On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

When Xiao Zhou came over and heard what Xiao Lian said, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed so hard that she fell backwards: "I never thought that you would be helpless sometimes."

Xiao Lian blushed and defended herself: "It's not that we don't have a solution, it's just that there is no perfect solution."

Xiao Xiao looked at her suspiciously: "It's all my fault that I haven't woken up yet, so I believed what my second sister said and asked you to help."

"You have been pampered since you were a child, how could you possibly understand these things?"

Xiao Zhou was not happy about this. Even though she knew that she was trying to provoke her, she still couldn't help but fall for it: "How could I not have seen it? My eldest sister-in-law dealt with a distant cousin who wanted to climb up the social ladder."

"Besides, such trivial matters happen in almost every family."

After saying that, he smiled again and said, "Only our house is still peaceful now."

Xiao Xiao begged helplessly: "My second grandmother, please tell me the truth? Didn't you see that my second sister is so anxious that she can't sit still?"

The main thing is that she will be going out soon, so is Widow Wu still in the Haiwei Building?

I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Wu family and my sisters are incompatible? The incident caused by the widow Wu hasn't been dealt with yet, and now there's another cousin Wu.

In fact, she knew in her heart that it was easy to kill cousin Wu or send her away, but the second sister did not want to cause rifts between the couple because of outsiders, so she wished for a foolproof plan.

Xiao Zhou no longer made any fuss: "If the girl is sensible, I will give her a few dowries and marry her off."

"If he is a cunning person, then we can find a fault and send him to the farm and assign him a village head."

She looked at the Xiao sisters and said earnestly, "Don't forget, even if the second son of Chen is not registered under Madam Chen's name, you can't regard your aunt's family as your uncle's family."

"Otherwise it would poke your serious mother-in-law in the heart."

Xiao Lian's face changed, and she thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your advice, Second Madam. I'll come to thank you another day."

She was very glad that she did not let her husband go to the wife to discuss the matter of rescuing the person last night, otherwise the wife would have felt a thorn in her heart.

It is easy to plant but difficult to pull out.

Xiao Zhou also smiled reservedly: "We are all family, there is no need to say thank you or not."

The tone changed: "Just ask your sister to treat me to a meal at Haiweilou some other day."

In the past, she would have looked down on Xiao Lian's in-laws because their official rank was too low.

But who made Xiao Xiao her husband's sister-in-law? Even her own elder sister valued Xiao Xiao. Besides, she was the queen's biological sister, so she had heard about some things.

Although she felt that nothing would happen to her family, she was still afraid of the possibility that something might happen.

When she thought of Xiao Xiao's increasingly skilled archery skills and the legend that Xiao Xiao and her family were ruthless, she still felt a little afraid.

I am also willing to be more polite and have a better relationship with them.

Over the years, Xiao Xiao has also become accustomed to Xiao Zhou's temperament.

When she is in a good mood, she speaks gently and smiles, and is very easy to get along with.

If he is in a bad mood, his face will be as gloomy as water, and he will look as if he is a victim of debt owed to him.

Fortunately, she just kept her anger to herself and didn't vent it on anyone, nor did she beat or scold the maids and old women.

Therefore, whenever Xiao Xiao saw that she was in a bad mood, she would considerately stay away from her.

Now that Xiao Zhou's words sounded nice, Xiao Xiao agreed immediately: "Whenever you are free, let's go there often, until you don't like the food anymore."

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Zhou went back very considerately.

After Xiao Xiao sent Xiao Lian out, she asked someone to prepare a carriage: "Let's go to the Seafood Restaurant."

When Xiao Lian came earlier, she wanted to pay her respects to Madam Li, but the maid in the upper courtyard said that Madam Li had returned to her parents' home early this morning.

Therefore, when Xiao Xiao goes out now, she doesn't need to tell her stepmother. Of course, even if Madam Li is in the mansion, she won't forbid Xiao Xiao from going out. At most, she will let her bring a few more people with her to avoid being bumped into and losing face for the Shangshu Mansion.

It’s not that she really cares about Xiao Xiao, it’s just that Mrs. Li cares about her reputation.

When Xiao Xiao arrived at the private room of Haiweilou, Liu Da was already waiting there.

"Grandma, I took people to check it out yesterday." Of course, he sent people to gather information separately, and he himself went to the government office to check the family files with the letter from the Shangshu Mansion.

If you want to settle down here, you must have your household registration and travel permit recorded in the clan file: "Then Widow Wu didn't lie."

He was a man of many thoughts. He had followed Xiao Xiao for many years, so he dared to come up with bad ideas: "How about we put him in a cell, lock him up and make him behave himself, and then exile him?"

Xiao Xiao was very moved by what she heard. After hesitating for a while, she still shook her head: "Whether it's my father-in-law or my husband, they must have political enemies."

"If someone finds out, it will become a handle on us."

"Besides, since this matter has nothing to do with my father, I am not afraid of being discovered by my mother."

If the child born to Widow Wu was really her stepfather's, then Xiao Xiao might really do something to bully others.

But now the child is not his own, and his stepfather is not planning to renew his relationship with Widow Wu, so the mother will not refuse to give in.

If she had to have a few cold wars with her father because of this, she would also crack melon seeds and watch how her father would try to please her mother.

Liu Da felt that his grandmother was too kind.

I was also glad that I didn't come up with a more bloody method, such as asking them all to shut up.

But they feel more at ease because the master they follow is kinder.

Don't worry about losing your life if you know too much or fail to carry out your master's orders.

He asked tentatively: "Then I just gave her a few words of warning and then let her go?"

Xiao Xiao nodded. She didn't want to deal with Widow Wu either.

Seeing Liu Da was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "She didn't go home yesterday. Did they report it to the police?"

"No," Liu Da gloated, "They did go to inquire, but when they found out that Widow Wu had offended a noble, they didn't dare to go to the government office and went home."

"This morning, that lazy woman came out to sell some braised food again."

“It’s like this person doesn’t exist.”

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao understood that Lai Laosan was timid and even if he didn't drive people away, he wouldn't dare to jump out and cause trouble.

After Liu Da went out, he came back after a while.

Xiao Xiao also stood up and prepared to go back: "Let's go too? Let's go to Xiaoyao Tower to have lunch."

Domestic flowers are indeed not as fragrant as wild flowers.

At first, she thought she would have a deep love for seafood for the rest of her life.

But now, I still miss the delicious food in Xiaoyao Tower.

Liu Da scratched his head in embarrassment: "The widow wants to see the grandmother."

Maybe it was because I was too easy to talk to, which made the widow bolder. She refused to leave when I asked her to, and instead knelt down and kowtowed to me.

Xiao Xiao also nodded: "Let her in."

Since she wasn't going to kill her or drive her away, Xiao Xiao still hoped that she would be quiet.

She was also willing to see her again and hear what she wanted to say. (End of this chapter)
