Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem
Chapter 538: The General's Mansion Madam and the Frontier God of War 40
“If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”
Yu Qingning closed his eyes silently.
When she saw the gate of Qiancheng, she saw many soldiers checking outside the city, one after another, very tightly.
"It seems they are trying to catch this woman." Hongying hit the nail on the head.
Yu Qingning looked at Jiang Mei, who was still lying there motionless, and said coldly: "If you wake up, crawl into the dark layer and hide by yourself, otherwise get off the car by yourself."
Jiang Mei had just woken up.
She originally wanted to pretend to be unconscious and secretly find out Yu Qingning's identity, but now that she heard Yu Qingning say this, she naturally couldn't pretend anymore. Her eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes slowly.
When the two maids saw her like this, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and they quickly became alert.
Fortunately, they didn't talk much along the way and didn't reveal their identities. Otherwise, wouldn't Jiang Mei have overheard everything?
When you go out, you really have to be on your guard.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life."
Yu Qingning lowered his eyelids slightly and said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, maybe I want the treasure too."
Jiang Mei's eyes were startled and her heart was filled with chills.
"If you really want the treasure, then I have no choice but to hand it over."
Yu Qingning raised her eyes and squinted at Jiang Mei. Her neither humble nor arrogant attitude was obviously filled with unwillingness and humiliation, but she had to bow her head and submit.
He is flexible and can bend and stretch. He is really a good candidate.
If he is trained well in the future, he will probably become a talented person.
"go in."
Yu Qingning pointed to the secret compartment in the carriage, under the chair on the side. It was big enough to accommodate an adult man. Even a delicate woman like Jiang Mei could still have plenty of space.
The carriage was also large enough and was designed for traveling.
Jiang Mei hid inside, not daring to make any sound, and maintained the same posture for a long time.
She heard the coachman talking to the city guard.
It seemed that they checked something and soon let the entire caravan go.
Jiang Mei held her breath, wondering if she had been betrayed, but soon moved away from the city by another route.
Half an hour later, she was released from the secret compartment.
Looking at the scene that was constantly retreating and the city being relocated, her eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you, sir."
Yu Qingning didn't say anything.
Jiang Mei bowed and said in a resounding voice: "I have no way to repay your great kindness. I am willing to serve you for three years!"
"I don't lack maids." Yu Qingning twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and reached out to touch Jiang Mei's neck.
Jiang Mei froze.
She wanted to struggle, but she didn't dare. Yu Qingning's people were everywhere. If something went wrong, she would surely die without a burial place.
What's more, Yu Qingning was her savior.
Just now she said that she wanted to repay Yu Qingning, how could she go back on her word!
But soon, Jiang Mei came back to her senses and felt the softness and delicacy of Yu Qingning's fingers. They were not men's hands at all. She was slightly startled and mustered up the courage to look at Yu Qingning's face.
The man's face was not outstanding, just average.
Afraid of being noticed, Jiang Mei quickly lowered her brows.
"hiss--"
The next moment, Jiang Mei took a breath and felt a pain in her neck. The jade pendant that their Jiang family had sworn to guard with all their might was pulled into Yu Qingning's hand.
Jiang Mei clenched her fingers, wanting to take it back.
Could it be that the savior in front of me is really here for the treasure?
But how did he know the secret of this jade pendant!
The people who had been chasing her these days were only looking for her to ask for the key to the treasure!
"Where did you get this jade pendant from?"
Jiang Mei bit her lip: "Do I have to tell you?"
"What do you think?" Yu Qingning found it a little funny.
Jiang Mei was silent for a while, then slowly said: "This is the treasure key that those people are looking for."
"It seems that there really is a treasure, and it's not just a rumor."
Jiang Mei raised her eyes and said boldly: "I don't know whether it exists or not, but this thing does not belong to our Jiang family. Instead, someone gave it to our Jiang family and ordered us to keep it for generations."
Yu Qingning's mind moved slightly.
Recalling something from his past life, he suddenly rummaged through the sachet around his waist.
She took out an object that she had found in the wood carving that time, and spread it in her palm to show Jiang Mei: "The person who asked you to guard the jade pendant, is his surname Geng?"
"How do you know?" Jiang Mei was shocked.
It seems that only the elders of the Jiang family know about this matter!
Yu Qingning's heart trembled, he took a deep breath and said, "Geng Nian?"
"Yes." Jiang Mei hesitated, then looked at the object in Yu Qingning's hand, and said solemnly: "Are you her child? But I remember it was a daughter."
Yu Qingning didn't explain, he just stared at Jiang Mei and asked, "What is the relationship between your Jiang family and Geng Nian?"
Jiang Mei was silent for a while, then said firmly: "We don't know the details either, we only know that my grandfather knew Geng Nian, and he was her attendant."
"Grandfather often said that without this benefactor, there would be no Jiang family. Everything in the Jiang family was given by the benefactor, and we must swear to protect her property until our death."
"The Jiang family was originally a family with no money, but later they relied on their benefactors to become the richest merchants in Qiancheng. The rumor about the treasure has only been spread recently, but we in the Jiang family are obviously loyal and good people."
"To this day I still don't understand where those rumors started!"
As Jiang Mei spoke, she thought of her relatives who had died in vain. Her tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string, and she looked even more pitiful.
Yu Qingning stroked the jade token with his fingers and said slowly: "You have said that your Jiang family is the richest merchant in Qiancheng. You must understand the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind."
Jiang Mei smiled bitterly: "Young Master is right. Even if we play it safe, there will still be people who want the big piece of fat meat of the Jiang family. But they think too simply. Even if we get those shops, what's the use? We have already transferred the money!"
"The Jiang family has this kind of backup plan?" Yu Qingning was a little surprised.
No wonder Jiang Mei was hunted here.
Jiang Mei nodded and said, "As early as three years ago, my family realized that the mayor of Qiancheng wanted to harm the Jiang family. My father secretly transferred money and grain to the northwest warehouse, but we never thought that these people would be so cruel and not let us survive."
"Even I had a hard time escaping. If I hadn't met you, I might have died long ago!"
"You are really loyal to your people." Yu Qingning sighed.
Jiang Mei shook her head. At first, she also thought that the treasure was the cause of the murder, but it took her a few days to realize that it was just an unknown excuse.
The people who wanted to kill them had no idea there was such a treasure.
What they are thinking about is the Jiang family’s own money.
"Young Master, you haven't told me what your relationship is with Geng Nian's benefactor?" Jiang Mei asked sincerely.
Yu Qingning weighed it with his fingers and said coldly, "As you expected, mother and daughter."
Jiang Mei was stunned for a moment, stared at Yu Qingning's face again, and immediately realized that these people were wearing human skin masks.
She kowtowed and said, "Jiang Mei greets the daughter of your benefactor. Please take this jade pendant. It can be regarded as returning it to its original owner!"
