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

Chapter 162 A worthy death

Afternoon.

Nanny Qin came to Liu's yard.

"Madam, Master, Miss Shu Yue said she wanted to see the Second Master before leaving."

Liu frowned. This woman really had no scruples.

Qu Jingyao calmed her mother down and turned to instruct Aunt Qin:

"Go tell her that my uncle is not in good condition right now and it's not convenient for him to see any outsiders. Let her move without any worries."

"Yes, I will tell her right away."

Liu watched Nanny Qin leave with an unhappy look in her eyes, muttering that Shu Yue was really ungrateful and obviously had bad intentions.

"Hehe... My uncle's looks are so good that even when he's unconscious he can attract other women's attention."

Liu pointed at her in annoyance, saying that she was such an adult and should not talk about her elders without restraint.

"Okay, okay, okay, mother is right."

Qu Jingyao said to Liu in a coquettish manner.

She didn't let anyone know about this matter to save her from worry.

She told Liu that she was going to town and might not come back that night.

"By the way, Yaoyao, have you heard? Qu Shushan is dead. I heard he was beaten to death because he went to a brothel and ran out of money."

Liu said this with disdain in her eyes, and sighed that the man was not a decent person who studied hard, but ended up like this.

Qu Jingyao's eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips curled up in a sarcastic smile.

"Mom, don't you know what kind of people the Qu family are? Forget it, let's just ignore it and live our own lives behind closed doors."

Liu nodded and told her to be careful when she went out and to bring Baiguo with her, as only Uncle Liang was left in the house in the town.

"Mom, don't worry."

Qu Jingyao stood up and walked out of the room.

This time she went to the town to find a husband for her two younger brothers.

This time, Baiguo and I rode horses and took a shortcut out of the village. We didn't want to listen to the gossips of the village women.

"Let's go to Wan Niang's first."

"it is good."

The master and servant rode their horses at full speed along the path.

They just missed the team that was transporting Qu Shushan's body.

In the past few days, Qu Wenxuan and his mother and Qu Huaer went to the county government office together to report that their uncle was beaten to death innocently.

But when the county magistrate heard that Qu Shushan was beaten because he visited a brothel, he became very prejudiced against him. He thought that a student who did not strive for progress was actually visiting a brothel.

And the most popular news in the town was about the eldest daughter of the Hong family who was caught cheating in the town, and the adulterer was Qu Shushan.

"He's a scum, he deserves to be put to death." After receiving the report, Lord Ding sent yamen runners to investigate the matter.

Finally, the coroner also examined the body and found signs of beating, but none of them were fatal.

Someone also testified that he was indeed beaten by the brothel's thugs that night.

The final cause of death determined by the coroner was that he was drunk, fainted in the street and was bitten to death by a stray dog.

Finally, the county magistrate sent someone to warn the brothel and asked them to make compensation. He also ordered the yamen runners to clear out the stray dogs in the town to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

Although the Qu family did not agree, fortunately they received 100 taels of silver in compensation from the brothel.

If Xiaohuo knew that he was mistaken for a wild dog, he would bite the coroner to death.

Qu Jingyao and his servant quickly entered the town.

Although it was afternoon, there were still many pedestrians and vendors on the street.

Soon the two arrived at Wanniang's shop. Qu Jingyao handed the horse to Baiguo and walked straight into the shop.

"Miss Qu is here, please come in."

The person in front of the counter is the shopkeeper Cao, who was trained by Wanniang's sister.

"Manager Cao, isn't Sister Wanniang here today?"

Qu Jingyao saw that there were quite a few people in the shop, but she didn't see Wanniang.

"Miss, the boss is meeting a guest in the back and will be out soon."

Shopkeeper Cao handed the customer over to the female waiter beside him, and then whispered to her mysteriously that the boss had received a big order today.

"If the young lady doesn't come today, I think the boss will have to come to your house in person tomorrow."

"Oh?"

Qu Jingyao was curious about what the big order was?

As she spoke, Wanniang came out from behind with the master and servant.

"Miss Gu, walk slowly."

Gu Qing nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the shop with her maid.

Just happened to pass by Qu Jingyao.

"Sister Wanniang, is this a big deal?"

"Ah! You're so quiet, sister is looking for you, let's talk inside."

Wanniang looked at Qu Jingyao in surprise, and told Manager Cao to keep an eye on the outside.

Wanniang quickly pulled her to the back room, happily poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of her.

"Try it, it suits your taste. Did you see that young lady just now? She is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion in the capital, and she has recently come to visit her parents.

I just happened to like the Suzhou embroidery in our shop and want to make a dress. I wonder if you have any good patterns?

I haven't been to the capital for many years, so I don't know what was popular back then."

After hearing her words, Qu Jingyao frowned slightly. Wanniang then hurriedly explained that if this business order was successful and their reputation was established, they might be able to open a shop in Shangjing City in the future.

Wanniang was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she held her hand and said that no matter what, she would be tied to her in the future.

No matter where she goes to do business, she is her own God of Wealth.

Qu Jingyao burst out laughing: "I know this is a good thing. I just recalled the face of that lady and designed the pattern according to her temperament!"

Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, then she suddenly realized what had happened. She was so scared that she thought the girl was unhappy.

"The lady said she'll give it to me within two days. Once the pattern is finalized, she'll start embroidering it. This lady will need it next month. What do you think?"

Qu Jingyao nodded and said that she would be able to give it to her tomorrow, and a month's work period would be no problem.

When Wanniang heard her words, she raised her eyebrows and asked her mysteriously to guess how much money this business deal was worth.

She shook her head.

"I told Miss Gu that a custom-made Su embroidery dress would cost at least three thousand taels, and the price depends on the style and material."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Qu Jingyao nodded in agreement.

Only then did Wanniang remember that this girl must have something to do when she came here this afternoon?

"I want to ask Sister Wanniang, is there any reliable teacher in town?"

"Aren't your two younger brothers in Qing Academy? Why are you still looking for the teacher?"

Wanniang asked curiously.

She explained that she wanted to go back home where it would be more convenient.

Wanniang also heard a hint of dissatisfaction with Qing Academy in her words.

"There is one, right here in town. He's a successful candidate, but he resolutely gave up the imperial examinations for his wife at home, so he could focus on taking care of his mother and frail wife."

When Qu Jingyao heard about this gentleman's situation, she was very satisfied. A student taught by a person who values ​​friendship would not be a pedantic Confucian scholar.

When Wanniang talked about this scholar, she did not hide her regret for him. If it were not for the burden of his family, he would probably have achieved great success.

"Sister Wanniang, do you know where this gentleman lives? I would like to visit him."
