On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 481 Extra Xiao Xiu
After hearing Liu Da's reply, Xiao Xiao was a little surprised: "Widow Wu is quite lucky to have met my eldest sister."

It cannot be denied that among the three sisters in the Xiao family, Xiao Xiu is the kindest.

When she heard that her eldest sister had already settled Widow Wu, she didn't want to say anything more. As long as Widow Wu behaved herself in the future, she would be able to live more comfortably with her eldest sister.

She was now worried that something might have happened to her second sister. After two days without any news, she gave Meng Hui some instructions and asked her to bring some fruits and cakes and go over there for her.

The main thing is that if I go there often, it will make Mrs. Chen uncomfortable.

But she asked the maid to send some food over because she, as the aunt, was worried about her second sister and nephews and nieces.

Relatives should visit each other often. They will become closer and can help each other when needed.

Nearly two hours later, not only Meng Hui came back, but Xiao Xiu also came.

Xiao Xiao saw her elder sister and quickly put down the bow and arrow in her hand: "What a rare guest! I even suspected that the sun rose from the west today?"

"You are the only one exaggerating." Xiao Xiu first asked her niece: "Yi Yi still goes to school every day?"

Xiao Xiao was helpless about her daughter's love of joining in the fun at such a young age: "Yes, the clan school is so lively, how could she not be willing to go."

She doesn't ask for much from her daughter. She just hopes that she will be strong enough mentally in the future. She doesn't want her to be naive and appear too stupid.

I also don't want her to be as picky as a sieve, it would be too tiring.

The two sisters returned to the living room hand in hand, and Xiao Xiao asked, "Did the eldest sister also go to the second sister's place?"

Xiao Xiu nodded: "It was only yesterday that I heard from my husband that I knew my second brother-in-law had a cousin."

Xiao Xiao understood the hidden meaning: "This cousin is not in good health. We have to ask my brother-in-law to see her."

This made her gossipy heart burn: "Sister, tell me in detail, what is going on?"

Family scandals should not be made public.

The place where my cousin originally lived was not a glorious one. If I really cared about her, I would have to hire a doctor who lived far away from home and whom I didn't know.

How stupid must one be to ask for help from the doctor in my brother-in-law's clinic?

You should know that in the past few years, every doctor in Huichuntang, even the medicine boy, knew which family the Xiao sisters would marry into.

Xiao Xiu would definitely not hide anything from her third sister: "We originally invited a doctor from the Baicaotang that is a little far away. He said that cousin Wu is just a little weak in qi, and she doesn't need any medicine to replenish her qi, just food will be enough."

In fact, the madams in the brothels wanted the prostitutes to look pitiful, so they never let them eat enough. They were simply thin due to hunger and their bodies were a little weak.

Mrs. Chen was unwilling to keep this girl in the mansion, as she felt that her status was too inappropriate.

He told Aunt Wu and his second son to send the manor to live there for a few days first, and let his sons look around to see if there were any unmarried colleagues or subordinates.

Anyway, considering her status, it would be more appropriate for her to marry someone of lower status.

Even if the man's family is a little tight on finances, they can still help.

As long as the Chen family does not fall, Cousin Wu will not have to worry about having a hard life.

But I don’t know whether it was Aunt Wu or Cousin Wu who was dissatisfied with this, because immediately the bad news came that someone had fainted.

After hearing this, Chen Yibin thought that Cousin Wu was really seriously ill, so he simply asked someone to go to Huichuntang to ask for a doctor.

The doctor at Huichuntang knew that he was the boss's brother-in-law and he certainly didn't dare to delay. However, when he took the patient's pulse, he almost got angry.

This person has nothing wrong with him. Could it be that he is trying to get away from me?

Fortunately, doctors, especially those who can see patients in person, are good at cultivating qi.

Even if you are angry, you have to hold it in until you get back before you complain.

This was mainly because everyone in the inner house had seen this kind of thing many times. Therefore, the doctor said that the girl might be a little weak, which was why she was always seeing black in front of her eyes. She just needed to eat more tonic food.

Although this statement did not explicitly say that Cousin Wu was faking illness, Mrs. Chen was sure to hear the hidden meaning.

After the doctor returned to the clinic, he told Jiang Yu about this matter again, reminding him that his brother-in-law's cousin was very thoughtful.

In Jiang Yu's heart, his wife is a gentle, kind, sensible and intelligent person, and he also loves his two sisters-in-law as well. He was worried that Xiao Lian would only grow older but not smarter, so he told Xiao Xiu about it.

Xiao Xiao felt relieved after hearing this: "Don't worry, big sister. Cousin Wu has offended Madam Chen, so she will definitely suffer the consequences."

After that, she also gossiped deliberately: "Big sister, you have to keep an eye on your brother-in-law, be careful that the cousins ​​who are not related to you at all try to get close to your brother-in-law."

Xiao Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Okay, I'll remember it."

She came to see her third sister not only to talk about Xiao Lian, but more importantly, she wanted to take the opportunity to remind Xiao Xiao to pay more attention to the people around her brother-in-law.

All she could say was: "Don't just blame me, pay attention to yourself too."

At the beginning, Xiao Xiu thought that it was normal for a man with money and ability to take concubines.

But after she married Jiang Yu, her husband said that having her by his side for the rest of his life was enough.

In addition, her father-in-law didn't have anyone in the room and was still devoted to her mother-in-law. She then realized that not all men wanted to have three wives and four concubines.

Xiao Xiao laughed after hearing this: "Isn't this what Big Sister wanted to say?"

"Don't worry, he has no plans to take a concubine for the time being."

Seeing that the eldest sister seemed to be relieved, she added mischievously: "When he takes a concubine, I can also go to Nanfeng Pavilion for a stroll a few times."

"Don't worry, big sister. I don't like to suffer any loss at all."

Xiao Xiu was speechless after hearing this. Seeing his sister burst into laughter, he could only look at her helplessly: "You only know how to scare me."

After the sisters chatted for a while, Xiao Xiu left reluctantly.

As soon as Xiao Xiu left, Xiao Zhou came over. She was also a gossipy person: "I heard your sister is here? Why did she leave so soon?"

"It's my eldest sister who's here to sit with me."

"Sister-in-law, I'm a little craving for the crab roe buns in the seafood restaurant. How about we go there to eat tomorrow?" Little Zhou said coquettishly, "You promised me that you would treat me."

Xiao Xiao immediately understood her plan: "Do you want me to invite my second sister to eat with us?"

She didn't believe that little Zhou, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, would crave a bite of crab roe buns.

It was because she was kind that he didn't expose her. The crab roe buns made by the cook in the mansion were even more delicious than those in the seafood restaurant.

Little Zhou argued: "I am just concerned about Lian'er."

It just so happened that Xiao Xiao also wanted to know how her cousin Wu was doing, so she specially sent a message to her second sister.

At noon the next day, the three of them met in a private room of the Haiwei Building.

Xiao Lian is really not panicking now, her eyebrows are dancing with joy: "My mother-in-law has put an end to their wishful thinking with just one sentence."

"Mrs. Wu did have that thought, but she just couldn't say it out loud. As a result, my mother-in-law deliberately misunderstood and said that the aunt and niece could indeed take care of each other if they served the same husband."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Old ginger is spicy, Mrs. Chen is indeed a role model for my generation."

Xiao Zhou nodded desperately in agreement: "Yes, yes, your mother-in-law is really amazing."

Xiao Lian was also proud of it: "Yes, Aunt Wu immediately agreed to let cousin Wu move out."
