Chapter 773: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 34
The second son of the Gao family was led astray by a few fake letters, and ultimately both he and the Su family suffered losses. He was the one who took advantage of the situation and became the biggest beneficiary of the whole incident.
"Well done. When giving Gao Shiqi a 'big gift', tell him that the Su family's illegitimate son has been buying up the Gao family's tenant land since the Gao family got into trouble.
This one was secretly sent to Gao Rao.
This one, have someone deliver it directly to that bastard of the Su family, and let them fight it out on their own."
When Xiao Yunzhou said this, he heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate. The rhythm of each step was light and pleasant, and it seemed so familiar to him.
"Put on your mask and go back. Don't let the lady see it."
Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand, and his every gesture was filled with the calmness and ruthlessness that only a superior could have.
Miaomiao opened the gate and entered the yard. From last year to this year, she has successively acquired 18 shops in the town. Of course, most of them were suggested by Xiao Yunzhou, and there were a few that she bought purely because she wanted them.
These shops pay rent every three months, and the rent is enough for her to live a good life.
The life of a hunter was far away from her.
Miaomiao was holding a bulging purse in one hand and a net bag made of hemp rope in the other. These were given to her by Butcher Wang's wife when she met him.
The taste is really good.
“I’m back and I’ve earned another bag of silver, enough for your sister to support you.
Come, try this wild fruit. It was given to me by Auntie Wang the Butcher. I tried it and it tastes pretty good, sour and sweet.
Miaomiao put the pocket on her waist on the table, then went into the kitchen to get a bowl, washed the wild fruits in well water, put them on the table, took out one and put it in Xiao Yunzhou's hand.
"Try it and see how it tastes. By the way, I heard from Butcher Wang that there's a temple fair in town tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Miaomiao thought that asking was the same as informing.
Sometimes, she felt that her younger brother was a little clingy, but in the past two days, he was so busy that he never left his room. Perhaps, she could go for a walk by herself, just like she did this time when she collected rent.
Who is the good sister of this family? She is always followed by a younger brother when she goes out, as if she is afraid of getting lost.
But obviously, Miaomiao's idea was not Xiao Yunzhou's idea.
Xiao Yunzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the fruit in his hand, his Adam's apple rolling. Just now, when his sister gave him the fruit, he raised his hand slightly, and the fingertips with thin calluses touched the palm of his hand.
Whether it was the Gao family or the prince, they were all his former defeated enemies and leftovers, so naturally they would not attract too much of his attention.
It's just that sometimes they need to be guided to destruction.
The most important thing is Miaomiao, this is his life.
"Okay, I'm going with my sister."
Xiao Yunzhou smiled and put the fruit into his mouth. It was sweet, just like the feeling Miaomiao gave him. It was so sweet that he missed her morbidly if he couldn't see her for a day.
Xiao Yunzhou, who had just looked old and ruthless, put on the innocent mask of a young man again in front of Miaomiao.
"I also want to buy some sugar paintings for my sister.
However, after we finish the temple fair in town, sister, do you want to go to Mingzhou with me? I have some things to take care of there, but I’m afraid to go alone.”
Xiao Yunzhou said this with an embarrassed look, as if he was ashamed of saying the word "afraid".
Miaomiao sighed. Could she say no?
Miaomiao used to think this was a multiple-choice question, but after so long, she realized that this was a compulsory question stated in the name of a request.
If she said no, Xiao Yunzhou would naturally not force her...
As Miaomiao sighed, countless images appeared before her eyes.
The first time he said he was going on a long trip, she didn't go with him because she had to collect rent. It rained heavily that day, and Miaomiao was still sleeping at home, thinking that Xiao Yunzhou had arrived at his destination. As a result, the gate of the courtyard was knocked open. Miaomiao thought a thief had come in, but when she opened the door, she found it was Xiao Yunzhou, who looked pale.
Without waiting for Miaomiao to say anything, he hugged Miaomiao and even slept on the floor in her room, because her brother said that he was afraid of thunder if he was not with Miaomiao.
The second time he was going on a long journey, Miaomiao saw that the sky was clear and cloudless, and it would only take two days to go back and forth, so Miaomiao felt lazy and wanted to have a good rest at home, as she had a younger brother who was too clingy.
As a result, Xiao Yunzhou returned the next day, but encountered bandits on the way, who stabbed him in the arm. That night, he developed a high fever...
The bandits were eventually dealt with by Miaomiao, but it still left a shadow on her.
The idea that Xiao Yunzhou would not be able to go out properly as long as she didn't follow him was ingrained in his mind.
But for Xiao Yunzhou, a temporary departure is necessary.
Three days later, when the former members of the Gao family surrounded Su Mingyuan of the Su family in the suburbs outside the capital, Xiao Yunzhou was taking Miaomiao in a carriage on the official road to Mingzhou.
The flowers in the mountains and fields were blooming beautifully. Miaomiao felt relaxed and at ease sitting in the carriage watching them. They walked and stopped like this, and they were still on the road after walking for two days.
On that day, Miaomiao was enjoying the cool under the crooked tree, preparing to go to the town that Xiao Yunzhou mentioned to eat local specialties, but she heard the sound of weapons clashing coming from the bamboo forest not far away.
Miaomiao's ears twitched, and she subconsciously wanted to jump out to take a look, but Xiao Yunzhou behind her pressed her behind a tree.
"Wait, let's see who it is."
Just as Xiao Yunzhou was speaking, the sound of weapons clashing began to gradually come towards the official road. Someone seemed to have discovered their carriage.
Miaomiao was still a little hesitant when she saw a man in black jump up and point the arrow in his sleeve at the young man who was protected by a group of guards.
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flashed, and he threw out a copper coin from his arms, accurately knocking down the sleeve arrow.
"Let's go, sister. I know the person being protected."
This time, only the two siblings were on the trip, and Xiao Yunzhou got on first, followed closely by Miaomiao, who was not at all behind.
The guards around the young man, the Third Prince, became much laxer due to the addition of two young men with great martial arts skills.
The third prince put aside his previous panic and looked at the young man who came to the rescue with a girl. They looked so similar.
Like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time and who made him feel guilty...
Miaomiao didn't know all this. She didn't kill people, but she would beat the men in black until their hands and feet were broken and then throw them aside. She would also subconsciously clean off the belongings on their bodies.
For some reason, she couldn't feel anything on these people's bodies. Instead, after Miaomiao touched two of them, Xiao Yunzhou cut their throats and killed them.
This was the first time Miaomiao saw Xiao Yunzhou kill someone. He was quick and decisive, with a murderous aura.
......Miao Miao suddenly felt like she didn’t recognize her younger brother anymore.
Is this the same boy who slept on the floor under her bed because he was afraid of thunder?
