Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Wu Yiluo sat on the bedside with the decoction and prepared to give it to Xu Mingyue. Xu Mingyue shook her hands wrapped in gauze, took the decoction with a smile, and took a deep breath of the mist before starting to drink it herself.

She wasn't used to being in close contact with people she didn't know well, and the wariness inherent in her bones wasn't so easy to get rid of.

Wu Yiluo stood up and sat on the soft stool beside the bed, smiled and said the kind gift: "My daughter is now in harmony with her husband Qin Se. The family who broke off the engagement was implicated by Prince Rui, and the whole family ended up being destroyed."

"If my little girl had gotten that marriage, she would have ended up with her head on the ground."

"Cause and effect in this world are intertwined. Different ways do not interfere with each other. Even a blessed girl cannot marry into an unlucky one."

Xu Mingyue felt that this was a very good statement, so she smiled and said the second half of the sentence that Wu Yiluo had not said.

"It's not a bad idea to start your own business without meeting a good person."

Wu Yiluo's eyes brightened a little more.

In this world, people come and go alone. If you can find a like-minded person, you can form this marriage.

If not, it is better to live alone.

"But women in this world are trapped in this inner house from birth. It seems that it is extremely difficult for them to find a way to make a living other than getting married."

It is extremely difficult for a woman who is trapped in the house every day to live as a woman with a foundation like Xu Mingyue.

First, there are hundreds of thousands of years of ritual oppression. No one would have the courage to fight against this world unless they were in a desperate situation.

Secondly, this world has a deep prejudice against women. Except for places like Xiulou, there is no place for women.

Xu Mingyue said: "There will be."

Xu Mingyue added: "There will definitely be."

"Knock knock knock."

The knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two, and Wu Yiluo kept the words "it will happen" in his heart.

Smiling softly at Xu Mingyue, Wu Yiluo gently opened the bedroom door a crack.

The one who knelt down in panic was Wu Yiluo's personal maid: "Madam, hundreds of officers and soldiers came outside the manor, saying that someone reported that we were harboring prisoners."

"My servant also heard someone inside say that the emperor is only ten miles away from here."

The maid's peripheral vision looked at the woman lying on the bed through the small crack in the door. She always felt that this was the fugitive that the emperor wanted to track down.

"Good service, I'll be here soon."

Wu Yiluo waved the maid to leave, closed the door with his backhand, helped Xu Mingyue put on her clothes, and then helped Xu Mingyue walk to the cellar.

Xu Mingyue asked: "Is there a sword here?"

Wu Yiluo looked at Xu Mingyue's unhealed wounds and wondered what Xu Mingyue's purpose was.

Xu Mingyue said with a smile: "If you are searched, I can't just arrest you."

Wu Yiluo, who was originally so frightened that he was trembling, started laughing when he heard Xu Mingyue's laughter.

He took out the dagger he had been carrying with him for self-defense for the past two days from his sleeve: "Do you think this is okay?"

Xu Mingyue pulled out the dagger: "Very good."

The bones in her body are indeed only suitable for close attacks.

After placing Xu Mingyue on the wooden stool in the cellar, Wu Yiluo warned: "You will lock the door as soon as the little girl goes out. As long as it is not the little girl who knocks on the door, no one should open the door."

Xu Mingyue stood up holding on to the table and bowed in the direction of Wu Yiluo: "Miss Wu, thank you very much."

Wu Yiluo looked back at Xu Mingyue and smiled softly: "Thank you very much, Princess."

"For many people, thank you very much, Princess."

Many people in the past, present and future.

Wu Yiluo took a group of servants to the main courtyard and faced the leading soldiers with neither humility nor arrogance.

Smiling and handing the tea to others, Wu Yiluo asked, "I wonder what you, the officials, do for coming to my Cao family's village?"

"I heard that a villager reported that you came back a few days ago and brought two seriously injured strangers with you?"

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the only consequence of denying it is to have the manor searched by these soldiers.

"Yes." He said bluntly: "Now those two people are recuperating in the wing. I wonder if they are the people the official is looking for?"

"lead the way."

The leading soldiers appreciated Wu Yiluo's obedience and only led about twenty people to follow Wu Yiluo.

The servant pushed the door open, and Wu Yiluo pointed at the two people lying on the bed: "Look, sir, these are the two people the civilian woman brought back."

Two soldiers looked up at the two men who were seriously injured and unable to move, and asked: "Why did you bring a stranger home?"

"God is blessed with good things. If these two people can escape from the mountain fire, it means God wants to spare them their lives. My husband's family has a habit of doing good deeds, and I, Mrs. Cao, should follow suit."

The leader glanced at Wu Yiluo one more time, and his eyes softened a bit.

There will always be times when people are in trouble, and everyone hopes that someone can save them when they are in trouble.

Leading all the soldiers towards the outside of Zhuangzi, Wu Yiluo asked his servant to stuff a bag of silver into the leader's hand, and stood at the door with a smile as he watched the soldiers leave.

All back figures disappeared before his eyes, and Wu Yiluo entered the house with the help of his maid.

He held the handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his neck, and his originally calm face turned pale.

The maid who had served Wu Yiluo for many years had doubts in her eyes: "Madam, she is not feeling well."

"Well, it's a little warm."

The maid fanned Wu Yiluo with a round fan: "My maid always feels that these two people are not like the two people the lady brought back."

This maid was the only one in the village who had glanced at the two people from a distance in the dark night, and she was completely different from the two people today.

The two mountain people who were burned were arranged by Xie Qingyao before he left, and the purpose was to delay time.

Wu Yiluo looked at the maid with careful eyes: "These are the two of them, do you understand?"

The usually gentle master showed such an expression that he frightened the maid so much that she knelt down and said, "I know that it is these two people."

After sitting in the pavilion and relaxing for two cups of tea, Wu Yiluo just stood up, and the door of the manor that had been closed not long ago was kicked open from the outside. With the imperial guard in front, Xie Chongan walked into Zhuangzi surrounded by thousands of guards.

Sitting in the pavilion where Wu Yiluo had just calmed down, Xie Chongan looked at Wu Yiluo for a while and burst out laughing.

Wu Yiluo's hair stood on end when he heard this smile, and his back trembled as he kowtowed to Xie Chongan.

"My wife, Mrs. Wu, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

With one look, all the servants inside and outside the village were pressed out of the pavilion by the soldiers.

A half-burned night clothes was thrown in front of Wu Yiluo by the young eunuch.

Without speaking, Xie Chongan took the dagger handed over by the young eunuch and placed it on the neck of the maid behind Wu Yiluo.

"Mrs. Cao is quite generous, just three hundred taels of silver."

With his hand loosened, the blade cut through the maid's neck. Xie Chongan asked with a soft smile: "I wonder if I would rather give up the life of your personal maid?"
