A modern culinary family heir dies in a car accident and transmigrates into an ancient farm girl. Xue Hua declares, "No worries!"
An evil grandmother tries to take advantage of the si...
"Also, the way you look at me, if it were a man, even if he had no evil intentions, the look he gave me would be scorching and aggressive. But you are different, you are just purely appreciating me."
At this point, there was no point in Xue Huan denying it anymore. "Yes, I am indeed a woman, but in order to come in and see you more conveniently, I disguised myself as a man."
She sat down at the table. "My last name is Zhao. Miss Shaoyao, after seeing the bamboo plaque, you should know why I came to see you."
Shaoyao sat down next to her, "Do you have any news about my sister?"
"Just the fact that she has a big appetite and great strength isn't enough for me to confirm. I need more detailed information, like whether your sister has any birthmarks or something like that."
"My sister doesn't have a birthmark, but she does have a mole on her chest, but I can't tell anyone about it."
Xue Huan raised her eyes to look at her, "Left breast?"
Shaoyao couldn't remain calm anymore: "How did you know? Do you know where my sister is?"
"A'man——" Xue Huan shouted towards the next room.
Ah Man, who was eating cakes, immediately ran over and asked, "Sir?"
"Miss Shaoyao, could you please prepare a basin of water and a clean handkerchief for me?"
At this time, Shaoyao looked at Ah Man and guessed something, so she hurriedly asked Qin'er to prepare.
A basin of water was brought in, and Xue Huan removed the makeup on Ah Man's face. Ah Man didn't understand why, but she still sat there obediently and let her do whatever she wanted.
When her face was revealed, Shaoyao stared at her without blinking. Ah Man felt a little scared by her gaze and couldn't help but glare back.
Tears suddenly fell from Shaoyao's eyes. She rushed over and hugged her, "Man'er, I am your sister..."
Ah Man originally wanted to push her away, but was stunned when he heard the words.
Man'er? Wasn't that her nickname before she was sold? How did this woman know that?
Xue Huan walked out of Qinghuan Pavilion and looked up at the sky. It was a full moon tonight, and the moonlight was cold yet gentle.
One of the tasks was completed, and now it was time for her to complete the second task.
Fang family.
Fang Jingming was lying on the bed, unconscious. Fang's mother sat beside the bed worriedly, having changed several handkerchiefs to wipe her tears.
The third girl, Fang Wenwen, was accompanying him. There were shadows under her eyes, and it was obvious that she had not slept well in the past few days.
When the eldest son Fang Ruiming walked in, Fang's mother immediately looked over with hope in her eyes. "How's it going, Rui? Did you find the jade pendant?"
These days, Fang Ruiming has been busy with this matter. Facing his mother's hopeful eyes, although he was reluctant, he could not deceive her and could only shake his head.
The glimmer of light in Fang's mother's eyes suddenly went out, and she broke down crying while covering her handkerchief.
Fang Ruiming opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her. Words were ultimately pale and powerless. Now the only way to find the Pisces jade pendant was to find relief.
But he was not sure about finding the jade pendant.
It’s not that the Fang family hasn’t thought about looking for Master Guanyun, but Master Guanyun is traveling and his return date is uncertain, so even if they wanted to find him, they don’t know where to start.
Is my second brother really going to remain in a coma like this?
Thinking of this, Fang Ruiming felt heavy in his heart.
At this moment, a servant hurried in, his voice filled with excitement: "Master, someone from the Tianxia Pawnshop has come and said they found the Second Master's jade pendant!"
"really?!"
Everyone in the room was surprised.
Fang Ruiming comforted his mother, "Mom, I'll go get the jade pendant right away."
"Okay, go now."
The jade pendant was naturally found by Xue Huan and handed over to the pawnshop.
After leaving Qinghuan Pavilion last night, she went to Jiuwan River. At that time, there were quite a few people gathered by the river. Most of them were attracted by the high bounty offered by the Fang family. They wanted to take a chance on wealth and see if they could find the Pisces jade pendant.
Xue Huan made some inquiries and determined the location where Fang Jingming had fallen into the water. Although the jade pendant he dropped might not still be there, it was definitely not too far away.
Entering the Five Elements Pearl in a secluded and deserted location, and controlling it to enter the water, Xue Huan stayed in the space, looking at the scene outside by breaking the illusion.
After several hours of searching, she finally found the jade pendant.
After having a simple meal in the space, she went to the pawnshop and handed the jade pendant to Wang Yan, as well as the bamboo plaque she got from Shaoyao.
When placing an order at the pawnshop, Shaoyao also received a bamboo token, which was a receipt, just like a purchase receipt.
Last night, Shaoyao had confirmed that Ah Man was her sister, so she gave the bamboo plaque to Xue Huan on the spot and paid her a reward of three thousand taels.
While Fang Ruiming was rushing over, Xue Huan had already used this money, plus the three thousand taels she already had, to buy three things including the glass lamp.
When Fang Ruiming arrived, Xue Huan did not show up. She was just after the reward and did not want to have any personal connections with the Fang family.
Wang Yan placed the jade pendant on the counter, and Fang Ruiming confirmed at a glance that this was his second brother's Pisces pendant!
"Payment first, goods second." Wang Yan said in a businesslike manner.
Fang Ruiming immediately presented a wooden box containing a stack of banknotes. Wang Yan opened it and counted the banknotes on the spot, confirming the amount was correct. "Alright, take the things."
When the jade pendant fell into his hand, Fang Ruiming felt his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
He bowed to Wang Yan behind the counter before leaving.
This time I came to Tianxia Pawnshop to place an order, originally just with the intention of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect Tianxia Pawnshop to be so powerful, and I actually found it.
It seems that if I encounter any difficult problems in the future, I can try here.
As soon as Fang Ruiming left, Xue Huan came out, spread out her palm towards Wang Yan, and hooked her fingers, the meaning was obvious.
Wang Yan took out three hundred-liang silver notes from the box and then handed the box over.
Xue Huan looked at the three hundred taels he had taken away and said, "Uncle Wang, you're taking so much commission? Your shop is really too shady, isn't it?"
A deposit is required to accept a task, and the pawnshop will take a 1% commission after the task is completed. This made her tempted and she also wanted to open a shop like this.
Wang Yan glanced at her sideways. "What else? Do you think I'm doing charity? Don't you still have a mission to complete? Why don't you go?"
Xue Huan spread out her hands. "Didn't they say that 80% of the deposit would be refunded once the mission is completed? Where's my money?"
"Come on, come on, I'll return it to you when the time comes. I won't keep any of your money."
Xue Huan left with a smile.
Wang Yan withdrew his gaze and found that there were several small porcelain jars on the table, filled with preserved fruits, dried meat and candies. He pinched a candy and put it in his mouth.
It is quite sweet.
Xue Huan rode back home in a good mood.
The Fang family made a full 30,000 taels from this order alone. It seems that even if they can't make it in the future, they can still take on some orders and become a bounty hunter to support their family.
"A'man? Why are you back?" Xue Huan asked in surprise when she saw A'man coming to greet her after returning to the mansion.
