Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"No, no, no." Xu Yixing shook his head like a rattle. What kind of place is this? A brothel? How can someone give birth in a brothel? And this place is too close to the capital. I always feel that someone from the capital will come to check at any time.

"While I am still pregnant, let's go to the North and find a reliable place to give birth there. That would be great."

Yingwu glanced at her belly: "Three months?"

"Four months." Xu Yixing sighed slightly. This was the result of a half-baked doctor's diagnosis. She suddenly vomited continuously, and the doctor thought she had eaten something by mistake and was afraid that she would die. But it turned out that she was pregnant. This scared Xu Yixing a lot. She had done heavy work before and had no maintenance. She was lucky that she didn't hurt the child. It was because she knew she was pregnant that she was more determined to escape from the bandit's den.

"Four months? Then why didn't you notice it in the mansion before? Didn't you feel it yourself?"

"That's what the doctor said. Women who are not menstruating may also have their periods. It has always happened before, but it was less frequent. I didn't take it seriously. After I got out, I couldn't eat or sleep well in the bandit's lair, so I didn't care about it at all." After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he sighed that he was really careless. Of course, this child was even luckier.

"Then if we want to go north, we have to find a way that will not harm the fetus and cannot be recognized by others." Ying Wu showed a worried look on his face. Disguise was not difficult, but the difficult part was how to keep the master and the young master safe.

"Yes. Actually, I already have an idea, but you should go to the village where I stayed before. My banknotes and documents are still there."

"On the mountain?" Ying Wu was puzzled. Logically, the soldiers had gone up the mountain to suppress the bandits, and the traces of those families must have been searched. How could they not find them? "No, the emperor must have thought that you took the banknotes with you. Even if you find the banknotes, you can't use them, and it's easy for people to target you. Since your hiding place is hidden, why not leave it there?"

“But that’s ten thousand taels of silver!” Xu Yixing’s heart was bleeding. These were the private savings that he had saved up bit by bit over the past three years. They were money that neither Si Wen nor Lu Anyuan could find. How could he just throw them away like that?

"Master, you should understand what is meant by material possessions. Besides, I have some clean money here, so why take the risk?"

"Humph." Xu Yixing snorted in protest. My money is clean, okay? "Okay, but if someone finds it out later and uses it as a clue, it won't be my fault."

"That's true. Then tell me where it is and I'll destroy it."

"On a mountain twenty miles in front of Xiaoxi Town, on the sunny side of the hill, the first house from the bottom to the top, the fence is made of bamboo. I hid under the stone trough in her pig pen, wrapped in the maid's clothes I wore when I went out of the house."

"Okay, we'll make plans when I come back." Ying Wu did not leave after saying that, but looked at her meaningfully.

"I won't run away, sister Oiran. I'm penniless and I still need you to support me." After Xu Yixing finished speaking, Ying Wu left. With a stone in his heart, Xu Yixing fell asleep with his clothes on, with a free smile on his face.

Ying Wu was gone for a long time and did not come back until almost dawn the next day, with a heavy murderous look on his face.

The brothel was filled with the sounds of sex in the middle of the night. Although there was a door, a wall, and a window between them, Xu Yixing still slept very uneasily in the second half of the night. He woke up immediately after hearing the sounds: "How is it? Did you find it?"

"We have to leave quickly. We didn't find what you said. I guess the bandits found it, or someone else took it. I'm afraid it's not good. What solution do you suggest?"

Xu Yixing was shocked, thinking that he had used up all his luck in the bandit's nest to save his life, so how could the money really be lost? So he quickly told Yingwu about his plan. The more Yingwu listened, the more he frowned, squinting at least ten times, and then he changed into men's clothes and went out to prepare.

The morning light in May was not hot, but it was dazzling. Just under the gate of Jizhou City, which was the only way to the north, a team slowly passed by. When he found this person, the city guard covered his nose for the first time, with a gloomy face.

The middle-aged man did not dare to offend, so after handing over the document, he said in an honest and timid voice: "Sir, my daughter has unfortunately passed away, and I want to take her back to my hometown to settle her down. Please, please give her a favor..." After that, he handed over a dime of silver.

Although the soldier was extremely disgusted, he took the money and cursed the poor fellow in his heart, with an impatient look on his face: "Where is my hometown?"

"Miaozhou, the northern border." The middle-aged man lowered his head. He was a little hunchbacked to begin with, and this made him look even more cowardly.

The officer waved his hand and pointed at the big black coffin on the car behind him: "Open the coffin and check!"

"No, no, sir, no, no!" The middle-aged man seemed anxious and rushed forward, but his hands were clamped mercilessly and he could not move. He could only cry and shout in panic, but he dared not cry again when the city guard officer glared at him.

The two soldiers quickly opened the coffin, and instantly a foul smell spread out, shocking everyone in the queue so much that they stepped back and away from the car.

The soldiers looked inside the coffin and saw a woman. Her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth and eyes had begun to rot. Her belly was slightly bulging, and she was pregnant. Although her face was pale, it was obviously sallow and not delicate. Her fingers had small scars from working. She must not be the noble person they were looking for.

So he knocked on the bottom of the coffin with the handle of a knife, checked the bottom of the car, and then reported loudly: "No problem, no smuggling!"

The officer covered his nose and waved his hand again: "Let them go!"

The middle-aged man received the order, sat up from the ground, bowed and hurriedly left the city.

He walked away from the city until no one saw him anymore, and then he stuffed an oil paper bag into the gap of the coffin. This was the fourth time he had performed this kind of trick this month, and he was so skilled at it that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. It seemed that his master was really smart and could think of such a trick.

Xu Yixing lay comfortably in the "coffin". To her, the coffin was both a bed and a home. It was covered with three layers of cushions and was extremely comfortable. She didn't have to walk. She lay in the coffin during the day and came out to move around at night, just like a ghost.

After chewing a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she gave up. She almost cried when she smelled the taste in the city just now. She knocked on the coffin wall lightly regardless of the risk of being discovered and asked Yingwu to buy it. Who knew it tasted so bad. Of course, she could also imagine that Yingwu listened to her knocking nervously just to buy a piece of snack, and his face would probably be as dark as the coffin.

"Ying Wu, I suddenly remembered something very important." There was no one in the wilderness, so she spoke without reservation.

"what?"

"That group of bandits hasn't been eliminated yet, and those people are all innocent." Xu Yixing left in a hurry that day and forgot to deal with her funeral. When she thought of the cover that the old lady had given her, she felt a little guilty.
