"What did you say, you brat?" Upon hearing this, the woman's face darkened, and she stood up, ready to attack Feng Biluo. Feng Biluo, however, would not allow her to do so. She grabbed the woman's hand and pulled hard, causing the woman to scream.
"Ah... Murder! Murder!" Gu Guoquan and the others rushed over and frowned as they looked at the woman rolling around on the ground. At the same time, Gu Guoquan's mother was also looking at the woman on the ground.
"Brother, why aren't you keeping an eye on your daughter-in-law? What's wrong with her acting crazy here?" Gu's mother's face darkened as she looked at the person on the ground. Gu Guoquan's family was well-off, and Gu Guoquan himself was doing quite well.
This is a courtyard house in the city, and it's full of guests. But here, the nephew's wife is making a scene, making Gu's mother feel disgusted. What's more, Feng Biluo looks so delicate and weak, and she's with her burly nephew's wife. It's obvious who's bullying whom.
Feng Biluo ignored her, but Ji Huangquan looked at her and said, "It's nothing." The woman didn't dare to shout anymore. After being slapped a few times by Gu Mama's older brother's wife, who was also the woman's mother-in-law, she immediately stopped complaining.
Although Feng Biluo disliked women, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing her mother-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law doing things so casually, especially when the people around her took it for granted and didn't think it was wrong at all. She couldn't help but feel a bit complicated.
Women in this era have a really low status. They can be trampled on at any time. Feng Biluo had no appetite. Ji Huangquan made her a bowl of rice and some meat and vegetables. Feng Biluo and Feng Fuya sat down and ate.
Although there is food in the space, it's not a good thing to be too unconventional. What Gu Guoquan just talked about with Ji Huangquan was inviting Ji Huangquan to join the bandit suppression, so that the bandit suppression could proceed smoothly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Huangquan nodded and finally agreed. However, just then, flames suddenly shot into the sky not far away. "That place is near Ji Family Village." Looking at the distance, Ji Huangquan and the others were stunned.
Gu Guoquan and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately rode away. The soldiers rushed to put out the fire. The bride stood there, stunned, watching the people leave. She stretched out her hand halfway, but when Gu Guoquan turned around, she said, "Be careful."
Today is her wedding night, and the bride is inevitably a little disappointed, but she also understands that there are some things that are beyond her control. Moreover, since she has decided to marry this man, she has to accept everything.
Just then, after Feng Biluo and the others finished eating and packed everything up, they were about to leave when they heard a sound at the front door. Soon, a group of people burst in; they were some fierce-looking bandits carrying guns.
"The fortune teller was right after all. When officials hold weddings, all the guests are their wives. We've taken them all back. Let's see if those officials still dare to suppress us bandits. This bride is really beautiful." The bandits laughed as they looked at the bride not far away.
Many of the people present changed their expressions. Old Zhang's wife and others were there, but at that moment, someone immediately shouted, "We're just here for the wedding banquet. Those are the officials' wives..."
The person speaking at this moment was the daughter-in-law of Gu's mother's brother, who directly pointed Feng Biluo and the others inside, causing them to frown.
The bandits weren't stupid; they naturally noticed those who were well-dressed and tied them up immediately. Feng Biluo and the others were also there, but as for the remaining people, Feng Biluo closed her eyes and heard gunshots.
She couldn't make a move right now. There were more than twenty of them, and she might not be able to win even if she took action herself. In that case, everyone might be killed. The ones who were shot were the ones who resisted; the bandits didn't intend to kill.
It seemed that these people had some reservations, but Feng Biluo soon realized that although these people were not family members, they were still relatives. If they were really killed, the deal might go wrong.
Feng Biluo's guess was correct. They weren't trying to kill anyone; they just didn't want the soldiers chasing after them and planned to take these women's families hostage. As for those relatives, they couldn't actually kill them.
If they really killed someone, the negotiations would fail and cause even more trouble... Besides, it was just a warning shot. Of course, the person hit would scream in agony nearby. Feng Biluo was much calmer. Feng Biluo looked at the others.
The women's faces remained calm, though still somewhat pale. The bandits bound them with their bodies and dragged them away. Although Feng Biluo wasn't an official's wife, the problem was just as others had described.
Feng Biluo's clothes were so well-dressed, and her temperament was even more outstanding. In the bandit's mind, she was beautiful, good-looking, and had a perfect temperament. Was she not an official's wife or a peasant's wife? That would be a joke.
So they decisively tied up Feng Biluo as well. Feng Biluo was dragged along while bound, with Gu Mama and the others following behind. When Gu Mama looked at Feng Biluo, she said, "I'm so sorry."
"It's nothing." Feng Biluo shook her head and said. She had come along with a plan. Since she was going to be arrested, she shouldn't resist. She could protect the child herself. After being dragged away like this, Ji Huangquan's people also returned.
Ji Huangquan's expression changed upon seeing the mess on the ground. He was initially alarmed, but quickly took a deep breath and remembered that the current Feng Biluo was not the Feng Biluo who was nothing at the beginning, but a transmigrator. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Guoquan and his group went to the vicinity of Ji Family Village, only to find that the bandits had indeed gone there, but had left after burning the place down. They had been lured away from the village; their target was never Ji Family Village, but the guests at the wedding banquet.
