After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 271 9 deaths and 1 life

Xia Wanniang looked at the looks in the eyes of several people and smiled awkwardly: "Don't look at me like that, it's just that as an outsider, I can see more clearly. If you want to build an iron empire, you have to be airtight."

Qingfeng stood up and bowed to her: "Qingfeng is convinced."

Li Ge also bowed to her: "I will teach you."

Wu Hanyu looked at her and said, "How about you be my teacher?"

Xia Wanniang rolled her eyes: "I don't want to follow the rules of the palace."

Wu Hanyu felt a little regretful. Now he had no right to ask her to break the rules, so he could only give up this idea.

Qingfeng looked outside and saw that the rain had subsided. "Ali, we need to deal with these people on the lake while it's still dark. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain how many bodies there will be tomorrow morning."

Xu Li stood up quickly and said, "I almost forgot about this." Then he looked at Wu Hanyu and said, "Hanyu, let me borrow your secret guards to help salvage the body."

Wu Hanyu nodded and asked Li Ge to make the arrangements.

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "Hanyu, I want to ask you a favor."

Wu Hanyu was a little surprised to see her being so serious: "What's the matter?"

Xia Wanniang: "Ask your secret guards to help me train a few people."

Wu Hanyu was silent for a while before speaking: "Wan Niang, can I call you that?"

Xia Wanniang nodded

Wu Hanyu then spoke up: "Each of the secret guards has a narrow escape from death. The probability of each batch of secret guards surviving is less than 30%."

Xia Wanniang hesitated when she heard this. Less than 30% would be too cruel for these children.

Wu Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll send someone to you."

Xiao Chiye: "Who?"

"Li Yuan."

Xiao Chiye was shocked: "He's not dead?"

Wu Hanyu nodded: "He was seriously injured and his face was destroyed. I saved him by accident."

Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye: "Who?"

"His second brother's secret guard is also the top one among the secret guards of the Li generation." Xiao Chiye explained to her.

Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You are hiding him, aren't you afraid that others will find out?"

Wu Hanyu smiled bitterly: "Who would go to my place? But it's not a good idea for him to hide all the time. It's best to send him to you."

Xia Wanniang didn't care. Having one more powerful secret guard might not be a bad thing, although this secret guard was a little hot to handle.

Xiao Chiye watched the boat approaching the shore and said, "You'd better return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Wu Hanyu: "I will leave after I get ashore." He handed a box to Xia Wanniang and said: "Inside are the deeds of two shops in Luocheng. I'm giving them to you now. I think you need them more than I do."

Xia Wanniang took the box and said, "Thank you."

After the ship docked, Wu Hanyu got on a carriage and Li Ge drove it. He bowed to them.

Xia Wanniang didn't see the other secret guards, so she knew that their stealth skills were extremely good. They were probably hiding in the dark and left with the carriage.

After Xu Li came ashore, he asked Banyan and Yin Yuanxun to help deal with the bodies.

Xia Wanniang was not surprised at all when she saw Banyan. Ever since the incident with Pang Ming ended, he and Xu Li had become brothers.

Now they were all in the same boat, so after exchanging a few pleasantries, they pulled the bodies out of the city.

Xia Wanniang told them to remember to search their belongings and not leave any clues.

Yin Yuanxun nodded: "I know what to do."

Xiao Chiye and his companions went to Xu Li's government office at night and took a nap.

The rain stopped in the early morning, bringing with it a refreshing after-rain air.

Xu Li was about to go to the yamen, but when he saw a few people who were so leisurely, he was so angry that he just threw up his sleeves and went to the yamen.

Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at his back: "This guy is a bit grumpy when he wakes up."

Qingfeng smiled and shook his head: "Go back now?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "I'll go pick up a few children and wait for you at the city gate."

Xiao Chiye: "Qingfeng and I will go pick up mother and wait for you at the city gate."

When Xia Wanniang arrived at Liu Laoshi's house, several children were having breakfast. When they saw her, they greeted her happily.

Xuanqing and the others did not feel sad when they left this time, and they even looked forward to meeting them again.

Mother Eve looked at her children. They were growing up slowly without her seeing them, becoming more outstanding and more sensible.
