"That's what you said, but have you ever thought that if your husband dies, wouldn't we all become widows?"
Xu Ruolan couldn't help but speak up, "My corrupt ex-husband has been executed by the imperial court. My new husband has only known me for a few days, and he died before we even slept together. If this gets out, I will definitely be known as a jinx. When men see me, they will hide. How can I get married?"
As she spoke, she covered her face and began to cry: "Wow, my life is so miserable."
The women around her looked at her speechlessly.
Good man, it seems you are worried about being labeled as a husband-killer.
As expected of a woman who has given birth to four children, her way of thinking is completely different from that of young women like them.
"Okay, why are you crying? It's annoying!"
Li Xiuning scolded angrily.
After all, she was the legal wife, and also a princess of the Tang Dynasty. She had been pampered since childhood and had an extraordinary temperament. After being scolded like this, Xu Ruolan was really intimidated by her and shut her mouth obediently.
"So what should we do now? Should we just wait here for my husband to come back? It's already dark now, shouldn't we go find an inn to rest?"
Lu Qiqi asked weakly, looking at An Ruxue and Li Xiuning while speaking.
Although An Ruxue is also a concubine like her, she has an extraordinary temperament and is calm in the face of difficulties. In addition, she is a disciple of the Snow Sword Sect. In their hearts, An Ruxue and Li Xiuning are on the same level of status.
However, facing the questions of the girls, An Ruxue had a cold expression on her face. She was too lazy to even look at them and did not respond with a single word. She just stood aside with a sword in her arms, as if there was no one else around her and only the moonlight as her companion.
Xu Ruolan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said, "Or should we just break up now? Anyway, my husband's money is all in the carriage, so we sisters can divide it up and go our separate ways?"
Hearing this, the other girls looked at each other and all had the same idea at the same time.
They had no feelings for Chen Xuan anyway. If Chen Xuan really couldn't come back, they might as well divide the family property and scatter.
"Asshole!"
However, as soon as this sentence was spoken, Li Xiuning suddenly glared at him and started to scold him harshly.
"Whoever dares to mention the division of the family property again will be punished by my family rules!"
Li Xiuning spoke coldly, her tone extremely cold, staring at Xu Ruolan while speaking.
Xu Ruolan immediately shrank her neck like a frightened quail and dared not say a word.
I was secretly muttering in my heart, family rules? What family rules?
I was just rescued by Chen Xuan yesterday, but Chen Xuan didn't set any house rules.
She thought Li Xiuning was using her status as the legal wife to show off, and she felt a little aggrieved and resentful, but Li Xiuning's attitude was so tough that she didn't dare to say anything more.
"Where are we going now? We can't just wait here forever, right?"
Lu Qiqi said that due to Li Xiuning's majesty, her voice was much lower.
"We'll stay here until dawn. If he comes back, we'll continue to follow him to the frontier. If he doesn't come back, we'll divide the family property and go our separate ways!"
Li Xiuning thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
If he hasn't returned by dawn, it means that Chen Xuan is in great danger.
Then, there is no need for everyone to wait for her anymore.
This proposal is the best solution at the moment.
For a moment, even Xu Ruolan, who had some complaints, didn't say much about this proposal. In her heart, she both hoped that Chen Xuan could come back and yet also hoped that Chen Xuan would not come back.
After all, the gold in the carriage was enough for her to squander for a while.
If I follow Chen Xuan to the border, that bitter and cold place, I don't know what kind of suffering I will have to endure.
Sometimes women's minds are just so twisted.
Li Xiuning suddenly looked at An Ruxue with a complicated expression.
An Ruxue is a warrior, but Li Xiuning doesn’t know what level she is at.
But if she wanted to leave, no woman present could stop her.
In other words, now is the best time for An Ruxue to leave.
Facing Li Xiuning's eyes, An Ruxue naturally understood the deep meaning contained in her eyes.
She snorted coldly: "I, An Ruxue, am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortune. I will not run away when he is not around!"
Hearing this, Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, An Ruxue's presence made her feel more secure. After all, she was a warrior. Although she was seriously injured, she could still exert 30% to 40% of her strength and protect their safety.
…
The night was dark and windy.
There is a hilltop thirty miles away from the entrance of Bandit Mountain.
This mountain is called Jinfeng.
There is a village on the top of the mountain.
This is the infamous Jinfengzhai.
At this time, the bonfire in Jinfeng Village was swaying, and the bandits inside were holding a celebration banquet, drinking heavily and eating large chunks of meat.
"Hahaha, big boss, we really made a fortune this time. Mr. Sima is so damn generous. He spent a full 1,000 taels of gold to buy the life of Chen Xuan, the useless kid from the Chen family!"
"Our second in command personally led 200 people to ambush, and we also have bows and arrows given to us by Mr. Sima. It is said that the loser Chen Xuan asked people from the Yang Escort Agency to escort him. I know that Yang Escort Agency is just a small escort agency. This time, the second in command will definitely be able to wipe them all out!"
The bandits in Jinfeng Village laughed loudly.
In their view, it would be easy for the second in command to personally lead his men to kill a mere Chen Xuan.
At this time, the leader of Jinfeng Village was sitting at the top, wearing a tiger-skin coat with various tattoos of dragons and tigers on his body.
His eyes were fierce and he exuded a creepy aura.
At this moment, he was holding a vessel made of a skull in his hand and was drinking wine with big gulps of the skull.
A smug look appeared on his face.
The second in command was his most loyal dog, who never made any mistakes in his work. He was also waiting for good news from the second in command.
"Report!"
Just then, a bandit with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, a look of panic and fear on his face, staggered in.
"Oh, Baldy Zhang is back. This means the second in command has made a triumphant return."
When the bandits saw the man coming back in such a miserable state, they all burst into laughter.
"I say, Baldy Zhang, why the hell are you like a drowned dog?"
"Where's the second in command? Did you bring back the body of that kid named Chen Xuan? Mr. Sima asked for his body!"
"And the women around that kid, you didn't touch them, did you? Those women need to be sent back to the capital by Mr. Sima."
