The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn Chapter 162

Chapter 162 Money Making Tools

 Northwest, military camp.

“My lord, as you said, this wanderer from the northwest is not hiding.”

 A general handed over the drawn map with a solemn expression.

“According to the spies' investigation, the northwest wanderers are gathering now, and it seems they want to give us a surprise victory.”

Xiao Shengyu held the map with his slender fingers and looked across the several marked points on it.

The three locations where the northwest wanderers are located will indeed make it difficult for them to defend themselves if they are attacked.

　　However, there are also things that can be used.

 “Su Ye.”

"exist!"

Su Ye clasped his fists and took a step forward.

"You led five hundred cavalry through Qingping Pass and cut off their food and grass supply."

"yes."

 “General Lin.”

  “The subordinate is here.”

"You lead a team of people from the other side, prepare an ambush in advance, and cooperate with Su Ye."

"yes."

 After arrangements were made, everyone in the camp dispersed.

Black Eagle came out of a corner and reported: "Lu Hong was promoted to censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and had contact with King Yu."

“Lu Hong and Xiao Jin? It's strange for these two people to be together.”

Xiao Shengyu fiddled with the sand table in front of him, his black eyes flashed and fell on a path.

“The reason has not yet been found out at Yuelou.”

“Continue to investigate. Lu Hong has just taken office and will not jeopardize his future. I think the reason for this will not be related to fame and fortune.”

　　Not for fame or gain, the only possibility is grudges.

Black Eagle understood, "I will reply to the letter right now."

 Liu family.

At the dinner table, Liu Jianglan sat next to Liu's mother and said happily: "Sister, the man I found for Qin'er is definitely better than that Xu Zhian. That man is good-looking and his family is rich. Although he is a little worse than the Xu family, But you also know that now that the Xu family is gone, it's useless to have so much money.”

“Xiaohua, is that person really as good as you say?”

Liu's mother was still a little scared when she thought of Xu Zhian. She looked at Liu's father and Liu He, who were her husband and son after all. Even if Liu Qin was detained in the house at that time, she couldn't say anything to blame now.

 Seeing Liu's mother's reaction, Liu Qin smiled bitterly.

 In mother's heart, maybe father and Liuhe are more important.

Liu Jianglan's expression changed slightly when she heard the word "Xiaohua", "Sister, I have told you so many times, from now on you call me Jiang Lan, don't call me Xiaohua, it will be unpleasant if others hear me."

Liu's mother looked at Liu Jianglan at a loss, "When I was in the village, I always shouted like this. I'm used to it."

"Sister, you said it was before. Now that we are in the capital, why are you calling me? Do you want to embarrass me? Remember, my name is not Liu Xiaohua now, but Liu Jianglan!"

Liu Jianglan repeatedly warned, what a little flower, how unpleasant it sounds!

 She is also from the capital now, so how could she be called such a name?

 “Okay, I remember.”

“Sister, you just need to remember it.” Liu Jianglan shook her head in disgust, “By the way, sister, don't forget to drink the new ginseng slices I sent you, it's good for your health.”

Hearing this, Liu Qin's expression changed.

Liu Mu responded, her expression looking happy.

 After all, it is normal for Mother Liu to be happy when her sister cares about her so much.

Liu Qin's heart was full of emotions. Did her aunt know that there was something wrong with the ginseng slices?

“Auntie, it's troublesome for you to buy and deliver it in person every time. Why don't you tell me where you bought it, and I'll give it to my mother in the future.”

Liu Jianglan's eyes flashed, and she waved her hands and said: "Oh, it's not a troublesome thing. That person is far away, and it will take you a while to find it, so why bother you. What's more, I know that person, and you go there. He might not be worried yet."

Normally, Liu Qin wouldn't think too much about it, but now Su Leyun's words kept rolling in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

She knows her aunt's character very well. Since she came to the capital, she has basically been supported by her own family and is unwilling to do any work.

Even though my mother was seriously ill several times, my aunt never came to visit her, but the delivery of ginseng tablets did go smoothly.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't feel right.

Liu Qin stared at Liu Jianglan closely, but she still didn't want to believe it in her heart, "Aunt, it's okay. Why don't you take me to meet that person next time and tell him?"

 “It's really not necessary, it's just something that comes easily to me anyway.”

Liu Jianglan's face was a bit stiff, as if she was guilty of committing a crime.

Liu Qin took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and asked: "Aunt, is it because you don't want me to trouble you, or did you do something to the ginseng slices?"

 “What are you talking about?”

Liu Jianglan's voice suddenly became high-pitched, as if she had been exposed as a treacherous plot.

Seeing this scene, Liu He glanced at Liu Qin without any trace, how could his sister become so smart?

Liu's mother saw her sister and daughter arguing and quickly advised her, "Qin'er, why are you talking to your aunt like that? Apologize to your aunt quickly."

"Mother!" Liu Qin looked at Liu Mu in disbelief, "Do you know that there is something wrong with the ginseng tea you drank?"

“Qin'er, stop talking nonsense.”

How could Mrs. Liu believe it?

 How could she believe that her sister wanted to harm her?

Seeing Mother Liu's expression, Liu Jianglan breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Qin'er, I know you don't want to get married, so my aunt won't tell you. How could you tell such a lie to frame your aunt?"

"I didn't! Aunt, it's obviously you..."

 “Sister, please stop making trouble.”

 Father Liu was no longer silent, and began to persuade: "If you don't want to get married, then wait."

 He looked at Liu Qin with a father's love in his eyes.

 But in Liu Qin's eyes, there was only a bone-chilling chill.

She suddenly realized that her marriage had long been a tool for Liu's father to make money. If she escaped this time, there would be another time.

 Moreover, no one in the family believed in her.

Liu Qin's eyes swept across the faces of Liu's father, Liu's mother, and Liu He, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

 She stood up suddenly, "I'm full!"

Not daring to stay, Liu Qin turned around and ran out quickly.

　　Until he entered the house, Liu Qin closed the door and fell to the ground along the door frame.

 She raised her hands, looked at her trembling fingers, and couldn't help but hug herself.

The scene of being detained in the house by Liu's father Liu He not long ago came to mind. For her family, she had been giving for the past twenty years, but what was she getting in exchange for it now?

 Her mother was seriously ill, so she stayed at the bedside all night, but when her mother woke up, she was still worried about Liu's father and Liu He.

 She gave all the money she earned to the Liu family, leaving nothing for herself.

 In the end, her father and brother still wanted to marry her off in order to get a generous betrothal gift.

The more Liu Qin thought about the past, the colder his heart became.

It turns out that she is just a money-making tool for the Liu family.
