Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 148 Queen's Dream

"It's getting late. Hurry up and take out the banknotes. I have to go back home for dinner."

Wen Qingwan said coldly, the sharp sword in her hand flashing a dangerous light.

"Okay, okay, I only have 10,100 taels on me, so let's count it as 10,000 taels. The remaining 40,000 taels I owe will be delivered to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."

Shen Lao Mo said this while trembling, fear still lingering in his eyes, and he patted his chest with his chubby white hands to assure himself.

The entrance of the alley seemed unusually quiet, with only the breeze blowing gently, and the leaves making a slight rustling sound in the silence.

"Well, don't come to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow. Let's meet Jinque at Zuixiang Tower." After Wen Qingwan finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the carriage.

"Okay, okay, tomorrow at 3 p.m., we will be waiting for Miss Jinque at Zuixianglou."

Shen Lao Mo didn't dare to hesitate and took out all the banknotes he had with him. "Here you go. All of them."

Seeing the stack of banknotes, Jinque no longer mind the smell of sweat, "You are sensible. Here, you can clean up by yourselves."

She caught up with Wen Qingwan with the banknote in her hand, and carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to Wen Qingwan on the horse.

She turned around and helped the coachman clean the road, while Jinlan sat in the front and drove the carriage.

The coachman who drove the carriage in the Marquis's mansion was also a wounded soldier who had retreated from the battlefield, and he walked with a slight limp.

He had seen their lady's lethality before. That time she did it to the guards of Yin Mansion, and this time there were even secret guards as well. Alas, each time was more dangerous than the last.

Soon, Wen Qingwan's carriage retreated into the main street. It had been forced into this alley before.

When Wen Qingwan and her friends' carriage arrived at the gate, Xiao's father's carriage also arrived at the gate.

After getting off the carriage, Father Xiao shouted excitedly: "Wan'er, you're back so late too?"

"Dad, you've worked so hard. Why are you back so late?" Wen Qingwan greeted him with a smile.

Seeing that Father Xiao was very happy, she also laughed. She was not injured in the assassination attempt and even got 50,000 taels of silver. This was a really cool deal with no cost.

Wen Qingwan also didn't plan to tell the Xiao family that this money was earned by her own ability and she wanted to send it to Xiao Jin.

"It's not hard, not at all. The villagers are so welcoming. Seeing my father is like seeing the God of Wealth."

Father Xiao was so happy. The villagers were more enthusiastic than he had expected. At that moment, he felt like he was being admired.

"Father, please go into the dining room first. I have to go back to the yard to wash up before eating."

"Go ahead. It's not time for dinner yet. I'll go talk to the kids first." Father Xiao waved his hand and walked towards the dining room.

Wen Qingwan's clothes were not wrinkled but smelled of blood. Father Xiao was too excited to notice it.

The clothes of Jinque and Jinlan were torn, so the master and his servants hurried back to the yard to wash and then went out to eat.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and no one knew that Wen Qingwan and the others had been assassinated.

*****
In the backyard of Duke Dingguo Su's mansion, Su Xiaomin was lying on the Qiangongbabu bed recuperating from her injuries.

This bed took a craftsman a thousand days to make. It is made of the finest nanmu, mahogany and yellow pear wood. The outer part is carved with hundreds of bird, animal and human figures in relief.

I wonder how much it would sell for if it were sold in Hyundai!
The luxurious life in the Su Mansion made Su Xiaomin want to just lie down and live like a lazy fish for the rest of her life.

Being a daughter of an official family in ancient times was really lucky, as there were people serving her all day long, which allowed her to be kept so delicate and graceful.

But she learned from the maids that no matter how capable a young lady is, she will be bullied by her mother-in-law, and only those who have been married know the hardships of life.

Su Xiaomin thought that if she got married, she would not be bothered, but she also knew that she could not decide her marriage. Because her stepfather obviously wanted her to enter the palace to compete for favor!

Although her grandfather was determined, she knew the outcome was risky and she might even lose her life.

She is not the heroine in those novels and is destined not to be a queen. Why?

Because she doesn’t have a golden finger!
Besides, she doesn't know how to make soap, open a school, or have any strategies for governing a country.

She also didn't want to recite ancient poetry to make a name for herself, because the original owner was spoiled, and as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone would know that it was not written by her.

If she is burned to death as a monster, it would be better not to change anything. It's not that she doesn't have great ambitions, but that she only knows how to farm.

Just ask, which emperor would be willing to make a person who only knows how to farm as his queen?
She was very suspicious that her step-grandfather allowed her to enter the palace because he thought she lived too long!

But her cheap grandfather's love for her was so genuine, it was so hard to bear!
In her previous life, she was born in an era when people always carried their mobile phones with them. She used mobile phones as a medium to transmit her thoughts and communicate with others across the screen.

But in reality, when communicating face to face, everyone is reserved, for fear that if they say something wrong, it will cause misunderstanding, and people will remember it in their hearts.

I can’t tell you how many people are unable to even prick up their ears to listen to what others are saying.

This is the most basic upbringing and courtesy in dealing with people, but it requires someone to remind you all the time not to touch the phone when the supervisor is speaking.

When she traveled through time to this era, filial piety was the most terrifying thing. Her cheap grandparents wanted to crush her to death, but it was as easy as crushing an ant.

Her attempt to rebel against her cheap grandfather was like an ant trying to shake a tree, but she could use her grandfather's power to rebel against her vicious grandmother.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomin felt much better. At least she still had three more years of good life to live.

Now the maids around her are all selected by her grandfather himself. As long as she does not rebel against her step-grandfather, she can live a good life.

So she asked sickly, "Xia'er, did anything interesting happen outside today?"

"Miss, it's true. Today, Miss Xie made Miss Fan faint again..."

Xia'er talked on and on for a whole incense stick of time, which made her feel like she was watching a big show.

Su Xiaomin really didn't know that the maid her cheap grandfather found was so lively and talkative, but she was really happy to hear it.

When Duke Su came in, he saw his only granddaughter half lying on the bed and smiling happily.

The cold moonlight covered her delicate and beautiful face, like a snow lotus on the top of an iceberg.

She is so beautiful even before she reaches the age of 15. In a few years, she will be as beautiful as a fairy!
The next queen must be a daughter of their Su family.

"Min'er, the East Palace will hold a flower viewing banquet in three days. Can you get up?"

"Grandfather, I'm fine now, but you won't let me go out." Su Xiaomin said stiffly.

With a soul of twenty-five, she really couldn't pretend to be innocent.

"Haha...Min'er is unhappy. Grandfather saw you smiling when he just came in."

Duke Su only thought that his granddaughter was unhappy because she had been lying in bed for too long, and that was why she had a sullen face. He would just wish that she could attend the flower-viewing banquet.

So he cheerfully exhorted, “Min’er, several princes and princesses will go to enjoy the flowers this time.

If you have a prince you like, come back and tell grandfather to make the decision for you. You are too young to be the prince's principal wife, and the only princes who can be concubines are the third and fifth princes."

"My granddaughter will follow my grandfather's teachings." Su Xiaomin said in a low voice.
