Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Because they spent a lot of time in Shanghe Village, by the time the group arrived at Yuguan Village in the neighboring Qinghe County and found the residence of Uncle Xiaocao's family, it was already dark. Every household had finished their evening meal and was preparing to wash up and go to bed.

Lin Xiaoyue and her group did the same as they did in Shanghe Village. They released the vehicles they had ridden at the entrance of the village and let them find a place to stay as long as they did not alarm the villagers.

Xiaocao's uncle Chen Jinbiao's family of four were not well off to begin with. They traveled thousands of miles and finally moved to a different place. When they met Xiaocao by chance in the town, they saw that she had a piece of land in the town, and hoped to take the opportunity to find a chance for the family of four to squeeze into the house in the town.

However, they never expected that their niece was just a servant of someone else. The master rejected their expectations immediately and threw their family into jail on charges of disturbing public order and having bad intentions. They were kept in jail for ten days before they were allowed to see the light of day again.

Later, they thought about knocking on the door and making a big scene to save their face, but they didn't expect that the other party not only had a great background and knew a miracle doctor, but was also granted the title of princess by the current emperor.

It's really outrageous.

How could such a heaven-defying existence be someone that ordinary people like them could easily bully?

Moreover, according to the other party, a lot of precious medicinal materials were used to save his niece after she was rescued, and there was also a miracle doctor to testify to this.

In this way, not only will they not be able to gain any benefit from it, but they will also have to bear huge debts. How can my uncle's family be willing to accept this?

So, they asked around and found out that the dead girl and the princess had been staying at Xianyu Villa outside Wanbao Town recently. The uncle's family thought of marrying Xiaocao off to a family, so that they could at least earn some money for the betrothal gift.

Of course, it was impossible to find a good family for that dead girl. But the kind of violent, wealthy pervert who could afford to buy someone's life, the eldest uncle's son Chen Duojin happened to meet such a man when he was visiting a brothel in the town. He was the son of the Xie family from Qinghe County.

Speaking of the son of the Xie family, if it weren't for the rumors in the county that he had beaten to death three wives and tortured to death seven or eight concubines, the Xie family was well-off, not only did they own several shops, but their ancestors were also prosperous. Although they are now in decline, their family is still much better off than ordinary people.

However, everyone in Qinghe County knew that the young master of the Xie family had a violent temper and was extremely cruel, and he enjoyed abusing others. However, any elder in the family who had a little bit of blood relationship in mind would not push their daughters into the fire pit, no matter how much they favored boys over girls.

But it was different for the Chen family. When Chen Duojin saw the young master of the Xie family spending money lavishly in the brothel, he immediately became obsessed with money.

After returning home and discussing it with Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, they started to think about Xiaocao.

Chen Duojin became familiar with the young master of the Xie family by going in and out of brothels to have fun with him. As a result, he found an opportunity to have a say in front of the young master of the Xie family.

Taking this opportunity, he would from time to time mention to the young master of the Xie family that he had a cousin who was not only beautiful as a fairy, but also gentle and pleasant in nature. Most importantly, she was a favorite of the now famous and popular Princess Le'an in the Dayuan Dynasty.

Although the young master of the Xie family is a playful and wild person, he also knows that the current situation of his family is not optimistic. If he can marry Chen Duojin's younger cousin, not only will he have a beautiful girl in his room, but he may also become familiar to the princess.

I heard that the princess is a treasure trove. Pinqu Pavilion and Food Street in Yongzhou City are all properties under the name of the princess. If I can get some benefits from it and have a piece of the pie, I can't say I will make a fortune, but at least I will be a wealthy man.

In this way, both parties were interested in the marriage and hit it off immediately, so the matchmaker came to propose marriage.

As the only relative of the girl, the Chen family acted as matchmaker. Naturally, the generous young master of the Xie family would not miss out on their benefits and promised to give them one thousand taels of silver as a matchmaker's reward once the matter was concluded.

The Chen family was immediately delighted when they heard this, and they didn't even think about what would happen if this marriage didn't work out. They were only thinking about the "huge wealth" that was coming, and had long forgotten how they had treated Xiaocao harshly and how they had seized the property of an orphan girl. They also forgot that Xiaocao was now the princess's person, and whether the princess would agree to let Xiaocao leave and marry.

All I can say is that money can move people’s hearts and attract their eyes.

After the two families reached a common goal, they began to plan their own ambitions. However, after waiting for a long time, the matchmaker Lu who was sent came back and angrily scolded them that Xiaocao was only ten years old, so how could he be promised to someone else.

Moreover, seeing how the princess was extremely protective of Miss Xiaocao, it was obvious that there was no room for maneuver or negotiation. She spat at them and said that she could not guarantee the matchmaking, and asked both families to give up the idea as soon as possible.

Matchmaker Lu was really tough, and she was not afraid of the Xie family in Qinghe County. After all, Matchmaker Lu had a good reputation, and although the money the Xie family gave her was very tempting, she didn't lack this business.

There is no need to ruin her reputation and offend Princess Le'an for this marriage that is obviously impossible to come true. It is definitely a losing deal. Matchmaker Lu is not stupid and naturally will not dive into this trap. It is better for her to get out of it as soon as possible.

At that time, the Chen family was scolded by Matchmaker Lu on the spot, and they were so angry that they almost vomited blood. However, they were concerned about the presence of the young master of the Xie family, and were extremely afraid that they would offend this hot-tempered man and be exterminated.

But the four members of the Chen family were trembling with fear. They had waited for a long time but the trial did not come. Instead, they heard the young master of the Xie family clapping his hands and cheering, "Good, good, good, ten years old is good, the age of a flower bud is the most pleasing to this young master!"

The previous moment they were facing a formidable enemy, but in the blink of an eye winter had passed and spring had arrived. The Chen family's hearts were pounding in the air and it took them a while to settle down.

After he had recovered from the shock, he carefully observed that Master Xie indeed did not blame them for hiding the fact that Xiaocao was still young. He patted his chest and shamelessly promised that he would help Master Xie get the beauty.

The words were spoken happily at that time. The young master of the Xie family was so happy that he rewarded the Chen family with 100 taels of silver. After returning to his shabby thatched house, the Chen family had a splitting headache as to how to make the relationship between the cheap girl and the young master of the Xie family come true.

After thinking about it, the Chen family became as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and almost scratched their heads bald.

Just when they were at a loss, they didn’t know if God heard their prayers, but he actually sent the God of Wealth to their doorstep.
