Chapter 111 Rescue Xu Qian
Chunhe was like a clown, rummaging through the account book in anger, but still found no clues.
"Hmph." The woman put away the account book and looked at Xu Miaomiao with disdain: "Don't be complacent. Although it's not a big problem, the three hundred taels you owed the day before yesterday were not even included in the account book. I can still sue you!"
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly: "Do you know why there are three hundred taels less? Because that money was given to your Cui Yuanwai. Do you still want to sue now?"
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's playful eyes, Chun He was furious and threw the account book to the ground angrily: "Let's go!"
As everyone was about to leave, Xu Nan behind him looked up timidly at Xu Miaomiao and was about to speak, but couldn't utter a word.
"You are such a heartless person!" Song Weiwei said from the side, "How could we be so good to you and yet you betrayed us?"
"That's not the case." Xu Nan said tremblingly: "My sister is in her hands. I have no choice. I must save her."
"You should have told us earlier instead of deceiving us in this way." Gu Yuanniang also looked dissatisfied: "If you had told me earlier, I believe Miaomiao would have found a way to save her."
With that, everyone turned and left.
Xu Nan lowered his head and dared not look directly into Xu Miaomiao's eyes. He could only lower his head and prepare to leave.
"Aren't you going to save her?" Xu Miaomiao asked.
Hearing this, the boy's eyes seemed to light up, and he looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Yes."
Touching Xu Nan's head, Xu Miaomiao took out a jade pendant. It seemed that it was time to use it.
At that time, Mrs. Cui passed away. In order to express her gratitude to Xu Miaomiao for taking Ling'er and the others in, she gave her this jade pendant, saying that it could be exchanged for a promise. Exchanging a dead object for a living thing is not a loss no matter how you think about it.
"Oh?" Mr. Cui played with the jade pendant in his hand and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "What do you want to exchange, Madam Xu?"
"There is a person named Xu Qian in Madam Chunhe's room. I want to replace her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Yuanwai was a little surprised: "You know that this promise was made by your mother. Even if you want wealth and glory, it is not too much. But you are just a little girl."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the man in silence for a long time before she spoke: "Miaomiao doesn't have anything to ask for, so please agree to my request."
Cui Yuan waved his hand, called two servants over, and whispered a few words in his ear.
After a while, Chunhe came slowly with small steps.
"I wonder why the master called me here?" The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were gentle and affectionate.
"Is there someone named Xu Qian in your room? Where is she? Bring her over here."
"Why has the master been so interested in the people in my room recently? She is just a foot-washing maid of mine. Why would I bother you to meet her?"
"It's Madam Xu who wants it. She's holding the jade pendant that the old lady gave her before she died. Just give it to her. I'll find two smart ones for you in a few days."
The handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously clenched, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Xu Miaomiao coming in from outside.
His eyes were so fierce that they looked like they could swallow a tiger. Xu Miaomiao accurately captured Chunhe's look of wanting to kill her. She spread her hands helplessly. She had just come back from the bathroom and saw Chunhe looking at her like this. She really got goosebumps.
"What? Are you unhappy?" Cui Yuan looked at Chunhe with dazed eyes. Sure enough, he was not as well-behaved and obedient as Dongdong.
"I dare not." Chunhe bowed slightly to Cui Yuan.
After a while, a thin little girl came out. When she saw Xu Nan, she happily went over to hug him and called him "brother".
"Since there is nothing else, Miaomiao will take my leave first." Xu Miaomiao lowered her head slightly and looked at the man in front of her and said.
Cui Yuan waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
Xu Nan followed her and went out holding Xu Qian's hand.
"What are your plans for the future?" Xu Miaomiao asked.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nan knelt on the ground and said, "I have no way to repay your kindness today. I am willing to serve you like a slave and die for you."
"Hurry up." Xu Miaomiao quickly helped the boy up from the ground, looked at him and said, "I don't need you to help me with anything. Do you have any other relatives?"
"My uncle's family is in the capital, and I wanted to go to him for help. I happened to meet Chunhe on the way, and then..."
Xu Nan hesitated as he spoke, pinching the corner of his clothes in his hand.
Xu Miaomiao took out some silver from her pocket and handed it to the boy, then patted the little girl's head comfortingly: "Go find your relatives."
As she spoke, Xu Miaomiao took them to the caravan heading to the capital, and discussed with the people in the caravan about taking the two children along.
Knowing that he was sitting in the carriage, Xu Nan was a little bit unbelievable: "Thank you!"
Thousands of words were condensed into two words, and finally he waved goodbye to Xu Miaomiao.

"What a rotten idea you came up with!" Chun He looked at Song Yingying dissatisfiedly: "Not only did I fail to get her evidence, but the master also scolded me and told me not to cause trouble for Xu Miaomiao again! If you can't stay here, get out of here and spit out all the money!"
Song Yingying's expression suddenly changed, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Mrs. Chunhe, don't worry, I must have a way, there must be one."
Fang Zhonglai paced anxiously, as if he remembered something. His eyes lit up and he looked at Chunhe and said immediately, "I got it. We have a boss in charge of commerce in this area, a man that even Mr. Cui is afraid of."
Chun He looked at her suspiciously, and asked in confusion: "Are you talking about Zhao Tong?"
"Yes." Song Yingying immediately nodded in agreement. This Zhao Tong was no ordinary person. He had a say in the business of Lingnan area. On just one street, half of the shops were his.
"What does this have to do with him? Besides, I can't afford to offend such a person. Do you want to kill me?" Chunhe glanced at Song Yingying with dissatisfaction.
"I have absolutely no such intention." Song Yingying explained, "From what Mr. Zhao said, it is against the will of heaven for a woman like Xu Miaomiao to open a shop. If he were to come forward and say something to Xu Miaomiao, it would be easy to close the shop."
As she spoke, Song Yingying took out a pen and handed it to Chunhe.
Chunhe's face changed as he thought carefully.
"Mrs. Chunhe might as well write a letter in the name of Mr. Cui. I believe Mr. Zhao will not sit idly by and allow her to destroy the market."
Chunhe listened to the words, thought about it carefully, and then took the pen handed to him by Song Yingying.
As soon as she returned to the store, Xu Miaomiao saw a group of people surrounding her.
There was another man inside, patrolling around.
"Who is this husband?" Xu Miaomiao looked at the man and asked.
The man put his hands behind his back and did not answer her: "It doesn't matter who I am, but Madam Xu, as a woman, you opened a shop privately without the consent of our Chamber of Commerce. This is against the market."
