On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 227 Lie 4
Those men, women, old and young who dared not come out where the cat was, immediately dispersed when they heard Boss Xiao's words.

Now that everyone has received ten taels of silver, of course they will not doubt Boss Xiao's words, so who is willing to miss the opportunity to make money?
On the other side, Chen Yibin accompanied Li Yan back to the room first.

The two briefly talked and exchanged news with each other. The most important thing was to give the transfer order to Li Yan.

"Okay, luckily you delivered it in time." Li Yan was overjoyed when he saw the order: "Thank you for your hard work. You go back first, so as not to worry Mrs. Chen."

Mainly because I spent a lot of time with him, but I had to leave tomorrow and wanted to talk to Xiao Xiao before leaving.

Of course, we must get rid of all the eyesores like them.

Outside, the Xiao family members gathered around to listen to Xiao Dalang's words, and Mochou also listened enthusiastically. Chen Erlang also quietly returned to the next door.

The four soldiers with swords guarding the door did not stop him when they saw him entering.

For a moment, Chen Yibin wanted to turn around and go out to see if they would stop him.

When he entered, he saw that the maids and wives were all panic-stricken, and even the guards were tensed up, like frightened birds.

After he entered, he saw his aunt sitting there writing a letter, so he walked over and stood beside her.

But when Mrs. Chen saw him coming in, she put down her pen and asked worriedly: "A dozen soldiers rushed in earlier and we were not allowed to move."

"Later, more soldiers came, and those soldiers who were in the courtyard all retreated."

"I also vaguely heard movement next door, are you all okay?"

In a few words, everything was explained clearly.

Chen Yibin also told the truth: "It was Sheng Qianhu, Sheng Quan and his son who came earlier. They probably want to take advantage of us and force dad to surrender."

"Fortunately, Mr. Li came in time and brought more than 600 troops. The Sheng family father and son must be anxious to return to Yuhang to plead guilty."

"Master Li also said that we will set up camp here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning to support dad and eldest brother."

In this icy and snowy environment, it was impossible to march quickly.

Not only is it easy to fall if you can't see the road clearly, but marching all night is even more tiring.

By the time they got to the city, they were all exhausted. How could they still have the energy to fight?
Moreover, in such weather, the rebels would not attack the city.

"God bless, Mr. Li came in time." Mrs. Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to ask: "Where is Mochou?"

She originally thought that they would all be handed over here, and she was still upset. If she had known better, she would not have escaped, and she would still be dead.

It's better to stay in the city. Even if the whole family goes to Huangquan Road together, they still have a neat company.

"Sister-in-law is still listening to Xiao Dalang next door. Sir, what happened to the bandits on their way here?"

To be honest, if he hadn't been sure that Li Yan had no one and no time to do this, he would have doubted whether Li Yan directed and acted in this play.

After the mother and son chatted for a while, he said with some embarrassment: "Mom, my son Meng Lang died earlier."

He said that the Xiao family had offended the Sheng family before, and in order to protect the Xiao family, he admitted that he was engaged to the second girl Xiao.

After he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Chen frowning again, not wanting her to worry about these trivial matters, so he smiled and said: "Mom, you are not more worried. My son is telling you that I am afraid that some gossip will reach your ears and misunderstand me. "

"You." Mrs. Chen gave him an angry look: "You can't talk nonsense in the future. It's related to the reputation of the girl's family. It won't sound good if word spreads. What if others mistakenly think you are a philanderer?"

"Wuning County is not that big. I have chosen a lot of people, but I really haven't found a girl who is good enough for you. I have already written to Mochou's mother, do you want her to look after you?"

Although the children are not her biological children. But the two sons who had been raised in front of her since childhood were definitely closer than other children.

It goes without saying that the eldest son is filial, but it's a pity that he doesn't like to talk.

The second son can speak well and make her happy.

Therefore, she didn't want to wrong him, and she didn't want him to think that she favored the boss.

"Mom, I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry." Chen Yibin also knew her scruples and changed the subject with a smile: "The girls of the Xiao family are really brave. The third girl actually dared to lie and say that she already had Mr. Li. flesh and blood."

"I see that the Xiao family members don't change their expressions, so I guess they don't care much about that."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Chen was surprised when she heard this and asked him to say it again carefully.

Although she is not in Yuhang, it is not far from Yuhang. In addition, Kaiping County, where her brother and sister-in-law are, is only three hours away from Yuhang, so the information is even better.

Therefore, Mrs. Chen also has some knowledge of the affairs of some wealthy families.

"Li Yan's aunt has always been resentful that her concubine took the position of the eldest son."

"That's why I specially hired the concubine's eldest son to live in the house of her biological sister. She is a delicate and frail concubine who takes medicine for two of the four seasons of the year."

"Listening to what you said, I think Li Yan also has his own ideas."

Anyway, she suspected that Li Yan was planning to marry the concubine of the Chen family as a support, and then bring in a concubine who suited his liking.

However, the Xiao family were just ordinary people who had escaped from Yuzhang, but they were able to climb up to the Jiang family first and then to Li Yan. Even she was filled with admiration.

In the past, she would have definitely felt that the girls from the Xiao family were scheming and careful.

But previously, the girls from the Xiao family went to save them all night long and fought tooth and nail for them.

It was dark and I couldn't see clearly the girls of the Xiao family shooting arrows secretly, but I saw the three girls taking the lead in killing the enemy with swords.

If it had been another girl, she would have already fallen in love with Li Yan, and she would not be willing to take risks for others.

After all, the Chen family is far behind compared to the Li family. Even if the Xiao family asks for help from others, they cannot ask for it from themselves.

Just because of this, Mrs. Chen couldn't think bad things about the Xiao family, but was even more grateful to them.

Because she now believes that the girls of the Xiao family didn't have any twists and turns to save her.

Therefore, Mrs. Chen changed her tone: "The girls of the Xiao family are all good. If you really like Miss Xiao, then ask someone to marry you."

Thinking on the bright side, Miss Xiao Er's eldest brother-in-law is the young master of Huichun Hall, and Li Yan cannot be regarded as a serious brother-in-law. When the master's great cause is completed, as long as he can survive until then, he will not be able to escape the position of second- and third-grade general. .

If my son marries Miss Xiao Er, his brothers-in-law will not hold him back and can even help him.

Be it my husband, my eldest brother, my relatives and friends, most of them are civil servants.

Erlang wants to become a military attache, but his family can't give him much help. If this marriage can happen, it will help Erlang.

But when it comes to marriage, she needs to see more of Miss Xiao Er's character before she can decide.

If Miss Xiao Er had a bad temper or wasn't smart enough, she wouldn't let her second son marry her.

She kept in mind the teachings of her elders, marrying an unworthy wife would bring harm to three generations.
