Chapter 332 Min Qiao's Suspicion
What is the relationship between the Min family and Xi'an?
What exactly is the Min family doing?
What is the Min family planning to do by sending their carefully nurtured Min Pan'er to Xi'an?
At that moment, Min Qiao felt completely overwhelmed.
What is it about the Min family that I don't know?
Thinking of this, Madam Min suddenly remembered something.
Whether in her past life or this one, she had almost no contact with the Min family!
Because Min Ji told her that when the Xuanping Marquis's mansion was in dire straits, he, as a young boy, went to the Min family's collateral branch for help, only to be ruthlessly driven away. To avoid being implicated by the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, the Min family's collateral branch even took the initiative to sever ties with it.
This is also why she was able to drive away Min Hui and his uncles who came to cause trouble before the family division.
Therefore, whether in her past life or this life, she has never had any contact with the Min family.
Whether they are members of the Min family in Beijing or members of the Min family in their hometown!
She never had any contact with them.
It was as if her world consisted only of the Xuanping Marquis's residence, and could only exist within that one place.
But think about it carefully, is this really reasonable?
They forbade her from having any contact with her family, and forbade her from having any contact with other members of the Min family...
Looking back now, I'm afraid this was all a trap set by Min Ji, a cage he had built for her, with the aim of confining her to the Xuanping Marquis's residence and making her willingly serve him like a slave.
She could understand Min Ji's actions.
But what are the Min family doing?
The tribe's most beautiful women were raised like commodities and then sent to the Western Devil...
What is their purpose in doing this?
The most crucial question is, what exactly is their connection with the Xi'an side?
Xixi has always been a major concern for Dayan.
The Min family is entangled with the Xi'an side... Could it be that the Min family has treacherous intentions?
Thinking of this, Madam Min felt a chill run down her spine.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Min Qiao's mind. Could it be that Emperor Xiaozhao knew about the Min family's actions in Huizhou, which was why he sent her back?
No! Madam Min shook her head, rejecting the idea.
Before Emperor Xiaozhao forced her to leave the capital, she had already sent Weijia and Ajiu to Huizhou to prepare for her escape.
So, her coming to Huizhou and discovering the impropriety of the Min family was all a coincidence.
Why would the Min family betray their country and collude with the enemy?
No, it's too early to say that the Min family is colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.
It's best to wait until she arrives in Huizhou and meets with the Min family before making any decisions.
Regardless, through Min Pan'er's account, she was certain of one thing: the Min family was hiding things she didn't know.
And these are things that Min Ji doesn't want her to know!
"Please, Madam, save me! I don't want to be sent to the Western Paradise!"
Just as Min Qiao was lost in thought, Min Pan'er's raised voice finally brought her back to her senses.
"Are they going to send you to Xixi?"
“Yes.” Min Pan’er nodded with tears in her eyes and said, “A few days ago, the Min family spread the word that they wanted to find me a husband, which was a plan to send me to Xi’an by marrying me off to a distant place.”
Madam Min suddenly realized that Jiang Hongling had mentioned before that the Min family had just announced their intention to arrange a marriage for Min Pan'er, and Min Pan'er had gone missing within two days.
So the person got up and ran away on their own?
Seeing that Madam Min Qiao did not speak, Min Pan'er continued to say, "I knew my time was running out, so I used the excuse of going out to buy things to shake off the maids and servants and escaped."
"I originally wanted to escape to the Xuanping Marquis's residence in the capital to seek help from the Dowager Lady, but on the way I heard that the Dowager Lady had been stripped of her title by the Emperor and sent back to Huizhou."
"So I hurriedly rushed back."
"Unexpectedly, we encountered villains on the road."
"In a moment of panic, I bumped into the madam's motorcade."
"It is my destiny that I am not destined to die, and I unexpectedly met the Grand Madam."
"Please, Madam, save me! I beg you!"
As Min Pan'er spoke, she began to kowtow to Min Qiao Shi.
She knew that Min Qiao was her only chance.
If even Madam Min Qiao cannot save her, then she will have no chance to change her fate.
"Get up." Madam Min raised her hand.
Ah Shuang quickly stepped forward and helped the person up.
"Madam, are you willing to help me?" Min Pan'er looked at Min Qiaoshi with expectant eyes.
Madam Min did not answer directly, but only said, "We will arrive in Huizhou City tomorrow. You will come back to the Qiao residence with me then."
"Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
Overjoyed, Min Pan'er wept tears of joy, each tear like a glistening pearl rolling down her cheek. She was truly a beautiful sight. Even Min Qiao Shi felt a pang of pity watching her.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Madam Min Qiao couldn't help but shudder.
Good heavens, what kind of prodigy has the Min family raised!
She can be so beautiful even when she's crying; she's practically a born femme fatale!
A thought suddenly flashed through Min Qiao's mind, but it was too fast for her to grasp.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't remember anything. He had no choice but to give up and asked Ah San to take the person back to rest.
After everyone left, Ah Shuang said with a worried look, "Madam, do we really want to get involved in Miss Min's affairs?"
Didn't the Dowager say that she left the capital to live a quiet life?
Before they even reached Huizhou City, the old lady had already stirred up trouble.
Of course, Ah Shuang, who was tactful, would not say these things aloud.
She simply wanted to remind Madam Min not to forget their original intention in leaving the capital.
Madam Min Qiao knew what A Shuang was worried about, but the matter involved what Min Ji had been hiding from her. She didn't want to die an unclear death in her previous life and live such a muddled life in this one as well.
She could ignore the Xuanping Marquis's mansion and the Min family, but she wouldn't allow herself to be kept in the dark like a fool.
So she nodded seriously, "I want to know what the Min family is doing."
Upon hearing this, Ah Shuang pondered for a moment before saying, "Madam, I have a suggestion."
“Tell me about it,” Min Qiao said, looking at A Shuang.
Ah Shuang is not a talkative person and rarely offers any opinions or suggestions.
Hearing her offer a suggestion suddenly piqued my curiosity.
“Madam, if we enter the city in such a large group, we will definitely attract attention. Everyone will know who came from the capital with you. It will be difficult for us to find out any information.”
"Why don't we have some people enter the city separately from the main force? That way, it won't attract attention."
Madam Min thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay. Go and make the arrangements."
The next day, when the group set off for Huizhou, several servants were quietly missing from the group.
The person leading the group was none other than Amo, who used to be the gatekeeper at the Qiao family mansion in the capital.
Amo, mingling among the crowd leaving the city at the gate, watched Min Qiao's carriage disappear into the distance, and his heart was filled with boundless pride.
Chen San was able to control the beggars in the capital, gather intelligence, and serve the Grand Madam.
He could also establish his own intelligence network in Huizhou! He believed he would do no worse than Chen San!
