Chapter 87 The money can make a ghost run the mill

Zhong Xiaowu's eyes lit up and he asked, "A chance to take advantage of?"

Qian Nanyi nodded and explained: "Aunt Liu thought I was easy to deceive, so I acted like a good fool in front of her. I reckoned that she bought me because she wanted me to find out about you and your godmother, otherwise I would I really can’t think of any value that I can use.”

This is on point.

Zhong Xiaowu laughed and had a good idea in his heart: "Let's go to Nanyi to find our mother."

Qian Nanyi followed Zhong Xiaowu to Luoqiuyuan.

Mrs. Xu was arranging matters for Nanny Lin. When Qian Nanyi and Zhong Xiaowu entered, Mrs. Xu had just finished speaking.

Zhong Xiaowu couldn't hold back the matter, as soon as he entered the room, he walked up to Mrs. Xu, and said excitedly, "Mother, Aunt Liu finally lost her composure."

Seeing Zhong Xiaowu talking about Xu Shi, Xu asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Zhong Xiaowu smiled slightly and explained: "Just now Aunt Liu and Zhong Xiaoren sent me away, and then tricked Nanyi into Aunt Liu's yard, Aunt Liu also gave Nanyi a box of outdated jewelry, in a vain attempt to buy Nanyi. "

Xu laughed when she heard that, and asked Qian Nanyi: "Did Aunt Liu of Nanyi say anything to you?"

Qian Nanyi shook his head and said: "I didn't say anything when I spoke, but sent me away after giving me the jewelry. I didn't say anything else. I wanted to know what she wanted to do, so I took the jewelry and planned to find someone else. Mother discusses the countermeasures, I think she did this because she wants me to pass on the news."

Qian Nanyi told Xu Shi about her doubts.

Mrs. Xu smiled and was in a good mood: "I was just waiting for her to fight back. I just sent a little girl over to inquire about the news. I didn't expect to hit you with the idea so soon. It's considered that she knows how to use it. The next time she looks for you, you just go, and if there is something to do, hold on to her first, Godmother believes that you know how to answer."

Xu felt that Qian Nanyi was much more sensible than Zhong Xiaowu.

Qian Nanyi nodded, knowing what to do.

Xu looked at it with a smile and continued: "The most important thing in this big house in Nanyi is to be careful at every step and do things carefully. Aunt Liu was not born well. The master went out to do business and stayed at their house. At night, Aunt Liu's family got the master drunk, and when the master woke up the next day, he found that he was lying with Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu's family would definitely not want to let go of this matter. In the end, the master promoted her to be his aunt."

Qian Nanyi heard about this matter, and knew that there was definitely something tricky about it, how could it be like this in a normal situation.

This sounded a bit like Aunt Liu's family deliberately plotting against Master Zhong.

Seeing the surprised and suspicious expression on Qian Nanyi's face, Xu smiled lightly: "Why do you think this matter is tricky."

Qian Nanyi smiled embarrassedly and said: "I used to hear some anecdotes when I was outside. At that time I was too young to understand the meaning inside. Now that I have grown up a bit, I have seen too many sinister human hearts. I can understand a little bit, then Aunt Liu's family should have framed her godfather on purpose, in order to climb onto the high branch of her godfather."

Mrs. Xu sighed: "I was pregnant with Wu'er at the time, and I was very angry, so I had to criticize Aunt Liu a lot. Besides, both I and the master thought there was something wrong, but because there was no evidence, Aunt Liu entered After the family is honest, the master is gradually getting better with Aunt Liu. In fact, these are nothing. I think that Aunt Liu is a little ignorant. I had a miscarriage last time. Actually, I found out that I had a relationship with Aunt Liu. It has a lot to do with it, but I didn't expect the master to favor Aunt Liu, so I closed the courtyard door angrily."

Xu said these things to Qian Nanyi, and felt much more comfortable in her heart, and she felt better when talking to someone.
Qian Nanyi held Xu Shi's hand, looked up at Xu Shi and said, "Don't worry, godmother, I know a little bit about medicine stones, how about I help you look at your body?"

Zhong Xiaowu who was on the side also hurriedly said: "Mother, Nanyi didn't lie to you. She knows medicine and stones. Although she is not proficient, I heard people from Qujia Village say that Nanyi cured a woman in their village who had not been pregnant for a long time. Man, that woman is about to give birth."

When Qian Nanyi was busy in the village, Zhong Xiaowu was listening to other people chatting, and naturally heard a lot about Qian Nanyi.

Mrs. Xu was very surprised, she never thought that Qian Nanyi would be good at medicine.

"Nanyi, you really surprised the godmother." Xu's indescribably shocked heart.

Qian Nanyi smiled bitterly: "This is what I learned when I was a beggar."

Xu stretched out her hand with the attitude of giving it a try, and Qian Nanyi began to feel her pulse.

After a while, Qian Nanyi put down Xu's hand and said: "Mother, your body is not suitable for having children. Although I know that you are a little uncomfortable to be honest, it is actually the best for you to be like this."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "Nan Yi, you don't have to feel guilty. In fact, the godmother already knows what her body is like. Last time I invited the imperial doctor to see it, and it turned out to be the same. The godmother has figured it out a long time ago. It's a matter of fate, if you can't have children, you can't have children, that's how it will be in this life."

Qian Nanyi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

But he quickly covered up the bitter feeling in his heart.

What Xu said is right, the matter of children really depends on fate, there is no fate, even if you want to have children, you can't keep them.

Things in the world are all about fate.

Mrs. Xu has to deal with family affairs, so she is naturally very busy.

There are big and small things in the family, and those aunts often make some silly things.

Mrs. Xu was the one who cleaned up the mess.

In the afternoon, Qian Nanyi and Zhong Xiaowu finally went out.

Qian Nanyi followed Zhong Xiaowu to a restaurant in Tianling City, then said a few words to the waiter, and took Qian Nanyi upstairs to the private room to wait.

After waiting for almost half an hour, when Qian Nanyi was getting impatient, he heard a knock on the door.

Zhong Xiaowu was overjoyed, then stood up and opened the door.

It was the waiter Zhong Xiaowu who was talking to, who brought a middle-aged man into the room at this time.

The middle-aged man looked weather-beaten on his face and his skin was dry. Such a person should have been walking outside all year round.

As soon as the man entered the house, Zhong Xiaowu gave money to the waiter and closed the door.

The middle-aged man knew Zhong Xiaowu, and immediately bent down to please him and said, "I don't know why Mr. Zhong is looking for me?"

Zhong Xiaowu smiled and said directly: "It's nothing serious, I just came to ask you if you know something."

The middle-aged man was one of the officials at the gate of the city, he was cautious, but he rarely bullied the people who came and went, it was because of this that Zhong Xiaowu found the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's expression was not wrong, and the expression on his face was also a little weird.

Zhong Xiaowu immediately opened the purse and took out a piece of silver from it.

Qian Nanyi looked at it and felt that Zhong Xiaowu was really too generous, and he would pay ten taels for every shot, but as long as he could find out who killed the old man, no matter how much money he spent, Qian Nanyi felt it was worth it.

The middle-aged man looked greedily at the silver on the table.

Zhong Xiaowu didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "As long as you answer honestly and tell me everything you know, the money will be yours."

After Zhong Xiaowu said this, the middle-aged man put his hands on his lap and squeezed them tightly.

Qian Nanyi didn't move her eyes away, she kept looking at the middle-aged man, she knew that if the middle-aged man knew about this, he would definitely reveal it.

Zhong Xiaowu asked very seriously: "About a month ago, an old man who was driving an ox cart, about five or sixty years old, brought a few women to Tianling City to go to the market. The officials of the old man fell in love with the old man's ox cart, not only took away the old man's ox cart, but also severely injured the old man, do you know who took the lead?"

The middle-aged man turned pale when he heard this.

Looking at Zhong Xiaowu, he hesitated to speak.

Zhong Xiaowu and Qian Nanyi looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, this man knew about it.

Qian Nanyi felt a little excited.

Her grandfather's death can finally be avenged.

Zhong Xiaowu reminded with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I will not reveal a word you said to me today, and I will not betray you, saying that you told us, you just need to say the name of that person." Come out, and then take the silver and leave."

The middle-aged man was very moved, glanced at the silver on the table, then swallowed, his heart was very moved, but the words came to his mouth but he couldn't say them.

Zhong Xiaowu was not in a hurry, and slowly took out another ingot of ten taels of silver from the purse and put it on the table.

Now that the two ingots of silver are placed together, it makes people feel short of breath.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and said: "Young Master Zhong, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but... If I tell you, I really can't hang out in the yamen. I can't afford to offend that person."

This is to ask for more money, such a simple thing.

Qian Nanyi knew that the bottom line of a middle-aged man was here.

Standing up, he said to Zhong Xiaowu: "Brother, it's fine if he doesn't want to say it, there will always be someone who is willing to say it. When the time comes, we'll just find someone else."

The middle-aged man originally said that sentence to report his intention to ask for more money, to increase the price.

But he didn't want Qian Nanyi to say such words suddenly, and he wasn't joking, that is to say, he meant it seriously.

This is not good, if you really find someone else.

The middle-aged man didn't hesitate, and directly held the two ingots of silver in his hands and said, "I mean, I mean, it's the brother-in-law of the prefect Li, our leader, Zhao Butou, he was short of money a while ago, so..."
