"Thank you, Master. I haven't seen you for a few days. You have gained some weight."

Qin Wan also spoke politely to Xie Yu'an. Although it was Qin Wan who bought him back in the beginning, after knowing his identity, Qin Wan was very polite to him.

But in the past this person was always called “Mrs. Zhao”, but today she is called “Miss Qin”.

Qin Wan couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward at this time, inadvertently blocking Qin Wan's figure, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Xie Yu'an's mouth curled up slightly, "Master Zhao, I am Xie Yu'an."

Zhao Zhen didn't take it seriously when Qin Wan called him Master Xie at first, but now that she called him Xie Yu'an, she became more serious and introduced herself, "I'm Zhao Zhen! Master Xie can call me by my name."

Xie Yu'an was once the prince's companion and the grandson of the current imperial tutor. He himself was the leader of the three heroes and was also the top scholar.

All these identities combined forced Zhao Zhen to take him seriously.

Xie Yu'an also followed suit, "Well, since I'm a few years older than you, I'll just call you by your name."

Soon, Zhao Zhen took Xie Yu'an away.

Zhao Zhen really wanted to know what was happening in the capital, so naturally he had to capture Xie Yu'an, such a walking dictionary.

Qin Wan followed the Second Madam and others to where they lived.

This valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but there is flat land in the middle. There are many houses here, and there are some cultivated fields in front and behind the houses.

Seeing Qin Wan's curiosity, the Second Madam introduced it to her, "I also heard about this place from the villagers. The houses here were built eight years ago. At that time, they came here to seek refuge in order to escape the war.

After the war ended, some people went down the mountain, while some families stayed because they felt it was safe here.

That’s the family over there with cabbages in their garden. They’re the ones who have always lived here.”

When Qin Wan heard the Second Madam’s introduction, she knew that she treated the people here as ordinary villagers.

Qin Wan did not reveal the identity of the villagers. After all, Zhao Zhen told her alone, which showed that he trusted her.

"Second Aunt, it is indeed quiet here. I hope I can stay here until I can give birth safely."

Zhao Qing was very happy to come here. She was not as reserved as when she was in Yanbei City. At this time, she had applied medicine on her forehead to remove the scars.

"Sister-in-law, it looks safe here."

Qin Wan looked at Zhao Qing and smiled. Yes, even if it was not safe, she wanted to make this place a safe nest.

Qin Wan was taken to a thatched house. "Awan, this is the yard for you and Dalang. My house is next door. If you have anything to say, just shout and I will hear you."

Qin Wan was satisfied when she saw that there was a private yard. "Okay, Second Aunt, I'll go in and take a look."

After the second lady sent Qin Wan back, she turned around and went home.

After all, they just came out of their house yesterday, and there were still a lot of things to clean up, so the house was still a mess.

The second wife has changed a lot now. She has lowered her attitude and learned to make friends with the villagers like an ordinary peasant woman.

To be honest, after this incident, she was not very willing to face her former sisters-in-law or the wives of officials in the city.

The second wife originally relied on the first wife for her livelihood, and she was captured by the Hu people. These things cast a shadow on her.

Now she hopes that her family can live like ordinary farmers.

Qin Wan also noticed the changes in the Second Madam, and she couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

Compared with the Second Lady and the Marquis's wife, their situations were much worse and more unfortunate.

But if their family is compared with other people in Yanbei City, their current situation is good, at least they are all alive.

After Qin Wan walked into the yard, she found two rooms. She was very satisfied because she liked having private space.

Although Zhao Zhen had not been here for long, she still didn't want to sleep in the same bed with him.

She took the bag off her back and tried to hide it, but suddenly realized that the room was empty.

There was no other way, Qin Wan could only put the bag in the corner.

She desperately needs a closet.

But this did not pose a problem for her, as there was not much else on the mountain except for many trees.

Qin Wan had just sat on the bed when she heard a series of footsteps.

Soon, several women came in.

Qin Wan stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Hello, Madam Young Master. My last name is Wang. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Wang. My husband is a soldier under the Marquis."

The slightly younger woman, Sister An, also introduced herself: "Madam, my last name is An. I am a few years older than you. You can call me Sister An. My husband works for the eldest young master."

"......"

Then, the remaining women introduced themselves.

When Qin Wan heard their names, she smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, Sister An, Aunt Guihua, Sister Xiuzhi, please don't be polite. Don't call me Madam Young Master. Just call me Awan."

Sister An waved her hands quickly, "No, no, how can we call you that? It's too disrespectful to you."

Qin Wan wanted to make friends with these people. "Sister An, why not? I'm only 16 years old, younger than all of you! Besides, you call me Awan, which is also very friendly!"

Qin Wan never thought that she, who suffered from social phobia in her previous life, would say such words.

I can only say that environment really changes people.

Aunt Wang was the oldest, so she also laughed, "That's fine, we'll call you Awan. To be honest, my eldest granddaughter is two years older than Awan!"

When everyone heard Aunt Wang say this, they also burst into laughter.

"Awan, don't despise this quilt. It's getting colder and colder at this time of year, especially in the mountains."

Qin Wan was naturally not picky. She thanked him, "Aunt Wang, I can't thank you enough. It's great to have a quilt now."

These women brought daily necessities to Qin Wan, and some even gave her plates and bowls, things that Qin Wan could use.

These things were all taken by these people when they fled, and they were carried up the mountain with great difficulty.

Qin Wan expressed her gratitude again: "Thank you, aunt and sisters-in-law, for taking such good care of me."

The women waved their hands quickly, and after a few more pleasantries, they said goodbye.

Qin Wan sat on the bed and looked at the quilt. It was almost November now and it would snow soon.

How can you keep warm just by sleeping on a bed? No matter how many layers of quilts you cover yourself with, it will be useless!

We still have to build the kang.

Qin Wan was so tired after a very tiring day that she lay on the bed, drowsy and about to fall asleep.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Qin Wan was startled awake and looked up to see Zhao Zhen, "You're back?"

Zhao Zhen saw Qin Wan lying on the bed and asked, "Why don't you take off your shoes and get on the bed?"

Qin Wan then remembered that she hadn't washed her feet or taken off her shoes yet. She shrank her feet and said, "I haven't washed yet."

Seeing Zhao Zhen sitting on the bed without hesitation, he immediately got angry and asked, "There is also a room next door, why didn't you go there?"
