My Ancestral Jade Pendant is a Space, No Panic During the Famine

Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...

Chapter 38: Encountering the Mayor's Daughter "Ye Lianmei"

"Qing'er, we can go find your eldest brother's master, Wu Dayong.

Let’s go see if they’ve left and see if they can get some for us.”

Yu Qingshu suddenly remembered his eldest son's master.

Yu Qingqing couldn't find the way, so Yu Qingshu showed her the way and they soon arrived at Wu Dayong's house.

The door of Wu Dayong's house was closed. Looking closely, he saw that the place where he used to work on iron was covered with dust.

It seems that Wu Dayong and his family are no longer here.

"Dad, is there any other place I can get it? It doesn't have to be a knife. After all, ordinary people can't just have knives. As long as it can be used for self-defense, it'll be fine."

Yu Qingqing also knew about ancient swords, which were usually only owned by officials or children from wealthy families. "I know where it is. Qing'er, turn right and go straight. We'll be there in a moment."

"Liu San's Shop" appeared in Yu Qingqing's sight after a while.

"Master, can you use a broadsword or something like that?" Yu Qingshu got off the ox cart and asked.

"What are you doing with that big knife? What's it for?" Liu San immediately became alert.

"Don't get me wrong, we saw that there are a lot of refugees recently, so we planned to use it for self-defense. You see, I was injured today because of this." Yu Qingshu was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained.

"You can, with an ordinary knife. But it's not cheap, it costs five taels of silver, and there is only one. If you want something else, I can also give it to you."

Liu San also relaxed and showed Yu Qingshu a slightly curved knife in his hand.

"Okay, I'll take one of these, and three more sickles like the ones I have." Yu Qingshu said as he took out the sickle he brought with him.

"It's a total of six taels of silver. How long do you need it? I have semi-finished products and it won't take long to process them."

Liu San looked at the sickle in Yu Qingshu's hand. It was convenient to have one ready-made.

"Master Liu, I'll give you some money. We can wait for a while, the sooner the better. We'll go somewhere else first and come back in about half an hour, okay?"

Yu Qingqing took out silver from her sleeve, actually taking the silver out from the space.

Yu Qingshu didn't stop him, after all, he didn't have any money on him.

"No problem, go shopping and come over to get it later."

After Liu San took the silver, he started to get busy.

"Qing'er, I'm sorry for the expense. Daddy will talk to your mother later." Yu Qingshu still felt that he couldn't spend his daughter's money like this.

"Dad, don't worry, it's okay. This is nothing. Let's go check out other things first." Yu Qingqing said and went back the way she came and took a look at the place she had come from before.

Walking and stopping along the way, Yu Qingqing saw that there were not many people on the street, and there were obviously fewer people setting up stalls than before.

After walking around for a while, Yu Qingqing started to feel hungry and prepared to go find something to eat.

At noon, outside the "Ke Lai Restaurant".

"Miss, please be kind and let us go! We didn't mean it."

An old woman who looked to be in her fifties was kneeling on the ground with a little girl beside her, begging bitterly.

"Look, can you afford to pay for the clothes our young lady is wearing?

Our lady forgives you, but who will bear the loss? Our lady is wearing this to meet someone, how are you going to compensate her?"

A maid in a green skirt was loudly accusing the woman on the ground.

It turned out that the woman's little granddaughter accidentally bumped into a young lady because she was playing.

The girl's hands were covered in dirty mud, which immediately made the lady's clothes dirty.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me." The little girl began to sob and apologize under the woman's gaze.

"Xiao Mo, send them to the yamen and tell them that they stole my things."

A soft female voice came from the carriage, but the words she said made people feel cold.

"Yes, miss. You go and tie them up and send them to the authorities, just as you said just now."

The one wearing the green skirt is the maid named "Xiao Mo".

Xiaomo called two servants and prepared to tie up the grandfather and grandson lying on the ground.

"No! Miss, please. Don't send us to see the official. Look at how much your skirt will cost.

I will compensate you. When my family is found, I will compensate you with money."

The woman on the ground began to get anxious, probably because she was afraid of being sent to see the authorities.

"Family? Wait until you find your family? You actually want our lady to wait for you? What are you dreaming about?"

The maid began to get angry.

"Hurry up and do it, what are you standing there for?"

Xiaomo didn't care whether she waited for her family or not. She only knew that if she offended the mayor's daughter, she would suffer the consequences.

That's right, the girl who was hit was called "Ye Lianmei," the fifteen-year-old daughter of the town mayor, Ye Mulin.

Today I happened to be planning to go to the Ke Lai Restaurant and watch people through the screen.

As soon as she reached the door, she was bumped into by someone. This was her favorite dress, and she had spent ten taels of silver on it.

It would be annoying if the clothes got dirty right after you put them on.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

Yu Qingqing happened to be here and observed for a while. After learning the whole story, she decided to help the poor grandparents.

"Who are you? Don't meddle in other people's business. This is the mayor's daughter, don't offend her."

A woman next to her kindly reminded Yu Qingqing.

"Can the mayor's daughter bully others at will?" Yu Qingqing didn't care who she was.

"Okay! Where did you come from to meddle in other people's business? We have no right for you to interfere in other people's business."

The maid Xiaomo pointed at Yu Qingqing and cursed her, without noticing that Yu Qingqing's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.

Yu Qingqing naturally couldn't bear it, but she couldn't confront him head-on, so she started sobbing.

Yu Qingshu saw his daughter crying and was about to step forward, but he saw his daughter blinking her big eyes at him, and he immediately understood what she meant and kept silent.

"Oh! Look, the mayor's daughter is bullying people! The other girl said a few words to help her, and she made the girl cry."

"That's right! That's right! If you don't know, you would think I'm bullying you! It's simply outrageous."

"Yes! It's not a big deal! People said they would compensate us if they found the family, but she insisted on taking them to court. Isn't this obviously bullying?"

Immediately, the aunts and uncles in the crowd started talking.

Ye Lianmei was in the carriage, her expression naturally unpleasant. She was going to see him. If her reputation was ruined because of this, that would be disastrous.

"Xiao Mo, open your mouth and apologize to this girl. I won't pursue the matter of the clothes.

Wait until the woman's family comes back, and if they're willing to compensate, then compensate; if they're not willing, forget it."
