Chapter 27 The owner made atonement, but the slave didn't do it on purpose
Qiao Ruyue was so angry that she stood up suddenly and packed all the clothes on the table back into their bags.
Liu Cui panicked: "Ms. Qiao, we have something to discuss, so don't leave! Just ask for whatever price you want~"
"A set of twelve taels, buy it if you like!"
"Buy~buy~"
Liu Cui quickly took out a fifty-tael banknote and handed it to Qiao Ruyue.
Qiao Ruyue put the money in her arms and strode out. She looked very unpleasant.
Huang Daniu said worriedly: "Old Madam, Madam Qiao won't be angry, right?"
Liu Cui thought so too. She asked, "Which village does Mrs. Qiao live in?"
Huang Daniu shook his head, Mrs. Qiao didn't say anything!
Liu Cui secretly regretted that she should not have taken Qiao just now and made Mrs. Qiao unhappy.
Hongxinglou's business suddenly exploded and she won praise from her boss, but now she's going to screw it up!
Huang Daniu rolled his eyes and said: "Old Madam, if we don't tell the boss, as long as the boss opens his mouth to Inspector Li, we will definitely find Madam Qiao!"
Liu Cui nodded: "You are still smart!"
After saying that, Liu Cui walked quickly towards Yan's Mansion.
The gate of Yan's Mansion is closed all year round. If it weren't for the two guards guarding the door, outsiders would have thought it was an empty house!
Others would never have imagined that the owner here is actually the owner of Hongxing Tower.
Inside the Yan Mansion.
"Master, the county magistrate has sent a letter saying that a locust plague has also occurred in Lianxing County, and asked you to go back immediately.
Your Excellency is worried that if there is a locust plague in our county, you will suffer in Jianjin Town."
Zhan Cheng reported.
Yan Haoyan glanced at him: "Guardian Zhan, you still don't know what my father is thinking? You can't even try to trick me into going back!"
"...But Master, you have been in Jianjin Town for more than a year, and the businesses you have invested in have either been closed down, or are half dead and about to close down.
For more than a year now, if the county magistrate's wife hadn't secretly subsidized you with her dowry, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a living shop."
Yan Haoyan had a gloomy face: "Isn't this young master starting a business now? Have you seen how much Hongxinglou earned the day before yesterday?"
"But it dropped by half yesterday." Zhan Cheng retorted.
Yan Haoyan was furious: "It hasn't been two years yet? If I still haven't accomplished anything in two years, I will go back and listen to my parents and get married to Miss Lin."
Zhan Cheng said no more. He just had to wait a few more months for the young master to completely give up on doing business, and then he could take the young master back to Qing'an County.
"Master, Madam Liu wants to see you."
The attendant came in to report.
Yan Haoyan was a little surprised, what was Liu Cui doing here at this time?
Yan Haoyan had a bad feeling.
"Let her in!"
Sure enough, when Liu Cui finished speaking, Yan Haoyan's entire face turned as black as carbon.
He just told Zhan Cheng to wait for two years before going back, but Liu Cui is forcing him to go back now!
Liu Cui knelt down with a "pop" sound: "My master atones for my sins, my slave didn't do it on purpose..."
As Liu Cui spoke, she carefully observed Yan Haoyan's expression. Seeing that Yan Haoyan's expression was not good, her whole heart sank to the bottom of her heart.
"Where are the clothes for this time? Bring them here."
"yes."
Liu Cui hurriedly served it.
Yan Haoyan saw the clothes that were more exciting and exquisite than last time. He glanced at Liu Cui coldly and cursed: "If you fail to succeed, you will fail. Even if she makes it out of coarse cloth, you have to hold it!"
"Yes, the slave family knows..."
"Zhan Cheng, go find Li Shanding and ask him to find out which village Tailor Qiao is from. I want to see him personally."
"yes."
Liu Cui was relieved when she saw Zhan Cheng going out, hoping that Inspector Li could really find Tailor Qiao!
…
Qiao Ruyue quickly returned home, only to find that the courtyard door was wide open and the house was so quiet that it was terrifying.
"Xiaoxi? Mom is back, where are you?"
"Xiaoxi?"
Qiao Ruyue searched the whole house but could not find Qiao Xiaoxi. She frowned: Where did the little girl go?
"Aunt Qiao, are you back? Sister Xiaoxi was taken to the Insect Temple by the villagers to worship the Insect God. Go and save her quickly..."
"Ergou, this is for our whole village."
He immediately stuffed the cloth head back into Wang Ergou's mouth, not allowing him to say any more to Qiao Ruyue, and prayed in his heart that the worship of the virgin would end soon.
She really couldn't bear to tie up the two dogs.
Insect Temple? Dedicated to the Insect God?
Qiao Ruyue was angry: These stupid people!!!
Inside the Insect Temple.
"Taoist Master Yunfeng, this is the virgin that our village enshrines to the Insect God. Please let the Insect God eat the virgin as soon as possible and bless our whole Yin Village!"
Village Chief Lu said and knelt down towards Taoist Priest Yunfeng.
All the surrounding villagers also knelt down!
The old Taoist with a square face stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "The old Taoist will do his best."
After saying that, he drew a long sword from his waist.
Qiao Xiaoxi was stunned. She even forgot to cry: Is she going to die?
Everyone held their breath and stared at the sword in Taoist Priest Yunfeng's hand, waiting for the sword to stab Qiao Xiaoxi to death.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest actually started practicing magic, wielding swords and flowers in the temple, and chanting incantations that they did not understand.
His young disciple, Taoist Master Feng Che, even drew a formation around Qiao Xiaoxi.
After the formation pattern was finished, Taoist Master Yunfeng shouted, pointed his sword at Qiao Xiaoxi, and went straight to Qiao Xiaoxi's heart.
"!!!"
Qiao Xiaoxi's pupils shrank sharply, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in her heart. At the last moment, she was so scared that she closed her eyes.
"stop!"
In the expectant eyes of everyone, a blue figure suddenly broke in, grabbed the sword's edge, and stopped the veteran sword in mid-air.
Qiao Ruyue?
Village chief Lu, Chen Tiezhu, Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Hang and other villagers looked at her in shock. Qiao Ruyue is back?
Taoist Master Yunfeng did not expect that his sword would be blocked by a village woman.
Taoist Master Feng Che looked at Qiao Ruyue's hand and was surprised: Isn't this village woman afraid of pain?
"Didi!"
Qiao Xiaoxi seemed to feel something dripping on her face, something wet and sticky. When she opened her eyes, she saw a very white hand grabbing the edge of the sword, and bright red blood was flowing out of that hand.
mother?
Qiao Xiaoxi looked up and saw that familiar face. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, letting out all the fear and grievance in her heart.
"Xiao Xi, don't be afraid. Mom is here. As long as she is here, no one can give offerings to the Insect God!"
After Qiao Ruyue said this, her cold eyes swept over everyone present, making everyone's hearts tremble.
"Mother Xiaoxi, this is for the whole village. Only by offering Xiaoxi to the Insect God can the Insect God bless our whole village with a good harvest.
Don’t you want to buy a field? After offering the Xiaoxi River to the Insect God, how about if each person in our village contributes some grain to give you two acres of medium-sized farmland?”
Village Chief Lu said.
Qiao Xiaoxi was horrified. Two acres of medium-sized farmland cost ten taels. Qiao Ruyue redeemed it with one tael. Now she can exchange it for ten taels, making a net profit of nine taels.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a profitable business.
Qiao Ruyue sneered: "My daughter is worth only ten taels?"
"What else do you want? Marrying a fourteen-year-old girl only costs ten taels of bride price. You, a girl who is only two years old, will give you ten taels."
Widow Qiao, you are a shameless person, do you still want a hundred taels?"
Mrs. Ding pointed at Qiao Ruyue and cursed loudly, making stars fly from her mouth.
Everyone gasped when they heard Bailiang, and looked at Qiao Ruyue with a touch of disapproval and reproach in their eyes.
