It was time to hold the lamp, and Liu Yu waited for Nie Xiaofan to lie down.

Nie Xiaofan sent Xiaohong's brother to Zhuangzi to spread the word, and now he has returned. Liu Xin went to the front yard to meet him.

Nie Xiaofan was very worried about Zhou Qiaoqiao. Although she had never seen her, she knew from the memories of the original owner that this was a little girl who dared to love and hate, and acted decisively.

is such a little girl, who wants to avoid the pursuit of the government, and has no money on her. Just outside like this, I don't know how much I have to suffer. Even if you have the skills, there are too many dangers to face when you are out alone for four months!

Nie Xiaofan couldn't help but think of the days when he didn't have enough to eat when he was a child. I couldn't help but show sadness.

"Girl, don't worry, Sister Qiaoqiao's martial arts are so high, those officers and soldiers can't catch her! Maybe Sister Qiaoqiao has been hiding in Zhuangzi for the past few months. Liu Yu comforted her.

Her martial arts are so high, why don't she come back?

Are you afraid of the guards?

It is not difficult to get out of so many people that day, and it is not difficult to send a message back now, right?

No! Nie Xiaofan smelled the smell of conspiracy!

"Qiaoqiao has always been measured, she was so impulsive at the time, and she left no room for things. She must have thought I was going to die!" Nie Xiaofan looked at Liu Yu and said slowly.

"So she didn't care about being angry for me. With her temper, she would have slipped back to see me one last time, but she didn't. ”

"Maybe something happened to her at that time, and she couldn't get out. "Nie Xiaofan has a bit of a conspiracy theory.

"What the hell kept her from coming back for four months?

The more Nie Xiaofan thought about it, the more frightened he became, no matter how powerful Zhou Qiaoqiao's martial arts were, it was just a fourteen-year-old girl.

Could it be

Imprisoned by whom?

Nie Xiaofan's brain hole is getting bigger and bigger.

Liu Yu is also very worried about Zhou Qiaoqiao, she is not as good as Liu Xin to take the idea. In the past few months, as long as she thought that Qiaoqiao was still wanted by the government outside, and the girl was terminally ill, she was anxious.

Now that the girl is better, Sister Qiaoqiao still has no news. Hearing the girl say this, she couldn't rest assured. Crying with sobs.

Nie Xiaofan hurriedly waved away his cranky thoughts.

She gradually knew how to get along with Liu Xin and Liu Yu. No matter how smart they are, both of them have Nie Xiaofan as their backbone. So at this time, I should be more stable and not let the two of them mess up.

Just as she was about to comfort her, Liu Xin came in. Nie Xiaofan motioned for Liu Yu to help her up, and took a pillow to lean on. He asked, "Is there any news from Zhuangzi?"

Liu Xin shook her head.

"Did Xiaohong's brother ask for us?

"I said that it was the girl's order to see the sick Mama He and the maid, but Steward Zhou personally said that the maid was very sick four months ago and sent home, and now her life and death are unknown!"

Life and death unknown!

In other words, there is no news of even Zhou Qiaoqiao's father

"Steward Zhou also said that Mama He's health is almost better, and she will come back to serve you in a few days. Don't remember that little girl who doesn't fight for it. ”

How can I not remember it?

Liu Xin comforted her again: "Rest assured, Sister Qiaoqiao, Jiren has her own natural appearance." I heard that the old lady went to the government again today to raise the reward amount to 50,000 silver, but there was no news at all before. It shows that the government can't catch Sister Qiaoqiao at all. I can't even touch Sister Qiaoqiao's hair! Maybe Sister Qiaoqiao hid it herself!"

Fifty thousand taels of silver?

That's about 10 million in the future.

Liu Yu cried even more: "It was 20,000 taels before, whether I live or die." Now another 30,000 taels have been added, this is to force Sister Qiaoqiao to her death!"

Liu Xin hurriedly made a face at her, didn't she mean to make the girl worry?

Nie Xiaofan comforted:

"Liu Xin, you're right, no news is the best news. It's that I'm concerned about it. ”

Seeing Liu Xin and Liu Yu's puzzled face, Nie Xiaofan said eloquently:

"The bounty is so high, if she falls into the wrong hands, even if she is sold, it will be a few hundred silver at most. How can you send it to the government to make more money?"

Even if Zhou Qiaoqiao died, the corpse would be worth 50,000 taels of silver when brought to the yamen! Not to mention that ordinary thieves were not her opponents at all.

"This case has caused panic in Beijing, if Ying Tianfu solves the case, it must be made public first, how can there be a reason to hide it?"

"So Qiaoqiao is safe for the time being, she didn't come back, maybe to hide from the officers and soldiers, maybe she thought I was gone and didn't want to come back. ”

Both of them nodded, and Liu Yu suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Girl, then do you say there will be" Liu Xin pulled Liu Yu and stopped her. Liu Yu understood in time that she couldn't worry the girl anymore, and pursed her lips tightly. The fair-skinned little round face looks very cute.

Seeing them like this, Nie Xiaofan smiled gently.

"Don't worry. Qiaoqiao is just a little girl, if there is really a person who does not want to reward silver and can subdue Qiaoqiao, then they will not meddle in their affairs to provoke a little girl. ”

Hearing Nie Xiaofan say this, Liu Xin and Liu Yu were relieved. There are many kinds of truths, and people want to believe the best.

Liu Yu felt that the girl was even more powerful after she got better, and she could actually see what she was thinking, and giggled again.

Nie Xiaofan said in his heart, is this Liu Yu the legendary little white rabbit?

One moment sad, one moment happy, all the thoughts are written on the face. It's still like this

Lovely!

Liu Yu is Nie Xiaofan's nursing sister, only one month older than Nie Xiaofan. The Jiang family used to be a slave, so they treated the descendants of the Nie family very well. Liu Yu has eaten and lived with Nie Xiaofan since she was a child, and she is more proud than other girls. It's a more naïve character.

Nie Xiaofan said again: "Now let's think of a way to ask the old lady to return the reward." Spread the news that I'm well. Maybe Qiaoqiao will come back!"

As he spoke, he asked Liu Xin: "Do you know, where did the old lady get the 50,000 taels of silver?"

If the old couple is really rich, how can they rob their children and grandchildren of money three times and twice?

Nie Xiaofan doesn't think that Old Lady Nie is innocent like others. In her memory, the old lady was still very uplifted. Without his acquiescence, how could Old Lady Nie do ridiculous things again and again?

Liu Xin replied: "Before, the old lady and the eldest master pooled together 10,000 taels, and asked the second wife of Xifu to get 10,000 taels." It's been four months now, and there is no news from the yamen. The old lady asked the second lady again for 35,000 taels. The old lady took 30,000 taels to the yamen early this morning. ”

It is "to take" and "to take". Not borrowing.

Liu Yu took a sip: "It's really shameless, I'm embarrassed to ask the second wife for money!

The second master died five years ago, and the second wife, Lian, said in public that she would be widowed for the second master. Mrs. Nie insisted on driving the family back to her parents' house, but asked the Lian family to hand over the dowry as the cost of supporting the Lian family's children.

Lian's family started as a restaurant. Their family's Juxian Building is open all over the world. Among the second wives' marriage, there is a Juxian Building in the downtown of Beijing.

Juxian Lou is making money every day, and the old lady Nie's abacus is so loud that it can't be loud anymore! Lian naturally refused, and the old lady Nie even showed the letter of resignation.

The final result was naturally that Mrs. Nie jumped up and down and made a fuss, got nothing, and let the people in the capital see a joke again.

The Jiang clan stopped Old Lady Nie's nonsense. Lian moved outside the house with the people in the second room. The orphans and widows didn't move far, and the Jiang family helped find a five-entry house near Nie's Mansion to live in. Before the Jiang family's accident, the Lian family did not return to the Nie Mansion, but only sent two children to kowtow to the two old men during the New Year's holiday. But Mrs. Nie didn't see her once.

Now that something has happened, I want to go and get the money.

What an old couple!

Nie Xiaofan thought to himself that if he wanted to ask someone to find Zhou Qiaoqiao, the second wife would be a suitable candidate. She looked at Liu Yu and said, "What's embarrassing about her? As soon as my mother left, she acted like this, which shows that her mother has pressed her hard over the years." ”

Nie Xiaofan asked Liu Xin again: "What did Mama Yang come for yesterday?

Liu Xin lowered her head: "No, Xiaohong said that Mama Yang was sick, and she was only fined for one month." ”

Liu Yu was originally angry, but when she heard that Mama Yang was sick, she didn't say anything. If you ask who hates Mama Yang the most in the entire Zhuxiang Courtyard, it must be Liu Yu. When Mama Yang went to Changping to grab something, she beat Mama He, who was sick, to the point that she only had one breath left, and Liu Yu could fire when she saw Mama Yang's eyes!

Nie Xiaofan asked again, "Then can the other Xiaohongs inquire about it?"

Liu Xin said: "Whatever she does, it's nothing good to influence them." The girl did nothing to her. ”

Nie Xiaofan smiled: "If you don't say it, I know what's going on." Presumably the old lady went to Xifu yesterday to ask for money, and Mama Yang came to me to explore the situation, and she also wanted to ask me to give some money, right?"

"What?" Liu Yu jumped to his feet angrily, "Let's not mention that this money was used to catch Sister Qiaoqiao, even if that person doesn't know us." People are also our benefactors. How dare the old lady come and ask the girl for money to arrest her?"

Liu Yu said and went to the table to pour a cup of herbal tea and drank it, but she still couldn't suppress the fire: "It's really annoying, and the second wife shouldn't give them silver." I shouldn't have given a cent!"

She looked cute, Nie Xiaofan and Liu Xin were amused by her, Liu Xin said, "What are you panicking about?

Nie Xiaofan echoed: "That's it, you don't want people to think about it, and it's not that they want it, we have to give it!" Even if it is the second wife, it is not necessarily that she took out her silver for nothing, it is estimated that she has made some agreement with the old lady! Now that the Lian family has shifted the focus of business to the capital, how can the Lian family be afraid of the old lady Nie, the mother-in-law who everyone shouts and beats?

Liu Yu is still not at ease: "But what if the big master comes to ask you for it?"

The reason why the reputation of the Nie family did not stink with the old lady Nie was mainly because the descendants of the Nie family valued filial piety, no matter how ridiculous the old lady was, the children and grandchildren of the Nie family gave her enough decency. It's also a decent way to give yourself.

"Don't worry, no matter how confused my father is, he won't lose his official reputation. Now that his mother is gone, if he wants to borrow the power of the Zhou family, he has to stop the old lady from messing around. ”

After the Jiang family married into the Nie family, the old lady Nie and Nie Baijun relied on the Jiang family to ask the old lady Zhou to promote them in the officialdom, so as soon as the Jiang family entered the door, they crushed the old lady Nie to death, and did not let her stumble and embarrass the Zhou family. Besides, if the soft-tempered Nie Baijun can't suppress Old Lady Nie, Nie Xiaofan doesn't mind adding fire to him.

I have managed to pick up this life with great difficulty, so naturally I want to live comfortably, but I can't just let people oppress me casually! Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the pain I suffered?
