A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

It's not that I don't trust Xiao Cong, but I think he is the kind of person who will be abandoned after his exploits are over.

But Yunling is used to preparing for a rainy day.

Many times, it is better to keep a few means to save your life than to wait until people's hearts change and there is no way out.

Zhou Qiong tapped her upturned nose, "Okay, this is our family's secret, don't tell him. If everything goes well, it will be your way to make money in the future. If things go wrong, it will be another foundation for our family to make a living. What do you think?"

"I think that's good."

She held her chin high, extremely proud.

"Yes, you are the most powerful Marquis' wife. From now on, when the younger generations of my Zhou family mention you, they will always say, 'my great grandmother.'"

Listening to Zhou Qiong's teasing, Yun Ling couldn't help but blush, "I don't know who you learned this from, why are you so slick now? I want to return it!"

Where has that arrogant, cold and sarcastic young man gone?

This turns out to be a stuffy one.

Can I return the product?

"You are the most powerful merchant in Dongrui. Don't you know that once the goods are sold, they cannot be returned or exchanged?"

Yunling: "..."

The two of them laughed and joked, and soon arrived in front of the Tang family's house.

Zhou Qiong personally helped Yun Ling get off the carriage and accompanied her into the Tang family's house.

"Since you are here, you must greet grandpa and grandma before leaving. Otherwise, wouldn't that be against the rules?"

Yun Ling raised her eyes to look at the sky and said, "If you delay, you will miss dinner."

Zhou Qiong raised an eyebrow, "Your family doesn't provide meals for the future son-in-law?"

Yun Ling wanted to roll her eyes, but Lao Qi at the door just chuckled.

Zhou Qiong immediately asked: "Lao Qi, do you think I am right?"

Then he added, "Someone sent several jars of aged wine to my house yesterday. I don't know who to give them to. I wonder if the old master likes them?"

Old Qi grinned, "Our old man's favorite thing is aged wine. The Marquis is really filial."

A few people came in talking and laughing.

After entering the house, Yunling went to the backyard to change clothes first.

In order to attend the banquet today, she dressed very formally. Her clothes were complicated and heavy. Even the jewelry on her head was expensive and heavy. She was so tired that her scalp was numb. She had to change quickly and have dinner comfortably.

After Yunling's back disappeared, Lao Qi led Zhou Qiong to the old man's study.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly turned a corner and led Zhou Qiong to the small bamboo forest behind the old man's study.

Zhou Qiong was not anxious when he saw that he had taken the wrong path. Instead, he followed him to a clump of green bamboo and asked, "Old Qi, do you have anything to ask me?"

Lao Qi nodded.

The joy from just now was no longer on his face, only sadness and grief.

"In my early years, I experienced a disaster. My whole family was killed by thieves and died. I fought hard to kill the enemy, but I was also seriously injured and almost died on the road."

"It was the old man who was kind enough to save me and let me live again. I didn't have the courage to commit suicide. I thought that since I had taken revenge, I would follow the old man and help him with some work to repay his life-saving grace. I would go down to be with my family after a hundred years. But I never thought..."

Lao Qi closed his eyes in pain. "That day, the eldest lady encountered a night attack. The martial arts style of the leader was exactly the same as the one who killed my whole family that year... Lord, I want to know, is this person from the Liu family?"

Zhou Qiong nodded, "It's the Liu family. I think you should know that Ling'er has never made enemies with anyone in Ruidu, and after she gets engaged to me, the only people who will harm her will be the Liu family."

"Are you doubting that you haven't found the real murderer?"

Lao Qi did not answer but asked, "Today I want to confirm whether that person's martial arts style was taught by a special family or from a certain sect?"

Zhou Qiong looked at Lao Qi and said solemnly, "I am not sure about the martial arts of the other people, as they are a bit mixed. But I am sure about the martial arts of the leader, which is a unique skill that the Liu family let their servants learn, and only their trusted followers are qualified to learn it."

Lao Qi closed his eyes in pain, "My Lord, please go to the study to find the old master. I want to be alone."

Zhou Qiong reached out and patted his shoulder, wanting to comfort him, but didn't know where to start.

He understood Lao Qi’s despair.

I thought I had achieved my revenge and had lived a peaceful life for many years, but to my surprise, the real murderer has not been found yet.

"Old Qi, don't worry. If the Liu family is really responsible for the tragedy that befell your family, Ling'er and I will help you get it back."

Zhou Qiong walked away slowly.

After he left, a gust of wind blew towards the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

Lao Qi clenched his fists and his eyes were red.

When his memory went back to many years ago, many details that he had overlooked were entangled together again. Suddenly, he seemed to be enlightened by a fairy, and he figured out all the key points.

He had a good life when he was young, and compared to those poor people, his background was not bad.

He was born in a mountain village in northern Yan and was the son of the village chief.

Of course, the mountain stronghold is not a wealthy family, but they are not a den of bandits either. Yanbei is located on the border, and the people are tough. In order to survive, many local people gathered in several mountains on their own and gradually formed a mountain stronghold.

And because their family was particularly good at making mechanical furniture and the like, and the family members had enough knowledge, they were promoted to become the village leader.

They led the villagers to make a living by doing carpentry and machinery work. Because of their exquisite skills, they were often bought by caravans and sold. Therefore, the villagers lived a relatively rich life and had no worries about food and clothing. The village also became more and more prosperous.

But even though they had a large number of people, they had never done anything unethical like occupying a mountain and becoming the king.

But things did not always go as planned. One day, a wealthy businessman came to the village and said he wanted to buy heart-piercing arrows.

The moment the piercing arrow hits the prey, the three sharp blades inside will explode, causing great lethality.

When this thing was developed, the original intention was to prevent prey from having a chance to escape. But after it was developed, my father felt that this thing was too powerful and was afraid that it would bring disaster, so he ordered people to destroy it and not make it again.

It was not until the merchant came to my father's door that he realized that the items had not been destroyed, but had been secretly taken down the mountain by his confidants to show off.

My father immediately rejected the big businessman and said bluntly that if this thing accidentally hits a person, the power would be extremely great and only one in ten people would survive.

The merchants were unhappy at first, but my father saw that there were so many of them and for the safety of the villagers, he didn't dare to offend too many of them, so he gave the blueprint to them and said frankly that this thing was difficult to make and the failure rate was very high.

The two sides reached an agreement on this, and my father did not take the merchant's money, so he let him send this group of people down the mountain.

When he came back after sending the people away, he saw a family that had died tragically and the villagers who had died in pieces.

He suddenly realized and turned around to chase after him.
