Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

"By the way, Wan'er, I asked my cousin to find two guards for you. They will be here in the next few days. You can set the salary. They are both skilled. One of them even brought a family. They are all capable. You can place them in the front yard to watch over the house."

"These are my cousin's former guards. I'm sending them to protect you first. In the future, you have to ask them to accompany you when I go out without you."

Xiao Wan was very surprised after hearing this, as she happened to be short of manpower.

She planned to go to the city tomorrow and ask Duan Hongyi to find a shop to open. It was also hard for Old Man Xiao to send Xiao Zhengping every day. It would be better to ask Old Man Xiao and Liu to manage the workshop, and have the guards send her and her brother to the town or city every day.

This is indeed the advantage of having a boyfriend. It’s so happy.

"You don't need to trouble Boss Duan to find guards for you in the future." Zhao Mingyuan said a little awkwardly.

"Haha, Brother Mingyuan, are you jealous?" Xiao Wan wanted to tease Zhao Mingyuan.

"Well, no. Boss Duan has a family. It's not good to always trouble him." Zhao Mingyuan said unnaturally.

"Okay, I get it. It's just business dealings. By the way, Uncle Zhao hasn't come back yet from selling furs?" Xiao Wan seemed to have not seen Zhao Wu for a long time.

"My father's boss sent him out, so he couldn't tell anyone else. He could only say that he was selling furs," Zhao Mingyuan explained.

Xiao Wan was smart enough to understand that although the Zhao family was demoted, they still had a backup plan and did not really become hunters.

She nodded obediently. Zhao Mingyuan rubbed the girl's hair. Well, her hair quality was good. It was much better than when I first met her.

After Xiao Wan returned home, the family sat together and Xiao Wan talked about this matter. Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu both agreed, but Xiao Zhen'er was a little hesitant.

It’s my first time going to the county government office. I wonder if it will bring bad reputation to my family.

Xiao Wan explained to Xiao Zhen'er, "Sister, can't you see clearly? The Zheng family is just blood-sucking leeches. We've come back this time, but when they come to their senses, they'll probably come back again tomorrow. By then, won't everyone know about it? Instead of getting entangled with them, it's better to take the initiative and sever ties with them. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhen'er also understood the character of those people. They would definitely not let it go. So, she made up her mind to do as Wan'er said.

Xiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Zhener smiled and patted her sister's head: "Girl, you are getting smarter as you grow up. You are no longer like before, following your sister around and saying very little."

Xiao Wan shuddered. Oh, forget it, just give up. She still looks like Xiao Wan anyway.

Liu looked at the two sisters with a smile. Seeing the eldest daughter talking and laughing, she felt relieved.

Xiao Zhengping was picked up by his father Xiao. When he saw his elder sister coming back, he happily threw himself into Xiao Zhener's arms.

Before Xiao Zhen'er got married, she took care of her younger siblings all day long. Xiao Zhengping still has very good memories of his eldest sister. Xiao Zhen'er also hugged her younger brother. When she learned that her younger brother could go to school, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.

Xiao Zhengping vowed to his sister, "Sister, from now on, when I come back from school every day, I will teach you and Yu'er how to read."

Xiao Zhen'er nodded and agreed. She was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. After experiencing this marriage and with the comfort and company of her family, she felt a lot more relaxed.

After dinner, Doctor Zhang came over to take Xiao Zhener's pulse. He kept his hand on Xiao Zhener's wrist through the handkerchief for a long time. The Xiao family members held their breath, fearing that they would say something bad.

After a while, Divine Doctor Zhang spoke up, "Miss Xiao's body is completely overworked. She's been malnourished for years, not eating enough and drinking enough. Plus, she had a miscarriage, so she hasn't taken good care of herself. Her Qi and blood are deficient. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to conceive in the future."

Doctor Zhang looked at the girl with sympathy. He had heard about Xiao Zhener's husband's family. This girl was gentle, beautiful and generous. How could she meet a scum like the Zheng family?

The Xiao family became nervous when they heard this and asked Doctor Zhang how to treat the patient.

Xiao Zhen'er looked at her family members soothingly. Doctor Zhang sighed that what a good girl she was, it was a pity that someone didn't cherish her.

So he continued, "I'll prescribe some tonic medicine for you to slowly recuperate. You can take some daily supplements, like donkey-hide gelatin and angelica root, and just recuperate for now."

Xiao Zhen'er didn't care whether it would affect her fertility. She would never get married again anyway. If it really affected her younger brothers and sisters' marriages in the future, she would just cut her hair and become a nun.

The Xiao family thanked Doctor Zhang, and Old Man Xiao went to get the medicine with the prescription.

Early the next morning, Zhao Mingyuan came and went into the city to the county government office with the Xiao family. He told Xiao Wan that Fu Mingxuan was already waiting there.

Speaking of this, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but frown. After listening to Xiao Wan's plan last night, his cousin brought Ying Mo into the city overnight, saying that he wanted to meet Zhao Wenqing and investigate this matter by the way. He looked a little anxious.

As for the witness, it was the human trafficker. Fu Mingxuan sent Ying Mo to find out that the so-called human trafficker was actually the madam and pimp from the brothel Yicuilou.

Ying Mo found Yicuilou overnight and after some threats, the madam and the pimp finally told the truth.

It turned out that the two men had signed a contract with Zhou, the old woman of the Zheng family, to sell Xiao Zhen'er to Yicuilou for twenty taels of silver. Zhou also received a deposit of ten taels and sent someone to kidnap Xiao Zhen'er when she was not paying attention.

Ying Mo was furious after hearing this. How dare someone buy, sell, or kidnap decent women in broad daylight?

The madam and the pimp were so scared that they shrank their necks. Ying Mo asked them to come out of court to testify and incriminate the Zheng family. The two dared not disobey.

This young man's skills made a group of thugs in the brothel defeated by him. He even threatened to set fire to his own brothel. What should the brothel do? The madam complained bitterly.

The two men quickly agreed, and only asked the young man to show mercy and let them go.

The madam also has a backer, but the backer is the former county magistrate, now it is Zhao Wenqing, and she has not yet met him or made arrangements with him.
