Chapter 178 Useless Min Yuexi
Madam Min was startled. "A dream!?"
Good heavens! When she was reborn, her attitude towards Min Rong and the others changed drastically. At the time, Granny Fang asked her why, and her explanation was that it was a dream.
What did she say back then?
She said she had a dream in which she was murdered by Min Rong, Min Hui, Min Yuexi and all of them.
Hearing similar rhetoric so suddenly, she almost instinctively believed half of it.
She can be reborn, and Min Yuexi can be reborn, so why can't Wei Jia have her own extraordinary adventure?
Seeing that Min Qiao was shocked but did not question her, Wei Jia felt a little relieved and did not hide anything. She immediately continued seriously, "Since I was a child, I have had the same dream on and off. In the dream, I live in another world."
“It’s completely different from Dayan. There’s no male chauvinism, no nobles or commoners.”
"The place is bustling with commerce and convenient transportation. Everyone has enough to eat and everyone can go to school..."
"And the money-making methods I proposed are just well-known marketing strategies there."
Madam Min swallowed hard. "There are places like this?"
Wei Jia smiled awkwardly, "I don't know if that place actually exists. I just kept having dreams about that place when I was little."
"Now that I think about it, maybe I lived in that place in my past life, and the Meng Po soup I drank after I died was diluted with water, so I didn't completely forget it. That's why I remembered those strange things."
Hearing Wei Jia's words, Madam Min Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder Wei Jia dared to make a bet with Songhetang as soon as she was bought back, saying that she would earn back 1,000 taels of silver with 50 taels of silver within a year.
Later, she gave her one hundred taels of silver, on the condition that she earn one thousand taels within a year. As for the outcome...
Well, it hasn't been a year yet.
However, since leaving the capital and handing over Yang An's affairs to Wei Jia, Wei Jia has earned her tens of thousands of taels of silver!
Wei Jia has already proven her abilities with her own facts, so there's no need to continue the bet.
Let's get back to the main topic.
After Min Qiaoshi initially agreed with Wei Jia's proposal, Wei Jia wrote a detailed plan for Min Qiaoshi to review the next day.
This includes the purpose of building a hot spring resort, the scale of the resort's construction, the facilities and manpower required for construction, the construction period, and the budget, etc.
After reviewing the documents, Madam Min was once again impressed by Wei Jia's abilities. She immediately entrusted Wei Jia with the entire task of building the hot spring resort, and instructed Yang An to assist her.
That afternoon, Wei Jia sought out Yang An to discuss the matter.
Three days later, Yang An brought the craftsmen and artisans to the village.
Planning, measuring, on-site surveying... In just a few days, the hot spring resort began construction in full swing.
Because the project was massive, a lot of manpower was needed. The children raised on the farm who were willing also went to help.
I can't do much else, but I can help pull weeds, level the ground, or cook for the craftsmen.
Thus, a lively scene unfolded on the hill behind Zhuangzi, with a group of adults and a group of children busily working together.
Because the hot spring resort could not be built in a short time, it was noisy and chaotic all day long, and the workers and craftsmen were also very busy.
Qiao Yuanyao and Su Rongrong are two young women, one unmarried and the other about to be married. It would be bad if something happened to them.
Thus, Madam Min Qiao ended her leisurely life at the mountain villa ahead of schedule and returned to the Marquis's residence with her entourage.
It's hard to tell whether it was a coincidence or a calculated move.
Just as Madam Min Qiao returned to the manor and had not yet settled in, someone rushed in to report that something terrible had happened in the manor.
Madam Min frowned slightly. She had walked slowly and hadn't arrived home until after noon. She hadn't even eaten yet, and trouble had already come knocking?
"What exactly happened?"
The little maid who rushed in to report hadn't even finished speaking when she heard loud shouts coming from outside.
"Madam! Please, we beg you, do justice for the Second Miss!"
The voice was familiar; it was He.
Madam Min didn't pay any attention, and just had someone bring up lunch, intending to fill her stomach first.
However, she had only taken a few bites when He's desperate cries for help came from outside again.
"Madam, I beg you to do justice for the Second Miss! Madam, I'm guilty! I deserve to die! But the Second Miss is innocent! She shouldn't suffer this humiliation! Please, Madam, do justice!"
Madam Min frowned. "Who's in charge of guarding the gate now? How did they let this person in?"
When Ah Jiu was guarding the gate, no one could sneak in right in front of her.
Ayi explained awkwardly, "The job of guarding the door is taken turns by Ajiu, Wenxiu, and Huanzhen. When they're not around, they're actually keeping the door open."
“We just got back from the estate. I sent Ajiu and the others to eat first. I haven’t handed things over to Shiyi yet.”
So, they are now genuinely opening the door.
Shi Yi is only eight years old, what can you possibly keep an eye on?
Madam Min sighed, "Go out and tell Madam He that I'm not dead yet, and tell her not to come to my Songhe Hall to mourn. If she has anything to say, tell her to go find Min Rong and Min Yuexi. If she doesn't leave, beat her out with a big stick."
"Yes." Ayi hurriedly went out to chase the person away.
But soon, Ayi returned, with a strange expression on her face.
"They've chased them away?"
Just as Madam Min Qiao asked the question, she heard Madam He's pleading voice coming from outside.
This time, however, Mrs. He did not cry; her pleading voice was even more sincere.
"What's going on?" Min Qiao stared at Ayi.
Ayi said awkwardly, "Aunt He didn't enter the gate of our Songhe Hall. She's been kneeling outside the courtyard the whole time. Well, there are a few horn-like things next to her that make her voice very loud. That's why she disturbed the Grand Madam."
As she spoke, Ayi quickly added, "I just relayed what the Grand Madam said to Aunt He, but Aunt He only stepped back a few feet and knelt down in the direction of Songhe Hall. It's as if she won't leave until she sees the Grand Madam."
Madam Min frowned. "Never mind, let her be."
Min Qiao tried to ignore He's voice and continued eating.
However, after eating a few more mouthfuls of rice, the noise outside became increasingly louder.
Finally, Madam Min Qiao could no longer bear it, put down her chopsticks, and quickly left the room.
When she arrived at the courtyard gate, she saw Min Yuexi leading several old women to drag He Shi away.
"Drag him back immediately! Don't you know where you are? Is this a place for you to cause trouble?"
Min Yuexi stood in the crowd with a dark face, and in a deep voice ordered several old women to drag He Shi away.
Min Yuexi glared at He Shi resentfully, "Grandmother just got back and you've already come to cause trouble! Are you trying to upset Grandmother or me?"
Then he instructed several old women, "Gag her, don't let her disturb Grandmother's peace and quiet."
He struggled, but she was no match for the strength of the old women. Just when it seemed hopeless and she was about to be dragged away, she suddenly saw Min Qiao appear at the entrance of Songhe Hall not far away.
He's eyes lit up, and with a sudden burst of strength, she broke free from the two old women's grasp and pounced on Min Qiao's side.
She knelt down in front of Madam Min with a thud and said quickly, "Madam, help! Miss is trying to kill me to silence me!"
Madam Min frowned slightly, not even glancing at Madam He, but coldly looking at Min Yuexi who was walking quickly over, "Can't even keep an eye on one person?"
No matter what He Shi is making a fuss about, and no matter what happened before, the fact that He Shi was sent by the Sun family to avenge the Lu family will not change.
Knowing He's identity, Min Yuexi still allowed people to run around the Marquis's mansion and even sent people to her Songhe Hall to complain, which shows that her ability to manage the Marquis's mansion is really worrying.
