Chapter 379: A visitor from the Yu family in South City brings disaster to the second branch
In the evening, it rained heavily again.
Zhongqin came in the rain and was stunned when she saw the hot tea in front of her. It was not a big deal, but the two people wiping her face and body were really a bit unnatural.
She gripped the scabbard tightly.
"I-I'm not cold."
Zitan held her shoulders and said, "It's raining so hard outside. Although summer is almost here, it's still cold. I think you're cold."
There is a kind of cold that makes mother feel cold.
Zitan looks like her mother.
Zhongqin immediately rejected this idea because she had never seen her parents.
"I can do it myself."
Zitan refused, "No, you will definitely wipe it carelessly. If the lady sees you not taking good care of yourself, she will definitely be angry."
After a while, Zitan put away the towel.
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhongqin breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the crisp new clothes, she felt something strange in her heart. She knocked on the door, entered the inner room, and said, "Miss, I have found out the scholar who was in contact with Huang Xin."
Jiusu was browsing the system, and the God of Wealth gave her many good things.
For example, a hot air balloon that can control its direction, and close-fitting armor that can protect against swords and knives.
She left the system.
【Gold Leaf-10】
Consumed again.
"Is that scholar Huang Xin's relative or lover?"
"My lover," Zhongqin said, "that scholar went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and nearly froze to death outside the Prime Minister's residence. He was found by Huang Xin and unexpectedly saved. The two have been in contact ever since. Unfortunately, the scholar failed and plans to take the exam again this year."
Jiusu recalled that the scholar's eyes were red, and beneath his elegant appearance, there was a hint of cruelty.
The corners of her mouth curled up: "That scholar doesn't seem like a good person. What did you find out?"
Zhongqin bowed and said, "I admire you. Miss, your guess is correct. That scholar is a complete bastard. He was indeed a real talent when he first came to Shengjing. After he got frustrated, he was dazzled by the prosperous scene and often got drunk and lingered in the flowers."
Jiusu thought of Yuan Zexu.
Baozhu was deceived badly.
"He's a bastard indeed. He couldn't resist temptation. Even if he became an official, he would still be a corrupt official. Find someone to approach him and get some information out of him."
Zhongqin turned around.
Jiusu said: "Remember to open an umbrella."
Zhongqin's back stiffened, she lowered her head, and subconsciously said, "Miss, the secret guards don't need umbrellas."
Jiusu stood up and exchanged an item from the system.
She asked with a smile: "Is the secret guard obedient?"
Zhongqin clasped her fists and said firmly, "I will obey your orders, young lady, and I will fight to the death, even if it means danger!"
But there was no such thing as mountains of swords and seas of fire.
There was only a dark purple umbrella.
Jiusu smiled and said, "I wanted to give you pink, but I was afraid you wouldn't like it. Purple is better. Purple has charm. You should like it."
Zhongqin was stunned, and the sound of her breathing became louder in her ears.
She couldn't describe how she felt. After organizing her words for a long time, she could only think of two words.
"Thanks."
The rain continued all night and only subsided at noon the next day.
Jiusu slept in and there was nothing to do at the Salt Bureau. No wonder this was an easy and lucrative job. With automatic payment, the task was completed quickly and the reward was extremely generous. She now had two thousand gold leaves and sixty million taels of gold.
The system has updated the richest list.
"I actually made it into the top 20."
Her eyes fell on Prime Minister Zhou and Xu Cairong, one ranked fifth and the other tenth.
"How much greed is this?"
Zitan brought hot soup and knelt on the carpet. She said, "Miss, something happened in the second house. People from the Yu family are here."
Jiusu quickly finished the hot soup.
"Let's go and watch the fun."
She put on a green cloak, and there were willows on the painted bridge and green curtains.
A fight is about to break out in the Second Hospital.
Jiusu immediately saw that Second Aunt's face was as red as pig liver with anger. The corners of her mouth curled up. Did she really think that framing her mother was something Fang Lianjiao could do? Her Second Aunt was very smart and could always clear herself of all charges.
Zhao Binglu gritted her teeth and explained, "My dear, Mingzhu is really not at home. She went out shopping with Zier. Please move to the front hall first."
Yu Tingbei's eyes fell on the locked door of his daughter's bedroom.
He said, "I'll wait here. Please send someone to find them now."
Zhao Binglu explained again: "This...it will take a long time to find someone. How about you go to the front hall to take shelter from the rain first, and when I find Mingzhu, I will bring her to you?"
Sudden.
Jiusu senses a figure behind him and tries to escape.
She raised her voice and called softly, "Brother Zi."
Li Zi shuddered, smiled awkwardly, and turned around: "It's... it's you."
Yu Tingbei walked forward, smelled the alcohol on Li Zi, frowned, and asked, "Where is Mingzhu?"
Li Zi scratched his head, "Father-in-law, brother, she...she..."
"You bastard, didn't you go clothes shopping with Mingzhu?" Zhao Binglu strode forward and slapped him in the face. "You didn't leave Mingzhu alone in the shop, did you?"
Li Zi blinked his eyes and stammered, "Yes, yes, Mingzhu was trying on clothes at Jinxiu Pavilion. She didn't bring enough money, so my son-in-law came back to get it."
Zhao Binglu gave one or two taels of silver.
Yu Tingbei rolled his eyes and untied the pouch at his waist, revealing a bulging bag. "Take this and buy something nice for my Mingzhu. When you've had enough fun, bring him back. Your elder brother and I will be waiting at the Marquis' Mansion."
Li Zi took the money bag and tried to run away.
Jiusu blocked it, and she blinked and said, "But, Jinxiu Pavilion store is clearing out its stock today, so it's closed. Are you lying?"
Li Zi placed his hands on his chest and shook them humbly, but it was useless. His eyes flickered and he looked at his toes: "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. It's not Jinxiu Pavilion, but another clothing store."
Jiusu tilted his head and smiled softly.
What a good excuse.
"If the person in the clothing store is my sister-in-law, then..." She walked forward with her umbrella, stood in the yard, and looked into the house, "Who is the person in the house?"
Suddenly, everyone raised their heads.
Yu Tingbei frowned and stepped forward to ask, "Who is this girl...?"
"Greetings to you, junior." She bowed politely.
It can be seen that the head of the Yu family loves Yu Mingzhu very much.
Yu Tingbei's expression turned serious. He bowed to his eldest son beside him and said, "Nancheng Yu Tingbei greets Master Jiu. I've heard of your reputation for a long time, but I never thought you were so young and beautiful. You're truly an outstanding talent."
Jiusu said: "You are too polite."
I didn't expect Yu Mingzhu's father to be so polite. It seems that she was led astray by the second wife's family.
Yu Tingbei asked: "What did the girl just say?"
Zhao Binglu hurried forward, held Jiusu's hand, brought her aside, and pleaded, "Niece, my dear niece, do you want to go shopping? I'll give you some money, and you can buy whatever you want..."
"Second Aunt." Jiusu's eyes flashed coldly, and she interrupted, "Am I short of money?"
Zhao Binglu was so anxious that her face flushed. "What good would it do you to save that bitch Yu Mingzhu? We are family. If the Marquis' Mansion offends the Yu family, it will not benefit you or me. If you can spare me this time, our family will leave Shengjing and never see each other again in this life!"
Jiusu came closer and whispered in her ear.
"But my dear Second Aunt, if we don't meet, how can I find evidence that you harmed my mother?"
Suddenly, Zhao Binglu broke out in cold sweat.
The raindrops fell, cold and icy. "Niece..."
Jiusu said, "Master Yu, the letter you received was sent to you by Yu Mingzhu. Why didn't she send it herself? Maybe if you open the lock and go inside the room, you'll understand."
