"Girl, you're finally here, please come in quickly."

When Li Cheng saw Meng Jinyao, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, a beam of light in the darkness. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped aside to invite Meng Jinyao's master and servant to come in.

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly and stepped into the private room.

Ningdong and Qingqiu followed closely behind.

When Grandma Qiao saw Meng Jinyao's master and servant coming in, she smiled coquettishly and poured tea for Meng Jinyao: "Miss, please have some tea."

In the past, before Meng Jinyao came out of the cabinet, Aunt Qiao was Madam's confidant. She didn't need to take an unpopular girl like Meng Jinyao seriously, but now she has something to ask for in front of others. This feeling is both embarrassing and embarrassing. subtle.

Meng Jinyao glanced at Nanny Qiao and said straight to the point: "Six thousand taels is not a small sum. I have to see the value before I can help Manager Li. Nanny Qiao, why not tell me first what is worth six thousand taels among you?"

After Li Cheng heard this, he immediately became anxious and asked quickly: "Miss, didn't you ask my mother to do something for you yesterday?"

Meng Jinyao's voice was light and she said calmly: "I went back yesterday and thought about it, and I found that it doesn't necessarily require Aunt Qiao to do this, but it would be more convenient for Aunt Qiao to do it. Besides, Aunt Qiao and Master Sun I have a deep love as a servant and am loyal to the Sun family, so maybe they will bite me back, and the gain will not be worth the loss, and I will even lose six thousand taels."

Aunt Qiao and Li Cheng were stunned. They didn't expect that a marquise like her would be so cautious about these six thousand taels.

However, the monthly salary of a county magistrate is only thirty taels of silver. Six thousand taels is indeed a huge amount of money. This big girl is not favored. Before she came out of the cabinet, she only received one tael of silver per month. She is used to being poor. It's normal for people to be cautious about money, but just because they are cautious, they don't consider using their mother and son?

Li Cheng thought that the injury he received yesterday was still hurting, and he became more and more nervous. He immediately replied on behalf of Aunt Qiao: "Girl, my mother would never do this."

Aunt Qiao originally thought that Meng Jinyao would be easier to talk to if she asked for help, but she didn't expect that she was not responsible for the matter. She became anxious and said hurriedly: "Miss, as long as you can save Cheng'er, I am at your disposal at any time. "

Meng Jinyao seemed to be a little more interested. She looked directly at Nanny Qiao and asked, "Even if what I ask you to do is harmful to the Sun family, are you willing?"

A flash of hesitation flashed in Aunt Qiao's eyes, and she glanced at her son beside her. Her gaze quickly became firm, but her tone was still a bit nervous: "I wonder what the eldest lady wants this slave to do?"

Meng Jinyao raised her lips: "It's not a matter of murder and arson. It's not difficult for Mother Qiao to complete this matter."

Hearing this, Aunt Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't have to be murder and arson, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to do it. She hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, young lady, I will try my best to do it for you."

Meng Jinyao was doubtful and asked: "Mother Qiao, let me ask you again, son or Mrs. Sun, do you really want to choose your son? I remember that in order to save Mrs. Sun, you were injured internally by a tree trunk and almost died."

Her indifference and distrust made Mother Qiao and her son feel even more tormented. Originally, Mother Qiao still had a slight hesitation, but now her inner thoughts are completely firm. People are selfish. How can the master be as important as his own flesh and blood? The original kindness has actually been repaid over the years.

Aunt Qiao's eyes became firmer and she knelt down in front of her: "Miss, I have repaid my kindness that time when I almost lost my life to save my wife. I only ask the eldest lady to save Cheng'er, so that I can give this slave the rest of my life." The eldest girl can be a cow or a horse, and the slave is also willing to do so."

Seeing her sincerity, Meng Jinyao was silent for a long time before nodding in agreement: "Since you mother and son are sincere, I will leave this matter to you, and I am too lazy to find anyone else. As for being a cow and a horse for the rest of my life, then there is no need. Just do this for me."

Hearing this, Li Cheng also knelt down and thanked Aunt Qiao together: "Thank you, miss."

Meng Jinyao glanced at Qingqiu.

Qingqiu understood, and immediately took out an envelope from his sleeve, opened the envelope and took out two pieces of writing paper, then took a small round box from Ningdong and opened it. It was a box of vermilion ink pad.

Meng Jinyao said again: "Mother Qiao, Manager Li, please mark it."

As soon as these words came out, Nanny Qiao and Li Cheng were stunned. They stood up one after another and looked at the two pieces of paper on them, somewhat confused.

Aunt Qiao said in confusion: "Miss, what is this?"

Meng Jinyao smiled calmly and said slowly: "I gave you six thousand taels of silver, what will happen if you turn around and deny it? So it is better to leave some evidence for some things. Mrs. Sun is a petty person. If you know You have betrayed her before, and even if you turn to her again, you will not end well after your use value is drained."

Aunt Qiao and Li Cheng were stunned again. They didn't expect that she would be so guarded against their mother and son, and still keep this trick.

However, it was not their turn to negotiate terms at this time. No one except Meng Jinyao could help them. Even the madam could not afford so much money. The madam's dowry had been all pawned, and the Earl's Mansion was in such a situation. In addition, Li Cheng also misappropriated Zhuangzi's income, making it even less likely to help them.

Li Cheng was promoted to be a manager by the Sun family, so he knew how to read. After a cursory glance at the contents of the two pieces of paper, his pupils suddenly tightened, and he looked at Meng Jinyao in shock and amazement.

Among these two pieces of paper, one was a confession to let his traitor embezzle Zhuangzi's income of one thousand taels, and the other was an IOU for five thousand taels.

Li Cheng was puzzled: "Miss, I accept this confession, but what's the IOU? Didn't you say that one thing my mother can do for you is worth six thousand taels of silver?"

Meng Jinyao replied warmly: "Manager Li, don't be nervous. I'm just prepared. As long as you complete what I asked, this IOU will naturally be torn up and I won't ask you for five thousand taels. You are Sun's confidants." , suddenly took refuge in me, I really don’t feel safe. Since you want to take refuge in me sincerely, you must let me see your sincerity, what do you think, Manager Li?"

She felt that Mother Qiao and her son should not dare to betray her, but what if?

So she took into account the possible consequences and asked them, mother and son, to leave clues so that they would not dare to violate the law.

When she was a child, she knew that it was Sun who killed Chengyu, but she had no evidence. She suffered the disadvantage of having no evidence and allowed the murderer to live happily for so many years. Now she knows how to leave evidence in everything she does.

Aunt Qiao and Manager Li looked at each other.

Meng Jinyao did not force them, and said indifferently: "If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can rest assured about one thing. I will not tell Sun about this, including the matter of Manager Li misappropriating Zhuangzi's income. Reveal half of it.”

The moment she finished speaking, Li Cheng's firm voice sounded: "Miss, I am willing to do my best for you."
