Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

The coachman, not getting a response from the young master, could only look at the guards escorting him.

The guards were also at a loss for words and could only pat the coachman's arm, telling him to stop asking, they couldn't explain it!

Zhong Xingwang had stayed here for one night, and after discussing with Housekeeper Ye, decided that if they returned to the Capital City, he would travel back together with his elder sister and brother-in-law.

Housekeeper Ye wasn't sure whether his investigation would go smoothly, but he knew that staying here for too long would put the ladies back in the Capital City in greater danger.

Just the thought of one day without supervision made him uneasy about the safety of the ladies in the Capital City.

The next day, Zhong Xingwang went to the county to meet his brother-in-law and elder sister, as well as his nieces and nephews.

Upon arriving at the guest wing, he entered the large living room to find his brother-in-law, elder sister, and the nieces and nephews there.

Upon seeing their young uncle, the nieces and nephews ran over wanting hugs.

Zhong Xingwang held a child in each arm, then found a seat.

The maid served him tea, and seeing that the young master was all grown up and about to get married, her cheeks flushed red and her eyes turned red, too.

In fact, this little maid had a secret crush on the young master, yet she knew that it was impossible for her to marry him as his equal wife. She dreamed of becoming a concubine, but such thoughts could not be spoken aloud.

The fate of a maid was only to wait for her master to match her with a good family, or to marry a guard.

When the siblings met, Mrs. Mo spoke about the recent meeting with the relatives. Were the family members satisfied with this daughter-in-law?

"Elder sister, would you lack confidence in a student you have taught?"

Zhong Xingwang had a smile all over his face, and while speaking, he playfully tickled his little niece and nephew with his beard.

"Hee hee hee, little uncle is naughty."

"Hahaha!" Zhong Xingwang expressed great pleasure amidst his little nephew's and niece's childish words!

"Seeing you this happy, it must have been a smooth journey, everything went well then!"

Hearing his sister express such an exclamation, he had initially wanted to keep the events that had happened on the way a secret from his sister and brother-in-law, but he decided not to conceal it from them.

"It was truly dangerous, fortunately, you all are safe and sound."

Mrs. Mo, after listening to her little brother's account, felt some fear after the fact, also thankful that such supernatural events occurred, ensuring a safe escort home; otherwise, it really would have been very dangerous.

"Yes, I thought that scene was like something out of a dream!"

Zhong Xingwang reflected on how fantastical it had been, an event fit for myths, happening now to them. This was no immortal; he had come to know who possessed supernatural abilities.

Mr. Mo silently pondered during his wife and young uncle's conversation. The students were unlike ordinary people, especially the least of them, Lady Ye of the Ye family.

The events that had occurred to her were extraordinarily unusual, and he had long suspected that this little girl had special powers. This was a suspicion he and his wife shared quietly in their hearts, not daring to speak about it to others.

Such a talented individual was either a blessing or a curse, and they needed protection.

Zhong Xingwang was unaware that since his return, people had been sending gifts and paying visits.

It was only two days later, upon receiving a letter from home, did he learn of these matters.

Zhong Xingwang couldn't help but sigh. If anyone else were still to say that the Ye family was becoming too haughty in marrying into his family, at this point, he felt it was he who was aspiring to the Ye family's level.

He would use his lifetime to protect the person he loved and was eager to return to the Capital City to engage in commerce, helping within his means.

Having learned of the Ye family's extraordinary status, he knew he had to use his own abilities to help.

Thinking of the house in Chengdu, with only his future wife and three younger concubines in residence, he still didn't feel at ease despite his Young Uncle's assistance.

They had just eradicated the mountain bandits, and he feared that without awaiting Housekeeper Ye and his brother-in-law's travel to the Capital City, they might encounter retaliation.

Zhong Xingwang could only return to the estate every day and visit Housekeeper Ye at night.

Housekeeper Ye began the investigation the next day, visiting the village where the concubine's family lived, and then met other family members.

He of course also brought gifts, bringing many people with him. The concubine's younger siblings had grown up, her sister had married, and her brother had become an adult, while her father had aged into an elderly man.

More than thirty years had passed, and the old man had forgotten Housekeeper Ye's face, only recalling the sale of his eldest daughter when mentioned.

The old couple missed their daughter greatly and regretted selling her over these years; they couldn't see their daughter, ah!

The elders wept, and the concubine's brother also wiped away tears. His parents had sold their elder sister for money, all for his sake.

This was something his wife came to know later on, but having never met the elder sister, she felt no emotional attachment and, while the family wept, she took the children to observe Housekeeper Ye with eyes gleaming.

Having just received the gifts, she knew the elder sister had been sold to a wealthy family, becoming a concubine and now an equal wife in a wealthy family.

Their eyes shone, seeing a future of glory and wealth.

Housekeeper Ye certainly noticed that, although the old couple and the concubine's brother showed genuine emotion, he was rather displeased with the gaze of the other family members.

They did not possess the candid eyes of the young Master and his children, who showed no greed when it came to money and wealth.

Housekeeper Ye decided that the investigation about the concubine would only be shared with the old couple and her brother.

"I have something to discuss with just the old couple and the concubine's brother; the rest of you, please leave for now!" he said.

Upon hearing they were to leave, the concubine's sister-in-law was somewhat reluctant.

"Husband...!"

"Grandparents, father..."! Already teenagers, they didn't want to miss out on any secrets.

The old couple and the soft-hearted husband nodded to the sister-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter.

But Housekeeper Ye wouldn't take their reluctance into account, and he had his guards pull them out despite their unwilling shouts, not only dragging the people out but also closing the door and standing guard at the entrance.

"Housekeeper, what is this about?" asked the concubine's brother.

Housekeeper Ye, facing the brother's question, didn't answer directly but instead asked about the sale of the concubine back then and the events that followed, as well as what was the matter with the Ye family from Bushen Village?

"After our eldest daughter left, we missed her but received no news. A few years later, we got just one letter, and by the time we rushed to the county, the person was gone. Then, for more than twenty years, we've been hoping our eldest daughter would show up," said the old man, wiping tears as he spoke.

"We were relatives with the Ye family from Bushen Village. If not for needing money for the children's medical treatment, we wouldn't have sold our daughter. At the time, our daughter had grown up together with a cousin from Bushen Village. A few years after she left, that relative didn't marry, and later, under family pressure, he went through with an arranged marriage."

The concubine's mother also reminisced, wiping tears.

"Since my sister was sold, that cousin married a wife, and we've had little contact with their family. In recent years, as they've grown wealthy, we didn't make any attempt to curry favor," said the brother, with a hint of resentment in his voice for not reaping any benefit while that relative enabled so many people to make a fortune.
