After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1128 I Need a Woman's Identity
Although she didn't say it, the clerk Guan had already figured out that this was the reason she didn't leave early.

“Sister Shu…” Clerk Guan was moved, happy, and guilty at the same time. Looking at her swollen belly, he felt that the child had come at the wrong time.

But he couldn't say it out loud, or Shu-jie would be upset.

He could only say, "Whether you are a boy or a girl, you must be filial to your mother. It was so hard for your mother to carry you and give birth to you."

Aunt Qin laughed and gave him a push: "Go wash up quickly so you can go to bed early. You have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

The clerk, Guan, acted shamelessly, hugging her and saying, "I've been insulted, Sister Shu, please comfort me first."

"Ha," Qin Xiaogu laughed, "The villagers curse the government every day, aren't you used to it yet?"

Clerk Guan: "Recently, there are even more people cursing, and their words are even more outrageous."

Because of the preparations for the plague, the villagers cursed the officials and soldiers, including the Qin and Jiang families.

Despite their complaints, the villagers still followed the government's orders and made preparations to prevent the spread of the plague.

Guan, the clerk, couldn't stand the insults; he was just using them as an excuse to be affectionate with his wife.

Qin Xiaogu understood, so she let him show weakness and complain.

When he complained bitterly, he would even join in cursing the villagers.

"See, we got our revenge! Feeling much better now?"

Clerk Guan nodded and smiled, "Yes, much more comfortable... Wife, thank you."

"You still know I'm your wife? Then why are you thanking me? Go wash up, have a bowl of hot soup, and go to sleep."

This time, Clerk Guan finally got up and looked at the several open chests in the room: "Let the old steward and Granny Chen take care of transporting the family property to the capital. Don't bother yourself."

Because of their marriage, the Guan family brought a lot of things to Taifeng Town, and now they have to transport the valuables to the capital city to hide them.

Aunt Qin shook her head: "I'm not busy moving the furniture, I'm busy preparing for Ertao's wedding. Ertao and Songguo will be getting married on March 28th."

April didn't sound good, so we chose March 28th as an auspicious day.

"We'll do it tomorrow, it's getting late." Clerk Guan closed the lids of the several trunks, helped Qin Xiaogu to bed, and made sure she had a quilt and pillows before going to wash up.

……

The good news that Qin Ertao and Qiao Songguo were getting married had spread throughout Taifeng Town and even reached the county seat.

Well, the villagers are very happy, and they feel much more at ease.

"The Qin family still has the leisure to hold a wedding, which shows that the war is still far away. We can rest assured."

"Don't worry, my foot! There's still the rat plague. They've made a big deal out of it. Even the government has issued a document telling every household to make protective hoods, saying that if you wear the hoods, fleas won't bite you and you won't get sick."

"Pah, what a load of rubbish! We've been running around for half a month and haven't seen a single patient. If you ask me, it's just Jiang Dalang spreading rumors, and the Qin family actually took it seriously and reported it to the authorities. The Qin family has Qiong Laoxun backing them up; Magistrate Kang can't beat them, so he has to listen to the Qin and Jiang families! Hmph, we don't even know whose government we're running anymore..."

"Men, tie up Lü Heiwang, gag him, and send him to the thatched shed to be locked up!" Lü Sanye was patrolling with the students of the village martial arts school when he heard this and was so angry that he immediately gave the order.

Lu Heiwang turned pale with fright, knelt down with a thud, and slapped himself repeatedly: "Third Brother Lu, I was wrong. I just had a sharp tongue. Please don't hold it against me."

"Hmph, were your words just a tactless remark? You've already openly accused the Qin and Jiang families of seizing the county government office from the imperial court, which is an attempt to kill the Qin family. If I don't arrest you, the Qin family will file a lawsuit, and my entire Lü clan will be implicated and killed because of you!" Third Master Lü shouted to the Lü family members, "Quickly shut your mouths, send them to the thatched hut, and go call my father here!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" The patrolling members of the Lü family rushed towards Lü Heiwang, tied him up, and sent someone to inform the Lü clan chief. Upon hearing the news, the Lü clan chief's face darkened: "It's the Lü Heiwang family again! This family of bastards, it's either Lü Sanhong and Hua Taoniang causing trouble, or Lü Heiwang causing trouble! I should really give them a good beating and send the whole family to Tianmang Prefecture as targets!"

Granny Lü hurriedly said, "Old man, you are the clan leader, how can you say such a thing? Hurry up, calm down, and go resolve Lü Heiwang's matter... Regardless of whether the Dongmo people attack or not, our Lü family still has to rely on the Qin family, so we must maintain this relationship."

Chief Lü was no fool. After scolding Lü Heiwang, his anger subsided by half. He composed himself and went to the thatched hut to deal with Lü Heiwang.

"Lu Heiwang, stay in the thatched hut for seven days, or you can take this expulsion document and get out!"

Leave, leave the clan!

Lu Heiwang was so frightened that he cried bitterly: "Clan leader, clan leader, I was wrong. I will never be so talkative again. Please forgive me this time. I can't be expelled from the clan. Without the clan to rely on, I will die in less than a month!"

He's useless at everything; even spring plowing can only be completed when the rest of the clan finishes their work and comes to help his family.

The villagers won't help?
Without a harvest, this scoundrel will have to eat the clan's produce; during the spring plowing inspection, if the village has empty fields, the village will be fined by the government, and the victims will all be members of the Lü family.

Therefore, most of the Lü family members were cursing Lü Heiwang while helping him with his work.

"Hmph, your branch of the family is truly better off extinct!" Clan Chief Lü left these words behind, turned and left, going to Silifang to admit his mistake and apologize, and then to the Qin family to admit his mistake and apologize.

Grandpa Qin said, "These kinds of rumors are not only circulating in our town, but also in the county seat. My family doesn't care."

He added, "If enduring a few insults would prevent the rat plague and war from happening to my family, then my family would be willing to endure it."

Clan Chief Lü: "But this is too unfair to your family."

Grandpa Qin: "I don't feel wronged. Everyone has their own temper. As long as these tempers don't affect our preparations for epidemic prevention and fighting the enemy, that's fine."

This?
Chief Lu stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Grandpa Qin, and stopped talking about Lu Heiwang's matter. He only reported on the preparations the Lu family had made: "Pregnant women, infants, and people over sixty have all been registered; wartime rations, vehicles, medicines, water bags, salt, and the like have all been prepared, so we can leave at any time."

but……

"Brother Qin, can you really let us go? Will you really let us into the city?" Chief Lü whispered in Grandpa Qin's ear.

Grandpa Qin smiled, but didn't give a definite answer, only saying, "The strength of numbers is never just an empty phrase."

Elder Lü's eyes widened, he understood, then bowed to Grandpa Qin and took his leave.

Starting from Lü Heiwang's place, as the weather gradually warmed up, the gossip that there would be no war, no rat plague, and that the Qin and Jiang families were just boasting never stopped.

But the Qin family didn't care; they just continued to prepare for the war and arrange the wedding of Qin Ertao and Qiao Songguo.

When the weather warmed up and they changed into lighter clothes, the day of their wedding finally arrived.

Starting on the 27th, both families were busy with the wedding banquet.

On the 28th, before dawn, Qin Ertao was busy getting ready.

Qin Xiaomi, a cousin from the same clan, went to see Qin Ertao off at her wedding. When she saw Qin Ertao, her eyes lit up: "Sister Ertao is beautiful."

It's so beautiful. If something happens to Qiao Songguo during the war, Ertao will be left a widow, which would be a real shame.

Perhaps seeing the regret and heartache in Qin Xiaomi's eyes, Qin Ertao smiled and said to her, "Xiaomi, don't worry, it's my choice to marry him, and I need to do more things as a woman."

Young girls are always confined, while women have much more freedom.

When a real fight breaks out, Xiaomi will definitely have a lot of things to do, and she wants to use her status as a woman to make it easier for her to help Xiaomi.
