The person inside looked out through the secret compartment, and the young man in gray said in surprise, "Sir, it's Miss Jiang."
The man had no expression. He had just recognized the voice and his eyes unconsciously fell on Jiang Qingyao.
There was a dark room in the private room. They were discussing something in it and were about to go out when they didn't expect there was someone outside.
Over there, Xue Jingwen listened to Jiang Qingyao's words, pondered for a while, and made up his mind, "Okay, I'll go back and tell my father that he believes in ghosts and gods, and he will definitely listen to what the master says."
"Father believes in the Master, and I believe in you."
He also felt that his father had invested too much in mining in the North, and that there was no return yet, so it was still not too late to withdraw.
Jiang Qingyao just felt relieved and a huge stone was put down in her heart.
As long as my second uncle doesn’t get cheated like in his previous life, it’s fine.
Jiang Qingyao smiled again and said, "I know where the real mineral vein is."
Xue Jingwen was surprised and happy. His cousin was amazing!
"Tell me quickly!"
The two heads were put together, as if they were plotting something big.
Zhi Taoxin, who was standing aside, thought to herself that the young lady had looked lifeless a few days ago, but now she seemed to have finally regained her former liveliness.
Jiang Qingyao whispered to Xue Jingwen the location of the mineral vein, which was discovered by a member of the royal family in the previous life and made a huge profit.
She wanted to let the Xue family take over and become even richer.
After a moment, Xue Jingwen looked at Jiang Qingyao and frowned, "The jewelry and clothes you are wearing are too plain. Is the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion going bankrupt?!"
Zhitao, who was about to doze off, finally became interested because she had a place to use her skills.
She said excitedly, "The old lady treats the young lady harshly. The young lady's monthly allowance is the lowest among all the young masters and young ladies."
Xue Jingwen slammed the table. "You bastards! For the past seven or eight years, my father has sent two thousand taels of silver to the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion every year as a subsidy for Qingyao to buy clothes and jewelry. How dare they embezzle it!"
Jiang Qingyao: "Third cousin, I didn't even know about this."
Xue Jingwen's chest was filled with anger. "Last year, my aunt had a Langhuan Fuzhu necklace made for her. After it was consecrated by a master, it was sent to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion. You didn't receive it?"
Jiang Qingyao shook her head.
The answer is obvious. All the silver and jewelry sent by the Xue family were embezzled.
"Who on earth is so audacious? I'm going to ask Ning Yuanbo's mansion!"
Jiang Qingyao held Xue Jingwen's shoulders and said, "Don't ask. I know who took the Langhuan Fuzhu necklace you mentioned. Since it's a matter of the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion, let me handle it. If it doesn't work out, I'll come to find you, my third cousin."
The kindness of my second uncle and aunt was snatched away and wasted by someone else, and Jiang Qingyao would never let them off easily.
Xue Jingwen managed to calm down after hearing Jiang Qingyao's words, and then said: "I've heard about your engagement. Don't you like He Huaixuan anymore? Didn't you care about him before?"
Jiang Qingyao choked, "That's because..."
He Huaixuan saved her.
He Huaixuan saved her life and was a handsome young man. Jiang Qingyao was indeed dazzled by his gentle and polite appearance and thought he was a good man whom she could entrust her life to.
Little did they know that he was just a hypocritical and heartless person with all good looks.
All her hopes were in vain, and all she got in return was betrayal.
In this life, no matter what, she will never choose He Huaixuan again.
Forget it, who can she tell these things to?
Jiang Qingyao lowered her eyes, "Anyway, I don't like him now."
"Why didn't you choose someone else? The Marquis of Anguo?"
Xue Jingwen suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, "Could it be that you like Marquis Anguo?!"
They probably hadn't met many times, had she actually fallen in love with her future father-in-law?
“…”
Jiang Qingyao glanced at him.
Third cousin, don’t be too outrageous!
In her previous life, she had only seen Marquis Anguo once from a distance. After so many years, she couldn't even remember what he looked like, so how could she like him?
In order to reassure my third cousin and prevent my grandfather, aunt, and uncle from worrying, the words on the tip of my tongue changed to:
"Um."
Anyway, Marquis Anguo is gone, so if she likes it, then let her like it. Marquis Anguo's spirit in heaven probably won't care.
In the dark room.
The young man in gray gasped and looked at the man with wide eyes, "Sir, Miss Jiang said she likes it..."
Suddenly meeting the man's deep and sharp eyes, she swallowed back her words.
After the people in the private room left, the man and the young man in gray came out of the dark room.
The young man in gray looked up and said, "Sir, are we still going to Lintai County?"
The man said in a deep voice: "No, we will go back to the He family after we finish our work and make a quick decision."
The young man in gray was shocked. Could it be that the master was in such a hurry to go back to the He family just for Miss Jiang?
After all, Miss Jiang is now a poor little girl with no one to support her, and she has been bullied badly by the people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Fortunately, when the adults come back after finishing their business, Miss Jiang will not be afraid of being bullied!
The man ordered again: "Spread the news that the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion owes money and refuses to pay it back. Since the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion has no shame, then just give up everything."
"Yes, sir."
A carriage sped past on the street, and Jiang Qingyao was pushed by a frightened passerby and fell backwards.
The imagined pain did not come, and a hand supported her from behind.
After she stood firm and saw the man's face clearly, Jiang Qingyao's usually calm eyes flickered. Why was it him again?
"Miss, are you okay?!" Zhitao hurried over holding snacks.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Qingyao looked at the man with an inquiring gaze and said softly, "Thank you."
"You won't chase me away?"
Zhitao was suspicious and frightened, not knowing what the man was saying to the young lady. The man was handsome, looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four, and had an oppressive aura.
Jiang Qingyao knew that he was talking about what happened that day at Ci'en Temple, and thought that this guy was a bit annoying.
"The situation is different, so the attitude will be different. I'm not talking about people, but about the matter."
The man just glanced at her once more and said, "Miss Jiang, we will meet again."
After saying this, the tall figure merged into the crowd and disappeared.
Jiang Qingyao pursed her lips, her mind filled with confusion. Will they meet again? What did he mean? How did he know her last name was Jiang?
Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing Jiang Qingyao coming back, Jiang Yisong asked, "How is it? Did the Xue family give in?"
Jiang Qingyao shook her head. "My second uncle is having trouble with his business and is in urgent need of money. There's no other way. We have to pay this debt off immediately."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang could not hide her disappointment.
You're useless. You can't even do the smallest thing.
Jiang Yisong was also very disappointed with Jiang Qingyao. He felt that the Xue family was not as kind to her as before and was unwilling to forgive even this small amount of money.
Seeing that they all had sad faces, Jiang Qingyao felt relieved and brought up the subsidy and necklace that Xue Jingwen mentioned.
"It's strange, why have I never received the subsidy from my second uncle?"
"And more." She looked at Jiang Yunxue and said coldly, "How did the thing my aunt gave me end up around my second sister's neck?"
