Chapter 456: Is it a Concubine's Competition for Favor?
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Is it because of Yang Qizhi's incident that you gave up this line of work?"
Yang Yue sighed, a trace of fatigue on her face, "Yes, but originally we were planning to stop after selling this batch of chicks."
"Because of taxes, private mines have to pay a lot of money before they even start digging. If the ore they dig doesn't produce more than three times the amount they paid, they'll lose money."
"So many families have given up mining. Once all the crude silver on the market is turned in, there will be no more crude silver."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I see. So what kind of business are you planning to start?"
Yang Yue smiled and said, "In fact, we have been training animals for generations. We can train some small animals to sell. The price will definitely not be as expensive as an eagle, but it can still survive."
Su Nuan was thinking about poaching again and asked, "Would you be willing to live in another city?"
Yang Yue shook her head. "Our ancestors are all here. How could we possibly leave?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuan put away the hoe in her heart. If she couldn't dig it up, then it wouldn't be a waste of effort.
As the two were talking, a strange woman's voice was heard outside.
"Young Master, I finally found you."
Su Nuan and Yang Yue looked at each other. Looking at Yang Yue's eyes, she didn't know who was talking.
When the two left the breeding house, Su Nuan saw a woman holding Xiao Lingtian tightly.
Su Nuan stared at Xiao Lingtian curiously, asking with her eyes who this was.
The woman was dressed in black, her figure was very attractive, and her beautiful face was full of joy.
Her decoration was simple, with her hair tied in a ponytail with a black cloth.
There are only simple silver cloves on the ears, which looks shabby, but the temperament is not bad at all.
But Xiao Lingtian's eyes were full of confusion, and it was obvious that he didn't know this woman.
The woman's eyes were full of admiration and excitement. She stood up, grabbed Xiao Lingtian's hand and dragged him out.
"Master, follow me. I will help you take that seat."
Xiao Lingtian frowned, shook off the woman's hand and asked, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
The woman was startled, then said, "Well, young master, you have never seen me, but I have come back from the afterlife to help you."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes.
The Space Spirit said, "Wow, another reborn person. Maybe Xiao Lingtian at this time in her previous life hadn't met her yet, so Xiao Lingtian didn't recognize her."
Su Nuan responded, "Yeah, I thought so too. People who are reborn or travel through time usually have some kind of cheat code, right? What could her cheat code be?"
The space spirit said: "I don't know, I can't see it. Let me get closer and let Hailan sense it."
After saying that, she flew towards the woman, but before she could get close, she was bounced away by a strong force.
The space spirit flew back, staggering like a drunk. She shook her head and said, "No, there's a strange energy shield around her. I can't get close to her."
Su Nuan said, "Don't worry about it. She won't harm Xiao Lingtian. She can even help Xiao Lingtian get revenge. She won't be our enemy."
The Space Spirit said, "Okay, let's talk about it later."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, and from what she heard, it seemed that if this woman made things difficult for him in the future, the Space Spirit would label her as an enemy and try every means to take away her golden finger.
How could such a robbery be done openly? Of course, it had to be done secretly.
Xiao Lingtian said to the woman, "Let's go over there and talk."
The woman nodded, "Okay, please, young master."
Xiao Lingtian looked at Su Nuan, who waved her hand, "You two go talk, I want to treat Young Master Bai."
Boss Bai, who was a spectator, was filled with joy. So many things had happened just now, and he didn't dare to rush anyone. Now people were finally paying attention to him.
He said to the old man, "I would be grateful to you for lending me an empty house on your precious land."
The old man looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Let's go and eat. We'll talk after dinner."
Now that the Yang family no longer had to go bankrupt, the old man was naturally very happy. He began to invite everyone to dinner.
As for Xiao Lingtian who was leaving, he didn't pay much attention to him, but just greeted Su Nuan warmly.
When everyone returned to the hall, the huge eight-immortal table was already filled with delicious food.
The old man was sitting in the main seat. Yang Qiyun wanted to sit next to him, but was slapped away by the old man.
"Go, go, little girl, come and sit down."
Su Nuan wanted to refuse, but Yang Yue pushed her and said, "Go quickly. You will be my support from now on."
Su Nuan laughed, but she didn't refuse and walked over to sit down.
The servants brought basins of water and everyone washed their hands.
A starling suddenly appeared in the house. It tilted its head to look at Su Nuan and said, "Pretty little sister."
Su Nuan looked over and saw that the starling was shiny black, with bright eyes, and it was obvious that it was being well taken care of.
"Whose starling is this?"
The old man said, "This is mine. I keep it to entertain myself. It's just a little too noisy."
The starling refused to accept the offer and said, "You stinky old man, you haven't given me today's worms yet."
Su Nuan stood up and walked over. The starling was stepping on the tea table, so Su Nuan grabbed a handful of pet food and put it on the tea table.
"Here, please eat."
The starling's eyes lit up and he started eating.
The old man said, "There are no bugs today."
The starling ignored him.
Su Nuan returned to her seat and sat down. A maid started to serve the dishes, and everyone started eating in silence.
After the meal, the dishes are removed and replaced with fragrant tea.
Su Nuan took a sip of tea and said, "I want to give Master Bai acupuncture, so I need a quiet room."
"After acupuncture, Master Bai will sleep for an hour, and he will be back to normal when he wakes up."
Shopkeeper Bai was very excited. "I don't ask him to be very smart, as long as he can take care of himself."
Su Nuan could feel his love for his son and comforted him, "It will be fine, don't worry."
The old man said, "That's easy. Just go to the guest room. But Young Master Bai has been ill for a long time. Can he really be cured?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, it's a bit troublesome. After it recovers, it will take another half a year to recover."
Yang Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the reason? I heard that Master Bai was very smart before he was three years old."
Su Nuan looked at Boss Bai, asking for his opinion with her eyes. After all, this was his family affair, and it was up to him whether to say it or not.
Boss Bai understood Su Nuan's expression. He sighed and said, "Go ahead. I want to know too."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, Master Bai was harmed by someone."
Yang Yue exclaimed, "Poisoned?"
Boss Bai was not surprised, he just smiled bitterly.
Yang Yue asked curiously again, "Could it be that the wives and concubines are competing for favor? Or is it that the illegitimate children are harming the legitimate children?"
The old man said, "Boss Bai doesn't have any illegitimate children. He only has one wife."
Su Nuan pricked up her ears, waiting for the next words. If it wasn't a fight between his wives and concubines, then how did Young Master Bai get sick? Was her judgment wrong? Was it not a murder, but a coincidence?
