Taking space to escape famine, Sister Wan killed everyone along the way

The county magistrate's wife shuddered at her husband's words, but when she thought of the difference between the Crown Prince's wife and a merchant's second wife, desire replaced her fear.

"Master, think about it, Crown Prince Consort, in front of the Zhenbei Palace, the Wan Mansion is nothing, why can't you figure it out?

In this border area, which daughter can be as outstanding as our daughter? The famous ladies in the capital are good, but the emperor does not allow the Prince of Zhenbei and others to return to the capital. No matter how good the girls are, it is not the prince's turn to marry them.

The prince is now seventeen years old, which is a good age for marriage. He can only look for a princess consort here. So, tell me, besides our daughter, who else can he find?

Could it be that he really wanted to find a peasant girl who had escaped famine? No matter how talented that peasant girl was, she was still a peasant, and her skills were only some low-class ones. To put it bluntly, she was just a businessman.

Besides, in this world, it is said that a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent. It is not a good thing for a woman to be very capable. It is inappropriate for a daughter-in-law of a royal family to be exposed to the public.

Besides, she's not good at any of the arts, so how could the prince be interested in such a daughter? But our daughter is different. Not only is she beautiful, but her family background is also the best compared to others. She is proficient in all of them. I have made her familiar with the "Nu Jie" (female code of conduct) since she was a child, and I guarantee that she will be a good royal daughter-in-law!"

"Master, if our daughter becomes the Crown Prince's Consort, it will also be beneficial to our family, right?"

The county magistrate's wife put away her usual strong side, slowly stood up, and spoke gently and tenderly to the county magistrate.

When she said these words, County Magistrate Hou said nothing. Seeing him like this, the County Magistrate's wife thought that the County Magistrate had been persuaded by her. She became more and more excited and even began to fantasize about the wonderful life after becoming the prince's wife's wife.

"Think about it, if you become the prince's father-in-law, the King of Zhenbei will have to treat you as an equal. You won't have to kneel when you meet someone, and other officials will have to greet you. Your immediate superior, the prefect Ma who always finds fault with you, will he still dare to do that after you become the prince's father-in-law?

I'm afraid he'll have to call you respectfully when he sees you, and invite you to sit at the table. Then maybe you'll even have to take his seat."

Magistrate Ma only has two sons and no daughter, so the county magistrate's wife dared to think like this. Otherwise, based on her status, it would never be her turn.

"Have you said enough?" County Magistrate Hou suppressed his anger and looked down at his complacent wife, the veins on his brow couldn't help but jump.

The county magistrate's wife finally realized that her master was wrong. It turned out that all she said had not touched the master's heart at all. On the contrary, she had revealed all her secrets.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Could it be that what I said is wrong?" The county magistrate's wife trembled a little, fearing that she would hear words from her master that she didn't want to hear.

But that's how people are, what you fear often comes true.

"Do you think what you said is right?" County Magistrate Hou gritted his teeth. He wanted to slap this stupid woman hard. He had worked diligently for decades and had a clear conscience both towards the people and himself, but he had done a terrible job as a housekeeper.

"Xing Lijuan, I'm telling you, you'd better retract this unrealistic idea as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something serious happens, don't blame me for not sharing the good and bad times with you!"

County Magistrate Hou's patience has reached its limit. He has never said a harsh word to her in his entire life, but now, he wants to divorce her!

"Master, master, please don't scare me. What is going on?" The county magistrate's wife was proud and arrogant, but she was not completely stupid. When she heard her master say this, she also sensed something strange.

County Magistrate Hou sneered, "Scare you? Do you think the prince personally ordered me to find a husband for your daughter? Don't bother him for no reason, and don't bother Miss Qin for no reason. If it happens again, he can't guarantee that your daughter won't lose any limbs!

If you think that under such circumstances, your precious daughter can still marry the prince, then continue to dream.

You still look down on the Wan family. You are not the legitimate son of the Wan family. If you are a little lustful, your daughter can't even find a family like this!

Your daughter's arrogant and domineering personality is known to everyone here. Do you think she can find a good family nearby? If the Wan family didn't understand the situation, and she wasn't pretty, it would be difficult for her to find a husband in the future!

I advise you to persuade her as soon as possible, let her control her temper, marry into the Wan family peacefully, and from now on control her temper, be filial to her parents-in-law, serve her husband well, and treat her ex-husband's children well. The Wan family will not treat her unfairly!

Otherwise... humph!"

This time, County Magistrate Hou did not stay any longer, and the County Magistrate's wife was completely dumbfounded. She never thought that the order was given by the Crown Prince.

But didn’t my daughter say that the prince is friendly to her?

This matter concerns the lives of their entire family. Even if the county magistrate's wife wants to be the prince's mother-in-law, she will not be so foolish as to joke about the lives of her family members.

She walked to the door angrily, and said in a serious tone, "Lili, tell me, is it true that the prince has feelings for you?"

Hou Lili listened to the whole thing in the room and was already furious. She didn't believe her father at all when he said it was the prince who gave the order.

Hearing her mother's questioning tone, her temper flared up, "Mom, I'm your daughter, don't you believe me?"

"My dear daughter, how could I not believe you? But this matter is of great importance, and your father would not make such a joke. Tell me honestly, how did you know that the prince has feelings for you?" The county magistrate's wife lost her patience with her daughter for the first time. This matter involved the lives of their entire family, and yet this girl was still throwing a tantrum at them.

Hou Lili was still angry and said in a bad tone, "Mom, I have nothing to say. It's bad enough that Dad looks down on me, but even you don't trust me. I might as well die~" As she said this, she actually started to seek death.

The county magistrate's wife was completely enraged by her actions. "Hou Lili, I'm not discussing this with you. This matter concerns the lives of our family. I hope you can tell me the truth. If you continue like this, then when you join the Wan Mansion in the future, whether you live or die, it will have nothing to do with me and your father."

Hou Lili, who was pretending to be suicidal, hoped that her mother would open the door to comfort her, and persuade her father to give up the idea of letting her marry into the Wan Mansion. She wanted to be the prince's consort, and she didn't want to be the second wife of an old man!

But now her mother actually spoke to her in a hasty and serious tone. She, who had not taken it seriously at first, became scared. She was really afraid that her parents would not recognize her, and that no matter where she went, she would never be treated like this again.
