This was the first time in a month that Uncle Yin had appeared openly in front of everyone.

There are people in charge of the warehouse area, soldiers, and family members brought by Sang Kun. During this period, they have heard various speculations.

Some even said that Uncle Yin was dead. Of course, there were more rumors that Uncle Yin was practicing and had become a human disciple of Naga Buddha.

Now Uncle Yin was standing on the stairs, his face dignified without anger, still the Uncle Yin that everyone was familiar with.

He just had a larger string of Buddhist beads in his hand, which he was slowly twisting, and his whole body exuded a more pious demeanor towards Buddha.

With this appearance, these bad rumors were dispelled.

Sang Kun smiled awkwardly: "Father, I just met Miss Shui and wanted to experience her true abilities. As expected, Miss Shui is very powerful."

"Ever since Miss Shui appraised our mine and picked out the good stones, our profits have tripled. You've seen the account books. Miss Shui is a hero. You shouldn't doubt her like this."

When Sang Kun heard that this was the credit of Miss Shui, he was afraid that she might have some complaints, so he quickly bowed to her.

"Miss Shui, please don't be so formal. I believe that you also went through a rigorous test with my father at the beginning. I just want to see it for myself."

Qiao Jianer nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Master Sangkun."

Uncle Yin said, "Miss Shui has three mines of her own. She only has time to come here at night. She has been a great help to our family. Sangkun, please don't be rude in the future."

Sang Kun was surprised again. He still had three mines. There must be a powerful family behind this water girl, whether it was wealth or power, otherwise she would not be able to gain a foothold here.

But he soon thought again, after all, she was just a teenage girl, and she was weak and alone in Kachin. She might be willing to do an appraisal for her father just to ask for his protection.

It must be so.

Qiao Jianer determined that he had completed today's task at 11:00 PM and went back.

But Suo followed him and breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that Sangkun had no doubts.

Yes, his father is alive and well, just like before, and Sang Kun respects his father the most, so he will definitely not speculate too much about his words.

And to be honest, Uncle Yin’s acting is very good, there are no flaws, and he does everything completely according to Miss Shui’s wishes.

Sang Kun passed this test, and Uncle Yin showed up again, allowing so many people to see him. In the future, he can use the name of divine cultivation and not appear for quite a long time, and it will be okay.

Miss Shui can now make money with peace of mind.

Sangkun stayed here for three days and found nothing unusual, so he took his people back.

Qiao Jian'er was always a little uneasy before, but now that he has taken care of Uncle Yin's most trusted son, he has stabilized his family.

She can make money freely.

Twenty days later, Captain Tang's caravan arrived in the capital with Xida.

Qiao Jian'er had already made arrangements and bought Xida a medium-sized courtyard house two streets away from the Qiao Mansion. She also hired guards, a female teacher, a group of old women and servants, and a maid two years older than her to serve her personally.

Xida stood in the yard, facing the huge Chinese-style courtyard. Although there were many servants and they treated her with respect, she was not used to it and felt a little uneasy.

When she arrived in the capital, she was greatly amazed. Such a prosperous scene was like the clouds in the sky, which she could not even dream of. Before she could come to her senses, she was taken to this elegant courtyard and told that it was her home.

How could she dare to dream of such a home?

"Miss, the hot water is ready. Let me help you take a bath and change your clothes." The nanny came over and said.

"Young lady, you will look very beautiful in our Middle-earth clothes." The maidservant was lively and said expectantly, "You will become more and more fair here."

"I--" Xida lowered his eyelids, feeling very uncomfortable.

Mammy smiled and said, "Miss, you're new here, so you're not used to it. So, go wash yourself. We won't watch you. If you need anything, just call us."

Xida came all the way here, exhausted, with a lot of dust and dirt on his hair and body. He needed a good bath.

After she finished washing, the maids changed her into new clothes and combed her hair into a Middle-earth style.

Except for his darker skin and slightly brown-blue eyes, Xida now looks like a person from Daze.

A woman in white with a veil entered the yard and sent everyone away.

Seeing the familiar figure, Xida, who had been fidgeting, rushed over, hugged the person, and leaned his head against him.

"Sister Shui, I'm finally here. How come you're here? I thought I wouldn't be able to see you for half a year or a year."

Qiao Jianer touched her cute bud and said, "I came to see you. After all, you just arrived here alone. They are all your servants and will not hurt you. If you need them to do anything, just tell them. Don't be polite."

"But." Xida looked around and said, "A courtyard like this in the capital must cost a lot of money to buy. Sister Shui, just arrange a simple place for me to live. Don't hire servants. I'm used to doing farm work since I was a child, so I can do it myself."

Qiao Jianer closed the door, took her hand and sat down, spreading out his palm: "Look at what this is."

It was a crystal clear ruby, shining brightly, and about the size of half an egg.

She had already removed the rough material on the outside, leaving the entire gem in perfect condition.

"It's a ruby, the one I picked up? But wasn't the ruby ​​dug away by Uncle Yin's people?" Xida couldn't believe it at all and stretched out his finger to touch it.

"Yes. The one they took away was replaced by a worthless gem. This one is worth three million taels and is your and your sister's property. But you are too young to keep it on your body, so I will keep it for you for the time being."

"The money from this house, as well as the servants' commissions, will all be deducted from the ruby. These three million taels will last you a lifetime. Just use them to enjoy life, learn knowledge, and improve yourself."

Hearing such a big surprise, Xida was stunned. He looked at the ruby ​​again and then he was convinced.

She nodded solemnly.

"Sister Shui, I will listen to you."

When Qiao Jianer arrived at the fiefdom, he saw his uncles and brothers with sullen faces, discussing matters in the central military camp. Pei Shijiu was also there, his fingers tapping slowly on the table, his brows furrowed.

Outside the camp, generals of various ranks gathered. Everyone looked unhappy, and some of them walked back and forth anxiously.

"What happened?"

When they saw her, everyone stood up almost at the same time.

Dacheng said, "Jia'er, this is bad. The formation we figured out more than half a month ago has somehow spread to the Kingdom of Qiluo. Right now, they're practicing on the border, like they're putting on a demonstration."
