Maid, Little Lucky Wife

On this day, a group of people missed the inn and were discussing setting up camp. The people who explored the road in front just returned.

"Master, there is a village not far ahead. Why don't you take a rest there?"

Mo Xuan nodded, "Okay, a private house is better than sleeping in a carriage."

Although the carriage was spacious enough, the space was small and uncomfortable.

Go to a private house where the lady can get some fresh air.

Before dark, everyone came to the village and saw a group of people. The villagers were initially panicked and surrounded the women and children.

A man dressed without patches stepped forward.

"You heroes, I came to our Xianghua Village, but what happened?"

Others followed his lead, and the young and strong men in the village followed behind this man, obviously showing their intention to protect him.

Mo Xuan stepped forward quickly, "Hello, are you the village chief here? We are a caravan going to Li County. We missed the inn, so we wanted to stay overnight."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone relaxed.

"It's okay to stay overnight. I thought you were bandits from the mountains."

Mo Xuan's expression changed and he couldn't help but ask, "Why are there bandits here?"

"Yes, they all come from the south. By the way, you are going to Li County and you happen to be passing by there. You have to be careful. Those bandits kill people without blinking an eye."

The old man warned, and Mo Xuan nodded and agreed.

There were a lot of people, and we didn't want to separate, so we directly used the ancestral hall in the village. There were two beds in the ancestral hall, so Mo Xuan and his wife could sleep while the rest of the people slept on the floor.

Bandits are rampant here, and they often come down the mountain to rob, but not many people kill. Their targets are money and women. If there is resistance, the entire village has been massacred.

I gave the village chief some money and asked him to find someone to prepare some meals, and he needed to be skilled in cutting them cleanly.

Seeing a pregnant woman getting out of the car, the village chief relaxed completely. The bandits couldn't bring pregnant women with them during the robbery.

The village chief was a little more enthusiastic. He was afraid that the ancestral hall would be cold, so he specially sent people to deliver a lot of charcoal. Of course, he paid for it.

Yun Shang looked at the houses in the village. Many of them were dilapidated. The clothes worn by adults and children were very tattered. There were very few women. It was unclear whether they had been kidnapped or hidden.

"Husband, this place is not far from the capital. Why are there so many bandits?"

Mo Xuan hesitated for a while, "They should be fleeing from the south."

The escape trap has arrived here, and the flood disaster in the south is not small.

And Li County is also in the south, and it won't be too good. The two of them have complicated hearts, and the road ahead will not be peaceful.

After dinner, the taste was okay, but there was less oil. Oil is precious in rural areas, and I am used to cooking.

Mo Xuan was afraid that Yun Shang wouldn't be used to it, but he didn't expect that Yun Shang ate well.

When she was working as a maid, she had eaten dishes that were more unpalatable than this.

Yun Shang fell asleep without saying a word about who the pregnant woman was.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a loud noise, and when she looked right in front of her, she saw her grandma and Chunmei guarding her in front of her.

Chunlan Chunzhu was on the outside, holding a sword and guarding several people with a serious expression.

Seeing that Yun Shang was awake, Mammy helped her up, "Madam, did you wake up?"

Yun Shang shook her head and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

The doors and windows were closed, but shouts of death and screams from outside could be heard.

"Is it a bandit?"

Yun Shang's heart thumped, and she grabbed her grandma's arm and asked anxiously, "Where's my husband? Is he okay? Is he injured?"

Seeing that the person was anxious, Chunmei quickly explained, "Madam, don't worry, the master is fine."

"Yes, madam, don't worry, the master has a good hand. We are rarely his opponents."

Chunlan smiled to calm Yun Shang's nervous mood.

Yun Shang suddenly relaxed and realized that her palms were all sweaty.

"It's fine!"

She murmured quietly, keeping her eyes on the door.

She knew not to cause trouble. If she went out, her husband would be distracted to protect her.

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds outside gradually disappeared.

"Lingyi, check if anyone is injured and go to the doctor to get medicine."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, look at the casualties in the village. If you can save it, save it."

After giving the instructions again, Mo Xuan walked towards the door.

He knew that his wife was worried about him, so he wanted to go in and comfort her.

Seeing the person appearing completely in front of me, even the clothes were intact without any blood stains.

Yun Shang was finally relieved.

"The servant has seen the master."

Several maids and grandmothers bowed and saluted, and Mo Xuan waved his hand, "You go and have a rest. Someone is keeping watch and there won't be any more problems."

He never hesitates to spread kindness to those who are kind to his wife.

"Thank you sir."

After a few people exited, the door was lightly closed.

When there were only two people left in the room, Yun Shang pulled Mo Xuan's sleeve and looked up and down.

"Husband, are you injured?"

Mo Xuan chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry, madam, I'm not hurt. You have to believe that my husband is very capable."

The whole person was smiling playfully, without any trace of nervousness.

Yun Shang rolled her eyes at him and believed this man.

"What about the others? Are you all right?"

"It's okay. I just checked and there are only two scratches."

Mo Xuan gradually stopped smiling, and Yun Shang also became serious.

"Madam, these people are not simple."

"You mean, not a bandit?"

Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat.

Mo Xuan shook his head, "No, although these people are dressed like bandits, they are very good at reaching out and are well-trained, so I suspect...this group of people is coming for us."

Yun Shang was silent for a while, "Who do you think wants our lives? Who have we offended? Is it the He family?"

Mo Xuan shook his head and rejected this speculation, "Probably not. The He family doesn't have the ability. Think about who else have we offended recently?"

Suddenly thinking of someone, Yun Shang's expression changed, "You mean the second prince's concubine?"

Mo Xuan nodded, "If I guess correctly, it should be her."

Yun Shang's face was complicated and she felt uncomfortable: "This person is too petty. We just saved the concubine, but this person is going to kill us?"

Mo Xuan patted her head, "Not only did he save the concubine, he also saved his brother. The concubine has become an imperial citizen, and the child has a chance to inherit the prince's palace, and even that position..."

Yun Shang knew what was left unfinished. Even if time went back to that time, she would still save him, not for anything else but to have a clear conscience.

In this night's attack, not only them, but also people in the village died.

Hearing the wailing, Yun Shang felt uncomfortable and discussed with her husband to leave some more silver.

After all, the people in the village were implicated and deserved compensation.

Nothing else happened in the second half of the night, so Yun Shang slept until she woke up naturally.

When they woke up, everyone had packed their bags and had breakfast.

Yun Shang was quite embarrassed to keep everyone waiting for so long, but who said she was pregnant?

After finishing breakfast with my husband, everyone replenished some eggs, duck eggs, vegetables and meat in the village before starting to set off.

The village chief personally sent the people out of the village. The money left by these people was enough for everyone to spend a while.
