On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 235 Making Peace
After Li Yan left triumphantly, Xiao Xiao did not hide it from his parents and two sisters, and immediately told everyone about Li Yan's purpose.

She didn't do it to show off, but to make her family feel confident.

"What?" Boss Xiao jumped up from his stool in shock: "He said he wanted to marry you?"

"Is he planning to kill the girl he wants to marry?"

"San'er, we can't marry such a person. If he can kill his first wife, he can kill his second wife."

After saying that, he sat down as if he had lost his soul.

Because he has some regrets.

He knew in his heart that if he could really get along with Li Yan, let alone San'er marry him, even if he was a concubine, the Xiao family would be able to change their family.

There is a vivid example right in front of them. Wu Dong's family, not only because his sister is the concubine of County Magistrate Chen, but also the Wu family has received a lot of benefits.

To be honest, several times, he was secretly envious and jealous of the Wu family?
He had also longed for it, how great would it be if his daughter could have such an opportunity?

Unexpectedly, with such a good opportunity now in front of him, his first reaction was to object.

Mrs. Liu glanced at him with relief, and her voice became much gentler: "My husband is right. After entering a high school, my daughter has been wronged, and we can't support her. It is really inappropriate."

Xiao Xiu also advised: "Third sister, don't worry about the Sheng family and just agree to Master Li hastily. Think about it, have you seen the Chen family's aunts going out again in the past few days?"

"A wealthy family has many rules and regulations, making life uncomfortable."

Her eyes turned cold: "We can find a way to assassinate the Sheng family father and son, so that we don't have to worry about them coming to harm us in the future."

Xiao Xiao was shocked when he heard this.

Is this still her gentle and kind eldest sister? They even took the initiative to mention assassinating people?
Xiao Lian nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "Sister is right, I think so too."

He then advised Xiao Xiao: "You see, Master Chen is the seventh-rank county magistrate, so he took two concubines. Master Li is now an official of the fifth rank."

"Even if he marries you, what will you do if he takes a concubine in the future?"

Xiao Xiao sighed: "I know you are doing it for my own good."

"But you are thinking too far."

"Everywhere has been uneasy these past few years, and their generals may lose their heads at any time."

"It's possible that he died in battle before I even married him."

"It's also possible that not long after I married him, he got into trouble."

Hearing this, Xiao Lian opened her mouth, and after a while, she said dryly: "You think further than me?"

She wants to say that you are more ruthless than me.

Why are you still thinking about his death before you marry him?

She was so hurt that she wanted to ask: If he had not died and took a concubine again a few years later, would you accept it calmly? still…

She was also very unfamiliar with concubines.

It was only in the past few days that I got to know Mrs. Chen that I knew what I wanted to do?
Every morning, I have to pay my respects to my mistress.

From what the maid next to Mrs. Chen said, is it because the Mrs. Chen is kind-hearted and doesn't want to trouble them?
Otherwise, I would have to help my wife get up and eat.

To put it simply, concubines must be able to do the work of a maid, and they have one more job than a maid. They also occasionally serve the master.

And you can't even leave the gate without the mistress's permission.

Xu Laosan and his family used to live next door to them, which was about the same size as their own home. The Jiang family also lived there, so they could only resist going out. If it were her, she would be worried that she would be imprisoned and go crazy.

Originally, she had some thoughts towards Mr. Chen.

It's not like she's a playboy. She falls in love with everyone she meets. She liked Li Yan before, but later she fell in love with Chen Er.

The main thing is that they are all good-looking and approachable.

No wonder she had some thoughts.

I am very lucky now that no one in my family knows about the little thoughts I once had.

Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to see my sister.

Boss Xiao felt that what his younger daughter said was reasonable, so he raised his concerns: "Although Li Yan is here, the Sheng family will be wary."

"But I'm afraid that they won't dare to come in the open, so they come in secret."

Then he asked everyone: "Do you think we should go to the city? Or is it safer to stay in the countryside?"

Mrs. Liu touched her belly: "Although we have now frightened the villagers, the Sheng family is an official, so they may not be willing to offend the Sheng family for us."

"Then we will be isolated and helpless, and we are afraid of danger."

"If we go into the city, the Sheng family will have to worry about the Chen family, and there are patrolling officers and soldiers. I think it might be safer."

Boss Xiao was very good at seizing the opportunity to show off, and immediately praised her: "You are still thoughtful, and you should learn more from your mother."

Xiao Xiu responded with a smile, and added with a smile: "My mother will be pregnant in the late spring and early summer next year. Whether it is to find a doctor or a stable woman, it is more convenient in the city."

These words touched Boss Xiao's heart.

He nodded repeatedly: "Xiu'er is right, then let's go back with the Chen family and the Jiang family."

In this way, there will be free guards and doctors on the road, so they don't have to worry about encountering people ambushing them.

Anyway, he suspected that the Sheng family must have sent someone to keep an eye on them secretly, waiting for them to take action when they were alone?

On the other hand, after receiving the letter from County Magistrate Chen, Mrs. Chen also asked people to pack up her belongings and prepare to go back early tomorrow morning.

Now that the rebels have retreated, it's time for her to come forward and see more wives of big and small officials in the government offices, as well as wives from wealthy families.

When everyone saw the banquet started in the back house and the singing and dancing started, their hearts gradually calmed down.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Chen have the same idea.

Even if Boss Xiao doesn't go, he still has to tell the Xiao family.

Now that Boss Xiao came to the door, he nodded repeatedly: "Then you can go back with us. We will have someone to look after you on the way."

When Lao Hou praised the Xiao sisters before, he thought it was an exaggeration.

A few days ago, he saw with his own eyes how powerful the girls of the Xiao family were, and he made up his mind to ask Lao Hou and the others to practice archery more when he returned.

After this incident, even his wife and daughter-in-law no longer objected to Jiang Yu marrying Miss Xiao.

He felt that it was better to strike while the iron was hot and wanted to take the opportunity to finalize the marriage: "There are several good days at the end of the year. Let's invite a matchmaker to come and finalize the marriage, right?"

Boss Xiao was also very happy, mainly because his eldest daughter was old and couldn't afford to delay: "Okay, let's wait for the good news."

The two families are about to become in-laws, and Boss Xiao doesn't want to see him outside: "By the way, my second girl will be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year. Uncle Jiang, if you have a suitable young man, please help me." and make peace.”

Now that he has no shortage of money in his pocket, he dares to speak more nicely: "My three girls are all good. We will accept the betrothal gift and give it to them as the bottom of the box. In addition, we will prepare some dowry. We will never sell it." A daughter opens her mouth like a lion."
