Chapter 25 How to Get Out
Yao Shu shook his head: "It's not easy for her, she is obviously a knowledgeable and sensible person, but she has been worn down like this in her life. I heard that the county magistrate took in a new concubine?"

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Liu's spirit suddenly rose: "Isn't it! It's the sixth one now! Hey, you say we ordinary people, which one doesn't think it's absurd? Even if it's the prime minister's house, Never took six concubines!"

Yao Shu hated the magistrate Yao, and felt very sorry for the magistrate's wife.

If it is said that it is evil for a woman to be jealous, then wouldn't it be a greater evil for a man to go all over the place?The county magistrate's wife is not bad in appearance, but how can a beautiful woman be happy if her demeanor is getting haggard and her figure is getting bloated?

Yao Shu, who originally planned to go home as soon as the rouge was sold out, had another plan in mind.

Two days later, Yao Shu drove to Liucheng County by himself.

She had inquired in advance that the county magistrate was not in the county these days, so she went straight to the county magistrate's mansion with confidence and boldness.

When he came to the corner gate in the backyard, Yao Shu said politely to the old lady who was watching the door: "I am Yao Shu from Yaoji Cloth Village in Qingtong Town. I am here to find the county magistrate's wife. I hope the old man will pass on the message. I am very grateful."

Not long after, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in coarse clothes came out to welcome her.

The little girl didn't know Yao Shu's background, seeing that she hadn't put on a woman's bun and looked young, she just smiled and said: "Miss, please come with your servant, Madam is at home today."

Liucheng County is located in Beiyan, it is winter, everything is withered, and the backyard where the county magistrate's wife lives is even more dilapidated and desolate due to neglect.

Before entering the courtyard, Yao Shu clearly heard the happy laughter of the young women in the small courtyard not far away.

Yao Shu was ushered into the main house, where he saw a lukewarm charcoal brazier, and the county magistrate's wife was sitting on an embroidery stool, embroidering flowers boredly.

"Ma'am, I haven't seen you for two days, how are you?"

The county magistrate's wife got up to say hello, and then sat down again.

She didn't exchange many pleasantries, she just asked: "It's getting colder every day, why are you here? But what's the matter?"

Yao Shu smiled and said, "Don't dare to bother Madam, it's just that I'm going home from town tomorrow, so I'm here to visit you today."

The county magistrate's wife smiled, although the expression on her face was still tired, she looked much better: "Your rouge is really good. Even my appearance looks younger after using your rouge. How old are you?"

She asked someone to bring tea to Yao Shu, put down the embroidered cloth in her hand, and sat down beside Yao Shu.

"Sometimes I also envy the life you lead." The county magistrate's wife touched the hot teacup, and put her finger on the rim of the cup. "At least you are free, and you don't have anything to worry about."

Yao Shu shook his head lightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Madam looks at me as if I'm unrestrained, but everyone has their own difficulties. Now that the three children are growing up day by day, they have to find a way to support them. How can I live forever? How about relying on the family? On the contrary, I envy Madam..."

The county magistrate's wife laughed like a self-deprecating smile: "Envy me? What do I envy?"

Those who do business are the most well-informed. Yao Ji Cloth Village is a very famous cloth shop in Qingtong Town, and even Liucheng County. There are merchants and official women from time to time. Mrs. Ling's matter.

She was originally a relative of Lord Zheng, a great Confucian in the Yan Kingdom, a side branch of the Zheng family, and her elder brother became an official in the family; later she married a scholar, and by virtue of her family relationship, she forced her husband to buy a county magistrate.

But as time went by, his true nature gradually emerged, and County Magistrate Yao began to take concubines from house to house.

The county magistrate's wife is proud and arrogant, and always thinks that it is her own problem that she can't catch her husband's heart, so she refuses to let her natal family get involved in her family affairs too much, and just blindly quarrels with the county magistrate.

After so many years, I am tired of thinking about it.

Yao Shu was half relieved, half sincerely said: "Madam's family background is noble, even though she is married now, and there may be some unsatisfactory things, but after all, she has no worries about food and clothing, and has both children, how can you not be enviable?"

The county magistrate's wife avoided the important and took the light, shook her head and sighed: "Do you also envy the appearance of my family?"

Yao Shu said with a smile: "You are too worried now. I was tortured at my in-law's house the day before I gave birth to the three treasures, and I was so haggard. After returning home, didn't I slowly raise it? In fact, there should be troubles. There are still some, and they have never been resolved, but many times, if you get out of trouble, it will be a brighter future."

The county magistrate's wife was moved in her heart and asked, "How to get out?"
