EBE Chapter 215 He Vomits Blood
Chapter 215 He Vomits Blood
Qi Wenyuan caught a glimpse of a figure flying out of the carriage, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"Yao'er, go back quickly."
Qu Jingyao took out a short blade from the space and flew towards the nearest masked man.
With a sharp look in her eyes, she quickly dealt with the man in front of her in two or three moves. She tilted her head and warned him with a serious face, "Uncle, don't be distracted."
Qi Wenyuan waved the folding fan in his hand to stop the masked man who was about to pounce on his niece.
With the cooperation of several people, they quickly knocked down all the thieves.
Looking at the panting Yao'er, Qi Wenyuan smiled helplessly and gave her a thumbs up.
At this time, Zhao Lingling's carriage had arrived outside the city of Bianliang. Suddenly, the carriage driven by the coachman lost control and rushed towards the moat.
"Miss, it's bad. The horse is out of control. Jump off the car quickly."
As soon as the coachman said this, Zhao Lingling widened her eyes in disbelief. The carriage sped up and began to shake.
The maidservant protected her and quickly rolled out of the carriage. If they fell into the moat together, they would be doomed.
"Well......"
Despite the maid's protection, Zhao Lingling's cheek was still cut by a stone on the road, and blood flowed instantly.
The frightened maid immediately crawled to her master's side and hurriedly helped her up.
Looking at the bloody face, the maid's heart skipped a beat. She collapsed on the ground and hugged her, feeling scared. She would be very surprised if the lady didn't beat her to death when she got back.
"Miss, Miss, how are you? Lian'er will help you up."
Many people leaned their heads out from the carriages passing by, which scared Zhao Lingling, who was very concerned about her reputation.
"Ah! Get out of here, get out of here." She pulled the maid's sleeve to cover her face and yelled at passers-by.
The driver had already fainted by this time.
Qu Jingyao had cleared the "roadblocks" and arrived at the moat. He heard people coming and going at the city gate talking about what had just happened.
"Didn't you see? Just now, the young lady from the Shangshu Mansion lost control of her carriage for some reason, and she was thrown out and disfigured."
"I heard the horse was stung by a bee and that caused the carriage to lose control."
"Hey, stop talking! Didn't you see how fierce the people from the Shangshu Mansion were just now?"
The carriage that Qu Jingyao was riding in slowly drove into the city.
"Yao'er, did you hear that? Evil will be punished. I didn't expect it to come so soon."
The joy on Qi Yuyao's face was beyond words. Ever since she learned from her brother that the person chasing them might have been sent by Zhao Lingling, she wanted to bite her to death.
It was she who was blind at the beginning. He insisted on playing with her. Not only did he open his heart to her, but she still treated him like a fool.
If it weren't for Fourth Brother's constant attention to her during those years, she would have been killed by Zhao Lingling...
It scares me to think about it now.
"Hehe...Auntie, let's go to the raw stone."
As he spoke, Qi Wenyuan ordered the driver to drive directly to the Zhao family's raw stone shop.
"Alright, Master, sit tight."
The driver's whip made a "crackling" sound.
They soon arrived at the Zhao family's shop. The shop was rather deserted at this hour. When Qu Jingyao and the others found the shopkeeper with Zhao Lingling's jade buckle, the Zhao family's servant had just left.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with surprise as he held the jade button, but he soon put on a smile.
This did not escape Qu Jingyao's eyes.
"It's the Fourth Young Master and Fifth Young Miss of the Qi family! My wife just sent someone over to explain. Please come this way."
The shopkeeper bowed politely and walked towards the shop to greet the few people, but the smile on his face faded as he turned around.
Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and looked at her uncle.
Several people were led by the shopkeeper to the place where the raw stones were piled in the yard. Looking at the piles of raw stones, Qi Yuyao frowned and wrinkled her face.
"Yao'er, how are we supposed to choose? We don't even know how to choose!"
Qi Wenyuan was helpless and shrugged helplessly.
The shopkeeper saw the expressions of several people. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. It was just as the lady said. Even if they were asked to choose from these people, they might not be able to pick out one or two.
Since the young lady lost the bet, she should accept the defeat and still consider the reputation of the Zhao family.
"A few of you can choose whatever you like."
Qu Jingyao nodded slightly at him, walked slowly towards the pile of raw stones, and began to look at it.
Until they stopped in front of a pile of raw stones, the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and curled his lips in disdain.
The Qi siblings looked at Yao'er nervously, their folded palms sweating.
Qu Jingyao touched the raw stones slowly, sensing the full spiritual energy in each raw stone in the space.
It was not until an incense stick of time later that Qu Jingyao finished selecting all the raw stones.
"Okay, boss, that's all. Could you please ask the masters to help you cut the stone?"
"Girl, of course you can."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he told the servant to invite the stone cutter.
When several people followed the shopkeeper to the front, the space was full and told her that there were top-grade spirit stones in the room at the back, which were not inferior to the ones she had selected, but the shopkeeper did not take her there.
Forget it, there is still a long way to go.
The shopkeeper invited them to sit up front and wait, and the waiter brought them some tea and snacks.
"Please sit down for a moment. I will go and greet the guests first."
As they were talking, many customers came into the shop. I didn't know whether they came because they heard the news or to participate in the gambling on stones.
But Qu Jingyao doesn't care about these.
"Yao'er, what good things do you think we can get out of it?" Qi Yuyao's eyes were full of excitement. This was the first time she had witnessed stone being opened with her own eyes.
Although Qi Wenyuan had participated in this event with his friends before, he was still somewhat nervous this time.
When the first piece of raw stone was cut out, the masters who cut it couldn't help but exclaimed. This first piece was a rare red jade, which was rarely seen in many years.
When the people in the shop heard that red jade had been unearthed, they all went to see it curiously.
The second piece was a piece of blue water jade, the third piece was a piece of top-quality jadeite rough stone, and the fourth piece even turned out to be a piece of top-quality southern red agate...
As more and more jades are produced, there are imperial green, top-grade jasper, green jade, mutton-fat white jade, dense jade, Beijing white jade...
Every time he opened a piece, the shopkeeper's face became darker, until he became numb and stood there in a daze, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
If his wife knew about this, he would have no chance of continuing his job as the shopkeeper.
Who would have thought that the woman was so powerful.
At this time, someone suddenly recognized Qu Jingyao as the woman who had gambled on stones with the young master of the Li family before.
"Oh my god! No wonder so many top-quality jades were minted. I'm going to make a fortune now."
"I want to take her as my teacher!"
As more and more people gathered around, Qi Wenyuan immediately stood up vigilantly and protected his sister and her two sisters.
"Everyone stand back." He frowned and warned the people who came forward.
