Jiang Sining knew that even if she could blackmail Jiang Yaozong, it would be almost impossible for her to escape the marriage arranged for her by Old Lady Jiang.

This happened too quickly and too suddenly. She was not prepared for anything. It seemed that there was no other way except running away from home.

She could hide in the mountains and forests and live a secluded life for the rest of her life, but what about Jiang Yan and Qianqian?

After thinking about it all night, she decided to do her best and try all the methods she could think of.

If nothing works in the end, then take Jiang Yan and Qianqian away first and think of other ways later.

Early the next morning, she went to Muramasa's house.

The village chief of Liuyun Village is called Cao Yin. He is less than fifty years old and was one of the few educated people in the village when he was young.

In the original body's memory, Cao Cun was a very knowledgeable, dignified and upright person.

So Jiang Sining’s first solution was to ask Muramasa to help her make the decision.

The house of Muramasa's family was built in a very grand style. More than a dozen adobe and green-tiled houses formed a large courtyard, which was at least twice as large as the Jiang family's courtyard.

When Jiang Sining arrived, more than 20 people from the Cao family, big and small, were sitting in the yard drinking porridge, and each of them had a small piece of white bread in their hands.

You can have breakfast during the slack season, and it is so rich. It is the only one in Liuyun Village.

"Isn't this Miss Ning from the Jiang family?" Muramasa's wife, He, was the first to see Jiang Sining and asked, "Why are you here?"

When the others heard her words, they all turned to look at Jiang Sining, but they just glanced at her and continued to eat.

"I'm here to see Grandpa Muramasa."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Here's the thing," Jiang Sining said, "My grandmother arranged a marriage for me, but I don't want to get married yet..."

boom--

Before he could finish his words, Cao Cunzheng slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"No rules!"

Cao Cunzheng's majestic eyes shot straight at him like two sharp knives.

"Since ancient times, men and women must marry according to their parents' orders and matchmakers' agreements!"

"Your mother is gone, and you don't know who your father is, so you naturally have to listen to your grandmother's arrangements!"

"As long as it's a formal marriage, if she asks you to marry, you have to marry her!"

"She told you to marry a chicken, so you can't marry a dog!"

"If you dare to go against your grandma's wishes, you are being disloyal and unfilial! You are violating human ethics!"

"By then, not to mention the Jiang family, the entire Liuyun Village, and even the entire world, will not tolerate you!"

Jiang Sining: ...

What the hell, she was scolded for just saying one sentence.

It seems that asking Muramasa for help and support is completely impossible.

"Ning girl," He said earnestly, "You are still young, and you don't understand many things. When we women reach a certain age, we should marry peacefully and take care of our husbands and children."

"Since your grandma has made the arrangements, she must have chosen them carefully and will not treat you unfairly."

"Be obedient and go back."

"This is a big happy event for you, so don't look so sad."

"I will go find your grandma later and ask her to buy you a decent dowry so that you can be proud after you get married."

Jiang Sining nodded and quickly returned to the shack.

Jiang Yan and Qian Qian had already gotten up and were sitting side by side at the door of the shack waiting for her. Seeing that she looked unhappy, Jiang Yan asked worriedly, "Sister, what did Grandpa Muramasa say?"

Jiang Sining shook his head.

"Then big sister," Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and said, "then let's run!"

“Big sister, let’s run!” Qianqian also said, “Run very far and hide so that grandma can’t find us!”

"I have another idea I want to try." Jiang Sining said, "If it doesn't work, let's leave."

"Sister, what else can you do?"

Jiang Sining’s method is very simple.

Didn't Jiang Hua want her to get married? Then she would get married.

But she didn't marry that lame Zhao, but found someone to marry herself.

Of course, it’s not a real marriage, it’s just a show.

This requires that the man must absolutely listen to her.

But in this world, are there any men who are absolutely obedient?

It really does.

Weren't there a lot of prisoners sent here yesterday? Many are going to be sold. She would pick an obedient one, or a young one, and buy him as her husband. She would make it a done deal first, and Zhao Bozi wouldn't pester her anymore.

These prisoners who were exiled and sold at low prices were almost the same as slaves. They had even less human rights than women and they were thankful as long as they could have food to eat.

When it comes to family matters, isn't it up to her to decide what she wants?

After a while, she could send him off with a divorce letter, and she could live independently and be free forever.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.

The only problem was, she had to hurry.

Jiang Hua set the wedding date for her in four days, and before that, she had to buy a man to get married.

So she asked Jiang Yan and Qianqian to stay at home, and she quickly rushed to Gaochuanji.

The county government was very efficient. The prisoners who had just arrived yesterday were already being sold publicly today. The auction took place right in front of the county government office. When Jiang Sining arrived, there were already hundreds of people gathered there.

And whether they came to buy or to watch the fun, they were all men.

Jiang Sining squeezed in with great effort. When he looked up, he saw that the people standing on the steps were all old women in their forties or fifties, each costing 80 taels.

The price really shocked her.

A female servant costs 80 taels, so wouldn’t a male servant be even more expensive?

But even at such a high price, there are still many people coming to buy.

After all, she is a maid from the General's Mansion. Whether it is the way she does things or the rules she understands, she is not comparable to ordinary maids.

It didn't take long before the several maids were sold out.

The next people to be brought out were a few maids in their twenties, who were sold for 150 taels each.

The maid from the General's Mansion was probably incomparable to the daughters of several wealthy men in Baichuan County in terms of appearance and knowledge. She was snatched away as soon as she came out.

But this price is really outrageous.

Anyway, if Jiang Sining were a rich man, he would never spend so much money to buy it.

After the maidservant was sold, an official shouted to the crowd, "There is only one left."

Before he finished his words, a creaking sound was heard.

They all looked and saw a large cart, and on the cart lay a pale, thin young man. His exposed calves were severely deformed and swollen thicker than his thighs.

Jiang Sining was slightly stunned. Isn’t this Si Chenan, the son of the great general and the villain in the original novel?

When I saw him from a distance yesterday, I knew he was poisoned and his calf was seriously injured. Now when I went in, I saw that the signs of poisoning had not improved at all, and his calf had even worsened.

If he wasn't treated in time, even if the poison didn't take his life, his leg would probably be crippled.

She thought back to the original novel and the villain's fate seemed quite miserable.

His father was convicted of colluding with foreign enemies and his entire family was exiled. He was not spared and was sold to a remote area as a slave.

Because his leg injury was not treated in time, he later became a cripple, but what was even worse was that his mother, younger brother and younger sister were separated from him.

By the time he recovered and had gained a certain amount of strength to look for people, the plague had already broken out the next year.

Finally the person was found, but his mother was sick and was on her last breath.

The 12-year-old sister was sold to a brothel and was tortured beyond recognition.

His younger brother was the most miserable because he had the most violent temper and the family who bought him could not discipline him. In the end they gouged out one of his eyes, broke one leg and one arm, tied him up with a chain in the yard, and kept him like a dog.

His own experiences, coupled with the misfortunes of his family, darkened his character and made him more and more eager for revenge. Finally, he started a rebellion and soon formed a large army.

Si Chenan's state of mind also changed drastically, and from then on he became a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye. Wherever he passed, rivers of blood flowed. All the families of those rich gentry and officials would be killed by him without leaving a single one alive.

He was worthy of being the son of a great general. He was a master at using troops, and it took him only two years to reach the capital.

But the villain is still a villain after all, and ultimately he cannot defeat the protagonist's halo.

The heroine's space stored countless food and grass, allowing the defenders of the capital to hold out for a long time. However, Si Chenan was poisoned too deeply and his injuries lasted too long, resulting in a serious hidden illness. At the moment when the city was about to be breached, he fell ill and died.

After Si Chen'an's death, his army naturally collapsed, allowing the male and female protagonists to gain great merit for nothing and be rewarded by the emperor. From then on, they lived a happy and shameless life and had a total of six children.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sining cast his gaze towards the young man covered in blood. This guy is really a cockroach as he is not dead yet.
