Chapter 318 Farmer Girls Are Not Easy To Mess With (8)

Li Xiu'e's eyes lit up immediately, "Is what you said true? I can have as much ginseng as I want?"

Jiang Yan nodded, "Of course it is true, as long as you can help me get the jade pendant in Su Mu's hand, the ginseng I find in the future will be yours."

Anyway, she will go to Beijing soon, how much ginseng she wants by then is not a matter of saying?Maybe she can get something more precious than ginseng, after all, she saved Prince Jing's life!
Li Xiu'e's eyes flickered slightly, she just said it casually, but Jiang Yan believed it, or did that person really lose a jade pendant?

She didn't tell Jiang Yan the truth, but responded vaguely: "I know, leave this matter to me, now can you tell me where the two ginsengs are hidden?"

"of course."

After Jiang Yan told her the location, Li Xiu'e left in a hurry.

Sister Qiao is still waiting for her outside, she will inevitably see something is wrong after a long time, she had better leave earlier.

After she left, Jiang Yan closed the courtyard door, turned around and walked towards the house where Xiao Yu was.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Yu holding a medicine bowl and was about to put it on the table beside her. She hurried over to take it, "Young Master Xiao, let me do this little thing."

Xiao Yu didn't force her, but thanked her in a low voice.

"Young Master Xiao, you are being polite. You are still a patient. This is what I should do. By the way, I think you have gradually regained consciousness, and you will recover in a short time, and you will be able to return to Beijing by then." Jiang Yan Said with joy.

Xiao Yu suddenly raised her head to look at her, her eyes were scrutinizing, "Miss Jiang just said to return to the capital? I don't seem to have disclosed my identity. How did Miss Jiang determine that I am from the capital?"

Jiang Yan realized that she had been exposed, and immediately thought of a way to remedy it, "That's because I saw that Mr. Xiao's clothes are different from ours, and I can tell that he is not ordinary. I think only people in the capital can wear them, and... ..." Jiang Yan paused, blushing on her face, and shyly glanced at Xiao Yu, "And Mr. Xiao is so handsome, I guess only a person from the capital can match you."

"So it turns out that Miss Jiang is very smart."

Seeing that he not only did not deny it, but praised her instead, Jiang Yan was overjoyed, and then said: "Mr. I don't have the chance to see you again, I'm quite reluctant, I just feel that this period of time has passed too fast."

"Ah."

Seeing that he just hummed but said nothing, Jiang Yan couldn't help but secretly worried.

What does he mean?
She had hinted so clearly, why didn't he answer?In this way, can she still go to Beijing with her?

Just as she was about to continue asking, Xiao Yu suddenly raised her hand and coughed lightly, then waved her hand, "Miss Jiang, I'm a little tired, I have something to say when I wake up."

Having said that, Jiang Yan naturally couldn't force her to stay, so she responded softly, and left with the medicine bowl in her hand.

What she didn't know was that as soon as she left, a person appeared in Xiao Yu's room, and this person also told Xiao Yu the content of the conversation between her and Li Xiu'e verbatim.

"She really said that?" Xiao Yu's eyes sank instantly, and he tapped the quilt a few times with his fingertips, and ordered: "Go on and check to see who she has had contact with before."

"My lord is suspicious..." The dark guard was taken aback, and looked up at Xiao Yu.

"That's right, the king suspects that she belongs to the prime minister. Otherwise, how could she, a peasant girl who has never been out of the village, guess that the king is from the capital? I bought this dress casually in the town, but she Isn't it questionable to claim that the clothes are not ordinary?"

The dark guard lowered his head, "This subordinate will go and investigate."

"Well, let's go."

After the dark guard left, there was a slight snort in the room, "How dare you plot against me? I really don't know what to say!"

-

In order to prevent Boss Su from attacking Su Mu, Zhao Xiaowan sat in Su Mu's room for a whole day, and she didn't get up until she heard a sound coming from outside the courtyard.

"Mu Mu, stay in the room and don't move around. Mom, go out and have a look. Maybe your father and the others are back."

Su Mu nodded obediently, "Okay, mother, let's go."

Zhao Xiaowan closed the door tightly. As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw Mrs. Su holding two ginseng sticks and looking left and right with excitement.

Li Xiu'e was the first to spot her, and said proudly: "Xiaowan, you are here, come and have a look, this time I found two more ginseng roots on the mountain, if they are sold in the town, they will definitely sell for a lot of money! "

Zhao Xiaowan walked over, glanced in the direction of the ginseng she mentioned, and then quickly looked away, "Congratulations, sister-in-law, your luck is really good. Sister Qiao and I have been to the back mountain more than once, but even the ginseng I have never seen a shadow, you have only been there twice, but you can meet ginseng again and again, if you don’t know, you may think that you found it in advance, hid it, and took it out when you need it.”

Hearing her words, Li Xiu'e's heart skipped a beat, and when she saw Mrs. Su's suspicious gaze, she suddenly became anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I do such a thing! You treat ginseng like wild vegetables The same everywhere? In order to find these two ginsengs, Qiaojie and I almost searched the entire back mountain, if I wasn’t lucky, I’m afraid we might not be able to find them like you.”

As she said that, she dragged Qiaojie who was squatting aside to watch the child over, and said, "It happens that Qiaojie is also here. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

Sister Qiao lowered her head, intentionally avoiding Zhao Xiaowan's gaze, and said in a low voice, "Mother's luck is indeed very good. We searched the entire back mountain to find these two."

Thinking of her mother's warnings when she returned home, Sister Qiao swallowed her saliva, but she didn't say the words "but two ginsengs are in the same pit".

She knew that if she said this, with the temper of her grandmother and grandfather, her mother would definitely be kicked out, and she might even be implicated.

In order to continue to have a place to live, she finally chose to conceal the truth.

She knew that she felt sorry for Aunt Xiaowan, but she had no choice but to survive.

I hope Aunt Xiaowan can forgive her.

After listening to Qiaojie's words, Mrs. Su's expression finally eased.

She knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was as obedient and kind as the eldest, so she would definitely not lie to her.

only……

Mrs. Su turned her head to look at Zhao Xiaowan, and gave her a hard look, "Don't talk about unreasonable things in the future, your sister-in-law is usually so kind to you, how can you bear to slander her for hiding ginseng? What a white-eyed wolf! "

Zhao Xiaowan didn't refute, and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "It's my fault, I'm really sorry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not talk nonsense next time."

From Qiaojie's eyes, she already knew what she wanted to know, and she didn't need to worry about it any further.
