"How is this possible, isn't that little Xiaohou brave and good at fighting, and has made countless meritorious contributions?"

"What if you have the title of God of War, do you know what Xiao Xiaohou looks like?"

"What does it look like? Is it extremely ugly? ”

Everyone shook their heads together.

"What, what the hell is ugly, and can you still be called like this?"

"I just don't know, that's why it's like this!"

"Don't know?"

"Yes, it is rumored that Xiao Xiaohou experienced a life-and-death battle on the battlefield when he was a teenager, and it was at that time that he disfigured his appearance, and he has been showing people with a mask since then."

"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, think about it...... By the way, it reminds me of the old news from last year......"

"What's the old news?"

"It's the "corpse" of Princess Nianyun's ex-husband, no, to be exact, it's the corpse of another soldier, I can't see the ruined appearance when I hear it, which shows how cruel the battlefield is! ”

"Listening to the example you gave, it really reveals some shortcomings......

"Haha, you say, Chen Shaoan knows that Princess Nianyun is married to a real hero against Fanbang, will he be ashamed?"

"He's already embarrassed, so he has to wait until today?"

As soon as Chen Shao'an was mentioned, a new round of ridicule began in the crowd.

At this time, the news was flying all over the city, but it had not yet been transmitted back to the withered Chen Mansion.

The sick old lady lay on the bed, calling for the little girl who was waiting outside.

"Pearl, Pearl......"

The little girl named Zhu'er lazily came to the door of the old lady with the medicine, "Old lady, don't call it, I'm not going to get the medicine for you!" ”

The old lady struggled to get up from the bed and "help me up......"

The little girl was impatient and came over to help her and waited for her to drink medicine.

The old lady drank the medicine and asked, "Where is Mother Wen?" ”

"Mother Wen went out to buy ......"

The old lady asked again, "Where are the old man and the second master?" ”

"Old lady," the little girl said impatiently, "the slave and maid have to do a lot of things alone, how will you know where the eldest and second masters have gone?" ”

"Do you want the slave to call the third master to you?"

"No, no," the old lady shook her head, "don't delay Shaoting's study." ”

In her heart, there is always an expectation for her third son.

endure it for another two years, and when Shaoting wins the imperial examination in one fell swoop, the Chen family will be fine.

"Old lady, you see, it is difficult for our house to be like this, but there are still two ...... in the southwest courtyard who have to deliver food every day."

The little girl put away the bowl and complained, "I have too much work to do." ”

"Zhu'er, thank you for your hard work!" There was only such a girl doing rough work left in the house, and the old lady was a little polite to her.

No way, you're welcome, this girl will run away.

Zhu'er ignored the old lady, returned to the kitchen with the empty medicine bowl, took two nests casually, and went to the southwest courtyard.

Zhou Yao and Biyu were already waiting at the door, and when they saw Zhu'er's figure through the crack in the door, the two hurriedly stretched out their hands, "Give us something to eat." ”

"Where's the embroidery?" Zhu'er didn't give them a nest for the first time, but asked.

The two hurriedly handed the embroidery through the crack in the door.

Zhu'er looked at the embroidery, "You two have been working for so long, and the rusty thing finally looks a little bit." ”

"Since you're satisfied, give us the food as soon as possible!" Inside the door, Jasper was too hungry to stand.

Only then did Zhu'er stuff the two shriveled nest heads into it.

"Why is it so small?" Biyu said, "I ...... last time"

"The Chen family is not as good as a day, none of the three masters make money, you want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, no!"

"Didn't we embroider for you?" Jasper Road.

"Are your embroideries valuable? And it took ten days and a half to rust out a pair, and the money from selling a pair of embroidery will support you to eat for half a month, do you think it is enough? ”

"Okay," Zhou Yao shook his head at Biyu and said in a low voice, "That's it!" ”

"We're locked in the courtyard, and we have to count on her for everything."

"But ......"

"Don't tell her, provoke her, it's only us who will be hungry!"

The year of being locked up in the Southwest Courtyard has made the two of them gradually get closer from hostility, and then now they depend on each other.

Seeing that the two stopped talking, Zhu'er snorted coldly and left.

Since the Chen Mansion couldn't pay wages, those subordinates stole valuable things, walked away, and fled......

Up and down the house, she is the only one left who is so busy.

If it weren't for her deed of sale in the hands of Mother Wen, she would have run away.

Biyu's mother, Zhao Ma, and father, Lin Gui, were arranged by Wen's mother to help other big families to make money to subsidize the Chen family.

There is no way, who let them be the children of the family, and the deed of sale is in the hands of the old lady.

"I'm so sad not to have my mother here......" Jasper became more and more desperate.

She sat on the ground and stretched out her arms, all thin.

She's just the same age as a flower.

She thought that when the uncle was angry, she would let them out.

But it seems that the uncle is getting more and more angry for some reason.

At this time, Zhou Yao had already eaten the nest head in her hand,

"Why don't we escape?"

"Run?" Jasper was stunned.

"Yes, escape," Zhou Yao said, "If we don't escape, we will die here, are you willing?" ”

"I'm ......" Biyu looked at the moldy nest in her hand in pain, "Run!" ”

She nodded heavily.

"Okay," Zhou Yao said, "Let's act tonight!" ”

"Tonight?"

"Well, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, didn't you just hear that girl say?"

"Say what?" Jasper was so hungry that she only paid attention to the nest head and didn't hear anything else.

"Su Nianyun is going to marry someone else!"

"What?" Biyu frowned, "Just now, did that girl say anything?" ”

"Yes," Zhou Yao nodded, "Such news coming to the Chen Mansion will only make Chen Shaoan be stimulated, and he will most likely come here tonight......"

In the past few days, whenever something didn't go his way, he came here.

His purpose here is simple, that is......

He always felt that it was the existence of the two of them that caused Su Nianyun to leave.

It was precisely because of Su Nianyun's departure that the Chen Mansion had no support, and then left to decline.

Therefore, when Chen Shaoan was particularly frustrated, he would come here and drink with him, and then beat and scolded the two.

"You mean ......" Hearing Zhou Yao's plan, Biyu was stunned.

After all, she was born and grew up in the Chen Mansion, and she never thought of disobeying her uncle.

Moreover, in her heart, she always felt that she was sorry for her uncle, so she couldn't bear it......

"If you can't bear it, then you can just watch from the sidelines, and I'll ......"

"But I ......"

"Do you really want to die in this never-ending courtyard?" Zhou Yao asked.

Biyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't want to." ”

"It's right if you don't want to, there is only one chance, if you can't catch it this time, you can only stay here forever!"

Just then, footsteps rang out outside.

Listen carefully, sure enough, it was Chen Shaoan's footsteps.
