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

Marrying in place of someone else is a violation of the covenant and a breach of trust.

As soon as the daughter-in-law gets married, he starts to set his sights on her dowry, which is even more despised by the world.

If he suspected that the banknotes were fake again, he would go to Miss Qin, who was married off, to ask for an explanation...

How can the Cheng family live in this world with dignity?

Not to mention that the Cheng family has no intention of working in officialdom for several generations, I am afraid that the spit in this world will be able to drown their family!

In particular, that day Miss Qin broke off the engagement in public and sent her servants to the Cheng Mansion to recover her dowry.

In front of so many onlookers, the Qin clan leader was still comparing the dowry books one by one.

Mrs. Cheng was afraid that the dowry was not enough and the Qin family would make a scene, so she wrote them an IOU for 150,000 taels.

That was a real IOU, not only was it stamped with a private seal, but it was also stamped with a fingerprint.

If the banknotes sent out are fake...

Cheng Mao didn't even dare to think about it.

The silver note and the brocade box were put into the stove of Cheng Mansion.

Before leaving, Cheng Mao sternly warned his children and family members not to provoke Qin Shu again.

Because Grand Tutor Wei asked Cheng Zongyu to bring back a message: as long as Cheng Mao made some achievements in his tenure, there is still a possibility of reinstatement.

If there is trouble again at this critical moment, then his Cheng family will be doomed!

If there is anything, we can talk about it after he makes a comeback.

Cheng Zonghao looked at the blurry figure of the woman on the other side of the lake, and his heart was as complicated as his expression: this woman was his wife-to-be.

If that incident hadn't happened, their wedding would have been in half a month.

*

On the other side of the lake, Qin Shu and other onlookers left in twos and threes, each carrying their own spoils. They gave the powder and cream they had left behind to the dancing and music prostitutes who had come to help, and then took everyone back home.

The remaining two days are enough for the girls to spread the word.

If half of the invitations sent out today are attended, her new store will not lack popularity.

Qingliu and Qingmei were very excited, and they kept chattering in the carriage, "Miss is really smart, and she is the best at everything she does. Miss, don't you realize that even if those girls are not attracted by our rouge and cream, they are also very popular just for our exquisite snacks and milk tea."

Qing Liu smiled and said, "Why don't you open a snack shop? It will definitely sell very well."

Qin Shu smiled slightly: She lacks everything except money.

The shops and land her parents left her would be enough to provide her with a comfortable life even if she just lay down and collected rent.

The purpose of opening a rouge shop was not to make money.

Her destination is the capital.

To be more precise, she was a noble lady in the palace.

Today, there are several young ladies from the Xiao family on the embankment.

But none of the Miss Xiaos came forward to look at her things.

Anyone with sufficient eyes could see that he was trying to avoid suspicion.

Thinking back to the two times Nanny Yu came to the mansion to ask for rouge and cream, she attributed the improvement in the old lady's sleep to the Bodhisattva and did not mention the talisman at all.

I'm afraid that her gratitude and goodwill towards the Xiao family will be regarded by the old lady as her ulterior motives towards Xiao Cheng.

She wanted to introduce her rouge cream to the capital through the Xiao Mansion and thus open up sales channels in the capital, but this approach is probably no longer feasible.

She had to find another way.

The moving carriage suddenly stopped.

Qing Sang called out from outside the carriage, "Miss?"

Qin Shu's cold and emotionless voice came from the carriage, "What's the matter?"

Qingsang looked at Cheng Zonghao who was blocking the carriage with some embarrassment and said, "Someone is blocking the carriage."

Do you want to drive him away?

Cheng Zonghao looked deeply at the quietly lowered curtain and called out in a low voice: "Shu'er?"

Qin Shu felt nauseous and almost vomited.

She rolled her eyes through the car curtain and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Qingsang couldn't help but burst out laughing: You're trying to stick your face everywhere, and now you're sticking to horse hooves, right?

Our eldest daughter doesn’t even know who you are, why are you calling me so dear?

Some passers-by saw it and stopped in curiosity.

Cheng Zonghao's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. Seeing this, he quickly put on an affectionate look and said, "I don't have any other intentions. I just want to see you."

"We were engaged after all. If not... in a few days, we will be married. Have you forgotten, Shu'er?"

Qin Shu sneered and said, "Second Master Cheng, it's more appropriate for you and me to talk about money. Talking about a marriage that has already been canceled is somewhat insulting to money."

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the surroundings.

Cheng Zonghao clenched his fists tightly, looking at the carriage with red eyes, "I have always been looking forward to our marriage, I love you with all my heart..."

"Second Master Cheng!"

Qin Shu interrupted him loudly, "I have eyes, I'm not blind. In public, I wanted to save some face for you. But if you don't want to, then I won't be polite."

"When you came to pay your respects to my parents at their funeral hall, you exchanged glances with Qin Baoyi. Did you really think I couldn't see it?"

"The marriage between the Qin and Cheng families was arranged by our parents and the matchmaker. From beginning to end, you and I only met once at my parents' funeral hall.

"Mr. Cheng was busy flirting with Qin Baoyi at the time, so he probably didn't have time to pay attention to other things, so how could he be sincere?"

"Now our marriage has been called off, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore, and we are both living our own lives. You are coming to me now to vent your feelings, but I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."

"If Mr. Cheng wants to discuss the matter of the Cheng Mansion borrowing 150,000 taels of silver from the Qin Mansion, I will send the mansion's steward to negotiate when I return home later."

"If you want to take advantage of the non-existent friendship in the past and renege on your debt, I'm afraid I need to go to the governor's office and knock on the drum to ask the governor to make the decision."

The onlookers immediately started to murmur, "One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver? What silver?"

Some people thought they had seen the truth, "Could it be the dowry that the second daughter of the Qin family brought into the Cheng Mansion?"

The people around were immediately shocked, "Didn't it return after a few days?"

Qin Shu sneered and said, "Second Master Cheng, do you need someone to help you solve your doubts?"

Cheng Zonghao's face turned pale. He endured for a long time before swallowing his anger and saying, "If a woman breaks off an engagement, it will damage her reputation. If Shu'er can put aside the past grudges, I will ask my mother to invite a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. From now on, I will be wholeheartedly devoted to you..."

Qin Shu couldn't help it and said coldly: "Second Master Cheng! I, Qin Shu, don't have the habit of eating leftovers."

After saying that, he ordered Qingsang, "Go back home! If there are any more scoundrels who try to stop your carriage, beat them out!"

Cheng Zonghao originally planned to create the illusion in public that he and Qin Shu had been secretly in love for a long time.

Then I can invite my mother to come over and play the family card. Maybe this marriage can still go ahead.

After all, he was once her fiancé.

He didn't believe that Qin Shu had never dreamed of or looked forward to this marriage.

An orphan girl, without a father or mother, and without anyone to rely on. As long as he is willing to bow his head and make peace, a family like the Cheng family, even if it is now in decline, is still more than enough for her.

Who would have thought that this woman could be so sharp-tongued and not give him any face at all.

In order to draw a clear line between him and her, he did not hesitate to expose what happened in the mourning hall that day in the street, and even told him about the 150,000 taels of silver.

Why is she so mean?!

Is it glorious to be abandoned by a man and have the engagement broken off by your husband's family?

Anyone who values ​​a clean reputation must be hanged with a rope on the day of being broken off, to show her chastity!

She, on the other hand, is not ashamed of it but proud of it.

I gave her a way out, but she still doesn't know how to appreciate it.

Cheng Zonghao had a sinister look in his eyes, staring coldly at the Qin Mansion's carriage that was moving farther and farther away, and gritted his teeth: Qin Shu, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine, right?

Just wait for me!
