I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Pinger immediately agreed happily, thanking Cui Tao for accompanying her.

"Then shall we leave as soon as possible?"

Ping'er didn't want to delay any longer. Originally, Mr. Mochizuki knew about her father's serious illness and never told her about it.Now it was because he decided to leave Bianjing, so he sent a letter to inform her with conscience.

At the end, Mr. Mochizuki did not forget to add a sentence at the end of the letter: In fact, a person like your father should die of illness alone.

Cui Tao asked Ping'er to go back to pack her things, then asked Wang Siniang to hire a car, and bought the special products of Kaifeng Mansion that she bought last time for her again.

Wang Siniang readily agreed, called Li Cai to help, and went together.

Cui Tao waited for everyone to leave, and then came to talk to Han Qi alone, and asked him for leave.

"Come and tell me after you've made a decision, asking for leave?" Han Qi didn't raise his eyes. There must be a lot of documents to be written in the case of Dizang Pavilion.

"It was prepared in advance in anticipation of Liu Lang's approval. If Liu Lang disagrees, I won't go now." Cui Tao's voice was obedient, whispering.

Han Qi chuckled, but still didn't raise his eyes, but speeded up the writing speed in his hand.

Seeing that the clear and meaningful Xiaokai was about to be finished, Cui Tao was not willing to ruin it this time.She was waiting by the side, and because she was bored, she pressed her hand on a stack of files on the table and tapped lightly.

"Since you've touched it, let's take a look." Han Qi said suddenly.

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, when he looked at Han Qi, he still didn't raise his eyes, but he didn't know if he had eyes on his forehead, so that he could see what she was doing.

Cui Tao picked up the dossier under her hands, wondering if Han Qi was really reluctant to let her go, so she wanted to arrange a case for her to investigate?

But when she opened the dossier to read, she found that it contained the list of personnel in each house of the Cui family and the situation of each person, and Cui Tao's nose suddenly felt a little sore.

The content is highly concise and the wording is accurate. For example, uncertain situations will be explained in rumors.

Cui Tao recognized the handwriting on the file at a glance, it was written by Han Qi himself.He is a high-achieving student who passed the No. 2 exam in the country, and he is so busy with his daily business that he always eats irregularly. He actually took the time to summarize the short people and things in these parents for her.

The most rare thing is that he thought of these things in advance, even when she didn't know when she should go home, he was already preparing for her.

This man is too good at poking people's hearts.

Cui Tao looked at the documents in his hand, turned his back and leaned lightly on the edge of the table.

Han Qi finally finished writing this document, then put down his pen, and looked at Cui Tao, who was still facing away from him.At this time, she was lowering her head, holding the file in her hand, she probably hadn't read the contents of the file yet.

Han Qi took a sip of tea.

Suddenly hearing a faint sobbing sound, Han Qi stopped his hands and hurriedly stood up to check Cui Tao's situation, and sure enough, she was weeping.

Han Qi was only stunned for a moment, then hurriedly wiped Cui Tao's tears with a handkerchief, and asked her what's wrong in a soft voice.

After Han Qi asked such a question, Cui Tao cried even harder.

Han Qi hurriedly took her into his arms, patted Cui Tao's back, silently waited for Cui Tao to finish crying, and his emotions were almost over, then he put his hand on her chin, looked at her little face covered with tears, Wipe her gently with a handkerchief.

"I know you don't want me anymore, so don't cry anymore."

Cui Tao pursed her lips, and finally couldn't hold back her tears, and denied it: "Who said I cried because I couldn't bear you!"

"Could it be that you want to trick me into hugging you? Next time, just say it, and give it if you don't cry."

Cui Tao was so amused by his words that he couldn't help laughing again, and was so angry that he patted Han Qi's shoulder with his hand, of course not really hard.

"I can't see it, Liu Lang still has such a cheeky time."

"If you cry a few more times, it will be thicker than the city wall, so for the sake of your husband's appearance, don't cry."

"Where is your husband? Who said you are a husband?" Cui Tao couldn't help laughing again.

"Look, it really got thicker." Han Qi sighed.

"You are so bad!"

Cui Tao smiled and threw herself into Han Qi's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist to reassure him.

"I'll go back as soon as I go, and it won't be too long."

"You have three days off every month. Although this month is not over, you can count it first, and then you can advance the payment for the next month. There are six days in total." Han Qi said this in a very businesslike tone.

Cui Tao immediately let go of Han Qi's hand, raised her head in surprise and asked him, "So, I only have six days at most to go out this time?"

Han Qi: "You are now an official of the Kaifeng government, the public is the public, and you must not favoritism."

Cui Tao pursed her lips, pulled the veil from Han Qi's hand, and wiped her face while sighing with emotion: "I cried for nothing, I knew I wouldn't cry, I thought I was special, and Liu Lang would make an exception for me."

Han Qi said nothing.

Don't worry about it, but this matter can't be broken, six days seems to be the limit.

Just when Han Qi thought that Cui Tao was angry and was thinking about how he should deal with it, suddenly someone hugged him from behind, the kind of hug that jumped high and then jumped down from above.

Han Qi was startled, and his body swayed, but he was still able to hold on.

"My lord is so reluctant to part with me, just tell me."

Cui Tao lay on Han Qi's back, put his arms around his neck, and put his mouth so close that he almost bit Han Qi's ear.

Han Qi's face suddenly became hot, but luckily his skin was fair but not red, otherwise his whole face would be as red as the sandalwood table at this moment.

"Come down." After a while, Han Qi said hoarsely.

"No way!"

Cui Tao hugged Han Qi tightly, and deliberately wiped Han Qi's earlobe with her lips before jumping off.

Han Qi stood there for a long time without moving, and naturally he did not turn around.

Cui Tao held the case file and approached Han Qi, tilting her head to look at him, "Do you have anything else to say, Liu Lang? If it's all right, then I'll take my leave first, and we'll see you in six days."

Cui Tao waited for a while, only to see Han Qi staring at her quietly with his black eyes, without speaking.Cui Tao pursed her lips, turned around and left.

Sure enough, she was grabbed.

This time it was Han Qi who hugged Cui Tao from behind.

If you say that being tall really has an advantage, he can easily embrace her from top to bottom without jumping, and can wrap her almost like a cocoon.It's still the familiar cold sandalwood scent, but accompanied by a strong masculine scent, it seems to be engulfing the mission in a straight line.

"Don't be brave." The voice became hoarse, but it was particularly magnetic and pleasant.

Cui Tao: "Well, don't be brave."

She has always been the strongest, so she can't be called brave.

Han Qi turned Cui Tao's body around, and gently smoothed the fallen hair on Cui Tao's forehead with his slender fingers like jade, before telling her that she could leave.

"Take care of yourself."

Cui Tao smiled and agreed, and then patted the file in her arms, "Thank you Liulang for writing this for me, I am very happy and touched."

Traveling through too many worlds quickly can easily make people feel numb. Cui Tao doesn't want to live like a zombie, and even more doesn't want Han Qi to feel what a girl of her age should have because of her old heart.

She was really moved, she could not cry, but she wanted to cry for him.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

……

From Bianjing to Shenzhou, if you hurry up, the carriage will arrive in one day.

Cui Tao, Ping'er, and Wang Siniang set off late, and it was already late at night when they arrived in Anping.Because Pinger's father was seriously ill, the three rushed to Pinger's house first.

During this journey, Ping'er was not in a high mood and didn't say much.Cui Tao and Wang Siniang didn't ask any more questions, and hurried on their way according to Ping'er's guidance.

"We'll be there soon, just past this village." Ping'er pointed to the light that seemed to be halfway up the mountain in the distance, and told Wang Siniang and Cui Tao that it was her home.

Wang Siniang was overjoyed, and said to Cui Tao, "Why is her house on the mountain? Could it be a hunter? Or a Taoist temple, a Buddhist temple or something like that!"

"There may be a surprise." Cui Tao took a bite of the apricot cheese. The almond flavor was strong, and it was crispy and sweet, which is very suitable for eating when the car is tired.

Cui Tao only took a small handful, and gave the rest of the big bag to Wang Siniang, so she can use it as she pleases.

Wang Siniang handed it to Ping'er first, but Ping'er only took two yuan to eat.

"You all don't want to eat, do you? Then I'm not polite!" Wang Siniang then rudely wanted to finish the rest.

Then they passed a village, and now everyone in the village was resting, only a few houses with lights on.But when the carriage passed by the road in the middle of the village, it was inevitable that there would be some rutting noises, so many people turned on their lights, and then someone ran out with a lantern and asked who it was.

Ping'er immediately said, "It's me."

The villagers who asked the question took a look at the lanterns, recognized Pinger's face clearly, and shouted in surprise: "Ms. Ping is back!"

Then all the people in the village came out and crowded around, asking how Pinger was doing in recent years, and lamenting that the old village owner was seriously ill, how tragic the situation is now, she should have come back long ago.

After dealing with a few people in embarrassment, Ping'er urged Wang Siniang to hurry up, and then sent everyone to go to bed with a perfunctory smile.

"I'm going home now, don't worry."

All the old and young in the village nodded, and many people told Ping'er to say something to make her be more tolerant of her father.

The carriage went forward for a while, and there was a huge stone standing on the side of the road, with four large characters engraved on the stone: Wumei Villa.

Going forward, you can hear the sound of water, which seems to be a small waterfall in the mountain stream.Because the moon is now small and the night is dark, the scenery on the other side of the road cannot be seen clearly, but I can feel that the scenery is very good.

The car walked straight up the slope for a while, and then saw a tall door ahead. The number of six lanterns hanging on the door was enough to show how grand this door was.

Wang Siniang opened her mouth wide in surprise, she didn't expect that Ping'er came from such a wealthy family.

Cui Tao had expected that Ping'er's background was good, and she could more or less guess it from some of her conversations.

Before the carriage stopped at the door, someone opened the door, and a young man in coarse clothes came out with a knife in his hand.Like the people in the village, he first asked who was coming, and after recognizing Ping'er, he hurriedly called 'Ms. Ping', feeling happily that she had finally returned.

Then, the servant called Laiwang took over the carriage.Pinger took Cui Tao and Wang Siniang into the villa.

Zhuangzi is so huge that red lanterns are hung everywhere, almost illuminating Zhuangzi like daytime.Only then did Wang Siniang suddenly understand that the lights that could be seen from such a distance at that time could not be a small hunter's house or some small Taoist temple, there must be so much light.

"Wow, this house is so grand, it's about to catch up with Kaifeng mansion?" Wang Siniang sighed, then lowered her head and marveled again, "Oh, are we walking on the bridge, there is water below, there are lotus flowers! There are red flowers. carp!"

From the time they entered the gate, they had been walking on a level without going uphill. A pond was obviously dug down in this place, and there was a wide stone road leading to it, with stone railings on both sides of the road.It can be seen that the construction of this pattern has taken a lot of thought, and must have spent a lot of money to hire skilled craftsmen.

"I really can't see that your family is so rich. Do you think you usually pretend to be poor?"

"When I left home, I didn't take any money." Ping'er argued.

At this time, an old man with a half-white beard came running in a hurry. When he saw Ping'er, he burst into tears.

"Miss Ping, you are finally back. The owner is seriously ill and seems to be dying!"

This old man is Hong Shun, the housekeeper, nearly fifty years old, he walks like the wind, his body is very good, and he should know martial arts.In fact, it's not just the housekeeper, the servant who opened the door just now and the people in the village below the mountain should know some martial arts.So everyone has good hearing and has the vigilance of a warrior.

Hong Shun hurriedly led Ping'er to the main house to meet the owner, but before entering the house, he questioned the identities of Cui Tao and Wang Siniang.

"These are all sisters of my past life. If you guard against them, I won't enter. If Mrs. Cui is good at medicine, she might be able to cure his illness." Ping'er explained.

When Hong Shun heard this, he apologized again and again, and hurriedly invited Cui Tao and Wang Siniang to come in as well.

After Cui Tao entered the room, she thought that she would inevitably smell the smell of medicine in the patient's room, but she didn't expect that she didn't smell any medicine, but smelled a lot of powder.

Entering the back room, I saw a middle-aged man lying on the couch, occasionally humming a few times, because the curtain on the bed was lowered, it was hard to see his situation clearly.Beside the bed were two women in pink, who seemed to be asleep and hadn't woken up yet.On the arhat couch facing the window over there, there were two women in green clothes lying half-lying and huddled together.Looking at the appearance of these four women, they should be young, about the same age as Ping'er.

Seeing this scene, Wang Siniang thought these four were maidservants, and lamented that there were no rules.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, Hong Shun respectfully called them 23, 25, 29, and [-].

"My God, you have so many sisters, and they are all about the same age as you? Then you are in the second and thirties?" Wang Siniang exclaimed.

Cui Tao also looked at Ping'er.

Ping'er frowned fiercely, and said angrily, "Number one!"

Wang Siniang suddenly understood but didn't understand: "Oh, you are an aunt, then how did your father manage to—" How did you manage to make it possible for your daughters to be thirty and they are all about the same age?Hey, how many women were sown and conceived at the same time?

"Couldn't be sisters." Cui Tao pondered, "That's why you are called Mrs. Ping alone? Are you your father's only daughter?"

Ping'er sighed helplessly: "Miss Cui is really smart, my father only has me as a daughter, so naturally there is no need to talk about the ranking, if it is, it seems to be the same as them!"

Only now did Wang Siniang fully understand that these women are all concubines of Ping'er's father?Although her guess at the beginning was somewhat different from the reality, the essence was still correct, and she had planted a lot of women.

Wang Siniang couldn't help but nodded in admiration, and said in a low voice that Ping'er's father is really powerful, "Thirty!"

Ping'er snorted coldly: "This is where you are. Every three years, I don't know how much you have traveled, and you have to re-rank."

The concubines in the Song Dynasty belonged to the "lease" system. The period for buying a concubine was three years, and after three years, they would be released back to the free body.If the concubine has children, she can be turned into a maidservant, or called a foster mother or adopted daughter. In this case, she must wait another seven years before she can regain her freedom.As for whether the master will keep her after she regains her freedom, and whether the concubine wants to stay, that's another matter.In short, the law stipulates that there is a period of three years without a concubine.

As a result, many attractive women from foreign races or from poor families are willing to rent themselves out as concubines, save a dowry for themselves during the three-year period, and take the dowry after the deadline, and then marry.This way of raising concubines is almost no burden for wealthy families and scholar-bureaucrats, and for women who are concubines, three years of selling their beauty is not too long, because the supply and supply markets are expanding at the same time, and concubinage is very convenient. It has become a common practice.

But three, four, five concubines are common, the number is as high as thirty, and it is not a cumulative number, which is really shocking.

"Wow--"

Wang Siniang was so shocked that she didn't know what to sigh. It seemed that there was no word in this world that could accurately describe Ping'er's father's... strength.

Cui Tao was also quite surprised, but really wanted to ask Ping'er's father if he had any good prescriptions for invigorating the kidneys.If this is dedicated to the Great Song Emperor, perhaps the Great Song Emperor will have more heirs.

"You are the only daughter, how many brothers do you have?" Cui Tao asked Ping'er.

"No, I'm an only daughter."

When Ping'er said this, the housekeeper had already woken up the four ladies and closed the curtains on the bed.Ping'er took the lead in going over to check on her father's situation.

Wang Siniang couldn't help but moved closer to Cui Tao's side, muttering in a low voice: "I thought it was a golden gun, but I didn't expect it to be a fake weapon that looks fancy but doesn't work."

Cui Tao pinches Wang Siniang, signaling her to shut up.Wang Siniang immediately grabbed her lips with her hands, introspecting that she would stop talking nonsense.

Cui Tao can finally see the person on the bed clearly now. She looks 36 and seven years old, with black hair and no signs of age on her face. She should be considered handsome when her facial features are upright, but at this moment, her mouth is crooked and her eyes are slanting, and her whole body is paralyzed. Difficulty moving, like a stroke.

When the man on the bed squinted his eyes and saw Ping'er, he whimpered and got emotional.

Seeing him like this, Ping'er walked up to him, and said in a neutral voice: "I heard that you are ill, I will come back to see you, and see you at your death."

Hearing this, the man became more emotional.

After the four concubines were woken up by the housekeeper Hong Shun, they gathered together to look at Ping'er.They were all bought into the Wumei Villa as concubines in the past two years. To Ping'er, they only heard their names, but they didn't know what they looked like.

23 When Niang heard Ping'er's words, she couldn't help but said, "Oh, why did Mrs. Ping say such things just after she came back? The doctor can say it, the owner of the villa can't get angry, or the situation will get worse."

The other three of them agreed one after another, and all advised Ping'er to be more careful with what she said, and not to provoke the owner.

Cui Tao unexpectedly discovered that these four concubines seemed to be sincere in their concern for Ping'er's father's condition, which made Cui Tao a little curious about the owner of Wumei Villa.

Cui Tao spread the silk handkerchief on his wrist and began to check his pulse.

Seeing this, Hong Shun stretched out his hand subconsciously, and then seeing Pinger looking at him, he quickly shrank back, and shut up strangely.

Wei Wuyuan who was lying on the bed rolled his eyes wildly, he might feel very inexplicable about Cui Tao's actions, but he couldn't speak, he couldn't move, he couldn't resist.

"Stroke." Cui Tao explained simply, and pulled out a longer silver needle.

"Yes, yes, the fifteen doctors we invited also said the same thing." Hong Shun agreed.

"How did you get sick?" Cui Tao asked.

Hong Shun froze for a moment, faltering and hawing, unable to speak.

At this time, 24 Niang and the others also bowed their heads guilty, as if they had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Wang Siniang blurted out and asked, "Could it be that the wind is blowing right away?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, and the heads of Hong Shun, 24 Niang and others were drooped.

Wang Siniang snorted, and was about to laugh, but immediately stopped back when Cui Tao gave her a look.

Wei Wuyuan also seemed to feel embarrassed, and now he simply closed his eyes, not looking at anyone, so he didn't feel ashamed.

Immediately, he felt a pain in his head and let out a scream.

"Master!"

"Daddy?"

The four concubines were very worried when they saw Cui Tao pricking the acupuncture points with such a big silver needle, but they didn't dare to talk to her or Ping'er.They could only ask Hong Shun, the housekeeper who they were familiar with, who Cui Tao was and whether he was reliable.

The butler didn't know either, he hesitated.

"Everyone go out." Cui Tao was concentrating on administering the needles, her ears and eyes were particularly sharp, and she was unavoidably disgusted by the sounds around her.

Ping'er immediately called the housekeeper and sent them all out.

Early the next morning, Cui Tao came out of the room covered in sweat, while Ping'er and Wang Siniang fell asleep lying on the table outside.

Ping'er was the first to wake up when she heard the noise, and quickly got up and rushed over to ask Cui Tao how she was doing.

Cui Tao asked Ping'er if she wanted a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, but she didn't bother to say anything, and motioned for her to go in and see for herself.

Pinger rushed into the back room——

Wei Wuyuan sat on the head of the bed, when he heard Pinger's footsteps, he turned his head to look at Pinger.His mouth and eyes were no longer as crooked as before, tears streaming down his face, his lips trembled for a while before he called out 'Ping'er'.

Ping'er had entered the room with tears in her eyes, as if her father had died in mourning.She thought that Cui Tao had been busy all night, and she didn't say anything to mean that it was hopeless, but seeing that Wei Wuyuan was much better, she suddenly wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and gave him a disgusted look.

"So you're not dead."

Hearing this, Wei Wuyuan coughed twice angrily, "You—you unfilial daughter, you just hope for my death?"

"I came back to die for you." Ping'er's eyes were still red, and then she sat down with a reluctant expression.

"You seem to have changed." Wei Wuyuan suddenly said, "You didn't talk like this before."

"Everyone changes. You haven't seen me for two years." Ping'er explained.

"Hmph, that Chou family encouraged you to run away with her to take revenge on me. Do you know that you were used by her? That Aunt Chou took you away to take revenge on me!"

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, then shocked, and then smiled helplessly, "You and I are the master...you can do it!"

Wei Wuyuan was angry with Ping'er's attitude, but it was rare for his daughter to come back to see him from outside. He knew that although she had a bad mouth, she still had a kind heart, and she cared about him, so she didn't care about Ping'er.

"Those two are your friends? That Mrs. Cui is very skilled in medicine. I have been suffering from this problem for half a month. I thought I was going to go into the soil like this without moving. Thanks to you for bringing her back."

"But I didn't bring her here on purpose, she just came here on the way because she was going home too. But you are really lucky, the disaster has been around for thousands of years." Ping'er agreed.

"Can you talk nicely? I'm your father!"

Wei Wuyuan was so angry that he raised his inconvenient arm, and then slowly put it down.

"Is your friend going home by the way? So her house is also here?" Wei Wuyuan tried to change the subject again.

Ping'er reluctantly told Wei Wuyuan about Cui Tao's situation.

"It turns out that he is Cui Zhizhou's youngest daughter, Cui Qiniang!" Wei Wuyuan gradually narrowed his eyes.

"How do you know that I'm the seventh in Cui's family? Ping'er didn't tell you just now." Cui Tao stood at the door holding a bowl of medicine and questioned Wei Wuyuan.

Wei Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, then he looked Cui Tao up and down again, "No wonder I looked familiar at first, it turned out to be you."

When Ping'er heard this, she knew there was a story in it.She almost forgot that her father was also a very easy-going figure in the arena, otherwise he would not be able to earn such a large family fortune.

"My father was nicknamed 'A Good Man with a Thousand Faces' by someone in the Jianghu."

Pinger then explained the origin of the nickname to Cui Tao in detail.It means that no matter what troubles her father encounters, he can make up the matter, and many disputes in the world were resolved because of her father's participation.So there will be many Jianghu people who are in trouble, and will pay a lot of money to ask his father to be a lobbyist.

"Of course this kung fu is also used on women. Don't look at those women who are bought by my father with money from his lust. They won't live for a long time, and they will be treated kindly by my father."

"This ability is amazing." Cui Tao sincerely expressed his admiration.

"Except for one woman, that is Ping'er's mother." Wei Wuyuan sighed suddenly, "After giving birth to Ping'er, she left a letter and ran away with other men!"

Cui Tao looked at Ping'er gossipingly.

Pinger: "My mother's name is Mei."

Cui Tao understood a little bit, no wonder she saw that there were plum trees in this villa, but it was called Wumei Villa.It turns out that 'Wumei' means this. Wei Wuyuan's move sounds like infatuation at first glance, but seeing his profligate behavior, you can know how much infatuation he actually has.This should be a kind of unwillingness. He has always played with women in the palm of his hand, but a woman ran away after playing with him. Naturally, he will "think about it" for the rest of his life.

"Don't be fooled by him, when my mother was here, he had seven concubines. If not, my mother wouldn't have run away!" Ping'er exposed.

Cui Tao nodded, and it was exactly as she had guessed.

But right now she is not in the mood to pay attention to other things, she is more concerned about the reason why Ting Wei Wuyuan knew her.

"Ms. Cui, do you know Di Zang Pavilion? Do you still remember that you were kidnapped during the Cold Food Festival three years ago?"

Wei Wuyuan's question made Cui Tao and Ping'er refreshed.

Ping'er told Wei Wuyuan about Cui Tao's amnesia, and told Wei Wuyuan to tell him what he knew.

"This..." Wei Wuyuan wondered, "I took the money, and those two people are my guests. I, Wei Wuyuan, keep my word and never talk about the private affairs of the guests. thing."

"You—" Ping'er stood up abruptly, so angry that she wanted to beat Wei Wuyuan.

But Cui Tao stopped Ping'er, smiled calmly, and showed a silver needle: "I will restore the previous sickness to the senior, so that the senior will not have to embarrass him for breaking the rules, nor do he have to embarrass him about how to repay me for saving his life gone."

Ping'er was so angry that she echoed Cui Tao: "Yes! Hit him!"

"Don't, don't, I mean it should be like this under normal circumstances. Mrs. Cui saved my life, and she is Pinger's best friend, I should tell you!" Wei Wuyuan hurriedly explained with a smile, compared to half-dead, the rules are natural is not important.

Wei Wuyuan then slowly told the story.

Three years ago, on the evening of the Cold Food Festival, two women came to Wumei Villa to look for Wei Wuyuan with a sack filled with people.

The two women were both masked, and they had been arguing all the time, even when they entered the villa. During the tugging process, the seal of the sack was opened, and Wei Wuyuan happened to take a look at Cui Tao's face.Wei Wuyuan has always studied women, no matter how beautiful or ugly he is, he will never forget them, not to mention Cui Tao is beautiful, so he can remember Cui Tao with just one glance.

The two women came to Wei Wuyuan naturally, just like other Jianghu people, let Wei Wuyuan resolve their conflicts, and finally made a unified choice.

Both women were near middle age, one of them called the other Jiaogu, and Jiaogu called the other Yanzi back.The point of contention between the two was whether Cui Tao should be kept alive.Jiaogu recognizes Cui Tao's looks and wants to keep her as a lesson for future use.Yanzi thinks that Cui Tao is troublesome and should be killed so that no future troubles will be left.

"Then what happened later?" Ping'er found that the situation was similar to what Cui Tao had speculated before, and the hairs all over her body stood on end, urging Wei Wuyuan to speak quickly.

"Afterwards, I naturally found out that Jiaogu was more powerful and decisive through inquiry. That Yanzi was just a strong outsider, so I naturally chose to side with Jiaogu to persuade Yanzi to keep Mrs. Cui willingly. life."

When Wei Wuyuan said this, he couldn't help but glance at Cui Tao, feeling that he had saved Cui Tao's life by accident.

Cui Tao corrected mercilessly: "You are not here to save my life, you are here to make a business and earn money, how do you make money?"

"Bah!" Ping'er spat, imitating Wang Siniang's posture.

Wei Wuyuan shook his fingers and pointed at Ping'er in amazement: "You scoundrel, who did you learn these bastard habits from! Back then, I asked so many teachers to teach you how to read and understand, but you have learned to be like this, you—— "

Ping'er pinched her waist, didn't care about Wei Wuyuan's accusation at all, and only gave Wei Wuyuan a supercilious look.In fact, this was the first time she spat at someone, but I finally understood why Wang Siniang was usually so rude, so cool!

"After the business was completed, the two of them left. Later, I learned that Cui Zhizhou's young daughter happened to run away from home that day. Last year, I learned from a friend in the rivers and lakes that there was a young girl in Dizang Pavilion who was the most beautiful. Good at training women, that friend said he would buy one from her as a gift for me.

Although Jianghu is big, there will definitely not be another person who is called Jiaogu and teaches young girls.Because both Jiaogu and Yanzi mentioned the same master, I deduced from this that the two people who robbed Lady Cui came from Dizang Pavilion. "

"Can you still get in touch with that friend?" Cui Tao asked.

"He travels all over the world, so it's not very easy to contact, but for Mrs. Cui, I'll give it a try." Wei Wuyuan agreed.

Ping Ting suddenly burst into tears.

Both Cui Tao and Wei Wuyuan wondered why she suddenly cried.

"You used to be so close to me. I could save you, but I didn't. What was I doing during the Cold Food Festival three years ago? I seemed to go out to climb a mountain. Because I don't like staying at home, watching my father and those Yingyingyanyan." Ping'er's eyes turned red from crying, she pursed her lips in grievance, and apologized to Cui Tao.

Wei Wuyuan looked at this scene in amazement, "It's not wrong for you to cry and groan, but I have raised you for so many years, why have I never seen you respect me like this?"

"Because you're not worth it!" Ping'er yelled angrily, although she yelled, but not too loudly.

"Since you're back, take over the family business. I'm afraid I won't be able to last long." Wei Wuyuan sighed, as if he was about to die.

Seeing this, Ping'er was stunned, and couldn't help feeling soft-hearted.

"How long does Master Wei want to survive? I can help." Cui Tao raised the silver needle in his hand again, "Unfortunately, after my treatment, if there is no accident, Master Wei seems to be able to live for a long time. "

"Don't, don't, I mean you're afraid of accidents." Wei Wuyuan immediately changed his attitude.

"You have to admit it when you are old, don't play to stimulate your body, you won't be like this. You have a strange body, and you are worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. After so many years of tossing, you only have a shallow kidney deficiency, which is already very good. Don't worry about it in the future. It's dead, subtract ten from thirty." Cui Tao gave the doctor's order.

Ping'er frowned when she heard this, and looked at Cui Tao with something to say, and finally grabbed her skirt with her hands and chose to remain silent.

"Okay," Wei Wuyuan obediently agreed, "I'll send ten of them away."

Cui Tao was surprised: "You don't know how to count?"

"Don't you subtract ten from thirty?" Wei Wuyuan silently counted twice, and didn't feel that he had made a mistake in his calculation.

Cui Tao picked up the writing brush that was originally written on the table, wrote the word thirty on the paper, then crossed out the ten, and asked Wei Wuyuan what was left.

Wei Wuyuan's eyes widened in shock: "Three? Just three? Is that the reduction?"

"Isn't it?" Cui Tao looked at Ping'er innocently, and asked her, "Did I lose weight just now?"

"Yes, it's all reduced like this. Madam Cui made it very clear." Ping'er scolded Wei Wuyuan and said, "Didn't you always keep your promises, and you simply agreed to this just now."

Wei Wuyuan pursed his lips, thought over and over again, but still felt that it was too difficult, "Thirty will only keep three, it's hard to decide who to keep."

"Since it's so difficult, don't keep any of them. A daughter should share her father's worries, you know?" Cui Tao said to Ping'er.

Ping'er repeatedly agreed with you, and shouted to Hong Shun, the housekeeper who was waiting outside: "You have heard it all, and we will do as Master Wei wants!"

Hong Shun agreed, and hurried over here.

"Eh, eh?!" Wei Wuyuan was so excited that he wanted to get up and call Hong Shun to stop, but his legs were not very good.

Cui Tao suddenly remembered something, and drew a pair of eyes for Wei Wuyuan.

When Wei Wuyuan saw it, he hurriedly said: "Like, very much like the woman named Yanzi who robbed you back then, she has such a pair of eyes, double eyelids, and the corners of her eyes are hanging."

"What are these eyes?" Ping'er suddenly had an impression, "Like the woman in black who asked Mrs. Cui to meet at the Town God's Temple!"

The matter is becoming clearer and clearer, and the previous deliberations are being confirmed by the emergence of relevant evidence.

After Cui Tao took a bath, she simply tidied up before going to Cui's house.Before that, she had already asked Hong Shun to send someone to send a letter to Cui's house to let her know in advance, and she still had to have the proper etiquette.

"I'll go with you." Ping'er hurriedly said, "Anyway, he can't die."

Wang Siniang has also finished taking care of things at this moment, so she came over and told Cui Tao that she could leave.

"The front door, the side door, the corner door, or the back door?" After the carriage entered Anping, Wang Siniang found out where the Cui family was, and asked Cui Tao which way to choose.

Cui Tao smiled: "A shameful daughter like me should go the right way when she comes back."
