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

Other things can be planned slowly.

Right now, she needed to get her second uncle's permission to go and keep vigil for her parents.

Qin Shu's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm: A biological daughter needs to get permission from outsiders to keep vigil for her parents...

She suppressed her hatred and said to Aunt Liu, "Nanny, please call Xiao Xing in. I want to change my clothes and go to the mourning hall."

Nanny Liu quickly agreed and called Xiao Xing in.

After changing into plain clothes and tying her hair up again, Qin Shu asked Nanny Liu to stay and look after the house, and she went to the front yard with Nanny Chun and Xiao Xing.

When she reached the second gate, Qin Shu was stopped by someone.

The man was a young servant who was unfamiliar to me. His attitude was extremely domineering. "The young lady is still ill, and she refuses to see a doctor. The second master has ordered that he will take care of the funeral of the first master and the first mistress. The young lady should go back..."

Qin Shu stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped the servant hard in the face, "You little dog slave, the territory you are standing on is my East Palace! I am the legitimate eldest lady of the East Palace, when will it be your turn as a vicious dog to bark here?! Get out of here!"

She pushed hard, causing the boy to stagger.

While the servant was still not able to react, Qin Shu took Nanny Chun and Xiao Xing and left quickly.

The front yard was brightly lit with candles. The maids and servants in my parents' yard were all wearing linen clothes and sitting together in groups of three or five, whispering.

There was no one in the mourning hall, and there was not a speck of ash in the treasure bowl in front of the coffin!

These bastards, their parents treated them well in the past.

Now that the master's coffin is still here, these bastards have started to slack off!

Qin Shu stood at the entrance with a stern face. Before she could say anything, she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind her.

She turned around and saw her second uncle with a gloomy face, rushing over with her second aunt.

I guess he received the report from the gatekeeper and came to find her to question her.

Qin Shu's eyes turned red and tears fell like beads from a broken string.

She sobbed, and like a young swallow, she suddenly threw herself into Second Aunt's arms, crying out in grief, "Second Aunt, look, you are in charge of the affairs of the mansion now, and these slaves take advantage of you because you are not a proper master and do not take you seriously. There is not even incense, candles, or paper money in front of my parents' coffins! Do they think that saving the money for burning paper money can put more money into their pockets? Those who know think that these slaves are lazy, and those who don't think that Second Aunt is reluctant to burn paper money for my parents."

This fall and cry made Liu Yinghua cry and bewilder her: What's going on? Didn't you say you were very arrogant just now?

She looked at her husband with her eyes and comforted him with words that didn't mean what she said, "Don't worry, niece. You have your aunt here. She will take care of things for you!"

Seeing Qin Shu's tears and snot rubbing against her body, Liu Yinghua quickly found an excuse to push Qin Shu away, pointed at the maids and servants kneeling in the yard and shouted, "You dogs are always lazy and sloppy. You don't care about your master's business. Just beat you all to death!"

There was a chorus of begging for mercy from the audience.

Second Aunt snorted, "Go up and see if the incense, oil, paper money, and white candles have been bought. If you drag your feet like this, you would have been beaten up in our West Mansion a long time ago. Why are you still keeping a bunch of unruly people eating for free?"

After Second Aunt had finished showing off, Qin Shu looked at Second Uncle.

Facing her second uncle's probing gaze, Qin Shu sobbed and knelt down in front of him, "Second uncle, I was angry before and said something I didn't think should be said, which offended you. I hope you will be magnanimous and not take a junior like me seriously."

Qin Jingchang said nothing and looked at Qin Shu coldly.

Qin Shu just kept kneeling and saluted without standing up.

Until her body began to sway slightly, Qin Jingchang said indifferently, "I am your uncle. Without your father, I am your elder! When your elder brother was alive, he doted on you and couldn't bear to restrict you too much, which is why you have developed such a talkative, disrespectful and unruly character."

After saying this, Qin Jingchang looked at Qin Shu coldly. Seeing that there was no change in her expression, he continued, "The rules in my uncle's house have always been strict. I cannot tolerate such wanton, disobedient and unfilial behavior, so I just gave you a little punishment. I hope my niece can understand my uncle's love and care. In the future, the two houses of the East and the West will prosper together and suffer together. My niece's words and deeds will also affect the reputation of my younger brothers and sisters. Don't do this in the future!"

His words and deeds were full of ridicule for Qin Shu's lack of manners, and he even criticized his father!

Qin Shu was furious, but her face was filled with guilt. "I have taken note of your teachings, uncle. In the future, please teach me more, uncle and aunt."

Qin Jingchang's eyes flashed with pride, and he put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Okay, go put on your mourning clothes and burn some incense for your parents."

Qin Shu's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she choked up and said, "Yes."

Qin Jingchang walked past Qin Shu towards the mourning hall. When he passed by Nanny Chun, he glanced at her lightly.

The coldness in that gaze was like a knife scraping at bones, and it made Nanny Chun shiver.

Qin Shu followed behind her second uncle and gently held Nanny Chun's hand.

When Qin Shu entered the mourning hall and saw her parents' coffins, she couldn't stop crying.

She walked around the coffin and found that the lid was not nailed shut, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Xing and Guo Er took the hemp clothes and dressed her neatly, Qin Shu knelt in front of the coffin, took the paper money handed over by Nanny Chun, and put it in the basin one by one, crying softly: "Dad, Mom, your daughter will burn some ghost money for you. You two take the money and send away the ghost messengers passing by."

As the fire burned, Qin Shu became overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.

She crawled on her knees, supported her mother's coffin, and cried, "Mom, mom, if you and dad are still alive, please tell me who hurt you. Dad, mom, please come and see me, okay? Please don't abandon me..."

Nanny Chun followed suit and cried loudly, and sporadic cries were also heard outside the hall.

Second Aunt had white cloth tied around her head and waist, howling all the way. She came in with her three sons and a daughter, and knelt in front of the coffin, howling without tears for a while.

As soon as the maid stood outside the door, Second Aunt immediately stood up and walked out.

Qin Baoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up and called her, "Mom, I..."

"Kneel here!"

Second Aunt lowered her voice and gave a warning through gritted teeth, glancing in the direction of Qin Shu.

Qin Baoyi understood, lowered her head, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and began to cry bitterly.

The second cousin was also dressed in mourning and knelt in front of Qin Shu.

After a while, people from the big kitchen brought over dinner.

The owner had just passed away, so all the meals in the house were vegetarian.

Qin Baoyi pouted, picked up the food in the bowl, and threw the chopsticks onto the tray.

Qin Shu had no appetite and did not touch the dinner in front of her.

At night, only Qin Shu and Nanny Chun were left in the mourning hall.
