Naturally, Nan Xin would not head to the door but rather to the small tunnel she built under the wall. It was for her to sneak out and with her small body, she easily slipped out of the residence.
Crawling out of Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, Nan Xin ran in the middle of the night. The route outside was supposed to be unfamiliar, but Nan Xin had run out to sneak out when she was young from time to time.
Brr…
The cold wind slapped Nan Xin's cheek.
She looked around and found no one. Her eyes showed a trace of confusion and loss for a moment before it was filled with determination once more.
From now, she would no longer be the young miss of the Nan Family.
The mockery, insult, and so on that was given to her back in the trial would never be thrown at her anymore.
Clenching her fist, Nan Xin began to run in one direction. It was dark and no one would be able to see her clearly.
With the commotion within Nan Family Residence, they would have to deal with that first before trying to find her. And as a woman, Nan Xin knew very well that she was not valued by many people.
Would they care for her?
Even if they did care, they would never find her.
By the time they realized that she had disappeared, she would be long gone from here.
*drap* *drap* *drap*
The young girl ran across the street, ignoring how dirty she looked like. Right now, she only wanted to get away from here and to find that strange man from before. With no one to tie her down, she would be able to follow them.
When she was in a desperate situation during a time when no doctors could heal her, Nan Xin once encountered a strange man. He offered her a tempting offer, saying that he could treat her face, but she had to follow him and fulfill the condition.
That kind of condition that chilled her heart.
But she kept it inside her mind because she truly wanted to be able to live well with a beautiful face once more.
There were some thoughts within her mind that she could never accept this kind of offer no matter what. After all, she knew that this kind of condition was something that could make her loathed.
No one would trust her anymore the moment she broke the line.
But she was tempted.
And when her life was on the line, she felt that the best way for her was to follow that person. That way, she didn't have to face the consequences of being the daughter of a traitor anymore.
Thunk!
Nan Xin arrived in a quiet alley.
*pant* *pant* *pant*
Resting there, Nan Xin looked at the sky. She knew that what she had done was not something that could be forgiven. But so what? All she knew was that she would be executed the very next day if she did nothing.
She wanted to live.
She wanted to live and have a better life.
No longer bound by the so called Nan Family and those disgusting rules that the nobility had to follow. She had grown sick of listening to those rules that had been drilled into her body by her mother ever since she was young.
She wanted to be free.
Live well and be free.
The corner of her lips tugged up to form a smile. Even though she had just seen blood, it was dark. And after seeing the bloodbath in the palace in the morning, she was somewhat numb to the scene.
Her own father and Qu Fei Jiao were executed in public.
But she didn't feel any heartache.
Maybe, the ruthlessness and coldness had long seeped into her bone, making her unable to truly care about this kind of matter.
She could never see things the same as she used to be.
There were things that could change one's fate from the moment the decision was made and done.
The moment her hand was stained with blood, she knew that the future would be very different.
But she's ready.
This is the decision she made.
"You're a really ruthless little girl."
Hearing that voice, Nan Xin quickly turned around. She saw a black clothed man standing on top of the roof. She looked at him and narrowed her eyes. "I have done everything you asked me to do. Will you really take me away from here?"
"I'll naturally keep my word."
The black clothed man leapt down and arrived not far from Nan Xin, but he didn't show his face to her. He stretched his hand and two bottles appeared there. "Drink these and follow me."
Nan Xin looked at the two bottles that looked rather ominous. She knew the rules of not drinking anything strange given to her.
She looked at the black clothed man. "Will this kill me?"
"No, it won't. It's just to ensure that you will follow us." The black clothed man chuckled.
Nan Xin stared at the liquid within the bottle. Truthfully, she did think of running away once everything had been done, but where could she run? Nan Family had fallen. Mei Family would never want to accept such a daughter who had killed her own mother.
She had come this far and there was no way she would be able to go back. Gritting her teeth, Nan Xin poured the content into her hand and swallowed them.
No matter what they were, she would follow him for now.
As long as he could allow her to escape from her fate of death by execution the next day, Nan Xin didn't care that much.
She would think of the future by herself.
"Good girl."
The black clothed man chuckled. He continued to walk until they reached a carriage and pointed at it. "Get in and wait with the others. Tomorrow we'll leave."
"Where are we going?" Nan Xin asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"North."
North?
Nan Xin wanted to ask more, but the black clothed man had walked away. She was left behind, standing there with an uneasy feeling about whether she should do what he asked her to do or not.
After a while, Nan Xin steeled herself and entered the carriage. Upon entering, she could see a lot of children of various ages staying there. Most of them were wearing clothes even dirtier than hers, but some of them wore good clothes.
It was clear that some of them were only street boys while the rest were noble children. With the cleanup that happened here, some noble children who didn't want to end up dying would be more willing to do something drastic.
And in fact, Nan Xin could recognize some of them.
"Qu Yu Ni?"
Second Young Miss Qu and also one of two young ladies who came to Nan Shu Cheng Residence back then. She didn't have as much presence as her older sister, but Nan Xin could still remember her.
Qu Yu Ni glanced at Nan Xin and her eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"I can ask the same thing to you." Nan Xin snorted and took the seat beside the other party. In any case, they did know each other. "Where's your older sister?"
"She's dead."
When saying those words, Qu Yu Ni's eyes flashed with coldness.
Nan Xin was silent. She looked around, feeling that the black clothed man had another reason to collect them. And these people would have to face that horrifying condition before they could come here, so Nan Xin could guess that they all no longer have any place to return.
"You're alone?" Nan Xin asked in a low voice.
Qu Yu Ni chuckled coldly. "Else, do you think someone will follow me?"
Sensing the coldness of this girl in front of her, Nan Xin shut her mouth. For some reason, Qu Yu Ni looked very different from the person she had seen in the past. She was no longer an ordinary noble girl but rather a murderer who killed someone in exchange for her freedom.
They were all the same.
Nan Xin steered her gaze away. She felt somewhat afraid and worried.
But what could she do aside from following?
Thus, she simply waited.
And she silently vowed that someday, she would return and make the others pay for what they had done to her.
She will live better and earn enough power so that she can do her revenge in the future.
