If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Nanny Liu brought Xiao Xing back to the Qin Mansion, and Li Youlin also moved in.

Accountant Sun took people to various places to collect rent from shops and properties, and Manager Chang had to deal with the sublease of shops in Jinzhou City.

Qin Shu handed the mansion over to the care of Nanny Liu, while her brother Li Youlin stayed behind with the guards and servants.

Qin Shu and Nanny Chun only brought four maids, Qingsang, Qingzhu, Fubao and Mumian, as well as two guards, Mo Laowu and Fuzhen.

The group traveled light and left the city early in the morning on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

Before leaving, Qin Shu asked Qing Liu to take two boxes of rouge cream that she had just made the night before and send them to the Xiao Mansion.

Qing Liu stood outside the door and followed Qin Shu's instructions, saying, "Our eldest daughter said that the master and his wife passed away not long ago, and the family is in deep mourning and will not admit guests. I'll ask my eldest brother to give this rouge cream to the old lady, and the old lady knows about it."

Qingliu was about to leave after delivering the things, but the doorman begged her to wait for a moment while he ran away with the things.

When he arrived at the second gate, he asked the gatekeeper to inform the maid in the old lady's courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, a second-class maid from the old lady's room came out, took the rouge and cream, asked a few questions, and then sent the concierge away.

The girl returned to her room and said to Madam Xiao, "Madam, the maid from the Qin residence said that these rouge creams were promised to be made for Miss Three. Miss Qin went to Gushan Manor and is not in the residence."

Madam Xiao pondered and said, "What is she doing at Gushan Manor?"

The girl replied, "The girl from Qin's house said that they seemed to be going to plant something."

Nanny Yu laughed, "A boudoir lady, what else can she do besides embroidering and looking at account books? I'm afraid you can't even tell the difference between grass and seedlings, and you still want to learn from the farmers to farm?"

Madam Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Does our family have a farm in the Gushan area?"

Nanny Yu said, "There is one. It seems to be the dowry farm of the Fifth Madam."

Madam Xiao's face suddenly turned cold, and she snorted, "I knew she wouldn't stay still! Go tell Old Fifth's wife and ask her to send someone to watch over the farm. Also have someone follow Cheng'er closely. If he leaves the city, stop him!"

Nanny Yu quickly agreed and asked someone to go to Zhilan Courtyard to pass on the message.

Madam Xiao asked again: "Where is the girl who delivered the gift?"

The little girl replied, "I have already gone back."

Madam Xiao was silent for a moment before she asked, "Did you meet Master Liu when you came here?"

The little girl shook her head in confusion.

After sending the little girl away, Old Madam Xiao said, "I should have thought of this earlier. Cheng'er brought this girl with her to Pudu Temple at the same time as me. Before returning to the city, she begged me to testify for the girl."

"It is said that this girl was assassinated by her own uncle and fell off a cliff. Seeing how miserable she was at that time, I felt sorry for her. I don't know how much truth and how much lies are there in this."

"If he was a good person, he would send his uncle to jail without any evidence, and drive his aunt and cousins ​​out of the house, leaving them to wander the streets?"

Nanny Yu stood aside, not daring to say a word.

I don't know whether Miss Qin has any evidence, but the second master of the Qin family has personally admitted that he killed the head shopkeeper Qin.

Besides, since the government was able to arrest the second master of the Qin family, it proved that he was not wrongly accused.

But at this moment, no matter how much pity and sympathy she had in the past, in the old lady's heart, they all became means and excuses for Miss Qin to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top.

Madam Xiao became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She said angrily, "Throw away the card she sent you a few days ago. It's better to stay away from this kind of thing."

Nanny Yu did not dare to disobey, so she went to get the card. After asking the old lady for permission again, she melted the gold card, made it into a small gold ingot, and gave it to the servants in the mansion as a reward.

As arrangements had been made in advance, Chen Cheng, the manager of Gushan Manor, cleaned up the place where Qin Shu would live when he returned to the manor on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The convoy set out early in the morning, and when the sun was about to set, the carriages entered the farm.

At this time, the orange-yellow sun was hanging obliquely in the sky, and a thin layer of mist covered the ground.

The air was filled with the smell of dust and cow dung, and there were still farmers returning late at night loosening the soil and applying fertilizer to the fields.

It looks peaceful and tranquil.

It makes people relax involuntarily.

Qin Shu stood in the yard, watching people coming and going in the yard, busy moving things on the carriage, moving the two bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes that Qin Shu bought from the space into the warehouse, and putting away the other items she brought one by one.

Chen Cheng's five-year-old eldest son, Chun Ma's eldest grandson Zhu'er, was running around in the yard. Chen Cheng's wife was leading the work while she had to loudly stop her son's mischief from time to time.

The whole courtyard is filled with the atmosphere of rural life.

Qin Shu couldn't help but laugh, took out a few crisp candies from the sachet, and called Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, come here, I'll give you some candy."

Zhu'er hid behind the carriage, staring at Qin Shu timidly with his pair of dark eyes.

The child couldn't resist the temptation of the candy. He walked quickly to Qin Shu, took the candy from her hand, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. His eyes immediately lit up.

Before she finished eating a piece of candy, Qin Shu had already become good friends with Zhuer.

Zhuer whispered to Qin Shu: "Sister, you are so beautiful."

After a while, he asked again: "Sister, have you ever seen a wild rabbit?"

Qin Shu shook her head, "No."

Zhuer was extremely proud. "I have seen it. I have also seen pheasants and quails. When summer comes, there will be small fish, shrimps, and crabs in the river..."

He suddenly put his hand to his mouth and whispered in Qin Shu's ear: "I also saw two beggars hiding in the pit over there. I didn't even tell my parents, only you, sister."

After saying that, Zhuer raised his little hand and pointed to the west.

A few miles to the west is the village that Chen Cheng mentioned Qin Jingchang had once secretly visited.

Beggar?

Qin Shu's eyes flashed, and she imitated Zhu'er and whispered in his ear, "Take me to see it, okay?"

Zhuer held Qin Shu's hand, winked and waved his little hand.

Qin Shu stood up and looked back to see that everyone else in the yard was busy and not looking over here. She pretended to be walking casually and went out with Zhuer.

After leaving the house, Qin Shu asked Zhuer, "What kind of beggar is that?"

Zhuer led Qin Shu and walked west along a small ditch, saying as he walked, "It's an aunt and a brother."

It should be Liu Yinghua and her son.

Qin Shu knew what they wanted to do by coming to Gushan Manor.

It's just that I don't want to be defeated like this, so I want to try my luck on the farm.

I don’t know whether Zhang Zhuangtou didn’t believe Liu Yinghua, or Liu Yinghua was not able to enter the village at all.

When they were halfway there, Zhuer slowed down his pace. He carefully climbed up a slope with Qin Shu, and then he lay on the ground, pointing his little finger at the bottom of the slope.

Just as Qin Shu was about to look over, she heard Liu Yinghua's voice from below, "Go and see what that person said."

Qin Anwen's voice continued, "He said that if Master Zhang comes, tell him."

Master Zhang should be the head of Zhang Village.

So Liu Yinghua had already asked Qin Anwen to go to the farm over there and pass on the message.

Liu Yinghua added: "It's been two days. If you don't come soon, we will run out of the dry food we brought."

She paused, then said angrily, "Those are the heartless people in your uncle's family. When our family was rich, they gave them so much money. Now that they see our family is in trouble, they are making excuses, fearing that my mother and I will not leave them."

"Wait for Zhang Zhuangtou to come, kill that bitch, return our house and shop, and then find your elder brother and second brother..."

When Liu Yinghua reached this point, her voice became choked with gritted teeth.

A man's voice suddenly sounded, "You're the one looking for me?"
