Summary of the previous chapter: After Cui Chengxiu came out of Wei Zhongxian's house, he was kidnapped by a mysterious woman...
Cui Chengxiu’s family.,
"What, you said Master... is he okay?" A middle-aged woman rubbed her hands anxiously, with a worried look on her face.
In front of the middle-aged woman, a weak little maid nervously tugged on the corner of her clothes and replied in a trembling voice: "In reply to Madam, Master Cui should be fine. He will probably have to stay for a while, but Master Cui is still alive."
The slave came here to give this to me. I can’t read either, so I don’t know what it is..."
"Oh? Really? Let me see..."
"It's Madam!" The little maid shook her hands and handed a folded letter into the middle-aged woman's hand.
The middle-aged woman opened the letter and read it, her expression suddenly changed from sadness to joy. She smiled and said: "What do I think it is? I have been making trouble for a long time. It's just that the manager didn't bring enough money to the manager. Well, I'll ask someone to do it again."
Prepare some things, it’s just a place to put things...why didn’t I figure it out?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said: "These are indeed the master's notes. Well, the ink is not completely dry yet. It seems that the master really needs this money... You, come here!"
The little maid looked at the middle-aged woman in horror and did not dare to step forward.
"What are you afraid of? Come here and let me see..."
"It's Madam!" The little maid walked up to the middle-aged woman, who reached out to hold her, touched his hand and said, "What a beautiful person. It's a pity that she works as a slave in Eunuch Wei's house. Well,
You did a good job reporting the news this time, I want to give you a reward..."
The middle-aged woman said, took out a large coin from her arms and put it into the hands of the young maid.
The little maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to accept it. She quickly knelt down and said, "Madam, I don't dare to ask for it. If my father-in-law finds out about this, I will be dead."
"Hey, if you don't tell me about this, no one will know. Take it and add some new clothes!"
"Thank you, madam, sir! Thank you, madam, sir!" the young maid said with tears of gratitude.
"Well, okay, let's go back! You sneak out on behalf of my master. Don't stay too long, otherwise Eunuch Wei will find you and there will be no explanation."
"It's Madam!" The maid bowed out respectfully.
...
After walking out of the Cui family's mansion, the maid just rounded a corner when she heard a faint voice coming from behind her ear.
"Shui'er, you're a little slower than the time we agreed on!"
The little maid raised her lips, stood up straight, and threw an object into the shadows.
A Miaoling woman walked out of the shadows. The woman was wearing a green shirt. The corners of her mouth were raised, with a playful look on her face. She was holding the object that the maid had just thrown in her hand. By the moonlight, it was revealed that the object was Cui Chengxiu's just now.
The big coin that my wife "rewarded" to the little maid.
"Longyue, you are so annoying." The little maid not only did not get angry because of the woman in green shirt's playfulness, but instead said coquettishly, "That big piece of money was given to me by Cui Chengxiu's wife. How about it, isn't it good?"
"Ha... this Cui Chengxiu is indeed extraordinary. He can be greedy, and this wife can also cause trouble. Well, the captain has to work hard if he wants to match their wits and courage with them."
"Why, Haoyue, you regret not going home. You are a young lady. I don't understand. You insist on staying here despite being such a good young lady."
"Huh? What's the point of Miss? It's so fun to be with the captain..."
"Hazy Moon, do you like the captain?"
"Shui'er, aren't you?"
The little maid shook her head: "Even if I like it, I won't do anything about it, because I am a disaster star, and everyone in the family says I am a disaster star..."
"Shui'er, you are too arbitrary. The captain has already said that there is no such thing, so I think you should stop caring about it."
"Hey, let's not talk about this for now... This is where Cui Chengxiu's wife is about to deliver money. You disguise yourself, receive the goods, and leave!"
"What about you, Shui'er?"
"Me? I have to continue to lurk in Wei Zhongxian's house to find out the news."
"Well, okay"
.......
Two hours later...
Cui Chengxiu opened his eyes drowsily. At this time, all the ropes tied to his body had been loosened. Cui Chengxiu rubbed his numb arms and stood up.
After walking out of the private house where he was imprisoned, Cui Chengxiu was surprised to find that the place where he was kidnapped was not far from his home.
Cursing in a low voice, Cui Chengxiu walked towards the door of his house.
When he got home, Cui Chengxiu's wife looked at him in surprise and asked: "Master, why are you back before dawn? I thought you were going to stay up all night."
Cui Chengxiu was extremely angry: "What are you talking about? Ask the kitchen to make me something to eat."
"Oh, okay, by the way, sir, you sent someone to get the money before, but I have already given it away."
"What? Did you give it away? How much did you give?"
Cui Chengxiu's wife blinked: "According to the instructions in your letter, the total is 80,000 taels."
"Eight? Eighty thousand taels?" Cui Chengxiu wanted to die when he heard such a big number.
Thinking about all the hard work, I was afraid that others would know, and it took me several years to get less than 200,000 taels. This gave me back to my original shape.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Cui Chengxiu wanted to say something, but he was tied up by a woman for more than two hours, and his family was defrauded of 80,000 taels of money. If he told this, it would be embarrassing and make people laugh. That's all.
Forget it, anyway, he has recognized Wei Zhongxian as his father. No matter what, the father will take care of his son.
Thinking of this, Cui Chengxiu felt relieved.
...
Ma's house, in the main hall.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and felt incredible at the same time. The several large boxes in front of him were all filled with white money, cash, cash.
Ma Xiaoquan asked the young woman in front of him: "Longyue, is this all caused by Shui'er...?"
The young woman shrugged: "Yes, Captain, I spent a lot of effort to get the cash."
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the young woman in front of him carefully. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for such a small and thin body to bring back several large boxes containing silver. But... the box was right in front of him, and Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but not believe it.
.
"Okay, I said, everyone has a secret, Haoyue, no matter what, thank you, um, how about you take a look and take some flowers with this money?"
"I don't, they are all big silver ingots, it's hard to pretend."
