Chapter 344 Escaping the Huang Mansion 10

344, Escape from the Huang Mansion 10

Lu Renkui went to the kitchen, sat down with her rice bowl to eat, and went over the plot about the Huang family in her mind.

The story of the Huang family begins with the two main characters being invited by Master Huang, as friends of an old friend of Master Huang, to celebrate Master Huang's birthday.

During dinner, everyone was waiting for Master Huang, the birthday celebrant, to arrive, but he didn't come. Instead, the steward was heard saying in a panic, "Master is dead! Master is dead!"

I don't remember much about the plot or the details of Lu Renkui's investigation, but I do remember that the relationships between the characters were quite complicated, and that the final culprit turned out to be the butler.

However, this was not what Lu Renkui needed to worry about at the moment. Her priority was to eat and then do the things Huang Muyan had given her—on the way to lunch, Huang Muyan had already instructed her to go out and pawn the jewelry in the wooden box later.

After stuffing two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, Lu Renkui looked up in the direction of the dining hall and began to guess what the people inside were doing at that moment.

The atmosphere in the dining hall was not good. Huang Huoli, the second son of Master Huang, and Huang Yihan, the third son of Master Huang, had always been at odds, and their respective birth mothers also disliked each other.

Huang Shuiyun, the eldest son of Mr. Huang, also couldn't understand his two eldest younger brothers, so he didn't say anything to ease the tension.

Wang was serving food to Huang Muyan, but she was secretly hoping that Huang Muyan would give up her studies.

Huang Muyan pretended not to understand and only ate a few bites of food before she couldn't eat anymore—the atmosphere in the restaurant made her feel a bit oppressed.

"I'll ask Xiao Wan later if she can get me a plate of snacks from the kitchen." Huang Muyan sighed inwardly and began to think about when she could finally leave the dining hall.

Seeing that her daughter didn't seem to understand what she was saying, Wang's attention was drawn to the jealous fourth and fifth wives, and she joined the battle for Master Huang.

Huang Muyan had nothing to do, occasionally stuffing food into her mouth with her chopsticks. Watching everything happening in the dining hall, she wanted to leave even more.

With time running out, Huang Muyan was finally able to leave the dining hall. She hurriedly took "Xiao Wan" back to her room, found a wooden box, placed it in "Xiao Wan's" hands, and instructed "Xiao Wan": "Be careful on the way. Hide the money well once you get it, and don't let anyone see it."

Lu Renkui nodded to indicate that he understood, and then followed the group of shoppers to the town not far from the Huang residence.

After asking for directions, Lu Renkui found the pawnshop and engaged in a long bargaining session with the owner, eventually obtaining a considerable amount of copper coins and silver notes.

Lu Renkui put the pawn ticket into the wooden box and carried it back to the Huang residence, handing the box full of money to Huang Muyan.

By this time, many guests had arrived one after another, and most of the patrolling servants had been reassigned by the steward to the place where Master Huang was holding his birthday banquet.

Huang Muyan beckoned to Lu Renkui, who was inside Mu Wanqing's body. After Lu Renkui walked over, Huang Muyan said, "Xiao Wan, could you bring me back a plate of snacks and put it on my desk? I have something to do. You can go play for a while after you get the snacks."

Lu Renkui guessed that Huang Muyan probably wanted to retrieve the jewelry box that she had hidden in the garden of the courtyard where the current Sixth Madam lived. So he accepted Huang Muyan's task and thought about going to find Mu Baiyuan later to tell him about the escape plan.
