Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: The Wicked Woman Farms (24)

”Yuyu, what’s happened to you?”

Upon entering the town, Jiang Yuyu encountered several village women, who, upon seeing her state, all came over.

While their mouths spoke words of concern, the mockery in their undertones was clear to Jiang Yuyu.

”Nothing.”

Jiang Yuyu’s face was swollen, making her look even thinner and darker than before. All she wanted now was to leave quickly and not run into these people.

But these fellow villagers refused to let her go and engaged her in small talk.

”Does your husband treat you well?”

”I heard he’s a fool.”

”He probably can’t ’do that,’ right?”

”Ah, why talk about this...”

Jiang Yuyu clenched her fists, bowed her head, and hid the resentment in her eyes.

”Right, Yuyu, you might not know yet, but your mother was beaten by your brother almost to death—it was so pitiful...”

Jiang Yuyu thought Yang Cuicui had it coming and couldn’t care less.

”I have something else to do, I have to go.”

Jiang Yuyu pushed through them and quickly left.

After running a distance and ensuring no one had followed, Jiang Yuyu leaned against a wall to catch her breath.

Just as she was about to continue on, something on the wall caught her eye—a missing person’s notice.

The more Jiang Yuyu looked, the more familiar it seemed.

This person...

”Cloud City... The Qiu Family?”

Jiang Yuyu murmured to herself, her gaze dropping to the reward money listed below. She quickly tore the notice off the wall.

-

Cloud City, Qiu Residence.

”Madam,” a servant rushed in, ”a woman just arrived at the gate, saying she has news about Young Master Qiu Ya.”

The woman in the Consort Chair opened her eyes and spoke slowly, ”So many people have come to the residence claiming they have news about Qiu Ya over this long period, but which has been true?”

”No, Madam, I think this time it’s real, everything she said matches up with Young Master Qiu Ya,” the servant said.

The woman frowned, ”Really?”

”Really.”

”What exactly did she say?”

The servant quickly relayed everything.

”He’s gone mad?”

”Yes. That’s what she said.”

”...” The woman was silent for a few seconds, ”It’s better to be safe than sorry. Send someone to check, and if it’s really him, you know what to do.”

”Yes.”

She called the servant back, ”Was the person who brought the news seen by anyone?”

”No,” the servant replied, ”Madam, rest assured, the woman ran into me as soon as she arrived; no one saw her.”

”Don’t let her speak again,” a streak of ruthlessness flashed in the woman’s eyes.

As long as this news didn’t reach Old Master Qiu, Young Master Qiu Ya would never think of coming back.

-

”I’m dead tired. After we eat, nobody call for me.”

”My back and waist are aching...”

”Brother Liang, please ask Miss Chuzheng what we’ve done to offend her.”

”...”

Brother Liang was also suffering from back and waist pain.

”Who are you looking for?”

Several people stood outside the courtyard, peering inside at that moment.

Liang Han, leading his people back from the fields, ran into these individuals.

The strangers turned around, first stunned, then asked very politely, ”Excuse me, is there a Young Master Qiu Ya here?”

”...” Liang Han sized them up for a moment, ”Who are you?”

”We are sent by the family of Young Master Qiu Ya.”

”Family?” People from the Qiu Residence?

Liang Han had asked Miss Chuzheng before whether or not to inform the Qiu Family, but Miss Chuzheng didn’t allow it.

How come people from the Qiu Residence have found their way here?

Chuzheng brought Qiu Ya back, and the Qiu Residence’s people were already sitting in the courtyard.

”What are you doing?”

”People from the Qiu Residence,” Liang Han whispered.

The others also stood up, looking excitedly at the person behind Chuzheng, ”Eldest Young Master.”

The Eldest Young Master was afraid of them and hid behind.

Their expressions changed immediately, ”Eldest Young Master, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you recognize me? I’m Qiu Yun.”

I’m still ’Spring Transport.’

Chuzheng blocked the people trying to approach Qiu Ya.

People from the Qiu Residence were seeking entrance.

Should I take care of them?

Or take care of them?

Protect my Good Person Card!

Chuzheng’s gaze was frosty, ”He doesn’t remember you.”

”...” Qiu Yun, with worry and anxiety on his face, ”Why would the young master not remember? What happened? What have you done to him...”

Chuzheng cut off the accusation Qiu Yun was about to make, ”He is your young master?”

”Yes... yes... this is our family’s Eldest Young Master.” Qiu Yun nodded repeatedly, ”I can’t be mistaken, we’ve been looking for the Eldest Young Master for a long time.”

Qiu Yun might also have felt he was a bit too impulsive earlier.

Bowing with his hands clasped, he bent slightly, ”May I ask Miss, how did the Eldest Young Master come to be with you?”

The courtyard didn’t look very big, but everything inside was of high quality.

Of course, Qiu Yun had already done his homework before coming.

He knew all about this woman’s deeds.

But none of that mattered.

What he needed to do now was to take Qiu Ya away.

”I picked him up.”

”I see. Miss, this indeed is our Qiu Family’s young master. We don’t know why the Eldest Young Master has become like this, but we’ve finally found him after much difficulty, and we hope Miss will allow us to take the Eldest Young Master back. The Qiu Residence will surely reward you generously.”

Chuzheng surveyed him with a frosty look, ”Who are you to him?”

Qiu Yun didn’t want to answer, but when he met Chuzheng’s gaze, he inexplicably felt a chill.

”I... I am the Qiu Residence’s Butler.”

”Butler?” Chuzheng said, ”Your young master goes missing, and a butler comes to fetch him, where are his family members?”

The Butler is the stepmother’s person.

The few men Qiu Yun brought were tall and burly, with fierce looks in their eyes.

It looked like they came to silence witnesses.

Qiu Yun answered smoothly, ”The Madame is in poor health and unsuited for long-distance travel. The Old Master is away on business and hasn’t returned.”

”Oh,” Chuzheng said indifferently, ”Your family’s Eldest Young Master goes missing, and your Old Master still has the mood for business. It seems he isn’t much favored, how do I know what you’ll do to him once you take him away.”

Qiu Yun: ”...”

Qiu Yun took out the gold he had prepared.

”Miss, for keeping our young master for so long, please take this gold. If it’s not satisfactory, I’ll send more when I return. The Qiu Residence will not treat you unfairly.”

Qiu Yun emphasized the words ’Qiu Residence.’

He hoped Chuzheng would understand that she was dealing with the Qiu Residence and to stop meddling in their affairs.

”The person...” Chuzheng deliberately paused, ”I’m not going to hand over to you, please leave.”

Liang Han and others immediately stepped forward to see the guests out.

Fierce bandits facing the tall and burly house servants.

”He is the Qiu Residence’s young master, on what grounds are you detaining him!” exclaimed Qiu Yun, anxiously.

Qiu Yun didn’t believe Chuzheng was unaware of what the Qiu Residence represented.

He had thought taking away Qiu Ya would be an easy task.

Unexpectedly...

The other party simply wouldn’t release him.

Even if she had some murky money, compared to the Qiu Residence, it was like a witch doctor facing a grand sorcerer, incomparable.

Opposing the Qiu Residence was like courting death.

”Because I suspect you want to kill him to silence him,” Chuzheng stated bluntly, ”If you want the person, send someone who has the authority to decide.”

Those words from Chuzheng struck Qiu Yun’s sore spot, and his tone rose significantly, ”You’re talking nonsense!”

Chuzheng’s tranquil eyes slowly shifted, her cherry lips slightly parted, ”If I’m talking nonsense, why are you so worked up, throwing a tantrum in embarrassment?”

”...”
