Chapter 317: Boarding the official ship in distress in the middle of the night

Wu Xin An Yingying bowed down, and the lady waved her hands,

"You have been told not to be polite, sit down and talk!"

The little girl next to her brought a stool to ask Wu Xin'an to sit down. The two of them started chatting. Only then did Wu Xin'an realize that the family's surname was Feng. The male host of the Feng family had passed the imperial examination last year, and this year the Ministry of Personnel assigned an errand, but he went to Songjiang Prefecture to be a county magistrate.

Wu Xinan laughed and said,

"Although the little woman has no knowledge, she has been in the capital for a long time. I have heard that Songjiang Mansion is a wealthy place. When she goes there to be a county magistrate, I think Lord Feng must be highly valued!"

Mrs. Feng heard that she flattered her husband. Although she smiled, there was still a little bit of melancholy between her eyebrows. She sighed,

"This hasn't reached the place yet, and I don't know what the rules of association is there!"

Wu Xinan said with a smile,

"Sir, I will surely make a great journey and make great achievements!"

Mrs. Feng smiled slightly when she heard this.

"Then I have to accept your auspicious words!"

After the two talked for a while, Mrs. Feng asked the little girl Axiang to send Wu Xinan into the cabin to rest. Mrs. Feng was kind-hearted. Thinking that Wu Xinan was pregnant, she couldn't bear to let her live in the cabin at the bottom, but asked Axiang to take her to the second floor. Although the cabin was at the end and was a little narrow, living alone was enough!

Wu Xinan put his bag into the cabin and went out to thank Mrs. Feng again and again, but Mrs. Feng smiled and murmured,

"You don't have to thank me. With you there, I can't say I'm going to be happier along the way!"

Wu Xinan couldn't understand the meaning, and she understood it when it was evening.

It turned out that Mrs. Feng was the first to stand on the official boat, but County Magistrate Feng came one step late. It was almost dark when he boarded the boat. He was surrounded by a beautiful young woman, a man and a woman. The boy looked about five or six years old, and the girl was three or four years old. Four people got off the carriage. He walked along the way, watching the family kissing and warm and smiling, Wu Xinan understood why Mrs. Feng had a sad look that could not be removed between her eyebrows!

Mrs. Feng greeted the four people on the deck, first the boy and girl came up to salute.

"Mother!"

Mrs. Feng nodded and wanted to reach out to touch them. Both of them shrank and hid behind the young woman. Seeing this, the young woman stepped forward and bowed quickly.

"elder sister!"

Mrs. Feng nodded,

"Um!"

Then Mrs. Feng saluted her husband,

"Husband!"

County Magistrate Feng nodded indifferently, and looked at Wu Xinan behind Mrs. Feng.

"Who is this?"

Mrs. Feng responded,

"This Pei family lady took our boat south..."

"oh……"

County Magistrate Feng frowned unhappily when he heard this, and only spoke in front of Wu Xin'an but did not say much, and led the way into the main hall.

Seeing that County Magistrate Feng didn't like him, Wu Xinan didn't want to be intimidated. He went in and saluted and said a few words in the scene, then retreated and left the family to speak in the main hall.

The official ship set off south early the next morning. Because Wu Xin'an deliberately slowed down the time, the people who chased him were staggered with her. No one thought that she would take the official ship. Even if there was news, the Jinyiwei searched along the coast, but he didn't notice the official ship.

Wu Xin'an was peaceful and smooth all the way, and the child in her belly was also very well-behaved and did not make her suffer at all.

Wu Xin'an's family also kept her duty. She didn't easily go up the deck, nor did she have more contact with the Feng County Magistrate's family. However, Mrs. Feng was lonely on the road and asked A Xiang to invite her to speak in her room from time to time. Wu Xin'an watched coldly for so long and knew the hardships of Mrs. Feng.

The only one who is a big wife cannot give birth to children, and his husband has adopted a new partner. The new partner is young and beautiful and can please his husband. After giving birth to a son and a daughter, he has already become a sign of residence. Now, Mrs. Feng has nothing to do in this family except guarding the name of a full-time wife!

In this situation, Wu Xin'an naturally showed off his own way with Li Shu. Everyone went their separate ways. There were too few women like her in this world, and most of them were like Mrs. Feng. Even if the husband changed his mind, he would have to end up in one go, and he suffered all the grievances and had no idea of ​​leaving.

When Wu Xinan saw that she saw the two children Feng Baoan and Feng Xiaoxiao with a look of kindness every day, she knew that she must also love the children very much and that she could not give birth to them herself. The two children were taught by their biological mother not only not to be close to her, but instead had a faint hostility, which made Mrs. Feng even more sad.

Mrs. Feng herself cannot have children, but she is particularly concerned about Wu Xin'an, a pregnant person. She also specially reminded the chef to do more for her three meals this day. Wu Xin'an felt that she was kind and thanked her again and again. Mrs. Feng smiled very gently.

"In this family, I have only such a little ability left. If you can help you, I will help you!"

In Wu Xin'an's opinion, having a wife as gentle, dignified and generous as Mrs. Feng is really the blessing of County Magistrate Feng. Unfortunately, County Magistrate Feng is in the blessing and does not know how to be blessed. He devotes himself to the concubine. He has not been in Mrs. Feng's room for a long time.

Wu Xinan was most shameless and couldn't help but stand up for Mrs. Feng, but Mrs. Feng thought it through and said with a smile.

"I can't have children, and he's just a waste of time when he comes to my room. It's better to stay in Liu's room. He can't say that he can give birth to a child and a half of his daughter in the future!"

Wu Xinan sighed in her heart when she heard this. It was not easy for outsiders to interfere in this family matter, so she could only talk with Mrs. Feng all the way. Compared to Mrs. Feng, she had seen more worldly appearances, and was straightforward and cheerful. She spoke no more than the women next to her. However, the Feng family liked her very much. Even the two children who had originally kept their distance from her gradually became closer to her.

They passed Cangzhou and then went to Suqian. That night they stopped in Suqian, but because they missed the big wharf in the city, they chose to settle in a remote town.

The boat stopped until midnight, but something happened...

In the middle of the night, Wu Xinan suddenly felt alert and woke up from her sleep. She got up from the bed, reached out to open the cabinet and took out the bag inside, took out the hidden Persian dagger, held the hilt in her hand, and put it in her wide sleeves with her backhand.

She opened the cabin door and quietly held the bar and looked down, but she saw that at some point there were a few grasshopper boats near the official boat, and a few figures had already been on the deck, and some people were climbing up along the hanging rope.

The magistrate Feng was born as an ordinary gentry and his family was not rich. He had just been appointed as an official and had not much money in his hand. Otherwise, Mrs. Feng would not have taken her money and allowed her to take a boat.

Therefore, they only hired two thugs in the hospital, as well as six boatmen on the official boat, the rest were a housekeeper of the Feng family, two servants, the close maid of Mrs. Feng and her concubine Liu, the wet nurse of two children, and then they were themselves.

The man who could beat the boat on the boat took out the scholars' magistrate Feng, and he had to see two guards and six boatmen. But the bad guys jumped onto the boat, and there was no movement of these people. I don't know if they were scared and dared not come out, or if they were restrained earlier and could not resist.

Wu Xinan heard someone whispering to the second floor, but her body flashed and returned to her cabin. The situation is now unclear, and there is no doubt that she has a belly full of people to protect herself. It is a bit difficult to think of saving people.

Now it is best to keep your troops still and wait and see what happens!

So she hid the dagger in her sleeve pocket, and pressed her back against the cabin door to listen to the movement outside. Soon, a few people came up to the second floor. First, they went straight to the bow of the boat from the stern, looking for the widest and brightest cabin. Naturally, the owner's residence was where he kicked open the door and broke in, and screamed in the inside, and the rest of the people were alarmed.

Someone exclaimed,

"What do you want to do?"

It sounded like A Xiang, but it was Mrs. Feng's room that was kicked open. Mrs. Feng's voice came over.

"Whatever you want to do, don't hurt people if you want to make money. Everything is here, just take it away!"

Immediately afterwards, the door of his cabin was kicked open. Wu Xin looked suddenly awakened and sat up from the bed.

"ah……"

She screamed, and a darkness flashed in front of the door, and shone in with the light from the mast outside, but she saw a man with a fleshy face pounced towards her.

"Shut up!"

The steel knife in the man's hand shook and put it on Wu Xin'an's neck. Wu Xin'an quickly covered his mouth. Seeing that Wu Xin'an became honest, the man pushed her and said,

"go out!"

Wu Xin'an got out of bed and was pushed outside by the man. The lights were bright in the main hall. Many of the Feng family, together with the guards and boatmen, were tied up and threw them on the ground. When Mrs. Feng saw Wu Xin'an in, she struggled to sit up and shout.

"She is just a boat ride and is still pregnant. Don't make things difficult for her!"

How willing those people listened, they pushed Wu Xin'an and Feng's family to get together, but looking at her big belly, she could not go anywhere, so they didn't tie a rope to her.

Everyone looked up at the bandit leader in shock and fear. They saw that this man was not tall, with a deer-headed and mouse-eyed look, and his hair was shaved with a strange hairstyle. A small thigh of black beards were left among the people. At first glance, they knew that they were not from the Central Plains. County Magistrate Feng had some knowledge and could not help but shout.

"Japanese pirates!"

The bandit leader showed that he knew Chinese. He glared at him and reached out and gave County Magistrate Feng a slap.

"What are the Japanese pirates? We are warriors! Warriors!"
