On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 271 Marriage 2
Mrs. Wu felt that she had been deceived. She had heard in the past that the families of high-ranking officials had big businesses, and the big ones could run horses.

But now when we come to the General's Mansion, it is not much different from the County Magistrate's Mansion and the Jiang family. It's just that the building is more exquisite and the place looks a little bigger.

But Wu didn't know that the gap between the county magistrate's wife and the general's wife was worlds apart. There was a huge difference.

And for Yuhang, Wuning County is also small and remote, and housing and land prices are extremely cheap.

As for Yuhang, every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Magistrate Chen is also the largest official in Wuning County, so the house prepared for the magistrate will certainly not be bad.

The Jiang family's hometown is in Wuning County. After they became successful, they must have renovated their old house. The Jiang family that the Xiao family sees now was bought a few years ago by the neighbors' houses and rebuilt them. Of course, it is large. And grand.

But before Wu could think of this, she felt that the General's Mansion was not a very luxurious place, and she didn't know that the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion was not far away. Anyone who was not a close general of King Jin'an was not qualified to live near this place.

Mrs. Wu remembered what Xiao Xiao said to her and told her not to be afraid. From now on, her niece would be the eldest young lady of the general's mansion, and she would also be considered her family.

Then she is at home now, so what does she have to be afraid of?
After Wu finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Li still looking at her with wide eyes. She suspected that her ears were not very good, or that her Mandarin was not very standard, so she spoke again.

Mrs. Li couldn't stop laughing. She didn't expect the Xiao family to be so difficult to deal with. She even sent them generous gifts, but she still couldn't stop them.

She couldn't hold back her smile anymore, and simply said with a stern face: "Marriage is not only a matter of parents' order, but also a matchmaker. It must also be a good match."

Wu was not a fool. As soon as she heard her words, she knew that she disliked the Xiao family's low status and wanted to regret the marriage.

So he frowned and said, "If Mr. Li hadn't been saved by my three girls, he would be dead now."

"Do you want to deny this life-saving grace?"

Mrs. Li held the tea and took a sip of the tea gracefully, acquiescing to her words: Huh, so what if you don't recognize her? If you dare to be arrogant, I will simply destroy you.

If Xiao Xiao cannot marry into the general's mansion, then the Xiao family will not be safe. Therefore, at this moment, Mrs. Wu is not afraid of the general's wife at all, and said loudly: "Okay, if madam doesn't let my mistress marry the eldest son, then let my family The mistress will marry the second son of your family."

She wasn't used to calling her niece "Miss San", so she became Mistress.

She was not used to talking about her family, so it became your family and mine.

Mrs. Li was frightened by Mrs. Wu's words. She spat out a mouthful of tea. After coughing several times, she pointed at Mr. Wu and said angrily: "Ignorant fool, talking nonsense, drive them all out. I You shouldn’t believe Li Ji’s lies.”

"How dare you," Mrs. Wu was not afraid of her. She was the ignorant but was also brainwashed by Xiao Xiao. She felt that she would soon be Li Ji's future second aunt. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly: "Earlier, your second son was in the inn. , he was almost raped by a woman, but luckily my mistress saved him."

"If you don't believe it, then ask Mrs. Zhou, ask your son."

Mrs. Wu showed off the vigor she had in quarreling in the village, trying to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum: "If you don't admit it, we will go outside and find an adult to reason with. I don't believe there is no justice in this world."

"If you don't even acknowledge the grace of saving your life, then who will save you white-eyed wolves again in the future!"

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense." Mrs. Li has never spoken loudly since she was a child, and she couldn't speak loudly. Therefore, seeing that her voice was no match for the other party's, she simply smashed the tea cup and said, "Kick them out."

Although Xiao Erlang is a boy, only thirteen years old after the Chinese New Year, he is as tall as a bamboo. At this moment, he stood in front of his mother and sisters: "You don't need to rush us, we will leave on our own."

Xiao Lian also pulled Xiao Xiao: "Let's go. If we had known that the Li family was ungrateful and invited eight people in a sedan chair, we wouldn't have come."

Just when the Xiao family was about to leave, Li Yuan hurried in and asked anxiously: "Mrs. Xiao Er, what's wrong with you?"

He heard someone quarreling in the living room from a distance, and he hurried over because he was worried about his mother's safety.

But unexpectedly, he saw the Xiao family members who were about to leave. He must have stopped him quickly. For fear of misunderstanding, he said angrily to Zhou's mother: "Didn't I tell you that this is a distinguished guest who helped me? Why are you talking to my mother?" What misunderstanding happened?"

In his heart, Xiao Xiao is a good girl who is willing to help others and loves to fight against injustice, so her family members must have a similar temperament.

Then my mother might have misunderstood something, which made the Xiao family want to leave so angrily.

Mother Zhou is really a mute who eats Coptis chinensis. She cannot express her sufferings, so she can only bend her body and bow her head to apologize: "Old slave deserves to die."

As soon as Mrs. Li heard her son's words, her heart became cold.

She didn't expect that the Xiao family really helped her son. At this moment, she would rather let Miss Wang succeed than let her son be entangled by the Xiao family girl?
When she thought of having such a shameless aunt in her son's backyard, she became disheartened.

The top priority is not to let the Xiao family say in front of their son that Xiao San wants to marry his son.

Then we can only decide on the marriage between Li Ji and Xiao San.

When Xiao San becomes his son's sister-in-law, that status will be certain. From now on, Xiao San and his son will never have anything to do with each other.

As the elder sister-in-law, it is completely justified for Xiao San to help her husband's younger brother.

Mrs. Li can also tell lies with her eyes open: "It's all a misunderstanding. It's because I like Miss Xiao too much and want her to come in and marry your eldest brother as soon as possible. The wedding date is set a little early, which makes Mrs. Xiao Er dissatisfied."

"What?" When Li Yuan heard his mother's words, he felt a little disappointed for some reason. He asked in disbelief: "Mom, what are you talking about? Isn't the eldest brother's in-law's cousin a cousin of his uncle's family?"

Besides, even he could see that the Xiao family was not wealthy or wealthy, so how could they marry his eldest brother?

He was worried that his mother would make his father angry if he did this, so his face showed a bit of anxiety and worry.

But when Mrs. Li saw her son like this, she doubted whether he was really thinking about a girl from the Xiao family.

Therefore, he said categorically: "It was Miss Xiao who saved your eldest brother before. This man and woman are not close to each other. We must not be ungrateful and wronged Miss Xiao."

"Besides, your father and eldest brother also mean the same thing."

"As for your cousin's body being too weak, she knows she cannot take on the responsibility of being the eldest mistress of the general's palace, but she is also afraid that her body and bones are too weak, which will be a hindrance to the heirs."

"So the two families have made an agreement privately to terminate the engagement and find another good match for each other."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was very satisfied, but she understood that Mrs. Li simply decided to marry Xiao Xiao and the eldest son in order not to expose her secrets in front of the second young master and not to have her own family try to cling to the second young master.
