The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the yard, the burly man immediately knelt down in front of her and burst into tears.

Xu Yingtao was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back.

what's the situation?

"My dear countryman, I've finally waited for you! Otherwise, when we return to the county, the boss will break our legs!" said the man with tears and snot.

Their family property and wives were all in Guiyun County. When they set out, the three heads of the family said that they would protect Xu Xiangjun's safety with their lives, and if a strand of his hair was missing, one of their fingers would be chopped off.

If their fingers were not enough, they would use those of their parents, wives and children.

Therefore, when they learned that Xu Yingtao was detained by Wang Zhizhou, they felt like the sky had fallen.

If he goes back to the county town, having his arms and legs broken would be the least of his worries!

The few people had no choice but to take turns guarding outside the villa, waiting for a miracle to happen.

After waiting for three days, they finally saw Madam Yan jumping into the river. They quickly divided the work, two people went to rescue her, one went back to report the news, and the remaining one continued to hold on.

God will not let down those who work hard, and he finally got what he waited for.

The residents in the house heard the noise and ran out.

They are an elderly couple.

The man who was kneeling on the ground and crying said, "My dear, this is my uncle's house. You can stay here for a few days. When I think of a way, I will take you away!"

The two elderly people also hurried forward to pay their respects.

Xu Yingtao quickly helped them up and asked why they couldn't set off now.

After asking, I found out that that bastard Wang Zhizhou blocked the river and the official road to prevent them from escaping.

Xu Yingtao was speechless.

If you don’t know, you might think she has traveled to a dungeon where a domineering president is chasing his wife.

Unfortunately, the person chasing her now is a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a big belly.

It makes me sick just thinking about it.

She asked about Yan Yunlan's situation again, and was relieved to learn that the two people who went to rescue her were excellent swimmers and would definitely be able to successfully take her away from the state capital.

Now, there is not much she can do and she can only leave everything to fate.

"Oh, this is for you." Xu Yingtao casually took out a gold hairpin from her bag and said, "Go find a clinic and ask the doctor to go to the other hospital to save people. Don't expose yourself."

She didn't want to be responsible for more than forty lives.

The man took the hairpin and ran out in a hurry.

Only then did Xu Yingtao look at the two old people seriously.

Just by looking at his face, she could tell that he was a very kind person, so she decided to settle down here.

Tomorrow, that bastard Wang Zhizhou will probably search the city. She has to conserve her energy and fight wits and courage with the bastard official who forced her to become a concubine.

On the other hand, accompanied by Zheng Wen, Xie Bai traveled back and forth by land and water, working non-stop day and night, and shortened the journey that originally took six days to five days.

Without a pass, he mixed in with the porters of the Cao Gang and entered the city.

However, although it was easy to enter the city, it was extremely difficult to meet the prefect.

Not to mention that he didn't know Cui Yunsheng, even if he did, it would not be easy to meet the highest administrative chief of a prefecture.

Xie Bai never thought of attracting the attention of Prefect Cui by beating the drum to complain. After all, the prefectural city was Prince Ning's territory, and any rash action might backfire.

He didn't trust anyone in this city except Choi Yun-seong.

In the end, Xie Bai drew inspiration from Xu Yingtao's experience of looking for Jiang Lai Fu, and with the help of a beggar, he found the mansion of Prefect Cui. He also stuffed silver into the doorman's pocket, and only then did he deliver Yan Heng's handwritten letter to Mrs. Cui.

The letter was delivered in the morning, but as it got dark, there was still no response.

Xie Bai waited until midnight, but still no one came to summon him.

Seeing how persistent he was, the concierge felt a little sorry for him and stepped forward to persuade him, "Young man, it's late at night, you should find a place to rest. It's not a good idea to keep waiting here.

My master is on vacation today and is indeed at home, but I have no idea why he doesn't want to see you."

After all, he was just a servant, so how could he dare to ask the master's opinion?

Xie Bai shook his head. Even though his legs felt like they were filled with lead, he still waited firmly at the entrance of Cui's house.

Zheng Wen was afraid that something might happen to him, so he had to stay by his side. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and simply found a sheltered place in an alley and slept in his clothes.

It was not until the next morning that the door of Cui's mansion was hurriedly bolted, and then a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance hurriedly ran out.

He immediately spotted a young man whose clothes were wet by the morning dew not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Are you my Senior Brother Yan's disciple?"

Xie Bai nodded quickly, and bowed solemnly to the visitor: "I pay my respects to Lord Cui."

“No need to be so polite!” Cui Yunsheng helped him up and said apologetically, “It’s my fault, it’s my fault. I made you wait for so long. Come with me into the mansion quickly.”

A moment later, Xie Bai met Yan Yunlan in Cui's mansion.

The two of them stared at each other and said in unison: "Why are you here?"

It turned out that after Yan Yunlan escaped from the provincial capital, she realized that even if she went back to find her father immediately, it would be too late.

Her father has neither an official position nor real power now, so he will have to seek help from others in a roundabout way when the time comes.

Since they needed help anyway, Yan Yunlan decided to give it a try.

She vaguely remembered that her father had told her that the prefect of Nanshao Prefecture was his fellow junior fellow apprentice.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to head north to the provincial capital. She wanted to take a gamble.

If the bet is successful, the time can be shortened by half and Xu Yingtao can be rescued as soon as possible.

If the bet fails, no one will dare to hurt her as long as she reveals her identity.

If it really doesn't work out, she can just snatch the bride away in the future. She can't just watch Xu Yingtao become someone else's concubine.

As a result, her bet was right. When Cui Yunsheng heard that it was her who came to his house, he immediately put down his official duties and went back to his house to receive her in person.

While the uncle and nephew were discussing countermeasures, Xie Bai's letter was also delivered to Mrs. Cui.

However, Mrs. Cui was busy coaxing her children, and when she heard that the letter was sent by a poor boy, she didn't take it seriously at all.

She thought it was just an insignificant letter and threw it on the desk, planning to give it to her husband later.

As a result, later that night, she had completely forgotten about the incident.

It was not until the early morning that the doorman of the Cui Mansion saw that Xie Bai was really pitiful, so he found an opportunity to let the old woman who served Mrs. Cui mention him again.

Only then did Cui Yunsheng see the handwritten letter from his senior brother.

He didn't even have time to get angry and hurriedly picked up Xie Bai and brought him back home.

Xie Bai asked anxiously: "Sister Yunlan, how is my sister-in-law now?"

Yan Yunlan nodded: "Anyway, she can still eat and drink before I leave."

Then, she couldn't help but blame Xie Bai: "You're always holding Yingtao back! Magistrate Wang threatened her with your imperial examination results, and she almost agreed to his request. If you get kidnapped by people from Prince Ning's mansion on the way, she will have to be his concubine even if she doesn't want to!"

Xie Bai was not annoyed at all. In fact, he had already realized that Sister Yunlan was not targeting him. She just simply hated men.
