Li Qingqian waved to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang took out the paper on which she had written down the prices of these items from her sleeve pocket and said seriously, "What Fourth Miss broke last time was the spoils of war that the ancestor of the Shen family, the founding general of Dawei, obtained from the private treasury of the previous emperor. What she broke this time was the precious Snow Heart Jade Glaze that Beiyuan presented to Dawei. The total is 100,000 taels of silver."

"What?" Li Shuyue's eyes lit up. "One hundred thousand taels? Li Qingqian, are you asking for too much and deliberately ripping me off? Do you know what one hundred thousand taels of silver means?"

Of course Li Qingqian knew this. When she was in the countryside, she knew very well that one tael of silver from Dawei could buy six stone of rice.

"What the hell are you talking about, Fourth Sister? What do you mean by swindling you? Yun Shang is used to keeping accounts, so how could she make a mistake with money?" She smiled slightly, "Who made Fourth Sister so unlucky? What she broke these two times were all priceless treasures."

"However, the Liu family is one of the richest families in Dawei. My sister should not refuse to compensate me for this little money, right? Then we can only..." She dragged out her words.

"Only what?" Li Shuyue asked back with her neck stiff. She just didn't believe that Li Qingqian would beat her because of this.

Li Qingqian rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Report to the police."

"No!" His reputation could not be affected by this, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I will compensate you according to the price!"

After saying that, he walked forward angrily and pressed his fingerprint on the paper, indicating that he completely owed Li Qingqian.

But after leaving Jingyingju, she felt a little regretful.

This amount of money is, of course, a drop in the bucket for a family like the Liu family.

But his mother had been away from home for so long and had not sent him a penny. Besides, Jiang Lin also had to be supported by money, and the monthly salary given to him by the Li family was not enough to cover the cost.

Where can I get such a large sum of money...

That's not right. Why did I put my fingerprint on that piece of paper? Couldn't I just have gotten away with it?

As long as there is no handprint, would Li Qingqian dare to forcibly send himself to the government?

As for those maids, why not just say that they are trying to flatter the master's daughter? What are you afraid of?

Thinking of this, Li Shuyue kicked the wall in anger again and again until she cried in pain.

Because his feet were hurting, he wanted to ask Cui'er to carry him back, but when he turned around, he couldn't even see Cui'er.

Li Shuyue became even angrier, and didn't even care about the pain in her feet. She quickened her pace and walked towards Jinyuyuan.

It would be fine if that bitch Li Qingqian bullied me, but this Cui'er actually dared to neglect her duty. If she had stopped me at Jingyingju just now, how could I have owed Li Qingqian so much money?

Inside the Jinyu Courtyard.

At Li Shuyue's instruction, Cui'er, who was helping her copy the female training, was startled by the door being pushed open suddenly.

The next moment, Li Shuyue's ferocious face appeared at the door.

Cui'er, who didn't know what was going on, suddenly felt that something was wrong and it was all over.

Not long after, the servants who were cleaning the yard were startled by a scream from the upper room and stopped their work.

Although the door was closed, the sound coming from inside was so shrill that it made people feel pity and shudder.

When someone trotted to Jingyingju and told Li Qingqian about this, she was discussing another very urgent matter with Yunwu.

After hearing the news from the person who came, she couldn't help but frowned and told the person, "I can't spare any time here. You and Yunchang go to my storeroom to get some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. When Li Shuyue calms down, give it to Cui'er. Bring her to Jingyingju tomorrow, and she won't have to suffer like that anymore."

After Yun Shang led the people away, Li Qingqian turned to Yun Yi and said, "When people arrive tomorrow, you go find a doctor on the street, but you must not let father know. The doctor in the mansion is trusted by him now, but grandma has been poisoned for so many years, and the doctor claims to be a master of medicine but has never cured her. This doesn't necessarily mean there is no problem. I have upset father today, so I shouldn't let him suspect me again recently."

As long as there is evidence that Cui Er was beaten and injured, there is no need to worry about not being able to control Li Shuyue. As long as Cui Er understands that only he can protect her, there is no need to worry about the other party being unwilling to work for him.

Yunwu only reveals his true face when he is with Li Qingqian and Yun Yan.

"Miss, didn't Master Shen already assign people to guard for you? Why is he suddenly replacing them with our own people?" Yun Wu was a little puzzled.

Li Qingqian forced a smile, "It's a favor for others to help us, but we can't be so arrogant and rely on them for everything. Since we have the conditions, let's arrange our own people to guard Yunzhou."

My grandmother was more far-sighted than I was. She had arranged spies in Yunzhou several years earlier. She probably guessed that my mother's death was related to Liu, and her dowry nanny had remarried and moved to Yunzhou.

Yunwu also agreed with her, "Well, the old lady has always cared about you wholeheartedly. I will take care of the matter in Yunzhou for you. But you are the one I am worried about, young lady."

Li Qingqian smiled and said, "Yun Yan is by my side."

"But her legs and feet are not convenient..." After saying that, she felt something was not right and looked at Yun Yan with an apologetic look, "Sorry, sister, that's not what I meant."

Yun Yan smiled gently, "Don't worry. No matter how useless my legs are, they are more than enough to protect you. Have you forgotten that we had such a hard time when we were young, but I still raised you up, didn't I?"

Li Qingqian also made a promise: "Yunwu, don't worry, grandma has worked hard for so many years to separate you. I also know that it is not easy. I have been working hard to study medicine these days. Although I am not as skilled as An Ning, I can still relieve Yunyan's pain."

Yun Yan encouraged: "Go ahead, I believe you can complete the task independently this time."

Yun Wu then nodded to Li Qingqian, "Then young lady, there is no time to lose. I will set off tonight."

"Wait a minute," Li Qingqian threw a bag of change to her, "Remember to eat well, from now on, neither of you sisters will have to go hungry."

Yunwu held the bag of silver coins in her hands, and was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. "Hey, thank you, young lady."

*

Yunyan was the only one left in the room with her.

Seeing Yun Yan's meaningful look, Li Qingqian couldn't help laughing: "Why are you staring at me like that? Is it because the red marks on my face haven't faded yet?"

Yun Yan smiled and shook his head, "The red marks on the face can be removed, but what about the red marks on the heart?"

Li Qingqian was stunned and subconsciously tried to cover her neck.

Yun Yan added: "Miss, there is no need to hide it. Yun Wu and I are naturally with you, young lady."

Li Qingqian sighed inaudibly, "I don't know what to do either."

She is not a pure and innocent girl. In her previous life, she was also a skilled scheming person. If she is asked to think of a way to deal with her enemies, she can come up with one in the blink of an eye.

But if this is the case...she really doesn't know what to do.

She looked at Yun Yan. In fact, her grandmother in her previous life had left these two girls for her, but for some reason, she didn't know about it until her death.

It was during the days when she started to manage the household that her grandmother sent the person to her. She carefully searched her mind for various details and memories, and slowly figured it out based on some things her grandmother told her in this life.

Although she liked Yun Yan, she did not trust him as much as she did Yun Yi and Yun Shang, so she could not allow herself to tell the other party about her melancholy.

Yunyan pushed the wheelchair forward and took her hand. "When the old lady sent Yunwu and me to the girl, Yunwu asked in confusion, what big things did the girl have planned at such a young age that she and I needed to be assigned to the girl."

"The old lady just smiled and told us that the girl has always been a good child with aspirations and will achieve great things in the future. She asked us two sisters to serve the girl because she wanted her to go further and she also didn't want her to have a hard time on this road."

Li Qingqian narrowed her eyes, her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart seemed to be somewhat moved.

Yun Yan gently pushed back the hair that was hanging in front of her. "Girl, you are actually a few years younger than Yun Wu. We have no plans to get married, so I still have a long way to go with you. There are some things I have to say. No matter what you have experienced, it is all in the past. You must not let these things become stumbling blocks on your future path."

Li Qingqian raised her eyes and looked at her, knowing clearly that she was talking about how she was sent to a village in the countryside.

She actually wanted to say that what she had experienced was not just as simple as being sent to the countryside. But she paused in her heart, yes, no matter what she had experienced, it should not become a stumbling block on her future path.

Li Qingqian closed her eyes, and her heart became more determined about what she was going to do.

When she opened her eyes again, Yun Yan saw that the light in her eyes had become clear and bright again.
