The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince Chapter 30

Chapter 30 doesn't need icing on the cake

The corrupt official secretly built a treasure house underground in Taolin.

Later, the corrupt official and his family were killed, and the secret of the treasure house has never been known.

Zhuangzi went through several owners before Xie Zhang's mother bought it.

According to the description in the book, Xie Zhang accidentally discovered this astonishing wealth and used it to cultivate many people secretly.

 In other words, without the iron ore, this windfall will also be lost. Xie Zhang's future is full of variables. Anyway, it won't be as smooth as in the book.

"younger sister?"

 Outside the door, Du Qian's shout rang out.

Du Wan immediately responded happily, "Brother, I'm here."

Du Qian stepped into the quiet room and looked around first, "Didn't Pei Hao say he was looking for you? Why didn't he see anyone? The housekeeper came to report before, saying that he had sent a batch of food, and I asked the kitchen to be moved."

“Oh, he just left. Didn't eldest brother meet him?”

Du Wan felt that it shouldn't be the case. Pei Hao had not left for a while.

It was indeed a coincidence that the two of them were separated and did not meet each other.

Since he arrived, Du Qian didn't leave immediately. He lifted up his clothes and sat by the bookshelf, flipping through books and sipping tea.

Du Wan came up to him and said, "Brother, have you found out the source of the rumor?"

“The clues were lost halfway through the investigation, and the person was silenced.”

Du Qian sent people to investigate the rumors as soon as they started.

 His sister disappeared before. He was busy looking for someone and did not check in time. The tail was swept away, but some of the people who contributed to the trouble were found. But this time the rumors started again, and half of the people found died. It is not yet known whether the person who was killed was the one who spread the rumors in the first place.

After hearing this, Du Wan was helpless.

 It seems that the villain has to take action in this matter.

 She was extremely confident in Pei Hao's abilities.

“Who was the person who contributed to the flames last time?” Du Wan was a little curious.

Du Qian lost his temper, "What's the matter? You still want to take revenge."

 “This is necessary, hehe.”

“…” His sister really refused to suffer.

Du Qian thought for a moment and then said: "Su Yu, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's house, Wang Jin'er, the seventh girl of Nanyang Bo's house. Murong Jiaojiao, the second daughter of the Minister of Rites, and Xie Ying of Dingbeihou's house, are Xie Qi's biological sisters. …The last one is Chen Liu, the eldest son of Duke Chen's mansion.”

 Among a group of women, a man emerged...

Du Wan's eyes widened, “This Chen Liu is sick!”

“Oh, I'm sick. If I wasn't sick, I wouldn't have trouble with a little girl like you.”

 “How come I have an enmity with him?”

“He is Pei Hao's good friend, and he said he wanted to vent his anger on his friend.” Du Qian stopped talking.

Chen Liu is a dude. He listened to the rumors from the outside world and got involved in them out of anger.

Du Qian checked last time and couldn't find his sister's whereabouts. He was suffocating in his heart, so he put a big sack on Chen Liu. She is probably still lying at home now.

As for those women, they are not in the same circle as him and have not found a chance to retaliate.

Du Wan stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, "My eldest brother is the best to me."

"It's good to know. Press harder here." Du Qian was very helpful and pointed to the left side, asking her to click harder.

I pressed it for a while.

 Her hands were a little sore, so Du Wan quickly changed her mind and said, "Now that I have some free time, why don't you teach me how to read?"

 “Can you read?”

"Didn't I tell you? I have forgotten everything I learned before." Du Wan looked so matter-of-fact, making people funny and angry.

“It's done! Take this book and read it. If you encounter a word you don't understand, just ask.”

Du Qian found a book from the bookshelf and threw it to her.

Du Wan picked it up and flipped through it, "Oh, I don't know a single word in this book."

Du Qian:…

 There is nothing more to say.

 After a long while, he asked: "What words does my sister know?"

"At three o'clock in the morning, under the banyan tree in the east of the village, we will see each other." Du Wan blurted out.      …Poof.”

 The tea in his mouth almost spat out.

What secret did you hear?

In an instant, Du Wan touched her nose guiltily, "Hey, someone handed me a piece of paper on the way back, with this line written on it. I learned it after listening to Hu San read it once. You must be smart."

Du Qian asked with a black face: "Who is it?"

“I didn't know who it was at first, and I didn't go to the appointment. Later, Xie Zhang came up to me and said that after waiting for me all night, I would know who it was.”

When Du Qian heard this, he felt angry.

 What does the seventh child of the Xie family want to do?

 His little sister is just a child and she doesn't even know what she's doing.

Forget it about Pei Hao, at least he has a baby kiss with his sister. What kind of onion does Xie Qi count? Xie Qi is mostly responsible for the rumors about his sister in Beijing.

Now with the comparison with Xie Zhang, Du Qian was more pleased with Pei Hao.

So, with the feeling of an old father, Du Qian patiently warned: "Sister, please ignore Xie Qi from now on, you know? Most of the people who are famous and very good-looking are not good people."

“Hey, is there still such a thing?” Du Wan was surprised.

“Of course, I believe that my brother is right.”

 “Hmm,...but the eldest brother is also good-looking.”

Du Qian silently told himself not to be angry. He polished the ink and spread out the paper, "Sister, you must learn a hundred words today."

 “Huh? So many…”

　Du Wan felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

Suddenly, her eyes rolled again, "Brother, please teach me to read an article first. After I memorize it first, I can learn it word by word."

"OK."

Du Wan's recitation ability is excellent.

 A thousand-word article can be memorized after listening to it only three times.

 When Du Qian left, she copied it again in Chinese.

 Before dark, she had basically understood the words in the article.

　　Limited to word recognition, not writing.

 Two days later.

Pei Hao visited again and brought a land deed to Zhuangzi.

 The name of the owner on the deed is Du Wan.

Du Wan did not ask Pei Hao how he got it. As long as Zhuangzi was in her hands, it was enough. She didn't hesitate and said directly: "The hilltop I sold before had iron ore in it."

Pei Hao was really speechless after hearing this, "You are really..."

 Stupid!

 He is hopelessly stupid!

 What a treasure trove, but it was sold at a low price? !

Du Wan suddenly jumped up, "What is it? No one knew there was iron ore there at that time. If they knew, who would sell it? It's just a barren mountain, and someone wants to buy it-"

"Do you remember?" Pei Hao stared at her and asked.

Du Wan was stunned, "No."

 “Oh.” It turned out that he was overthinking.

Pei Hao now knew the whereabouts of the iron ore and was in a good mood.

However, he was still a little confused, "Princess, why did you tell me instead of telling your family?"

 “There are some things that family members cannot get involved in.”

“…” Can Pei Hao say that this poor girl's ideas are very strange?

There is nothing to fight for, it is also a great achievement to present it to the emperor.

Pei Hao couldn't understand Du Wan.

Du Wan knew that he had doubts, but she couldn't say anything.

Could it be that she knew what would happen in the future and didn't want her family to stand up as a target? Besides, the eldest princess's mansion and the Du family already have the power, so there is no need for icing on the cake.
