The general kneels on the washboard again

After Qin Shaobai heard that Yue Niang was willing to help him save his father, he began to talk incessantly.

"My father and I came here together, and I think we'll all end up in the human market soon."

Perhaps thinking that he was getting happier, he continued, "This way, we can return to Lingzhou soon, settle accounts with those bastards, and take back my family's property."

Yue Niang had no choice but to step in and shatter his beautiful dream: "Master Qin, you and your father are both government slaves. According to Dacheng's laws, I can buy you, but I don't have the power to sell you. If I want to sell you now, I have to go through the government."

Qin Shaobai's mood sank again. "It's me who forgot my current status. I'm not used to being a servant yet. Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

Seeing that he was in a trance, Yue Niang couldn't bear to pour cold water on him anymore, so she just said, "If you want to regain your freedom, there is a way."

Qin Shaobai's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Yue Niang said each word seriously, "Clear your name and return with dignity."

Qin Shaobai lowered his head again: "How could I not know, but now I am in a dilemma. You bought us, but are you willing to take us back to Lingzhou?"

Yue Niang didn't comment, but just said, "I'll go and save your father."

He called out into the darkness, "Yujian, go do it."

A sound of "yes" floated through the air, startling Qin Shaobai: "You actually have secret guards? Who are you?"

He originally thought that she was just a young lady from a wealthy family, but after watching her actions these days, Qin Shaobai felt that the girl in front of him was not as simple as she seemed.

Yue Niang answered his question sincerely: "My name is Fu Yue Niang. I wonder if you have heard of me when you were in Lingzhou?"

Qin Shaobai covered his mouth and said, "Ah, you are Fu Yueniang? That shameless girl?"

Yue Niang had expected Qin Shaobai to praise her, but she was completely surprised by his description: "Shameless? Where did you get that?"

Qin Shaobai was no longer afraid. He re-examined Yue Niang and said, "There are rumors in Lingzhou that you were raped by bandits. There are also rumors that you are clearly engaged to the Third Prince, but you are also having an affair with the four most dissolute men in Lingzhou. There are even rumors that you are a girl from the Xiangxian Pavilion."

"Huh?" Yue Niang really didn't know where these rumors started.

"But I don't think you are that kind of person. They obviously don't understand you." Qin Shaobai acted as if he knew Yue Niang best.

Yue Niang sighed softly, "Their spit is really enough to drown me. I believe I have done good deeds and have never done anything bad."

Qin Shaobai was amused. "Who would praise themselves like that? You really have no shame."

Thinking about serious matters, Yue Niang temporarily put those random talks aside and then thought about the important matter: "By the way, is the development of medicinal materials you mentioned reliable? Have you studied medicine?"

Qin Shaobai said: "I have studied medicine, but I learned it secretly. My father has always hoped that I would inherit his legacy and manage the bank."

Yue Niang nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. I trust you."

Qin Shaobai looked incredulous: "Do you believe me?"

Yue Niang nodded: "Of course I believe it."

Qin Shaobai was very moved: "My father always said that medical skills are the most useless thing in the world, and now you actually believe me."

When he said this, Yue Niang didn't quite believe it: "Master Qin, who is your medical teacher? Is he reliable?"

Qin Shaobai's newly built confidence was destroyed again: "I learned by myself from medical books, but I also secretly studied with the doctor in the mansion for a while."

Seeing that he looked like he wanted to be confirmed, Yue Niang held her forehead and said, "Lian Xing, you're fast. Take those weeds back and show them to Doctor Mo."

Qin Shaobai drew circles in the corner in frustration.

The hot summer wind reached the branches, and the weather became more and more sultry. The temperature difference between day and night in Rongzhou was too large, and two quilts had to be covered at night. If Yue Niang didn't have something else to do, she would have wanted to leave right away.

Qin Fengyang was rescued three days later. The middle-aged man seemed to have aged overnight.

Yu Jian doesn't like to talk. After saving someone, he didn't tell everyone where he was going. He has accepted his future along the way. The worst that could happen is that he would die by hitting his head against a wall.

The moment he saw Qin Shaobai, he was so glad that he was not hit to death.

Father and son reunited: "Shaobai, my son." Qin Fengyang was so excited that he burst into tears.

Qin Shaobai also cried: "Father."

Qin Fengyang knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for saving my life, my father and I will do our utmost for you, even if it means risking our lives."

Yue Niang quickly helped him up, wanting to bow to him on the ground: "Boss Qin, I can't bear this."

After finally pulling the man up, Qin Fengyang's stomach could be heard rumbling a few times in the quiet room.

At this time, Qin Fengyang smiled awkwardly: "I have no food in my stomach, I am very hungry."

Yue Niang hurried downstairs to arrange the banquet: "Send it to the private room on the second floor."

There were not many customers in the restaurant at the moment, so the dishes were served in no time.

Qin Shaobai also told Qin Fengyang what had happened in the past few days. Qin Fengyang had seen countless people, and as soon as he saw this little girl, he felt that her future was immeasurable.

After Qin Shaobai finished speaking, Qin Fengyang picked up the wine glass beside him and said, "Miss Fu, toast to you."

Yue Niang looked at the wine in front of her and quickly declined it. She was still young and couldn't drink alcohol. She poured another cup of tea and said, "Boss Qin, I can't drink alcohol. I'll offer you tea instead."

Qin Fengyang was, after all, an old man with a wealth of experience. He suppressed his hunger and did not pick up his chopsticks. He asked Yue Niang, "Miss Fu, you bought both of us, father and son, but you don't want us to be your servants. What exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Qin Shaobai's face was also filled with fear, Yue Niang told him the reason why she saved Qin Shaobai.

"I saved your son because when I was in Lingzhou, I once encountered a difficult situation. A girl who looked a bit like your son helped me out. That's why I saved your son that day by accident.

Later, when I heard your son talk about your affairs, I admired Boss Qin's character of not using his family background to curry favor with the powerful. "

One of Qin Fengyang's doubts was dispelled, but another doubt remained: "Then what exactly do you want us father and son to do? If it's something criminal, then we would rather die here now."

Yue Niang was shocked. "How could that be? Boss Qin, you're overthinking it. As for what you and your son are doing, why don't you just manage the medicinal materials business in Rongzhou for me?"

Qin Fengyang's face darkened. "I still need to return to the capital to seek revenge. I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

Yue Niang analyzed the pros and cons of the situation: "Boss Qin, you are now a scapegoat. I believe you also know that you are now sold by the government. With this label, I am afraid you can't even leave Rongzhou."

"Uh." Qin Fengyang hesitated.

Yue Niang poured him another glass of wine. "Boss Qin, I have no other aspirations, but I simply don't have anyone else to turn to right now. If you and your son agree to manage my business here, I promise I will take you back to Lingzhou for revenge."

Seeing Qin Fengyang's suspicious look, Yue Niang quickly said, "Boss Qin, as to why it's not possible now, I'm sure you know my reputation in Lingzhou, right?"

Yue Niang recounted how she was deceived and threatened by Fu Shiqing and how she lost half of her wealth.

Qin Fengyang was an upright man, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he heard this: "I haven't had any conversations with your father, but in the early years, the Fu family was never among the richest people in Lingzhou, so their reputation was not good. I only heard that he deliberately sent one of his daughters to do charity work, but I never thought it was all a false facade."

Yue Niang pressed on, "That's what happened. I will definitely take you back to Lingzhou in two years and clear your name."

Qin Fengyang responded: "Okay, thank you very much, young lady." He drank another glass of wine.
