Delayed by the greedy shopkeeper and the scumbag young master, it was already afternoon when Yuqing and the old lady returned to the villa. The old lady and the mute woman were extremely nervous on the way, fearing that the thieves would come to cause trouble again.

, only Yuqing has been sitting steadily with the presence of the old god.

"Yuqing, aren't you worried about them going down the mountain to take revenge?"

"Worried that they won't come? If you don't have time, you might as well figure out how to save such a small amount of money. A handling fee of 500 taels for ten thousand taels of silver is no different from robbing money. It's really three years since I opened my business. How can I save money?

Three years. This business is so shady, these shady businessmen should all die."

"Yuqing, this is how it is in the Imperial City. It's almost the end of the year, and many shops in the villa have to come back for reconciliation. Some of you are busy, and half of the business is profitable, so we don't have to worry about money.

"

"Auntie, do we have many shops in our villa? Will it be affected by the troubled times?"

"The impact is inevitable. Of course, there are those who make money in troubled times. It depends on the minds of those who do business. There are dozens of shops belonging to our villa. The most profitable ones are a few rouge shops, and then there are

Grocery stores for grain and daily necessities. You are not familiar with these yet. As long as the losses are not severe this year, there is no need to check the accounts."

After listening to the old lady's words, Yuqing didn't say anything, but she had a clue in her heart. It was said that the shopkeepers of various shops would only come back to pay accounts a few days before the Chinese New Year. There was still about a month left, and it was necessary for him and Ye Xuanzhen'er to make secret visits.

It is best to be aware of the shops that belong to the villa.

After walking past the place where they were robbed in the morning, they didn't see the robbers. The old lady and the mute woman felt relieved. What they didn't know was that the robbers were kneeling in the village's meeting hall.

Training.

The meeting hall of the Thieves' Village is surprisingly large, with a small part separated by a huge screen inside. The thieves are now kneeling below, and a middle-aged man wearing a silver mask is sitting inside behind the screen.

"What a waste. A group of people went down the mountain and couldn't rob a few women. They are from any villa or from the countryside. There are force majeure reasons for entering the imperial city at this time." The man behind the screen reprimanded with a majestic voice.

"The owners of the village are all from Qi's Villa. The leader is the old owner's wife, and the driver is still the mute woman. But the one who does the talking is a little girl. It was the little girl who beat us on the head so that we couldn't get up.

"

"Well, a little girl will beat you on the head until you can't get up. I never heard that there is such a capable person in Qi's Villa. It turns out that when the old owner of the village was alive, there was a master like the mute woman, and we only came to Qi's Villa

The villa's website is a bit polite, but now that the old villa owner is dead, a young master appears out of nowhere."

"Master of the village, that girl is the new owner of the village. I heard the previous owner's wife take care of her. That girl is really capable. We are not bragging for her. Our leader's fists didn't even touch the skirt of other people's clothes."

When I arrived, I was knocked down again and again."

"What a waste! It's normal for a country to have talented people from generation to generation. I'll write this down first, and then I'll slowly settle the accounts with them. Go down and ask the doctor to take a look at the injury, so that the leader of the village can understand that girl's skills.

"The leader of the village behind the screen said thoughtfully.

"Yuqing, Ye Yuqing, is it really that child? I finally have some clues about the person coming..." The people below all left, and the leader of the village muttered to himself and then gave instructions to the depths of the screen.

.

Yuqing in the villa is also struggling with this matter: "Old madam, Yuqing is a little confused. We all have the surname Ye in our villa. Why are some people called Ye's Villa and others Qi's Villa?"

"What? You don't even know this. Your aunt and uncle never told you when they were alive. A hundred years ago, our ancestor was General Ma Ma with the surname Ye. He had been guarding the Yan Kingdom for decades, and after he retired and returned home,

It was here that the Ye Family Villa was built. About a few decades ago, when the new emperor came to the throne, Ye Ying, which is a homophone for Ye and Yan, expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter in the court. At that time, our Ye family was still in the court.

The man who was an official told this story after he came back. For the safety of the villa, the owner of the villa at that time changed the name of the villa to Knight Villa. This was to dispel the new emperor's wariness, and to commemorate the ancestor's military career.

Disappointment with the court. From then on, the descendants of the Ye family stayed away from the court, and set the ancestral precept that no one could enter the court and work for the emperor surnamed Yan. As time went by, people started to scream, and the knights also

It became Qi family, Yuqing, it’s just a name, just listen to it and forget about it.”

It turns out that this is the case. The nanny never said it, and neither did the aunt. Presumably because of their own life experiences, they were eager not to be related to the surname Yan. Yuqing thought in his heart and felt relieved. After all, how many years have passed.

ten years.

"People with the surname Yan are so stingy that they can't even tolerate homophonic surnames." Yuqing said with disdain.

"So, it's not surprising that their son killed his father and his brothers killed each other to fight for the throne. The roots are not upright, and they can still expect their descendants to be upright. However, there is also an upright God of War, the Prince, who refuses to join them. He died at the age of twenty

I left the court to station at the frontier fortress, but it was a pity that I was killed by the traitor and lost my life at the frontier fortress." At this moment, the old doctor came back, and he happened to pick up the conversation.

"Grandpa Langzhong, we are all finished at Yuanwai Villa." Yu Qing felt uncomfortable and asked about Yuanwai Villa.

"Business is over. Mrs. Yuanwai insisted on staying for dinner, so my old doctor came back. One more thing, these seven aunts and eight aunts told me about your delivery, and the Yuanwai Villa is also preparing

I'll call you over when the time comes, and I'll tell you that the medical fee will never be reduced, and I've already agreed to it for you, master."

"Master, if you trust your apprentice so much, you will have to be brave for me when the time comes."

"That's necessary. The doctor's share of the consultation fee cannot be reduced." The old doctor joked.

"Hey, the master and the apprentice really want to make money. Come here and give the money to the villagers who went out to work today."

"Oh, ten thousand taels of silver sounds like a lot, and it costs so fast." Yuqing sighed while counting the silver.

"Son, isn't there a saying that you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't become a family? You can't survive in such a big villa without money. Hey, why hasn't the mute woman gone back?"

"Auntie, Yuqing has remembered. Mute mother-in-law, please come in. Yuqing will take your pulse and see why you can hear or not speak." Yuqing shouted towards the yard.

"Apprentice, this master knows that the mute grandma was poisoned. In the early years, the master also tried to detoxify her, but it had no effect at all." The old man said with shame.

"Master, do you know what the poison is?"

"You can't feel it from the pulse. Disciple, if you know what the poison is, it will be easy to detoxify it."

Yuqing diagnosed the mute old woman's pulse, and the old doctor watched while working, convinced that this apprentice had the ability to make the mute old woman talk. When the nanny came to the villa to join her relatives with little Yuqing in her arms, the child was frightened all the way.

He had taken care of her. At that time, he realized that this child was not from an ordinary family. He remembered that she was wearing a gold collar and the quilt she was wrapped in was not ordinary. Later, the nanny spent a lot of money on it.

I bought her an identity and recorded it in the family tree of the sixth family of the Ye family. More than ten years have passed, and almost no one has mentioned what happened back then. Now, the child's wisdom in times of crisis further proves the old man's

I know that I am not at a loss for this apprentice who I recognized from the pole. As the old saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times. No matter how you look at this little girl back then, she is a hero among women who can't be inferior to men.

"Apprentice, what's going on with the mute woman?" The old doctor couldn't help but ask as he watched Yuqing take the mute woman's pulse without speaking.

"Master, you have cured the poison that the mute grandma suffered back then. Now you need to give the mute grandma a silver needle to test her acupoints. I hope it will be effective." Yuqing said, but the mute grandma took her hand and walked out. Yuqing

I was also full of questions, so I explained it and followed the mute grandma to where she lived.

"Madam, old owner of the village, did you go to the Imperial City to redeem the silver notes smoothly?"

"Oh, how can we be so smooth? All the money we used to pay filial piety to the bank has been fed to the dogs. If it weren't for Yuqing's cleverness, our losses would be even greater. When we came out, we met another gangster. I don't know which family he belonged to. Thanks to Yuqing, we were able to resolve the problem.

Lost it."

"Who else could it be? It could be an upstart from the New Emperor faction."

"Hey, there is one thing you just need to know. Yuqing is also good at kung fu. It will be revealed in the future. The mute woman recognized Yuqing as her apprentice and said that Yuqing has been secretly learning from her for five years."

"Madam, old owner of the village, I know. Protecting this child means protecting our villa. But now the villa has become a world of women, and these seven aunts and eight aunts can't stop their mouths. Many things are really true.

The most important thing is to be in the front, so as not to be passive when the time comes. I hope that our villa can survive the current difficulties and be able to survive in troubled times."

"Old imperial doctor, you have been in the villa for more than 20 years, and we have not always cooperated very well. Our Ye family will definitely be able to continue, and we will continue to work hard together."

"Old owner, madam, you can be considered a hero among women."

"Forget it, let's stop flattering each other. The future is the stage for young people. I think that even if Yuqing is in trouble, he will not forget that we forgot the Villa."

"Master, do you have something to say to the apprentice? The poisonous old man has cured you. The apprentice boldly guesses that master, you can speak long ago." On the way to the mute grandma's residence, Yu Qing said

She couldn't help but ask. The mute grandma didn't say anything, she just squeezed Yuqing's hand hard and moved faster.

"Child, is your surname Yan?" After walking back to the house, the mute mother-in-law closed the door nervously and asked straight to the point with a rough voice and a vague pronunciation, which stunned Yu Qing.

"ah!"

"My child, you don't need to answer the master first. In the year you came, your aunt held you in her arms and begged the owner of the village to write you into the family tree with five thousand taels of silver. At that time, you had a gold collar around your neck with an inscription on it.

It is decorated with complicated patterns. Gold is something only allowed to be used by the royal family. Your nanny was too careless. The quilt that wrapped you was also made of top-grade brocade. Although your aunt wrapped it with a layer of sheets on the outside,

Old lady, I used to come into contact with those clothing materials a lot, so I don’t think I’m too familiar with them. If you still have those things, be sure to hide them. Don’t lose them, because they contain your identity information.” The mute woman said again.

After saying a few words, she seemed to have found the skills to speak. This time she spoke smoothly and enunciated clearly. In Yuqing's ears, she felt that there was no need to tell lies anymore, and the identity of the mute woman was by no means simple.

.

"Master, Yuqing just learned about these things not long ago. Master is..."

"My child, the master used to be a palace maid. Because of his poor appearance, he was assigned to the washing room, and because he was unlucky enough to see the scandal of the concubines in the harem, he was poisoned and could not speak. One time, Mu Xiu went to the street and happened to meet the young former owner of the village.

When he was bullied, the master took action. It was not that the master was very upright, but that it was too difficult to live at that time and everything was despairing. Because of this incident, the master was beaten and thrown into a mass grave before he died, waiting for me to crawl out.

I was fortunate enough to be rescued by the village owner after I came out, so the village owner took me in and lived anonymously in the villa. This may be fate. From then on, the master picked up the martial arts he had learned from his father and brother, and later gave them to the village owner.

Madam, your doctor is also from the palace. He was a famous imperial doctor in the palace at that time. I don’t know why he ended up living among the people."

After listening to the words of the mute master, Yuqing thought about it several times in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh that it was God's will. Of course, whether it was her own nanny or the current mute master, what they said was true. The real situation

It's definitely not that simple. Thinking of this, Yuqing asked directly.

"Master, even if this is the case, you don't have to keep pretending to be dumb. This will not bury the old doctor's medical skills. Maybe the old doctor will feel guilty and regretful."
