Qin Xiaoyao quickly had breakfast delivered to the hall. After she sent a portion to Song Que, she accompanied the others to eat breakfast in the hall.

At this moment, Madam Liu finally couldn’t contain herself anymore and asked Qin Xiaoyao what happened yesterday.

Everyone also looked at Qin Xiaoyao, waiting to hear more.

“Oh, there’s nothing much to tell really.

“After Song Que was captured by the mountain bandits, he was locked up in the government office’s dungeon.

“After that, I found him in the dungeon. I also took the mountain bandit leader hostage and killed the mountain bandits’ second-in-command. Following that, we guarded the dungeon and waited for the Imperial Court’s army to attack the government office.

“Eventually, the Imperial Court’s army only arrived after the sky turned dark.

“After that, we explained the situation to the Imperial Court’s army and followed the soldiers to meet the Second Prince. From there, we were sent back,” Qin Xiaoyao recounted factually.

One night had passed since last night, and the government office would probably have released a notice today to calm the people down and announce the execution of the mountain bandit leader.

The Second Prince had said that he would give her a reward, so she definitely would not be able to hide it from her family.

Therefore, she might as well tell the truth.

As for the details, she wouldn’t reveal too much and simply allowed everyone to fill in the blanks with their own imagination.

Qin Xiaoyao spoke calmly, but everyone was shocked as they listened to her.

Only Qin Dazhuang was not very affected. He felt that Qin Xiaoyao was able to do all this because of her master’s help.

However, the rest of the people were incredibly shocked.

They knew that Qin Xiaoyao had great strength and was highly skilled in martial arts, but they did not realize that she was so capable!

She had kidnapped the mountain bandit leader, killed the second leader, and then went to meet the Second Prince?

She… had actually done so many great deeds?

While everyone was still in shock, there was a knock on the door from outside the courtyard.

Qin Xiaoyao went to open the door personally.

Then, she saw some soldiers carrying two large chests of things inside.

After that, they read out the Second Prince’s decree.

It turned out that the reward that the Second Prince had promised had arrived.

There was a total of 1000 taels of silver in the chest. It was a reward for Qin Xiaoyao from the Imperial Court for capturing the bandit leader and killing the mountain bandits’ second-in-command.

When the chest was opened, the sparkling silver was reflected in everyone’s eyes, and they finally believed Qin Xiaoyao’s words.

“In addition, the Second Prince also asked us to bring a message to Madam Qin. When he’s done with the government office’s matters, he’ll personally come to visit,” the leading officer said to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao was astounded.

“Oh, alright!”

“Sir, I have to trouble you to reply to the Second Prince. When the time comes, my husband and I will definitely welcome him with open arms.” She cupped her hands and replied to the officer.

Now that everything was over, and she had already turned down his offer to join him, why did he still want to come here?

Could it be that he had not given up? He still wanted to win her over?

Forget it. She couldn’t be bothered with him.

However, she couldn’t say no to him coming to visit.

For the sake of the 1000 taels of silver, she had to entertain him.

Furthermore, the Second Prince didn’t say that he was going to take back the 10,000 taels of silver the mountain bandits had given her.

Thus, strictly speaking, what he had given her was not merely 1000 taels of silver.

When she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao accepted this turn of events very happily.

After exchanging some pleasantries with the soldiers, she sent them off.

As soon as Qin Xiaoyao returned from sending off the soldiers, she was surrounded by everyone.

It was obvious that everyone had not recovered from the shock yet. They were all waiting for Qin Xiaoyao to explain the situation.

The Second Prince… the Second Prince had actually sent so much silver.

He even suggested that he would pay them a visit in person in a few days.

That was the Second Prince! The Emperor’s royal offspring!

They were all commoners, and they could hardly get a chance to meet the county magistrate, much less someone with a status like the Second Prince.

As for being acquainted with the Second Prince, that was even more out of the question.

“Don’t just stand there. Help me bring the silver back to the house first,” Qin Xiaoyao said, feeling amused by the looks on everyone’s faces.

Everyone quickly returned to their senses.

Following that, they all stepped forward to help bring the silver back to Qin Xiaoyao’s room.

After they were done, everyone left the room and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t continue explaining and asked everyone to continue with their breakfast.

Thereafter, she sent Big Girl Li’s family of three off.

Next, she looked for her father and gave him a 100 taels silver note.

Qin Dazhuang was shocked. How could he accept it?

However, it didn’t stop Qin Xiaoyao from insisting on giving it to him.

“Father, just take it. Your daughter has made a fortune this time on this outing. This is really nothing!”

When he saw that Madam Liu and the others seemed to be looking in their direction, Qin Dazhuang finally did not refuse.

“Even if you have made a fortune, it’s still yours. I…” Qin Dazhuang thought that his daughter was referring to the 1000 taels of silver that she had just earned when she said “a fortune.”

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at her father.

“It’s all thanks to Father and my two brothers coming here to help out when my husband got into trouble this time.

“Without you here, how can I go to the government office to save my husband in peace?”

When she saw that Qin Dazhuang was about to speak again, Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and held his hand.

She whispered, “Besides, I got these silver notes from the mountain bandits. It was equivalent to getting it for free. It’s not a big deal to share some with you!”

Qin Dazhuang was astonished and immediately stared at his daughter.

“Don’t worry, Father. I’ve mentioned this to the Second Prince. The Second Prince didn’t take the silver back, so you don’t have to worry about using this silver note!” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

Only then did Qin Dazhuang’s expression relax.

“You… even got silver notes from the mountain bandits? No, wait… Did your master do this, or did you do this?” he asked.

Qin Xiaoyao was stumped momentarily.

Then, her eyes flickered for a while.

“Ah, I got it together with my master. We got quite a lot. I gave the bigger share to master and I got the smaller share,” she added, going along with Qin Dazhuang’s narrative.

Qin Dazhuang nodded.

“What about your master? He also went to meet the Second Prince?” he asked again.

“No…” Qin Xiaoyao quickly replied.

“Master is used to being carefree and doesn’t want to be restrained. When he discovered that the Imperial Court’s army had broken through the town, he left after making sure that my husband and I were safe.”

Qin Dazhuang gave a sigh of relief.

“Can you still contact him?” His daughter’s master had done his daughter and the Qin family a great favor.

He wanted to meet him in person and express his immense gratitude.

“Master comes and goes without a trace, and this time he’s deliberately avoiding the Second Prince. I’m afraid I won’t be able to contact him any time soon,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

Qin Dazhuang looked disappointed.

At this point, he roughly understood why the Second Prince wanted to come and visit his daughter’s family in a few days.

“What a pity…” After giving another sigh, Qin Dazhuang finally stopped harping on this matter.

Qin Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief inwardly when she saw this.

“Now that we’ve gotten rid of the bandits in Mountain Spring Town, I believe that order will be restored in the town soon with the Second Prince’s presence.

“Father, you should go home and tidy up the house with my brothers.

“We should be able to lead a normal life in two days.”

After seeing Qin Dazhuang nod, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “I’m also getting ready. I’ll start growing bean sprouts this afternoon.

“When the bean sprouts ripen, I’ll be counting on Big Brother and Second Brother to help me sell them this winter.”

“Sure! I’ll tell your big brother and second brother when I get back!” Qin Dazhuang quickly replied.

“Then I’ll get your big brother’s family to come over and help out this afternoon,” he said after some thought.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“Let’s forget today. The Imperial Court’s army has just entered the town. The

situation outside may not be able to recover so quickly..”
