Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 394, Maoer Mountain
Zhao Zhuoxiang withdrew his aggrieved expression, and looked at Xiao Qing in a daze.

"What are you doing outside the city this afternoon?"

Xiao Qing said: "Of course it is for the charcoal kiln in Xishan. I have to speed up the process quickly and start the charcoal kiln business."

Zhao Zhuoxiang stood up, packed her clothes and hair accessories, and asked with a smile: "Why are you still thinking about the charcoal kiln? You have already returned to the Prince's Mansion of Pingning County. It is good to be the little princess who returns. As for those charcoal kilns Ah, fans, and cornel noodles, you don’t care about them all.”

Xiao Qing stared at him and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhao Zhuoxiang didn't want her to continue to have relations with those vulgar people, let alone touch those vulgar things, but he was afraid that Xiao Qing would be unhappy.

"No, the land of the Xishan charcoal kiln is in my father's hands. I can't get it back for a while, and we can't do anything if we go to Xishan." He said with raised eyebrows deliberately.

He didn't want her to touch those things again, he wanted her to return to her status as the little princess.

Seeing his dodging eyes, Xiao Qing knew that he deliberately said that the matter of Xishan could not be accomplished, and she was too lazy to coax his small thoughts.

She grabbed his collar and pulled him out: "Come with me, isn't the land in Xishan in your father's hands? You go with me to find your father and ask him to sell the land in Xishan to me!"

Zhao Zhuoxiang screamed, and Xiao Qing carried him to the outer courtyard.

Along the way, Zhao Zhuoxiang saw a few servants behind the second hall cleaning the corridor and the eaves, and some were weeding on the ground. The servants sprinkled water to wipe them. Several people got busy and went to the inner courtyard. Waiting for the servant girl to deliver the lacquer tray to the tranquil courtyard.

He remembered that he hadn't seen anyone in the second hall for a long time, and now the people inside came out again?Moreover, the Prince's Mansion of Pingning County is much cleaner.

Xiao Qing dragged him past the second hall and came to the second door.

Zhao Zhuoxiang cried out in pain and begged all the way, until Xiao Qing pushed him outside the second door, and the two stopped.

"Qingqing, I can't go home, as long as I go home, I won't be able to come out again!" Zhao Zhuoxiang said in anxiety and fear.

Xiao Qing looked at his worried look, and understood his difficulties very well. After all, no one in Pingning County Prince's Mansion is willing to make friends with him. Under such circumstances, if she wanted to force him to give Xishan to her, it would be a bit kidnapping.

She asked: "Ah Xiang, I won't embarrass you at the charcoal kiln place in Xishan, you can go back, I still have a lot of things to do, I can't accompany you to make trouble anymore, you can't live in my house, you are not afraid of others saying, I I'm afraid, what uncle and aunt said is very true, for the sake of the safety of the two families, in the future, you should stop interacting with my family and go back quickly."

Seeing Xiao Qing's serious face, Zhao Zhuoxiang didn't know what kind of things she had experienced when she returned to Beijing these days. He wanted to help her, but he was afraid that she would be involved in business matters.

Seeing that Xiao Qing turned around and was about to leave, he stepped forward and blocked her way.

"Qingqing, I'm not leaving!" Zhao Zhuoxiang said solemnly: "I just lied to you when I said that the land in Xishan is in my father's hands, but in fact it's still in my hands. Don't listen to what my father and mother say. It was so hard to find you, how could I have less contact with you!"

Seeing Zhao Zhuoxiang's simple and serious face, Xiao Qing couldn't bear it, but she didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"Ah Xiang, I want the land in Xishan very much. It is to burn good charcoal. I want to expand the charcoal business. I have already found someone to help me burn it in Yaoshan. The charcoal kiln is just a matter of igniting the fire. So if you are really willing to help me, sell me the land in Xishan, rest assured that I will give it to your family at the market price, and I will give you [-]% of the profit from the sale! Do you think so?"

Zhao Zhuoxiang saw that Xiao Qing was determined to want the charcoal kiln in Xishan. At first he used the charcoal kiln as an excuse to trick her into coming back, but he didn't expect that she really wanted the charcoal kiln.

"Qingqing, the charcoal kiln is very important to you? Do you have to?"

Xiao Qing said sincerely: "Yes, it's very important!"

Zhao Zhuoxiang nodded continuously: "Okay, okay, I'll help you go back and get the title deed, and I'll go back and get it right away!"

Saying that, Zhao Zhuoxiang turned around and left.

Seeing him running away aggressively, Xiao Qing asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Zhuoxiang didn't turn his head back and said: "I'll go home to get the title deed, don't wander around in the afternoon, wait for me!"

Seeing that he was running fast, Xiao Qing couldn't catch up with him, so she simply followed him. She would go to see the various villages in the Prince's Mansion of Pingning County in the afternoon. If it was too late, she would go to Mao'er Mountain first.

She inquired with a few maidservants that the wives and stewards of the Pingning County Prince's Mansion were basically sent to various villages to do rough work, and several of the big stewards and wives were assigned to Maoershan.

In the afternoon, just as Xiao Qing was about to leave, Zhao Zhuoxiang ran over on horseback.

The two met at the gate, Xiao Qing saw that his head was covered with sweat, and asked with a smile: "Have you got the title deed?"

Zhao Zhuoxiang nodded heavily, took out a piece of crumpled paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Qing: "Look!"

Xiao Qing took the paper in his hand, opened it for a closer look, it was not one piece of paper, but several folded papers together, she flipped through a few papers, the more she looked, the more she frowned: "Ah Xiang, this is not just the site of the Xishan charcoal kiln. , there is Zhuangzi next to it, and the entire land deed of Xishan, what are you doing with so much?"

Zhao Zhuoxiang laughed: "It's okay, these will be mine sooner or later, then mine will be yours, and I will give them to you!"

Xiao Qing hissed, took out one of the papers, and handed the others to Zhao Zhuoxiang: "No, I don't have that much money on me, it's only enough to buy your charcoal kiln. I'll just take this one." Yes, I will give you a paperwork for buying and selling the land later!"

"Take it all!" Zhao Zhuoxiang pushed.

Xiao Qing glared: "Take it, I don't want anything except the land deed!"

Zhao Zhuoxiang was most afraid of her staring, so he was so frightened that he quickly accepted it.

"I'm going out of the city, I'll tell you when I come back!" After Xiao Qing accepted the land deed, he was about to leave with his horse belly.

Zhao Zhuoxiang saw Xiao Qing dressed in men's clothes, and quickly chased after him: "I'm with you, I'm not at ease if you dress like this alone!"

It's okay for Xiao Qing to think about it, he followed, in case something happened, she at least had someone to take care of her.

"Let's go then!"

Zhao Zhuoxiang followed Xiao Qing and went out of the city.

Outside the city, Maoerzhuang.

Maoerzhuang lives next to Maoer Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the forest is luxuriant. Although it is late autumn and winter is approaching, there is still some greenery here.

Most of the villagers in Maoerzhuang are the older family members of the Pingning County Prince's Mansion. They have farmed here for generations, but the place changed four or five years ago.

After the senior women in charge of the Prince's Mansion of Pingning County arrived, several young stewards of the He family also came.

The harvest in the field, as well as the prey on the mountain, the medicinal materials on the mountain, and the wild vegetables on the mountain...all belong to them.

They scolded the villagers severely, robbed the food, seized the property on the mountain, beat and scolded them frequently, and broke the legs and feet of several old villagers.

The villagers have dared to be angry and dare not speak out over the years, and the mother-in-law and the steward are so wounded all over their bodies that they dare not resist easily.
