Madam Qi and Xu Qinghuan got out of the car and immediately saw several servants standing at the door.
"What's the matter?" Madam Seven asked.
The steward of the Jiang family whispered: "It's from the Wang family. He said he was sent by the second master."
The seventh lady frowned: "Are you here to give gifts again?"
"No," said the manager of the Jiang family, "I'm here to report the news."
The seventh lady and Xu Qinghuan entered the house and called the Wang family servants for questioning.
The steward of the Wang family said respectfully: "My second master has been tricked."
The seventh lady was shocked when she heard this, and Xu Qinghuan also raised her head.
The seventh lady said: "How is it? Where did you plan the plot? Are you injured?"
"No," said the manager of the Wang family, "My second grandfather has been out in the business community all year round, and he has seen through those people's plans, so he has not been fooled. However, those people are also very fast. I don't know where they come from. Our family
Several nursing homes went out to chase him, but they still couldn't catch him.
The second master said that the person who came here is extraordinary, ordinary people don’t have such skills, so he asked us to send a message so that everyone in the Jiang family can be on guard."
Madam Seven looked at Xu Qinghuan.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Did those people kill your second master?"
The steward of the Wang family thought for a moment: "That's not true. They seemed to want my second master to make a fool of himself in public. When my second master was talking to a merchant, the man hit my second master's leg with a stone."
Xu Qinghuan thought about it for a moment and seemed to have an idea in his mind.
There was also a slight smile in Madam Seven's clear eyes, but it quickly passed away and she ordered the steward of the Wang family: "We understand."
The steward of the Wang family then withdrew.
"Is it him?" When the person was gone, the seventh lady couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Let Madam laugh."
The seventh lady smiled and said: "In my opinion, if I were you with a sister like this, I would protect you in this way and not allow those foreign men to get close. If you hadn't let the prince hide in the dark, he would have rushed up long ago.
Shaking fists and throwing stones at Wang Yuchen are also helpless actions."
…
Xu Qing'an squatted in the corner, thinking about Wang Yuchen coming to his door again and again, he was about to burst into anger. That boy looked like he was not a good person.
On the first day when those items were delivered, he knew that his sister didn't like them, so he endured them.
The second time Wang Yuchen came unexpectedly again.
He pulled his pants hard to stop himself.
When he saw Wang Yuchen running around outside this time, he knew that he had bad intentions and wanted to use this opportunity to get close to his sister, so he unknowingly picked up a stone.
The boy was actually very smart and got out of the way immediately. The people around him also reacted and immediately rushed towards him. Thanks to his father chasing him all over the yard before, he had developed a pair of good legs, otherwise he would really have to leave.
He died before he could survive.
"Your Majesty," Meng Lingyun walked over quickly, "The eldest lady asked you to act as planned."
Xu Qingan's eyes were about to sparkle: "Has it started yet?"
Meng Lingyun said: "The eldest lady asked me to tell you to be careful and not to act rashly."
"I understand," Xu Qing'an said with a smile on his face, "Let my sister rest assured..."
Speaking of this, Xu Qingan looked sad.
As if he knew what Xu Qingan was thinking, Meng Lingyun said: "The eldest lady said that she will be safe."
Xu Qingan nodded: "Then I'll be relieved."
After Xu Qingan left, Meng Lingyun returned to the Jiang family. Xu Qinghuan was waiting for news: "How is it?"
Meng Lingyun said: "The prince is gone."
I hope it goes well, maybe after this time, my brother can also make some progress.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the sky above her head. Changzhou was as unfathomable as she thought. Fortunately, she had already thought of a way to deal with it. Even if it was a risk, it was worth it. Nothing in this world comes in vain.
Xu Qinghuan turned around and walked into the room, where the seventh lady was looking at the accounts.
"Madam," Xu Qinghuan said, "I know that when you merchants go out, you will inevitably prepare some firearms on the ship. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty strictly prohibits this, you have to make such arrangements if you have to fight for your life against pirates."
The seventh lady looked at Xu Qinghuan: "Yes... every time we go to sea, we will buy some from the Franji merchant, but the amount is very small, and it is not very powerful. It can only scare the pirates. When the ship returns to Dazhou,
Firearms will be consumed in the sea even if they are not used up."
Xu Qinghuan knew that the seventh lady's words were true.
The seventh lady continued: "After the firearms incident in Beijing, those families who had some firearms in their hands were quietly destroyed." She paused for a moment, "Why do you ask these questions?"
Xu Qinghuan sat on the chair with clear and firm eyes: "I want to know if Madam can find some firearms."
The seventh lady was stunned for a moment: "What do you want a firearm for?"
Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly: "As my wife said, holding a sharp weapon will give you more reliance."
The seventh lady's expression became more and more serious: "I'm thinking of ways, but... you, a girl, want to do such a dangerous thing."
"Do you believe it, madam?" Xu Qinghuan said, "Even if I don't take the risk, they will find me. There is nothing wrong with being more proactive."
Since she had already decided to be enemies with those people, how could she back down at the critical moment? Her father was fighting on the battlefield and her brother was busy with it, so she would not give up just yet.
…
After most of the Xie family moved away, an ancestral house was left for the elders of the Xie family to live in. The ancestral house was not big, but there were not many Xie family members left behind, so it was just enough to free up a yard for Mr. Xie.
Thanks to the old lady.
The courtyard is in the corner of the entire ancestral house. Although it is not big, it is clean and tidy. After living in it for a few days, Mrs. Xie asked Cui's mother to take a look inside and out. Maybe God wanted to take care of her.
The west gate leading outside the ancestral house is not far from this yard.
When it got dark, Mrs. Xie washed herself up early and rested. When it was quiet outside, Cui's mother stepped forward and whispered: "Old lady, it's time, we can go."
Old lady Xie was happy and nervous at the same time: "Is there any problem? Go check it again and don't get discovered."
Cui's mother responded and immediately stepped out, but quickly turned back: "I looked, there is no one outside."
Old lady Xie snorted coldly: "They deliberately neglected us and left us here, ignoring us on weekdays... Don't you know that this is exactly what I want."
Cui's mother said: "Without further delay, let's go!" She stepped forward to help the old lady and thanked her.
Old Mrs. Xie stood up, feeling a sharp pain in her legs. She almost fell onto the bed with an "ouch".
"Old lady," Cui's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "how are you?
The injury on your leg hasn't healed yet, what should you do?"
Old lady Xie gritted her teeth and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as you walk out of the west gate, there will be someone to help you. Even if I have to climb these few steps, I will climb out." She stood up again.
The master and servant slowly walked out.
After walking out of the west gate, there is a long alley, and the carriage that comes to meet you is parked outside the alley.
Mrs. Xie's heart was beating faster and faster. Once she got on the carriage, no one could stop her.
"Old lady, where is the car?"
Mother Cui shouted, and Mrs. Xie raised her head, and sure enough she saw a car not far away.
