Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!
Chapter 100 The real murderer behind the scenes
Qu Jingyao and his servant carried several pieces of cotton cloth and went straight to the main house in the front yard.
The Liu family was waiting for her to eat. Qu Qingchen secretly glanced at her sister's face, fearing that she was still angry.
"Mom, little aunt, you can use these cotton cloths first."
Yue Niang took the cloth from her hand, smiled angrily and said there was no rush. She had mentioned it yesterday and the girl had taken it to heart.
"Mother, in two days I will teach you and my aunt how to weave."
"Ah? Is it this kind of cotton?"
Qu Jingyao nodded and sat next to her aunt.
Baiguo poured a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her.
"Mom, I'm going to Aunt Cuilian's house soon. If you and Auntie are bored at home, you can embroider something according to my previous patterns."
When Yue Niang heard her words, she nodded in agreement, muttering that it would be really boring if she didn't do anything.
Liu smiled and decided to go together after breakfast. She had previously seen a screen pattern that she thought was pretty good.
Qu Jingyao listened to the two sisters-in-law chatting animatedly without disturbing them, and soon the bowl of porridge was finished.
She called the Xiaochen brothers to follow her down the mountain and take them to the town later to check on the school.
Yue Niang thankfully said there was no need to worry, as there were a lot of things going on at home recently, including building a house...
"Don't worry, little auntie. I know what's going on."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and told Liu that she would go down the mountain first. When she walked to her brother's side, she casually reminded him.
"Brother, if someone causes trouble, just fight back. Don't be afraid. I'm your sister if anything happens!"
Qu Qingchen didn't expect his sister to say that, and thought she was really angry with him yesterday.
He nodded in surprise and said, "Yeah, I understand."
Qu Jingyao curled the corners of her lips and walked out of the courtyard with the three people behind her.
As soon as they came down the mountain, they saw Mrs. Xu and her family hurriedly riding in an ox cart heading out of the village.
"Sister, what is that family in such a hurry to do?"
Qu Jingyao looked towards the outside of the village and smiled sarcastically with the corners of his lips raised.
"Ignore them, let's go to the village head uncle's house first."
Several people walked towards the village. When they passed by Qu Hongsen's yard, they heard a burst of noise coming from the yard.
"Quick, call a doctor, what happened to the old man?"
Bai Guo spat into the yard with contempt in his eyes: "Bah, you deserve it."
The Xiaochen brothers chuckled and muttered that it turned out that Sister Baiguo could do such a thing.
Baiguo's expression froze, and he turned away embarrassedly.
Qu Jingyao giggled. Baiguo was usually cold, so it was no wonder that the Xiaochen brothers thought so.
As they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at the yard of Xu Lizheng's house, and the uncle Lizheng just came out.
"Yao girl, you've come just in time. Uncle wanted to go look for you in the mountains. Didn't the master who built the house yesterday say he would come to check out the place today?"
Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded, saying that she came here just for this matter.
As Xu Lizheng was saying that it was almost time, a horse-drawn carriage drove over from a distance. The driver was none other than Master Li from yesterday.
"Here I come, hurry up, Yao girl."
Xu Lizheng called her to go over together.
"Xu..."
The carriage stopped in front of Xu Lizheng and his companions.
The two Li masters jumped out of the carriage: "Xu Lizheng, Yao girl."
"Uncle Li, you've arrived just in time. Let's go check out the place first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lizheng led the two of them towards the back mountain. Bai Guo took over the carriage at the back, and slowly followed behind, leading the horse.
The Xiaochen brothers followed their sister and listened to them discussing building a house.
Master Li was stunned when he saw the wasteland before him. Then he put his hand to his chin and said thoughtfully, "This is also a place with excellent feng shui. Not bad. Who chose this place?"
Qu Jingyao was stunned, and Xu Lizheng looked at her in surprise.
"Uncle Li, I just picked this randomly."
"Haha...girl, your luck is still to come."
Qu Jingyao blinked, not understanding what it meant, but Xu Lizheng at the side explained to her that most house builders would consider Feng Shui, so this place must be really good.
She curled her lips and smiled. She was really lucky to be able to buy this wasteland.
After a quarter of an hour of discussion, the specific location of the house was basically finalized, and we just had to wait for an auspicious day to start construction.
"Girl, the day after tomorrow is a good day, I wonder..."
Xu Lizheng tentatively asked for her opinion.
Qu Jingyao nodded, and decided that it would be the day after tomorrow, so she finalized it with the two Master Lis, and they would go back to prepare things.
"Master Li, this is half of the deposit. As for the materials, thank you for your hard work, Master Li."
"No problem, Yao girl, even if you don't tell me, I, your uncle, know what's going on. When I came here, Wan Niang specifically reminded me of it."
A hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Qu Jingyao's eyes. She didn't expect that Sister Wanniang was so concerned about her affairs.
"Thank you, Master Li."
After a cup of tea, Qu Jingyao and Xu Lizheng saw the two masters off.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'll leave the construction of the house to you. I have to go to the town today."
"Go ahead, don't worry."
Xu Li was about to talk to her about what happened yesterday, but seeing that she didn't seem to care too much, he swallowed his words.
As they were walking towards the village, an ox cart quickly passed by them.
"Are you so anxious to seek death? You almost hit the young master." Bai Guo pulled Xiao Yang over and shouted angrily at the ox cart.
Qu Jingyao discovered that the person lying in the car was Qu Hongsen. His half-dead appearance made her feel relieved.
"Da da da......"
In the distance, two officers were riding horses and rushing towards the village.
"Xu Lizheng, please stay." Hearing the officer's shout, several people stopped.
He exchanged a glance with Qu Jingyao beside him, and then asked the officer if there was anything wrong.
The officer jumped off his horse and said:
"It's like this. One of the arsonists who was sent to the government office has died from his injuries. The other one did reveal the mastermind behind the incident, but that person is already dead."
The frown on Qu Jingyao's brow grew heavier, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes:
"I wonder if you could tell me who is behind this?"
"It's the eldest young master of the Wu family."
Bai Guo came to her side and murmured softly: "Is there..."
Qu Jingyao shook her head and leaned over to ask the two men, "Then, sir, since the eldest son of the Wu family is dead, does that mean we don't have to compensate for our losses?"
The officer smiled and said, "This girl is really impatient." As he spoke, he took out a silver note from his pocket and handed it forward.
"Don't worry, young lady. The county magistrate is a man of integrity and honesty. He won't let this happen. I've ordered the Wu family to compensate your family with one hundred taels of silver. As for the person behind this, he's already passed away, so there's nothing we can do about it."
Qu Jingyao gestured to Baiguo to take the banknote and handed over two taels of silver.
"Thank you for your hard work, my two officers. This is tea for you."
After the two left, Qu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened.
Xu Lizheng told her that no matter what the truth was, it was better to be careful, because the Wu family had already had deep roots in the town.
