The universal system is a bit cute

Chapter 289 Extortion
The two attendants stood aside in a daze, neither persuading nor leaving, they could only watch from the sidelines.

The two of them are far worse than Cui Zhi. If they really want to fight, Qiu Gaoyuan will not be Cui Zhi's opponent.

I'm afraid, Cui Zhi can overturn Qiu Gaoyuan to the ground with just one little finger.

Just as the commotion was raging, Yu Bilan rushed over, grabbed Qiu Gaoyuan, and said, "Father, what's the matter? This is Cui Huwei, please don't do this."

She had been outside before, not sure what happened.

All she knew was that Cui Zhi was Zuo Muchen's guard, and his status was higher than theirs.

Moreover, Cui Zhi's skills are very good, if Qiu Gaoyuan annoyed him and he beat Qiu Gaoyuan hard, it would be bad.

Yu Bilan was worried that something might happen to Qiu Gaoyuan.

Although Qiu Gaoyuan really wanted to drive Cui Zhi away, he didn't just drive him away like this. He could perform another show and wake up Cui Zhi.

"Don't hold me back. This kid is so shameless. He actually came to us to propose marriage and wanted to marry Miaomiao. He didn't even think about how much betrothal gift he could offer? How could he marry Miaomiao?"

This is very straightforward, it is to force Cui Zhi to come over with a dowry.

Yu Bilan was confused, and was very puzzled by her husband's words.

From her understanding, Qiu Miaomiao's ability to marry Cui Zhi was a high priority.

But why Qiu Gaoyuan refused to agree?
She wanted to ask, but she was used to being bullied by Qiu Gaoyuan, so she knew that she couldn't talk too much in this situation.Regardless of why Qiu Gaoyuan did this, whether it made sense or not, in short, she could not disgrace him in front of outsiders.

In any case, she had to follow his will.

Yu Bilan didn't dare to interrupt, she just helped Qiu Gaoyuan and glared at Cui Zhi.

How could Cui Zhi not understand Qiu Gaoyuan's meaning, knowing that today it was impossible to persuade Qiu Gaoyuan no matter what, so he had to withdraw angrily.

"Master Qiu, since you are unwilling to listen to my explanation, I have to go back first. Please consider my suggestion carefully. As for the betrothal gift, I will prepare it."

After Cui Zhi finished speaking, he left with two followers.

He was in a very bad mood. He never expected that when he came to propose marriage, he would end up being kicked out of the house.

It was almost like running away.

He originally thought that even if Qiu Gaoyuan was not happy and had any thoughts towards him, at least on the surface he would have to be polite to him.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Gaoyuan beat him with a stool like a shrew.

It really took him 12 points of effort to restrain his temper.

The two attendants followed behind Cui Zhi, not daring to show their air.

They have never seen the captain suffer such a big loss.

Of course, they knew why this happened, and they couldn't help sighing secretly, lamenting the captain's deep love for Qiu Miaomiao.

If it wasn't for the deep love for Qiu Miaomiao, their captain would not be so useless.

In the Xueluo clan, no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous to their captain.Even Zuo Qingmo and Zuo Muchen were polite to the captain.

Not to mention the other people in Zuofu, the captain didn't dump them at all.

It's good now, being so humiliated by Qiu Gaoyuan.

The two attendants felt wronged for Cui Zhi in their hearts, and wanted to go back and teach Qiu Gaoyuan a lesson, but they were afraid of ruining the captain's good deed, so they had to bear it hard.

Akita was not too surprised by this result.

She knew Qiu Gaoyuan's virtue too well, and knew that he would not miss such a good opportunity so easily, no matter what.

Now he must have made up his mind to blackmail Cui Zhi.

Instead of leaving, she stayed in the teahouse and continued to monitor Qiu Gaoyuan.

She needs to know what Qiu Gaoyuan's plan is next and where his bottom line is.

Cui Zhi has already left, and Yu Bilan still doesn't know the situation, so she will definitely ask Qiu Gaoyuan.And Qiu Gaoyuan will definitely tell her, because Cui Zhi will definitely come to the door next time, and Yu Bilan has to cooperate.

Especially when Qiu Gaoyuan was away and Cui Zhi came again, Yu Bilan had to know what to do.

As expected by Akita, when Cui Zhi left, Yu Bilan hurriedly closed the courtyard door to block the curious eyes of the neighbors.

As soon as the door was closed, the anger on Qiu Gaoyuan's face disappeared immediately, and there was nothing left.

He smiled mockingly, turned and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Yu Bilan quickly followed him back into the house and closed the door.

"His father, what's going on? Cui Zhi really came to propose marriage?" Yu Bilan asked in a low voice.

Although Qiu Gaoyuan looked down on women, Yu Bilan was also the mistress of the house, and she had to be told about these family affairs.

He gave a soft "hmm" and said, "He seems to like Miao Miao very much."

"That's a good thing. Why don't you agree?" Yu Bilan was very puzzled.

Back then, when they married the eldest daughter and the second daughter, the two of them didn't care about each other's character and age at all. As long as the other party had a good family background and could afford enough dowry, they agreed to marry their daughters over.

Even so, the people the two daughters married were from a decent family, not a wealthy family.

Although Qiu Tiantian married into the Zuo Mansion, but at the beginning, before they got married, no one was optimistic about this marriage.

In their eyes, after Akita married, he was bound to be discriminated against and had no status in the Zuofu. Guarding a naughty boy every day was not much different from guarding an empty house alone.

Unexpectedly, after Akita got married, she got along very well.

Not only is she very prestigious in the Zuo Manor, but even Zuo Qingmo looks favorably on her, and she also gets along very well with Zuo Muchen.

In the eyes of many people, Zuo Muchen is simply in the hands of Akita Tian, ​​and she can make it flat or round as she likes.

This was beyond their expectation.

It was also because of Qiu Tiantian that they had more confidence. When looking for a husband's family for Qiu Miaomiao, their requirements were naturally much higher.

But even so, Cui Zhi also exceeded their expectations.

Think about it, young and promising, with a high status in Zuofu, there are no elders, no brothers and sisters in the family, and all the property belongs to him alone.

After Qiu Miaomiao got married, wouldn't those properties belong to the Qiu family?

They are very confident that they can use various names to get those properties little by little.

Such an ideal son-in-law is hard to find with a lantern. Why doesn't Qiu Gaoyuan agree?

Yu Bilan can be said to be puzzled.

Qiu Gaoyuan glanced at her and said, "Women have long hair but short knowledge. What do you know? This Cui Zhi wants to marry Miao Miao very much. It seems that he is willing to spend all his money for Miao Miao. So, we can't marry her." If you let go too soon, you must make him feel that we are not happy to marry Miao Miao to him. Only in this way will he be willing to pay more dowry."

As Qiu Gaoyuan said, he walked to the table, picked up the gift box left by Cui Zhi, and looked at the gifts inside with satisfaction.

Yu Bilan also saw the gift box, her eyes lit up.

"This is from Cui Zhi? There are so many things, are they all valuable?"

She picked up a jade bracelet and put it on her hand.Picking up another piece of satin, he put it in front of him and gestured, his face full of joy.

Qiu Gaoyuan said disdainfully: "What is this idea? We Miaomiao, we can't marry with this little thing. If Cui Zhi wants to marry Miaomiao, he has to spend much more money than this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Bilan burst into a smile, and the smile on her face became tighter and deeper.

"That's really nice."

But soon, her smile turned into worry again.

"His father, you offended him too much today. Will he refuse to marry Miao Miao in a fit of anger?"

Qiu Gaoyuan said: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of propriety. I can see that this kid is very obsessed with Miaomiao, and he won't give up just because of this idea. Didn't you hear him say that he will Come again."

Yu Bilan thought about it and couldn't help but nodded, looking at Qiu Gaoyuan with eyes full of reverence.

Seeing her gaze, Akita felt very disgusted and made people want to vomit.

This couple is not a kind person, they only think about other people's property.

After Qiu Zhanpeng's big lesson, he still doesn't know how to repent and treat his daughter better.

They deserve to suffer.

Before that, when Akita Tian saw the dilapidated yard of the Qiu family in the teahouse, he actually felt a little bit sorry.

She felt that Qiu Gaoyuan and his wife had lived in such a dilapidated place for so long, and the punishment they received was almost the same. If they behaved well today and wanted Qiu Miaomiao to live happily, she would spare them and let them move to a better place. place to live.

In any case, they also provided her with such a good skin, allowing her to live freely in this world.

Although the original owner was forced to death by them, they also gave the original owner his life.

So, forget about the past.

She really did not expect that these two people would be so vicious and bully Cui Zhi so much.

Her original ideas of sympathy and pity were all gone, and all that was left was her disgust and hatred for the couple.

They deserve to suffer. What is the pain they are suffering now?
They just wait to live in this shitty house.

No, this house is not bad enough, they better live in worse.

The house is spacious enough, and although it is a bit broken, it will not leak. They are not worthy of living in such a nice house.

Inside the house, Qiu Gaoyuan was enjoying Yu Bilan's admiration, feeling a little giddy.

He thought for a while, and then said in a lesson-like tone: "I did this with long-term considerations in mind. I was thinking that Miao Miao might not marry Cui Zhi. I have to find a way to go to the Zuo Mansion to make connections and see if I can do it." Miao Miao can't be asked to find someone better than Cui Zhi. Even if she wants to marry Cui Zhi in the future, at least we have to ask Cui Zhi to offer more dowry, so that he will be afraid of us. In this way, when Miao Miao gets married After that, we can get more benefits from the Cui family."

Yu Bilan nodded straightly.

She looked at the jade bracelet and satin in her hand, reluctantly put it back into the gift box, and said comfortingly: "That's right. If Miao Miao were to marry someone else, the betrothal gift given by others would definitely be much better than this. What is this idea? We are not rare."

He said it was not rare, but his hands kept touching the gift, obviously very reluctant.

Qiu Gaoyuan sneered and said: "You, you are really a woman. People, we may not marry Cui Zhi, but we have to accept the things he sent. Things sent to Qiu's house can be returned. Can't I go back? Anyway, he didn't say it was a betrothal gift, and what he sent belongs to my Qiu family, so why should he take it back?"

Yu Bilan immediately smiled again, and said, "That's right, I didn't say it was a betrothal gift. Isn't it normal for him to come to Qiu's house and bring some gifts along the way? When we go from house to house, we will also give some gifts to others." Li, there is no reason to come back."

Qiu Gaoyuan smiled and said: "We just don't let go, hang him, wait until the hair on his body is almost plucked, and then betroth Miao Miao to another family."

The two discussed and said some unpleasant words.

Akita Tian's lungs were about to explode.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.

Akita Tian sneered and left Qiu's house.

If she continued to listen, she was afraid that she would really explode in anger, so she had to leave while she was still rational and would not do anything irrational to the couple of dogs.

Anyway, I have heard everything that should be heard, and if I continue to listen, there will be no more valuable things.

Qiu Tiantian was walking back with a stomach full of anger, and saw someone selling novelties on the road, so he bought some to take back, to tease Qiu Miaomiao and Zuo Muchen.

Although Zuo Muchen has returned to normal, he has only changed from his previous state not long ago, and he still likes new things.

In addition, she bought some food.

Although the food in Zuofu is exquisite, there are some things that are only found outside, and it is not bad to change the taste.

Akita Tanamoto had no intention of buying these things, she was in a bad mood, but, thinking of the possible harm these things might cause to Qiu Miaomiao, she still prepared these things in advance to comfort Qiu Miaomiao.

She knew that Qiu Miaomiao still had feelings for the Qiu family, so the actions of Qiu Gaoyuan and his wife would definitely make her very sad.

When Qiu Tiantian returned to Qixia Residence, Zuo Muchen had already returned, and was playing with Xiaoyin and Qiu Miaomiao in the room.

Xiaoyin had a lot of fun with him, but Qiu Miaomiao seemed a little cautious.

Ever since the eldest lady's maids made a scene, Qiu Miaomiao has always been a little uncomfortable in front of Zuo Muchen.

However, it has improved a lot now.

After her relationship with Cui Zhi was made public, she got along with Zuo Muchen a lot more calmly.

At least, the people in Qixiaju will no longer think that she lives here to get close to Zuo Muchen.

Seeing Qiu Tiantian jumping in from the window, Zuo Muchen immediately asked: "How is it? Did your father agree?"

As soon as Akita heard it, he knew that Qiu Miaomiao had told the truth.

With Xueluoshan and his party, Qiu Miaomiao had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Qiu Tiantian and Zuo Muchen, and knew that these things about Qiu Tiantian were gradually no longer hidden from him.

Moreover, Akita Tian had confessed before leaving, so she generously "betrayed" her sister and told Zuo Muchen that she had sneaked out of the house.

Akita shook his head and said, "It's not that easy."

As she spoke, she walked to the table and placed the things she bought outside on the table.

There were no expected cheers, and the room was strangely quiet.

It was too quiet, a little too quiet.

"Don't you like it?" Akita asked in surprise, "What are you looking at me for?"

Although Qiu Miaomiao was reserved, Zuo Muchen was not.At least, they have to show it, there is no such thing as no reaction at all.

The two people in front of them didn't even look at the things she put on the table. To be precise, they should have only glanced at them, and then turned their eyes back to her.

Hearing her question, Qiu Miaomiao's eyes dimmed a lot.

Zuo Muchen was more straightforward, saying: "Things must be very difficult, and it must be worse than what you said. Otherwise, you wouldn't have released so many things as soon as you came. It's clear that you want to make us happy."

He is not very shy in front of Qiu Miaomiao now, and he no longer deliberately pretends to be a fool.

Playing a fool is tiring, and he doesn't want to do it in front of someone he can trust.

Moreover, he has already told Zuo Qingmo and others today that he has become a cultivator.In the near future, he will become normal in front of everyone.

Therefore, it is nothing special to show it in front of Qiu Miaomiao in advance.

Qiu Miaomiao was so nervous now that she didn't even notice whether Zuo Muchen was stupid or smart.

When she heard what Zuo Muchen said, she took it for granted, and her eyes were a little wet.

Akita Tian actually wanted to hide Qiu Miaomiao's performance from Qiu Gaoyuan, but what Qiu Miaomiao said before going out made her change her mind and decided to tell Qiu Miaomiao the truth.

Facts are facts, no matter how much you don't like it, you have to face it.

Akita believes that Qiu Miaomiao will adjust her mentality and know how to face it.

This also prepared her for attacking the Qiu family in the future, otherwise, Qiu Miaomiao would definitely not have the heart to do so.

Qiu Tiantian raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said, "All right, you're amazing, you guessed the truth. Master Qiu really did not agree to Cui Zhi's marriage proposal, and kicked him out."

"What?" Qiu Miaomiao was shocked, "He actually drove him away? How could he do this? This, this is really too much."

"It's really too much." Zuo Muchen slapped the table vigorously, "What is Cui Zhi's identity? Even if he refuses to agree, at most he just refuses, how can he drive him away?"

Zuo Muchen was very angry, Cui Zhi was his bodyguard, his status was much higher than Qiu Gaoyuan's.

Of course, as a relative, Qiu Gaoyuan is indeed qualified to drive away Cui Zhi.

But doing so is really embarrassing.

Akita Tian hurriedly persuaded: "You two, don't be so excited, Master Qiu did that for a reason."

She doesn't call him dad anymore, she really despises Qiu Gaoyuan's personality, she won't call him dad anymore.

But for Qiu Miaomiao's sake, he didn't call him a more ugly name in front of her, so he had no choice but to call him Master Qiu.

It's just that the voice of Master Qiu sounded extremely sarcastic.

Qiu Miaomiao quickly asked: "Sister, what is the reason for him to do that? Please explain clearly, don't be so vague."

Akita raised his hand and pressed down, signaling them to be quiet.

"I didn't mean to be vague. What I want to tell you is that you are too impatient. Well, you all sit down. I will start from the beginning and tell you everything."

Sure enough, both Qiu Miaomiao and Zuo Muchen stopped interrupting Qiu Tiantian and sat down at the table.

Qiu Miaomiao was nervous and caring too much, so she didn't dare to interrupt Qiu Tiantian.

Zuo Muchen was more curious than concerned. In addition, he was still angry and wanted to know the facts, so as to see how he could help Cui Zhi.

Akita Tian then told all the situation after he left the mansion one by one.

From when she sat and waited in the teahouse, when she saw Cui Zhi coming, to the conversation between Cui Zhi and Qiu Gaoyuan, and after Cui Zhi left, the conversation between Qiu Gaoyuan and Yu Bilan and his wife, everything was detailed, and I told them all. up.

After speaking, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

The tea I drank in the tea house today is not too little, but after running this trip, she still hasn't caught her breath, and after talking so many words at once, her mouth is a little dry.

Qiu Miaomiao sat at the table in a daze, staring at the table without blinking, with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.

Akita Tian felt pity spontaneously.

This child is really pitiful. She must still have hope in her family, hoping that even if they want to extort some money, it will at most be like extorting the elder brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law. Even if it is more, she will accept it.

She even decided that if her father and mother offered too high a price, she would pay part of it herself.

Of course, Cui Zhi had to hide this from him.

She wanted Akita Tian to find someone to talk to her parents in private, and she would pay part of the money, and then reduce part of the dowry that Cui Zhi asked for.

She will not let her parents know that she paid for the money.

Otherwise, they would think that her things belonged to the Qiu family in the first place, and they should have obtained them in the first place, so how could it be possible to take advantage of Cui Zhi?
How to do it, she believes that Akita will have a way.

For example, you can make peace between people and say that it was Cui Zhi's work, but don't put it on the bright side, because the faces of the two families are not good-looking, etc., and other reasons.

She never expected that her parents would be so greedy.

Not only is he greedy, but he has no bottom line in being a human being, and he bullies people like this.

Not only did they want to blackmail Cui Zhi, they even wanted to take those things for nothing, extorting money from him, and they didn't want to marry his daughter to him.

This can't be called greed anymore, it should be called despicable and bad.

With such parents, how can she treat them well?How can she understand them again?
She doesn't even want to call them parents now, she wants to call them Mrs. Qiu just like Akita Tian.

Qiu Miaomiao was really sad. Such parents didn't treat her like a daughter at all.

They didn't think about her happiness at all, only how much benefit she could bring them.

Zuo Muchen was so angry that he yelled: "It's too much, it's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. I'll go to my father and ask him to point out my relatives. I must make Qiu Gaoyuan agree to marry my daughter."

He was originally a very kind person, and he never put on airs in front of servants.

But now, he is really impatient and wants to make Qiu Gaoyuan look good.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to use the power of Zuofu to suppress people, to see if Qiu Gaoyuan dared not agree.

He has to find a place for Cui Zhi.

Qiu Tiantian quickly grabbed him and said, "Mu Chen, sit down first, and don't look for your father."

Zuo Muchen said dissatisfiedly: "Tiantian, do you still want to speak for him? How has he bullied you sisters? You have already encountered Qiu Zhanpeng, and you still don't know how to repent and treat you well." Point. You let me go and vent this anger for you two sisters. Don't worry, I won't do anything to them. "
