Chapter 18 What's the difference between this and marrying into another family?
Cheng Ruoan cleared her throat and said seriously, "Fourth brother, what you're saying is confusing. My husband and I are still your third sister-in-law and third brother, but we just had a brush with death yesterday and have gained some supernatural abilities that others cannot see."
The poison you just swallowed is called "Heavenly Secrets Must Not Be Revealed." If you ever reveal even the slightest bit about our "supernatural powers" to others, you will be punished by Heaven. You can try it if you don't believe me.
But for now, you should get up.
As she spoke, Cheng Ruoan took a step forward, making a gesture as if to help Si Silang up.
Si Silang stared at Si Shaoheng with wide eyes, as if seeking confirmation from him about something.
Si Shaoheng: ...
He really believed this woman's lies; what kind of nonsense was she spouting?
But at this moment, he still nodded to Si Shilang, coughed twice with his fist to his lips, and said:
“Indeed, we are still us, but… Fourth Brother, do you remember when I passed the imperial examination at the age of five, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face passed through our village and said that I had a great destiny?”
Si Shilang was taken aback; he remembered.
And since he was little, he had heard from his family and the villagers that his third brother was the reincarnation of the God of Literature. Could it be...?
"So the rice bag disappeared because you used magic..." Before Si Shilang could finish speaking, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and his body trembled and his hands and feet twitched!
He felt the same way he used to see people who had been struck by lightning – he was just twitching inexplicably!
Si Silang quickly shut up, and Cheng Ruoan quietly put the riot stun gun out of his sleeve and back into his spatial storage.
Hopefully, when she enters the space, the stun gun will still be on the ground at the villa's gate, and won't have been swallowed by the white mist.
After being electrocuted like that, Shiro believed everything.
His third brother and sister-in-law possessed great supernatural powers!
It's a great divine power bestowed by Heaven, and I mustn't tell anyone!
As Si Silang's previously simple yet witty eyes gradually turned clear and blindly obedient, Cheng Ruoan couldn't help but smile.
She raised an eyebrow at Si Shaoheng.
See, isn't this better than simply controlling him with fake poison?
Si Shaoheng: ...
Whether in modern or ancient times, you shouldn't get married and become a full-time housewife. You should be writing novels. Even the top online writers can't write as many stories as you!
After resolving the crisis of his identity being exposed, Cheng Ruoan sat at the entrance of this dead end, waiting for Si Shaoheng and Si Silang to return from fetching grain.
After the two brothers brought the grain back, Cheng Ruoan unabashedly put all 35 bags of white rice and 35 bags of white flour into his spatial storage right in front of Si Silang.
The remaining fifteen bags were left on the donkey cart as an explanation to their families outside the city gate.
Throughout the entire process, Shiro simply stood solemnly and helped keep watch, without asking a single question or mentioning anything else.
Cheng Ruoan was very satisfied. After coming out of the space, she opened her eyes and gave the asthma spray to Si Silang.
"This is medicine for Si Niu. Whenever she has an attack, just put this small hole into her mouth and press down on this copper plate."
There's no need to give her any other medication at other times. Once we've settled down, we can find a doctor to help her recover.
Si Shilang had never seen such a strange medicine before. The white jade-like porcelain bottle was about the length of a palm, cylindrical in shape, and had a loose, yellowish copper plate on top that could be pressed.
This must have been obtained by Third Sister-in-law using her supernatural powers!
No wonder Third Brother told him not to go to Xinglin Hall, saying that Third Sister-in-law would easily get medicine for Fourth Sister. It turns out they had planned to use supernatural means to save Fourth Sister from the very beginning!
Si Shilang's eyes reddened, and the nearly 1.8-meter-tall man burst into tears on the spot.
"Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, I, Si Silang, entrust my life to you! From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. I won't say more; you'll see how things go!"
Cheng Ruoan responded with a deep, resonant "hmm," and nodded.
"Si Lang, from now on, follow us and work hard, and you'll get what you deserve."
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law!"
Si Shaoheng: ...
This woman even put on an act.
Cheng Ruoan even winked at him, looking quite happy.
Now, Shishiro's loyalty has been maxed out.
From now on, if she and Si Shaoheng need to use the space for anything, they'll have a local from Great Xia to cover for them.
The three of them then went together, with Shishiro driving the donkey cart, to buy all the necessities needed for their escape.
Cheng Ruoan naturally used the Si family's public funds to buy these pots and pans, flint, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, as well as oilcloth, baskets, needles and thread, and other such items.
Every time she opened her money pouch, she couldn't help but curse the magistrate of Qingshan County for his insatiable greed.
"We just left like that, I'm so angry! Is there anything I can do to teach him a lesson?"
Cheng Ruoan had some ideas, but needed Si Shaoheng's help to implement them, so she secretly encouraged him.
Si Shaoheng scoffed coldly, "If you have a way, then go ahead. My opinion is that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
Cheng Ruoan clenched his fist, his face sinister: "I'm not a gentleman, I'll take revenge immediately!"
Si Shaoheng: "Fine, what do you want?"
Cheng Ruoan chuckled twice, then leaned close to Si Shaoheng's ear, "First we do this, then we do that..."
The driver, Shiro, was forced to listen to the details.
Shishiro:......
Although I am now your most loyal "servant", please don't treat me like a human being!
Do you really not need to hide the fact that I raided the county government's back residence at night and stole from the magistrate's private treasury?
The donkey cart was fully loaded. When it arrived at the city gate, Cheng Ruoan, leaning on a cane, stood inside the gate and waved to the two men with a smile.
"Husband~ hurry up and hand the car over to Mother and the others and come back quickly. My leg needs to be dressed again tomorrow before I can drive."
These words were, of course, meant for the guards at the city gate.
But this was also the explanation Si Shaoheng gave to the Si family.
"I understand, my wife, you may wander around here."
Si Shaoheng and Si Silang escorted the donkey cart out of the city gate and gave Zhao Shi half a tael of silver as a token of their appreciation.
Just as he was about to tell her to take everyone to his second brother's in-laws' house, the Li family, to stay overnight, Zhao started cursing Si Erlang and Li Shi while wiping away tears and slapping her thigh.
"Fourth Brother, your second brother is trying to drive me crazy, and that Li woman too..."
Si Shaoheng: ...
He frowned, unable to hide his displeasure: "What's wrong with the second wife now?"
After a bout of crying and cursing, Zhao finally managed to explain the situation.
It was nothing more than the three of them, Si Shaoheng, and his wife, entering the city, and the second son and his wife, taking their child and saying goodbye to the Li family, leaving right after.
At first, Zhao didn't react. It was Cheng Ruoan's mother who was wondering why they had taken the stroller away when they were just saying goodbye.
“I think they just want to stay at Old Li’s house and not escape with us. But how can they do that? The son-in-law takes the children and goes to live with his wife’s family. What’s the difference between that and him marrying into the family?”
