The head of the family lost his composure, and as a servant, Mr. Chen was of course not much better.

Seeing Chen Siliu looking like he was a betrayal, Housekeeper Chen stood in panic in the front hall. After a while, he saw that Chen Siliu was still in a daze and without giving him any instructions. Housekeeper Chen quietly took a few steps back, walked out of the front hall, turned around and walked slowly towards the door. When the servants saw him, they all took the initiative to salute him, with a respectful and fearful attitude, Housekeeper Chen did not respond and sighed with a stern face.

The Chen family is about to be destroyed, and the head of the family is even facing prison. How can he be the end of the nest after being destroyed? How long can he be as the butler of the Chen family be prosperous?

The news that the Chen family offended the new county magistrate had spread in the Chen mansion. The servants were doing their own work, but their faces were filled with panic and frightened. Seeing him building a tall building and his building collapsed, the rise and fall of merchants often only depended on the words of being an official.

In the front hall, Chen Siliu looked at the light and dark candlelight, sighed like a whimper, covered his fat face with both hands, and his body kept trembling.

At some point, a pair of slender hands pressed Chen Siliu's trembling shoulders and slowly kneaded his shoulders, as if calming his emotions.

"Dad, is it really irrescueable?" The voice was soft, but mixed with strong anxiety.

Chen Siliu closed his eyes and sighed: "Ying'er, the Chen family is in trouble... Ning'er has caused a lot of trouble this time."

Chen Ying'er bit her lower lip and said angrily: "The second brother is too unaware of the matter! My daughter has warned him long ago that we are merchants, and even if we have a wealthy family, we cannot be arrogant outside. There are too many big people in this world that we cannot afford to offend, but he just doesn't listen..."

Chen Siliu's pale face also rose a little annoyed: "I, Chen Siliu, had committed any evil in my previous life, and she gave birth to such a evil son! I... I really want to beat him to death!"

Chen Ying'er hurriedly kneaded Chen Siliu's shoulders and said softly: "Dad, don't be angry, the Chen family has to rely on you to overcome this difficulty... Where is the second brother and others?"

"Hmph! I beat him hard, then locked him in the ancestral hall and punished him to kneel..."

Chen Ying'er looked unbearable: "Dad, the weather is quite cold. The wind is cold at night. How can I have a second brother if he catches cold? The Chen family is so single..."

Chen Siliu was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Ying'er, you are the most sensible. Go to the inner courtyard to clean up, and then call your mother and your brother, go out of the city overnight... Five years ago, I bought a few acres of thin land in Zhenjiang Mansion. The government probably won't find it. In the future... I will rely on you to manage this family in the future..."

Chen Ying'er was stunned and then said in surprise: "Dad, what do you... mean?"

Chen Siliu smiled desperately: "There is no way to ask for help. It seems that County Magistrate Cao will not let our Chen family go. You should run away quickly. I am not confused, so I gave up my body and let County Magistrate Cao exclaimed a resentment."

"Dad, never! Didn't the county magistrate Cao say that if we don't arrest our people, as long as our family loses everything? As long as our family is safe and sound, we will give him the property..."

Chen Siliu sneered: "Do you think he wouldn't arrest anyone if he said he wouldn't arrest anyone? I've seen a lot of official behavior. First, find a reason, put the person in prison, then torture the confession, and carve a few crimes, and finally confiscate the property with confidence. No one can catch him. He said that checking the account books of our Chen family today is the first step..."

Chen Ying'er's pretty face was pale and she cried, "Is there no other way? Dad, you have made a lot of money for Huang Magistrate, Xie Zhuan, Li Dianshi and others. Today, the Chen family was in trouble. Dad, you go and ask Huang Magistrate..."

Chen Siliu sighed and said, "It's so difficult! This afternoon, Master Xie sent someone to pass on a few words to me. This new county magistrate Cao is really from a big background. Even Huang Magistrate had to let him score three points..."

"Who is the origin of County Magistrate Cao?"

"He... he was originally a military officer of the garrison. He was under the command of the King of Yan in Beiping. The King of Yan was the leader of the remnants of Yuan Yuan in the north. This Cao Baihu led the way and made great contributions. He retired due to his injuries. The King of Yan demonstrated his merits and cherished his talents. He specially recommended him to the capital to make up for the civil servant of the Jiangpu County Magistrate. The Prince of Cao was standing behind him, but His Highness, the Prince of Yan! How could Huang Magistrate provoke him?"

Chen Siliu sighed deeply, looking as decayed as a dead person.

Chen Ying'er was also stunned. The backer behind County Magistrate Cao was actually His Highness King Yan. Such a powerful backer was a huge figure for the small merchant of the Chen family. The Chen family offended County Magistrate Cao and ended up...

"It seems that my Chen family is really desperate..." Chen Ying'er burst into tears in tears, and her crystal tears wet her clothes.

"Now the Chen family has only two roads to go. One is that you escape from Jiangpu overnight and hide your identity from now on. You may be able to keep your life safe. I will stay here to let County Magistrate Cao breathe..."

"Dad! You must not walk this road! My second brother is still young, and my daughter and mother are women. You are the backbone of our family! Without you, the Chen family will probably be defeated from now on..."

Chen Siliu sighed, looked at Chen Ying'er intricately, and said for a while: "...The second road, Huang Weishan, the only son of Huang Magistrate, is quite affectionate to you. Last summer, Huang Magistrate asked me for marriage on behalf of his son. Because you and Xiao Fan had a long engagement, if you regretted the marriage, you were afraid that my reputation of the Chen family would be hampered. Besides, Huang Weishan has already married and you can only be a concubine for him, so he politely rejected Huang Magistrate. Although I gave Huang Magistrate another thousand taels of silver to Huang Magistrate afterwards, thinking that he was apologized, but because of this, Huang Magistrate must have a grudge in his heart. The Chen family was in trouble today, if so..."

Chen Siliu stopped talking and looked at Chen Ying'er with a slight silence. The unfinished meaning in the words was clear without saying anything.

Chen Ying'er's pretty face was filled with pain, and she was silent for a while. Her beautiful eyes that had been closed for a long time opened. She clenched her teeth and said resolutely: "Dad, my daughter is willing to do anything for the Chen family, as long as she can keep the Chen family safe, even if... she is the concubine of Huang Weishan, her daughter is willing to...will!"

If he married Huang Weishan as his concubine, Huang Magistrate Huang would definitely keep the Chen family safe. After all, he has become a family. Even if County Magistrate Cao is strong, he is still a newcomer and has no foundation. Huang Magistrate Huang tries his best to make peace, and I believe that the Chen family can still be safe.

Of course Chen Siliu understands this principle, and Chen Yinger understands it too.

As for Chen's son-in-law Xiao Fan, the father and daughter both forgot him.

In the shopping malls and officialdom, it is common to compromise and balance, and exchange of interests. Who cares about the feelings of a poor and poor farmer's child? Regrets and remarries the son of the county magistrate. It is certainly a great loss of the reputation of the Chen family, but now the Chen family is at a critical moment of life and death. It is no longer enough to care about the fact that the reputation is not famous. Let's save the lives of the Chen family.

Chen Ying'er was already full of tears, and the girlish feelings were always poetry. She had fantasized countless times that a graceful, elegant and handsome young man put on a wedding dress for her and pampered her for the rest of her life. But reality is always cruel. Neither Xiao Fan nor Huang Weishan were the choice of the good man she expected, but she had to succumb to reality. The fate of women in this era could not be chosen at all. It was her fate to exchange her body for peace in her family.

"Ying'er, Ying'er... I'm sorry for you as a father..." Chen Siliu was also crying.

"Dad... don't blame yourself. My daughter wants to get married anyway. Since she is involuntarily involuntarily, what's the difference between marrying a pig and a dog..."

Under the dim and swaying candlelight, the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly, and a sad atmosphere was shrouded in the front hall.

Outside the front hall where the crying sounded, a low sigh suddenly came.

"You father and daughter are deeply in love, and you are so dedicated to crying that I really shouldn't interrupt you... But I still can't help but want to argue... I actually have many advantages. At least it's a big difference to marrying me than marrying pigs and dogs..."

The Chen family father and daughter stopped crying and looked out of the front hall in shock.

Under the irritating wind lamps under the corridor, a thin figure dragged narrowly and long. The figure slowly walked towards them, and took a few steps, and a face with a faint smile appeared clearly in their eyes.

Xiao Fan, that cowardly son-in-law who lives under someone else’s roof!

"What do you mean?" Chen Siliu frowned and said in a deep voice.

The Chen family was in trouble. Could this waste who ate free food intend to mock them?

Xiao Fan didn't even look at Chen Ying'er, but just smiled faintly at Chen Siliu. His smile fell into the eyes of the Chen father and daughter, which was naturally extremely hateful.

"My father-in-law..."

As soon as Xiao Fan spoke, the eyelids of the Chen family father and daughter twitched at the same time.

This title made them very resistant.

"... Although this matter is a bit difficult, it seems that there is no need for my father-in-law to take out his son-in-law's fiancée to exchange for peace, right? Where does my father-in-law's move mean to his son-in-law?" Although Xiao Fan had a smile on his face, his tone was a little cold.

Chen Siliu's face became shy when he heard this. After a while, he said, "My nephew... The Chen family is now in trouble. I was having an agreement with your father back then. I am afraid... My nephew, if you don't object, I would like to pay you two hundred taels of silver. If you have a marriage with Ying'er, just pretend that it is not..."

"My father-in-law, since the Chen family and the County Magistrate Cao have become a dead end, why not let me try it. Perhaps... the son-in-law has a way to let the Chen family survive this disaster and resolve the hatred with the County Magistrate Cao, and... there is no need to compensate the son-in-law's fiancée."

"What?"
