A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Xia Tian patted Shen Nian in a reproachful manner, and Shen Nian took Xia Tian's hand and went to the dining table to eat.

After they had breakfast, they went to the old lady's yard to pay their respects.

Although it was just a formality, she still prepared gifts for everyone.

The old lady, Mrs. Liu, the second lady and others all prepared gifts, and Xia Tian accepted them with a smile.

Marquis Wu'an was the most direct. He directly gave a pawnshop under his name to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian was a little surprised when he took it. This father-in-law was so generous.

When Liu saw that Marquis Wu'an gave the most profitable pawnshop to Shen Nian and his wife, her face darkened a little, but she couldn't say anything in front of so many people, so she winked at Shen Ke who was standing beside her.

Shen Ke was already unhappy when he saw his father so easily give the shop to his eldest brother and his wife. When he saw Liu's hint, he couldn't help but say, "Dad, we brothers all have a share in your shop. You can't be so partial to my eldest brother!"

Wu Anhou was originally in a good mood, but upon hearing Shen Ke's words, his face suddenly darkened. "Eighty percent of this mansion belongs to your eldest brother, and the rest belongs to you brothers."

Shen Ke was stunned when he heard this. All these belonged to his elder brother. What else could he get?

Marquis Wu'an was not wrong. This is how the family was distributed. The eldest son inherited most of the property and established the family, while the other brothers divided the remaining property.

This is why Liu wanted to get rid of Shen Nian again and again.

If Shen Nian died, her son Shen Ke would naturally be the heir to the Wu'an Marquisate. Not only would he be able to inherit the title, but the entire Wu'an Marquisate would also belong to her son in the future.

Shen Ke was not convinced, "Dad, I am also your biological son, you can't be so partial!"

"Humph, partiality? If you had your big brother's ability, I'd be partial to you too! You don't make progress every day, and you're just embarrassing me."

Marquis Wu'an was furious again when he thought of Shen Ke's failure in the imperial examination.

Seeing that his father was really angry, Shen Ke opened his mouth several times but didn't dare to say anything.

Liu also hurriedly stroked his hair, "My Lord, Ke'er is still young and doesn't understand things. Don't let him make you sick. Calm down!"

"Hmph!" Marquis Wu'an snorted and said nothing more.

Liu finally understood that Marquis Wu'an was becoming more and more optimistic about Shen Nian, which was not a good thing for her and her son.

In the past, she could still persuade him, but now she found that Marquis Wu'an was becoming less and less patient with her and her son.

Liu gritted her teeth, and the desire to get rid of Shen Nian and Xia Tian became stronger.

Xia Tian looked at Liu's unpredictable face and knew that she must be planning something bad again.

It seems that she and Shen Nian need to be more careful in the future!

After the crowd here dispersed, Xia Tian took the prepared food, took Ning Xue and followed Shen Nian to the villa outside the city.

They had agreed to visit Mu Yang's grave today, so Mu Feng, Muchen and Mu Lin also came along.

Mu Lin, Mu Yang, Mu Feng and Muchen were once the best brothers. They followed Shen Nian since they were young. Others called Shen Nian "Prince", but they always called him "Master".

The closeness of the relationship can be seen from this name.

But Mu Yang died to save his master. Fortunately, his master survived and their lives finally had a purpose.

Mu Yang’s sacrifice was not in vain.

Mu Yang's grave is on the mountain within the villa. Someone has always taken care of it, so the area around the grave is clean and there is not a trace of weeds.

A few people went to the grave, talked with Mu Yang, and then slowly returned to the villa.

Xia Tian looked up, looked at Shen Nian with a deep gaze, and gently took his hand.

Feeling the warmth, Shen Nian turned around and saw Xia Tian's worried eyes. He smiled imperceptibly and said, "It's okay!"

Xia Tian smiled, and the two of them walked down the mountain hand in hand.

In the evening, we had dinner at the villa before heading back to the city.

In the evening, it was already getting dark. Mu Feng was driving the carriage, while Mu Lin and Muchen were escorting him on horseback.

When passing through a forest, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came, and Mu Lin shouted, "There's an assassin!"

Before he could finish his words, an arrow hit the outside of the carriage with a "bang". Fortunately, Shen Nian's carriage had been specially treated, and the arrow feathers could not cause any damage, so it was relatively safe inside the carriage.

With Mu Lin's shout, countless arrows shot towards them. Shen Nian hugged Xia Tian, his face as gloomy as water.

Mu Feng controlled the horse and continued to drive the carriage to avoid the arrows. He had already drawn the sword in his hand and was protecting the horse from the arrows on both sides to prevent them from hurting the horse.

At this time, the enemy was in the dark, while they were in the light. Seeing that there were quite a few people coming, Shen Nian ordered them to turn around and return to the villa first.

This place is closer to Biezhuang.

Seeing that there were only a few of them, the assassins decided to turn back, so they appeared one after another, blocked their way, and went forward to fight.

Everyone who came was dressed in black and covered their faces with black scarves, so they couldn't be seen clearly.

Xia Tian nervously held Shen Nian's hand in the carriage, not knowing what was going on outside. She only heard the clanging sound of swords clashing, accompanied by people's low shouts from time to time, which made her heart jump.

I really didn't check the almanac before going out today. Who sent these people to assassinate them?

She was not sure whether it was Liu at the moment, because they had made a sudden decision to go out today, and Liu was not aware of it. Besides, even if she knew about it when she went out, it would take time to prepare for the assassination. It couldn't be so fast, right?

However, the Liu family cannot be ruled out. After all, they are the only ones who can send people to assassinate them.

After waiting for a while, the fight outside became more intense. Mu Feng had stopped the carriage because there were more than a dozen people coming, and each of them had strong martial arts skills. They were temporarily surrounded.

Xia Tian saw Ningxue huddled in the corner, and quickly reached out to pull her over and hold her hand.

Let go of Shen Nian, "Brother Shen, go out and help. I'm fine in the carriage, don't worry."

Shen Nian had wanted to go out and help for a long time, but he was afraid that they would hurt Xia Tian, so he stayed there the whole time.

At this time, half of the assassins outside had been knocked down by Mu Lin and the other two, and there were still seven or eight left.

Shen Nian asked them to hide and he came out to help.

Xia Tian worriedly pulled Shen Nian's sleeve and said, "Brother Shen, be careful!"

"Yeah." Shen Nian nodded and got out of the carriage.

Xia Tian knew that Shen Nian's martial arts skills were not weak, but he was still worried and did not dare to look out the window. He could only hide in the carriage and listen to the sounds.

Holding the dagger he had taken out from the secret compartment of the carriage, he and Ningxue sat on either side of the carriage door, staring closely.

I was afraid that an assassin might get on the carriage.

Just as he thought, an assassin really came true. While Shen Nian and the others were not paying attention, he jumped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain with a sword and stabbed them. Xia Tian raised his dagger to block the moment the curtain was lifted, stretched out his foot, and kicked the man down.

Mu Feng rushed over after hearing the sound. Seeing Xia Tian’s actions, he quickly stepped forward and killed the assassin with a sword before giving Xia Tian a thumbs up!

When Shen Nian looked back, he was almost hit by an assassin, but Mu Lin blocked him. The others quickly dealt with the remaining assassins. They wanted to keep one alive for questioning, but the assassin committed suicide before they could ask him any more questions.

Shen Nian hurried over and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xia Tian shook his head.

Shen Nian got on the carriage and ordered, "Return to the city!"
