Chapter 87: Southern Xinjiang Guwu

Su Qianqian took the most low-key carriage in the Marquis' Mansion and left through the corner gate.

As soon as the carriage left, Qin Yuzhuo and her two sisters also set off in the carriage wearing veil hats.

Behind them, Du, Liu and Meng comforted Madam Qin and sisters-in-law He, then left the Marquis' Mansion in a carriage, not forgetting to wear the standard black gauze hat with a long white gauze veil.

The two guards following Su Qianqian discovered the six people following behind them and quickly sent one to report to Qin Hanzhang.

Su Qianqian followed the map drawn by Su Xing and found a teahouse with storytellers in the East Market. She asked for the fourth room on the east floor and went upstairs with the two maids and the arrogant Dian Feng.

Then the waiter found three girls wearing the same veiled hats and asked for the fourth room...

Three women in veils asked for the fifth room...

Upon hearing the news, Qin Hanzhang changed out of his official uniform and rushed over. On the opposite street, he saw the waiter and the shopkeeper looking at each other in bewilderment. Why did so many customers come at this hour?

However, he didn't want to go into the teahouse. Su Qianqian had been like a vigilant rabbit these past two days, ready to run away at any time, which made him worried. The most important thing was to protect her and her family.

When he was in a teahouse opposite and saw the sneaky woman in fancy clothes and her maid walking into the teahouse, Qin Hanzhang realized that Su Qianqian did not come out to drink tea or listen to books.

Although there were eleven people and Dianfeng sitting in the private room on the east floor of the teahouse, it was quiet and silent.

Su Qianqian heard someone enter the next room, followed by Su Miaomiao's pretended gentle voice. She knew that she had guessed the riddle successfully.

Not long after, someone came in from next door again, but it was the voice of an old woman.

[This person is the notorious Southern Xinjiang Gu Old Lady, who is famous in the Southern Xinjiang Evil City for her witchcraft. However, her whereabouts are always elusive, and it costs a lot of money to invite her. Your sister and stepmother really spent a lot of money. 】

The system's voices were not as playful as usual.

Su Qianqian was also a little nervous and pushed the veil down again.

System: Do you think Su Miaomiao has X-ray vision?

"This girl is as ruthless as I am. However, in order to accumulate merit for my children and grandchildren, I have not sent anyone on their way for a long time. This money is indispensable. I can only do half of what needs to be done."

The old woman's voice was old and cold.

[Nanjiang Guwu was born into a family that raises Gu worms. In order to stand out in the family and get the right to inherit the family's rare Gu King, her parents fed her with Gu worms since she was born.

When her blood was filled with the poison, the Gu used her blood to feed the Gu. The Gu that was raised was blood-sucking and poisonous, vicious and cunning. For the sake of her parents, the old woman Gu had to cut her blood every day, and her arms were covered with wounds.

When she was sixteen years old, her father wanted to feed her to the Gu King in order to become the clan leader.

Gu's grandmother let the cat out of the bag out of soft-heartedness. Gu's grandmother controlled the Gu worms to kill her family, and then used the Gu worms to eat the Gu King. Her Gu worms became the new Gu King. 】

When the system said this, Su Qianqian didn't know what she felt, but her hair stood up involuntarily...

"Mother-in-law, these are two different things, but they are also one thing. If you only do half of it, it will cause too much trouble in the future. Mother-in-law has always been quick and decisive in doing things, and she knows how serious it is."

Su Miaomiao said softly.

"I don't allow others to tell me what to do. I always stick to my word. If you don't want to do it anymore, that's fine. Just give me half of the reward and I'll be gone."

Gu Wu snorted coldly and replied to Su Miaomiao.

At this time, someone else came upstairs. From the sound of footsteps, it was not just one person. They walked to the next room and stopped. Then, the angry voice of Gu Lao was heard: "How dare you touch my child!"

"Grandma Gu, what I ask for is not difficult for you. As long as this matter is done, I will ensure that you live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. If Grandma Gu does not agree, you will be taken care of by me for the time being."

Su Qianqian's stepmother, Zhang, spoke in a gentle voice that sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

"Don't think of doing anything, Granny Gu. If anything goes wrong with us, your body is not as immune to poison as yours. If we don't go back in an hour, you will have to accompany us."

[Gu's hair turned white due to cutting her blood when she was young. After she became the leader of the Gu tribe, she fell in love with a man in the tribe and gave birth to a son. Not long after, the man and his son disappeared at the same time.

Gu Wu searched all over southern Xinjiang and found the man and his son in a valley. The son had been sucked dry by the man and was dying.

Gu Wu used thousands of poisonous insects to devour men, but her son was stupid, deaf and dumb, and could only survive by relying on precious medicinal herbs. Therefore, Gu Wu did all kinds of evil things to make money, and was ranked fifth on the list of evil people in Southern Xinjiang.

Zhang actually had the means to kidnap Gu's son and use him to threaten Gu. What they wanted Gu to do must be extraordinary. 】

The system's voice is serious.

Don’t you know what they are going to do? 】Su Qianqian asked.

[What Gu received was a piece of paper, which she burned after reading. Written on it was the secret language of Southern Xinjiang, and Xiao Tong was not very talented or well-educated...] The system wanted to struggle for its own talent.

[Where is Su Miaomiao?] 】Su Qianqian interrupted the system’s struggle.

[Su Miaomiao went out frequently recently and met many people, so she couldn't find out what the notes she received were about.

However, when the mother and daughter were discussing going to the teahouse to meet Gu Wu, they were overheard by Su Runhe who was studying in the garden. The mother and daughter were not sure whether Runhe had heard the details, so they asked your grandmother to trap Runhe in the yard on the pretext of something and temporarily prevent him from going to the Imperial College for classes. 】

The system explained why Su Runhe sent that letter. It must have been checked, but there were no flaws.

"Okay, I agree to this deal, but if my son makes any mistake, I will make sure you and your daughter are both miserable."

Gu Wu's voice sounded like it came from hell, and Su Qianqian's hair stood up in fear...

"Don't worry, Grandma Gu. We, mother and daughter, dare not disobey the rules. As long as the task is successful, your young master will be returned safely. In addition, three fifty-year-old ginsengs will be added to the reward." Zhang hurriedly coaxed Grandma Gu.

The old woman's tone softened a little: "Bring the silver first. When you are done, send my son and ginseng outside the city. I won't bother with you."

Fifty-year-old ginseng is hard to come by, and even if you have silver you may not be able to buy good quality ginseng, so Gu Wu suppressed her anger for this.

"Don't worry, Grandma Gu, this is a silver note." Su Miaomiao's voice.

[In order to get this money, I lied to your grandmother that I wanted to buy a new writing desk for Su Runqian and Su Runfeng. Your grandmother also "borrowed" your mother's dowry money, which should have been given to you and your sister. 】

The system said angrily.

[It’s okay, just lend them to me first and return them to me later. 】

Su Qianqian picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but after thinking about it, she put it back and quickly took out a detoxification pill from the space and ate it.

The person next door got up and left. Su Qianqian heard the sound of someone going downstairs and also got up and followed him out.

Outside the teahouse, Su Miaomiao and Zhang, both wearing veiled hats, got into a carriage and left. The white-haired old woman was also dressed in the same way and went in another direction.

Teahouse waiter: Is there any gang gathering today?

Su Qianqian thought about it, then followed the white-haired Gu woman...
