Is Jiang Huaiqing still in the mood to spend the night at Aunt Ru's place?

Song was filled with hatred and anger, and she felt a sweet and fishy taste in her throat. Jiang Hao, who was standing next to her, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

As the saying goes, a rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry, and a dog will jump over the wall when it's in a hurry. Since Jiang Huaiqing has promised to send Li Xiuer away when she wakes up, if she continues to force him, it may backfire. It's better to... go to the kitchen to eat something first, I'm a little hungry.

The cook had prepared the meal long ago, but the food had not been served from the front yard, so she could only keep it warm in the pot. Since she had nothing to do, she started chatting with the woman who did the rough work.

The old woman was chopping wood in the woodroom, and the cook was standing with her back to the gate, so the two were chatting enthusiastically and naturally didn't notice Jiang Hao coming.

Jiang Hao said nothing and went straight into the kitchen.

Jiang Huaiqing was a well-known "honest official" and the daily meals in his mansion were very simple. In the morning, there was porridge, steamed buns, dumplings and pickles; for lunch, there was one meat dish, two vegetables and one soup; for dinner, there was one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup. In winter, when vegetables were hard to find, the food was even simpler.

Tonight's meal is minced cowpea with meat, stir-fried green vegetables, and pumpkin soup.

Jiang Hao filled a bowl of rice and picked up some dishes, then ate while listening to gossip in the woodshed next door.

"...I heard about it too. Those guys were beaten really badly last night...One guy had all ten fingers broken off...One guy had his toenails pulled out, and there was blood all over...They used almost every kind of torture..."

"These people deserve it. Why steal the treasury silver when there are so many other places to steal..."

"Isn't that right? If there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, our Qingchuan County is still waiting for Kuyin to save us..."

"We have gold and silver mines in Qingchuan County, so what do we have to be afraid of? By the way... have you heard that the young lady who was burned to death is back to life..."

"Don't talk nonsense, the lady is fine!"

This was said by the cook.

"The young lady is fine, but someone else is not." The firewood-chopping woman lowered her voice again: "I heard that Miss Li is in a very bad condition. Mother Bian went to ask for a doctor in person..."

"It's strange, why is Madam so nice to Li Xiu'er?"

"Who knows? If you don't know, you would think she is our lady's biological daughter!"

……

After Jiang Hao finished his meal, the gossip from next door also stopped.

The cook happily returned to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jiang Hao putting down her bowl and chopsticks: "Miss...Miss..."

I’m dying, I’m dying. Miss, I’m sure you heard everything, right?

When the cook saw that Jiang Hao ignored her, she became even more anxious, fearing that Jiang Hao would tell Song and slap them in the face.

Just when I was about to say something else, I saw Jiang Hao leaving.

Gold mine? Silver mine?

Jiang Hao seemed to understand where the gold and silver in Jiang Huaiqing's warehouse came from.

Since Qingchuan County is full of gold and silver mines, why would Jiang Huaiqing waste his money on the people and gain the reputation of a corrupt official?

That's it!

Although Qingchuan County is located in a remote area and surrounded by mountains, it is a rare and popular place in the eyes of those who are interested because of its rich mineral resources. Ordinary people cannot come here, let alone eat this piece of fat meat.

Jiang Huaiqing has not moved from this position for six years. There is no one at the Ministry of Personnel to help him. If he tells others about it, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Jiang Huaiqing, the Jiang family of Kyoto...

Jiang Hao returned to his new residence with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but Hong Xiu had already gone back.

She closed the door, took the jade pendant she had taken out from the Song family's dark room that night, and rubbed it repeatedly in the cold moonlight...

Who is she?
