Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

After burying my second grandmother, the people in the Bo family began to enjoy the spring in the mountains.

The old lady, accompanied by her fourth aunt and fifth aunt, went to the mountain to see the blooming peach blossoms and the golden rapeseed flowers.

There are many mushrooms in the humus under the lush woods on the mountain.

The old lady was full of childishness and pulled her fourth aunt to act like a little girl picking mushrooms.

Tu was accompanied by Xie Xiangxiang and others, and a servant was carrying a sedan chair.

Xie Zhaozhao did not go with them. She took Yuanyuanman with her to check the terrain around the Gu family cemetery.

Pingyang Town is located in the north of the mountain, and the mountain land on the sunny side is occupied by the villages and towns on the south side. In order to have a good feng shui for the cemetery, the Gu family can only build the cemetery above the halfway point of the mountain on the sunny side.

This place is two or three miles away from the town in a vertical direction, and the road around the mountain is at least ten miles long. It is surrounded by mountains and forests. Although the Gu family has cleared the weeds in the cemetery, the trees and shrubs on the mountain are lush and block out the sun.

There are no houses on the mountain. On the sunny side, there are local people’s cemeteries or forests below. On the shady side, there is a cliff.

If thieves block the sunny side of the mountain road, it will be difficult for people on the mountain to escape.

They stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliff was steep and the trees were sparse, which made them feel dizzy.

Although there is a big stream at the foot of the mountain, the possibility of surviving injury if you fall down the straight cliff is very small.

Xie Zhaozhao once again came to the place where she jumped off the cliff in her previous life. The life-saving pine tree was still there. In her previous life, she was caught by the branches of this pine tree, and her clothes were hooked and hung on it. Fortunately, she was seen by a couple named Mu Yu who lived at the foot of the mountain and was rescued. Otherwise, she would have been crippled if not died.

In this life, she no longer needs this pine tree, and she will not choose to jump off the cliff.

She has already picked out the route.

If you encounter danger, go out from the west gate, send a signal, run towards the forest near the cemetery, then go down the mountain from the forest. As long as you reach the town at the foot of the mountain, you will be safe.

The sun set and the sky gradually darkened.

Everyone lit a bonfire on the mountain, boiled water, and baked buns, treating it as a camping trip. Although it was very dark around, the experience was magical.

Each one was as excited as a child.

After eating and drinking, they went to burn some wheat straw on their second grandmother’s grave, then came back to talk about the beautiful scenery on the mountain today, and thought about picking and roasting mushrooms in the mountain tomorrow.

Xie Zhaozhao ate and whispered to Yuanyuan: "Watch out for Aunt Yue. If she goes out, follow her."

In the middle of the night, the mountain wind blew, and the spring chill of March was biting. Everyone in the Bo Mansion and several aunts and sisters-in-law from the Gu family were accompanying them. Everyone wrapped themselves tightly in quilts and closed the doors and windows.

Yuanyuanman did not sleep at all and remained alert the whole time. Gradually, he heard the faint sound of horse hooves amid the waves of pine trees.

Later, footsteps were heard, and the sound was carried by the wind, getting closer and clearer.

Yuanyuanmanman immediately called out to Xie Zhaozhao: "Miss, someone is coming."

Xie Zhaozhao was originally nervous and only took off his coat. Upon hearing this, he immediately put on his coat and lit the lantern.

Looking through the window at the twinkling lights on the hillside, there are actually more people there than in the previous life.

She stood up and went to the next door to call her fifth aunt and fourth aunt: "Fifth aunt, fourth aunt, there seems to be someone outside."

Fifth Aunt and Fourth Aunt jumped up in fright. They had been preparing for the funeral for nearly twenty days. They had to do farm work every day, take care of the children and grandchildren, and deal with the funeral. They were extremely tired. But when they heard that there were bad guys, they sobered up immediately.

Just as they were about to go out to see what was happening, they heard screams coming from their family members who were guarding halfway up the mountain.

It seems that the bandits first controlled the men of the Gu family halfway up the mountain.

Soon, the footsteps became more frequent and clearer, and the servants of the Bo Mansion and several half-grown children of the Gu family who were guarding the perimeter shouted loudly: "Madam, Madam, there is a thief!"

The old lady woke up from her dream with fright, still a little confused.

Taxue quickly lit the lamp and helped her up. The old lady asked in panic, "What happened?"

Taxue said in shock: "Madam, it seems there are bad guys."

"Then tell Gu Yongtai and the others to call for help!" the old lady said angrily, "What kind of thing is this that Yongtai is doing?"

People on the mountain quickly gathered together and the lights were turned on.

The old lady, Madam Tu, Madam Lu, the fifth aunt, the fourth aunt and other older people gathered together and asked all the legitimate daughters, daughters-in-law and concubines to gather in the hall.

The courtyard on the mountain also has a gate. The old lady said to Xie Zhaozhao, "Tell your servants to guard the gate tightly and never let anyone in."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "I have already told them."

Unfortunately, there were no tools on the mountain, except for a few gatekeepers and a group of unarmed women.

Soon, the sound of footsteps became overwhelming. Xie Zhaozhao and the others looked out the window and saw torches everywhere and heard the voices of thieves.

"Send someone to talk..."

The old lady called Aunt Five, "Hurry up and arrange for someone to go and talk."

Aunt Wu shouted outside, "Si Xingzi, go talk to them and tell them to leave immediately. Tell them that everyone here is from Pingyang Marquis Mansion in Jingdu. If you know what's best for you, leave now."

Sixingzi is the youngest son of the clan leader and is fifteen years old this year.

He opened the door and went out to talk trembling with fear. Soon Si Xingzi came back and said in despair: "I heard that the other party is from Pingyang Marquis Mansion and wants money. He wants one thousand strings of cash before he will leave."

When the old lady heard this, she immediately said, "You bastards, why don't they go and rob us of one thousand coins? Tell them that we went up the mountain to guard the forest and didn't bring any money. If they don't leave, be careful that my son finds out and takes troops to kill them."

Sixingzi had no choice but to go and talk again.

Everyone else was watching nervously. Xie Zhaozhao secretly stared at Guan Yingying. Although Guan Yingying tried her best to express her hatred for the bandits, it was obvious that she was very excited.

There was a gleam of revenge in his eyes.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at her, and she was also looking at Xie Zhaozhao. When their eyes met, Xie Zhaozhao was indifferent and showed no emotion. Guan Yingying quickly retracted her gaze and pretended to be anxious: "Aunt San, they are bandits who kill without blinking an eye. I'm afraid it's useless to talk to them like this."

It really didn't work! Not long after, Si Xingzi came running back screaming, his voice piercing his eardrums.

The fifth aunt and the fourth aunt hurried out of the door and saw that Sixingzi had one of his fingers cut off.

Si Xingzi cried and said, "Mother, Aunt Wu, they want to kill me. If they hadn't asked me to deliver the message, they would have killed me."

Fourth aunt looked at his hands covered in blood and trembled with heartache. He was missing a finger and was disabled.

It will be difficult to find a wife in the future.

Fourth Aunt burst into tears and cried, "Do they still want a thousand strings of cash?"

"Yes, they said that if we don't send them over within half a quarter of an hour, they will attack us. Not only will they dig up all the ancestral graves, they will also dig up the Marquis's grave! Mother, they have a lot of people, so dense that we can't defeat them..."

The old lady was terrified and shouted, "Everyone, gather up your money and take out all the silver and jewelry you have and send them to her."

Xie Zhaozhao refused, "No, these people have no credibility. If we give them 1,000 strings of cash, they will definitely become even more vicious. We must save ourselves."

Guan Yingying sneered: "Aunt San, at this time, you are still worried about money? You are the one who lacks money the least here, right?"

"Even if I have money, I will never give it to them. Giving them money will only make them more arrogant." Xie Zhaozhao said to Yuanyuan, "Get ready, let's rush out and find someone to rescue us."

Guan Yingying held Tu and the old lady and said, "No, old lady, madam, if you anger the bandits, you will definitely die. Those bandits are not easy to deal with."

The old lady and Mrs. Tu both shouted, "Don't listen to Mrs. Xie, everyone, take out the silver and jewelry, quickly!"

The old lady asked Taxue to collect everyone's jewelry one by one and immediately raise a thousand strings of cash for the bandits.
