  Chapter 27 Detachment

  Hearing Xinyou mentioned the bookstore, Xiao Lian couldn't help but think of the book of stories that Xinyou left in the small mountain village, and those brown stains.

  The bookstore that the girl asked Nanny Fang to inquire about, does it have something to do with that book?

  Nurse Fang should step out and leave Xiaolian to watch the night.

   There were only two people left, and Xiao Lian plopped to her knees.

  Xin You was helpless: "Why are you kneeling again?"

  Xiao Lian wiped her tears and said, "Thank you for avenging our girl."

   "No thanks, this is my reward for borrowing Miss Kou's identity." Xin You pulled Xiao Lian up and asked seriously, "What do you think about the millions left by Miss Kou?"

  Xiao Lian was stunned by the question: "You, what do you think?"

   "What I think doesn't matter."

  Xiao Lian was puzzled.

  Xin You had no choice but to make it clear: "I'm not Miss Kou."

  She took it upon herself to take Miss Kou's property back from the Shaoqing Mansion, and then what?

  She is not qualified to dispose of this money.

  Xiao Lian finally came to her senses, and murmured: "Yes, you are not my girl..."

   As the little maid said, she wanted to cry again.

  God knows how many times, looking at this face similar to the girl, she always thinks that the girl is still alive, and she is still by her side.

   "But, maidservant, I would rather you take the money than make the Shaoqing Mansion cheaper!"

  Xin You shook his head: "I can't take this money."

  She borrowed Kou Qingqing's identity, which was a helpless act, and then took other people's property, wouldn't she become a shameless person who occupied the magpie's nest.

"Could it be that the jackals in Shaoqing's mansion are being taken advantage of?" Xiao Lian looked unwilling, "The girl was killed by the eldest wife, but the others are not good either. The eldest son avoids the girl, and the second girl ridicules the girl." , the Elder Master has no intention of making decisions for the girl today. As long as the servant thinks that these people hate the girl and spend the girl's money in the future, it will be unfair for the girl. "

  Xiao Lian was about to kneel down again, but was held back by Xin You.

"Girl, please help our girl again. If you have a way to get the money back, the servant girl will make decisions for our girl. You can keep some of it for your own use, and the rest can be donated to build roads or donated. In short, you can't." The Shaoqing Mansion is cheaper!"

  Xin You listened carefully to Xiao Lian's thoughts, and said frankly: "It is almost impossible to get back all of Miss Kou's millions of dollars."

   That’s not tens of taels or hundreds of taels, it’s one million taels of silver! How many people can swallow such a huge sum of money and still be willing to spit it out?

  Just like what Kou Qingqing's mother told Nanny Fang, as long as her daughter can marry into the Duan family, or marry out with dignity, there is no need to mention this huge sum of money to her daughter.

  Mother Kou did this because she knew that human nature cannot stand the test of such a big temptation, even if that person is her own mother or her daughter's grandmother.

   "Well, how much can I get back?" Xiao Lian asked blankly.

   "If Ms. Kou leaves the cabinet, it should be the easiest way to get back some of it. But you also know that I can't go this way. I can only say my best. If everything goes well, I might get 60% back..."

   Kou Qingqing's biggest problem is that she is an orphan, without any help from outside the Shaoqing Mansion. And the account book in Fang Nanny's hand is not evidence, if she really wants to ask the old lady for the account book without any preparation, the old lady can completely deny it.

  Except for a little nanny, who can prove that such a large amount of the Kou family's property went into the Duan family's pocket?

  Sixty percent is the ideal amount that Xinyou thinks he can get back.

  "Sixty percent—" Xiao Lian's eyes returned to clarity, "If you can really get back sixty percent, then thank God, and the rest... just be your wife and honor the old lady..."

  No matter how unwilling she is, Xiao Lian also knows that the old lady is Kou's mother's mother and Kou Qingqing's grandmother.

  If she insists on getting all of them back, it will be difficult for others, and there is no measure.

  After talking about this matter, Xin You said: "Xiao Lian, I'm leaving Shaoqing's Mansion."

  Xiao Lian's complexion changed slightly: "Girl, didn't you want to borrow our girl's identity, why did you leave Shaoqing Mansion?"

  Xin You smiled: "Isn't it good to leave here?"

When Xiao Lian thought of the dirty Shaoqing Mansion, disgust flashed in her eyes, but she was more disturbed: "Although this place is disgusting, it is our girl's ancestral home after all. If you go out alone, let's not talk about Shaoqing Mansion Answer or not, there is no guarantee in terms of safety."

  Although it is said that thanks to the blessing of the founding queen, women can divide the land and establish households, and their status is much higher than that of the previous dynasty, but in reality, it is not so easy for an unmarried woman to live alone.

  Being bullied if you don’t have money, and being bullied if you have money but no power.

   "Since I plan to leave, I can naturally gain a foothold in the capital." Seeing that Xiao Lian wanted to persuade her again, Xin You said bluntly, "I want to leave here, and the more important thing is that I have my own affairs to attend to."

  Whether the Shaoqing Mansion is good or evil, it is Kou Qingqing, not Xinyou, who is related to it.

  Xiao Lian heard Xin You say this, swallowed those worried words, and said firmly: "Girl, wherever you go, Xiao Lian will follow you."

  Xin You was silent for a while, then said softly: "If you follow me, it will be much more dangerous than in Shaoqing's Mansion."

   "My maid is not afraid. As long as I am by your side, my maid is not afraid of anything."

   "You just need to think about it clearly." Xin You said everything that should be said, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

  The night was silent, and unknown insects screamed. Xin You tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and pulled out a book from under the pillow.

   It is a book that has been turned over many times at a glance. The source is written in the lower corner of the cover, and it is Qingsong Bookstore.

  Early the next morning, people from Qiao's house came, and the second master Duan Wenbai and the second wife Zhu Shi came forward to count and check the property with him.

  Ms. Qiao has been married to the Duan family for more than 20 years. The dowry was either used or used to make money. It took a lot of effort to count.

  Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang felt something was wrong as soon as they entered the house. Duan Yunlang has an irresistible temper, he immediately stopped a passing servant and asked: "Why is the house so messy, and there are still many faces?"

  The stopped servant's eyes flickered, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

   "Are you dumb?"

  Duan Yunchen pulled Duan Yunlang: "Second brother, please go and greet grandma first."

  The two brothers rushed to Ruyi Hall and got the news that the old lady was unwell and resting.

  Duan Yunlang blinked: "Brother, something must have happened at home!"

   "I'll ask my mother."

  Duan Yunchen was calm on the face, quickened his pace and walked a few steps, and met Duan Shaoqing.

  Today is not only a holiday for the students of the Imperial College, but also a holiday for officials. Duan Yunchen was not surprised that Duan Shaoqing appeared at home, so he quickly bowed to salute.

   "Father, the family seems to be a little busy today. Is there something going on?"

  Duan Shaoqing glanced at his still calm son, then at his nephew who couldn't hide his curiosity and worry, and said with a straight face, "People from your grandfather's family are here."
