Chapter 42: Success

Wen didn't hesitate, he really couldn't delay any longer.

"Miao Ling, my mother's purpose for coming today is very simple, just to borrow some money from you."

"Oh?" Qu Miaoling was surprised: "Mother, what does this mean?" ”

"Mother recently made a voice, money is tight, there is no money turnover, Miao Ling is willing to help Mother with this!"

Qu Miaoling drank mouthwash tea, raised her eyelids lightly, and said: "My daughter is naturally willing to help with this, but my mother can think clearly, there is no free lunch in the world." ”

Wen's face froze, and she knew that it was not so easy.

She smiled and said, "If Miao Ling has any requirements, just mention it, and my mother will try her best to meet it." ”

"Mother, what are you talking about, Miao Ling is the kind of villain who takes advantage of people's danger."

"Yes, yes, Miao Ling has always been understanding, and my mother also believes that you will not open your mouth."

"My daughter will say it directly, there are two Zhuangzi under my mother's name, and I ask my mother to return them to me."

With Qu Miaoling telling the location of the Zhuangzi, Wen's heart chuckled.

Those two Zhuangzi are her cash cows, and they dug up the ore veins in the Zhuangzi, but when they were really making money, if they were given to Qu Miaoling.

In an instant, Wen felt that his heart was old, and it was cracked into several petals, and it was difficult to put it back in place.

Wen smiled awkwardly, "Miao Ling, I can't be the master of this matter, you have to-"

"Mother, this is a trivial matter, you don't need your father's approval, you are the head of the house, does your father even have to meddle in the affairs of the inner house?"

Wen smiled awkwardly, but thinking of what happened at noon today, she still agreed, "Miao Ling, mother promises you." ”

"That's fine."

"You just lend the money to your mother first, and your mother needs it urgently?"

"Isn't it 10,000 taels? Mother, don't worry, I've already asked Qingrou to go to the money bank to get it. ”

Wen was shocked, how did she know?

Wen's skeptical eyes, Qu Miaoling naturally saw it, she laughed, her voice was very weak, "Mother, if people don't know, you can't do it unless you do!" I wonder if my mother has heard of it? ”

was stripped of the fig leaf, and Wen's face was blue and white for a while.

She thought she was foolproof and hid it well, but Qu Miaoling said it so easily.

Now that she believes it, the current Qu Miaoling is no longer the one she used to fiddle with.

Gently come over with a silver ticket.

Looking at the small box, Wen's eyes were about to glow green.

She even reached for it, but was gently dodged, "Madame has no evidence, please make a note." ”

Wen's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and she looked at Qu Miaoling in disbelief.

Under the smiling gaze of the other party, she was defeated.

Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll write." ”

Gently take out the pen and ink that have been prepared long ago, as well as the red clay.

It was not enough for Wen to write the note, and pressed the handprint again.

Going out with the fluttering little box, Wen's face turned hideous.

Tao Lei didn't dare to speak.

Wen took Taolei out of the arranged restaurant, the color of his face was the same as bluestone bricks, green with black.

"Madam, that person is too arrogant!"

The man hired by Qu Miaoling was really a good stinger, and Wen's face turned white when he was stunned, and he couldn't say a word to refute it.

Across the wall, Qu Miaoling and Qingrou sat there, listening softly and couldn't help but smile.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, it is estimated that she would have rushed over to taunt Wen.

After Wen took Taolei into the carriage and left, the man immediately knocked on the door and came in, handing over the 10,000 taels of silver tickets that had just arrived to Qu Miaoling.

"Good work."

The man's tense and serious face changed instantly.

"It's an honor for my subordinates to do things for Miss." This person was found by Min Jie, and he is very reliable.

Qu Miaoling gave a gentle look, and gently immediately handed the bag of silver to the man.

The man didn't want it at first, but finally accepted it.

"Miss, Wen's stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice."

Qu Miaoling nodded, now that the Wen family owes a lot of debt, she doesn't know how she will pay it back.

And the most critical thing now is that there is a problem with the accounts of the Hou Mansion, and now the Wen family has to hurry up to make up for the deficit in the accounts of the Hou Mansion.

At noon that day, Zhuangzi's deed was delivered, and reluctance could still be seen on Taolei's face, as well as bright red slap prints.

"Miss, the Wen clan has started to torture people again, Taolei's face is red, and she didn't cover it with powder."

Gently chirping, like a young bird.

"What? Do you want it too? ”

"No, no, no." Gently and frantically waved her hand, "Miss is the kindest, the best, Miss is the best master in the world!" ”

Gently and frantically patting the sycophants, Qu Miaoling smiled.

Wen Shi was very tired and spread out on the bed, the events of the past two days had been up and down, and her heart ached unbearably.

As soon as I came back and lay down, someone outside the courtyard sent a message that the eldest lady was here.

"What is she doing here?"

Wen sat in the front hall, and Qu Miaoling walked slowly.

"Mother, I have already checked the accounts in this house, do you think it is time for you to fulfill your promise?"

"What?" When Wen opened the ledger, he saw a few slips of paper falling out.

On it was the confession of the treasurer's door.

Wen's eyes went dark and he almost fell.

"Mother, I don't need to say more." Qu Miaoling smiled and said with a smile.

"Qu Miaoling, count you ruthless!"

The Wen clan had no choice, if Qu Miaoling really handed over this thing to Wu Dehou, she would definitely not be able to eat it and walk around.

"Miao Ling rest assured, my mother will do what she says, and the accounts on each shop are empty, and my mother will definitely pay it back."

As he said the last sentence, Wen's throat was about to smoke.

"Then Miao Ling waited for good news."

Qu Miaoling left, and Wen couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down with a bang.

When the Wen family was busy filling the shortfall, Qu Miaoling and Qingrou appeared in Beizhuang, ten miles away from the capital, which was on the mountain, the terrain was rugged, and Zhuangzi was established on a fairly gentle plateau, looking quite a bit of a paradise.

The people here haven't received the news yet, and when Qu Miaoling came, the steward was respectful on the surface, and he thought that Qu Miaoling was just casually strolling.

According to Qu Miaoling's request, they arranged a room for the two of them, and they served them well, not enthusiastic, but not too lazy.

That night.

The master and servant ate dinner and went to sleep, and lay down on the low floor gently, she pursed her lips and complained: "Miss, the people here really don't know what to do, don't they know that you are their master?" ”

Qu Miaoling closed her eyes and didn't speak, softly thinking that the young lady was asleep, so she quickly closed her mouth.

After a while, I heard the young lady say softly: "They all watch people put down dishes, I have lived outside the mansion for so many years, they may all think that I am not the master of the Hou Mansion at all!" ”

"Miss, how dare they do this to you? The slave and maid will go back tomorrow to find someone, so that they can teach them the rules! "Softly whew.

"No, by tomorrow at the latest, they will know that this Zhuangzi has changed hands."

As Qu Miaoling thought, the steward of Zhuangzi immediately sent someone back to the city, and the person sent out that night came back and told the steward that this Zhuangzi was already the eldest lady.

The man in charge was confused.

He broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of what he had done today.

Early the next morning, the steward was very attentive, he personally brought someone to bring breakfast over, and introduced Qu Miaoling to the same, and when Qu Miaoling finished eating, he took the initiative to take them to go shopping, and did his best to introduce them along the way.

Qu Miaoling understands that this person is in charge of current affairs, so he doesn't pursue it much.

Only gently there is still fire in his heart, and from time to time he scolds the steward, and the steward will let him stab him gently.

After a lot of times, I felt bored with gentleness, and listened attentively to the introduction of the steward.

At noon, the housekeeper came to deliver the meal in person, and brought two maids to serve Qu Miaoling, but Qu Miaoling politely refused, saying that he wanted to go home.

Before leaving, Qu Miaoling said with a cold face: "Steward Zhang, who is the master of this Zhuangzi, you must remember it clearly!" ”

Steward Zhang replied again and again, and then watched the carriage leave in a cold sweat.

"In this house, the sky is about to change!" Steward Zhang muttered.

Back in the capital, Qu Miaoling didn't rush back to his home, but went to those shops.

Wen made up for the debt, the shop was renewed, and the number of customers gradually increased.

Seeing Qu Miaoling coming, the new shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and reported, after listening, Qu Miaoling smiled with satisfaction, left a sentence of "keep up the good work", and then went to inspect the others.

Sure enough, without the Wen family's people stirring up, the business of all the shops is normal, and it is still profitable, so how can Qu Miaoling not like it.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Qu Miaoling was not idle, and went straight to the old lady's Buddhist courtyard.

During this time, she was so busy that she almost forgot the clues given by her aunt, when her mother was sick, and the old lady went to take care of her for a while.

Listening to Qu Miaoling mention the original incident, the old lady sighed.

"That's right, when the county lord of Huiling was sick, the doctors said that it was a heart disease, I actually didn't believe it, but I invited many doctors in a row, and they all said like this, so I believed it."

"Grandmother, was anything unusual happening at that time?" Qu Miaoling said with great anticipation.

The old lady thought for a while, and her brows furrowed slowly, "I remember, after your mother died, the maids and women who served her side all died. ”

"All dead?"

Qu Miaoling Wen asked about the identities of the three people, and when she came out of the Buddhist courtyard, she walked slowly in the corridor.

I thought about what my grandmother said.

Those two maids are the personal maids of the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law was also brought by the mother-in-law from the palace, so there must be no problem.

Coincidentally, after the death of their mother, they also followed, how is this not frightening.

And all this happened to make Qu Miaoling feel even more that her mother's death contained a huge conspiracy.

She clenched her fists and returned to Wanzhen Courtyard worriedly.
