of situation, if the man is cruel, the woman will suffer.

She did not feel pity for her step-granddaughter, but rather felt happy.

Gu Jingning was a child she raised, but she was a heartless person. When she was a little older, she would help her mother, Madam Gu, to find trouble.

Wei Fengrong suffered a lot, and the most important thing was that she felt heartbroken.

Now that Gu Jingning has ended up like this, it is really retribution.

Wei Fengrong pretended not to hear and slept with her eyes closed the whole night.

Gu Fanke standing by was really tossing and turning.

She was only fifteen years old and knew nothing about matters between men and women. Listening to the painful groans from next door and the man's unbearable gasps and shouts, she felt only fear.

In Gu Fan's mind, the aunt must have been beaten, and was beaten all night long. In the end, she didn't have the energy to beg for mercy except crying.

Gu Fan kept his eyes open and could not sleep all night.

She thought a lot.

Her grandparents, her uncle and aunt, her father and mother, even the most favored sister-in-law in the family could be sold, not to mention her and her sister.

Gu Fan was glad that she listened to Gu Zhen and left early, otherwise it would be her or her sister who was beaten next door.

So she didn't feel sorry for her aunt at all.

The two of them were in a state of confusion, except for Gu Zhen who simply couldn't sleep because of the noise.

The three of them took their things, asked the waiter for directions, and walked east along the street in front of the inn. They also had some wontons on the way.

Gu Fan thought it tasted bad and was much worse than her cooking.

But I still drank a big bowl of it with tears in my eyes, plus a bowl of soup.

When they arrived at the escort agency, they were just starting to open for business. The door had just opened and several young men in shorts were practicing martial arts in the yard.

The front yard is very large, and it can be seen that Weiyuan Escort Agency is quite large.

Gu Zhen asked politely, "Hello, brothers. Is there any escort team going to the north?"

There was a war going on in the north, so not many people went there, mostly merchants. The head of the escort agency was quite surprised.

He saw that Gu Zhen and Gu Fan were only eleven or twelve years old, and the old lady next to them was also old. These three people would be a drag in any team.

I don't know what to do in the North.

But it is taboo to ask about the guests' private affairs. The escort agency manager did not ask too much, but just introduced the price. "Solo escort is 200 taels of silver, including food and accommodation. If you go with the team, renting a carriage is 3 taels of silver, and the head fee is 5 taels per person. You can choose to eat in a big pot or take care of your own meals. You can only sleep in a dormitory. The third option is cheaper, 1 tael per person, including food and drink, and you also have to take care of your own accommodation along the way."

Just like what the uncle said before, Gu Zhen knew that even if he couldn't come up with two hundred taels, it would still be enough to rent a carriage.

She took out the money given by the Shadow Guard and said, "This is twenty taels of silver. For the extra money, I would like to trouble you brothers to take care of my great-grandmother along the way. My brothers and I are young and ignorant. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us."

The shopkeeper was not polite. Two taels of silver was not a lot, but ordinary people were not well off now, so he was not picky.

"You have come at the right time. There will be a escort team heading north soon. When you reach Tongzhou, someone will take you to another team and follow the merchants traveling north and south into the north."

Gu Zhen thanked them and took Gu Fan and Wei Fengrong to sit aside, waiting patiently for the team to set off.

After about half an hour, people started to come in one after another. Most of them were businessmen, and people like Gu Zhen and the other two were a minority.

Poor people could not afford to hire an escort company, so they had to take great risks and travel on foot.

The team was ready to go. Gu Zhen and her companions' carriage was small, barely enough for three people. But the advantage was that it was not exposed to the wind and sun, and was also shielded from other people's sight.

They were arranged in the middle and back of the escort team, with the front and back being the majestic escorts riding on tall horses.

Gu Zhen felt at ease and was about to get into the carriage when he suddenly heard a deep bass voice from behind.

"Wait! Is there any room in the escort team? Count me in!"

Gu Zhen turned his head and saw that it was the merchant who bought Gu Jingning.

I only took a quick glance at the inn yesterday and had no idea this merchant was doing such a big business.

He was leading a horse, on which lay Gu Jingning, motionless and like a dead dog.

Behind them was a team of mules, seven or eight of them pulling carts and carrying goods. Two men were watching from behind, both of them tall and strong, with northern looks.

Gu Zhen's heart sank. Could their destination also be the North?

The merchant was negotiating with the shopkeeper, "I will pay you according to the second-class salary. We will take care of our food, drink and accommodation. It's just adding a few more people. You won't lose anything. For the sake of shopkeeper Qiu, please be flexible."

He handed over a silver ingot. The shopkeeper thought again and again that he could not save the face of the big shopkeeper in the capital, so he had to break the rules and let this person join temporarily.

The merchant achieved his goal and told his men to drive the mules over. As luck would have it, they were arranged behind the carriage of Gu Zhen and his companions.

Gu Zhen quickly got on the carriage.

"What should we do? If my sister-in-law finds out, she will definitely make a scene. The merchant will look like someone who is not easy to deal with. We can't hand us over to the authorities, or..."

Or buy them all at once? That's what Gu Fan was worried about.

Gu Zhen shook his head. Things couldn't be that bad. "Don't worry. I just heard two guys talking. They will stay in the capital for a while and won't immediately follow the escort team to the north. As long as we hold on to Tongzhou, nothing will go wrong."

Even so, Gu Fan and Wei Fengrong still couldn't get rid of their worries.

Gu Fan quietly opened the window a little and saw Gu Jingning being thrown casually on the mule cart, with red marks on her exposed face and neck.
