The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

in the afternoon

The large army headed by Xinghuacun finally lined up and entered Nanwei Mansion.

Yan Ersheng's family waited at the city gate half an hour in advance. After seeing the large army coming in, they returned to the team.

Li Shangqian issued an order. If the refugees do not seek refuge with relatives, they must leave Nanwei Mansion as soon as possible within two hours.

These two hours are the time left for the villagers to purchase supplies.

Most of the villagers didn't have much money on them, so they went straight to the grain store after entering the city.

Nowadays, food is in short supply and food prices are skyrocketing. The price of brown rice in Nanwei Prefecture has reached one penny per pound.

Upon hearing the price, some women burst into tears in public.

"How can we afford food at this price?"

But even if there are constant complaints, anyone who can spare money will choose to buy food.

Although Yan Ersheng's family is not short of food, most of the food is in Yan Shu's space, so he still has to buy some symbolically to go out of his way.

Yan Ersheng ordered Yan Wu and Yan Huai to line up to buy food, while the others followed the large army and waited at the gate of Nancheng.

At this time, a carriage, escorted by dozens of soldiers, arrived at the South City Gate, attracting the attention of many refugees.

A soldier walked directly to Jiang Ci.

"Mr. Jiang, my lord has invited you."

Jiang Ci recognized that the carriage belonged to Li Mansion, so he got up and walked over.

After getting on the carriage, Li Shangqian bowed to him respectfully.

"Your Highness, I have received the news. Your Majesty has sent Su Ji, the Lieutenant General of Habayashi, to look for you. At this time, Su Ji has almost arrived at Nanwei Mansion. It seems that His Majesty is planning to take you back to Beijing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. good chance."

A trace of ridicule flashed in Jiang Ci's eyes.

good chance?

The old emperor wished he had been killed together with the entire Feng family, and was afraid of being blamed for killing his wife and son, so he threw the four-year-old son into the cold palace to be humiliated by the palace maids and eunuchs.

Now that someone is suddenly sent to look for him, I'm afraid it's not a good opportunity, but an ulterior motive.

A few days ago, Wei Zhao's flying pigeon message had delivered this news to him.

Based on a series of recent events in the capital, he vaguely guessed that the old emperor's sudden search for him might be related to the prophecy that spread throughout the capital some time ago.

"Sooner or later we have to return to the capital, but not now."

Li Shangqian saw that Jiang Ci had his own plans and stopped talking about it.

"Then I would like to wish His Highness a smooth trip. The road to escape from the famine will be extremely difficult. I have prepared some expenses for you, so please accept them."

He presented the banknotes with both hands. Jiang Ci took a look and saw that there were as many as 1000 taels.

"The general also needs to support the soldiers who defend the city. It is when money is needed, so I accept it from my heart."

"Your Highness, please accept it. This bank note was also confiscated from those dog officials this time. His Highness was indispensable for taking down Guo Chengsi's party in one fell swoop. This is what you deserve."

After hearing Li Shangqian's explanation, Jiang Ci stopped refusing.

"General, take care of it."

"Your Highness, take care of yourself and see you in the future."

-

The scene where Jiang Ci was invited to the carriage by Li Shangqian happened to be watched by Yan Peng.

He snorted coldly with jealous eyes: "I don't know what method this guy used to actually ask the master of Nanwei Mansion to send him off in person."

Su Xiaotian, who was sitting aside, glanced at Yan Peng with disgust.

"No matter what method he uses, he has won the favor of the officials. If you have that ability, I can look up to you."

Yan Peng was immediately angered by Su Xiaotian, with hatred in his eyes.

"I heard that Feng Guan is popular in the south of this city. I think Jiang Ci is probably using his pretty face to make excuses with those officials. Such behavior is really insulting to the scholar's character."

Su Xiaotian sneered twice: "Before, I only knew that you were jealous of Jiang Ci's talent, but I didn't know that you were jealous beyond recognition. Haha, you are not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes!"

Being publicly humiliated by his own woman, Yan Peng furiously pointed at Su Xiaotian's nose and angrily shouted: "Bitch, have you forgotten who is your husband-in-law?"

"When we meet my father in Xinyang, I will make peace with you."

"Snapped!"

Yan Peng slapped Su Xiaotian hard on the face.

Su Xiaotian had grown up pampered and had suffered a lot while escaping from trouble. Yan Peng slapped her down to the ground.

She covered her burning face and stared at Yan Peng with hatred in her eyes.

"Yan Peng, this is the second time you have hit me. My father has been reluctant to touch me since I was a child, but you have insulted me one after another. Just wait for me. When I meet my father in Xinyang, I must let him I will expel you from the academy!"

Yan Peng felt panicked. He shouldn't have hit Su Xiaotian impulsively.

Although he hated this woman very much now, she was Su Fuzi's biological daughter after all. If he offended Su Fuzi, he might be expelled from the academy.

"You compared me with other men, and I did it out of anger. Where can I find a woman who belittles her husband like you?"

"Hmph, comparing you to Jiang Ci? You don't deserve it at all! In my heart, you are just a despicable person who takes advantage of others. Yan Peng, listen to me. I won't make it easy for you when we get to Xinyang City. "

Hong'er stepped forward and helped Su Xiaotian up.

"Miss, please don't get into trouble with my husband. In fact, my husband cares about you very much. As long as you are willing to be soft, my husband will love you very much."

Hong'er secretly sneered in her heart. She knew her young lady's temper. How could she, who was so arrogant and arrogant, be so humble and submissive?

She didn't mind filling in another pile of firewood to completely separate the couple.

As long as Su Xiaotian is gone, she can be supported by Yan Peng.

Su Xiaotian stood up and pushed Hong'er away in disgust.

"You bitch, get away from me, young lady. I feel sick when I see you."

Hong'er lost her balance and fell to the ground, covering her stomach with one hand and crying out in pain.

Yan Peng and Wang Cui'e were so frightened that they rushed to Hong'er.

"Ms. sir, my stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

"Hong'er, please bear with me, Yan Cheng, go and invite Old Taro over."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Yan Cheng was also frightened and hurriedly ran to call someone.

Wang Cui'e stood up and rushed to Su Xiaotian, raising her hand to hit someone: "Su Xiaotian, you want to kill my grandson, I will beat you to death, you, a watery bitch."

Su Xiaotian grabbed Wang Cui'e's hand and slapped her backhand.

Wang Cui'e didn't expect that Su Xiaotian would dare to hit her mother-in-law, so she froze on the spot.

Su Xiaotian warned coldly: "If you don't want your son's future to be ruined, be honest with me. That bitch Hong'er is my maid. The contract of sale is still in my hands. No one else can control what I want to do with her."

Thinking that her son's future was still in the hands of this vicious woman, Wang Cui'e's eyes suddenly flashed with panic.

Hong'er was shocked when she heard Su Xiaotian's words. Her contract of sale was in Su Xiaotian's hands. If Su Xiaotian wanted to deal with her, there was really nothing anyone could do to her.

Thinking of this, she secretly made a calculation in her mind.

As long as Su Xiaotian never reaches Xinyang, nothing she worries about will happen.

At this time, Jiang Ci got off the carriage and walked towards this side, and Su Xiaotian's eyes were involuntarily glued to him.

She covered her face and quickly walked to Jiang Ci.

"Jiang Ci, Yan Peng hit me again, wuwu, if I continue to follow him, I will be beaten to death by him. Please let me follow you for the sake of my father."

Although Jiang Ci has no intention of her, his father is his mentor, so Jiang Ci will not refuse this kindness.

As long as she stays with Jiang Ci, she has a chance to make him like her.

"Su Xiaotian, you bitch, are you still shameless?" Yan Peng came over angrily.

The Yan Shu family, who were watching the show from a distance, saw Jiang Ci being stopped by Su Xiaotian and followed them.

Su Xiaotian changed her aggressive attitude at this time, crying in front of Jiang Ci.

"Jiang Ci, if I continue to follow him, I will really be beaten to death by him. My father only has a daughter like me. If I die, he will be so sad."

Jiang Ci glanced at her expressionlessly.

"What's with me?"

Su Xiaotian was stunned: "I am your mentor's daughter, shouldn't you take care of me?"

Jiang Ci sneered softly: "Did Madam Yan forget the good deeds she did on the night of the Moon Festival? If she hadn't thought of Master Su's affection, you would have been dead that night."

Su Xiaotian suddenly felt a chill coming over her, making her take a step back in fright.

She finally understood that this man really had no mercy.

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Peng silently.

"Take care of your people. If you dare to disturb me again, I don't mind letting you go down to accompany the two elders of the Yan family."

Facing Jiang Ci's cold gaze, Yan Peng's arrogance immediately dissipated, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

He had seen Jiang Ci kill someone with his own eyes. The scene was so bloody that he still has lingering fears.

It was enough to taunt Jiang Ci behind his back, but if he were to confront Jiang Ci head-on, he would be terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Ci stopped looking at Yan Peng and Su Xiaotian and walked straight to Yan Shu. The anger in his eyes dissipated instantly.

"It's time for us to set off."

Yan Shu watched a good show at Dafang's house and nodded in a good mood.

"The show is over, let's go."
