Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 24: Pheasant Hunting

When Bao'er heard it, he danced happily.

Qin Yuyao bolted the door of the house, carried the small pannier on her back, and took Bao'er's little hand and walked outside.As soon as he left the yard, he suddenly saw a hurried figure appearing on the path leading to the door: "Where are you going? Stop!"

Qin Yuyao pretended not to hear about it, and led Bao'er to Tianzhu Mountain behind the house.I only heard cursing from behind: "Little hoof, can't I hear you when my mother calls you? Are you deaf? Little hoof, I tell you to pretend you can't hear!"

Sun sprinted for a while, and soon came behind Qin Yuyao, and slammed her on the head: "The wings are hard? Don't you dare not listen to my old lady?"

After returning from the village chief's house yesterday, Mrs. Sun regretted it a little. How could she sever ties with Qin Yuyao?This is the money tree God gave her, why did she cut it down in a moment of confusion?After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't understand why I was impulsive.In case Qin Yuyao really didn't take her seriously in the future, her expression became more fierce than usual: "Your brother is lying at home injured, you and I will take care of him!"

Qin Yuyao turned her head to avoid Sun's palm, grabbed her wrist, and said coldly: "What brother? I don't have any brother!"

Annoyance flashed across Mrs. Sun's face, and she raised a hand and grabbed Qin Yuyao's face: "Little Hoof, you are really capable? How dare you talk to my old lady like that?"

"Keep your mouth clean!" Qin Yuyao said coldly, with a trace of sarcasm in her eyes: "I think you forget things a lot, and you can't remember what happened yesterday. In this case, I might as well remind you again— — Yesterday we signed a document at the village chief’s house, and the two sides severed ties and never communicated with each other. Why, are you going to deny it?”

Qin Yuyao had thought that the Sun family would be relentless, but that probably happened after she became prosperous.Unexpectedly, only one day later, Mrs. Sun found her brazenly.Holding Sun's wrist, he pushed it aside hard: "Don't provoke me, or I will be rude to you!"

Sun staggered from being pushed, and watched Qin Yuyao lead Bao'er away in a daze, until she walked a long distance before she slapped her thigh!How did you get fooled by this little hoof again?It was the same yesterday, I was led by the nose for no reason, and signed the severance letter in a daze!
Could it be that Little Hoof was possessed by a ghost?Looking at Qin Yuyao's tall and straight back, a thought flashed through Sun's mind, and she shook her head to shake it away.She must have been too tired to take care of Gui'er last night, so she was scared by this little hoof.

Hmph, the little hooves are about to get some food.Mrs. Sun curled her lips, Little Hoof has no other skills, but is a good hand at work.So let her get it, if there is something good later, I just use it to mend Gui'er.Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, he turned and walked briskly.

"Mother, grandma was so scary just now." After walking a long distance, Bao'er dared to turn around, looked at the path where no one was seen, and said to Qin Yuyao.

"Bao'er is not afraid." Qin Yuyao said, "From now on, she is not your grandma, so Bao'er need not be afraid of her."

Bao'er didn't understand: "It's not grandma? What is that?"

"Nothing." Qin Yuyao replied.

Bao'er still half understood, but seeing her mother's indifferent expression, she obediently didn't ask any more questions.The two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and finally came to the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.

The lush Tianzhu Mountain is tall and continuous.The trees at the foot of the mountain are sparse, and the sun can still be seen.After walking into the depths, the branches and leaves gradually became thicker, the hot sun was blocked outside, and only a few rays of sunlight came through the gaps in the branches.Qin Yuyao held Bao'er in one hand, and a small shovel in the other, and her sharp eyes kept scanning the surroundings and the ground.

The two walked for about two quarters of an hour, and there was nothing edible. There were human footprints and signs of wanton picking and destruction everywhere.Qin Yuyao frowned, knowing in her heart that there must be nothing at the foot of the mountain, and if she wanted to get good things, she had to go to a higher place.She herself has no problem, can Bao'er bear it?

The main courtyard of the Gu Mansion, in the hall of the main room.

"What?!" Jiang Mingzhu slammed the golden peony teacup with a white background on the sandalwood table, her pretty face turned hideous with anger: "Failed?!"

"Yes, ma'am." A servant kneeling in the hall replied in fear as he fell on the ground.

"Isn't the rule of Xianyun Building that if you take money from your employer, you have to do it no matter what?" Jiang Mingzhu asked suspiciously.

"They said that a nobleman saved the life of Mrs. Qin and refused to accept the task." The boy said, and took out a brocade bag from his bosom: "This is the compensation they returned."

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes widened suddenly: "Your nobleman?!" Thinking that the Qin family is just a peasant woman, what kind of nobleman do you know?Could it be... the handsome face that belonged to Gu Qingchen flashed into my mind, and I suddenly understood, grabbed the valuable painted cup on the table, and threw it hard to the ground: "Gu Qingchen! Hello!"

She spent 50 taels of silver to take the lives of the Qin family and the lowly species, but Xianyunlou returned the money and no longer accepted the task!How much money did Gu Qingchen give them to make them like this?Could it be that the lives of that bitch and the bitch are so important to him?Jiang Mingzhu's heart was churning, and she gritted her teeth: "Bitch! You bastard! Do you think this lady has nothing to do?"

The reason why people from Xianyunlou were hired was that they didn't want to be caught.But what is her identity?The youngest daughter whom the prime minister loves the most, the wife of the crown prince's confidant, who would dare to gossip after killing a little peasant woman?Just as he was about to send someone to go again, Yan'er, the servant girl beside him suddenly said, "Madam, don't worry."

"Huh?" Jiang Mingzhu looked up.

I only heard Yan'er said: "Although the Qin family is a peasant woman and extremely lowly, if someone catches them, it will not be good for your reputation. If it is not like this, ask your adults to take them into the mansion. Time is right under Madam's nose, so it's not up to Madam to say what she wants?"

Jiang Mingzhu rolled her eyes, clapped her palms and said with a smile, "That's right." The Empress's birthday is approaching, and as the right-hand man of His Royal Highness, Gu Qingchen has been very busy recently, and Jiang Mingzhu hasn't been close to him for a long time.Taking this opportunity, just to see how busy he is?
Outside Yongjing City, at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain, Qin Yuyao walked up the mountain with a small basket on her back, leading Bao'er.The good things at the bottom of the mountain were almost all picked, Qin Yuyao thought about it, and decided to take Bao'er up the mountain.

Walking halfway up the mountain, there were fewer people and more and more traces of natural plants. Qin Yuyao was lucky enough to see a pheasant!

"Bao'er is waiting for me here!" Qin Yuyao withdrew from the small back basket, stooped and walked quietly to where the pheasant was.The pheasant didn't know the danger was coming, and it was still pawing leisurely in the grass, occasionally lowering its head to peck.
