Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Chapter 222 Who betrayed the village?

"Don't worry. This time, my daughter went and found that the uncles are all very outstanding people. With them around, nothing will happen. Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang in the city will definitely make arrangements."

Qu Jingyao comforted her mother softly, and when she saw that her emotions had stabilized, she turned around and asked about her uncle and elder brother's situation in the village.

It was exactly the same as what Dabai had told her.

She talked about the people she met in the village and told them what she learned from them.

Qu Qingchen was full of doubts when he heard his sister's words. He had also wondered why those people had such a clear goal. If he hadn't run fast with his family, he would have really died.

"You mean someone betrayed our family, so those people had ulterior motives..."

Qu Qingchen analyzed his sister's words and wondered who in the village hated their Qu family so much.

Li Jun listened to their words, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. It turned out that he had guessed it, but he didn't expect...

"Could the only people in this village who have a grudge against my family be from the Qu family? But this time, the Qu family's wife was also hacked to death. I heard that her death was so tragic, her whole body was chopped into pieces like meat paste."

"Yes! Quite a few people from the Qu family died this time."

Qu Jingyao was also confused this time. If it wasn't a member of the Qu family, then who could it be?

Liu advised her not to think about it if she couldn't think of it. She had been traveling so long and dusty, so she probably hadn't had dinner yet, right?

Yue Niang hurriedly called Yun Qiu beside her to prepare food and hot water, so that the eldest lady could wash up and have dinner.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Yun Qiu bowed politely and left the room.

Qu Jingyao took her aunt's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Aunt is still good to me. Hey, where are my two brothers? Is my uncle in better health?"

The family suddenly laughed out loud in response to her series of questions.

Yue Niang smiled softly, reached out and touched her forehead and said:

"Don't worry, your uncle is fine now. Xiaoyang and his brother are staying with the Master's family, so it's convenient for them to take care of their Master's wife on weekdays."

Qu Qingchen then asked why Yan and Chu wanted to attack Yuan Shao?

"Well... I heard that the Yan and Chu coffers were empty, so they agreed to lend troops to Shuchuan to attack Yuan Shao. In other words, Shuchuan paid money to hire the Yan and Chu armies."

"Is this a joke? Is the Emperor of Yanchu so brainless? Can that little bit of silver offset the losses on the battlefield? Stupid!"

Li Jun slammed the teacup onto the table with a "bang". Yue Niang glanced at him disapprovingly, reminding him that he was going to scare the children.

Li Jun touched the tip of his nose, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Qu Jingyao discovered that her uncle was an interesting person and he always obeyed her aunt's words.

Soon, Yun Qiu knocked on the door and reported back, "Miss, the hot water is ready."

Liu and Yue Niang urged her to wash up first, have dinner and then rest, and they could talk about it tomorrow.

Qu Jingyao stood up with a smile, bowed to everyone, and left the room.

After she left, everyone in the room dispersed.

Qu Jingyao returned to the yard and looked at Yun Qiu who was serving her, and asked her why she didn't see Bai Guo.

"Reporting to the young lady, Sister Baiguo went to the town and did not come back tonight."

After hearing this, Qu Jingyao frowned and didn't ask any more questions.

"You don't have to wait on them. Just ask them to bring the food into the house."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After saying this, Yun Qiu bowed and left the room.

Qu Jingyao walked behind the screen and looked at the steaming bathtub with a layer of flower petals floating on it. A happy smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She felt more at ease at home.

"Master, actually...actually, you can try to store the Bodhi tree in the space."

"Ah? Can I do that now?"

Manman was silent for a moment before speaking again, "I'll go talk to the ginseng spirit. With it and Xiaohuo's help, there shouldn't be any problems. At worst, I'll just fall into a deep sleep for a while, which won't be a big deal. At least I won't hurt you, my master."

As soon as Manman finished speaking, Qu Jingyao's first thought was to refuse. She didn't want Manman to suffer any harm, not even a little bit.

"Master, I'm just saying, just in case. It's not certain, but at least if we take it in, the space will be upgraded again, which will be helpful for what you are going to do next, and..."

Manman was a little hesitant to say the following words, and was reluctant to speak them out loud.

She was confused and emphasized again that she would rather not accept the benefits than do anything that would harm it.

"Master, don't worry. If you succeed this time, it will be very beneficial to everyone, including the ginseng spirit."

"Oh? What's the benefit?"

"Master, you will know later. Okay, your maid is here to bring you food."

After Manman finished speaking, Yun Qiu's voice rang out from outside the door.

"My lady, this servant has brought the food."

Qu Jingyao raised her eyes towards the door and said softly, "Come in, put it on the table and you can go down."

Yun Qiu quickly came in with a lunch box, and at the end asked her considerately if she wanted some hot water.

"No need, I'll wash it right away. Have mother and aunt rested?"

"Well, the eldest lady and the others have gone back to rest. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Sister Baiguo isn't here today, so the second lady asked me to wait in the eldest lady's courtyard. If you need anything, just call me."

Qu Jingyao stood up from the tub, splashing water.

Without getting any signal from his master, Yun Qiu leaned over and stood obediently beside the table.

Qu Jingyao walked out from behind the screen, and Yun Qiu immediately stepped forward, took the handkerchief from her hand, and wiped the water droplets from her hair.

Yun Qiu sighed that the eldest lady was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, and every time she saw her, she would be stunned unconsciously.

"Hehe, how many people have you met?"

"Really, the eldest lady is the most beautiful person I have ever seen." Yun Qiu tried her best to explain.

Qu Jingyao smiled helplessly.

Yun Qiu quickly helped her tidy up her hair and simply tied it up.

"Yunqiu, tell me what happened in the village after I left."

"Oh, okay, Miss, nothing major happened after you left. It's just that a girl named Shu Yue came to the mansion and made a scene once, but was sent away by the Madam.

I haven't seen him since then. A few days ago, the eldest young master reminded the guards in the house to increase patrols, and the incident in the village also happened last night.

I heard that the two neighboring villages were massacred. Fortunately, our Lingshui Village was warned by the eldest young master before, but some people simply didn't listen to him, so..."

Yun Qiu's face was filled with anger as he spoke. I guess his elder brother was also very helpless in the situation at that time?
