My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Chapter 294 How could a woman like her possibly become an official?

However, they were all very curious about where Gao Lan was going, whether she was with Ji Yunshuang, and what she was going to do there...

The news that the Prince's Mansion had sent a carriage to pick up Ji Yunshuang had already spread throughout the village, and the villagers were all curious about the relationship between Ji Yunshuang and the Prince's Mansion.

Xu Maochun was also curious. However, since so many people in the village had gone to the Lu family and hadn't found out anything, he was too embarrassed to ask Gao Lan about it.

She smiled and asked Gao Lan if she had gone on this trip with Ji Yunshuang, and what Ji Yunshuang was doing outside.

Ji Yunshuang didn't tell Gao Lan exactly what she was doing outside, but Gao Lan subconsciously felt that she couldn't reveal her trip to Ningxing Prefecture. She laughed it off and brushed it off.

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Xu Maochun didn't press her further.

After all, the Gao family invited them to be witnesses, so they wouldn't let them help for nothing. In addition to treating them to a meal, the Gao family also prepared a bag of gifts for them as a token of their gratitude when they left.

After Xu Maochun and the others left, Gao Lan told her family and then went home to pack her things.

After Gao Lan left, Gao Ersao pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Paying for the land is one thing, but why do we have to pay rent for the house?"

Actually, I think my younger sister is right. We're the ones looking after the house, so why should we have to pay her?

Gao's mother immediately shot her a glare, "When has your sister ever let you suffer a loss? Look how much you made by borrowing the oxcart from home before! How can you be so short-sighted?"

Thinking about how her sister-in-law had led her family to sell "smart beans" before, Gao Ersao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Madam Gao's gaze swept over her daughters-in-law, and she said sternly, "Besides, think about it, who is your sister working for now? Everyone in the village wants to curry favor with the Lu family, but can they actually do it?"

Your sister is so lucky. As soon as the Lu family came, she became sworn sisters with the Lu family's wife. The two of them call each other sisters and always think of your sister.

But given the Lu family connection, you shouldn't be arguing with your sister over such a small matter. Besides, she's my only daughter. We, the old couple, are still alive and well; it's not your turn to be in charge yet.”

After being reprimanded by Madam Gao, all the daughters-in-law of the Gao family became obedient and dared not say another word.

After Gao Lan returned home, she began packing her things.

She couldn't take many large pieces of luggage with her, so she only packed clothes and other easily portable items like food.

These things are easy to pack up.

She quickly packed her things and, following the directions given by Ji Yunshuang, went to find Chen Wu for help in escorting them to Ningxing Prefecture.

This was something Ji Yunshuang had specifically instructed her to do beforehand.

In these chaotic times, Gao Lan, a woman with several children, is vulnerable to accidents if she has no one to escort her on the road.

Therefore, she specifically instructed Chen Wu to escort Gao Lan's family to Ningxing Prefecture along with Qiu Yuan and Zhong Xu.

When Ji Yunshuang put the account books into the secret room, she also put the antidote for the muscle-softening and bone-soothing powder into the secret room.

When Prince Rui's men went to look for the account book, they naturally brought the antidote back to the palace as well.

After examining the medicine brought back from the secret room, the prince's physician used it to cure Zhong Xu's poisoning.

Now, Zhong Xu is able to move around freely.

After Chen Wu and his companions met Gao Lan, they drove the carriage with her to Shuanghe Village.

Grandma Wang heard the commotion soon and rushed over.

Watching Gao Lan and the others unload things onto the carriage, Old Lady Wang immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"

Gao Lan made a point of going to find Chen Wu early in the morning, hoping to avoid her in-laws and leave as soon as possible to prevent any further trouble.

But she wasn't afraid when she really clashed with her in-laws.

She busily loaded things onto the carriage, succinctly stating, "Moving."

Like an enraged lion, Old Lady Wang shouted, "Where are you moving to? You woman, did you run away with the money?"

Her roar alerted the neighbors in the next house.

Seeing that there were many people, Old Lady Wang immediately sat on the ground and wailed, "You woman, how cruel you are! My Erniu is working hard outside, and you, you actually seduce a man and elope with a wild man. My poor Erniu! He only thinks about you, and he gives you all the rewards he earns outside."

Wang Dazhi straightened his sleeves and said loudly, "You can leave, but the rewards my second brother earned outside belong to the Wang family. You are not allowed to take them with you. You have no right to take them with you."

Gao Lan looked at the two of them and sneered, "In the end, it's just that you can't bear to part with the little reward Erniu earns outside."

We separated from our family long ago. Erniu doesn't even acknowledge you as his elder brother. What right do you have to interfere in my family's affairs?

To seize the reward sent by the officials, you even went so far as to smear me. When Erniu returns, I'm going to give him a good talking to about how you treated us mother and children while he was away.”

"You've been having an affair and you still think you're right?" Old Mrs. Wang shouted. "Fellow villagers, come and see for yourselves what kind of things my good daughter-in-law has been doing!"

After carefully examining Chen Wu and his group, one of the villagers who had come to watch the commotion suddenly said, "Erniu's mother, you must be mistaken. Those two young men look familiar to me, somewhat like the two young men from the Lu family before?"

Zhong Xu gave the woman a thumbs up and said, "Auntie, you have good taste. We were all sent to the Lu family by General Wei. Now we serve under Lieutenant General Ji. This time, we are also on the orders of the Lieutenant General to escort the Wang family's lady."

Many villagers were confused by Zhong Xu's words and couldn't understand what he meant.

Didn't they say they were to be sent to the Lu family as guards? Why are they now serving that General Ji?

Then they came to escort Wang Erniu's wife?

After a long while, someone tentatively asked, "Young man, the military officer you serve, what's his name? Could he be Lu Dalang's wife?"

Zhong Xu said proudly, "Exactly!"

The villager who spoke still didn't believe it and asked again, "Is she Lu Dalang's wife? How did she become an official? Isn't she a woman?"

"What's wrong with women? We brigade commanders are more capable than men. Isn't it only natural for us to be officials?"

Zhong Xu spoke with a hint of displeasure, looking at the woman who had spoken and saying, "Auntie, you're a woman yourself, how can you look down on women?"

"No, no, no!" the woman waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't look down on women, I just didn't expect, I didn't expect Dalang's wife to be so amazing!"

Many villagers nearby, like the woman, said that they did not look down on women, they just hadn't expected it.

Some clever people even spoke well of Ji Yunshuang.

Only Old Lady Wang seemed to have suffered a great shock, and said in a shrill voice, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. How could a woman become an official?"
