Chapter 225 Settlement
When he saw Qiao Shinian, Wen Jiu became visibly uneasy, like a kid who had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded by his parents.
He stuttered, "Sister...Sister, how come you're here so soon?"
Qiao Shinian finally relaxed when she saw that Wen Jiu was fine. Then she looked at Wen Jiu with his upper body exposed and being bandaged, and then looked at the other people in the room. She didn't ask what she wanted to ask.
"What happened?! You were assassinated in your own fiefdom! You came all this way here, and you were shot by an arrow in your own territory! Who is the assassin?! Did you catch him alive? What are the two people standing over there doing?" Qiao Shinian's series of questions made the two people standing aside, who had originally relaxed their brows, frown again.
Wen Jiu shook his head and said pitifully, "I thought I was safe in Lord Jiang's house! Who knew I was caught in a trap and got injured? Fortunately, my uncle blocked the fatal arrow for me, and the rest was left to the people in Yun County's government office."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely catch the person with evil intentions!" A middle-aged man in dark green brocade clothes stood up and bowed, making a solemn promise.
Qiao Shinian glanced over and said nothing. She asked the young doctor, "How is the prince's injury?"
"The bones were not injured, but the arrow was poisonous. Although you took the detoxification pill in time, but..." The imperial physician looked at Wen Jiu, asking whether he wanted to say the rest.
"But what!" Qiao Shinian raised her voice impatiently. She had more or less noticed some signs of this farce. In addition, Feng Tianmo's noisy "ouch" outside made her feel upset. For a moment, she could only suppress her anger and ask.
"But this poison is quite strong and will take several months to be eliminated. During this period, the prince's body can no longer withstand any more torture." After the imperial physician finished speaking, he lowered his head consciously. The atmosphere was no worse than the feeling when the emperor was asking questions to the empress in the palace.
Qiao Shinian clenched her fists. She took a deep look at Wen Jiu, then looked at the people in the room, and her tone softened: "I was in a hurry just now, so I came in a hurry and spoke a little hastily. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yue Yu and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you all for now. Yue Yu, please find someone to pick up the people behind you later."
After saying that, Qiao Shinian turned around and left!
She felt a surge of anger in her heart. How could Wen Jiu treat his health as a joke?
"Yingzhu, do you know where Cao Yue and the others are?"
"Miss! Token!" Yue Yu hurried over and put a token in Qiao Shinian's hand, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to her: "Miss Cao and his team arrived in Yun County ten days earlier than us. This is their current address. If you are worried, you can wait until they have packed up before going there."
"In the future?" Qiao Shinian raised her eyebrows and looked at Chunyu. "Go tell Wen Jiu that I'm very busy now and have a lot of things waiting for me to do. I won't be living in the palace for the time being!"
After saying that, he threw the token to Yingzhu and turned away.
Yingzhu looked at Yue Yu who seemed to be hesitant to speak, smiled at her, and then followed Qiao Shinian.

After searching for some time, they finally found Cao Yue and their family's residence. It was Xu Tian who opened the door. When he saw Qiao Shinian, his eyes lit up.
"Girl, you're here!"
Qiao Shinian didn't look very good. She nodded and asked Xu Tian, "Where are Xiaoyue and the others?"
"Sister Yue has taken people out to buy groceries. Now only Sister Jinhua is here." As he said this, he led Qiao Shinian to find Cao Jinhua.
"You're here!" Cao Jinhua happily took Qiao Shinian's hand and looked around: "You've worked hard on the journey."
Qiao Shinian said tiredly: "Please boil a bucket of hot water for me to take a bath, and let Yingzhu and the others take a bath too. They are really tired from the whole journey." She almost didn't want to talk.
After galloping all the way, he was so tired that it was extremely difficult for him to move.
Soaking in the hot water, she cleared her mind, but there was still a nameless anger in her heart, making her a little anxious.
She slept from the afternoon till the next morning.
The tiredness disappeared, but her hungry stomach told her that it was time to eat.
The dinner table was particularly lively today, and the children were staring at her eagerly.
After dinner, the children didn't go to class. They gathered around Qiao Shinian and told her what they had seen and heard along the way. Dozens of children were arguing loudly.
Kong Twelve pushed everyone aside and sat next to Qiao Shinian: "Sister, let me tell you, I have cured many people along the way. I cured their headaches and fevers."
Qiao Shinian nodded and said, "That's right! Also, we will live here permanently from now on. I know you are very happy to see me. But! You still have to study. Go quickly. The teacher is waiting for you in the next yard!"
"Ah~"
The children's enthusiasm suddenly dropped by half, and they looked at Qiao Shinian eagerly: "Sister, I still have a lot to say to you."
"Me too."
"I still have a lot of things to tell you."
"We still have a lot of time. I can wait and listen to you slowly, but now we need to study." Qiao Shinian looked at the most noisy children with a smile.
"Okay~"
The children pouted and left one after another.
"Ah~! It's finally quiet." Cao Yue couldn't stand the noise and had been covering her ears and looking at the group of small loudspeakers.
"We rented these two courtyards. As for how to develop them in the future, it is still up to you, Sister Shi Nian, to decide." Cao Yue said as she looked up at Yuzhu. Yuzhu and several other people had followed her to Xingzhou these days. Fortunately, with them around, there was no trouble along the way.
Qiao Shinian took the account book handed over by Yuzhu, looked at the account and found it very objective, so he decided to buy the house.
After three days of visiting, Qiao Shinian has already reserved two good houses. The locations are much larger than where he lives now and they are quiet, which is very conducive to the children's study.
Wen Jiu has been busy these days. He asked Yue Yu to take some things to find Qiao Shinian and apologize to her, but Qiao Shinian refused coldly.
But the purchase of the house went exceptionally smoothly. Qiao Shinian knew that he was relying on Wen Jiu's influence. Many real estate properties in Yun County belonged to the Jiang family.
Something happened to Wen Jiu at the Jiang family, and the Jiang family had not received a clear response from Wen Jiu, and had been worried. When they learned that Qiao Shinian wanted to buy a house, and the property she chose happened to be the Jiang family's, they sold it to Qiao Shinian at a very low price.
This was considered as giving Wen Jiu some face and asking him to show mercy.
As to whether this whole thing was directed and acted by Wen Jiu himself, the Jiang family couldn't think of that for the time being. After all, which prince would be willing to risk his life just to frame Jiang Shang who had already resigned from office!
What is the purpose?
Qiao Shinian was not so lucky to choose the Jiang family's property. Every time Yue Yu asked him, the answer he got was a rejection. However, Qiao Shinian never refused anything Yue Yu gave him.
