Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 362: Chapter 362, encountering bandits

Xie Yun looked at the soft and cuddly little girl in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, “No need to thank me.”

Little Niching ran back to Luo Wei’s side and called him Daddy Sweetly.

When Xie Yun saw the happy scene of the three of them, his heart skipped a beat. He put down a banknote and left.

The amount of banknote in front of the cuddly little girl far exceeded the amount of food on the table that Xie Yun had eaten.

She chased after them and heard Xie Yun say, “You should also pay for the dishes on Qiao Ruoyi’s table.”

Glutinous rice agreed.

Jiang Yu, who had been following Qiao ruoyi and Nichang from afar, saw this scene. She clenched her hands and said, “Lowly servant! Qiao ruoyi really wants to take the child and come to the Xie family to take over the family.”

Zhou shihui said, “If I Were you, I definitely wouldn’t be able to endure it. This father and daughter are linked by heart. If we don’t get rid of Qiao Ruoyi’s daughter, who knows when Qiao Ruoyi will be able to marry into the Xie Family?

“Originally, there was only a step between the madam of the Xie family and you. Now, are you going to watch helplessly as you miss the position of the madam of the Xie Family?”

Jiang Yu shook her head and said, “I don’t want to. I’ll listen to you. I want to get rid of that little bastard!”

Zhou Shihui smiled. She had been restrained everywhere in Jiangnan and had been in an for five years. She felt humiliated when she thought of what had happened in Luoyang in Chang ‘an. Her mother had died tragically, but she couldn’t even observe filial piety.

She wanted the Qiao family to get their retribution.

If Qiao Ruoi wanted to blame someone, she should blame Qiao Lui and Qiao Jinniang!

..

Luo Wei had been very busy recently. The troops in Lin ‘an had been deployed. Just five hundred miles away from Lin ‘an were the famous Yandang Mountain Flying Bandits.

In the past, the Yandang Mountain Flying Bandits and the officials did not interfere with each other. The local officials and common people had already gotten along well with the flying bandits.

But this time, after his majesty led the officials to Lin ‘an, they still had to patrol. The Yandang Mountain Bandits had to be eliminated.

This also gave Jiang Yu and Zhou Shihui a chance to take advantage of.

Zhou Shihui said to Jiang Yu, “Luo Weili defeated the Yandang Mountain Bandits. The leader of the bandits will definitely not be satisfied with his escape. Why Don’t you bribe the leader of the bandits? Even if the matter is exposed, it will be retribution for Luo Wei’s suppression of the Bandits.”

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, she said, “But Lin ‘an city is now under martial law. The people in Lin ‘an city only go out and do not enter. Everyone has to be investigated. Even if we find the leader of the bandits, we might not be able to sneak into Lin ‘an and attack that little bastard.”

Zhou shihui smiled and said, “How difficult is that? Wouldn’t it be enough to trick Qiao ruoyi into leaving Lin ‘an with that little bastard?”

..

After Qiao Ruoyi told the local officials about the etiquette of receiving the emperor, she also began to check the local women’s offices in the yamen.

The local women’s offices were originally there for the consideration of women, but there were quite a number of cases where women’s welfare was deliberately taken away.

When Qiao Ruoyi was in Lin ‘an’s yamen, there were female workers from he city’s silk merchants who came to inform on her. Not far from Lin ‘an, there were some silk merchants in he city who were obviously men who inherited the family business, but they deliberately set up female households in order to pay less taxes.

Not only that, but those merchants also exploited female workers. The local female officials turned a blind eye to this matter.

After Qiao ruoyi received this news, she thought of making a trip to he city.

The Rowei people were at Yandang Mountain. Qiao Ruoyi brought Nichang along and set off for he city.

He city was adjacent to Lin ‘an. From the name of He city, it was known that this was a land of fish and rice.

Wu Nong’s soft language was very prosperous. Every household here raised silkworms. When they arrived at he city, they could see the scene of the mulberry girls picking and feeding the silkworms.

It was niching’s first time seeing a silkworm baby. She was not afraid at all. On the contrary, Qiao Ruoyi was extremely afraid of white squirming worms.

Niching grabbed a silkworm baby from a mulberry tree to scare Qiao ruoyi. Qiao Ruoyi was so scared that she kept retreating. Unexpectedly, she fell into a person’s embrace.

Luo Wei half-hugged qiao ruoyi and said, “Niching, you’re being naughty again. Stop scaring your mother.”

Qiao ruoyi saw Luo Wei and said, “How did you get here? Aren’t you at Yandang Mountain?”

Luo Wei said, “The bandits of Yandang Mountain have been exterminated. Only the leader of the bandits and his underlings were left behind to escape under the tip-off of the local officials. Today, they are being tracked down in he city.

You’d better bring Nichang back to Lin ‘an as soon as possible. That leader of the bandits is an extremely vicious person!”

Qiao ruoyi said, “I have some business in he city. I’ll return to Lin ‘an as soon as I’m done with business. Besides, with you around, what am I afraid of?”

Luo Wei smiled faintly.

At night, Qiao Ruoyi and Luo Wei stayed in the magistrate office of He city.

After Qiao Ruoyi coaxed nichang to sleep, she whispered to Luo Wei, “When we return to Chang ‘an from Lin ‘an, we should have a child too.”

Luo Wei’s eyes lit up, but he remembered Qiao Ruoyi’s illness and said, “Ruoyi, you don’t have to force yourself.”

Ever since the two of them got married, although they shared the same bed, they had never been husband and wife. It was because Qiao Ruoyi hated those things. In the past two years, Qiao Ruoyi and Luo Wei’s relationship had gradually improved, and there were many intimate moments, but every time it reached the final step, it would make Qiao ruoyi extremely frightened.

Luo Wei did not want to force Qiao Ruoyi.

Qiao ruoyi hugged Luo Wei and said, “No, I won’t force you. After we return to Chang ‘an, we’ll try again.”

After two years together, she could be sure that she loved Luo Wei very much.

Luo Wei smiled lightly. “Okay, when we return to Chang ‘an, we’ll have a child.”

Qiao ruoyi said, “Nichang said that she likes younger siblings. One is not enough. We have to have at least two, so that nichang can have enough of an older sister.”

Luo Wei nodded and said, “It’s best if it’s a son and a daughter.”

The next day, Qiao Ruoyi brought Nichang to the biggest silk merchant house in he city to check the accounts. She did not find anything out.

The silk merchant immediately said, “Sir Qiao, the owner behind us is the Xie family in Lin ‘an. How would they dare to do such a thing of tax evasion? I don’t know which female worker falsely accused US behind our backs. This is absolutely not the case.”

When Qiao Ruoyi heard this, she casually flipped through a few books and found that there were no problems. There was nothing wrong with the tax collection, the local Ministry of Revenue official who came with Qiao ruoyi said, “Sir Qiao, the Xie family’s business has never had any problems.”

Qiao ruoyi said, “It’s good that there are no problems.”

Qiao ruoyi and Nichang left the silk merchant’s mansion. In March, it began to rain cats and dogs. It was always raining during the Qingming festival in Jiangnan. It was difficult for the horse carriage to travel on the road.

Qiao ruoyi said to Yan Yu, “There’s no need to hurry on with such a heavy rain. Let’s find a temple to rest.”

Yan Yu agreed.

Coincidentally, there was a temple not far away. Qiao ruoyi had been feeling uneasy in the center of the temple. If the female worker had not been mistreated, why would she specially come to Lin ‘an to falsely accuse her?

“That’s not right! Lin ‘an has been sealed off for several days. How did the female worker enter Lin ‘an?”Qiao ruoyi fiercely hit her own head. “I’m really stupid to the extreme. Let’s Go!”

Qiao ruoyi quickly stood up. Xiaoman picked up little nichang and followed Qiao ruoyi outside the temple.

The rain was getting heavier. When they reached the entrance of the temple, they saw a man with scars all over his face and stubble all over his face. He was carrying a knife, “You’re Luo Wei’s woman. Is this Luo Wei’s daughter? It just so happens that I’m going to kill you two today to avenge my brother!”
