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

Chapter 116 Return

After Uncle Hua finished speaking, he called the brother and sister and turned back to the shop. The door to the front lobby was locked by several people. There was also a back door in the backyard, which made it more convenient to enter and exit.

"I'll go prepare food, please wait a moment."

As Uncle Hua was speaking, he came to the kitchen and the brother and sister followed him in.

The three of them found that none of them seemed to know how to cook, so Lingzhou suggested that Uncle Hua should go to the pawnshop to buy a maid tomorrow, otherwise three meals a day would be a real problem.

At this time, Qu Jingyao, who had left the city, followed the forest beside the official road all the way to the depths.

"Manman, look around to see if there's anyone around. Master, I'm going back."

Qu Jingyao put the bag that Yun Shu had prepared for her into the space. She reached out to take off the veil from her face and looked around.

"Master, don't worry, there's no one here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Jingyao's figure disappeared into the dense forest in an instant.

As soon as she left, a dark shadow appeared where she disappeared.

As the sky gradually darkened, Leng Yi searched the woods but found nothing, so he had to return to the city temporarily.

Leng Yi knocked on the master's study door again.

"My Lord, Miss Qu has left the city."

"Do you know where she went?"

After a pause:

"My Lord, Miss Qu has disappeared in the dense forest outside the city. I have searched the forest but have not seen a single person."

Leng Yanxiu glanced at the night outside, then asked Leng Yike which shop he had gone to investigate?

"I went to the master, and the three people Miss Qu bought are living there now."

Leng Yanxiu curled the corners of his lips, waved to Leng Yi, and asked him to leave first.

Qu Jingyao teleported directly back to the back mountain of Lingshui Village.

Looking at the familiar dense forest in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief and let Xiaohuo go back to the space first.

She led the horse and hung the bag she brought back from the capital on its back.

"Master, there are already a lot of cotton seeds stored in your space. When will you use them?"

"Well, let's see tomorrow. I'm going back first, otherwise my mother will be worried."

She held the bag in her arms and groped her way towards the cave.

"Yao Yao?"

"Brother? Why did you just come back?"

Qu Jingyao happened to meet Qu Qingchen in front of the cave.

"Uncle Village Head found some more people today, and we've reclaimed all these dozens of acres of wasteland. It's too late, so we'll pay everyone tomorrow."

A hint of joy flashed in Qu Jingyao's eyes. Now that all the flowers have bloomed, they can plant cotton. That's great.

"Brother, tell everyone to help plant the cotton tomorrow, and the wages will remain the same."

Qu Qingchen nodded, saying that this was no problem. The brother and sister chatted as they walked towards the depths of the cave.

"Are these two children not coming back yet?"

Liu looked outside worriedly, and Bai Guo put down his work and stepped forward.

"Madam, I will go down the mountain to welcome you. If I had known this would happen today, I would have gone with you."

Liu also regretted letting the child go out by himself. Yue Niang got up and walked to the door. Seeing that it was already pitch dark outside, it was already difficult to walk on the mountain, and she became even more worried about the two of them.

"Mom, little aunt, we are back."

From a distance, Qu Jingyao saw a figure standing in the small courtyard and guessed that her mother was worried.

Qu Qingchen kept reminding from behind:

"Slow down and watch your step."

Qu Jingyao smiled and floated into the yard.

Liu looked at the person who was hugging her arm with an angry look, and reached out to touch her forehead.

"You're already this big, what do you look like?"

Yue Niang smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and told everyone to eat first.

"Let's go."

"Oh, mom, I'm really hungry." Qu Jingyao curled the corners of her lips, rubbed her stomach, and said coquettishly.

Qu Qingchen pursed his lips and smiled as he walked to the well in the courtyard, washed his hands, and then entered the main house at Liu's urging.

The Xiaochen brothers have not been home for the past two days, and the house seems deserted.

"Mom, this is for you from your aunt." As she said that, she asked Baiguo to open the package.

Qu Jingyao placed the two brocade boxes in front of them respectively.

Of course, there were also many gifts from Baiguo.

"Ginkgo is yours."

After she finished speaking, Bai Guo looked at the pair of lilacs in her hands, with a gleam in her eyes. She didn't expect that her master would bring her a gift.

"Thank you, Master. You must take me with you wherever you go next time."

Qu Jingyao's eyebrows curved, and a knowing smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

Yue Niang's eyes widened, her mouth unconsciously opening: "This... How could you buy such an expensive thing, child? This must have cost a lot of money, right?"

When Liu heard Yue Niang's exclamation, she turned her head and saw Yue Niang taking the golden hairpin and putting it back into the brocade box, and quickly pushed it in front of her daughter.

"You kid, your aunt and I are in the countryside all day long. It's not appropriate for us to wear these gold ornaments. This will only make the villagers gossip."

Liu said this helplessly, and Yue Niang agreed, and now she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Girl, our family is building a house, and you've also sent Xiaochen and the others to school. This will cost a lot of money, there's no need to waste it on us..."

Qu Jingyao burst out laughing and ordered Baiguo to go to her room and get the brocade box on the dressing table.

Liu and Yue Niang looked at her in bewilderment, feeling embarrassed.

Baiguo quickly returned to the main house with the brocade box.

"Master has brought the things."

Qu Jingyao looked at the puzzled expressions of the few people, smiled, and then opened the brocade box in front of them.

Inside were piles of shiny gold bars.

"My God!"

"Yaoyao, this is..."

Qu Jingyao took their hands and comforted them with a smile:

"Mother, little aunt, we have money at home, don't worry, I'm here to make money, you don't have to worry."

Yue Niang looked at Liu in surprise. This... this is truly worthy of being a member of the Li family...

When Liu saw her daughter winking at her, she knew that these gold bars were the ones found in the cave before.

She didn't expect it to be so right. This girl is really... She shook her head and laughed, "Are you trying to scare us to death? You girl."

"Okay, mother and aunt, let's eat first. I'm ready. You can put your mind at ease this time. You don't have to worry about my brother and my younger brother in the future."

Liu knew that her daughter had some money, but she didn't expect that she had saved so much.

She patted Yue Niang's hand helplessly:

"Forget it, let's just wait and enjoy the blessing of having children. This girl has great ideas."

Yue Niang smiled knowingly and lovingly reminded Qu Jingyao not to overwork herself because they were still at home.

She agreed with a smile.

At the dinner table, Qu Qingchen asked her about her trip to the next town, and warned her not to go out alone if she had something to do in the future, as the world was not peaceful.

He also heard the villagers talk about some things that happened when they visited relatives a few days ago.

"What's the matter, brother?"

Qu Jingyao put down her chopsticks and asked curiously.

"I heard that the imperial court has started recruiting soldiers, and the war with the enemy country is becoming increasingly severe."

When Liu heard this, she began to worry.
