Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

into the night.

Jiang Qiao'er settled down in Lu Garden.

After several sleepless nights, she was finally able to get a good night's sleep.

There was also calming incense burning in the room.

She fell asleep quickly in the soft, fragrant mattress, and even started snoring softly.

When Lu Qingyao returned, she didn't ask anything. She told Qiao'er to take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep before asking any questions.

She learned about it from her older brother.

Qiao'er was being pressured into marriage, and they even came to her door. In a fit of anger, she made a harsh statement, saying that she would become a nun and would not marry anyone.

Given her current personality, she might actually dare to go if pushed too far.

Her brother and sister-in-law were afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the gossip and would actually become a nun, so they sent her to their door asking them to take care of her for a while.

Fortunately, they weren't coerced into agreeing; their resolve was quite strong.

No matter how important the matter, eat well, sleep well, and get enough rest before dealing with anything else.

Seeing that everyone was asleep, Lu Qingyao returned to her own room.

I saw my little girl rolling around in bed, wide awake and full of energy.

She went up and grabbed the little one, tucked her in, and said, "Time for bed."

The little guy looked at her with a smile.

"Sister, are you asleep?" Xiuxiu peeked in.

As she asked questions today, Qiao'er fell silent and didn't get any answers.

Lu Qingyao was just looking for Xiuxiu to chat with when she arrived. "If you're still awake, come in and sit down."

Jiang Miaomiao also sat up and snuggled into her mother's arms. She loved sleeping in her mother's arms; they were so sweet and soft.

It seems that my mother and Aunt Xiuxiu aren't planning to go out tonight.

The two lived next to each other and often whispered to each other inside, sometimes even refusing to let Jiang Miaomiao hear.

The two often took turns going out at night, always dressed in black.

As a result, Jiang Miaomiao's memory became somewhat confused.

Several times she woke up feeling a little groggy in the morning. She remembered that she was sleeping in her mother's arms, but when she woke up she was in Aunt Xiuxiu's room.

Jiang Miaomiao found a comfortable position, pricked up her ears, and listened to their chatter. Aunt Xiuxiu asked her mother: Sister, what's going on with Qiao'er?

My mother said that Qiao'er had originally agreed to marry Qin Sanlang, but inexplicably became his cousin Qin Siyan, who was much older than Qiao'er and was still made to be his second wife.

Qiao'er had only just agreed to marry Qin Sanlang after much difficulty, and now this had happened, which was no different from a marriage scam. How could Qiao'er possibly agree to it?

What's even more infuriating is that ever since the Qin family came to propose marriage and were rejected...

Many families came to her door seeking her hand in marriage; there were widowers with children, elderly scholars, and even scoundrels.

Her uncle then sent her to Jiangzhou to avoid the trouble.

Aunt Xiuxiu slapped the bed and said angrily, "This is outrageous! Who exactly is Qin Siyan? How can he be so arrogant?"

How abominable!

Without a doubt, these matchmakers must have been sent by the Qin family to force Qiao'er into submission.

"Qin Siyan is the sixth son of Prefect Qin, who is now the Vice Prefect Qin. His wife died two years ago, and he is a good-for-nothing."

Before returning today, Lu Qingyao made a special trip to inquire about Qin Siyan. It turned out that Qin Siyan was really not a good person and was a lecherous man.

Although the lady is gone, she still has a lot of concubines and maids, so no matter how high the social status, she cannot marry into that family.

Then there's Madam Qin, who is also very arrogant, and all her daughters-in-law are legitimate daughters of officials.

Qiao'er's talent and beauty are both outstanding in Qing Shi Town, but it is still difficult for her to catch Madam Qin's eye.

I guess her son was really hopeless, which is why she condescended to make such a foolish move.

One thing to avoid in life is having a poor family but a beautiful wife.

Qiao'er either has to find someone who can protect her, or she can only rely on herself.

But neither path is easy to take.

Xiuxiu clenched her fists tightly. "Sister, why don't I go and cripple him? Let's see if she still dares to marry Qiao'er!"

Lu Qingyao rubbed her forehead. "Don't always fight in front of the child. If you cripple him, no one will want him, and he'll keep pestering Qiao'er."

"Hehe... I got it." Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue and gave an embarrassed smile.

My sister is right. They have no power but much wealth. They are currently weak and can only gain a foothold in Jiangzhou by relying on the Cui family.

Avoid causing trouble if possible, and don't cause any trouble for Grand Tutor Cui and Princess Liang.

Many people are envious when it comes to business in Qingshi Town.

A thought suddenly popped into her head, "Sister, do you think the Qin family might be after our business?"

Lu Qingyao lowered her eyes and pondered, "It's not impossible. The Qin family must be doing something shady. Do you remember Feng'er mentioning the estate below Qingyun Temple?"

"I remember, I went to investigate. It was heavily guarded inside, and I couldn't get in at all. But I discovered something very puzzling..."

Xiuxiu lowered her voice as she spoke, "I discovered that someone was transporting things into that house in the middle of the night. I saw boxes and boxes that looked like silver. They used that silver to exchange for grain, and then transported the silver and grain together to the capital. Sister, how could a small restaurant like Tianxianglou have so much silver and buy grain every day?"

She spent several nights there, and every night people would bring boxes into the village, and there were quite a few of them.

"Perhaps, Tianxiang Tower is a property of the Qin family," Lu Qingyao said thoughtfully.

There was indeed silver inside; she followed them to the dock and saw them loading it onto the ship.

She had transported grain before, and it was different from the grain they transported. Ordinary people wouldn't notice, but she spotted it immediately.

Several children secretly went to take a look and discovered that some of the guards were government officials.

Therefore, it seems that this matter is inextricably linked to Judge Qin.

And that woman Qi Caiwei is also involved; she's beyond redemption!

Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth.

After a long pause, she asked incredulously, "Sister, do you mean that Prefect Qin, who was formerly Prefect Qin, embezzled and accepted bribes, and used the embezzled money to buy and sell grain in order to avoid punishment from the imperial court?"

"It's not impossible, but there's a problem: how could Judge Qin have embezzled such a large sum of money right under Lord Cui's nose?" That's somewhat hard to believe.

unless……

Unless he obtained the money through other means, Lord Cui would have no way of knowing.

Where did all that silver come from, and where was it transported to?

Lu Qingyao asked, "Xiuxiu, did you manage to track down where the convoy transporting the boxes came from?"

Xiuxiu shook her head. "Those people are too cunning. They returned the vehicles to the rental company early the next morning. As a result, it's impossible to know which of the rental vehicles belong to them, and there's no way to investigate."

Xiuxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she gripped Lu Qingyao's hand tightly.

"Sister, something suddenly occurred to me..."

Xiuxiu felt that her thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer.

"The people who saved Prince Liang were from Tianxiang Tower, and the person behind Tianxiang Tower was Prefect Qin. Then... then Prince Liang and Prefect Qin are birds of a feather."

Lu Qingyao nodded, her expression somewhat serious. "It seems I'll have to go and find out from Princess Liang tomorrow to give her a heads-up." Cui Xingzhou also knows about this.

I just don't know if he's told his family.

Xiuxiu's face darkened. "Sister, didn't the Princess say that the Liang Prince's Mansion also has properties in Jiangzhou? Could the horse farm she gave you be involved in that too?"

Lu Qingyao's expression immediately changed.

"Xiuxiu, tomorrow we not only need to go see Princess Liang, but we also need to go to the horse farm."

She suddenly realized.

Qin Siyan's marriage to Xiuxiu was either because he was interested in the business in Qing Shi Town, or...

Or maybe they just want to drag them down with them...
