Chapter 174 Secret Help
Upon hearing this, Qu Jingyao, who was writing furiously at her desk, quickly stood up and walked out of the room.
"Come on, come with me and take a look. Oh, and let the kitchen know they've added more food today. Also, have Mr. Wu's family's yard been cleaned?"
"Master, rest assured. Nanny Qin packed everything up yesterday. Everything that needed to be prepared was also prepared. Miss Gu valued your pattern, and I have also taken the fabric back."
"Okay, let's go."
The master and servant soon arrived at the front yard.
Qu Jingyao walked into the front hall and bowed to Mr. Wu with a smile on his face.
"My daughter greets you, Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu."
"Oh, don't be so polite, I want to thank you."
Old Mrs. Wu stood up and walked forward to hold her hand, her eyes full of gratitude.
The two sisters-in-law of the Liu family chatted with Mrs. Wu with a smile.
"Mrs. Wu looks good today."
"I also want to thank Miss Qu for the medicine. After taking it, I feel much better and my energy has improved a lot."
Mr. Wu and Mrs. Liu praised Qu Jingyao and thanked her for raising such outstanding children.
"Mr. Wu, you are so polite. You can rest assured and stay here from now on. The yard is ready. I will ask Butler Tian and Nanny Qin to take you there later. If you need anything else, I will ask Nanny Qin to buy it."
After Liu's words fell, Yue Niang beside her also nodded, and politely said that she would have to trouble him to take care of her two boys in the future.
"You two ladies are too polite. Not to mention Miss Qu's kindness, I admire her sincerity."
Seeing that Madam Wu looked a little tired, Qu Jingyao ordered Nanny Qin to send her back to the yard.
In addition, Liu asked Nanny Qin to take the little maid Yunzhu, who was sent from the yard yesterday, with her to take care of Madam Wu and the old lady in the future.
Mr. Wu bowed in gratitude.
"Mr. Wu thanks everyone very much. We will go back first."
"Okay, send Mr. Wu off. There's no need to rush to class. It's not too late to talk about it later."
Finally, they agreed to start the class two days later.
After Qu Jingyao dealt with these matters, she instructed Steward Tian to go to Qing Academy and explain to Mr. Yan that her two younger brothers would no longer go to school.
Qu Jingyao returned to the yard and had just been quiet for a while when the door was knocked again.
"Master, Shu Yue is crying outside the gate, asking to see the Second Madam."
She frowned and clenched her slender fingers tightly.
"What is she going to do now?"
"Master, I saw that she seemed injured and was crying and shouting that she was poisoned."
"Why are you looking for my aunt when she's poisoned? Send her away and tell her that she hasn't been feeling well these past two days and can't see anyone. She's injured and should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible."
When Baiguo heard what his master said, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, then bowed and left the room.
After Baiguo left, Qu Jingyao quickly slipped into the space and asked Xiaohuo what had bitten Shuyue yesterday?
"A non-venomous rat snake."
Xiaohuo's answer made Qu Jingyao's mouth twitch.
She walked slowly towards the spiritual field. She had said before that she wanted to see the ginseng, but she had never seen it.
I happen to have some free time right now.
"Master, you are here." Tuanzi, who was sitting next to the medicinal herb field, curled up in a ball and was guarding the ginseng.
"What are you doing here, dango?"
she asked curiously.
"I'm watching over it for the master to prevent it from running around."
Tuanzi pointed naively at the lush ginseng in the spiritual field.
Only then did she see clearly that the ginseng was indeed much larger than the ones next to it, and it was emitting spiritual energy all over.
Seeing this, Qu Jingyao curled up the corners of her lips and smiled, touching Tuanzi's head and asking if it was trying to absorb the spiritual energy.
"hey-hey......"
"Master, someone is coming outside." A voice full of reminder came.
She quickly slipped out of the space, and Baiguo was knocking on the door outside.
Qu Jingyao walked to the table and sat down, saying calmly, "Come in."
She took a sip of tea and looked up at Bai Guo who walked in.
"Master, Shu Yue was scolded by Qingfeng and left crying."
Qu Jingyao, who was holding the teacup, paused. This Qingfeng was really interesting.
"Well, it's good to go."
Bai Guo said that the villagers had a prejudice against Shu Yue in the past two days. She was often seen getting close to Qu Xiuxiu from the Qu family, and everyone was talking about her greed.
"Haha, she walked all the paths under her feet by herself."
She put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes flashing slightly as she smiled sarcastically.
Bai Guo didn't expect that Shu Yue was so stupid that she would do something stupid just by being provoked by others.
"Can the fabric and spare patterns be handed over to Mrs. Lin?"
"I have already sent it. Sister Lin said it would take at least half a month to complete, but fortunately Miss Gu gave us a one-month deadline."
She nodded. There was plenty of time, and it wouldn't be a difficult task for Mrs. Lin and the others.
She hasn't seen her eldest brother recently, so she asked Baiguo if he knew what the eldest young master was doing recently.
"This... I seem to have heard from Steward Tian that the eldest young master hasn't returned since he left with Cang Yan last time."
Qu Jingyao, with a slightly frowned brow, was also curious about what Cang Yan was going to do with his elder brother.
She didn't know that at this time Cang Yan and Qu Qingchen were deep in the valley, fighting with spies from the enemy country.
"Master, please be careful."
Cang Yan came to Qu Qingchen's side and reminded him. The two of them looked at the four people in front of them with cold eyes.
When he heard their voices were very different from Yuan Shaoguo's, Cang Yan knew the identities of these people.
"What are they talking about?"
"Master, these people must be spies from the enemy country."
When Qu Qingchen heard this, excitement flashed in his eyes. He just wanted to use these people to practice. He told Cang Yan not to do anything and he would do it himself.
"But Master..."
"No problem, if I can't do it, you'll be on top."
"Okay, Master, be careful."
Cang Yan drew out a sharp sword and handed it to him.
Qu Qingchen curled the corners of his lips as he faced the enemy's scimitar.
His figure was as straight as a pine tree, and his deep eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Cang Yan's eyes kept following the figures of the few people, fearing that the eldest young master would be injured and unable to explain to the princess.
With loud bangs, the sound of metal colliding resounded throughout the valley.
Amidst sparks flying, the figures of several people crossed each other in an instant, and each leaped back several feet, with a suffocating murderous aura surrounding them.
"Master, be careful."
Cang Yan suddenly saw the enemy attacking from behind, and immediately leaned forward and flew over.
But none of them saw the cold arrow shot from a distance, heading straight for Qu Qingchen's chest.
"Master, that's Miss Qu's brother."
As soon as Xuan Lei finished speaking, Leng Yanxiu drew his bow and shot two arrows at once.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow shot at Qu Qingchen was intercepted by Leng Yanxiu.
The few people who were still fighting in the woods did not notice this scene.
"Master, do you want me to help you?"
Leng Yanxiu's eyes were extremely deep, his dark pupils flashed with a faint light, and there was some emotion that Xuan Lei could not understand.
"The men around him are enough to deal with those people. He has a purpose for not showing up. Just watch."
Xuan Lei looked carefully at this time, and now he could see something.
