After much deliberation, Chen's parents decided to marry her to the butcher.
"Mr. Bai Xiaoyu obviously has no interest in you, and we don't even know where he lives. Zhu Dazhuang is better. He helps other families hunt and occasionally gets a few pounds of meat."
"Besides, I can't bear to see you marry far away. If you live closer, I can visit you often, right?"
Wang Xiaocui looks like a good sister-in-law.
"Yes, Sister Xiaoyu treats you like her own sister. It would be great if you could marry Zhu Dazhuang! It's close to home, so if he dares to bully you, your brother can come and teach him a lesson for you, right? If you go far away and get bullied by your husband's family, we, your family members, won't be able to stand up for you, right?"
Don't be so hypocritical here.
"Mom, my daughter is still young and there's no need to rush her to get married."
Chen's mother looked at her as if to say, "Why are you so ignorant?"
"How can I be young? After two years at my husband's house, I'll be a grown-up girl. These two years are perfect for you to cultivate your relationship with your husband."
Father Chen sat aside without saying a word, obviously agreeing.
Chen Daoyuan was even more thinking about getting the three taels of silver as a betrothal gift so that he could build another small courtyard.
Xiao Cui said that she wanted to give birth to many big fat boys, and that the house was indeed a little too small and not enough for them to live in.
Bai Shao looked unhappy when he saw her come out.
"Miss Xiaoyu, if you are willing, I can take you away."
But I can't marry you.
"Really! Thank you, Mr. Bai."
No one knew what Bai Shao said to them, but the Chen family happily packed their luggage and prepared some dry food for them to set off.
Wang Xiaocui said maliciously:
"Sister, you are so happy! As the saying goes, it is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. I didn't expect that sister would be so willing to be so lowly. Look, you are just a concubine, but you are so happy."
Oh! So Bai Shao told them that he wanted to take her as a concubine?
But she didn't care. As long as she left them openly, no one would care about her anymore.
"Of course I'm very happy. Unlike my sister-in-law, no one wants to be my concubine."
Don't think I don't know that you like Bai Shao. Look at the way you flirt with him every day. Only that fool Chen Daoyuan treats you like a treasure.
In the capital of Kunlun Kingdom, the streets are bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking from various stalls can be heard everywhere.
There was also a group of officers and soldiers parading a young boy through the streets for public display.
"That's Ji Xuan, the hostage of the Western Regions. All my injuries are caused by him."
It turned out that the Western Regions sent people to rescue their prince. Bai Shao was ordered to hunt them down, but they had reinforcements, so Bai Shao could only let his men take the hostage back to the city first.
He led those people away himself, and finally fell on the roadside with wounds all over his body, and was rescued by Jiang Xiaoyu.
Seeing a hint of pity in her eyes, Bai Shao continued:
"Xiaoyu, don't be fooled by his appearance. Ji Xuan is not a good person. He lived in the palace at first, but all the palace maids he took care of died within three months."
"He also beat up the young princes in the palace. He was truly vicious. Later, the emperor exiled him from the palace and even arranged for him to be a hostage. But he actually burned the mansion down..."
Bai Shao said a lot, and he seemed to hate this proton very much.
After he stopped, Jiang Xiaoyu quickly said goodbye.
"Mr. Bai, you should be almost home, right? In that case, we'll take our leave now."
"Xiaoyu, won't you come home with me?"
"Mr. Bai, didn't I tell you? I don't have any improper thoughts about you. I just don't want to get married so early, so I deliberately lied to my parents."
"I plan to find a job and go back home in a few years."
I brought her up myself, how can I just leave her alone?
"No, I'm worried about you being alone out there. So come back with me and I'll find you a job."
Isn't this bad? You definitely want me to be a maid, right? I won't go back with you.
"No need, Mr. Bai, I can do it myself, don't worry about me, just go."
After saying that, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and waved goodbye to him.
"The host, Master Bai, has someone watching you. He might be afraid you'll be in danger, so he deliberately sent someone to protect you."
Who cares? Let him stare if he wants.
At the Princess's Mansion, the young master helped his son up with heartache.
"My son, you are finally back..."
"Don't cry, mother. It's all my fault. I made you worry."
"It's good that the silly boy is back."
In Shijin Shop, Jiang Xiaoyu has become an apprentice.
The shop was run by an old lady who lived alone with her son.
When Aunt Yang saw the flowers she embroidered on the sleeves of her clothes, she nodded with satisfaction and praised her.
"Miss Jiang has really skillful hands."
"No, it's all thanks to Auntie who taught me well."
Yang Wenli is the son of Aunt Yang. I heard that he is studying in an academy and has passed the examination for a scholar.
Today was also the first time Jiang Xiaoyu met him.
"Mom, I met a distinguished person today. He asked me to work with him. I want to ask for your opinion."
My son is definitely not cut out for studying and taking the imperial examinations.
"Who is that distinguished person?"
"Oh! It's the eldest son of Princess Chongwen's mansion."
Yang Wenli's father was a flag bearer, so he also had good martial arts skills.
Now he has retired from school and is following the eldest son of the princess to learn how to be a guard.
As for why she wanted to stay here, it was of course because Yang Wenli once saved the original owner's life. That was after the original owner married her third husband.
At that time, Yang Wenli reached out to help her and encouraged her to live bravely.
