On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 336 Chase 9
Mrs. Li also smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, if all the aunts are gone, how can I explain to the general?"

"Besides, Li Ji may not die outside. If he comes back and finds that his mother and daughter-in-law are dead, I'm afraid he will misunderstand me."

Even though she used to wish that this annoying eldest son of a concubine would die outside, now she hopes that he can come back alive.

Otherwise, who would fight the rebels?
If the rebels don't leave, she won't be able to return to the general's mansion.

She spent her days hiding here and there in such a state of uneasiness.

Mrs. Chen shook her head and sighed: "You, you, I asked you to deal with Li Ji early, but you kept nagging. Now it's difficult to deal with him."

"If he can come back alive, the general will be afraid of death."

Mrs. Li felt irritated after hearing this, and she said with a face: "Sister-in-law, are you going to take care of them for me?"

She now understands her eldest sister-in-law, and if she opens her mouth to help, she will have many excuses to refuse.

Anyway, she was just fanning the flames, and then she wanted to watch the flames from the other side.

After saying that, when they saw Xiao Xiao coming over, they both sat there with an upright posture, waiting for Xiao Xiao to greet them.

They thought it was impossible for Xiao Xiao to hear what they said from such a distance.

But in fact, Xiao Xiao heard everything.

Hey, this is the disadvantage of hearing differently than ordinary people. She actually doesn't really want to hear some gossip.

Because I felt very depressed and aggrieved after hearing this, I still had to salute and say hello to them: "Good morning, mother, and hello, aunt."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Li started to find fault angrily: "Where's Aunt Mo? Why are you so arrogant? Do you have to wait for me to go and say hello to her?"

Although the people who came to report earlier also said that Aunt Mo and the others were frightened and had a fever.

But now that Mrs. Li was angry, she selectively forgot those words.

Mrs. Li's words were serious. If it had been anyone else, she would have immediately knelt down to apologize.

But Xiao Xiao saw that the ground was not flat stone bricks, but yellow mud. Naturally, he did not want to harm his knees. Instead, he looked aggrieved: "Madam, you misunderstood. Originally, Aunt Mo wanted to come to pay your respects, but she had a fever. It was so serious that I was worried that Aunt Mo was overcoming her illness, so I stopped her."

"I didn't expect Madam to care so much about Aunt Mo, so I'll have someone help Aunt Mo over now."

Mrs. Chen started to speak strangely again: "Aunt Mo is really precious. We are not sick yet, but she is sick first."

Then he looked at Mrs. Li: "Sister, you are the mistress of the house, and it is your responsibility as a legitimate mother to take care of your concubines and children. Why do you have to go see Aunt Mo?"

She thought Aunt Mo was just making excuses.

In the past, the Chen family also had a favored aunt, who was as if she had swallowed the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and dared to use the excuse of being unwell to refuse to pay her respects.

And she immediately called the doctor in the mansion to visit her aunt.

As a result, the doctor diagnosed my aunt as healthy, and she immediately found an excuse to be depressed.

Even though the husband feels distressed, he doesn't feel so distressed anymore when he sees the beauty he sent.

Therefore, she felt that Aunt Mo was also pretending to be ill.

What she dislikes the most is such a person, so she wants to use this incident to let Mrs. Li know that she is really doing her best.

"How can I let my mother and aunt visit my aunt?" Xiao Xiao not only did not stop her, but pretended to be uneasy. It was indeed their good intentions, but they were afraid that the two ladies would be sick.

It's not that he really cares about them, but that he doesn't have enough medicinal materials.

Let them see it now and see if they are afraid?
To be honest, Xiao Xiao admired them very much. They were all fleeing. Who would have thought that the matron of the house, who usually only knows how to admire flowers, watch theater and manage the inner house, could be so courageous?

Since they still have the energy to find trouble, let them open their eyes.

There are only two rows of houses here that have been newly renovated, and the fruits grown here are very delicious. The youngest son of Mrs. Chen's mother-in-law was assigned to take care of things here.

But that kid also wanted to enjoy himself. He thought the house here was too short and too old, so he insisted on building a new house.

Mrs. Chen had to rely on a rich mother-in-law who loved her little son, so she actually gave him fifty taels of silver.

The boy asked the tenants to help repair the houses without paying wages. After repairing the five houses, he didn't even live in them himself, so he gave Mrs. Chen and the others a benefit.

Behind the new house are the original three old houses, which were originally occupied by the maids and women who were needed by the two ladies. But now that the eldest mistress is here, of course they have to be let out.

When the two ladies walked in, they saw a room full of people lying down, and something didn't look right on their faces.

Mrs. Chen immediately withdrew her stepped foot: "Stop disturbing them, let's go back and talk?"

I used to be afraid of getting sick because I didn't want to drink bitter Chinese medicine that makes people question life.

Now I am afraid of getting sick because of the lack of medicinal materials.

They were not very skilled in the business of escaping. When they escaped, they were only thinking about getting the gold, silver and jewelry, but not the medicinal materials at all.

Xiao Xiao didn't stop her either. She didn't want to trouble the patients, let alone let the Xiao family members in the other room come over to say hello to them.

Just when sending them off, he pointed to the mule drive parked outside the yard: "Mom, aunt, we have a cart of good things, do you want to take a look?"

After saying that, without waiting for their answer, he just opened the curtain of the car and said with a showy expression: "There is a car full of rebel armor. If there are rebels chasing us, we will also put on these armors and point out Maybe they think we are their own?"

The better armors were naturally left behind by their people first. The remaining armors were all stained with blood, and a bloody smell hit their faces.

The two ladies were so sickened by the smell that they quickly took a few steps back.

Mrs. Li looked at her in disbelief: "Where did you pick these up?"

She simply doesn't know how to kill country men like the Xiao family, and she doesn't want to believe that they can kill.

Xiao Xiao vividly talked about how the rebels were killed.

Instead of telling the truth, she told nonsense with added jealousy. These people were assassinated by them.

If it was revealed that Jiang Yu had used medicinal materials to plot against them, it would have an impact on Huichun Hall, and they would not dare to go to Huichun Hall for medical treatment, fearing that the medicinal materials prescribed would contain some life-threatening medicinal materials.

To this end, they also made everyone swear not to tell anyone.

The man from Xutian Village who was peeking at the mistress of Xungui's family beside him wished he could prick up his ears and listen to Xiao Xiao's colorful deception.

Anyway, the last two ladies also left lightly.

They had just left, and Li Yuan and Mr. Chen, who had gone out to study the terrain, also came back.

Li Yuan was very happy to see Xiao Xiao: "Sister-in-law, just be okay. When did you arrive? Are you all okay?"
