On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Fortunately, the family showed leniency to women and children, so Widow Wu was able to escape quietly and met Lai San, who also worked in the casino.

When Widow Wu escaped, she also took out the jewelry the leader had given her. Plus, she had been eating and drinking well for the past two months in the mountains, and she looked very plump and beautiful, which made her quite attractive.

Lai is short, has ordinary facial features, and is horizontally developed.

He had always coveted Widow Wu, and now that she was alone, he would certainly not miss such a good opportunity.

This time, he got both money and property.

However, he had married a wife and had two sons at that time, so Widow Wu had no name or status.

At the beginning, Widow Wu was quite favored.

But who knew that Widow Wu soon became pregnant, which made Lai San feel a little cheated.

Even though Widow Wu insisted that the child in her belly was his, by last year, her son had grown into a tall and strong man.

Lai San's two biological sons, one thirteen years old and the other eleven years old, were not as tall as the son born to Widow Wu.

Widow Wu knew in her heart that this was most likely the leader's child.

But even if she had many faults, she was really good to the son in her belly.

Unfortunately, Lai San was very dissatisfied with the extra green grassland on his head, and he never doted on Widow Wu again.

The Lai family originally consisted of nearly a hundred cousins ​​and clan members who fled together.

After arriving in the provincial capital, it was impossible for them to live together for a living.

With the help of Widow Wu's jewelry, Lai San finally bought a small courtyard with three rooms in a remote alley.

Lai San's parents died on the way to escape, and now there are only six people living together in the family.

Lai San couldn't find a job at first. Lai San's wife's family used to sell braised food. In order to make a living, she bought pig heads, braised them, and then sold them.

At the beginning, Widow Wu was a favored concubine and did not need to go out to do business. She just had to take good care of the children at home.

But when the little son born to Widow Wu grew up a little, Lai San felt that he had a green grassland above his head and he was no longer friendly to Widow Wu.

In addition, his sons all had to go to private schools, which was another considerable expense. Lai San, who was used to being lazy, was unwilling to go out to find a job, and he disliked his wife for being too stupid and not knowing how to do business.

He forced Wu to start selling braised food on a pole. If there was too much braised food left over, he would beat her up.

Widow Wu became more and more sad as she spoke, and she burst into tears: "…I really can't live like this anymore. I am the one who supports the family, but he still doesn't allow my son to go to private school."

"I was also confused, so I wanted to use your father to escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

The moment of difficulty breathing made her feel terrified and desperate, and she completely collapsed.

I feel like an ant, as small as a speck of dust, and my life and death just depend on other people's thoughts.

But she didn't want to die, and if she died, her son would have no chance of survival.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please spare my life. I swear, I will never dare to talk nonsense again."

"I won't dare to make random comments again."

"It's not worth getting your hands dirty for my worthless life..."

Li Yan sneered: "I'll ask someone to find out right now. If you dare to hide anything from me, I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death." Widow Wu shuddered all over, as if she was too frightened to speak. She just kept nodding to indicate that what she said was true.

Xiao Xiao felt that he did look a bit majestic, especially because he was wearing a luxurious blue court robe with peacocks embroidered with silver thread, which gave off an extravagant aura made of real gold and silver.

There is a sword on his waist with mountains and rivers carved on it, which seems like it can kill people with the sword if he disagrees with them.

The most important thing is that the people now have a deep-seated fear of officials and soldiers.

Therefore, he asked Yanzhi to arrest the man in the woodshed first, and asked He Shuang to investigate whether what Widow Wu said before was true.

After Xiao Xiao finished listening to his instructions, she looked at Li Yan and joked, "My husband is so majestic today."

Li Yan also mistakenly thought that she was really not panicking.

After all, in his mind, having three wives and four concubines are all legal. He was willing to promise Xiao Xiao that he would never have other women in his life, but he just didn't want to leave his backyard disturbed.

So he whispered, "Does my father-in-law know about this person's existence?"

"I know." Xiao Xiao originally didn't want him to know, but she didn't want him to see her. She didn't hide anything and told him what happened. Finally, she reminded him, "Only a few of us know about this. Don't let it slip, or my mother will get upset if she finds out."

"Okay, I'm not a talkative person anyway." Li Yan couldn't hide his smile: "Now I know why you don't want me to take a concubine. It turns out you learned this from my mother-in-law."

Xiao Xiao smiled at him, her smile as warm as spring: "Why? Do you regret it? Or do you want to enjoy the happiness of having two wives?"

Even though Li Yan and Xiao Xiao have been married for almost six years, he feels from the bottom of his heart that his wife is getting more and more beautiful.

Just like a peony that was originally in bud but is now in full bloom, the glance in her eyes made his heart numb.

"How could that be possible?" He pretended to be calm and retracted his gaze: "As a man, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back."

"I'm not a womanizer."

"I want to tell you something." Seeing that she was not so anxious about the matter of Widow Wu that she lost her mind, Li Yan whispered, "You know, sometimes when we are ordered to do errands, we have to go to places of entertainment. I accidentally discovered that your two brothers-in-law also frequented places of entertainment."

"What did you say?" Xiao Xiao looked at him in shock, slapping the table in disbelief and asking, "He, they actually went to the fireworks place together?"

It’s no wonder Xiao Xiao was shocked.

The little affair between Widow Wu and her stepfather was a thing of the past. She dug it out from the original owner's memory.

Even if Xiao Xiao minds, she can't encourage her parents to divorce because of this, right?
But my eldest sister was chosen by my eldest brother-in-law, and he would not marry anyone else but you.

Although my second brother-in-law is the son of an official, he is only a bastard's son. He now works in the Ministry of Justice and is only a fifth-rank official.

They had only been married for a few years, and the two elder sisters were busy raising children, serving the elders, and earning some money.

How could Xiao Xiao not be angry when her two brothers-in-law went out to drink and have fun together?

Li Yan didn't expect her to be so angry, so he quickly held her hand and said, "Stop taking pictures, be careful not to hurt your hands."

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath: "I'm not angry."

Li Yan looked at her with raised eyebrows and muttered in a low voice: "If you look in the mirror, you won't dare to tell such a lie."

Xiao Xiao also sneered: "Because I want to kill someone."

Li Yan felt that she was speaking from the heart and felt a little regretful: "Calm down, maybe I was dazzled and saw it wrong." (End of this chapter)
