Chapter 34: Breaking into the Long House (6)

Qi Keke didn't want to whip someone with a bamboo whip and it would be over, she quickly clamped the bamboo whip under her armpit, took a few steps back, and at the same time took out the water gun in front of her and smacked it on the girl's arm.

"Ah!!!!h

The girl holding the little young master felt a sharp pain on the injured arm just now, and couldn't help but let out a terrible scream, her feet were no longer stable, and she rolled down the steps with the little young master in her arms, and at the same time a choking spicy smell wafted out, Qiu Shi and the girls around her couldn't help screaming, choking coughing and headache, while panicking and wanting to stand up to check the situation of the two people below.

The girl in the water-red gown was so painful that her whole body trembled, and her voice was hoarse, and the little young master who was protected by her didn't know if she was frightened by this change, she sat on the ground and didn't cry or make a fuss, her big eyes were only staring at Qi Ke, and she had long lost the momentum she had when she rushed out of the house just now.

Qi Ke didn't care if she was hated by a little child, seeing him staring at herself, she put away the water gun again and pointed it with a thin bamboo whip.

"Don't! Don't!! ”

Qiu rushed down the steps with a roll, and took his son into his arms to protect him.

"It's me who I'm sorry for you, I didn't be a good stepmother, but my son is innocent, please let him go! I'll pay for what you want! I pay! ”

"Do you pay for it? Well, I won't ask you much, just as I said just now, how much silver is the life of your family, and double your son's share? I didn't ask for much of your money, did I? ”

"No, no! It should be, it should be! ”

Qiu Shi didn't have any rebuttal, and accepted it all, even if she had the careful thought of paralyzing Qi Ke first and then settling accounts afterwards, now that she sees her servant girl like this, she doesn't dare to have any thoughts, just keep her mother and son safe, in fact, the culprit who made Qi Ke like this is their Qi family, what is she doing with a stepmother in the middle.

Thinking like this, Qiu immediately let go of his anger towards Qi Ke, and while nervously protecting his son, he began to calculate in his heart how much money he could give, everything else is easy to say, referring to the basic annual expenses of the girls in the family, but how much is the life of their family of four worth, this is a trap, more can't be given, less is not worth their own life.

"Very good, I want cash, I don't accept silver tickets."

“…… Good, good! "Whether Qi Ke wants cash or silver tickets, Qiu can only agree at the moment.

Qi could see that he had scared enough, so he didn't stay any longer, and turned around decisively, but saw that the gate of the courtyard was crowded with people, and all the onlookers were subordinates, and there were a large group of men and women, blocking the door.

"You guys, let Jean?"

Qi Ke walked straight over, smiled good-naturedly, and all of a sudden, the crowd blocking the way at the door immediately dispersed, and everyone's eyes looked at her indescribably complicated.

"Has anyone seen the housekeeper's account? I need them to be present when the property is counted. ”

“…… The stewards with heads and faces seem to be on the old lady's side. A voice rang out from the crowd.

"Okay, thanks." Qi Ke nodded slightly in the general direction where the voice came, and then turned to the courtyard where the old couple of the Qi family lived behind him under the sandwich formed by the human wall.

The courtyards of this house are independent of each other, not closely connected, so there are many lanes, extending in all directions, halfway through, Qi Ke stopped, and watched the families on the opposite side form several layers of human walls like a great enemy, blocking the narrow lanes so that it is difficult for them to move on their own.
