Occasionally eavesdropping on the conversations of the Xiao family's second branch, Li Ergou instantly felt that his opportunity had come when he heard about the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
Li Ergou is definitely going to be the son-in-law of the Wu'an Marquisate.
Li Ergou's original plan was to find the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Xiao family, as he looked down upon concubines' daughters.
However, when the legitimate daughter Xiao Qinghe saw Li Ergou, she hid faster than anyone else, and there were royal family members watching her all the time, so Li Ergou had no chance at all.
As for a concubine's daughter, only Xiao Qingyu met the requirements, so Li Ergou turned his target to Xiao Qingyu.
Compared with Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Qingyu likes the feeling of being sought after, and it is easy for Li Ergou to start a conversation with her.
During this period, Li Ergou helped Xiao Qingyu a lot.
Including everything that the villagers of Dashan Village knew during this period, Li Ergou listened to Xiao Qingyu's words and conveyed it to the villagers bit by bit.
The villagers of Dashan Village saw Li Ergou busying around every day and thought that after this incident, Li Ergou's widowed mother was washed away by the flood, and they thought that he had come to his senses and wanted to change his ways and start a new life.
No one would have thought that Li Ergou was trying to curry favor with a wealthy family and become a son-in-law.
Of course, this is just Li Ergou's imagination. He doesn't have the confidence now, so he tells Xiao Bin directly that he wants to win Xiao Qingyu.
Even Xiao Qingyu himself didn't know that Li Ergou had such thoughts.
The villagers of Dashan Village did not notice it either. Only Village Chief Li felt that Li Ergou's behavior was strange, but he could not find any fault. He could only secretly remind Li Ergou several times to not act recklessly and be careful not to harm the villagers of Dashan Village.
Li Ergou agreed very well verbally, and only promised Village Chief Li that he would be a good person in the future and would not do the kind of sneaky things he did before.
And one day, Li Ergou will rebuild the ancestral hall for Dashan Village. He will also help the villagers repair the houses that were flooded this time by contributing money and manpower.
Hearing what Li Ergou said, Village Chief Li really didn't expect it. After a long time, Village Chief Li threw his rationality to the back of his mind and really believed that Li Ergou really wanted to be a good person.
But no one noticed that Li Ergou's widowed mother was pushed directly into the flood by Li Ergou and was not washed away by the flood at all.
If it weren't for Li Ergou, Widow Li would still be alive today.
Xiao Qingyu stamped her feet in anger. I followed behind her and whispered to her, "Second Miss, don't be angry. It's just a small matter. Let them be proud for a while. I will teach them a lesson for you tonight. Look at your face, it's so pale with anger. Brother Ergou is really distressed when he sees it."
Xiao Qingyu was so angry that she didn't notice that Li Ergou's lustful eyes swept over her from top to bottom when he said this.
Finally, his gaze remained on its towering chest, staring at it intently, almost drooling.
Xiao Qingyu said in a pretentious tone, "Thank you, Brother Ergou. You're such a kind person. You know my father has been oppressed by the eldest wife for so many years. We are the legitimate children, but now we are being oppressed by the illegitimate children."
After saying this, he pretended to shed a few tears.
Li Ergou's eyes widened as he kept assuring her, "Don't worry, Miss Er, let Brother Ergou handle these things. You are so pretty, don't get involved in these dirty things."
This remark hit the nail on the head for Xiao Qingyu. Although she was very happy, she still pretended to be worried and said, "How can this be possible? It would be very dangerous for Brother Ergou to go there. After all, everyone in the eldest house knows martial arts. I was just crying and complaining. How can I really let Brother Ergou die?"
Originally, Li Ergou just wanted to achieve his own goal, but he didn't expect that Xiao Qingyu, a rich lady, was also sincere to him.
He also felt a little pity for Xiao Qingyu in his heart, "Don't worry, Second Miss, Brother Ergou knows his limits."
The two of them were being affectionate with each other, and no one knew what they were talking about. No one else was paying attention.
Only Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue's gossipy hearts grew strong.
Mu Ruxue said mysteriously, "I can guarantee that Xiao Qingyu and this Li Ergou are definitely having an affair."
Yun Ruoxi: "It's not an affair, but at least the two of them have impure intentions."
"It's true that her mind is impure. If she has an affair, isn't it just a matter of time?"
For a moment, Yun Ruoxi actually felt that what Mu Ruxue said made some sense.
"Xiaoxue, I think you're right. This is something that can be seen at a glance."
Even many people from the Xiao family's main branch could see that the relationship between Xiao Qingyu and Li Ergou was not simple.
Only the people in the second house did not notice it and simply treated Li Ergou as a slave.
The people from the second house were so annoyed by the people from the first house that they could only hide away in shame, not daring to come out and quarrel again.
But they didn't go far. All the rafts in the entire mountain village were following near the five wooden boats.
Everyone followed in this way, not too far away, and headed towards the Hundred Mountains together.
Mu Ruxue looked at the people from the second branch following behind their group and said unhappily with a pout, "These people are really shameless. The two families are already at such a standoff, and they keep cursing and refusing to accept it, but they still want to climb up and suck the blood of our first branch."
Xiao Jingxuan said: "If Madam is unwilling, we will speed up and leave them far behind, how about that?"
Mu Ruxue's eyes lit up instantly, "Can you really get rid of it?"
Jamel Xiao nodded, “Okay, at our current speed, if we don’t sleep, we can get rid of them in one night.”
Yun Ruoxi was helpless. She had to stay awake all night and it would take a whole night to get rid of it. That would be too tiring for everyone.
I remember that I had stockpiled a lot of propeller motors that could be used on boats in Hyundai.
Just install it at the tail of the hull and push the wooden boat forward through the rotation of the paddle blades.
It is not only small in size, powerful and fast, but also convenient and simple to use.
As long as there is an instruction manual, everyone can get started quickly.
Yun Ruoxi took out five propeller motors from the space. Mu Ruxue asked curiously, "Xixi, what are these?"
"This is a propeller motor. Just put it at the stern of the boat and it'll speed it along, saving us from rowing manually. I used to think these things were too advanced, and it would be too much trouble to unscrew them. But now that I see the people from the Second House chasing us, what do I think? Why am I so upset? To give us a peaceful life, let's use these things. As for the explanation, there's nothing much to explain. Even if they took them, they couldn't make an identical propeller motor."
Mu Ruxue gave a thumbs up in admiration, "She's still my sister, so domineering!!!"
