The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 153 Qing He Discovers Evidence
Qing He gently picked up the handkerchief, put it to her nose and smelled it, and found that it was different from the scent on Jiang Yaonian's body that night...
She felt a little comforted in her heart, and then she stood in the middle of the study, looked around, and then came to the desk as if possessed.
When she opened the first drawer, her heart was beating so fast!
But there was nothing in the drawer.
Qinghe opened the second drawer... and saw an exquisitely carved ebony flower box inside!
She picked up the box and put it to her nose and smelled it. Suddenly, she heard a slight "buzzing" in her mind. The smell was exactly the same as the smell on Jiang Yaonian's body!
Qing He was silent for a moment, then put the box back and left the study without a word...
If she was skeptical about what Jingying said before, now she completely believes it!
Jiang Yaonian not only accepted the gift from Jingying, but also wore it very carefully!
Perhaps it was because the handkerchief had a fragrance and was a style often worn by young ladies, so she did not wear it on her body but placed it under the zither cover.
This way, every time I play the piano, I can pick it up and recall the time when we played a piece together...
Qinghe did not return to the villa, but went directly to the second gate and took the carriage back to Yao's house.
Yao Furong was very surprised to see her come back, and immediately guessed that something must have gone wrong again.
But Qinghe looked gloomy and said nothing, only expressing that he wanted to go home to see her and Chengzu.
Yao Furong immediately said, "Sister, let's go shopping!"
Qinghe agreed, and the two of them left Yao's house and took a car to the bustling Xinghua Street.
After walking for a while, I saw a group of people gathered in a circle and talked about it: "Oh, what a pity for the little girl!"
"Yes, she looks pretty good!"
"Hey, Third Uncle, do you have fifty taels of silver? If you do, you can take this little girl away..."
"Oh, that won't do! If I take it back, your Third Aunt will be so angry with me!"
"Aunt Li, isn't your son still unmarried? Isn't there a ready-made girl?"
"Oh, how can my good-for-nothing son be worthy of such a pretty girl? I can't even afford fifty taels, let alone a hundred taels!"
Yao Furong immediately became curious and pulled Qinghe into the crowd, only to see a beautiful girl in mourning kneeling on the ground with a sign in front of her saying she would sell herself for 100 taels of silver to bury her mother.
Yao Furong took a closer look at the girl and found that she was very pretty and charming, with a vague resemblance to her elder sister...
Someone in the crowd suggested enthusiastically, "Girl, why don't you go to Mr. Qin's house not far ahead? His ninth concubine recently died, and he is looking around for another one. You've been kneeling here for a long time but no one is interested. Why don't you take a few more steps to ask? At least if it works, you can live a good life wearing gold and silver, and your beautiful face will not be wasted!"
The girl looked up pitifully, with tears in her eyes and shook her head, "No! I won't be anyone's concubine!"
The man sighed, "It won't cost a hundred taels to buy a maid. Forty taels at most will be enough!"
Others echoed, "That's right! Only wealthy families would spend so much money to buy someone. How could an ordinary family be willing to spend a hundred taels?"
After hearing this, the girl lowered her head again in sadness, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably...
Qinghe felt a little soft-hearted after hearing this. Such a young girl was about to have no choice but to become a concubine of a wealthy family.
It is better to help her yourself, just think of it as buying one less piece of jewelry or clothing, it can also be considered as a good deed for helping others!
Qing He took out a banknote from her sleeve and said, "Miss, I have two hundred taels here. You can use it to bury your mother properly, and then use the rest of the money for your journey home!"
When everyone heard this, they turned around and looked at Qinghe in surprise, wondering how could there be such a good person in the world who is willing to stand up for justice?
Two hundred taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family of five to live on for several years, but it was just wasted without a word? Even if she couldn't be a concubine, she could be taken home to be a servant, why let her go back to her hometown!
The girl obviously didn't expect to meet such a good person. She excitedly took the banknote and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss! I am willing to go back with you and serve you like a cow or a horse!"
Qinghe quickly waved her hand shyly and said with a smile: "No need! I have a maid at home. I only helped you because I saw that you were desperate. You don't have to worry about it. Go home quickly." Then she turned and left.
The girl hurriedly caught up, knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, my name is Jin Ling'er. Both my parents have passed away. I am the only one left. I have no other place to go. Please be merciful and take me in!"
Qing He had no choice but to explain: "Miss Jin, I really can't take you in, you should just go home..."
Jin Ling'er looked at Yao Furong pitifully again and said, "Young lady, can you say something for me?"
Yao Furong shook her head! She thought to herself, you are so young and beautiful, and you look a bit like my elder sister. What if I take you back and my brother-in-law falls in love with you? Wouldn't that just be a way to shoot my elder sister in the foot?
Yao Furong said, "Miss, my elder sister is kind-hearted. Just take the silver and go home!"
Seeing this, Jin Ling'er grabbed Qing He's skirt and started to cry...
Qing He hurriedly tried to comfort her: "Miss Jin, calm down. This is really not okay..."
Yao Furong also tried to persuade him, "That's right, being a maid is such a pain, it's not as good as living a peaceful and comfortable life back home!"
The three were arguing when they heard a man's voice behind them saying, "Mrs. Jiang?"
Qinghe turned around in surprise and found a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes standing in front of her. It was none other than Jingying's uncle Li Jian!
When Li Jian saw that it was Qing He, he hurried over and greeted her with great surprise, "How come you have time to come out for a stroll today, Madam?"
Seeing this, Jin Ling'er quickly let go of her hand and looked at Li Jian timidly, not daring to cry anymore.
Qing He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Jian: "I have nothing to do today, so I went out shopping with my sister and bought some silk thread, lining cloth and other things..."
As she spoke, she and Yao Furong walked forward, with Li Jian following closely behind.
Jin Ling'er looked at Qing He's receding back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart...
Although she looked three-quarters similar to the young lady, she was actually very different.
She stood up from the ground, brushed the dirt off her skirt, turned around and got into a carriage parked not far away.
