The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again
Chapter 671: The Coveted Minister's Wife 20
When Shopkeeper Li heard that the eldest lady wanted to see her, she was so excited that she almost jumped up. The servant next to her saw her and said, "Shopkeeper, why are you so excited? Didn't you go to see the eldest lady last time? It's only been a few days. On the contrary, Madam has been ill for these days. How is she now? Is she recovered?"
Talking about the young lady's marriage that made the lady sick, almost everyone in the Jiang family felt that their young lady was like a flower stuck in cow dung.
Suffer a loss! Unlucky!
Shopkeeper Li just looked at him and said, "Just do your job. Why bother with so many other things?"
Of course, Shopkeeper Li knew the inside story. Ever since he was suddenly called to see the young lady in the middle of the night, she fainted after explaining everything. The second time he went to the Jiang family, he didn't see anyone, but was told by the master and his wife to keep everything he saw and heard secret. Shopkeeper Li knew that these things had to be kept to himself.
Manager Li was an orphan who had never married in these years. He had worked for the Jiang family all his life and watched Jiang Nanqiu grow up, almost treating her as his own child. In that situation, with so many nobles in brocade and gorgeous clothes standing in the young lady's new house in the Pei family, if outsiders knew about it, it would hurt the young lady so much. He would never say a word.
In the past few days, Shopkeeper Li could not say anything and did not dare to ask, but he was worried that his family would turn around and inform him of some bad news. Fortunately, God bless him, he waited until the young lady called him to question her.
Shopkeeper Li knew what the young lady would ask him, so when everyone left, he went to a secret place in his room and carefully took out a black thing.
When Jiang Nanqiu dismissed everyone and watched Shopkeeper Li take out the box of luminous pearls, she was so excited that she couldn't find words for a long time.
Finally, Jiang Nanqiu could only say, "Uncle Li, you did a great job."
Shopkeeper Li saw that Jiang Nanqiu was really much better. He felt much more relaxed after being able to speak to her from the bottom of his heart. He also regained his old-fashioned nature. "Miss, you are really smart. At the beginning, you asked me to handle those herbs alone. I didn't understand and thought they were useless."
“It wasn’t until I carefully examined the herbs that I realized I had made a fortune.”
It turned out that one of the medicinal herbs in the batch of goods sold to them by the female boss from the Western Regions was a large box of turtle shells.
In the Wei Dynasty, turtle shells were a very common item. They were usually crushed and made into medicinal materials and were not expensive.
Shopkeeper Li didn't take it seriously at first. As long as Jiang Nanqiu asked him to sort out the herbs separately, he would break them one by one to see what was inside.
What they found was that there were luminous pearls hidden in two dark-colored turtle shells.
There were ten hidden in one, and eight hidden in the other.
The first ten discovered were very large, and the eight discovered later were even larger.
Night-shining pearls have always been in high demand and priceless since ancient times. The rich and powerful offer huge rewards for them, but there are only a few people in the world who actually own them, and they don't take them out easily on weekdays.
Gradually, this thing became a legend. Therefore, if such a thing were to appear in the world, it would surely cause a huge uproar, with countless people spending lavishly to snatch it.
Looking at the eighteen sparkling night pearls as big as babies' fists, Shopkeeper Li almost fainted from surprise.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen such treasures, and he had seen so many at once.
Manager Li carefully took out the box containing the night pearl and handed it to Jiang Nanqiu.
Jiang Nanqiu had expected this after his previous life, but he was still surprised when he saw the real thing.
Mainly, they are so beautiful.
Jiang Nanqiu picked up a smaller night-shining pearl and put it in his arms, and returned the rest to Manager Li. "Uncle Li, ask your family to take one pearl to the treasure shop in the city for auction, and hide the rest in the tomb."
The tomb was a place designed by the Jiang family for Jiang Nanqiu to store his private vault. Without the mechanism and key, it would be difficult to even enter the gate.
Moreover, every time you enter there, you need a new mechanism and key to avoid getting lost. Even an old man like Manager Li is no exception.
After hearing this, Manager Li said nothing more and went out with her orders.
The Fifth Prince had just been punished, so he put on his clothes and left Liuxiang Palace without showing any signs of abnormality.
Everyone in the palace was still looking at the handsome Fifth Prince, except that he looked a little paler.
The Fifth Prince had just returned to his residence outside the palace and fell down as soon as he entered the gate. Fortunately, his personal servant Qiao Shuang and several other attendants quickly supported him and helped him to his bedroom.
Although she had expected that her master must have been punished too severely to cause this coma, when the Fifth Prince's clothes were opened and the wound on his back was exposed, Qiao Shuang's eyes still turned red.
For the first time, Qiao Shuang felt resentful in her heart, blaming the imperial concubine for being too cruel to her master. After all, her master was her biological child!
How could she have the heart to do such a cruel thing!
For the next few days, the Fifth Prince's Mansion was closed to visitors.
This was like a bolt from the blue for Mrs. Pei, who came to ask for help.
Mrs. Pei has been using all her previous connections these days, and she is no longer afraid of losing face. Her only request is that as long as her son can return safely, she is willing to do anything.
But, they were all turned away.
The eldest and second sons of the Pei family closed the door tightly and definitely would not go out to get involved in this mess.
It perfectly reflects the idea that everyone should mind their own business and not worry about other people's problems.
Mrs. Pei had no choice but to drag her body and crawl to the Fifth Prince's mansion.
However, the Fifth Prince’s Mansion didn’t even give her the chance to enter.
When Qiao Shuang heard about the old lady of the Pei family asking for help outside the mansion, he laughed out of anger, "The Fifth Prince and Pei Shao have always been in private. Now, his foolish old mother is coming to make friends with him. Does she want everyone in the world to know that the Pei family has a close relationship with the Fifth Prince?"
"Forget it. I had a good chance of winning, but she has made it impossible for me to do anything. Get out of here!"
Mrs. Pei lost more than she gained and was almost carried back home like a stray dog.
After Jiang Nanqiu woke up, he heard the news that Madam Pei had publicly killed the Fifth Prince Qiu. He felt a little bit unbelievable and a little scared.
The Fifth Prince was a terrifying man who did not play by the rules. Thinking of that night and the man's behavior, she was still terrified.
However, Jiang Nanqiu felt relieved when he heard that the Fifth Prince refused to see guests after coming out of the palace, and that Madam Pei and her group were also beaten out.
But for some reason, Jiang Nanqiu always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen.
On the third day after Jiang Nanqiu woke up completely, Pei came to visit the Jiang Mansion again.
During the days when Jiang Nanqiu was still asleep, Pei had come many times. But Jiang's mother was "sick" at the time, so she couldn't come out to see guests. And Jiang Nanqiu certainly couldn't come out to see people, so it was Jiang's father who sent this relative away.
Now that Jiang's mother has "recovered", the responsibility of sending Pei's mother away naturally falls on Jiang's mother.
Jiang's father ended up turning a blind eye to it.
Jiang's mother was speechless when she saw this shameless relative. But in accordance with the principle of not letting family disgrace be exposed, she still invited her to join the family this time.
As soon as she entered the room, before she even had time to sit down, Cui poked her head in and asked, "Where's Nanqiu? Why hasn't she come out yet? After all, I'm her mother-in-law."
Cui had come here three times before, but had never seen Jiang Nanqiu.
