A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 193 Want to Help Them

Since these officers and soldiers were quite polite, Shen Qingqian had to give them face.

She picked up a portion of beef and said, "We haven't touched this, so you can have it. But I won't charge you, can you make a small request?"

"Make a request? What request?"

After hearing what Shen Qingqian said, the short officer did not take her beef, but looked surprised.

Shen Qingqian spoke quite loudly just now, and everyone else heard it.

The chief of the police came over and asked, "Little girl, what do you want? Tell me! But we won't help you just for a piece of beef."

Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, we don't need any help."

She pointed at the women and said, "I just saw that the dry food they brought is no longer edible. We still have some food here. Can we share it with them?"

The chief officer looked at Shen Qingqian for a while, then looked at the women, frowned and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Shen Qingqian shook her head, "I don't know them, we are just women, and I just want to help them. I don't know what crime they have committed, and I don't care, but they have been caught in the rain, and if they are hungry, if they get sick, it will be troublesome for you, the clerks, right?"

The chief officer did not agree immediately, as if he was trying to determine the truthfulness of Shen Qingqian's words.

Shen Qingqian pushed the beef in his hand towards him again and said, "I am just suggesting it. If it embarrasses you, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything. This beef is my gift to you, so feel free to take it and eat it."

The short officer whispered in the chief officer's ear: "Boss, could it be that they are in league with the women of the Zheng family, waiting here on purpose, hoping to take the opportunity to poison us and rescue these people?"

Although the short officer spoke in a whisper, all four of them heard it.

Shen Qingqian was speechless. This was why she didn't dare to meddle in other people's business. As expected, she was suspected!

She didn't say anything else, put the beef in her hand down again, and said to the other three people: "Forget it, let's eat!"

Yingzi was anxious. She stood up and said, "Sir, how can you say that? Our daughter is kind-hearted, but you slander her and say that we want to poison you?

In this case, we should just eat by ourselves, so as not to arouse suspicion of our good intentions!"

As she said that, she sat down, picked up the beef with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, and ate several pieces in a row!

The short officer and the head officer looked at each other. Could it be that they were really overthinking it?

The chief officer suddenly raised his hand and slapped the short officer on the back of the head.

"You are a dog that can't even spit out ivory. What nonsense are you talking about? How can such good beef be poisonous?"

The short officer complained: "Boss, I'm just taking precautions. It's better to be safe than sorry!"

The chief of the police ignored him and said to Shen Qingqian, "Little girl, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now!"

Although Shen Qingqian didn't want to be misunderstood, her original intention was to help others. How could she take such a small matter to heart?

She said, "It's okay, but we have already touched the beef. I wonder if the official would mind?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind!"

Without waiting for the chief officer to say anything, the short officer picked up the beef and ran away.

The chief of the police said, "The little girls are kind-hearted. Just give them food. We won't care."

Shen Qingqian smiled and praised: "Thank you, sir, you are such a good man!"

The officials went back contentedly to drink and eat meat.

Yingzi quickly ran out, took two boxes of snacks from the carriage and distributed them to the women.

"Thank you!"

The young woman took a piece of dessert tremblingly and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, ladies, but I'm afraid we won't have the chance to repay you."

Yingzi gave a kind smile and said, "You're welcome. My daughter is kind-hearted and you don't need to repay her."

The quarter of an hour's meal time had passed, but the officers were not in a hurry to put shackles on these women, which made Shen Qingqian feel more favorable towards them.

It was still raining outside. After Shen Qingqian and the others had eaten, they leaned together for a rest.

The women's clothes were basically dry, and they closed their eyes and rested for a while.

The rain didn't stop until the evening.

But they still couldn't hurry on. First, the road was too muddy and difficult to walk on; second, if they set out at this time, even if they arrived at Xiangyang City, the city gate would have been closed and they would not be able to get in.

Today, they were destined to spend the night in this dilapidated temple.

A few officials with a group of women and scholars could not continue their journey, so they had to stay here overnight.

"Yingzi, go get the three roast ducks. We'll eat one, give one to them, and the remaining one will be used as a snack for the officials."

When it got dark, Shen Qingqian gave instructions to Yingzi.

"it is good!"

Yingzi agreed and ran out to get it.

The roast duck was the famous fruit wood roast duck in Beijing. Shen Qingqian bought three in total, originally planning to give one to each of her two brothers and one sister. Now that she encountered this situation, she could only bring it to them next time.

In the Chu Mansion, Chu Heng sat behind the desk, his face even gloomier than the weather outside.

Ah Xiong stood opposite him and reported: "Master, I still haven't heard any news about Young Master Yuan."

Chu Heng slapped his palm on the table and said through gritted teeth: "More than 20 people, can they disappear out of thin air? I don't believe that Shen Qingqian dared to kill them!"

Ah Xiong said: "The four people we sent out to explore Black Rock Mountain last night all fell into different traps, and each of them was injured."

Chu Heng is good at scheming and is used to making plans, but he is repeatedly frustrated by Shen Qingqian. How can he swallow this humiliation!

"In that case, there is no need to go to Black Rock Mountain. Send a few capable people to Ping'an Town to secretly capture some of Shen Qingqian's closest people and bring them back to exchange for Qing Yuan!"

Ah Xiong hesitated and said, "Master, will this offend Master Zhou and General Yang?"

Chu Heng said nonchalantly: "Master Zhou has already retired and returned to his hometown, can he still come to me to settle accounts because of a student?

As for the Yang family, didn’t they make their position clear last time? They will not interfere in the affairs between me and Shen Qingqian anymore. "

Seeing that Chu Heng had made up his mind, Ah Xiong didn't dare to say anything more. He agreed and went down to make the arrangements.

In Liu Yuyao's room, two maids came in holding a bright red wedding dress.

"Miss, your wedding dress has been embroidered. Would you like to try it on now?"

Liu Yuyao was overjoyed, "Of course I want to try it, help me put it on now!"

"Yes, ma'am."
