Chapter 46 Ancient Shu was defeated and retreated steadily
The carriage of Mrs. Xiao and her party was very fast, leaving Xiao Ningxue and the others behind in a blink of an eye, and arrived at the entrance of the village not long after.

At the entrance of the village, Sai Qiliang, the patriarch of the Sai clan, was stroking his gray beard and leading many clansmen who were waiting for them. When they saw the carriage approaching, they all rushed forward enthusiastically.

Mrs. Xiao who came back to visit relatives today is the cousin of Sai Qiliang, the patriarch of the Sai clan. In other words, Mrs. Xiao's father and Sai Qiliang's father are brothers.

When Mrs. Xiao was eight or nine years old, she joined a large family as a maid. Later, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she was favored by the master's son and took her as a concubine.

It was also a good fate, and a pair of dragon and phoenix twins were born.

His son strived for success in his studies and became the governor of Dingxi.

And the daughter is even more beautiful, and the man she married is now a Beijing official.

Later, Mrs. Xiao lost his main wife, and Mrs. Xiao was helped upright and became the head of the house, taking her parents and family to Dingxi.

Now in Taohua Village, there are only close relatives like Sai Qiliang.

On the carriage, Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi looked at this group of plainly dressed country folks with disgust.Xiao Zhixi never hides her words.

"This group of bumpkins, poor people, look at how they fawn on you? They must be planning how to please the old grandmother, so that they can get more money from the old grandmother to spend the famine years. Heh~~ How pathetic and ridiculous!"

Xiao Zhilan raised her beautiful face, and answered the words with a proud expression.

"The old grandmother is also, but she is not a close relative, what do you care about their life and death?"

"Isn't it? It's silly to have yourself bitten by a poisonous snake and almost die."

Xiao Zhilan was half a year older than Xiao Zhixi, and their fathers were sons born in the royal family, Xiao Zhilan's father was the eldest son, and Xiao Zhixi's father was the second son.

I don't have much respect for this old grandmother who was born in a concubine's room.

If it weren't for the fact that the two prostitutes are worthless and now they have to rely on the procurator's concubine brother to make a living, how would they be willing to accompany this old grandmother on this trip?
The two refused to even get out of the carriage, and closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Seeing that the third miss and the fourth miss hadn't gotten out of the car for a long time, the executives could only walk towards Sai Qiliang with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, the old lady was bitten by a poisonous snake on the road, and she fell asleep after taking the medicine. The two ladies who accompanied her all the way also fell asleep. It's really rude."

When Sai Qiliang heard this, he said anxiously, "Bite by a poisonous snake? Is there something wrong? Have you seen a doctor?"

The executive said hurriedly, "Thanks to meeting a girl surnamed Xiao in the village who knows medical skills, she detoxified the old lady and saved her life."

"That's good, that's good." Sai Qiliang breathed a sigh of relief, wondered who this highly skilled medical girl surnamed Xiao was, and led the carriage into the village with the clansmen.

Under the old locust tree, many villagers heard the news and came to watch the excitement.

We all know that a girl from the Sai family married to Dingxi, became rich, and took away her family, but she seldom went back to the village to visit relatives, and no one even knew that she had become the governor's mother now.

Old Madam Xiao and Yufen Guilan were also crowded in the crowd, watching the magnificent carriages approaching with envy and jealousy on their faces.

They were still looking forward to Xiao Mengyao becoming the second Mrs. Xiao, but it's a pity that Zhang Xiucai, who killed a thousand swords, actually killed Mengyao!
Yufen said sourly: "What's there to be proud of, isn't she born as a maid?"

Guilan also answered: "I must have been a vixen when I was young, otherwise how can I coax the master's son into bed?" "The whole family has moved away, what are you doing here?"

"What else can I do? Be cool, show off!"

Yufen and Guilan have said a lot of bad things, and they don't see Mrs. Xiao talking, they are strange.The mother-in-law usually hates people who live better than her, and scolds harder than anyone else. Why is she silent today? Yufen lightly touched Old Madam Xiao's fat arm.

"Mother, is there something wrong with you, why don't you talk?"

The old lady Xiao sighed strangely.

"Well, I don't know how her daughter is doing, but she's doing fine."

When I said this, the scene from 40 years ago could not help appearing in my mind.

At that time, Mrs. Sai was still someone else's concubine, and was driven back to her mother's house by her original wife with a big belly. She gave birth alone and entered the ruined temple with her.

Sai gave birth to a pair of sons first, and then she gave birth to a daughter.

No one knew how angry she was at that time. She gave birth to two sons in one birth, but she even gave birth to three births, but they were all daughters. God treated her so unfairly!
Out of jealousy, she took advantage of the fact that Xiao Zhenwang's mother-in-law, Sun, who delivered the baby to them, was not paying attention, and switched her daughter with someone else's son.
Although her daughter became a young lady of a wealthy family, she must have suffered a lot as a concubine!
Granny Xiao thought about it, but tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Yufen and Guilan in a daze.The house of the head of the Sai clan was right next to the old locust tree, and several carriages stopped under the old locust tree after a while.

When they arrived at the place, no matter how reluctant Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi were, they could only get out of the carriage with their skirts in their hands, greeted everyone in a nonchalant manner, and then pretended to be looking at the scenery, and ran away.

And Mrs. Xiao just woke up at this time. When she looked at her legs, the swelling had disappeared, and the poison on her body had also been cured.

"What about the girl? Call her quickly, I have to thank her very much."

She marveled at Xiao Ningxue's medical skills, but also felt that this child made her feel very kind, otherwise she would not be so relieved to entrust her life to her.

Nanny Qian answered quickly.

"Old lady, that girl's carriage is moving slowly, and she hasn't returned to the village yet."

"Is the consultation fee paid?"

"No." Qian Momo replied in a low voice, "Third Miss and Fourth Miss only gave ten taels of silver for the consultation fee, but the executives thought it was inappropriate, so they said that they would make a decision after the old lady woke up."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was very angry.

"In their eyes, Laoshen's life is only worth this price!"

Nanny Qian hurriedly stroked her back.

"Third Miss and Fourth Miss are young and ignorant, so the old lady doesn't have to worry about them." At this time, the senior executive heard the voice and raised the curtain of the car.

"Old lady, I've arrived at the place."

Mrs. Xiao came back to her senses, and told Nanny Qian, "You send someone to guard the entrance of the village, and you must invite Miss Xiao here." The village is big, and she was worried that she would not be able to find anyone.

"Yes, old lady." Qian Momo agreed and stepped back.

The old lady got out of the carriage with a smile on her face, and entered the yard surrounded by her clansmen.

When I came, I brought a carriage of gifts, and every family had a generous gift.

After a lively chat for a while, the patriarch Sai Qiliang stroked his beard and looked at the cousin he hadn't seen for many years with a smile.

"Cousin, you came in a hurry this time, and you didn't even write a letter, but what's the matter?"

"There is indeed something."

Mrs. Xiao didn't turn the corner and dragged the patriarch aside.

"The ancient Shu kingdom has lost battles in the south, retreating steadily, has lost three cities in a row, Dingxi may fall at any time
"We have already left Dingxi with our family and are planning to go to the capital. Before the news spreads, you should prepare rice and grain earlier and go to the north for refuge."
