The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

"What happened? Why didn't the carriage move?"

Everyone in the car noticed something was wrong and started to panic.

Tao Luoyao quickly threw herself into Shu Xin's arms, looking nervous.

"Don't be afraid, Luoyao. It's okay."

Shu Xin comforted Tao Luoyao softly and patted her on the back.

Liang Xiuyuan was about to lift the curtain to see what was going on, but she saw Tao Zhiyi getting off the carriage and running over.

"The South Gate was opened ahead of time, and many refugees are rushing in now. It looks like we can no longer leave through the South Gate."

Tao Zhiyi quickly informed everyone of the news coming from the front.

"What? Then we..."

Liang Xiuyuan couldn't help but shout.

Her voice was sharp, and Tao Luoyao couldn't help but shiver.

The child lost his mother and had a hard time traveling. He was also sick before and almost died.

Fortunately, there were various modern Western medicines in the comfortable space, which saved the person.

But this made her somewhat timid and easily frightened.

Originally, she had always followed Mrs. Tao or Old Madam Tao.

But this time there were only four carriages, so everyone had to squeeze in.

There were already six people in the carriage of Mrs. Tao and Old Madam Tao.

The carriage of her biological father Tao Zhiyi was packed with men, otherwise Old Master Tao would not have been arranged to ride in the carriage of the Tao family.

Tao Luoyao was arranged to stay here with Shuxin.

"Daddy..."

Tao Luoyao couldn't help but call out Tao Zhiyi and reached out for him to hug her.

Tao Zhiyi had no choice but to carry Tao Luoyao over.

Shu Xin glanced at Liang Xiuyuan coldly, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Liang Xiuyuan pouted in dissatisfaction and turned her face away.

"Then second brother, what should we do now? What does Madam Xiao have planned?"

Shu Xin frowned and asked Tao Zhiyi.

"I don't know yet, shall I go and ask?"

Shuxin nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you, brother, to make the trip."

Tao Zhiyi nodded, handed Tao Luoyao to Shuxin, and then ran away quickly.

Now that refugees have entered the city, it is even more inconvenient for unmarried girls like Shuxin and others to walk around freely.

However, Shu Xin had some vague guesses about Madam Xiao's plan.

Now that their plans have been suddenly disrupted, they must come up with a solution quickly.

The best way is to change the route to the north gate.

As for why not go back to the previous yard to take shelter temporarily, that is definitely not possible.

Their several carriages were too conspicuous. If they went back now, they would definitely be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. If refugees came in, they would definitely be the first to be attacked.

Even though Xiao Beiwang is very skilled, it would be pretty good with the addition of Zhao Qing.

But there are too many refugees, and they will definitely find it difficult to resist.

The only option now was to change the route during the chaos, rush over before the north gate received the news, and take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city.

Soon, Tao Zhiyi came back.

"Madam Xiao said that we should change our route to the north city gate and leave from there."

He breathlessly told the news.

Shu Xin nodded in understanding, not surprised at all.

She then asked Yu Fang to get the carriage and prepare to continue her journey.

Liang Xiuyuan looked terrified and clearly a little unsure.

"Why should we go to the North Gate? I think we should go back to the house in Shijing Lane first, avoid those refugees, and then leave the city in two days."

The house in Shijing Lane was where they rented before.

Liang Xiuyuan finished speaking and looked at Xiao Beiyuan.

She hoped that Xiao Beiyuan had the same idea as her, but Xiao Beiyuan lowered his head and no one knew what he was thinking.

Shu Xin ignored her. The two of them were worried about Xiao Beiwang, Zhao Qing, Qian San and Wu Zhiyong.

The four of them left after lunch.

Xiao Beiwang and Zhao Qing went to investigate the situation at the South City Gate, while Qian San and Wu Zhiyong went to find County Magistrate Xu.

They wanted to reveal their identities so that if Du Changchun brought people into the city, he would know where they went.

But they had been gone for a while and had not returned yet. I guess they went to the South City Gate to wait for them.

But now the South Gate has fallen, and a large number of refugees are rushing in.

Shu Xin was worried that Qian San and Wu Zhiyong would be surrounded.

Xiao Beiwang and Zhao Qing are fine, after all, they are both quite skilled.

But An Yu and his men were still staring at Xiao Beiwang, afraid that they would take action at this time.

By that time, Xiao Beiwang will be unable to take care of himself and will not be able to escape.

Therefore, she had no mood to pay attention to Liang Xiuyuan.

"Miss Liang San, you'd better shut up. Don't you see what's going on now?"

Tao Miaomiao taunted Liang Xiuyuan.

Liang Xiuyuan suddenly became angry.

The anger from being bullied by the Tao sisters just now rose up again.

“Stop the car. I want to see Madam Xiao.”

She thought that she had to persuade the old lady to take everyone back to Shijing Lane, at least to wait for Xiao Beiwang to come back.

Otherwise, how dangerous would it be for these people, old and young?

Her life was precious, and she didn't want to take risks with these people.

Shu Xin was really annoyed with Liang Xiuyuan.

"This is Madam Xiao's decision. If you have any opinions, keep them to yourself!"

"Tao Shuxin, what's your attitude? I just want to kindly remind everyone not to take risks at this time."

Liang Xiuyuan's face turned red with anger, and she defended herself angrily.

"You are afraid that your life will be in danger!"

Tao Miaomiao rolled her eyes at her and ignored the instructions that Tao always gave her.

"you……"

Liang Xiuyuan's mood was exposed at once, and she choked up for a moment.

"Sister Liang, the South City Gate has been opened now. The city is no longer safe. If we continue to stay in the city, we don't know when we can leave, and our safety cannot be guaranteed. So, it is better to try our best to leave the city during the chaos."

Xiao Beiyuan hurriedly grabbed Liang Xiuyuan and explained in detail.

After she finished speaking, Shu Xin looked at her in surprise, her eyes full of admiration.

This concubine's daughter of the Xiao family is indeed smart and knowledgeable.

I think it’s because the Xiao family doesn’t have many descendants, so even a concubine’s daughter is brought up like a legitimate daughter.

The newly raised Xiao Beiyuan was not as cowardly as other concubines' daughters. Instead, she was intelligent, insightful and graceful.

If she were a man, she would definitely be able to help each other with Xiao Beiwang and support the Xiao family without any problem.

Xiao Beiyuan felt Shu Xin's gaze and felt a little embarrassed.

Tao Miaomiao finally realized what was going on!

She only wanted to listen to Madam Xiao, and actually didn't quite understand this approach.

But now after hearing what Sister Xiao said, she understood.

Tao Miaomiao looked at her elder sister and saw that she understood everything. She then looked at Xiao Beiyuan with surprise and admiration.

Tao Miaomiao pouted.

It seems that the eldest sister also understood the trick, leaving her confused.

"So that's how it is. Thank you Miss Xiao for clearing up our confusion."

Yu Fang, who was driving the car in front, smiled and added.

When Tao Miaomiao saw this, she felt relieved immediately.

Fortunately, there is another person here who is just like me.

She looked at Yu Fang with gratitude.

Shu Xin saw Tao Miaomiao's reaction and suddenly found it a little funny.

The reason why she didn't explain the reason in detail was that she didn't want to talk much with Liang Xiuyuan, and also to make Tao Miaomiao and Yu Fang more alert and think more about these political intrigues themselves.

After all, the Tao family will return to Beijing sooner or later.

When you step into that circle, you won’t understand anything and will become a laughing stock.
