The salary of a county magistrate is not high to begin with, so it is easy to imagine where all this money came from.

It's nothing more than squeezing the people's money.

It’s a good thing that such a person was discovered, otherwise I don’t know how many people would have been harmed by him.

His gambling house alone caused many people to lose their homes.

In his gambling house, people could borrow money, but if they couldn't come up with the money, they would have to use their family members as collateral.

Those who had wives and daughters at home would go to the brothel under his name.

He also did a lot of things like forcing women of good character into prostitution.

If a man does not have a daughter, he will give his son to him to do work for him.

Such things are everywhere.

Only after Zhou Jingxuan left did He Yaozhi dare to straighten his back.

As he watched the carriage disappear, he felt a little more relaxed.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. No wonder everyone was afraid of the prince. It was true when he saw him today.

Even when he was speaking casually, he felt an invisible pressure.

He couldn't help but break out in a sweat, and even his palms were a little wet.

Fortunately, the prince did not blame him for this incident, otherwise he would be in trouble.

When He Yaozhi saw that he could no longer see the shadow of the carriage, he put his hands behind his back and strode away, regaining some of the dignity of an official.

Xu Chao also knew the news that He Yaozhi sent Zhou Jingxuan and the others away.

He narrowed his eyes and couldn't help feeling scared. These people were indeed not ordinary people.

Fortunately, Xu Ning did not offend them at the beginning.

Otherwise, these people would crush the Xu family like crushing an ant.

Take the fake county magistrate for example. It was difficult for the Xu family to deal with him, but the man surnamed Zhou easily took care of him.

At this moment, Xu Chao, like Xu Ning before him, felt that it was the blessing of his ancestors.

But thinking of Xu Ning, Xu Chao's eyes darkened. This son was probably useless.

It is common for men to be lustful.

But it is not common to be led by a woman. Such a person can only be described as stupid.

If the Xu family's business is left to such a person in the future, I'm afraid there will be no future.

Xu Chao thought about his other children, and then thought about Xu Yan.

At this moment, he actually felt that his daughter was much better than his son Xu Ning.

Xu Ning has his merits, but being the head of the family doesn’t just need his kindness.

Sometimes being too kind can cost you your life.

Just like the original Lord Xue mentioned by the official, he saved this fake Lord with kindness, but in the end he lost his life and his identity was claimed by someone else.

Xu Chao thought about it, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind: as long as she has the ability, what does it matter if she is a woman?

The carriage was shaking, and Jiang Si leaned on it with a letter in her hand.

It was sent back by Yinyin and Anyi.

They have been in southern Xinjiang for quite some time.

This is the first time that An Yi and his men have sent back a message.

There were two letters in total, one was written by Yinyin and the other was written by Anyi.

Yinyin's writing was more cheerful. She said that her mother had accepted An Yi and agreed to let her settle down in Central Plains with An Yi.

The letter described the entire process in detail, and basically it said that Yin Yin's mother disagreed at first, and even wanted to turn An Yi into a mother body for her to raise the Gu.

Yinyin said in the letter. When An Yi heard this, his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

She added a line of small words on the letter: He is such a loser. He is not afraid of getting hurt or dying, but he is afraid of those bugs. Humph.

When Jiang Si saw this, a smile appeared on her lips.

She thought of what she had seen on the Internet in her previous life: some tall and strong men were afraid of tiny cockroaches.

Yinyin said that in the end she was the one who said that she was pregnant with An Yi's child, and if her mother didn't agree, she would just have to wait for two deaths.

Finally, Yin Yin's mother compromised.

Yinyin said she would be back in a few months.

They had already agreed that if her mother didn't want to come to Central Plains, they would choose some time every year to go back and spend time with her mother.

This letter ends here.

The second letter was from An Yi.

The carriage was padded with thick cushions. Zhou Jingxuan hugged Jiang Si and leaned on the soft pillow while reading An Yi's letter.

As soon as I opened the letter, I saw the words written on it: Seeing your words is like seeing me.

Then it was: Master, I feel so miserable.

An Yi wrote several pages about what happened in the village and the suffering he endured there.

It's like a child away from home complaining to his elders.

Zhou Jingxuan once told Jiang Si about An Yi's life story.

He is a miserable child.

Some of the pages were even wrinkled and had unknown marks on them.

Like a watermark.

On the following page, the writing was noticeably faster.

He said: Master, I have already got the approval of my mother-in-law, but she insisted on giving me a few poisonous insects.

He said: I was really scared, my legs were shaking, and I knelt down in front of my mother-in-law.

It says at the end: My mother-in-law was very pleased and thought I was grateful to her, but in fact I was scared!

When they saw this, Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan couldn't help but smile.

At the end of the letter, he wrote happily: When Yinyin and I come back, you must help me arrange the wedding! I have lost my parents, and in my heart you are my brother!

The letter ended here, with only a line of small words added at the very end: Remember, the contents of this letter cannot be passed on to others, please!

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan's eyes were filled with smiles.

It’s great that everyone around me has a happy ending.

The carriage suddenly shook, and Jiang Si's body shook with it, and then she was held in Zhou Jingxuan's arms.

Jiang Si was about to speak, but suddenly she felt her stomach churning, and then she covered her mouth and began to dry heave.

It took a long while before Jiang Si's face looked extremely ugly. She frowned slightly and let Zhou Jingxuan wipe the water stains from the corners of her mouth.

Then he leaned sickly in Zhou Jingxuan's arms: "I don't know what's wrong with me recently, I always feel sleepy and want to sleep."

“Sometimes I still feel sick to my stomach.”

"But I know very well that there is nothing wrong with my body."

As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, she frowned and felt a little uncomfortable again.

Zhou Jingxuan felt a little distressed when he saw her like this, and was about to wait until the next resting place to find a doctor to check on her.

But he suddenly caught a sharp eye to what Jiang Si had just said. His pupils widened instantly, and his voice trembled a little: "Ah Si, tell me your symptoms again."

Jiang Si was a little puzzled and told her what made her uncomfortable.

Zhou Jingxuan's fingertips were trembling, and he quickly said to the outside: "Go to the nearest clinic!"

Jiang Si looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Jingxuan suppressed the joy in his heart and gently held her hand: "I think you might be pregnant!"

"I once heard Jiang Huaihe say that if a woman is pregnant, she will have symptoms like this!"

"Ah Si, I might be a father!"
