If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter
Chapter 42: Ghost Light at Night
Liu Yinghua returned to the West Mansion with a happy face. After dismissing the maids in the room, she clapped her hands to Qin Jingchang with a smile on her face, "It's done!"
Qin Jingchang was playing with the jade disk he brought back from the study in the front yard of the East Palace. Hearing this, he hurriedly and carefully placed the jade disk on the table and asked in surprise, "Did she agree?"
Can't? !
There is a world of difference between the Cheng family and the Liu family.
There is no comparison at all.
That damn girl actually agreed to marry Liu Baocai?
Liu Yinghua raised her chin proudly, "I have said it before, an orphan girl, with a bad reputation. If someone breaks off the engagement again, how can she live with the face? Now that someone is willing to marry her, isn't it a pleasure?"
Qin Jingchang still couldn't believe it. He took a deep breath and said, "Do you think she is plotting something? Will she give up the marriage proposal from the Cheng Mansion and agree to marry Baocai?"
It's not that he looks down on his wife's nephew, but his wife's nephew has nothing good to offer except his face.
Liu Yinghua was not happy with this and replied unhappily, "Master, why do you say that? My nephew is also a handsome man. The young ladies and wives in the surrounding villages all praise Baocai when they see him."
Qin Jingchang sneered and said, "Baocai is good-looking, but he was beaten like that that night."
He gestured with his hands on his face, "Can you recognize that it's Baocai? Can you tell that he's a handsome guy?"
Liu Yinghua also thought it made sense and whispered, "What should we do then?"
Qin Jingchang stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said, "Have someone keep a close eye on her these days. As long as we keep her in the mansion, I don't believe she can do anything weird."
"She said she wanted to go to Pudu Temple to pray after her elder brother and sister-in-law passed away, and come back for the fifth seventh day."
Qin Jingchang snorted coldly, "Isn't that perfect? It saves you from having to find an excuse to send her out of the house. Let her go, and then assign a few more maids to guard her and keep a close eye on her."
It’s much more convenient to do it outside than at home!
Besides, as soon as that dead girl leaves the house, he can use the silver to pay off his debt.
That dead girl was in the mansion, and An Tai was not willing to adopt her, so he couldn't bring himself to ask for it.
What's more, An Tai's adoption had already been agreed upon with the clan long ago.
It doesn’t matter whether that dead girl comes back or not.
Liu Yinghua also thought of this and said with a smile, "Master still has a lot of ideas. And regarding An Tai's adoption into the family tree, when do you think you will tell the clan?"
She really had enough of staying in this West Mansion!
The yard is small, the house is narrow, and there are so many people.
If you turn around, you will hit the wall.
The main courtyard of my sister-in-law, the furnishings, the layout, the furniture...
There are also gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins, pearls and jade vases in the warehouse, which are rich and gorgeous.
Compared with this, Xifu is so shabby that it makes people cry!
If Antai is adopted, when Yier gets married, the garden can be converted into two courtyards, one for Antai and the other for Anwen.
After tidying up the West Mansion, I will leave it for Ning'er to get married.
The more Liu Yinghua thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. She couldn't wait to move there today.
Qin Jingchang, however, was relaxed and contented. He picked up the jade disk again, playing with it while saying, "There is no need to rush what has been agreed upon."
As he spoke, he winked at Liu Yinghua.
Liu Yinghua thought about it and immediately understood: after that dead girl left the house, the couple would go over and hide the private property of their sister-in-law and that dead girl in advance.
This will prevent others from seeing it when people from the clan come to count the property of the East Palace.
Money moves people's hearts.
Who knows what greed the old guys in the clan will develop when they see the wealth of the East Mansion?
Half of the shops and land owned by the Duke of Dongfu are already in his own name. How much silver can the remaining ones bring in a year?
Then the supply promised to the clan school before can be reduced by half.
Thinking of this, Liu Yinghua felt relieved immediately.
Thinking of the good days that were about to come, Liu Yinghua felt like she had eaten a popsicle in the dog days of summer. She was so happy that she even laughed out loud in her dreams.
In the East Palace.
Not long after Liu Yinghua left, several pairs of eyes appeared in the East Mansion.
Qin Shu knew that Qin Jingchang became suspicious of her because she agreed to the marriage with the Liu family so quickly.
Judging from the time, my grandma's brother Li Youlin should deliver the remaining jewelry over in the next few days.
If the spies from the Western Palace had been keeping an eye on this place, Qin Jingchang would definitely have discovered something.
She had to find a way to make those eyeliners disappear.
Qin Shu bought ten invisibility talismans from the talisman section of the mobile phone system, and planned to make some noise in the mansion after nightfall.
This is a good opportunity to test how much Liu Weiran knows about this space.
After all, when Qin Shu entered the space for the second time, she received a "gift box" from Miss Julie.
If Liu Weiran had also met Julie and knew about the existence of the plane mobile phone system, she would definitely know that the "haunted" incident in the East Courtyard of the Qin Mansion was caused by Qin Shu.
In that case, her original plan to leave the house might not work.
Qin Antai will still keep vigil for the first half of the night, while Qin Shu will keep vigil for the second half.
The weather was good and the wind started to blow near the hour of Hai.
The sky was very overcast and the north wind was cutting people's faces like a knife, with a hint of coolness in the wind.
It feels like it's going to snow.
Qin Shu took Guo'er to the mourning hall.
The charcoal basin was burning in the mourning hall, making it warm. In the corner of the mourning hall, several quilts were spread on the floor for the filial sons and daughters who were keeping vigil to rest at night.
Just after the hour of Chou, Guo'er was already sitting on the ground wrapped in a quilt, soundly sleeping.
Qin Shu took out an invisibility talisman, stuck it on the inside of her cloak, and then quietly went out from the east side, holding a lantern.
The wind grew stronger, causing the lantern to sway and the candle in it to flicker.
Qin Shu walked and stopped in the front yard, crossed the front courtyard corridor, followed the winding corridor, passed the hanging flower gate, and went to the main courtyard.
After staying in the main courtyard for a while, she slowly went to the East Garden where she lived.
As she was walking, she suddenly felt something strange behind her. She turned around and saw a servant girl named "Dong'er" in the main courtyard, looking at the lantern in her hand with fear on her face.
Qin Shu curled the corners of her lips slightly, holding the lantern and taking two steps towards Dong'er.
Dong'er only saw a swaying lantern "floating" towards her out of thin air. She was so scared that a scream reached the back of her throat, but she couldn't make a sound. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The effect is really good!
Qin Shu didn't feel any sympathy for this girl at all.
The servant who is still hanging around outside in the middle of the night is most likely to have bad intentions.
Who can you blame if you are scared by a "ghost"?
Qin Shu was in a very good mood, holding the lantern and returning to her yard. After thinking for a while, she went to the northeast corner gate again.
I don’t know whether Qin Shu was too lucky or the thief who climbed over the wall was just unlucky.
As soon as the black shadow climbed over the wall, Qin Shu came over with a lantern.
Qin Shu raised the lantern slightly, kindly lighting the way for the thief.
The thief had already passed the wall and was clinging to jump down when he suddenly felt a bright light around him. His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly turned around to take a look.
It doesn't matter if you look at it.
But all I saw was a white lantern floating in the air, swaying slightly.
An amazing strength suddenly burst out of the thief's body, and with the most agile movement since he started stealing, he quickly climbed over the wall and disappeared into the darkness.
From afar, the sounds of "thump, thump" of wrestling could be heard.
There was also the little thief groaning in pain from the fall.
Qin Shu couldn't help but smile.
The low laughter was blown away by the howling north wind, leaving only a faint sigh in the night.
In the duty room behind him, Mrs. Zhuang, who was peeping out through the crack in the door, looked pale. She squatted on the ground silently and bit her fingers between her teeth.
