Shopkeeper Qin nodded quickly and took out the accommodation allowance they had given him yesterday.
He even added a lot more, a total of five taels of silver.
"It's not much, please don't be disgusted, sir." Shopkeeper Qin said with a smile.
Chu Hongyun took it and thanked him.
"You can't leave. You have to compensate my little grandson." The old lady stared at the five taels of silver, rushed forward and was about to grab Chu Hongyun's sleeve.
Chu Hongyun dodged and the old lady's head hit the counter with a bang.
The others all showed expressions of pain when they saw this. The old lady covered her head and shouted dizzily, "You can't, you can't leave. Give me back my little grandson..."
"Tsk tsk, to put it bluntly, it's all about money. You put it so high-soundingly, but you're afraid your son's new wife will find out that you didn't hold on to your grandson, so you want us to take the blame."
Qiu Yinong looked at the old woman and sneered.
The old lady's secret was exposed, and she became angry and embarrassed: "I don't care. Since you saved someone, you must save him to the end. If you don't find my grandson, you can't leave."
"If my grandson is gone, you must compensate me."
Qiu Yinong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha... This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."
"Did I cause this flood to break out?"
"You have to pay compensation just because you haven't found your grandson yet. This is really a joke." Even the girl from the Cai family couldn't help but open her eyes wide when she heard the old woman's words.
How could this person be so shameless?
The old lady didn't care and reached out to grab Qiu Yinong's sleeve, but Qing Yuan slapped her away.
"The Princess of Changping County is here. If you dare to attack me again, you will be treated as an assassin!" Qing Yuan took out Qiu Yinong's token.
Shopkeeper Qin took a closer look and saw the words "Changping" written on the wall. He immediately knelt down and saluted.
"I, Qin Yihuai, pay my respects to the Princess of Changping County."
The others also knelt down in haste. The girl from the Cai family was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She, she actually threatened a county lady yesterday.
The old lady was so frightened that her soul almost flew away.
Such a seemingly ordinary girl is actually a county lady.
The magistrate of Wangyou County happened to find out that the person who saved people last night was staying at the Qin family inn. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard everyone shouting, "See you, county lady."
He stumbled and hurried into the lobby.
After seeing what Qing Yuan was holding, he quickly knelt down and saluted: "The humble official Bei Ji pays homage to the county lady. Long live the county lady."
"Get up! This old woman is trying to blackmail me and stop me from traveling. North County Magistrate, I don't need to say anything more."
Bei Ji quickly responded: "Don't worry, County Master, I will deal with it strictly."
"You are such a shameless old woman! The county lady kindly risked her life to save you, and now you are threatening and blackmailing her."
Hearing Bei Ji's scolding, the old lady was so scared that her legs went weak.
"My Lord, my Lord, please be wise. I, I have no intention of blackmailing the county lady. It's just that my little grandson is missing, and I was anxious and did something foolish."
"Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore." A smell of urine came, and she was so scared that she wet her pants.
Everyone present fanned themselves in disgust, but Bei Ji didn't move, his brows slightly furrowed.
"You are clearly ungrateful. Take you away." Bei Ji did not give her a chance to regret and directly let the bailiff take her away.
The bailiff lifted her up with disdain and said, "Yesterday I saw with my own eyes the county lady risking her life to save you. You old woman are truly evil-hearted and ruthless."
"Wuwuwu...I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."
Qiu Yinong shook her head and glanced at the others. The girl from the Cai family immediately lowered her head in fear.
If she was really taken to the yamen again, the Cai family's reputation would be completely ruined.
Just when she was feeling uneasy, Qiu Yinong spoke up: "Okay, I'll leave this to you. We have other things to do, so we have to leave first."
Bei Ji hurried to see him off, and Shopkeeper Qin also respectfully came to the door to see him off.
But I saw their carriage parked safely at the gate.
After getting on the carriage, Qiu Yinong nodded to Bei Ji from the window and said, "Let's go."
Qiu Maocai waved the whip and the horse ran forward.
After watching Qiu Yinong and the others leave, Bei Ji directly ordered: "Take them away."
"No, no, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life."
The old lady cried and tugged at the door frame, but was eventually carried out.
Shopkeeper Qin sighed, "If you weren't so greedy, how could you have ended up like this?"
"Miss Cai, don't think you can be arrogant just because your family is rich. Look at yourself. A county lady can disregard her own safety and save others from danger."
"I have never used my power to oppress others. How can you be so shameless as the daughter of a wealthy businessman?" Shopkeeper Qin said this unpleasantly.
Miss Cai looked unhappy, but she said nothing because she knew what the other party said was right.
She remained silent, and Shopkeeper Qin didn't say much either.
Miss Cai quickly left the inn, and the others also said goodbye and left.
Not long after, the Cai family sent silver and money to express their gratitude.
The Cai family also donated some silver to the county government for disaster relief.
Bei Ji didn't understand why, and thought that the Cai family did this to thank the county lady for saving their daughter.
It was not easy to walk along the way, as there was deep water on the road.
Fortunately, Qiu Yinong didn’t want to continue going to Anqing, but to meet Jiang on the way.
The carriage had only been moving forward for half a day when they encountered some refugees.
Seeing a carriage coming, the refugees all looked up. A woman inside looked up and saw the driver, and she was immediately delighted.
She shouted hoarsely, "Son, Maocai, Maocai, mother is here, mother is here."
A man nearby heard it, pulled her down, and pressed her head with his big hands.
Qiu Maocai naturally didn't hear it, but Qiu Yinong did.
"Stop the car." Qiu Yinong said.
"Should we stop the car now? There are refugees everywhere." Qiu Maocai looked at the refugees around him, a little afraid that they would rush over.
Qiu Yinong knocked on the door, Jing Xu jumped out of the car, alert to his surroundings.
Qiu Maocai also got off the carriage to get the footrest, and the refugees also stopped and looked at the carriage with eager eyes.
Qiu Yinong pushed open the door and walked out with a veil on her face.
"Let her go!" Qiu Yinong stared at the man and shouted loudly.
The man was startled, looked up to meet Qiu Yinong's eyes, and rolled his eyes: "Girl, this is my wife, she's not very smart, I'm afraid to scare you."
"I said... let go!" Qiu Yinong was obviously unhappy.
The refugees began to riot, and one complained, "You think you're so high and mighty just because you ride in a carriage?"
"Haven't you heard people say that that's his new bride?"
Qiu Yinong didn't waste time talking to him. A stone appeared in her hand and she hit the man's big hand directly.
The back of the big man's hand started bleeding instantly, and he withdrew his hand in pain.
Jiang looked up and burst into tears: "Son, save mother..."
