The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 4 Taking advantage of ex-husband
Xu Jing was startled, and her face suddenly darkened.

What is Peng Shi's job?She remembered that the original owner never promised to marry him!

He wants to marry by force!

Xu Jing hurriedly walked out and saw a plump woman in festive clothes with a head full of pearls and emeralds walking into the living room waving a handkerchief, followed by several men carrying various red boxes and cages.

Seeing Xu Jing, Matchmaker Fan immediately walked over with a smile on her face, still saying greasy and festive words, "Mrs. Xu, congratulations, Peng Shilang has set the date of marrying you on the tenth day of this month. Eight, that was a great day..."

"Who said I was going to marry Peng Shi?"

Xu Jing interrupted Matchmaker Fan coldly.

There was a hint of disdain in Matchmaker Fan's eyes, but she still smiled, "Oh, Mrs. Xu, it's wrong to say this. Who is Peng Julang? There are many women in the village who want to marry but can't!

Peng Julang can like Madam Xu, it is Madam Xu’s blessing!

Okay, you all put down your betrothal gifts and let Mrs. Xu take stock of them..."

"I've said it," Xu Jing said with a cold face, word by word: "I never said I wanted to marry Peng Shi. Please move away these betrothal gifts!"

"Miss!"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the door. A woman in a lake blue dress walked in quickly, and said in shock and anger: "What the hell is going on!"

Xu Jing immediately recognized that this was Chunyang, another personal maid of the original owner.

She glanced at Chunyang, looked away, and continued coldly: "If you don't move away, I will also send people to throw out this garbage."

Matchmaker Fan's expression remained unchanged, but the sarcasm in her eyes became more obvious, and the acrimony in her voice was no longer concealed, "I say, Madam Xu, if such a blessing hits your head, I advise you to just accept it.

You, a foreigner of unknown origin, have been living in our Hutou Village for more than three months. I heard Mrs. Shen say that you owe her rent money for several months.

Instead of being sold into that miserable place with no other way out, it would be better to marry into the Peng family and enjoy the glory and wealth, what do you think?

I, Fan Niang, have been a matchmaker for decades, and I think I say this to you from the bottom of my heart. If you are sensible, please cooperate with me to accept the betrothal gift. Even if you are unwilling, you will still have to go to the No. 18 day. Sedan!Don't lose your wife and lose your troops when the time comes! "

"you!"

Chunyang was so angry that he was shaking, what kind of ruffians are these!
After Matchmaker Fan finished speaking, she snorted softly, without giving Xu Jing and Chunyang a chance to talk. She shook the handkerchief in her hand and turned around and said, "Okay, put everything down and let Madam Xu count it slowly. Let's go!"

The group of men responded, put down their things and left with Matchmaker Fan.

Their expressions remained normal from beginning to end, as if they were no longer surprised by this kind of thing.

Chunyang bit his lip, feeling upset. Suddenly, he heard the woman next to him say softly: "Chunyang, throw everything out."

Chunyang was stunned and looked at his wife in a daze.

Although she had just met Chunxiang when she came back, and Chunxiang told her that her wife had changed, she still couldn't believe it when she saw it with her own eyes.

Xu Jing glanced at her and said, "Why don't you do it quickly?"

"Yes, madam!" Chunyang seemed to come back to his senses all of a sudden, and without thinking too much, he threw these unlucky things outside one by one.

Xu Jing walked into the yard and discovered that there were many people outside the fence of their house, including neighbors, passers-by, and villagers who came specially to watch the excitement.

Xu Jing saw that most people looked at her with understanding and pity, but no one said anything, so she understood a little bit in her heart.

After throwing all the things out, Chunyang followed Xu Jing back to the house. As he walked, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Then Peng Shi is clearly robbing civilian girls! How arrogant! Is there any imperial law?"

But that guy was used to being arrogant and domineering in this village. He was also rich and powerful. Many people were bullied by him and didn't dare to say anything.

But is their wife something he can even dream of?He still asked his wife to be his concubine No. 20. It was... it was too much of a lie!After Chunyang helped Xu Jing sit down, he gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Madam, if you really can't do it, let... let this slave marry you for you!"

Xu Jing couldn't help but glance at her and said funnyly: "You are such a good girl, why are you ruining yourself like this? That beast is not worthy.

Moreover, Peng Shi is interested in me, so this matter cannot be solved by just marrying me. "

However, she had just arrived and was weak, so how could she fight against a rich and powerful village tyrant.

After she finished speaking, she remained silent for a while and said decisively: "For the present, we have no choice but to leave here. I have asked Chunxiang to pawn Auntie's gold bracelet. When we get the money, we will make a good plan. "

Chunyang also heard from Chunxiang about this matter.

She didn't expect that the lady would be willing to pawn the lady's bracelet.

She looked at the lady with some distress. The lady became stronger and more stable. She was very happy, but if the lady had changed earlier, wouldn't they have fallen to this?
She sighed softly, still looking sad, "It is indeed the best way to leave now, but... where are we going?"

The three of them, alone, would be targeted by hungry wolves no matter where they went!

Xu Jing couldn't help but ponder.

She was not familiar with the Chu Dynasty. Although the original owner was a native woman, she had never been anywhere except Xijing and Zhuangzi where she lived before.

Moreover, it is easy to leave, but how to survive is the most difficult.

She hasn't figured out how to make a living in the future. She was a forensic doctor in her original world, but in ancient times, autopsy was at the bottom of the three religions. Men, let alone women, were rarely willing to do it.

But because her grandfather is a famous old Chinese medicine doctor, she has been taken around by him for medical treatment since she was a child, and she has become his close disciple. Her grandfather has always hoped that she can inherit his mantle. Unexpectedly, she chose the forensic medicine major in college without saying a word. For this reason, Grandpa was angry for a long time.

Nowadays, this medical skill can be put to use. Although the status of doctors in ancient times was not high, it is easier to accept than doing nothing, and it is also more suitable as a means of making a living...

Seeing that the lady had been silent, Chunyang glanced at her with some worry. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said cautiously: "By the way, madam, there is something that I don't know whether to tell or not."

Xu Jing looked at her and said slowly: "I don't know when it's inappropriate to talk, so don't talk."

Chunyang: "..."

Seeing Chun Yang's confused expression, Xu Jing smiled slightly, "Just kidding, tell me, it's now like this, what else can't be said?"

Chunyang coughed quickly and then said: "When I went to sell embroidery today, I heard... I heard that the current minister of the Ministry of Justice came to our Anping County to investigate a case."

But she couldn't help but think in her heart that the lady is now able to joke. If she hadn't been sure that the person in front of her was their lady, she might have thought that the lady had been tricked by someone!
Xu Jing was stunned and suddenly understood the reason for Chunyang's hesitation.

She remembered that when the original owner was divorced, Xiao Yigang had just been transferred to the position of Minister of Justice.

The Minister of Justice she was talking about at this time was clearly her cheap ex-husband - Xiao Yi!
"Oh," Xu Jing nodded calmly and asked, "What case is it?"

Chunyang's eyes widened suddenly. She said that my uncle...well, it was my ex-uncle who came to Anping County. My wife's attention was not on her ex-uncle, but on the case.

She was hesitant to tell her wife the news, because she was worried that her wife would rush to the county government regardless of what she knew.
Xu Jing knew what this girl was thinking when she saw her expression, and couldn't help but smile silently.

The case did interest her more than the man.

In my memory, Xiao Yi was a genius among all the geniuses. Everyone praised him when they mentioned him. He was indeed admirable. No matter what position he held, there seemed to be nothing he couldn't do.

Since becoming the Minister of Justice, he has solved several major cases one after another, and has been repeatedly praised by the Holy Emperor.

She was really interested in a case that even such a person couldn't solve.

Seeing the lady looking at her with slightly raised eyebrows, obviously waiting for her answer, Chunyang, although he could not figure out the current lady's thoughts, still said: "It just so happened that the aunt selling vegetables next to my embroidery shop today knew about the case. The slave said a lot."
