Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Chapter 159: Sending Away the Scheming Girl

In the evening, the family sat together in the flower hall to have dinner.

Among them was Shu Yue.

The Xiaoyang brothers could feel it even though they were laughing, but after the girl named Shu Yue came in, the only smile on their mother's face disappeared.

"Miss Shu Yue didn't know what you liked to eat, so she asked the kitchen to make something casually."

Liu said politely.

Qu Jingyao looked at her mother's fake smile and felt like laughing.

Because Shu Yue was there, the eldest brother and two younger brothers went to another hall to eat.

Before leaving, Xiaochen glared at Shu Yue.

"Where is Miss Shu Yue from? Let the servants prepare to send her away tomorrow."

As soon as Yue Niang finished speaking, Shu Yue jumped up from her seat and quickly knelt in front of her.

"Please don't drive me away, madam. I am alone and have no one to rely on."

When Yue Niang heard her words, she was stunned and frowned.

The Liu mother and daughter looked at each other, and a hint of coldness flashed across their faces.

"What does Miss Zhao mean?" Liu asked tentatively.

Shu Yue glanced at the three people timidly, her mouth moving for a long time but not daring to say anything.

Finally, Qu Jingyao lost her patience and asked her coldly what she wanted to say.

"I...I...wuwu...please don't send me back, Madam. After I rescued Brother Li, the villagers saw me. It's not good to see a man and a woman alone together, and the rumors spread in the village.

I'm going to be sent back now, and I might even be thrown into a pig cage. Please, Madam, please keep me. I'm willing to stay by Brother Li's side and serve him forever."

After Shu Yue finished speaking, she kowtowed to Yue Niang, begging her to stay. In the eyes of outsiders, she was already Brother Li's person.

When Yue Niang heard this, her body began to sway as she sat upright. Fortunately, Liu, who was standing next to her, was quick to support her.

"Yue Niang..."

"I'm fine, sister-in-law."

Seeing her reveal her true colors so quickly, Qu Jingyao curled the corners of her mouth and smiled sarcastically.

"Miss, you said you wanted to stay and serve my uncle, but you asked my uncle for his opinion. This is not something my aunt can decide!"

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Liu nodded in agreement, and Yue Niang's eyes changed several times when she looked at her.

"Miss, I...Brother Li has been unconscious. How can I ask him?"

"Then how can my aunt make the decision for my uncle and keep you by his side? Aren't you forcing me? Besides, don't you know that my uncle has been poisoned by an incurable poison?"

Qu Jingyao blinked her clear eyes and looked at Shu Yue with sympathy.

At this moment, she was already stunned, stunned by Qu Jingyao's words. This...

"Li...Brother Li was really poisoned? You didn't lie...to me?"

Shu Yue looked up in disbelief and asked. The people around her stopped talking and just looked at Shu Yue quietly.

She was panicked for a moment. If this man was really going to die, then all her efforts would be in vain.

Shu Yue's eyes flickered as she considered the truth of their words. What should she do next?

Qu Jingyao half curled the corners of her lips and smiled sarcastically. Yue Niang opposite seemed to be relieved at this moment. If her sister-in-law and Yaoyao had not been here today, she really didn't know what to do.

She also thought that Shu Yue had bad intentions, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was the benefactor who saved her husband, and she could not treat her badly no matter what. Moreover, taking care of her without taking off her clothes would indeed damage her reputation.

She really couldn't refuse at the moment.

"Miss Shu Yue, are you really planning to stay with your uncle? Even if he's gone, are you willing to continue serving your aunt?"

"I..." Shu Yue hesitated when she heard this, biting her lower lip and looking at them with tears in her eyes.

"Miss Shu Yue, you are still young and you will have plenty of opportunities to meet a more suitable person in the future.

If you want to leave, we can prepare some money for you. You can definitely make a living easily by doing some small business in the future. What do you think?"

Liu took the opportunity to give her a way out, but now it’s just a matter of whether she knows how to accept it or not.

Yue Niang looked at her sister-in-law with gratitude and held her hand under the table.

Liu curled the corners of her lips and smiled, her eyes reassuring her that everything was fine.

Qu Jingyao waved to Baiguo and handed him two silver notes worth one hundred taels.

"Girl, how about you accept this as a reward for saving your uncle?"

Shu Yue looked at the banknotes on the table, a glimmer flashed in her eyes, she bit her lower lip but did not take it.

"I, I'm an orphan, where can I go? I..."

Qu Jingyao looked at her with cold eyes:

"Miss Shu Yue, do you want to stay? Then you should know that this house belongs to my Qu family.

Besides, my uncle and aunt are also staying here. If you insist on staying with my uncle, it would only mean that my aunt is helping my uncle to take in a concubine.

You must abide by the rules of the mansion from now on, otherwise the mistress has the right to sell you."

Shu Yue was dumbfounded and muttered in bewilderment, "If I make a mistake, I'm going to be sold out?"

"Don't you know that those who enter the mansion as concubines have to sign a contract to sell themselves? They are no different from slaves in the mansion, except that they serve different people."

Qu Jingyao's words struck Shu Yue's heart, and her restless heart was gradually extinguished by the cruel facts.

She reached out and quickly grabbed the two banknotes, biting her lower lip and asking them timidly, "Can you please not chase me away from this village? I really have nowhere else to go."

Yue Niang's face darkened. She really wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so she looked at Qu Jingyao beside her.

"I beg you, if you send me back, I will be beaten to death by the villagers. Even if I am willing to leave, I, an orphan, will not be able to survive."

In fact, Liu and Yue Niang knew what Shu Yue said. Yue Niang and her two sons had gone from their hometown to Ruyang City. They had survived many dangers along the way, but fortunately, they had their two sons to protect her.

"Forget it, Yaoyao, let her stay in the village. Find her an empty yard to rent. This will be considered as repaying her for saving my life and accumulating merit for the master."

After listening to her aunt's words, Qu Jingyao didn't know what to say. She instructed Bai Guo to go to Xu Lizheng's house and ask to rent a yard.

"Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, Bai Guo turned around and left the house.

The meal ended a bit unpleasantly.

When Qu Jingyao returned to the yard, she happened to see the Saker Falcon in front of the window.

"You're back. Thank you for your hard work. Come in."

Qu Jingyao entered the house, took the bamboo tube from Haidongqing's feet, asked a few questions about going to the capital, and then sent it back to the space.

Sitting at the desk, she began to read the letter. Looking at the beautiful small calligraphy, she knew it was written by Yun Shu.

It turned out that the shop had been repaired. Uncle Hua also reminded her that the capital was rather chaotic today, so it would be better to postpone the opening of the shop to avoid being affected.

Qu Jingyao shook her head helplessly. There was nothing she could do.

What she didn't expect the most was that Ling Zhou actually bought a 500-acre farm outside Shangjing City. Although the location was a bit remote, it was well hidden.

And he has already won over nearly fifty people.

"Yes, the efficiency is really good, worthy of being from a prominent family."
