Chapter 88
When Mrs. Li returned to her room, Qu Miao was still waiting in the room. When she saw her coming back, she rushed forward to meet her, "Mother, what did Dad say? Do you have any enemies?"

Mrs. Li's face was ugly, her expression was in a trance, she looked up at Qu Miao in a daze, after a while, she suddenly smiled sinisterly, and raised her hand to stroke Qu Miao's hair, "Miao'er, your father, your father said let us go to your grandmother's house to hide. Hide, wait for the matter to pass, and then let us come back."

"Ah?" Qu Miao was stunned for a moment, then asked in a panic, "Did Dad say who is going to kill us?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "Your father doesn't know either, you go back and pack your luggage, quietly, don't let others know, lest people find out that we are leaving!"

"Then when will we come back?" Qu Miao still remembered Ji Yuxian, so she didn't want to leave Jingzhou.

"I don't know, let's go!" Shi Li pushed Qu Miao's shoulder.

Qu Miao had no choice but to go back to her room to pack her luggage.

Mrs. Li sat on the bed for a while, unable to hold back the tears. She had been with Qu Wenchang for 20 years, but she was not as good as a girl who was born as a maid. How cruel was he to kill himself for her?

For 20 years, the two of them couldn't say they were very affectionate, but they respected each other as guests. They didn't expect that the person next to them would kill him if they knew each other well!
All these years, she suppressed him and refused to let him take a concubine because she was afraid that the concubine would give birth to a son, and she would no longer have her own place in this family.

He hates himself for this!
In fact, she had already noticed the matter between him and Yuanzhu before, so she was anxious to marry Yuanzhu off, but she never thought that both of them would have children!
She has been disheartened these past few days, but she is not yet desperate, but today, her heart is completely dead!
Not only did he want to kill himself, but he didn't even let his daughter go!
Yes, when they died, he would have no worries at all, and he could live with that bitch.

What kind of relationship between husband and wife is a joke!

The more Li thought about it, the more wronged she became, and the more she hated it, she threw herself on the bed and cried for a while, it was completely dark.

The maid next to her came in, held the lamp, saw Li Shi crying on the bed, and hurriedly came over to persuade her, "Madam, don't be sad, the master must have been seduced by that bitch, and I will drive her out when I figure it out!"

In the past few days, Li Shi was sad because of Yuan Zhu's matter, and the servants all saw it, and thought she was sad because of it at this time.

Mrs. Li wiped her tears and got up, and asked, "Where is the master?"

The servant girl hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Just now someone came from the front yard saying that that bitch had a stomachache, so they called the master over!"

Under the dim light and shadow, Li's eyes were full of hatred, and he looked out of the window quietly.

With her leaving, that bitch Yuan Zhu was only taken advantage of!
But now, she couldn't take care of it any more. According to Qu Wenchang, if she couldn't be killed today, there would be a second time. She had to leave Jingzhou as soon as possible, and her life was the most important thing!
"Ma'am, don't be angry, it's that bitch's vicious tricks that fooled the master, let's see how long she can be arrogant!" The servant girl squeezed Li's shoulders to persuade her.

Mrs. Li raised her hand to brush her hair, and said softly, "Let the servants prepare the meal!"

After the meal, Mrs. Li began to pack things, clothes, jewelry, gold and silver, silver notes, some antique vases, and two large mahogany boxes that she had privately kept over the years.

The next person came to report, the master is not feeling well tonight, so he will sleep in the study but can't come!

Mrs. Li knew that Qu Wenchang must be with Yuanzhu, so she didn't make trouble, she just knew it.

Early the next morning, Qu Miao came over and told Mrs. Li that her luggage was packed!

Li's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she took Qu Miao's hand, "Miao'er will accompany mother to dinner first, and we will leave after the sun rises and warms up."

Qu Miao was absent-minded, nodding her head slowly.

After Si time, when the sun was rising three poles, Mrs. Li summoned her servants and asked, "Where is the master?"

"Go back to madam, the master accompanied the elder son to the silk shop to check the accounts today, and asked the younger one to tell madam that he won't come back for lunch at noon!"

"Well, go down!"

Mrs. Li dismissed the servants, asked Qu Miao to wait in her room, and went to the study alone.

She couldn't just leave in vain. She had been with Qu Wenchang for 20 years, and she always had to give herself an explanation. Besides, she always had something in hand, so that Qu Wenchang didn't dare to act rashly again!

Mrs. Li entered the study room, retreated the servants far away, and closed the windows and doors tightly.

Walking to the bookshelf, Mrs. Li looked left and right, put her hand into the shelf and stroked it.

She is a woman, Qu Wenchang will not let her know some things, but it doesn't mean she doesn't know anything, at least, she has secretly seen it a few times.

Sure enough, a wooden cabinet in the third row of the bookshelf was movable. She gently held it and pushed it in, only to hear the "click" sound of the wooden board moving, and soon the bookshelf moved to the sides, revealing a hidden compartment in the middle. Inside was a mahogany box with copper hoops.

Mrs. Li looked behind her, and stretched out her hand to hug the wooden box out.

Putting it on the table, Li smashed the copper lock with a hammer prepared in advance. After opening it, his eyes lit up immediately.

The wooden box is divided into three layers. On the first layer, there are piles of bank notes, which are heavy in her hand. She glanced at them, at least millions of taels of silver!

She knew that these were the properties of the Ji Mansion embezzled by Qu Wenchang.

The second layer is the ledger of his misappropriation of money, the settlement of accounts with those merchant shopkeepers who are in the same boat, as well as his signature of the cash register and those of the shopkeepers.

The third floor is some rare ancient jades that he has collected over the years. They are all small and exquisite things, but all of them are priceless.

Li Shi looked at these things and sneered silently, both happy and hated.

The happy thing is that with these gold and silver, she and Qu Miao will have no worries for the rest of their lives, but the sad thing is that Qu Wenchang has lied to her so much!

With so much silver and treasure hidden, if she didn't see it, would she have given it to that little bitch mother and child in the future!

The hatred in Li's heart was unsatisfactory, and she planned to take them all away, and not leave any of them to Qu Wenchang!
After finding a bag, Mrs. Li put everything in it, packed it well, put the wooden box back, and restored the bookshelf to its original state.

Qu Wenchang, if you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to you!

With these things, she will be prosperous and rich in the rest of her life, so why should she be afraid?

Holding the burden, Mrs. Li left the study and quickly walked to her yard.

After returning, let the confidants have already prepared the carriage at the back door, and quickly started loading the carriage.

Seeing Li Shi's anxious appearance, Qu Miao wondered, "Mother, don't we say goodbye to Daddy?"

Mrs. Li said with a sneer, "No need, this is your father's intention, let us go quietly. He suspects that there are moles in our house, so no one will tell!"

Qu Miao understood, "Yes!"

With their luggage and that big burden, the two of them hurried into the carriage and rushed towards the city gate.

There was nothing wrong along the way, and soon they arrived at the city gate. There were soldiers guarding the city gate, and they were interrogating the people entering and leaving the city.

Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Li couldn't help feeling flustered, so she just told the driver to leave quickly.

When we got to the city gate, the guards yelled, "Stop the car and search!"

The coachman and Li's maid sat in the carriage and asked, "What happened?"

Mrs. Li also pushed the car door open and asked, "What's wrong?"

The guard held a spear and shouted impatiently, "Get out of the car, get out of the car, and search!"

How dare Mrs. Li show so much money to others, took out a few taels of silver and handed it to the guard, said with a smile, "We are all women and Taoists, who go out of the city to offer incense, and inside is my daughter, I hope the official will do something convenient!"

The guard took the money, but said, "Yesterday, someone died in the city. The higher-ups ordered everyone who left the city to be strictly investigated. Don't talk nonsense, get out of the car!"

Li was startled, "Who died?"

After all, the guard collected the money, and his attitude was not as overbearing as before, and he replied, "It's a guy from the shopkeeper Sheng Yu's family in the Ji family in the city."

A thought flashed through Li Shi's mind, and before she could catch it, she was suddenly pushed aside by the guard, and Qu Miao was also pushed out of the carriage.

Qu Miao hugged Li Shi's shoulders tightly, and said, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Standing under the carriage, Mrs. Li was thinking, something seemed wrong!
Before she could figure it out, the guard who was searching the carriage let out a "huh" and asked, "What's in this bag?"

Mrs. Li woke up suddenly, remembering the bank notes in the bag, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but the bag had already been untied, and the guard's eyes widened suddenly when he saw so many bank notes.

Reaching out for those ledgers again, "What is this?"

Mrs. Li hurriedly got into the carriage, hugging the bank notes and ledgers in her arms, "Don't move, this is my family's property!"

The guard looked at her coldly, "Didn't you tell me about the incense in the city? Why did you bring so many banknotes? Where did the banknotes come from?"

When the guard drank it, Mrs. Li panicked, "It belongs to my family, my family!"

"My lord said that anyone who behaves abnormally will be taken there for interrogation, come with me!" The guard said, and asked someone to come over to lead the carriage.

Mrs. Li hurriedly stopped, "Master! This really belongs to our family. I am the wife of Jifu Qu, and this is all mine!"

"Seeing my lord, it's yours and I will return it to you!" The guard pushed Li Shi away impatiently, and drove the carriage to the government office.

Li Shi and Qu Miao hurriedly followed behind.

When they arrived at the government office, the guard told the situation to Governor Liu of Jingzhou, and Governor Liu also felt strange, what was a woman doing out of the city with so many bank notes.

"Bring me something!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Li's burden was placed in Liu Taishou's court.

Liu Taishou looked at the bank notes, and then at the ledgers. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and he asked with a heavy eyebrow, "Is the son of Shengjing Jifu in Jingzhou?"

The master next to him replied, "Yes, I heard that the eldest son has been in Jingzhou for seven or eight days, and he is checking the accounts!"

The merchants of the Ji family are all big taxpayers in Jingzhou, so the people in the government naturally paid special attention to it.

Taishou Liu nodded and said, "Go and invite Mr. Ji, and if their family's steward Qu Da is here, invite him too!"

"Yes!" A guard responded and walked out quickly.

Li Shi and Qu Miao were both arranged in the side room at this time.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was in a panic, Qu Miao asked, "Mother, what's going on?"

Mrs. Li sat down on the chair and said in a daze, "Miao'er, our family is over!"

It was already noon at this time, Ji Yuxian and Qu Wenchang checked the accounts and were eating in a restaurant. As soon as the dishes were served, they heard a group of government servants come in,

"Is Mr. Ji Chang here?"

The shopkeeper didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I will guide the officials!"

After entering the elegant room, the official sent the head catcher to say politely, "Young Master Ji, our lord invites you to go to the government office!"

Ji Yuxian's demeanor was lazy and calm, without panic, he only asked with a slight smile, "Now?"

"Yes, please, young master, come with us!"

Apart from Ji Yuxian and Qu Wenchang, there were several storekeepers in the room, all of them looked surprised, well behaved, what did the prefect summon Ji Yuxian for?
"By the way, my lord, please tell Guanshi Qu to go with me!" the leader said again.

Qu Wenchang raised his head suddenly, his eyes flickered, and asked, "Does the official know what your lord is looking for us?"

"Guan Qu will know when he's gone!"

"Yes!" Qu Wenchang calmly nodded, followed Ji Yuxian and walked out of the restaurant.

After a stick of incense, the crowd arrived at the government office, and the servant directly led the two of them towards the lobby.

As soon as he entered, seeing Li Shi and Qu Miao were there, Qu Wenchang immediately asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Qu Miao hurriedly said, "Father, you asked me and mother to go to grandma's house. We were stopped and brought here as soon as we arrived at the city gate. You should hurry up and take my mother home!"

Qu Wenchang was even more surprised, "When will I let you and your mother go to your grandmother's house?"

"Yesterday, my mother and I were assassinated. Didn't you let me and my mother go out to hide?" Qu Miao asked.

Qu Wenchang widened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li lowered her head, thought about the whole matter before and after, and asked suddenly, "Didn't you send the person who assassinated Miao'er and me?"

"What did Madam say? When did I send someone to kill you and Miao'er?" Qu Wenchang became more and more frightened.

"Then you said in the study yesterday that no one was killed, so you should continue to send people there," said Li, who suddenly stopped and turned his head.

Liu Taishou looked at their family coldly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, go ahead, who is Qu Wenchang going to kill?"

Li's face turned pale in an instant, and he backed away in fear.

Qu Wenchang's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, "Your Excellency, my wife was frightened yesterday, so I didn't hear clearly, and he didn't say who to kill?"

Liu Taishou sneered, "Let's not mention that for now, Mr. Ji Chang, come and have a look, this account book belongs to your Jifu merchant?"

Ji Yuxian nodded slightly, and took a step forward, the yamen servants above had already taken off the burden and untied it in front of Ji Yuxian.

Qu Wenchang glanced up, trembled all over, and sat slumped on the ground, his face suddenly turned dead gray!
Seemingly trying to understand something for a moment, he turned his head and stared fiercely at Mrs. Li.

Knowing that she made a mistake, Mrs. Li lowered her head and dared not look at Qu Wenchang.

Ji Yuxian picked up the account book and opened it slowly, read several books in a row, and threw them in front of Qu Wenchang, "Uncle Qu, what do you have to say? It's in vain that the Ji family trusts you so much, you actually did this!"

Qu Wenchang knelt on the ground,

"Old slave, guilty!"

Mrs. Li stared blankly, then slumped on the ground with a plop.

……

In the evening, Ji Yuxian came back to the Bieyuan from outside.

Su Jiu was sitting on the wooden railing, holding a book in his hand, carefully reading the words on it.

The servant retreated far away, under the setting sun, the young girl's black hair was like clouds, she was wearing a white fur coat, her face was agile and delicate, she looked like a young lady from someone's family, with bright vigor.

Ji Yuxian asked Jin Feng and others to stay outside the courtyard, walked over slowly alone, stood under the plum tree, looked at the girl with a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes, with a slight smile on her lips, like a spring breeze in March, The garden is full of pear blossoms.

Su Jiu looked up, supported the wooden railing with both hands, her legs were shaking, and she bent her eyes and smiled against the setting sun.

That smile fell on the heart lake like floating clouds, causing ripples, Ji Yuxian walked over slowly, stretched out his arms to hold the girl in his arms, with warm eyes, "Everyone in the world says that her husband is unparalleled in appearance, they just haven't seen Madam before! "

Su Jiu ignored him, and just smiled, "Is the matter settled?"

Ji Yuxian hugged Su Jiu and turned around to sit next to the beauty under the wooden railing, chuckled and nodded, "It's solved!"

The evidence is all there, and there is nothing to deny. Qu Wenchang has also explained everything about hiring a murderer to kill people.

The shopkeepers who were in the same position as him have all pleaded guilty to cheating, making false accounts, embezzling the owner's silver taels, the amount is huge, and their property is confiscated. They will all be punished according to the big law.

"We have to stay in Jingzhou for two more days. Six shopkeepers out of the thirteen merchants are involved in this matter. My husband has to re-arrange the candidates for the shopkeepers." Although the matter is over, the aftermath is not easy. Some arrangements will not affect the business of the shops.

Su Jiu nodded, "Okay!"

Ji Yuxian leaned over to touch Su Jiu's forehead, a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes were like the first snow on the plum petals, clear and enchanting, the long eyes blinked, and the eyelashes swept Su Jiu's eyes, causing strings of numbness.

The man lowered his head slightly, touched Su Jiu's lips, and said with a low smile, "Ma'am, it's all thanks to this success. What reward do you want?"

Su Jiu was numb all over from the goblin's look, and said vaguely, "The 3000 taels of silver for selling the painting is considered a reward!"

"Madam is so easy to satisfy?" The man's voice was sexy, soft and seductive. In the dim light, his eyes were tightly locked on the girl, and he said in a low voice, "I'll kiss you, okay?"

The man's black eyes were dyed with sunlight, hazy like silk, and his red lips were gorgeous, extremely alluring. Su Jiu seemed to be bewitched, her mind was in chaos, looking at his glistening thin lips, she raised her head uncontrollably, Kissing on it with open lips, I feel that the fragrance of water lotus on his body is all in my breath, and it penetrates into the heart and lungs, taking root and sprouting, and I can't drive it out.

The man's lips were slightly cold, Su Jiu closed her eyes and opened her mouth to hold it.

She kissed gently, as if she was tasting something delicious, and the man suddenly took a deep breath, put his hands on the back of her head, and kissed her down heavily.

The setting sun faded little by little, and the light became dim. The two seemed to forget everything around them, and they kissed endlessly.

At night, in the prefect's mansion, it was already the second watch, and the prefect Liu was still sorting out the files during the day.

The master was by the side, writing down the case in the book, rolled his eyes, and said with a soft smile,

"This son of Ji's family is really extraordinary!"

They sorted out the whole case, and they naturally knew all the reasons.

Liu Taishou stroked his beard and nodded, "Master Ji must have known that Qu Wenchang had a problem early on. If he directly checks the account and finds out, firstly, he is afraid that Qu Wenchang will not admit it, and secondly, he is afraid that outsiders will say that the Jifu killed the donkey and harmed the elders. So Simply hand over all the ledgers directly to my lord."

"Yes!" The master chuckled, "There is a problem with the investigation, because Mr. Ji Chang cares a lot about Qu Wenchang's reputation and achievements in Ji's mansion, so it is impossible to report to the official. In this way, not only will the government punish Qu Wenchang Wenchang, he also left everything behind!"

In the eyes of others, Ji Yuxian did not doubt Qu Wenchang, and even respected him very much. Qu Wenchang was not only deceitful and ungrateful, but also wanted his wife to flee privately with money, and even murdered shopkeeper Zhu. The government caught it.

What a murderer!
"Haha, even my lord has been tricked by him!" Taishou Liu shook his head and laughed.

The master also smiled, and couldn't help a little more admiration for the head of the Ji family.

Two days later, Su Jiu and Ji Yuxian left Jingzhou.

Things in Jingzhou have been taken care of. Six of the thirteen shops have changed shopkeepers. It doesn't seem to have any effect. The shops greet and deliver, and the business is booming, as if nothing happened.

Qu Wenchang fell down, and the Qu Mansion was taken back by the Ji family. Li Shi and Qu Miao didn't know where they went.

Ji Yuxian and Su Jiu left Jingzhou City in a carriage, and it seemed no different from when they came, except that there was an extra mahogany box in the carriage, which contained more than 100 million taels confiscated from the homes of the Qu family and six other shopkeepers. bank note.

Inside the carriage, Ji Yuxian was lying on Su Jiu's lap, eyes half closed, with a relaxed expression, and said in a low voice, "Madam, your husband is worth more than when you came here, and you have to rely on Madam to protect you all the way!"

Su Jiu glanced at him, then turned to look out the window with a smile in her eyes,
"Sao Bao!"

It's almost New Year's Eve, and there must be many things waiting for Ji Yuxian to do in Shengjing City, so after leaving Jingzhou, hurry up and rush towards Shengjing.

Seven days later, in the evening, the carriage arrived outside Shengjing City, and entered the city gate together with the people entering the city.

Su Jiu was bored in the carriage for seven or eight days, and now she wished she could rush out immediately, eager to see Chang Huan, Qiao An and the others.

Seeing the joy on the girl's face, Ji Yuxian couldn't help being happy too.

The carriage headed all the way to Ji's mansion. At this time, all the people in Ji's mansion were waiting at the door when they got the news.

The second wife, Jin Mi, Ji Yuxian's third concubine, nurse, Chang Huan, and even the second son of the Ji family, Jize, who had never been out of the house very much, also came out.

Seeing the carriage approaching from a distance, Xie Ying said excitedly, "Come on, come on, the young master is back!"

Today's Xie Ying is dressed in a particularly bright lady, wearing a peach blossom cloud and smoke skirt on the upper body, a pink silk satin skirt with brocade ribbons, a fox fur cape, black hair high pull, and four red gold tourmalines on her temples The hairpin, pearl coral tassels hanging on both sides of her hair, set off her hibiscus face so charming, it directly compares Ren Zhier and Chen Yuchan.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the wind is very strong, the face is shaved like a knife, everyone's eyes are eager, and they don't feel cold.

From far to near, the carriage stopped at the door, Xie Ying stared at the door with burning eyes, her face excited.

Jin Feng opened the door of the carriage, and Ji Yuxian came out from the carriage. He was dressed in a silver dark-pattern robe and covered with a black fur. Su Jiu came out from inside, helped her put on the hood of her cloak, and then held her wrist and stepped down on the footstool.

Seeing Ji Yuxian's gentle expression, Xie Ying suddenly froze the smile on his face.

The second lady glanced at Xie Ying, and laughed silently.

Standing behind the crowd, Chang Huan looked at the hands they held together, his eyes dimmed slightly.

Only the nanny was the happiest, seeing Su Jiu happy, and even more happy seeing Ji Yuxian love Su Jiu so much.

As soon as the two got down, Xie Yingjinmi and the others immediately gathered around, "My lord, you are finally back!"

The second lady smiled kindly, "Is the journey going smoothly?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lao is concerned!" Ji Yuxian said with a gentle and polite attitude.

"Brother, sister-in-law!" Ji Ze smiled warmly.

"En!" Ji Yuxian smiled and nodded.

The nanny and Chang Huan also looked around Su Jiu, the nanny had tears in her eyes, "We miss this lady day and night, but luckily, she came back safe and sound!"

"Well, I'm back!" Su Jiu said happily.

Chang Huan looked at Su Jiu sadly, "Boss, I miss you so much!"

Su Jiu raised her hand and pinched Chang Huan's face, "Are you obedient?"

Chang Huan stretched out his arms to hug Su Jiu, "Boss, I will go wherever you go in the future, and I will never miss a step!"

"Qixi, I thought you were still a child!" Su Jiu scolded, but reached out and patted Chang Huan's shoulder.

She was not as tall as Chang Huan, almost her whole body was held in Chang Huan's arms, but Chang Huan pouted like a child looking for comfort.

Ji Yuxian glanced over, frowning involuntarily, and pulled Su Jiu over, looked at Chang Huan's eyes that were slightly cold, then opened his eyes, looked at Su Jiu and said with a smile, "It's been a hard journey, Madam will accompany you." Husband, go in and rest!"

After all, he dragged her into the mansion involuntarily.

The others all followed.

As soon as Ji Yuxian came back, there were naturally many things waiting for him to take care of, so Su Jiu took the opportunity to sneak back to her yard.

He divided the things he bought in Jingzhou among the nanny and Chang Huan, and then hurriedly asked, "How's it going at the Escort Bureau?"

Chang Huan said, "Don't worry, everything is going well, everything is ready, just waiting for you to come back and open!"

Su Jiu nodded, "Grandpa Cannon and the others, how are you?"

"Okay, everything is fine, just miss the boss!"

After hearing this, Su Jiu was still worried, and wanted to see them immediately, but it was going to be dark outside soon, and the gate of Ji Mansion was about to be closed.

"Chang Huan, let's go out to the restaurant!" Su Jiu said.

"Miss, let's go tomorrow, it's going to be dark!" The nanny hurriedly stepped forward to stop Su Jiu when she heard that Su Jiu was going out so late.

"It's okay, Chang Huan and I will go to the side door, we will come back when we go." Su Jiu said, and led Chang Huan out.

The nanny originally wanted to ask about Su Jiu and Ji Yuxian's journey, but seeing her anxious expression, she had to wait for her to come back.

Su Jiu and Chang Huan left Qifengyuan without even leaving the side door. They found an empty courtyard wall and jumped out, rushing all the way to the restaurant on Yong'an Street.

Qiao An and Da Pao were both in the restaurant, and when they suddenly saw Su Jiu coming back, they were all overjoyed and hurriedly let Su Jiu in.

"Boss, you're finally back!" Qiao An, who had always been steady, couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Hu Dapao poured tea and put it in front of Su Jiu, with a smirk, "Drink water!"

Su Jiu nodded, "How are you all?"

"Okay, everything is fine!" Qiao An nodded with a smile, and without waiting for Su Jiu to ask, she continued, "Everything is ready at the bodyguard bureau, I hired another bodyguard master to teach Cao Datou's people how to walk the bodyguard, and everyone Everyone is waiting for the opening, and I can’t wait to take a trip to try it.”

Su Jiu nodded, "Well, Mr. An has worked hard!"

"No, I stay at the restaurant most of the time, and Da Pao is taking care of the security bureau's affairs. By the way, after receiving the letter from the master, Ah Shu and Cao Datou took people to Qingfengzhai, and they will be back soon!"

"There are a lot of people in Qingfengzhai, we have to find another place to resettle them!" Su Jiu said.

"Don't worry, Master, I've already sent someone to look for it again, and there are some clues in the past two days, but it's easy to find a place to live, how will I arrange it in the future?" Qiao An asked.

Could it be that these people also joined the bodyguard bureau? They don't know how their business will be in the future, so we can't let everyone become bodyguards.

"Don't worry, I already have an idea!" Su Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and told a few people about the sea trade that she had discussed with Ji Yuxian.

After hearing this, Qiao An's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Okay, this is good, if this can be done, we will really grow bigger in the future!"

Su Jiu couldn't help being excited, "In a few years, Ji Yuxian will send someone to train these people in the skills of sailing at sea. After he is proficient, we will go to sea!"

"Boss, can we follow?" Chang Huan asked expectantly.

They have gone up the mountains and walked along the road, but they have never been to the sea. Occasionally, they hear people mention the sea boats, and they are very envious.

Moreover, they all yearn for what is on the other side of the sea.

"Of course, we can all follow the boat when it reaches the sea!" Su Jiu laughed.

"Great!" Hu Dapao and Chang Huan's excited eyes lit up.

It was already dark, Qiao An asked the guys in the restaurant to serve the food and drinks, and they chatted while drinking.

After talking about the Escort Bureau and sailing, Qiao An suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master Xiao, during your absence, Mr. Xiao has been here a few times, and he left when he saw you were gone. I just said you went out. Didn't say anything else."

Su Jiu asked, "Did he ask me for something?"

Joan shook his head, "It doesn't look like something happened, I just came to see you!"

"Well, I got it!" Su Jiu said, but didn't take it seriously, and continued to drink with Da Pao, drinking so much that he even forgot the time.

In Ji's mansion, Ji Yuxian was busy until Xushi, Jin Mi was serving Mo Mo and adding tea, his eyes were fixed on the man, he felt that he had not seen him for a long time, and the man seemed to be more handsome.

Mr. Yu came in and said respectfully, "My lord, it's getting late, let's get busy after dinner!"

It's almost the end of the year, and shops all over the country have handed in their account books at the end of the year, and there are tables full of them.

Although the managers at all levels sorted out all the account books, it took Ji Yuxian a few days and nights to go through them.

Raising his hand and rubbing his forehead, Ji Yuxian half-closed his eyes and asked softly, "Where's Madam?"

Jin Mi was lowering her head, Momo, a glint of gloom flashed in her almond eyes, she got up calmly and rubbed Ji Yuxian's shoulders, and said with a playful smile, "Young Madam went back to the yard early in the morning, it's time to finish eating and rest Bar!"

"No, she's never been willing to go to bed early!" Ji Yuxian chuckled, with an unconscious softness in his voice, opened his eyes and ordered, "Go to Qifeng Garden to make dinner."

Yu Lao lowered his head, "Yes!"

Jin Mi stood behind Ji Yuxian, her eyes darkened, what happened along the way?Ji Yuxian seems to treat Su Yuejiu differently than before!

In the past, even if he wanted Su Yuejiu to accompany him for dinner, he would have someone call her to the Izumo Pavilion, but now he took the initiative to go to Qifengyuan, that foxy girl must have seduced the eldest son on the way!

Jin Mi gritted her teeth secretly, feeling hatred in her heart.

In Qifengyuan, when she heard that Ji Yuxian was coming for dinner, the nanny panicked, Su Jiu wasn't in the yard at all!
Just as he was anxiously at a loss, he suddenly remembered that the last time Su Jiu didn't come home overnight, Ji Yuxian didn't seem to do anything to her?
Thinking of this, my heart felt a little at ease, and I calmed down and hurriedly set up a meal with the servants.

As soon as Ji Yuxian came, he entered the dining room, but saw the nanny alone in the room, rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Where is your master?"

The nanny kept her voice as calm as possible, "Back to the eldest son, our young lady has something to leave the house!"

Ji Yuxian frowned slightly, and slowly raised his eyes to look over.

The two of them went back to the mansion together in the evening, it was already dark, why were they in such a hurry, they left without saying hello?

Ji Yuxian suddenly disliked the feeling that Su Jiu was not under his control after returning to Shengjing, and he didn't even understand her.

Behind her, Jin Mi curled her lips into a smile, showing a worried expression on purpose, "Master, Young Madam, she is a weak woman, and she goes out in the middle of the night, so nothing will happen, right?"

Which lady or woman from a rich family would go out at night, Jin Mi's tone was worried, and the meaning in the words was clearly that Su Jiu, the young lady, was indiscreet.

The nanny raised her head and glanced at Jin Mi lightly.

Ji Yuxian sat down on the seat, and said softly, "You all go down, I'll wait for Madam here!"

Jin Mi was startled, and hurriedly said, "How is this possible? Young Master, you haven't had dinner yet, what should you do if you're starving? What if Young Madam doesn't come back overnight?"

Ji Yuxian raised his eyes and looked at Jin Mi coolly, his eyes were calm but filled with a refreshing chill.

Jin Mi's throat tightened, and she immediately lowered her head, "Your servant is too talkative, your servant will back down now!"

The nanny snorted coldly in her heart, and said respectfully, "The slaves have also stepped down!"

The two went out from the dining room one after another, with the nanny walking last and closing the door gently.

After descending the stone steps, under the dark shadow of the moon, Jin Mi turned her head to look at the nanny, her pretty face was full of coldness, "We slaves must know the master's whereabouts like the back of our hands, and if there is something out of the ordinary, we should persuade it, don't do it." What shouldn't be done made the Ji mansion lose face along with it, what the young lady is going out of the mansion in the middle of the night, the nanny should know clearly, right?"

The nanny half lowered her head, neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a low voice, "Miss Jin also said that we are all slaves and servants, when is it our turn to judge the master's affairs! Ji's mansion is the most respectful , Miss Jin, be careful what you say, don't let the eldest son hear it, even the slaves will be punished together!"

"You!" Jin Mi gritted her teeth and glared at the nanny, then flicked her sleeves and walked out of the courtyard.

The nanny stood there looking at the woman's back, flicked her sleeves, turned and went to her room.

Jin Mi left Qifengyuan and walked towards the main courtyard. The more she thought about it, the more angry she felt. She hated Su Yuejiu for being valued by Ji Yuxian, and also hated Su Yuejiu's servants for disrespecting her.

She is Ji Yuxian's personal servant girl, usually even the three young ladies in the mansion would smile and talk, when did she ever suffer this kind of anger!

Wasn't it because of Su Yuejiu that Ji Yuxian favored him, and even the people in Qifeng Garden rose to heaven, arrogant and proud!

Jin Mi felt resentful, standing under a plum tree, plucked a handful of buds, and crushed them in her hands, with jealous hatred in her eyes.

Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and walked towards Lianbo Garden.
