Chapter 430 Adoption
Xu Zhichun had more than 26,000 taels of silver in his hands, and countless goods that could be sold for money. This time, the Zeng family would definitely go bankrupt.
She wasn't bragging. Even if it was more than 20,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many families in the entire Qingshan County who could come up with it at once.
What Xu Zhichun didn't expect was that Qu Ling actually fell in love with Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin discussed with her and tactfully expressed her desire to keep Qu Ling.
"I won't hide it from Madam Xu. A while ago, my master and I were discussing finding a young girl around my Ning'an's age to adopt and raise from a young age. In the future, we could marry and help Ning'an manage the family business."
"We've thought about it and figured it out. Ning An is a simple-minded kid who's easily deceived. It's unlikely any girl we marry from outside will truly treat him well. We don't need any help from the Yue family. A girl who's been raised and raised since childhood would be more suitable. We were just looking around and making inquiries when Madam Xu unexpectedly arrived with Qu Ling. The more I see of this girl, the more I like her. Maybe this is fate!"
Xu Zhichun: “.”
Could it be that this little girl Qu Ling really has some luck?
It's true that the little girl looks smart and well-behaved, so it's not surprising that Mrs. Qin likes her.
Xu Zhichun smiled and gently reminded her, "If Madam Qin likes her and she is willing, then just keep her. But fate is unreasonable and has no reason. If there is fate, one will never forget it. If there is no fate, even if they grew up together, they will not get along. Madam Qin can keep her and teach her this way for now. We should wait until they are both grown up before discussing fate. Otherwise, if they become a couple with grudges, it will hurt Ning An."
Mrs. Qin was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. "Thank you very much! Don't worry, I think so too. If they are destined to be together, they will get married in the future. If they are not destined to be together, I will just treat her as a daughter and marry her off properly."
But if you spend time together from a young age and guide each other intentionally or unintentionally, the chances of success will always be greater.
More importantly, know the ins and outs.
After a while, Qu Ling was called over. Xu Zhichun asked her softly if she was willing to stay in the Qin family. Qu Ling only thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Qin was very gentle and kind. She looked at her with a smile in her eyes. She felt her kindness, so why would she be unwilling?
Moreover, she knew that there was a grudge between Xu Zhichun and Wu Mama. Xu Zhichun didn't like Wu Mama. Although she treated her well, she always felt that there was a layer of distance between them. When she faced her, she subconsciously felt a little unnatural.
It’s better to stay in the Qin family.
After all, they had been together for a while, and when it was time to part, she couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.
"Sister Xu, will I be able to see you again in the future?"
"Of course, I have some connections with the Qin family. You can also come to my house with Madam Qin as a guest in the future."
"Okay, okay, thank you Sister Xu!"
Xu Zhichun smiled, gave her some advice and comfort, then left.
Muxiang, Chunfen, Liang Lizheng and others had received the news that she was safe and sound yesterday, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Liangjia Village is what it is today, and everyone's life is getting better and better. Everyone knows that this is all due to her. Only a fool would gloat over her disappearance.
When Xu Zhichun came back, the whole village was extremely happy, and everyone rushed to the village entrance to welcome her with joy.
"It's good that you're back! Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva and Buddha bless you."
"I said Madam Xu is blessed with a long life, she will definitely be fine!"
"Yes, yes, it's okay, it's okay!"
Everyone gathered around to send Xu Zhichun home. After a few words of concern, the village head's wife called out to everyone to go back. "Mrs. Xu is tired too. Let her have a good rest. We can come back another day to visit her."
"Yes, let Madam Xu rest. We won't disturb her anymore!"
Xu Zhichun breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was enthusiastic and gossipy, peppering her with questions, their curiosity killing the cat. She just opened her mouth, and genuinely didn't want to answer any of the questions.
After closing the yard door, the world finally becomes quiet.
"lady."
Mu Xiang was nervous, tears welling in her eyes, and she spoke in a sobbing voice, "Madam."
I want to ask but I don’t dare to ask.
Chunfen didn't have as many concerns as her. She had wanted to ask for a long time, but she didn't have the chance because everyone was making so much noise. Now she finally had the chance.
"Sister Zhichun, Sister Zhichun, where is Aunt Qin Qing? Why hasn't Aunt Qin Qing come back yet? What is she doing?"
Muxiang's tears suddenly fell. She raised her hand to wipe them away and held back her sobs.
Chunfen doesn’t understand, but she does.
Xu Zhichun sighed inwardly, patted Muxiang on the back, and said with a smile, "Madam Qin Qing was delayed by something. Don't worry, she will definitely be back."
Chunfen said "Oh", smiled and felt relieved.
Muxiang also felt much more at ease and nodded vigorously: "Yes, madam is right!"
Xu Zhichun asked about their family situation recently. When he heard that Zhang was running around the village and making sarcastic remarks, and was scolded by Liang Lizheng, he couldn't help but sneer.
No matter what happens to me, what does it have to do with her?
No matter how high she jumps, it's all in vain.
Other things would be fine, but she was determined to deal with the Zeng family, so she had to tell Zeng Xiaoyan and Zeng Xiaojuan.
The two sisters were very surprised to find out that this matter was really related to the Zeng family and that it was Zeng Mingzhu who sent people back to collude with Madam Zeng.
Zeng Xiaoyan sneered, "I've long since severed ties with the Zeng family. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and no one forces others to be the victim. It would be unjust if Sister Zhichun didn't retaliate."
Zeng Xiaojuan also sighed: "They have done evil themselves, and they deserve the consequences. I am just an ordinary married woman. How could I have done anything wrong?"
Xu Zhichun just wanted to tell them that he didn't want to ruin their friendship and had no intention of stopping. It was best that they understood.
County Magistrate Lu took Mr. Shao and left in the open, while Captain Yu took a few smart and capable constables and set out in disguise. They would contact County Magistrate Lu when they arrived in the provincial capital.
After some probing, County Magistrate Lu was relieved to confirm that Prefect Yang had no secret connections with the Xiangzhou Prefecture.
Otherwise, it would be a big trouble, and maybe even he would be implicated in the future.
It is ridiculous that King Yuchang thinks that rebellion to seize the world is too simple.
If he were to say, Prince Yuchang's ambition was fostered by the Queen Mother.
If the Empress Dowager had not been so partial, constantly asking the Emperor to do this and that for Prince Yuchang, fearing that Prince Yuchang would be wronged, Prince Yuchang would not have felt so wronged that he simply rebelled.
Now, there is no return waiting for him.
When gods fight, as long as it doesn't harm mortals, it's fine. They are located in a remote area, so they just need to guard their own piece of land and wait for the outcome.
But once you are involved, once Prince Yuchang is captured by the court and the emperor takes action, it will all be over.
