After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 364 Qian Xiaoqiao

If it were a direct confrontation, Qian Musheng didn't really take those bandits seriously.

But if it comes to a direct fight, frankly speaking, he's just one person, while the bandits on the other side have an unknown number of men. Furthermore, if the fight goes against the Qian family, then they're finished.

Qian Musheng knew that he was the only one here who knew martial arts. He didn't know how many people the bandits on the other side had brought. This marriage would probably require strategy; he couldn't act rashly.

With this in mind, Qian Musheng had already begun to devise a plan.

After he had figured out his plan, he began to rest and recuperate.

Qian Musheng is a very reliable person; he would never do anything unreliable.

A detailed plan is essential before any action can be taken.

The next day, Qian Musheng got up and told Manager Qian about his plan. He spoke quietly in Manager Qian's ear, afraid that others would overhear.

After hearing this, Manager Qian's eyes widened in astonishment. He hurriedly asked, "Is this alright? Isn't this a bit too much of a sacrifice for you?"

Qian Musheng smiled and said, "It's alright. The important thing is to outsmart them. We must not act rashly. Just do as I tell you to do!"

After all, this matter is quite troublesome. These thieves are getting married at night, not during the day, so they have more than ten hours to prepare.

Manager Qian instructed the people to get busy, while Qian Musheng appeared very relaxed, sitting in the hall where guests were received, eating an apple every now and then, and getting up to walk around.

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from behind, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

The voice sounded like that of a young girl. Qian Musheng turned around and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen standing behind him. She was very pretty, and her clothes and appearance suggested that she was the youngest daughter of the shopkeeper.

When Qian Xiaoqiao saw Qian Musheng turn around, she only glanced at him before her face immediately turned red.

Qian Musheng is handsome, and he's currently eating an apple.

Startled by the sudden voice, he quickly regained his composure, looked Qian Xiaoqiao up and down, and asked, "Are you Qian Xiaoqiao, the daughter of Manager Qian?"

Qian Xiaoqiao's eyes were still red from crying. She probably couldn't accept what had happened and cried her eyes out, but there was nothing she could do.

She was a little surprised to see a strange young man in the house, so she came over and asked Qian Musheng who he was.

She hadn't expected Qian Musheng to know her name was Qian Xiaoqiao so quickly, and a sense of fear began to creep into her heart. Was Qian Musheng not with that group of bandits? She cautiously backed away, continuing to ask, "Why are you alone in my house? Tell me who you are, or I'll have my father arrest you!"

This little girl is quite something. Although she was quite afraid of Qian Musheng, she still wouldn't hold back, saying she would tell her father to report to the authorities and have Qian Musheng arrested.

In truth, Qian Musheng knew that the little girl was just bluffing to scare him. If reporting to the authorities were effective, wouldn't her father have already reported these wicked bandits to the authorities? It was precisely because no one was in charge that they were helpless, crying out in vain. He could only swallow this matter himself; what else could he do?

Afraid of frightening Qian Xiaoqiao, Qian Musheng quickly said in a serious tone, "Miss, don't be afraid. Actually, I am your father's friend."

Qian Xiaoqiao, still quite wary, asked Qian Musheng, "When did my father become friends with you? I don't know you at all."

Just as Qian Musheng was about to explain, he suddenly saw Manager Qian rushing in from outside. Qian Xiaoqiao immediately ran behind her father, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Dad, who is this person? Why is he just walking into our house?"

Upon seeing this, Manager Qian realized there was some misunderstanding and quickly glared at his daughter, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is our family's savior, who came to rescue you!"

Manager Qian quickly recounted to her everything that had happened yesterday when Qian Musheng came over.

Qian Xiaoqiao then realized that this was the benefactor who had come to save her family.

Qian Xiaoqiao always listened to her father. After being scolded by him, she quickly hid behind him and looked at Qian Musheng with her big, almond-shaped eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Qian, I offended you just now. I didn't know you were a master my father invited."

Qian Musheng quickly added, "It's alright, ignorance is no excuse. You don't know who I am either, it's all my fault for not introducing myself properly earlier."

Qian Musheng then politely apologized to Qian Xiaoqiao in front of him. Manager Qian was also very happy to introduce them to each other. Qian Xiaoqiao seemed more shy than before.

"Manager Qian, I don't think there's time. First, send your daughter, wife, and other family members to your relatives' house. Remember to go out separately and don't attract too much attention. Also, remember to put on makeup and dress Miss Qian up as a servant. Send her to her relatives' house and hide her there."

Manager Qian quickly complied. As Qian Xiaoqiao was leaving, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Qian Musheng, thinking that this man was just too handsome.

Manager Qian followed Qian Musheng's instructions and moved all his family members out. Then he quickly returned and asked Qian Musheng what to do next.

"Find me a few more maids and servants, as well as those who know how to do hair and makeup. Just do things the way they always have!"

Manager Qian didn't dare ask any more questions and could only do as he was told. He had always done the same thing before, slaughtering pigs and sheep at home, decorating the new house, just like he would when his own daughter got married. Here, he began to prepare the banquet and get ready to hold a wedding for his daughter.

This shopkeeper really went all out this time. He originally thought that if his daughter married that bandit king, it would be tantamount to pushing his daughter into a fire pit. He might as well buy a bag of rat poison and poison his whole family to death.

Even with all his wealth, it would be useless to save his daughter. He truly hadn't expected things to take a turn for the better. This rekindled his hope. Since Qian Musheng said the wedding preparations would proceed as before, he would comply.

Manager Qian prepared everything, tidying up the new house, decorating it with lanterns and hanging red lanterns at the door, making it seem like a real wedding for his daughter.

However, if this play is to be performed, Manager Qian still needs to put on a good show for me, so Manager Qian's people cannot leave here.

Qian Musheng also instructed Manager Qian to spread the word to outsiders that he was willing to marry this daughter.
