Only this green, not disappointing the spring

With the county magistrate's promise, the matter was half done.

Although he didn't know why, Zhou Xiaoxi clearly felt that the county magistrate showed a lot of goodwill towards him.

After Zhou Xiaoxi returned home, Zhao told her about the reward from the court, and she finally understood the general idea.

Zhou Xiaoxi guessed that the Taoist temple's deception of having children was definitely not as simple as it seemed. However, she was not curious about the truth of the matter at all.

Since the county magistrate only gave them the court's reward in secret, it meant that it could not be made public.

Zhao gave all the silver and the jade pendant to Zhou Xiaoxi, but Zhou Xiaoxi could not accept them.

"Grandma, these should actually be given to my uncle. But it's hard to explain to my aunt, so you can keep them. I didn't do anything, how can I take them!"

Zhao couldn't help but sigh. Her granddaughter was so kind that it made people feel distressed. If it weren't for her, who knows how many tragedies that incident would have caused. She obviously did the most!

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxi's firm attitude, she no longer forced him. She kept the silver for herself and prepared a larger dowry for the child in the future. As for the jade pendant, she still insisted on giving it to Zhou Xiaoxi.

Zhou Xiaoxi did not refuse any more. It was another item that looked good but was useless, so she just put it at the bottom of the box and never took it out again.

There are still five days until the fair starts its trial operation, and Zhou Xiaoxi and the entire village are busy.

At the same time, Baili Nanqing also rushed to Shancang County.

When Yang Zian received the news, he was very surprised. This Madam Shangguan was really capable. She actually sent someone to secretly deliver a letter to his study without alerting anyone!

There were only a few simple words on the letter: Let’s chat at Pinxiang Teahouse at 9:00 p.m., signed by Baili.

It was not difficult to guess who the visitor was, but he was very puzzled as to why things had to be done so secretly?

After entering the private room and seeing only one person, Yang Zian became even more confused.

"Madam Shangguan, why are you here alone? Where is Shangguan Lan?"

Baili Nanqing was wearing a thorny cloth skirt, with no makeup on, and her skin seemed to have been deliberately tanned. If you were not familiar with her, you would not be able to recognize her at all.

Baili Nanqing smiled and said:

"I didn't expect you to recognize me at first sight. It seems that my disguise skills need to be improved! Lan'er and Yunxin took my double to his grandparents' home. I came here secretly, so no one should notice. But to be on the safe side, Zi'an, you have to help me cover up for a few days. I can go see my daughter only after the hidden dangers are eliminated."

As she spoke, her voice began to tremble, revealing her anxiety.

Yang Zian couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Madam, who is the murderer? Don't you have any clues?"

Baili Nanqing couldn't help but frowned, stroking the cold teacup with his fingers and said:

"I have thought about it all the way, but still have no clue. It seems that there is only one possibility, that the person behind this is the same person who bribed Yue'er's wet nurse back then. But why that person has been holding on to my daughter is something that I can't figure out!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In a fit of rage, the teacup in his hand was crushed to pieces, and Baili Nanqing's hand was instantly covered in blood.

"Madam!" Yang Zi'an was horrified and turned around to call the servant to find a doctor, but was stopped by the latter.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'm sorry for being rude just now."

Baili Nanqing closed her eyes and took several deep breaths before she managed to suppress her anger. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and Yang Zian immediately took it, opened it, and helped apply the medicine.

Then she just casually wrapped her hands with a handkerchief and left it at that. Yang Zian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This Madam Shangguan is also a heroine!

"Madam Shangguan, you are about to reunite with your daughter after all the hardships, but you must stay calm. As long as we plan carefully, we will be able to find out the person behind this!"

Baili Nanqing clenched her uninjured left hand and looked at Yang Zian with a firm gaze:

"Good boy, you are right. The more critical the moment, the more I have to keep calm! Qingyue has suffered so much outside. I must eliminate these hidden dangers before taking her home!"

When she thought of her daughter, she felt relieved. Then she asked:

"Zi'an, tell me about Qingyue. What does she like? What does she like to eat? By the way, are she getting along well with Lan'er after they met? Does she... blame me..."

She would definitely feel resentful, because she was such a bad mother and actually lost her daughter!

At this moment, Baili Nanqing wanted to buy all the good things in Shancang County and give them to her daughter whom she had not yet met. It seemed that only in this way could she not be overwhelmed by endless guilt.

When mentioning that quirky girl, Yang Zian couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Don't worry, she's a very sensible girl and has never blamed you. As for what she likes and what she likes to eat, I'm ashamed to say that I know very little about her in the more than half a year we've known each other. I only vaguely feel that she is a girl who likes green, doesn't eat fatty meat, and always treats the animals she keeps at home as human beings..."

At this point, he chuckled.

"You know, she has developed feelings for the hens at home. She won't let us kill them no matter what. She even threatened to take care of them in their old age even if they can't lay eggs anymore. Haha..."

Baili Nanqing listened with great interest, and the more she listened, the more she was convinced that it must be her biological daughter. When her Qingyue was still in her infancy, she loved the cats in the yard very much.

However, looking at the boy in front of him who was tenderly reminiscing about his daughter, Baili Nanqing's heart began to ring alarm bells. Could it be that Zi'an was interested in Qingyue?

That won't work!

Her daughter, whom she had never met, must not be targeted by anyone! She would keep Qingyue until she was at least eighteen, no, nineteen, well, twenty should be no problem, before allowing her to get married!

I have to say that the Shangguan family is surprisingly tacit in caring for their own cabbages.

After finishing her business, Baili Nanqing returned to the inn. She actually wanted to buy a gift for her daughter herself, but for safety reasons, she finally asked Yang Zian for help.

……

Shangpin Pavilion.

Fu Qiuyang looked confused as he watched Yang Zian buy all the green clothes of all styles and materials in the store, all in the same size.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Zi'an, which girl are you pursuing? Why do you have such a special hobby? Besides, if you really want to pursue her, you shouldn't buy her ready-made clothes, right? Tsk tsk, I really don't understand you!"

Unexpectedly, what surprised him even more was yet to come.

After buying clothes, Yang Zian went to Zuiyuxuan again. Curious Fu Qiuyang was like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be shaken off.

Then I saw this person picked out several pieces of jade jewelry in one go. There were so many styles in the store, why did he only pick jade? Was it just because of the color?

Fu Qiuyang's curiosity reached its peak! Why is that girl so special that she prefers green things?

"By the way, why don't you take the green bunny bag from my shop? I feel embarrassed to criticize Xiaoxi, she seems very satisfied with the work, but the girl in this city doesn't buy it!"
