Chapter 170 Xiao Xuance Dreams of His Past Life
When Xiao Xuance saw the wary look in her eyes, the murderous intent in his eyes faded.
Instead, I felt sorry for her; she must have been in danger frequently in the past to react so quickly and vigilantly.
He's just gone mad, taking a dream as reality and giving her that look. He must have scared her.
His long eyelashes concealed his murderous intent as he lowered his gaze and reached out to grasp her shoulder. "Xue'er, don't be afraid. I just had a nightmare. I didn't mean to scare you. Give me the dagger. Don't hurt yourself or the baby."
"Nightmare? What kind of nightmare?" Yun Zhaoxue brushed him aside, sheathed her dagger, and placed it at her side.
Xiao Xuance felt guilty, thinking about how he had wanted to kill her in his dream. "I dreamt that you... abandoned me."
"You think you can kill me for this? I don't believe it. Honesty is essential between husband and wife."
Xiao Xuance told her about the scene he dreamed about in detail.
Yun Zhaoxue understood; it turned out she was dreaming about her past life. No wonder she looked at her with those eyes.
They had just confirmed their feelings for each other when he dreamed of his past life—it was an unbelievable coincidence.
Damn the plot! Don't villains and vicious female supporting characters deserve to fall in love?
She insisted on talking about how things are done and that she had plenty of ways to deal with it.
Yun Zhaoxue cupped his face in her hands, "People shouldn't think too much. If they do, they'll have all sorts of weird dreams. Dreams are always the opposite of reality. I'll add a few herbs to your prescription later, and you'll be able to sleep soundly from now on."
Xiao Xuance nodded slowly, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
"Hmm, so good!"
Yun Zhaoxue pulled him into her arms, stroking his head like a puppy, her eyes slightly raised, a hint of triumphant smile in her gaze, like a cunning fox.
Xiao Xuance leaned against her chest; she was so fragrant and soft. He took a deep breath, inhaling her body fragrance.
He wanted to rely on his wife for the rest of his life, but as soon as the thought came to mind, he immediately rejected it. He was a man, and he had to support his wife, children, and family.
He couldn't let her get tired.
However, we can rely on it for now.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, nestled his head against her chest, and gently nuzzled her.
"Ouch, you're pressing on me and hurting me."
Xiao Xuance quickly stepped back, "I rubbed it for you."
Yun Zhaoxue pointed to her ample breasts, "Here, do you dare? Ever since I got pregnant, they've been constantly swollen and painful here."
Xiao Xuance's face flushed red, the redness spreading down to his neck.
He could too; they are husband and wife, and their hearts are in sync.
"Okay, I was just kidding. Get up and get ready to leave."
...
Yesterday, Lao Liao sent someone to inform those staying at the Xu residence that they must arrive at the inn before 3 AM.
But now there's not a single person here.
"Where is he? Go and urge him." Old Liao was angry again. Getting angry first thing in the morning was really bad luck.
This group of people is really unlucky.
Zhao Jiu and another escort ran towards the Xu family's house.
Two quarters of an hour later, he ran back and said, "Master Liao, the Shen family says the person is still unconscious and can't travel unless... they are allowed to use a carriage like the Xiao family, otherwise they won't leave."
Old Liao gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce. "Not leaving? You think you can threaten me just because you have someone backing you up?"
"They're all scrambling for the benefits, but when it comes to dealing with bandits and killing wolves, they run faster than rabbits. If they're really good at killing wolves and bandits, I'll let them ride in a horse-drawn carriage too."
The Xiao family's carriage was earned by themselves. If someone in the group had objections, they dared to speak out but dared not get angry. They didn't dare to bring it up to Lao Liao. Who wasn't afraid of being whipped?
If the Shen family is set as an example and they are allowed to ride in a carriage, then all other families will follow suit. Would that still be considered exile?
Let's just change it to a spring outing instead.
"Anyone who dares not leave, I'll whip them to death!" Old Liao lashed the ground with his whip, "Crack!"
The guards backed away in fright, saying, "Brother Liao, it's them who won't leave, not us."
The exiles present heard that the Shen family was staying in Xuzhou and wouldn't leave, so they covered their wounds and complained of pain here and there.
He then said to Old Liao, "Uncle Liao, why don't we rest for another half day before we leave? Our injuries haven't healed yet."
"Yes, my feet were bitten, and I can't walk at all. I sweat when I walk, and the sweat soaks the wounds. I'm afraid my legs are going to be ruined. Maybe I should rest for another day."
Old Liao glared at the group of men who were leading the group. "You took a day off yesterday, and you want another day off today? You might as well just lie here and rest. I'll go back to the capital and report to the Dali Temple. I'll have the officials ask the Dali Temple to issue an imperial decree to chop off your heads."
He had wanted to quit for a long time.
"No, no, no, Mr. Liao, we know we were wrong. You're in charge."
"From now on, no one is allowed to mention riding in a carriage to me. If anyone in your family is injured, go and buy a cart to push them around. You have one hour. If you haven't bought one yet, get back here right now. We'll buy one when we reach the next city."
"You few watch over them, the rest of you come with me to the Xu residence."
They must set off in one hour. If the Shen family wants to stay, they will be considered fugitives and will bear the consequences themselves.
