Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 27
Hearing Xinyou mention the bookstore, Xiao Lian couldn't help but think of the book that Xinyou left in the small mountain village, and those brown stains.

Does the bookstore that the girl asked Nanny Fang to inquire about have something to do with that book?
Mother Fang should step down and leave, leaving Xiaolian to watch the night.

There were only two people left, and Xiao Lian plopped to her knees.

Xin You was helpless: "Why are you kneeling again?"

Xiao Lian wiped her tears and said, "Thank you for avenging our girl."

"You don't have to thank me, this is my reward for borrowing Miss Kou's identity." Xin You pulled Xiao Lian up and asked seriously, "What do you think about the millions left by Miss Kou?"

Xiao Lian was stunned by the question: "You, what do you think?"

"What I think doesn't matter."

Xiao Lian was puzzled.

Xin You had no choice but to make it clear: "I'm not Miss Kou."

She took it upon herself to take Miss Kou's property back from the Shaoqing Mansion, and then what?
She is not qualified to handle this money.

Only then did Xiao Lian come to her senses, and murmured: "Yes, you are not my girl..."

As the little maid said, she wanted to cry again.

God knows how many times, looking at this face similar to the girl, she thought that the girl was still alive, and she was still by her side.

"But, maidservant, I would rather you take this money than make it cheaper for Shaoqing's mansion!"

Xin You shook her head: "I can't take this money."

It was a helpless act for her to borrow Kou Qingqing's identity, but if she took other people's property, wouldn't she become a shameless person who would occupy the magpie's nest.

"Could it be that the jackals in Shaoqing's mansion are being taken advantage of?" Xiao Lian looked unwilling, "The girl was killed by the eldest wife, but the others are not good either. The eldest son avoids the girl, and the second girl ridicules the girl." , the Elder Master has no intention of making decisions for the girl today. As long as the servant thinks that these people hate the girl and spend the girl's money in the future, it will be unfair for the girl. "

Xiao Lian was about to kneel down again, but was held back by Xin You.

"Girl, please help our girl again. If you have a way to get the money back, the servant girl will decide for our girl. You can keep some of it for your own use, and the rest can be donated to build roads or donated. In short, you can't." The Shaoqing Mansion is cheaper!"

Xin You listened carefully to Xiao Lian's thoughts, and said frankly, "It's almost impossible to get back all of Miss Kou's millions of dollars."

That's not tens of taels or hundreds of taels, but a million taels of silver!How many people can swallow such a huge sum of money and still be willing to spit it out?

Just like what Kou Qingqing's mother told Nanny Fang, as long as her daughter can marry into the Duan family, or marry out with dignity, there is no need to mention this huge sum of money to her daughter.

Kou's mother did this because she knew that human nature cannot stand the test of such a big temptation, even if that person is her own mother or her daughter's grandmother.

"Well, how much can I get back?" Xiao Lian asked blankly.

"If Miss Kou leaves the cabinet, it should be the easiest way to get back some of it. But you also know that I can't go this way. I can only say that I will try my best. If everything goes well, maybe I can get [-]% back..."

Kou Qingqing's biggest problem is that she is an orphan, without any help from outside the Shaoqing Mansion.And the account book in Fang Nanny's hand is not evidence, if she really wants to ask the old lady for the account book without any preparation, the old lady can completely deny it.

Except for a little nanny, who can prove that such a large amount of the Kou family's property went into the Duan family's pocket back then?
Sixty percent is the ideal amount that Xinyou thinks he can get back.

"Sixty percent——" Xiao Lian's eyes returned to clarity, "If you can really get back sixty percent, then thank God, and the rest... just be a wife to honor the old lady..."

No matter how unwilling she is, Xiao Lian also knows that the old lady is Kou's mother's mother and Kou Qingqing's grandmother, if she really can't get it back, she can only recognize it.

If she insists on getting it all back, it will be difficult for others and there will be no measure.

After talking about this matter, Xin You said, "Xiao Lian, I'm leaving Shaoqing's Mansion."

Xiao Lian's complexion changed slightly: "Girl, didn't you want to borrow our girl's identity, why did you leave Shaoqing Mansion?"

Xinyou smiled: "Isn't it good to leave here?"

When Xiao Lian thought of the dirty Shaoqing Mansion, disgust flashed in her eyes, but she was more disturbed: "Although this place is disgusting, it is our girl's ancestral home after all. If you go out alone, let's not talk about Shaoqing Mansion Answer or not, there is no guarantee in terms of safety."

Although it is said that thanks to the blessing of the founding queen, women can divide the land and establish a household, which has greatly improved their status compared to the previous dynasty, but in reality, it is not so easy for an unmarried woman to live alone.

People who have no money are bullied, and those who have money but no power are equally bullied.

"Since I plan to leave, I will naturally gain a foothold in the capital." Seeing that Xiao Lian wanted to persuade her again, Xin You said bluntly, "I want to leave here, and the more important thing is that I have my own affairs to attend to."

Whether the Shaoqing Mansion is good or evil, it is Kou Qingqing, not Xinyou, who is related to it.

Hearing what Xinyou said, Xiaolian swallowed those worried words, and said with a firm expression: "Girl, wherever you go, Xiaolian will follow you."

Xin You was silent for a while, then said softly: "If you follow me, it will be much more dangerous than being in Shaoqing's Mansion."

"My maid is not afraid. As long as I can be by your side, my maid is not afraid of anything."

"You just need to think it over clearly." Xin You said everything she needed to say, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

In the silence of the night, unknown insects screamed.Xin You tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and pulled out a book from under the pillow.

It is a book that has been turned over many times at a glance, and the source is written in the lower corner of the cover. It is Qingsong Bookstore.

The next morning, people from the Qiao family came, and the second master, Duan Wenbai, and the second wife, Zhu Shi, came forward to count and check their belongings.

Mrs. Qiao has been married to Duan's family for more than [-] years. The dowry was either used or used to make money. It took a lot of effort to count.

As soon as Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang entered the house, they realized something was wrong.Duan Yunlang has an irresistible temper, he immediately stopped a passing servant and asked: "Why is the house so messy, and there are still many faces?"

The stopped servant's eyes flickered, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Dumb?"

Duan Yunchen pulled Duan Yunlang: "Second brother, please go and greet grandma first."

The two brothers rushed to Ruyitang and got the news that the old lady was unwell and resting.

Duan Yunlang blinked: "Brother, something must have happened at home!"

"I'll go ask my mother."

Duan Yunchen was quite calm, he quickened his pace and walked a few steps before meeting Duan Shaoqing.

Today is not only a holiday for the students of the Imperial Academy, but also a holiday for officials. Duan Yunchen didn't find it strange that Duan Shaoqing appeared at home, so he hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Father, the family seems to be a little busy today. Is there something going on?"

Duan Shaoqing glanced at his still calm son, then at his nephew who couldn't hide his curiosity and worry, and said with a straight face: "People from your grandfather's family are here."
