One Tael of Silver

"Tell me, how much will it take for you to tell me?" Su Qiaoxiu wasn't really stupid, so how could she not see the meaning in the woman's eyes?

But she had no choice. She walked around the dilapidated temple, but no one here paid any attention to her. Not only that, they looked at her with caution. There was only this woman. As for the others, although they looked okay, she didn't dare to approach them at all. She finally got a clue and she didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Hearing this, Baodan's mother acted embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before looking at Su Qiaoxiu again.

"Forget it. You seem to be really anxious. However, this matter does involve certain risks. I can tell you, but the price has to be this much." After saying this, Baodan Mother stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred coins" was a number that drove Su Qiaoxiu crazy.

"Two hundred coins!" Su Qiaoxiu held back the exclamation that was about to come out of her mouth and stared at the woman.

"No? Well, forget it. I don't really want to say anything." Baodan's mother made a gesture to leave.

"I'll give it to you," Su Qiaoxiu said gritting her teeth, even though she knew the woman didn't really want to leave.

When Baodan's mother heard this, she quickly turned around and looked at the person opposite her with a smile on her face, but the greed in her eyes could not be concealed.

Su Qiaoxiu took out two hundred coins distressedly, but did not give it all to the woman right away, "Give you half first, how can I be sure whether what you said is true or not."

"Okay." Baodan's mother didn't take it seriously. After all, what she said was true. Besides, she wouldn't lose anything even if she didn't give it to her.

After putting away the hundred coins, Baodan's mother continued, "Do you see a carriage on the side of the dilapidated temple? The stranger was brought back yesterday is in the carriage." For the sake of the money, Baodan's mother kindly pointed in the direction of the carriage.

"Where's the remaining money after I finished speaking?" Baodan's mother stretched out her hand without hesitation.

It turned out to be that place. Su Qiaoxiu had suspected it before, but was scared away by the big black dog in that house. She looked back at the woman, "Who is the owner of the carriage? Is it a woman?"

Baodan's mother didn't say anything, she just shook her hands.

Su Qiaoxiu: "…"

I was so angry that I felt like vomiting blood. The one tael before was worth more than two hundred coins now. The little money I had left had shrunk rapidly again. Everything went smoothly along the way, but it seemed like things had been very unlucky for her since she came to this forest. No matter how reluctant she was, Su Qiaoxiu still gave the remaining copper coins.

Baodan Mother was so happy after receiving the money that her face was all smiles. She made a lot of money and was in a good mood. She was ready to give the last question as a friendly gift.

"No, he's a vicious man." She almost gritted her teeth when talking about the man, then she no longer cared about Su Qiaoxiu, turned around and disappeared. She thought about going back and telling her man the good news that she was making money.

"Man" Su Qiaoxiu murmured to herself. How could he be saved by a man? Could it be that he was not the prince? If that was the case, Su Qiaoxiu felt like vomiting blood when she thought of the 250 coins she had given out.

No matter what, she had to confirm it, otherwise the money would be wasted. Then she walked towards the ruined temple again, heading towards the carriage with a clear goal.

On the other side, Gulan and her son were leisurely walking towards the ruined temple, carrying a basket of prey and some wild mushrooms that they had unexpectedly harvested. From a distance, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her carriage.

...Isn't that one taels of silver?

So what is she going to do? Gulan glanced at the carriage and thought about the people in the carriage. Could it be...? Thinking of this, Gulan picked up her son and quickened her pace. She didn't think that one tael of silver would have anything to do with Brother Jin.

After all, whether in terms of dress or temperament, there is a huge difference between them, even the servants don't feel alike. After all, having received the thank-you gift, Gulan naturally couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Su Qiaoxiu, who had just approached the carriage, was frightened by Dahei and stood still. The dog's ferocious look with bared teeth made her probably turn around and run away immediately if it weren't for her strong psychological desire. Even so, she exhausted all her strength.

"Is there... anyone... here?" Su Qiaoxiu shouted almost in tears, with a look of fear on her face.

Daya and Erya, who were with Li Ru and Li Yi, hurried over and were stunned when they saw the newcomer. "Why is this person here again?" the two girls thought at the same time.

Seeing the people coming, even though they were two children, Su Qiaoxiu's fear finally subsided a little. "Where are your...your...family?" Su Qiaoxiu glanced at the black dog and asked carefully.

Daya and Erya just looked at him without saying anything, they just thought this person was very strange. Dahei's patience was not very good. He felt that his dignity seemed to be despised. Why didn't this human leave even though he had already received the threat from it? The unhappy Dahei immediately bared his teeth and moved forward with a fierce look.

The movement frightened Su Qiaoxiu so much that she screamed "Ah" and took several steps back. She didn't even have time to disguise her voice and almost cried.

"You...you guys...quickly pull...hold it." Su Qiaoxiu closed her eyes in fear.

"Who are you pulling?" A familiar hoarse voice suddenly came from her ears, which made Su Qiaoxiu open her eyes, and then she widened her relatively big eyes.

"Why are you here?" Surprise made her temporarily forget the fear in her heart.

"Oh...why can't I be here? It's a strange question you ask. And shouldn't I be the one asking why you are here?" Gulan was almost amused and asked back casually.

Then she patted her son and went to find Daya and Erya, and put the backpack next to the carriage. She glanced at Dahei who was eyeing a tael of silver, and gave it an appreciative look. As if to say "well done".

When the owner came back, Dahei became even more excited. He rushed to his owner and wagged his tail happily, but his eyes were still fixed on the stranger. As long as there is something wrong with this person, it will definitely rush over at the first opportunity.

"You are the owner of the carriage." His master posture and the behavior of the big black dog were telling Su Qiaoxiu this fact. This made her look extremely ugly. She could clearly see the Adam's apple on the man's neck, and it couldn't be the same as hers. The owner of the carriage was really a man, which meant that the person she was looking for was probably the wrong person.

"Not stupid," Gulan said lightly.

"Did you save someone?" Anger made her temporarily forget her fear of the big black dog, and she asked with a stiff face.

"You're wondering, what does it have to do with you whether I save people or not? Besides, why should I tell you?" His tone was still light, but his words were already impolite.

Su Qiaoxiu clenched her fists tightly, and spoke after a while, "There was a misunderstanding between us before. I was wrong. I apologize to you here."

"I have forgotten what happened before." Gulan raised her eyebrows. She thought she would not be able to resist the one taels of silver, but she has improved by knowing how to retreat in order to advance. It seems that the one taels of silver she spent before was not wasted.

"Thank you, brother, for not blaming me. This is what happened. I heard that the owner of the carriage saved someone, and my family got separated from me for some reason. I looked for them for a long time, and I was anxious, so I spoke without thinking. I wonder if it's true that you saved someone?" For the sake of her own purpose, Su Qiaoling endured it and asked with a stiff smile.

"We should have stopped doing this a long time ago. I'm not an unreasonable person." Gulan glanced at the carriage. "I did save someone, but I don't know if he is your family member. Or can you tell me if he has any special features? Is he a boy or a girl?"
