She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 149: I just need to know whether he is good or not.

The house was low, and two children, about ten years old, with dirt on their faces, were cutting grass for pigs in the yard.

A man in his thirties was sitting at the door of the main house, busy weaving a winnowing basket.

The young woman was busy cooking in the steaming kitchen, and in the midst of her busy schedule she also scolded her disobedient three-year-old daughter who was crying around her.

There was a baby a few months old sleeping in the cradle in the main room.

Faced with such a family situation, Liu Yingyue felt embarrassed to ask for it for free, so she gave twenty cents and bought two torches.

"It's too much, ma'am. If you don't mind, come to my house for dinner." The woman who cooked took the coins and said embarrassedly, "It's just a simple meal, not a respectful gesture."

Liu Yingyue was in a hurry to find Liu Huaiyue and had no appetite at all.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, but I've already eaten." She declined.

"Yingyue..." Gao Yucheng didn't finish his words when he found Liu Yingyue gave him a cold look. He had to take back his words and left with Liu Yingyue.

It was getting dark. The family had finished their meal and bathed. When the male owner of the farm was about to close the door and go to sleep, a man on horseback came from the road and waved to the male owner, "Brother, ask something."

The rider pulled the reins and rode towards him.

"Oh, what's the matter, brother?" The host smiled politely.

The rider dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted him, gesturing with his hands, "Is there a young lady of this height, under 20 years old, and beautiful passing by here? She is wearing a light apricot jacket, a dark green skirt, and has fair skin."

"Her name is Yingyue, right?" asked the host.

Qin Yiran raised his eyebrows, took out a handful of money from his sleeve and handed it over, "Excuse me, big brother, when did she pass by here?"

The man refused to take it and waved his hand. "At dusk, she and another young man came to my house to buy torches. The lady was very generous and gave me 20 cents for two torches."

"The other young man? What does he look like? Did he tell me his name?" Qin Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I don't know his name. I didn't hear her call him that. He looks like a young man... early twenties, gentle-looking, a little shorter than my brother, and dressed quite luxuriously, like the son of a wealthy family."

Qin Yiran's eyes gradually turned cold. He stuffed the money into the man's hand and hurriedly left on horseback.

He did not continue to look for Liu Yingyue, but returned the same way.

The man held the money in his hand and blinked, "Why give so much..." He counted it, "Oh, there are forty-three coins!"

I actually met two wealthy people today.
-
Liu Yingyue dragged Gao Yucheng to Qianjiaqiao Village.

Following Gao Yucheng's directions, they arrived at a farm.

In the darkness of night, one could vaguely see that the manor was quite large, comparable to the Qin family's manor.

Some dogs started barking, probably because they noticed a stranger coming.

"My sister is in there?" Liu Yingyue pointed at Zhuangzi.

"Yes, it's inside." Gao Yucheng raised his chin.

Liu Yingyue narrowed her eyes and pointed the torch at Gao Yucheng, "If you dare to lie to me, you don't have to keep your arms. You'll have to eat with your feet tomorrow."

Gao Yucheng's expression changed slightly, but he still said, "It's inside. You'll know once you go in and take a look."

Liu Yingyue grabbed his arm and said, "Go ahead!"

Gao Yucheng looked at her and sighed, "Yingyue, Qin Yiran doesn't like you, why did you marry him?"

"Who said he doesn't like me? It's good for me to know whether he is good or not."

"Then why does he always go to the shop of the clothing owner? The female shopkeeper is called Qiu Shuixian, right? A 30-year-old widowed woman, wow, she is the best at seducing men. Even I feel moved when I see her." Gao Yucheng laughed.

"shut up!"

"Are you angry? You also know that Qin Yiran and Qiu Shuixian are having an affair, right?" Gao Yucheng tilted his head and looked at Liu Yingyue, his expression gloating. Liu Yingyue had a cold face and kicked Gao Yucheng again, "Don't mind my business, you should worry about whether I will break your arm! Go, go find my sister!"

For some reason, she felt uncomfortable when the word Colchicum was mentioned.

But her purpose was only to save her life and help Qin Yiran successfully seize the throne.

She doesn't care what happens to Qin Yiran and Qiu Shuixian.

So no matter how Gao Yucheng allocated the funds, she was too lazy to care.

"Be careful with your good intentions. You will regret it sooner or later!" Gao Yucheng shook his head.

Liu Yingyue said nothing and took Gao Yucheng to the gate of the manor.

Gao Yucheng called out to the window of the back house, and an old man inside answered, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Sanlang Gao. I need help from Uncle Qian."

"coming."

After a while, the old man guarding the gate opened the door of the village.

He held up the lantern and shone it on Gao Yucheng's face, then greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Gao, why are you here so late at night?"

Seeing Liu Yingyue following him, he was slightly stunned, but did not dare to ask more.

Gao Yucheng strode into Zhuangzi.

Liu Yingyue followed closely behind.

After the two of them walked away, the old gatekeeper muttered, "Why did Gao Sanlang suddenly come to the village? Who is the young lady who followed him?"

After entering the farm, we came to the main house with lights on.

Gao Yucheng shouted inside, "Aunt! I'm Sanlang!"

"Sanlang is here? Why are you here so late?" a woman's voice asked with a smile.

Then, two women came out from the main house.

A housewife and a maid.

Liu Yingyue looked at the middle-aged housewife. If she guessed correctly, this woman was Mr. Gao's daughter, Qian Gao.

Gao Yucheng's only aunt.

My husband's family was in the fur business and had quite a bit of wealth, but later on, they were dragged down by Gao Yucheng and fell into poverty.

"Sanlang, this is..." Qian Gao pointed at Liu Yingyue, "Isn't this the second daughter of the Liulizheng family in Yangliu Village? Oh, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. Why are you with her?"

"Aunt, Liu Yingyue bullied me and beat me, you should catch her quickly!" Gao Yucheng suddenly ran away, hid behind Qian Gao and shouted loudly.

Liu Yingyue narrowed her eyes. She had actually been fooled by Gao Yucheng!

"Liu Yingyue, you little girl actually hit someone?"

"Aunt Gao, I have come here specially to meet Aunt Gao and Uncle Gao. I heard that Uncle Gao is in the business of northern and southern fur goods. It just so happens that our Qin family wants to buy some cotton. I wonder if Uncle Gao has more sources? As for the price, we can negotiate." Liu Yingyue changed the subject.

The weather is getting colder, and Qin Yiran's Black Wind Village is in urgent need of a large number of cotton clothes.

Qin Yiran meets Qiu Shuixian frequently now, probably to collect clothes.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, she will arrange it first.

Qian Gao was slightly stunned. So they were here to discuss business?
"Liu Yingyue, are you really here to discuss business?" Qian Gao looked at Liu Yingyue.
