On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Widow Wu, with a haggard face, knelt in front of Xiao Xiao and said, "Please have mercy, grandma. I know I shouldn't make random accusations, but life is too difficult. Please forgive me and let me..."

Xiao Xiao thought she wanted to ask him to give her some money, but unexpectedly, Widow Wu begged her: "I really can't stay in the Lai family anymore, otherwise my son will have no way to survive. Please, grandma, take my son out."

"As long as I leave the Lai family, I can do some small business in the streets and support my son and me."

"I will never dare to trouble the Xiao family again, and I will never appear in front of the Xiao family again..."

Xiao Xiao couldn't deny that in today's world, it was indeed not easy for a widow to raise a child.

Even though Widow Wu had many faults, she never abandoned her son no matter how difficult the situation was. This made Xiao Xiao kind-hearted for once: "Liu Da, take her to Lai's house."

Even though there were maids following him outside, Liu Da didn't dare to stay too far away from her: "Shall I take Grandma back home first?"

Xiao Xiao, who originally planned to go to Xiaoyao Tower for a meal, said: "Yanzhi, go to Yanzhi Tower and order a table of top-notch food."

Yanzhi responded, turned around and left quickly.

The maids who followed the eldest lady out could receive twenty taels of silver from Menghui every day to pay the bills for their master.

Just go back and settle the bill with Sister Menghui.

The first time she received so much silver, she felt a little panicked, fearing that she would accidentally lose nearly a year's salary.

Liu Da sent Xiao Xiao back first.

Xiao Xiao got off the carriage and said to Liu Da, "If the boy is seriously ill, send him to Huichuntang."

She hadn't thought much about it before, but it occurred to her while she was sitting in the carriage.

Widow Wu was forced to stay home last night, and she didn't know whether the Lai family would take their anger out on the children.

Since she was unwilling to deal with Widow Wu, she certainly didn't want to let anything happen to her son because of her momentary negligence.

Just think of it as doing a good deed every day?

Liu Da responded, and this time he did not drive the horse carriage, but drove the mule cart away.

This time he did not drive the carriage himself, but let the guards drive the carriage, while he sat comfortably in the mule cart drinking tea and eating snacks.

Xiao Xiao bought her own carriage, so it was naturally very comfortable and safe.

She was a person who was quite afraid of death, so the middle part of her carriage was made of black iron, which could block ordinary arrows. Therefore, outsiders were not allowed to ride in her carriage.

Of course, the mule cart in the mansion is not bad either. It is used by the housekeepers in the mansion to go out and do business.

The Shangshu Mansion was not a poor family, and the lady of the house was very concerned about her reputation, so even a mule cart was very impressive.

Anyway, after Widow Wu got on the carriage, she didn't dare to sit on the thick, shiny gray squirrel mattress.

Looking at the coachman who originally just drove the carriage for Xiao Xiao, he could now eat four kinds of delicious snacks.

From this we can see what a good life the Xiao family is living now.

Although she was also very envious, she didn't dare to have any more evil thoughts.

When the mule cart arrived at the door, the guard driving it knocked hard on the door: "Open the door, open the door."

Lai Lao San's wife had gone out to sell stewed food and had not returned yet. Hearing the unfriendly tone outside, he did not dare to let his children open the door, but urged Lai Erlang, who had planted a love for him, to open the door. Widow Wu saw that her son had several slap marks on his face. His originally thin face was now swollen like a steamed bun. She was so angry that she yelled: "Lai San, you damn king..."

Lai Laosan also misunderstood. When he saw the guard, he felt even more angry. He pointed at her and cursed: "You shameless bitch, you dare to come back? I will beat you to death."

Unfortunately, the bolt in his hand was disobedient and was taken away by the guard in a blink of an eye, who also kicked him.

Lai Laosan was kicked to the ground. Now he, who always bullied the weak and feared the strong, didn't dare to curse anymore.

Liu Da then walked in leisurely, looked around, and spoke more freely than at home: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, someone like you can marry a wife and take concubines. They are really blind."

"I am blind," Widow Wu touched her son's burning forehead and wanted to fight Lai Lao San to death: "Please help me and my son get out of here?"

She had wanted to leave a long time ago, but unfortunately she followed Lai San as a concubine, and her son was also under Lai San's name.

"Okay." Liu Da looked down at Lai Lao San and said, "Come with us to the government office, write a letter to release the concubine, and then move her son's household registration out."

Lai Laosan, who was in so much pain that he couldn't get up, didn't dare to refuse. Besides, he had his own plans in mind. He wanted to take advantage of the trip to the yamen to let them know how easy it is to get in but difficult to get out.

I also have acquaintances in the government office. If I put them in jail, they will have to pay compensation to me.

Unfortunately, he mistakenly thought that these two people were businessmen with some wealth, but he didn't expect that they were just small managers.

When they saw Liu Da handing his name card to the bailiff at the gate of the yamen, they were immediately invited in and treated to tea and snacks.

After a while, an adult came over and completed all the procedures smoothly.

Lai Laosan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats. He didn't dare to say a word and cooperated very well.

Widow Wu carefully put the household registration into the package, then knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Da: "Thank you for saving my life, sir. We will leave now."

Seeing that she was quite sensible, Liu Da glanced at the boy who knelt down with his mother and whose face was swollen like a pig, and said, "Get up. My master asked me to take you to the clinic."

Of course Widow Wu was willing to do so. If household registration was not more important, she would have taken her son to see a doctor long ago.

It was a coincidence that Xiao Xiu went out for something today, and when he was returning, he asked the driver to stop by Huichuntang.

Unexpectedly, I saw Widow Wu accompanying a boy to see a doctor.

She was a few years older than her younger sisters. She had seen Widow Wu eight years ago and was afraid that her father would want her instead of her own mother, so she had a particularly deep impression of Widow Wu.

Even though Widow Wu looked much older and thinner now, the beauty mole at the corner of her eye made Xiao Xiu sure that he had not recognized the wrong person.

Liu Da, who was about to leave, saw Xiao Xiu, so he came up to greet him and told him about Widow Wu.

After hearing this, Xiao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that everything has calmed down."

After thinking about it, he felt that he was the eldest in the family and couldn't let his sister do everything: "I will take care of them and their son."

When Liu Da heard this, he knew she had misunderstood: "Grandma said that greed is the key to success. We have done what we should do. We don't need to worry about them anymore."

Xiao Xiu nodded and asked Widow Wu about her future plans. Knowing that she was taking things one step at a time and hadn't thought about what to do in the future, he simply arranged for people to cook in the medicine field.

A few years ago, they bought a hill and planted a lot of herbs. They also hired some people to work. Having more cooks can also make everyone eat better.

The main reason is that my parents will not come here, and they will never meet again. (End of this chapter)
