The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 534: My Surname Is Qi

Madam Hou pondered whether she should ask the other party for some actual compensation. However, she didn’t know how much silver it would cost. Seeing that the other party was also a criminal, he might have a lot of silver on him.

Just as she was thinking about it, the middle-aged man smiled and said,

“Don’t look at me like this. I can still help with some small things.” Shu Yu still shook her head. When Madam Hou heard the two words “little busy”, she became even more hesitant and did not speak.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Since you haven’t thought about it, then you owe me for now. 1 heard that you are also going to the southwest. Who knows, we might meet again in the southwest. At that time, if you have any difficulties, you can look for me.”

When Madam Hou heard this, she immediately shut her mouth. Now, she still had the strength to spare, and there was always that official taking care of her on the way. If there were no accidents, it would not be a problem for her and her daughter to reach the southwest alive.

The real hardship came after she went to the southwest. She didn’t mind, but the Sixth Young Lady was only eleven years old. She had to think about her future.

If this person in front of her still had some connections in the southwest, she might still be able to use this favor.

As for Shu Yu, this was what she was waiting for.

She could see even more clearly than Madam Hou and knew that in this day and age, exile and exile were different. Even if this person was exiled to the southwest, she would most likely enter the government to work.

It was easy to get things done with people in the government.

Shu Yu immediately said, “Alright, then may I ask your name, sir?”

“My surname is Qi.”

He did not say anything else.

The two men standing beside him had already reminded him that it was time to go. The middle-aged man nodded and couldn’t help but look at Shu Yu again before turning around and walking out.

As soon as he left, Madam Hou heaved a sigh of relief. She asked the leading officer in a low voice, “Brother Officer, who is this Mister Qi?”

The leading officer glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Have you forgotten about the man in black last night?”

Madam Hou immediately shrank her neck. Thinking about how her life was hanging by a thread back then, she couldn’t help but shiver.

“Let’s go. We should set off.” The leading officer led the two out of the front Who knew that just as he stepped out of the door, another young man came out.

The man nodded to the leading officer, then looked at Shu Yu and Madam

Hou.

Shu Yu saw that this person looked a little similar to Mr. Qi from just now. She thought that he should be a relative.

The young man said to the two of them, “Thank you for saving my uncle last night. This is a token of the Qi Family’s appreciation. I hope you can accept it.”

The attendant behind him immediately handed over two pouches to the two of them.

Shu Yu was somewhat surprised, and Madam Hou’s eyes widened even more-surprise came unexpectedly.

Mr. Qi didn’t say much to them. When he saw the two of them accept the purse, he said to the leading officer, “l hope that you will take good care of them on this journey.”

He knew how difficult it was for women on the road to exile. It was as easy as lifting a finger, so he naturally had to help if he could.

“There’s a mule carriage parked outside. Thank you for your help last night, sir. I’m tired from the journey, so you can take a rest.”

Although it was said to be for the official, it was actually for Shu Yu and the others.

The leading officer understood and immediately smiled. “Don’t worry, Lord

Qi. I will take good care of them and send them safely to the southwest.” Mr. Qi nodded and left without saying anything.

The leading officer chuckled and put away a banknote. He then called Shu Yu and the other two. “Let’s go. We’ll set off too..”
