Mrs. Qiu’s surname is Hao, but she has a bad temper.

A woman who can become the mistress of a mansion will not be a weakling, but sometimes her husband does not agree with her, so she can't help but feel alone.

Fortunately, she gave birth to two sons, both of whom were good at business. The eldest son was in Shanghai all year round, responsible for border trade, while the second son was smart, filial, and well-educated, so he stayed by her side.

In theory, she had no worries about food and clothing. The Qiu family was well-off, and her two sons were very capable, so she really had nothing to worry about.

Only—she glanced sideways at the carriage behind.

Aunt Su got off the car, she was dressed simply and neatly, her makeup impeccable, her eyebrows lowered and her manner pleasant, and she was respectful enough to her.

But Mrs. Qiu knew that all this was superficial. This woman was used to pretending to be obedient on the surface and spoke softly, but in fact she had a black heart and a sharp knife in her stomach.

Because of her weak appearance, her husband had the upper hand over her. He felt hurt and often quarreled with her because of this woman.

She also suffered several losses.

Madam Qiu shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up! If the eldest lady hadn't sent an invitation mentioning the female members of the Qiu family, do you think you are qualified to enter this door?"

Aunt Su was not annoyed, and said softly, "Yes, thanks to my sister, I am benefiting from your help."

Mrs. Qiu's breath was stuck in her throat and she felt very uncomfortable.

With a hum, he walked inside.

Aunt Su still had her brows lowered, but her eyes greedily swept over every corner of the mansion.

This is the original Shen’s residence, the most prestigious residence in Youcheng.

Now it has become the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.

Huh, why?

They destroyed the Su family, and she would never swallow this humiliation easily.

When you arrive in Youcheng, the royal palace is useless. It all depends on who has the money, and that's who has the final say.

Aunt Su followed Madam Qiu inside with something in mind.

Not sure if it was an illusion, she suddenly heard a familiar male voice.

Speaking of that man, it really made her angry.

She had thought it would be a big deal. She would buy the cloth from the Cheng family and sell it at the border. She wouldn't even have to ship it out. She could make a lot of money just sitting there. But when it came time to deliver the cloth, the cloth turned into rolls of paper.

The outer layer is dozens of meters of cloth, and the inner layer is wrapped with coarse paper, the kind of paper that poor people use to go to the toilet, and you can't even write on it!

When the man saw this, not only did he fail to do the business, but he also had to return the deposit, pay double the amount, and demand another 10,000 taels as compensation for the loss.

That would be digging out her flesh and drinking her blood!

But she had no choice but to give it to him. The man was not afraid of her threat and threatened to sue her in black and white.

How dare she? Originally, she had done business with the Cheng family by coaxing her husband and saying countless good things. Madam Qiu had been kept in the dark. After this incident, Madam Qiu would not forgive her.

It wasn't that she was really afraid of Madam Qiu, but after all, she was in the wrong, so she still had to be cautious.

She originally wanted to ask everyone to secretly keep an eye on the man, and then find an opportunity to snatch the banknotes back.

But who would have thought that as soon as the person went out, he disappeared after taking a few turns and there was no news of him at all.

She couldn't eat when she thought about it and was so angry that she couldn't sleep.

Now when he heard the voice, his eyes immediately became glared at and he looked around.

Several men walked in from another door, talking and laughing.

One of them laughed and said, "The wine in the restaurant is indeed good, but it's still not as good as the one in our palace."

This sound!

Aunt Su held her breath and looked. The man was very young, wearing a collared robe and his hair was tied up. His skin was not very white, but he looked clean and his eyes were alert.

He is totally different from Li Lin, the man from outside the Great Wall who took away tens of thousands of taels of silver from her.

How is this going?

At this time, Beibei also noticed her. Seeing her staring at him, he was not panicked. Instead, he bowed and said, "I wonder what you want from me? Why are you staring at me?"

Beibei did not avoid the question, but asked loudly. People coming and going around them were not just them, not just the Qiu family.

Aunt Su also realized that she had lost her composure. Before she could say anything, Madam Qiu turned around and whispered, "What are you doing? This is the palace. Put away your dirty thoughts and don't embarrass the Qiu family!"

Aunt Su blushed, and Madam Qiu said to Beibei, "Don't blame me, little brother. People in our house don't know the rules and have never seen the world. Please bear with me."

Although the clothes that Beibei wore were not servants' attire, they were not the master's clothes either. They should be those of a steward in the mansion.

Mrs. Qiu is so humble that she is elevating Beibei and the palace.

And take advantage of the opportunity to step on Aunt Su.

Beibei understood it at a glance, and nodded: "Madam, your words are sincere, no problem, please."

He turned around and left with Yinding and the others.

Madam Qiu glared at Aunt Su and walked into the front hall.

There were already quite a few guests in the front hall. The person at the door took her invitation and called out, "Mrs. Qiu is here!"

Mrs. Qiu walked into the room and everyone looked over.

The eldest lady sat in the first seat and made eye contact with Yan Ruyu.

Madam Qiu stepped forward and saluted: "I greet the princess and the madam."

The eldest lady smiled gently: "Madam Qiu, please take a seat."

Madam Qiu was asked to take a seat, but no one else sat down, including Aunt Su.

She lowered her head and wanted to sit next to Madam Qiu. Madam Qiu lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you step behind me? In this kind of situation, how can you have a place?"

Aunt Su held back her anger, twisting her handkerchief tightly in her hands: "I am not a servant either, if I stand, wouldn't it be rude?"

"Humph, look at the guests who have come here, which concubine is sitting here? You are unworthy."

Aunt Su gritted her teeth secretly and stole a glance at Yan Ruyu, who was sitting in the first seat.

The first sight of it made me hate it even more.

How can a woman be so beautiful!

Obviously, her jewelry was not particularly gorgeous and exquisite, and her clothes were not particularly complicated and noble, but she was able to outshine all the other girls, and intimidate them without making a sound, making them dare not speak loudly.

Aunt Su secretly swore that sooner or later, she would lead the Qiu family to become the richest family in Youcheng and even in the northwest, and she would be able to be like that woman!

She had no choice but to stand behind Madam Qiu.

As soon as I stood firm, I heard someone outside say, "Mrs. Cheng, Miss Cheng is here."

Yan Ruyu looked up when she heard the voice.

Her eyes fell on Cheng Fengyao.

Cheng Fengyao looked thinner, and her face...had also changed a bit. Her facial features looked more three-dimensional, and her skin was crystal white, which made her red lips look even redder.

As soon as she came in, many people's eyes stayed on her face.

She noticed it, raised her chin, and there was a hint of pride and complacency between her eyebrows.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and only one thought flashed through her mind: the "ghost hand" beside Mr. Mo really lived up to its reputation.

I just don't know if his hands have any other skills. It would be a pity if they were only used for this.

If I get the chance in the future, I must catch this person and give him a thorough trial.

At this moment, Ghost Hand, who was in the dark basement in Shencheng, suddenly shuddered and couldn't help sneezing twice.

"What's wrong with you?" Ghost Eyes asked him.

Ghost Hand sniffed: "I don't know, I suddenly feel a little uneasy."
