The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Chapter 140: Snatching People from the Tiger's Lair

The next day, at 3:30 pm.

A thin and handsome young man walked out from the back door of the restaurant. He was wearing a plain green silk robe, his black hair was tied up high, his face was lightly powdered, and his eyebrows were drawn thickly.

After going out of the back door, he walked towards Penglai Lane in the south of the city in small steps.

Penglai Lane, he curled his lips in disdain, who got the name? He really thinks he is an immortal.

The lights in Penglai Lane were turned on early in the morning. The alley, which was not spacious to begin with, was now deserted and filled with noise, which made the young man's ears numb.

He curled his lips and walked in with the crowd.

The servant at the gift table at the door grabbed his arm and asked, "Who are you from? Where is your master? Have you presented the gift?"

The young man broke free from him and said in a muffled voice, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. I am the nephew of your daughter and her mother-in-law. The gift is for my aunt. You are not worthy of asking for the gift money from my family."

He snorted and strode into the yard.

The servant was left standing there, pointing at him and cursing angrily, "You are a piece of dirt-legged fellow, and you are unworthy of being my daughter's mother-in-law. Bah."

The young man entered the yard and saw red silk cloths hanging everywhere. The yard was filled with tables, and many people were already sitting at the tables.

After looking around, I didn't see any villagers from Xiyan Village.

He couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that no one from the village came?

He found a crowded place to sit down and secretly observed the surrounding environment.

I sat down and tilted my ear, and could vaguely hear their conversation.

"Hey, you see, Clerk Xun arranged his daughter's marriage on the first day of the new year, and found a peasant. Doesn't he want his daughter to have a good life?"

"Who knows? She's already married for the second time, and has a daughter. If she doesn't keep it low-key and make such a big fuss, it'll be as bad as her first marriage!"

"That's right, it's clearly for the sake of making money. He only has one daughter, shouldn't he marry her off more often and hold more weddings to earn more betrothal money?"

The young man raised his lips. The one who married Jiang Hongbin was actually Xun Qing's daughter.

Oh, it's really like a rotten fish meeting a rotten shrimp, neither of them will harm the other.

It was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't listen any longer. People were coming and going, and he had to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible.

He spotted another courtyard on the left side of the yard and immediately decided to look for someone along the corridor.

As he turned around, he bumped into someone.

He was about to apologize, but when he looked up, he found that the person in front of him was looking at him with a smile.

It was Tang Zhongbai, and behind him were Tang San, Tang Si and Hu Daxin.

He was surprised and said, "Hey, why are you here?"

After asking, he remembered that they all worked in the yamen, so how could Xun Qing not invite him?

"Miss Jiang." The three people behind Tang Zhongbai greeted her.

"I've seen you a long time ago. What are you doing here sneaking around?" The four people in front of him looked at his attire with amusement. Hu Daxin and Tang Si both laughed out loud.

She quickly said "hush", signaling them not to reveal their identities.

She shyly lifted the strands of hair on her forehead and whispered, "Well, I have something to do. Just don't tell the four of you that you know me." After saying that, she wanted to slip away.

"Wait, do you need help?"

"No need. Goodbye."

"Young Master, what is she going to do?" Tang Si asked in confusion.

Tang Zhongbai looked at the direction where she was gradually going away and whispered, "Help a mother find her child."

Jiang Muxia trotted along the corridor towards the courtyard.

There were almost no people on the road she was walking on. Lanterns were hung on the corridor, illuminating the surroundings.

The courtyard was also brightly lit, and the journey was very smooth. When she arrived at the courtyard, there were only a few women dressed as maids busying around. She looked around and did not see An and the child.

She was a little anxious. She was not familiar with the place and this was not a good way to look for it.

Suddenly, she had an idea, called a maid, and asked with a smile: "Hello, sister, I am your uncle's cousin, and I have something to ask my aunt. Can you tell me where she is?"

Hearing that he was the groom's cousin, the maid frowned and looked him up and down, not believing that the Jiang family had any relatives who could afford to wear silk clothes.

He pointed in a direction with disgust, "Their family is all in that yard."

Jiang Muxia looked in the direction of her finger and saw a small courtyard behind the cross-courtyard. It was dark there and nothing could be seen.

She thanked the maid quickly and walked over quickly.

The two courtyards were not close to each other, and she walked along the corridor for a long time. The further she went, the sparser the lanterns in front of her.

It was getting completely dark, and she heard the sound of gongs and drums in the yard in front of her, which was getting lively.

It looks like the wedding has started, and the An couple should be at the front at this time.

She prayed in her heart that the children would stay in the yard.

Her breathing quickened and she quickened her pace.

Finally, we were almost at the gate of the courtyard. There were two red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate, fluttering in the light.

There were a few lights on in the yard.

She heard the sound of children playing in the yard.

I finally felt relieved; they were indeed here.

Just as I was about to step into the yard, I suddenly heard a "bang" as if someone had fallen to the ground.

The sound of a girl crying came into my ears, followed by the boy's loud questioning.

"Why did you push my sister down?"

A spoiled little girl's voice rang out, "Humph, this is my home, why do you occupy it? It's already dark, why don't you leave? You stinky mud legs, you have no shame."

"We are not peasants. Apologize to my sister." The boy's firm voice came again.

Oh no, they are going to fight with Xun Qing’s granddaughter.

Thinking this in his mind, Jiang Muxia hurried into the yard.

The boy pointed angrily at a girl who was the same height as him and asked loudly with an angry look on his face.

The boy held a little girl in his hand and protected her tightly behind him.

Jiang Muxia praised Yuanbao for being a good brother who knew how to protect his sister.

Seeing a stranger suddenly break into the yard, the little girl's chubby round face pulled up, pointed at her and cursed, "Where did you come from, you little thief, how dare you break into my inner yard? I'll let grandpa take you to jail."

What a spoiled and unreasonable little girl! She makes a accusation without asking any questions. She is exactly the same as her bastard grandfather.

Yuanbao may have recognized her. After looking her up and down, he wisely didn't say anything.

Instead, he shouted at the little girl: "Xun Wanwan, he is my relative. He is here to attend my father's marriage. You are not allowed to be rude to him."

Jiang Muxia didn't bother to pay attention to Xun Wanwan. She walked up to Yuan Bao and said with a smile, "Your grandma asked me to take you to the front. Come with me."

Yuanbao looked at her, nodded heavily, took his sister's hand and was about to follow her.

Unexpectedly, Xun Wanwan rushed in front of them, put her hands on her hips, and said, "You are not allowed to leave. My mother said that you can only stay in this yard and are not allowed to go anywhere else."

After saying that, she shouted inside, "Cui Yu, Cui Zhi, come out quickly. They are going to cause trouble in the front."

Following her voice, two sturdy maids came out of the house.

It seems that the Xun family specially found two strong maids to look after An and the others.

It's really sad that Jiang Hongbin dared to jump into such a tiger's den.
