Chapter 377: It can be understood but not expressed in words

"Although these servants were Tan's dowry, she was a woman divorced by my He family. She cannot take her dowry and dowry with her. Why did Madam Wuning disregard the law and come to my house to snatch people away?"

He Liansheng's eyes were deep and he narrowed them slightly as he looked at the audacious woman.

"Master He, please do not wrongly accuse me of seizing someone's private property. The indentures of these slaves are in my hands. They are runaway slaves who left my house. The laws of the Great Qi Dynasty recognize the person who holds the indenture as the master. Master He, you know that, right?"

Su Qianqian waved the folded body contract towards He Liansheng.

He Liansheng knew that Su Qianqian was making excuses and using the indentures given by Tan to kidnap people, but he really had no way to stop her. As long as she verified the indentures, she could take all the slaves away, because Su Qianqian was looking for runaway slaves, not Tan's dowry.

Madam Mo came back supporting an old woman with blood on her head and body, while the other two maids supported each other and could barely walk.

"Master He, do you want to check them one by one? It's quite cold this day. If you want to check, please do it quickly. If you don't need to check, I will take these servants away."

Su Qianqian smiled and shook the body contract again.

"Madam Wuning, I have made note of what happened today. Madam, feel free to take them away. They are just a few lowly servants. What big trouble can they cause?"

He Liansheng made way. The two young masters wanted to say something, but He Liansheng stared at them, so they shut their mouths and stood aside angrily.

Su Qianqian was surrounded by maids and servants, followed by the servants behind her, and the guards she brought with her guarded on both sides, as she walked out of the He Mansion.

After the aunt and sister-in-law got on the carriage, Qin Yuzhuo asked excitedly, "Third sister-in-law, why did you come to rob these servants? Did Tan use them to pay off her debts?"

"These servants were all raised by the Tan family. What use do they have?" Su Qianqian said as she lifted the car curtain, and Su Mu came over immediately.

"Send someone to find a few ox carts to pick up these servants from the alley behind the mansion and take them outside the city to wait for Tan to come out of the city and take them away."

Su Qianqian gave the order softly, and Su Mu nodded and left immediately.

Outside the gate of Wuning Marquis's Mansion, the "guards" took off their clothes and left with Jiang Baipin who was waiting there. Before leaving, Jiang Baipin said to Su Qianqian:

"We did all this because of Master Su, not for your Wuning Marquisate. You don't have to appreciate it. We will not interfere in the Qin family's affairs in the future."

Jiang Baipin walked away, and Qin Yuzhuo was stunned: "Third sister-in-law, what is he doing..."

Su Qianqian curled her lips: "I don't know how our mansion offended him. He looks so bitter and resentful..."

After returning to Tinglan Courtyard, she changed her clothes and had lunch in her own yard. Qin Hanzhang did not come back, so Su Qianqian took another nap. After waking up, Su Mu came in to report, holding a wooden box in his hand.

"Tan is out of town, and this is for Madam. She said that as long as you take this to the Tan family in Jiangnan to find her, she will do her best to help Madam once."

Su Mu handed the wooden box to Su Qianqian.

"Tan is out of town...it's time to deliver the things promised to the Wuning Marquisate..."

Su Qianqian muttered to herself and took the wooden box.

There was a jade pendant in the wooden box, a simple jade Epiphyllum, but it was obvious that the jade was not an ordinary item.

Su Qianqian put the jade pendant into the space. Although the Jiangnan family did not need it for the time being, it was indeed a ferocious beast and could be used when necessary.

In the evening, Su Qianqian finally received the letter. There was only one word "OK" on the note. She put the note in the charcoal brazier and burned it.

Qin Hanzhang had not returned during dinner time. It was not until Su Qianqian was about to go to bed that Qin Hanzhang entered the room with a cold look on his face.

"My Lord, your injury has not healed yet. You should not overwork yourself. Why did you come back so late?"

Su Qianqian was wearing a thin inner garment and was leaning on the bed reading a storybook. It was a rare opportunity for her to have some leisure time to read such a melodramatic ancient novel, and for a moment she found it quite interesting. When she heard the voice, she looked up and asked.

"Today, the Tan family sent us 100,000 taels of silver. With this money, the Qin family army and the imperial guards can get more weapons, and the soldiers can get more rice and meat for the New Year. Speaking of which, we have to thank you."

Qin Hanzhang did not move closer to Su Qianqian, but stretched out his arms over the charcoal basin to get rid of the coldness in his body.

"Has it been delivered? The Tan family is trustworthy... But this is an imperial decree, I'm afraid we can't go against our word."

Su Qianqian stood up and walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qin Hanzhang.

"The military expenses are quite high. It takes a thousand days to maintain an army, but every day requires money. Although the Great Qi Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, when the capital of Xijing was conquered, only an empty shell was left. The last emperor of the previous dynasty emptied the treasury, and no one knows where it was hidden."

Qin Hanzhang paused for a moment, thinking of the map and the key, and smiled and shook his head: "I still don't believe that the key and the map are the hidden treasure. A hundred years have passed and no one has found them. I'm afraid someone has set up a trap to harm people."

"What you said does make sense. Perhaps someone really did forge the seal on purpose, so that the person who found it would be overjoyed and look for treasure everywhere. It would also bring disaster upon himself, and cause bloodshed in the martial arts world..."

Su Qianqian gestured exaggeratedly. She no longer had the initial fear and vigilance towards Qin Hanzhang, and she spoke more casually when they were alone.

Qin Hanzhang rarely saw Su Qianqian being so outgoing, so he walked over and picked up the book she was reading with amusement:

"He must have read some nonsense in a storybook. Otherwise, why would he use such a word..."

Qin Hanzhang's eyes fell on the book, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

It was too late for Su Qianqian to reach out and grab it, so she simply pulled her underwear as if nothing had happened and peeked at Qin Hanzhang's expression.

[Young Master Zhang embraced the soft jade and warm fragrance, and for a moment he was as happy as a god, rolling in the red waves...]

【shut up! Can this be pronounced? This can be understood but not expressed in words! 】

Su Qianqian interrupted the system's recitation, slowly moved to the bedside, and stretched pretentiously:

"I'm really tired today. I'll go to bed first." Su Qianqian said, took off her shoes, got on the bed, and crawled into the quilt, facing inside and pretending to sleep. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to use an invisibility talisman to become invisible.

Qin Hanzhang then hurriedly put down the notebook and said, "You should take a rest first. I still have some things to deal with. I will sleep in the study tonight."

Su Qianqian hummed, as if she was really too sleepy to speak, but in fact she was scratching the bed with her fingers.

Hearing the footsteps gradually disappear, Su Mu came in, put down the tent, and quietly moved the charcoal brazier out. Su Qianqian then opened her eyes. At this time, she didn't want to sleep at all.

It was after the hour of Chou when Su Qianqian fell into a drowsy sleep. Qin Hanzhang walked in quietly, the coldness on his body dissipated, and he tiptoed onto the bed and lay down obediently.

Soon, Su Qianqian seemed to smell a familiar scent. She turned over and leaned on Qin Hanzhang, rubbing his shoulders comfortably, and climbed up naturally with one leg and one hand.

In the dark night, Qin Hanzhang raised the corners of his lips and fell asleep peacefully.
