Zhao Yingying knew that if she returned to Jing City with her brother, everything would overlap with the events of her previous life in her dream. So, she only wanted to protect her sister-in-law now. After her sister-in-law and brother got married, they would deal with those b*tches together!
“You… Jiang Xi is still a child. She’s married early and would be locked up in the dark Zhao family. I’m afraid she’ll be very uncomfortable.” Zhao Ruifeng tapped Zhao Yingying’s head, thinking that Zhao Yingying was in a hurry to let Jiang Xi marry her because she disliked the fact that there was no one at home to accompany her.
“Uncomfortable? I think my sister-in-law is much better at it than I am.” Zhao Yingying mumbled. She could only say that big brother did not understand her sister-in-law at all!
“All right, I’ll come back to take you two back to Jing City after I’m done with my work. Then, I’ll first exchange the token of engagement with Jiang Xi. You’ll be at ease now, right? ” Zhao Ruifeng promised helplessly. He didn’t know what Zhao Yingying was so anxious about. She did not even believe the Imperial edict and insisted that he marry Jiang Xi as soon as possible.
“Stay at home and don’t go anywhere. If the snow really seals the mountain this year, I’m afraid this town won’t be safe. But as long as you stay at home, there shouldn’t be any danger.” Zhao Ruifeng sighed and reminded Zhao Yingying worriedly. He wanted to take Zhao Yingying back to Jing City, but it seemed that Jing City was not safe. The election was next year, and if a girl of Zhao Yingying’s age did not enter the palace, she would have to go on blind dates everywhere. He was busy with all kinds of affairs, so he naturally would not leave Zhao Yingying’s marriage to his stepmother, Xiao Meili.
Zhao Ruifeng was far away in Happy Town, so he did not know that his grandfather had returned to the Zhao family Jing City with his grandmother and several concubines to take care of the baby.
Hearing Zhao Ruifeng’s words, Zhao Yingying smiled through her tears, but she did not listen to Zhao Ruifeng. When Zhao Ruifeng stepped out of the door, she wiped her tears and packed her things in peace. She was both excited and happy as she moved to Happy Village to find Jiang Xi! As for the crown prince of the neighboring country, Yuan Qilin, he had to wait for his country’s people to send an army to pick him up, so he stayed in the Zhao family’s courtyard in town. Only Zhao Yingying happily went to seek shelter with Jiang Xi, her new sister-in-law!
Zhao Yingying arrived at a bad time. Jiang Xi was having a meeting with the whole village. Zhao Yingying looked around and said to Jiang Xi with a smile, “My big brother is busy, so he asked me to come and accompany you for a while. When he is done with his work, he will come back to pick us up and bring us to Jing City.” After she finished speaking, she looked at the farm men in the courtyard with dark faces. The people who came to the meeting this time were all heads of families, but everyone had dissatisfaction on their faces. Zhao Yingying rolled her eyes and continued, “My big brother has been sent to the south by the emperor for disaster relief. I’m afraid that many people will die in this year’s snow disaster. Sister-in-law, if you don’t like to stay here, then I’ll tell big brother and we can go to Jing City in advance.”
As soon as Zhao Yingying’s voice fell, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense. The snow had been falling for several days without stopping, and there was already a small pile of snow on the ground. Someone could not help but ask Zhao Yingying, “Is what Miss Zhao said true? Did General Zhao go to provide disaster relief? Is it really snowing in the south?”
“It’s not just snowing. There are also refugees snatching property everywhere. I heard that an entire village was killed and then the village was occupied by refugees. When the government sent people to investigate, they did not notice it. It was a woman who went to seek refuge with her maiden family and found no one in the village. That’s why the matter was exposed.” A trace of sadness flashed across Zhao Yingying’s face. She was talking about what she had heard in her dream. It would only happen at the end of the year when the snow disaster became more serious, but this incident was enough to shock the villagers of the Happy Village.
Everyone present was shocked. Some people even gasped, and some could not help but light up their cigarettes and take two puffs. The atmosphere was a little heavy.
“My old man also said that he has never seen snow so early in his life. Moreover, the snow has not melted for days. I’m afraid there is a strange phenomenon.” Finally, someone could not help but look at Jiang Xi and say.
“If it’s true, I’m afraid the village will have to organize people to patrol day and night. The animals in the mountains will also come out to hunt for food. We must also take more precautions.” Someone chimed in.
“If it’s true, how many people are going to die?” Someone sighed.
