The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Qin Wan looked at them with a calm expression, "Why are you in the slave market? Didn't you leave together?"

As soon as Qin Wan said this, the expressions of the five people all became embarrassed.

The second wife stepped forward and said, "Eldest Wife, we didn't mean to abandon you in the first place. We didn't even know you were not on the road." Seeing that Qin Wan didn't say anything and looked unconvinced, the second wife assured, "Really, everything I said is true. I swear, if I lied, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

The 12-year-old Zhao Qing also said in a low voice: "We all heard the news from our aunt. She left suddenly. Our family had a carriage and we didn't know that our sister-in-law was not there."

Zhao Rong's face wasn't very good now, and he didn't know what to say. It was obvious that his mother abandoned his sister-in-law because she didn't like her.

"Sister-in-law, blame me!" Zhao Rong lowered his head, embarrassed to face Qin Wan.

Qin Wan was also very hesitant before buying people. She was alone, so she had to be careful when buying people, for fear that those people might have ulterior motives and betray her at any time.

Now that I have met the Zhao family, I can trust them more than strangers.

Qin Wan has nothing to do with the Zhao family, but the child in her belly has something to do with them, so there is a bond between them. "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't think too much about it."

After saying that, he looked at the Second Madam and said, "I believe what Second Aunt said. Although I have only met Second Aunt a few times, I know that Second Aunt is a sensible person."

The Second Madam looked at Cui Yuxuan and said, "Eldest Wife, have you been hiding here all this time? How is the Marquis' Mansion doing?"

Zhao Nanyan also asked, "Who is living in the mansion now? Why would they let you live here? And the place we just came in from is not the side door of the mansion."

Qin Wan explained the current situation to the others, "......This is the situation now. You are the slaves I bought. In order not to be discovered, we all have to be careful. There are people living next door, so we have to be careful when doing things."

The second wife nodded repeatedly. She was captured by the Hu people and had words tattooed on her face. In the past two months, she has suffered unprecedented hardships.

In order to protect her innocence and that of her daughter, she didn't have a single piece of good flesh on her body.

She was now sincerely grateful to Qin Wan. She came to Qin Wan and bowed deeply, "Eldest Wife, Second Aunt thanks you. If you hadn't saved our family, I'm afraid I wouldn't live long."

"Zhao Qing, Zhao Yi, come here and bow to your sister-in-law."

When the Second Madam saluted, Qin Wan moved away and said, "Oh, no, no!"

Qin Wan was not good at saying polite words, nor could she say anything sentimental. She and the people from the second house were just better than strangers, but their feelings for each other were not deep.

"Second Aunt, please take your brother and sister-in-law to wash up. There are still empty houses in the yard. You can choose which one to live in."

Zhao Nanyan nodded, "Boss's wife, let's go back then."

"Uncle, Aunt, there aren't many things in our house now. They were all looted by the barbarians. So the situation at home is not what it used to be."

The second wife naturally understood, "Eldest wife, you don't need to say more, I understand."

Qin Wan thought about it and went back to her room. She took out two sets of clothes she had bought before and said, "Second Aunt, you and Zhao Qing can wear these two sets of clothes."

The second wife was very grateful, "Thank you, eldest daughter-in-law."

Zhao Qing said gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The second wife left quickly. Zhao Rong also wanted to leave, but when he saw a strange and dirty man, he stopped.

This man was a slave bought by his sister-in-law first, and he had to help his sister-in-law look after him, so Zhao Rong did not leave.

Qin Wan came to the dirty man and asked, "Are you Mr. Xie?"

Xie Yu'an looked up suddenly, "You, you know me?"

Qin Wan nodded, "We have met before."

Xie Yu'an also heard their previous conversation, and since this was the Marquis's residence, he immediately thought of Qin Wan's identity, "Are you Zhao Zhen's wife?"

Qin Wan nodded, "Yes!"

Looking at Qin Wan's short hair and the foreign attire she was wearing, Xie Yu'an admitted that the woman in front of him was an intelligent woman.

He reached out and touched the word "Slave" on his head. He was the leader of the three heroes of the capital, but he was not as wise as a woman.

For a moment, Xie Yu'an felt a strong sense of frustration.

Zhao Rong watched the conversation between Qin Wan and Xie Yu'an, not missing a single detail. His elder brother was away, so he had to help his elder brother look after his elder sister-in-law and not let her be bullied by others, nor...

Zhao Rong quickly stopped thinking about this. At this moment, his sister-in-law was such a person that he couldn't allow anyone to have even the slightest evil thought.

Her hair is shorter than men's, her skin is dark, and there is a bald spot on the top of her head.

Zhao Rong felt very emotional. If he met his elder brother, he would definitely tell him about his elder sister-in-law's difficulties.

But who exactly is this person named Xie?

"Hey, what's your name? Why have I never seen you before? You are not from Yanbei City, right? I grew up in Yanbei and have never seen you before."

Zhao Rong is the third son of the Marquis's Mansion and knows many people in Yanbei.

Although Xie Yu'an was covered in dirt, he had a dignified demeanor and was definitely not from a farming family.

"My name is Xie Yu'an, and my grandfather is the current imperial tutor Xie Songqing."

Zhao Rong: “.........”

Zhao Rong opened his mouth in surprise, "Grand Master... Grand Master?"

Although Zhao Rong was the son of a marquis, he had never been out of the north and had never seen the prosperity of the capital. In the mind of the 15-year-old Zhao Rong, Chang'an City was a prosperous and sacred place.

Zhao Rong had also heard of the title of the Three Heroes of Beijing. "Are you Xie Yu'an, the leader of the Three Heroes of Beijing?"

Xie Yu'an touched the words on his forehead and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it won't be the case in the future."

Zhao Rong is not someone who doesn't know anything. Qin Wan asked, "I remember you passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. Why are you in the Northland?"

Seeing Zhao Rong staring with eyes wide open, full of curiosity, Xie Yu'an knew that this man was not a deep thinker, so he explained, "I used to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy, but my father passed away this year."

Zhao Rong understood that a relative had passed away and he was in mourning.

But this kid is really unlucky.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting quite congenially, Qin Wan said, "Well, Zhao Rong, take Master Xie to choose a room!"

Zhao Rong nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law!"

Xie Yu'an bent slightly, "Thank you Madam Zhao for the rescue!"

Qin Wan waved her hand and went straight back to her room.

She has now brought back six living people, and the demand for food has increased suddenly. She will have to think about how to make money in the future.

After all, these people are her slaves on the surface, and she has to take care of them.
