Cheng Zonghao supported Madam Cheng and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Isn't Shu'er's rouge shop opening today? Why is there such a scene?"

Qin Shu laughed sarcastically and said, "Mr. Cheng's appearance at the right time is really perfect."

Unfortunately, the show is over.

She quickly placed a truth talisman on the short-bearded man and asked, "Did he instruct you?"

The short-bearded man replied subconsciously: "Yes."

There was a sudden booing in the store.

Qin Shu put all the truth talismans into the space, returned to stand beside Xiao Cheng and the others, and looked at Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Zonghao who came in with a smile.

Cheng Zonghao had no idea what was going on and thought that everything was going as he had planned.

Seeing Qin Shu looking at him with a smile, he thought he had arrived just in time and said quickly: "Mother knew that your shop was opening today, so she wanted to come and see it. Shu'er, don't be afraid, I..."

"Second Master Cheng." Qin Shu interrupted him with a smile, "Don't pretend. You came a step too late. They have already confessed everything."

Cheng Zonghao looked innocent and tilted his head to ask Mrs. Cheng, "Mother, why don't I understand? Do you understand?"

Mrs. Cheng blushed with shame and anger.

Xiao Cheng sneered and said, "Don't you understand? If you don't understand, I'll tell you. You used the money to instruct these people to drug this little girl and disfigure her. You chose today on purpose to let these people bring her to Miss Qin's shop to cause trouble. Then you showed up at the right time to be a hero and save the beauty, right?"

He laughed, "It's a pity that you came a step too late. They have already confessed."

Cheng Zonghao subconsciously glanced at the short-bearded man.

Xiao Cheng immediately noticed, "Oh, they are quite clear-headed and know which one is the one who takes money to do things. It seems that the brother and sister are telling the truth."

He sighed, "You were the ones who regretted the engagement in the beginning. You despised Miss Qin because her parents had both passed away and she was helpless, so you betrayed her and married someone else. Why, now you regret it and want to go back to her?"

Cheng Zonghao frowned and said unhappily, "Master Xiao Liu, please be careful with your words!"

Xiao Cheng snorted, "I am a very upright young master, why should I be so cautious? Besides, am I wrong? The second young lady of the Qin family is marrying into your house under the name of Miss Qin. Without your consent, this matter cannot be accomplished, right?"

Mrs. Cheng's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears and choked up and said, "Shu'er, it was all our fault back then. It's our Cheng family who is sorry for you."

Qin Shu sneered and said, "Madam Cheng, today is the day my shop opens. You should stop saying such meaningless things in the future, okay? If you have nothing else to do, I will not keep you. If you want to buy something, Qin Shu will let the maid accompany you around."

As he was speaking, Mo Laowu came in with the yamen runners.

With Xiao Cheng and Zhou Yan around, the yamen runners quickly took the four strong men away.

Xiao Cheng looked at Cheng Zonghao jokingly, "Second Master Cheng, why don't you catch up and take a look? If you go too late, you might be exposed as well."

This one sentence made Cheng Zonghao so angry that his face turned blue.

But what Xiao Cheng said was not wrong.

Seeing that he was uneasy, Madam Cheng said to Qin Shu, "In that case, then don't bother Shu'er. If Shu'er needs help, just go and tell your aunt. Although we can't be a family now, your mother and I grew up together after all."

Qin Shu bent her knees slightly.

Mrs. Cheng took Cheng Zonghao away.

The little girl brought by the four men stood in the hall at a loss.

Qin Shu gently held her hand and said softly, "A girl's face is very delicate, how can someone treat it like this? You stay here first, I will treat you. After you go back, don't mess around anymore."

Seeing how timid this girl is and how her brother speaks harshly to her, she must be unpopular at home.

I'm afraid I have no control over what happened today.

When the woman heard what Qin Shu said, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.

After the troublemakers and the Cheng family left, the ladies and young ladies who were watching around began to move around again.

The store returned to its previous bustle.

There is a special place on the first floor for resting and drinking tea.

Xiao Cheng took Zhou Yan to drink tea and wait for Zhou Wan, while Qin Shu went upstairs to continue doing facial for Zhou Wan.

Just after the facial, Qingzhu took Zhou Wan to wash her face when Qingsang came over with the little girl.

The redness and swelling on the little girl's face had subsided a lot, but she still looked scary.

She walked up to Qin Shu and suddenly knelt down.

Qin Shu looked at Qing Sang and asked, "What are you doing, young lady?"

The little girl sobbed softly, raised her head and said, "My name is Yu Cui'er, I am fourteen years old. Do you need any help here?"

She knelt forward a few steps eagerly and said, "Cui'er will do everything, and in the future, she must be loyal to you. If she disobeys, God will strike her with lightning..."

Qin Shu stopped her immediately, "Wait! It's not that I don't want to keep you. I see from your clothes that you don't look like a poor family. You may not have to sell yourself to survive."

Although her clothes were old, they were clean, and the shoes on her feet were even embroidered with flowers.

If she dresses like this, even if her family is poor, she won't have to sell her children.

Yu Cui'er's tears flowed down her cheeks and she sobbed, "Cui'er's family was not wealthy before, but we were still able to get by."

"But ever since my father became seriously ill and my brother failed to live up to his expectations, our family's financial situation has been deteriorating. A few days ago, Cui'er overheard my brother and mother discussing selling Cui'er to a widower in his 50s as a successor."

"My brother's plan has failed this time. I'm afraid Cui'er won't survive after she returns..."

Yu Cui'er bowed her head deeply, touching the ground with her forehead, "Please, young lady, buy Cui'er. Cui'er can do everything and can read a few words. Cui'er swears that she will be loyal to you in the future and will never do anything to let you down. If you break your oath, you will not have a good end!"

Qin Shu looked embarrassed. She could certainly see the situation of this little girl.

But if she wants to stay, she's worried that her family will be a hassle after all.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't lack people here. I can accommodate one more person. If you want to sell yourself, you need to get the approval of your parents and brother, and let them come and talk to me."

Yu Cui'er had already given up hope after hearing the first two sentences, but after hearing the latter part, she was so overjoyed that there was no reason for her to refuse.

She kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you very much, young lady. Thank you very much, young lady. Cui Er will go back and discuss it with her family now."

Only then did Qin Shu let Qingsang help her up.

Zhou Wan walked out of the room, looked at the little girl running out of the store with brisk steps, and snorted coldly, "Female Bodhisattva, you can't even save yourself, and you still want to save others?"

Qin Shu chuckled and said, "As the saying goes, to save yourself you must first save others, and to save others you will eventually save yourself. I believe in cause and effect."

It is difficult for a woman to be born into this world.

She knows herself, so she understands others better.
