Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 126
Chapter 126 Advantageous
“Since I found your head, certainly won’t go to waste. Aunt Zhou, you are Mammy Gong’s sister-in-law. Mammy Gong is now the eldest mammy beside her grandmother. Her status and face are among the best among the granny of the various aristocratic families in Jincheng. It is only a matter of one sentence to take care of the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the mother’s family. Why hasn’t Nanny Gong mentioned anything these past few years? If it wasn’t for me investigating the long room, I wouldn’t have known that Nanny Gong’s mother had a big brother and sister-in-law. ”
Aunt Zhou maintained the smile on her face.
‘”My family has a hard time. I can guess your family’s situation. I don’t dare to say anything else, but you also know the Qiao family’s style. Businessmen are concerned about benefits. If I can get the desired benefits and eliminate risks, I will still protect my own people.”
“Third Miss” Aunt Zhou’s eyes shone.
Qiao Xi smiled faintly, “Let’s get down to business first. Since Aunt Zhou did this, Aunt Zhou must have kept her back.”
Aunt Zhou withdrew her smile and looked at Qiao Xi vigilantly.
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “Aunt Zhou doesn’t have to be so wary of me. Since I came to see you personally, it means that I’m very sincere. Otherwise, do you think you can keep those things?”
You can’t keep it.
That was the last move she had left for herself, and it was also the reason why she had not taken the initiative to look for her little sister-in-law for all these years.
Beg for wealth and honor.
Although Aunt Zhou was a village woman who had never seen the world before, under the stimulation of greed, she was very good at judging the situation and knew that choosing was in her favor.
Back then, those items were handed over to Little Aunt. After receiving a sum of money, the silver goods were settled, and the connection between them and Little Aunt was completely severed.
She was originally a daughter who had been sold. She was involved in too many things, and the more troubles she faced, the more troublesome it would be. Moreover, she was also involved in such a dirty matter. The Qiao Clan’s backyard would be bleeding like a river if the incident happened in the east.
However, she had an extra thought. She secretly kept a portion of those items and guarded them like a life-saving talisman. Although she had lost contact with her little sister-in-law over the years, she had been paying close attention to the situation in Qiao Family.
Qiao Family’s business was getting bigger and bigger, and her little sister-in-law’s status in Qiao Family was getting higher and higher. It wasn’t that she wasn’t jealous, but she hadn’t thought of using those things to exchange for benefits. What she wanted was not money for beggars, but glory and wealth!
Therefore, during the most difficult time, she did not think of using those things.
She could not see the situation of the Qiao Clan clearly, but she knew that the Qiao Clan was now the world of long houses. She also wanted to find the Qiao Clan’s eldest master and sell him the things in her hands. The other party would buy peace of mind and peace, and she would buy riches and honor. Although Old Madame Qiao still had a portion of these items in her hands, it would be very easy for her to destroy the corpse and extinguish the traces of the corpse with Master Qiao’s methods.
However, she did not expect that Qiao Jinwen from Fourth Floor would be the one looking for her.
Previously, when she found out about the other party’s identity, she knew that those things would be lost. Unfortunately, at the same time, she was also calculating her best interests.
She stared at Qiao Yunxi unblinkingly for a long time before slowly saying, “Third young miss, there are indeed some things in the hands of the civilian woman, but …”
“I’ll buy it,” Qiao Yunxi said straightforwardly. “Auntie Zhou thinks those things can be sold for a price. Just say it. Of course, I’m not a fool. Auntie Zhou is a smart person. She knows what it means to stop at the right price.” I am determined to obtain those things. If not for the fact that the people of eldest branch have been bouncing around fiercely recently, I would not have come looking for you. I might as well say that I’m prepared to attack eldest branch. Since I dare to do so, I’m naturally prepared. I just don’t want to be obstructed by these things, so I came looking for you sincerely. Auntie Zhou, you broke your promise when you did this business with Mammy Gong. Although Qiao Family is just an ordinary merchant, it is still very easy to kill someone silently. ”
“Third Miss …” Aunt Zhou knelt on the ground with a “pu tong” sound. “Civil woman …”
Qiao Yunxi waved his hand and looked down at her condescendingly.
Aunt Zhou, who had been full of confidence, was now completely withered.
She knew that the things in her hands could ascend to the heavens in a single step, and could also kill their family.
When she corresponded with Qiao Jinwen, she didn’t dare to say anything unnecessary. First, she had a bad appetite. Second, she had to protect herself. Of course, she also had the intention of starting the price on the ground.
The letters were all sent by middlemen. She didn’t think Qiao Jinwen would come to her so quickly. However, before she could think of a way to trade, Qiao Jinwen came to her.
She had come too quickly, too suddenly, too forcefully, and she was not mentally prepared at all!
“Auntie Zhou, I’ve already explained my thoughts and plans. Now, you can talk about yours.”
The reason why Qiao Yunxi patiently talked so much to Aunt Zhou was not because she was afraid of anything, nor did she dare to make a move. Instead, she deliberately circled around. Not to mention Aunt Zhou was confused, even she herself said she was confused.
She knew that her evil taste had come, and she couldn’t even stop it!
Of course, the more Aunt Zhou said and revealed, the more information she would get, and the truth would be revealed!
“The things are at the housewife’s house.” Aunt Zhou said resignedly.
“Coincidentally, I haven’t looked around yet. Let’s go get it together.”
Without giving Aunt Zhou a chance to speak, Qiao Yunxi put down his teacup, stood up and left the house.
Aunt Zhou and Nanny Shen sat on the oxcart in the town. They were two pennies each. Qiao Xi sat in the carriage and followed behind them from afar. She left the town and drove towards the village.
A little far from the village entrance, Qiao Yunxi’s carriage stopped. Astragalus handed over some pastries and she picked up a piece of Thousand Layers Cake to pass the time.
The driver of the carriage was Wei Nanshui.
Qiao Xilin called him back from the manor before she left. Ma Biao was sitting beside him. Qiao Xi brought him back from Chaotian Sect, and he was considered Wei Nanshui’s half master. Apart from these two, there were also two guards, which could be considered a very safe line-up.
In less than an incense stick of time, Mammy Shen returned.
After getting into the carriage, Mammy Shen took out a tarpaulin and handed it to Qiao Yunxi. “Little miss, this is it.”
“Have you seen it?”
“Yes, young miss. This old servant personally verified it.”
This time, Qiao Xi was relieved. She didn’t ask what was in the oil paper bag and just told Nanny Shen to put it away.
“Little miss …”
Qiao Yunxi said clearly, “I must tell father about this. I’m worried about writing a letter. We’ll go straight to the north of Sichuan.”
In any case, she came out under the banner of visiting her parents in northern Sichuan, so it was impossible for her not to make a trip.
“The old witch is the person involved, so let’s not talk about it. Nanny Gong is the person who handled it. I didn’t expect Qiao Jinwen to know about it.” Nanny Shen whispered in the carriage.
At this moment, only Qiao Xi and Nanny Shen were in the carriage. Huang Qi knew that Master had something to say, so she took the initiative to go outside and squeeze together with Ma Biao and the others.
Nanny Shen’s voice was very low. In addition, the carriage was moving very loudly on the road. She wasn’t worried that Wei Nanshui and Huang Qi would hear it.
As a member of the Gu Clan, Mammy Shen was only on guard against Wei Nanshui and Huang Qi, who were not from the Gu Clan.
‘”I guess she accidentally found out. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let anyone investigate. I still underestimated Qiao Jinwen’s combat strength. I didn’t expect that she would actually have the ability to investigate this place. However, it also saved me a lot of trouble.”
“This old servant intercepted the letter Qiao Jinwen contacted. I replied according to the young miss’ instructions. I was afraid that Qiao Jinwen would suddenly come over.”
‘”Even if she comes, she won’t be afraid. She’s here for nothing. I’m not afraid that she knows that I cut off her beard. Originally, these were her greatest reliance. When she came to my hands, it was time. The bomb blew Old hag to pieces. The situation was good for me, and we had the advantage.”
Nanny Shen nodded, “This matter needs to be considered for a long time.”
“Ask Father’s meaning first. If you need anything, Grandfather should also let me know.”
First, let them know the truth first, so that they wouldn’t be caught off guard by the time they were killed. Second, let them be mentally prepared. Perhaps they would still need to borrow Gu Family’s strength at that time.
Returning to the town, she packed up her things and left the courtyard. Qiao Xi and the others set out in the dark.
The journey from south Sichuan to north Sichuan took a long time. Qiao Yunxi could also endure hardships. The carriage was heading north without stopping. Wei Nanshui and Ma Biao took turns driving the carriage. They actually caught up with the advance troops who had disguised themselves earlier.
Qiao Xi laughed and said, “What are you doing? You were robbed?”
“Young miss, you weren’t robbed,” Lycium barbarum said dirtily with a dirty face. “There were assassinations of all sizes along the way. I really have to thank the heavens for being able to see young miss alive.”
“So serious?” Qiao Xi slightly withdrew her smile and said, “Assassination?”
‘”Miss Hui, it was really an assassination.” Lycium barbarum learned this word from the guards. Afraid that Qiao Xi wouldn’t believe it, she hurriedly swore, “Those people are holding broadswords and longswords in their hands. When they see this servant, they cut at her body. Fortunately, this servant is alert and won’t get out of the carriage even if they are beaten to death. Outside, they are handed over to those guard eldest brothers. Without their protection, this servant, this servant …”
After sobbing twice, Lycium barbarum said in fear, “Later, when those people saw that Servant couldn’t be forced to show up, they shot first, disrupting our rhythm, and then attacked at close range.” Young miss, if it weren’t for those people dragging us down, we wouldn’t have walked here for more than ten days. We would have arrived in northern Sichuan long ago. Miss, Servant is not afraid of anything. He is afraid that he will never see Miss again. ”
“How did you speak?” Mammy Shen scolded.
‘”Miss, this servant has no other intentions. This servant is just afraid that I won’t have the chance to serve Miss any longer.” Lycium barbarum shuddered and hurriedly explained, “Miss, this servant has no other intentions.”
“Alright, I get it. Now that we’ve caught up with you, you don’t have to worry.”
‘”Miss,” Lycium barbarum suddenly said with a serious expression, “it’s better for Servant to continue pretending to be you. Anyway, Servant is used to it anyway. Those people were killed by us several times, but they didn’t give up. They’ve assassinated us several times along the way.”
Lycium barbarum is still biting “assassination” not letting go, the more serious the words, the more Miss attaches importance to it.
“How many times?” Qiao Yunxi rubbed his chin and smiled playfully. “Just how persistent is he? It seems that no matter who wants my life, he must have paid a large sum of money in advance. That’s why he valued me so much.”
