Chapter 126 How could Jiang Ruo have such ability?
Jiang Ruo, hiding in the tree, looked at Zhou Yuanwai who returned to the house sighing, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Hey, don’t go yet!
She secretly took out the talisman paper containing the copper coin and threw it towards Mr. Zhou.
“Whoosh!”
It hit Mr. Zhou right on the back.
"who?"
Mr. Zhou glanced at the courtyard gate warily and whispered to the servant, "Go out and take a look."
"Yes, sir." The servant quickly ran outside the yard and took a look around.
Apart from two brightly lit courtyards, there was not even a ghost in sight.
The servant scratched his head and returned to the yard with a puzzled look on his face.
It must have been Mr. Yuan’s illusion just now!
At this moment, Mr. Zhou noticed the yellow talisman paper on the ground.
He looked around and picked up the talisman paper with a puzzled look on his face.
Talisman paper?
Who did it?
Unable to resist his damn curiosity, Mr. Zhou opened the "Money Loss and Disaster Elimination Talisman" with trembling hands...
When he saw the words on the talisman paper clearly in the light of the lantern, a surge of anger rushed to his head.
Spending money to avoid disaster?
It's obviously a loss of money and a disaster!
Mr. Zhou was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He couldn't help but walk into the yard and roared, "Who are you?"
"That's too much!"
Under the servant's terrified gaze, Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.
“Someone come! Someone come quickly…”
In the dark night, sudden shouts filled the sky above Zhou Mansion.
Immediately afterwards, there was chaos in the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Zexuan ran into the yard in disheveled clothes and yelled at several servants, "Hurry and call the doctor."
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Zhou then ran over crying, "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
She secretly thought: Could it be that my father-in-law got sick because my husband brought that woman back?
If that's the case, there's no way to keep her in the Zhou Mansion.
Not to mention Mr. Zhou's wife and concubines, who cried bitterly after hearing that Mr. Zhou had fainted.
The heartbroken crying sounded as if Mr. Zhou had passed away.
Xiao Chengjin observed secretly for a while, and a courtyard with lights on but no movement caught his attention.
"Ruoruo, let's go over there and take a look!"
"Okay!" Jiang Ruo glanced at the noisy yard and curled the corners of her lips slightly.
Oh, Mr. Zhou is so angry!
Serves you right.
Who asked you to take the lead in causing trouble at the grain store?
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin took a deep breath and ran to the roof of the courtyard.
This courtyard is the one that Mrs. Zhou arranged for Jiang Yunyao.
In the bedroom, Jiang Yunyao, who was having a nightmare, suddenly woke up after hearing the crying and shouting outside.
She sat up and looked at the unfamiliar room, a look of fear and confusion in her expression.
At this moment, her underwear was soaked with sweat.
She sat on the bed for a while, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Madam Zhou, please get me a change of clothes."
Mrs. Zhou, who was resting on the small couch, heard Jiang Yunyao's instructions with a hint of impatience between her brows.
"Yes, miss."
Mrs. Zhou got up from the small couch and found a set of clothes from the closet for Jiang Yunyao to wear.
When he heard the noise outside, he secretly complained: This Zhou Mansion is quite a mess.
It is noisy during the day and not quiet at night.
After Jiang Yunyao put on her clothes, she went straight out of the bedroom.
There were ghosts howling in the middle of the night.
Did something big happen in the Zhou Mansion?
Jiang Ruo looked at Jiang Yunyao and Mrs. Zhou in the yard and tugged at Xiao Chengjin's sleeve.
She lowered her voice and said jokingly, "Look, they're doing pretty well!"
Xiao Chengjin sneered and turned his gaze away.
He got angry when he saw this stinky woman.
Mrs. Zhou listened to the woman's cries and said to Jiang Yunyao, "Miss, please wait here. I will go out and find out."
Half a minute later, Mrs. Zhou, who had found out the inside story, ran back with a mysterious look on her face.
"Miss, the Zhou family's uncle just fainted from anger."
"That maid said that a few days ago, all the grain in the Zhou family's granary was stolen overnight, and Mr. Zhou has been ill ever since that day..."
Jiang Yunyao frowned when she heard this.
The granary was emptied?
Why does it sound a little... familiar?
Oh, by the way, the Prime Minister’s Mansion and the National Treasury were also robbed.
The modus operandi is quite similar.
Could it be that the thief has come to Jizhou?
For some reason, Jiang Ruo's face flashed through Jiang Yunyao's mind.
Haha~ I’m really dizzy.
How could Jiang Ruo have such ability?
Jiang Yunyao thought of the Jiangji Grain Shop opened by Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
So, she said to Mrs. Zhou, "Madam Zhou, spread the true identity of the owner of Jiang's Grain Shop tomorrow."
Humph! Aren’t you selling low-priced grain to win people’s hearts?
The more you do this, the more the emperor will not let you go.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou quickly agreed, "Don't worry, young lady! I will take care of this matter."
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows after hearing what Jiang Yunyao said.
You stinky woman, are you trying to stir up trouble?
Satisfy you.
After daybreak, the whole town knew that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was hiding in Zhou's mansion.
"Xiao Chengjin, let's go back!"
After the two of them left the Zhou Mansion for a distance, they could still hear the sounds of wolves crying and ghosts howling coming from inside.
As expected of the richest man, he made such a big fuss when he fainted, as if he was afraid that outsiders wouldn't know what happened.
Back at Jiangji Grain Shop, the wealthy Jiang Ruo kissed Xiao Chengjin.
"Hehe! With this money, we can live a life of luxury even if we just lie down."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo's money-obsessed appearance, and said with red ears: "Ruoruo, the industries under my name control the economic lifeline of the entire dynasty. From now on... everything will be handed over to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo put her arms around Xiao Chengjin's neck and kissed him again.
"Well, just take care of your own business."
"Hehe! Since you are so sensible, I will give birth to more monkeys for you in the future."
The eldest child studies literature, the second child learns martial arts, and the third child does business...Haha, I'm thinking a bit too far ahead.
When Xiao Chengjin heard the words "giving birth to a monkey", his eyes darkened.
He took advantage of the situation and grabbed the back of Jiang Ruo's head, taking the initiative and giving her a deep kiss.
Jiang Ruo: Why not take advantage of the fun tonight and capture him...
After a long time, Xiao Chengjin slowly let go of Jiang Ruo and said with an unsteady breath, "Ruoruo, don't tease me like this in the future."
Jiang Ruo lowered her head and said in a whisper, "Actually, we..."
Of course Xiao Chengjin understood what Jiang Ruo meant.
He gently held the shy girl in his arms and couldn't help laughing.
If he says he doesn’t dare, will Ruoruo believe him?
He remembered the old man's warning that night.
The old man warned him fiercely: The girl is still young, and you can only consummate the marriage after she turns twenty years old. Remember?
He snorted coldly and did not respond.
The old man threatened him with a dark face: If you can't remember, I can prescribe some medicine for you.
Needless to say, he knew what the old man was planning.
Phew, this old man is really redundant.
Even if the old man didn't warn him, he would know what to do.
With a ten-mile red wedding dress, I marry Ruo Ruo home...
