The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Although what Li Xi said was not a trivial matter, Doctor Wu was not anxious or panicked. Since those people were counting on Li Xi to "steal" the prescription from him, Li Xi would not be in danger in the short term.

He couldn't rush to the military camp now. After all, no one knew whether those thieves were secretly monitoring them. What if someone was monitoring them and saw Li Xi just leaving him, and he went to the military camp, what if he was exposed?

Li Xi didn't think as much as he did. She had already fooled the person and explained everything clearly. What happened next was theirs.

After all, Gu Jingzhi had promised that he would protect his personal safety as long as he moved to Jiayuguan.

However, Li Xi also had some questions. Where did those people who went to deal with the first group of people who followed him go?

She had delayed for so long, but they didn't come back yet. It was true that it was better to rely on herself than on others. If she really waited for them to rescue her, her grave might be overgrown with grass.

The two consecutive groups of people following him made Li Xi feel a sense of crisis and urgency.

Why didn't I think about it before? The Zhenbei General's Mansion has power, money and soldiers, and it must be a thorn in the eyes of many people.

Throughout history, most generals who held military power did not have a good ending. After all, military power is too important.

The emperor was young, and in order to consolidate his imperial power and let people know who was the master of the country, generals who held military power and were so powerful that they threatened the emperor had to be killed.

The emperor is old and his heir is still young. In order to pave the way for the heir, the general who holds military power and is so powerful that he threatens the emperor must die.

The emperor is old and the princes are of appropriate age. In order to get their hands on the imperial power, generals who hold military power and are so powerful that they threaten the emperor must be killed, because the princes want to use military power to consolidate their own strength.

The emperor was incompetent and listened to slander, so the generals who held military power and were so successful that they frightened the emperor were put to death.

It's not just generals. Anyone who holds something in his hands and becomes too powerful to be feared by his master is in great danger.

At that time, she was only concerned with the geographical and environmental factors of Jiayuguan, and forgot to consider the hidden dangers behind the General's Mansion. She blamed herself for being careless.

But it didn't matter. Her current identity was just a weak woman who was bullied by Gu Jingzhi. She knew nothing about hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, so the danger was much less.

But Li Xi knew that the danger had only decreased a lot, but had not completely disappeared. She did not forget the look in the eyes of the man who had just stopped her when he heard her say that Gu Jingzhi forced a good woman to be his concubine. He definitely had no good intentions.

Before Li Xi had time to figure out what arrangements to make to ensure safety, she heard the sound of the door opening.

She frowned and walked out of the room. Hu Zi should still be studying in the private school at this time, and other people would not come in without knocking. Could it be that the group of people couldn't wait and came to find her?

So fast? Did they overestimate their ability to act?

However, what Li Xi did not expect was that the people outside were not the ones who had followed her just now, but Hu Zi, who should be studying in a private school now.

She was a little surprised, "Huzi, why are you back at this time?"

The Gu family school provides lunch at noon, so Hu Zi never comes back at noon.

Hu Zi put down the small crossbody backpack that Li Xi had someone sew for him, and said, "The teacher has something to do today, so he told us that we will only have half a day of classes today and we will have the afternoon off."

"Is that so?" Li Xi nodded after listening, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Hu Zi touched his belly and nodded.

"Then let's go out to eat." Li Xi didn't like cooking in the first place, and now she had no intention of cooking at all. She had money, so why should she force herself?

Li Xi is a person who likes and loves money, but she is not a stingy person who saves money.

In her opinion, money is earned to be spent. Otherwise, why earn it? Does it look good?

A skit she had seen said that the most painful thing in the world is to die without spending your money. She didn't want to suffer that.

Li Xi took Hu Zi to a restaurant outside for a simple meal. On the way home, Li Xi asked about Hu Zi's study and play in the private school.

"Master Su is a very knowledgeable gentleman. He gives very good lectures. With Tianyou, Jinyu and Awei here, I am not so lonely anymore..."

"That's it, that's pretty good."

Li Xi and Hu Zi crossed the busy streets and walked back slowly. When they arrived at an inn, Li Xi suddenly heard someone calling her Daya, and the voice sounded very familiar.

Since coming to Jiayuguan, or since leaving Lijiazhuang, she rarely heard people calling her name outside.

"Tiger!"

Li Xi frowned and looked up in the direction of the voice. She saw that the window facing the street on the second floor of the inn next to her was open, and standing in front of the window was a person she was very familiar with.

Madam Liu didn't expect that she would meet them so soon.

Seeing Li Xi looking at her, Madam Liu adjusted the gold hairpin on her head with her hand, wanting her to take a good look at what kind of good life she was living now, to prove that her choice was not wrong.

But Li Xi was too lazy to satisfy her pitiful self-esteem. She lowered her head and glanced at Hu Zi, but Hu Zi lowered his head, pulled her clothes and remained silent.

There was nothing Li Xi didn't understand. She just acted as if she didn't hear or see anything and just pulled Hu Zi away.

Madam Liu never expected that they would react like this. She stood in front of the window, watching their backs as they left.

Mr. Wang was originally lying on the bed to rest. He was fifty years old this year. Although he lived a life of luxury, he was getting old after all. After taking a horse carriage from Jiangning City all the way to Jiayuguan, he could not bear it any longer.

That's why she asked the maid in the mansion to take Madam Liu to buy jewelry.

He didn't get up when Madam Liu came back. He closed his eyes and listened to Madam Liu cleaning up the room. Unexpectedly, in a half-asleep state, he suddenly heard Madam Liu shouting "Daya" and "Huzi" loudly out of the window.

Mr. Wang sat up from the bed, his eyes slightly narrowed. Of course he knew who Daya and Huzi were. After all, the purpose of his trip was for them.

When he put on his shoes and walked to the window, he saw Madam Liu standing there.

He put his arm around her, "What happened?"

Madam Liu looked depressed. "I just saw Daya and Huzi. They clearly heard the noise and saw me, but they pretended not to see me and just left."

Wang patted her back with his belly protruding. "The child is still young, so it's understandable that she doesn't understand why you remarried. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a mother and her children. We can talk it out when the time comes."

Listening to Wang Yuanwai's words of consolation and comfort, Lady Liu couldn't help but feel aggrieved. "How can they treat their children like this? It's like they're here to collect debts."

At this moment, Madam Liu remembered Li Xi's aggressive look when she was slashing people with a knife, and she felt more and more that her daughter was a rebellious person.

Hu Zi is such a good child, but he doesn't even recognize his mother after only being with her for a short time.

"I know you've been wronged, but that's what being a parent does. Children are bound to make mistakes when they are young, and we adults must be more tolerant and forgiving.

When we recognize them later, you and I will teach them more."

Hearing him say this, Madam Liu blushed. Compared to Li Tiezhu, a man who only knew how to work and had no sense of romance, Mr. Wang, who was full of sweet words, obviously won Madam Liu's heart more.

Originally, Madam Liu had a weak will, and Mr. Wang was also a man who was good at sweet-talking, so not long after she married him, she fell in love with him.

Mr. Wang was indeed a capable man. Although he had many concubines and was a lustful man, he was not a good-for-nothing.

Otherwise, he would not be able to marry so many wives and concubines. Although Wang Yuanwai's family lives in the countryside, his business is not small. He lives in the countryside to experience the feeling of being a local rich man and also to keep a low profile.

Because of his business, Mr. Wang had developed a good eloquence. At first, Ms. Liu was a little resistant to him, but after a few days she was coaxed into submission by him.

Mr. Wang had a fetish for women. He liked young women, especially married women. Otherwise, with his ability and money, it would have been easy for him to find a virgin. How could he marry Liu Niangzi, a widow who had just lost her husband?

Mr. Wang is a person who gets bored easily, otherwise he wouldn't have so many wives and concubines. After marrying Lady Liu for half a year, he actually became a little bored with her and became much colder towards her in his daily life.

He had thought that it was about time to take in another concubine, but he didn't expect that at this moment he would hear that the two children born to Madam Liu and her ex-husband were related to the General Zhenbei's Mansion. Not only that, her youngest son was now studying in the clan school of the General Zhenbei's Mansion.

He had inquired around and found out that there were only two students in the Gu family school, one of whom was her son. Her son and daughter must have a close relationship with the Zhenbei General's Mansion, so she decided to go to Jiayuguan to look for her relatives.

Seeing that Madam Liu was in a low mood, Mr. Wang did not take it seriously. This was a chance to establish a relationship with the General Zhenbei's Mansion, so what did it matter if he gave her the cold shoulder?

But unlike Mr. Wang, Madam Liu is a person who values ​​her face very much. When Li Tiezhu was alive, he always respected her as his wife except for the affairs of the Liu family. After his death, Li Xi traveled through time. She was actually not used to Li Xi's dominance. In her opinion, Li Xi was challenging her authority.

In fact, regardless of the existence of the Liu family, Li Xi and Lady Liu will eventually quarrel because of their different ideas and concepts. It is impossible for Li Xi to change himself, and the family will probably fall apart by then.

At this moment, Madam Liu was already regretting making this trip. She had just bought them such expensive gifts, and they treated her like this. She felt angry just thinking about it.

Recalling the backs of Daya and Huzi turning away without hesitation, Madam Liu became even angrier. She began to regret coming here. "Master, why don't we go back? I'm still young, and you're in good health. I still want to have a child of our own with you."

She finally understood that Daya was an ungrateful person and she could no longer count on her. As for Hu Zi, he had probably been corrupted by Daya. The only thing she regretted now was why she didn't take Hu Zi with her when she remarried.

Wang Yuanwai would not let her back down, "Of course I also want a child of ours, but your child is my child.

I really can't bear to let their two children wander around. I know that they are the children you carried for ten months and gave birth to. You must be more reluctant to let them go than I am. How can I bear to let you be reluctant to let them go?"

These words made Madam Liu choked up and moved. She was choked up because she was not reluctant to let go, but she couldn't say it. Otherwise, if the master, as a stepfather, couldn't bear it, how could she, as a biological mother, bear it?

I was touched that I didn't expect the master would care so much about me.

Li Xi, who had already left with her brother, had no idea that her cheap mother now had a new attribute of being in love.

"Hu Zi, she has remarried. From the moment she remarried, she and we are no longer ourselves. Do you understand?" Li Xi sighed as she watched Hu Zi walking with his head down and in silence.

Hu Zi lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, I know, but I'm still a little sad."

Li Xi touched his head. He was just a child, and unlike her, his small body did not contain a mature soul. He was at the age where he needed motherly love. Madam Liu just left him like that. How could he not be sad?

She comforted Hu Zi, saying, "It's normal to feel sad. You can cry if you want to, but life still has to go on. Just wipe away your tears after crying."

Hu Zi's lowered eyes turned red in an instant. Afraid that his sister would notice, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Hu Zi has grown up and is the only man in the family. That's why Hu Zi won't cry."

Li Xi pretended not to see his little action of wiping tears, and did not hear the sob in his voice, and said with a smile, "Is that so? Then Sister will wait for Hu Zi to protect her in the future. Hu Zi will protect Sister, right?"

Hu Zi nodded his little head vigorously, "Of course, Hu Zi will definitely protect his sister."

Although Hu Zi is young, he knows who treats him well. The one who treats him best is his sister. She feeds him well, clothes him well, and sends him to school. There is no one in the world who treats him better than his sister.

From the previous encounter, Li Xi could tell that Madam Liu was living a good life. She wore a golden hairpin as thick as a finger on her head, and the peach pink dress she was wearing was obviously not a cheap item. It seemed that Mr. Wang treated her well.

But what puzzled her was why she wanted to call herself and Hu Zi.

She had seen Liu Niangzi's selfishness when she was in Lijiazhuang before. Others said that she was sold as a concubine by her parents who favored boys over girls, but she might have thought that she could take this opportunity to get rid of her and Hu Zi, these two burdens.

She is living a good life now, so she probably doesn't want to be disturbed by her and Hu Zi. Although they didn't intend to disturb her.

There must be something else behind her abnormal behavior, but she doesn't know what she is planning yet.

But she was not afraid. It was just a matter of fighting against the enemy with soldiers and covering the water with earth.

"Let's go home!" Li Xi held Hu Zi's hand.

Hu Zi nodded vigorously, "Well, go home!"
