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

Qin Shu walked around the East Garden and slowly returned to the front yard.

On the way back to the front yard, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the East Mansion was particularly quiet tonight.

Before entering the courtyard, she blew out the lantern and groped her way into the room.

Then he returned to the mourning hall from the room.

Guo'er, who was soundly asleep, just uttered a soft mutter.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhuang, who was guarding the northeast corner gate, came to resign.

Qin Shu looked reluctant and said softly, "Madame Zhuang has been in the mansion for more than ten years and has always been diligent. If there is something going on at home, you can be given a few days off. Once the family affairs are settled, you can come back to work."

Mrs. Zhuang was very determined. "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. But my young grandson is weak and has no one to take care of him. I have no other choice."

Qin Shu sighed and said, "Well, since Madam is determined to leave, I can't force her to stay."

She ordered Xiao Xing, "Go get twenty taels of silver for Madam, and bring Madam's indenture. We are master and servant, and Madam, thank you for your concern."

Mrs. Zhuang hesitated and said, "This is the redemption money for the indenture..."

"Mammy is an elder in the mansion. She has been diligently looking after the mansion for so many years. If mother were here, she would definitely agree to return Mammy's indenture to you."

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes were red, and she took the indenture and silver handed over by Xiao Xing with tears of gratitude.

After kowtowed three times to Qin Shu, Mrs. Zhuang withdrew with many thanks.

Qin Shu said to Xiao Xing, "Go and ask who in the mansion still wants to leave. I can make the decision before my parents' 27th birthday. I will return the indentures to them and give them some money to settle down."

She thought for a moment and then said, "You can also take away the things you usually use in the mansion."

Qin Shu's words had just been passed on, and before 9 o'clock, there were already more than a dozen people standing in her yard.

Originally, the East Palace had less than forty servants and more than twenty guards.

When my parents were murdered, the dozen or so guards who went out with them never came back, and my second aunt sold out a dozen more of them when she searched the house.

Most of the servants standing here now are honest people and are not liked by the second aunt. They feel that without the master and the mistress, they have no hope in this mansion in the future.

Of course, there were also people who were frightened by the ghostly lantern last night.

Qin Shu distributed all their indentures.

Each person was also given twenty taels of silver as a gift for settling down.

Everyone kowtowed to Qin Shu and left silently.

In the afternoon, a few servants arrived one after another to leave the house.

Qin Shu also issued indentures and money for settling down.

Qingyue, who was frightened crazy, disappeared.

Qin Shu didn't ask, and her uncle and aunt didn't mention it either.

It is unlikely that a little girl would run away on her own. It is most likely that her second uncle and aunt quietly got rid of Qingyue for the sake of her stepbrother's reputation and future.

If Qin Shu had dismissed the servants in the mansion before Xiaotao and Qingyue were beaten to death, perhaps some people would have wanted to stay.

But after these two things happened, everyone knew that the two masters of the West Mansion were not easy to deal with.

When they heard Qin Shu say that they would sell their bodies and provide money for settling down, almost all the servants chose to leave the house.

Manager Chang also came to Qin Shu's yard.

Chang Guanshi was my mother's chambermaid and was loyal to her. Qin Shu had asked Nanny Chun to tell him about redeeming himself and leaving the mansion as soon as the news of my parents' death came.

As usual, Qin Shu tried to persuade him to stay, returned the indentures of Manager Chang's family to him, and sealed two hundred taels of silver for him.

After Manager Chang and his family left, the only servants left in Qin Shu's courtyard in the entire East Mansion were Nanny Liu, Xiao Xing, and two second-class maids.

There were only two old women and two little maids in the main courtyard.

Then there are the three gatekeepers of the outer courtyard and the two coachmen of the stable.

Accountant Sun was hired from outside. After his stepson entered the mansion and counted the property, he could freely choose to stay or leave.

When Second Aunt heard the news, she rushed over with Aunt Qi, and happened to meet Qin Shu who ordered Xiao Xing to send away the last servant who came to resign.

Liu Yinghua said, "Oh!" and asked, "What do you mean? How can we be dismissed?"

Qin Shu quickly stood up and bowed to Liu Yinghua. "Mrs. Zhuang from the North Gate came to resign today. I thought that after a few days, when the clan leader and my second uncle and my stepbrother come to count the property in the mansion, my second aunt will be the head of the house."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinghua's lips curled up proudly, "Even if Second Aunt is in charge, what's the difference between her and my eldest brother and his wife? I won't be harsh on the servants. After all, those people have served my eldest brother and his wife before, and they are very familiar with the general affairs of the East Palace."

Qin Shu said in a gentle voice: "My niece knows this truth. Second Aunt has always been the kindest person, so she will treat those people well. My niece thinks it's better for these people to leave. If some of them are confused and take advantage of their status as elders in the mansion to make trouble for Qiao, it will make Second Aunt's job difficult."

She helped Liu Yinghua sit down in the first seat, and then continued, "Why not wait until Second Aunt enters the mansion, and then buy some new servants. After they are carefully trained, they will be more handy to use."

Liu Yinghua felt very relieved after hearing these words. She smiled contentedly and happily.

She waved to Madam Qi, took the gold-painted box handed to her by Madam Qi, and placed it on the table beside her.

He opened it and took out a wedding invitation, saying, "Yesterday your second uncle sent a letter to the Liu family. Baocai was so happy that he couldn't wait any longer. He immediately hired a matchmaker and wrote a betrothal letter. It was sent to the West Mansion before noon today."

Liu Yinghua stared at Qin Shu's face carefully and said, "Don't worry, niece. When you get married, Second Aunt will pick out some good dowry left by your eldest sister-in-law and bring it to you."

Qin Shu pretended to be shy and lowered her head slightly to hide the sarcasm in her eyes: Pick some good ones?

In theory, her mother's dowry should belong to Qin Shu.

She just picked out the good things. Considering Second Aunt's nature of valuing money like her life, the thirty-six loads of dowry that she had never seen before in her previous life might have been just some worthless things.

Do you really think she is stupid?

Qin Shu lowered her head slightly, took the engagement letter from Liu Yinghua, and looked at it carefully. In the place where the woman's name should be, it was indeed "Qin Baoyi".

Her fingers gently stroked the three words, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Then, she handed the engagement letter back to Liu Yinghua and whispered, "Second Aunt will make all the decisions for my niece."

Liu Yinghua was so happy that her face was beaming with joy. She grabbed Qin Shu's hand and said, "Oh, you are really my dear niece. In the future, when you become my nephew's wife, we will be even closer relatives. Don't worry, I am here. In the future, if Baocai dares to bully you, just tell Second Aunt and she will take care of it for you."

Qin Shu curled her lips slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are frozen...

In her previous life, she was deceived by her second aunt's sweet words and was sold, but she was still grateful to her second aunt.

If Liu Baocai and Xiaotao hadn't known that she was doomed to die, they would have told her the truth out of pride.

Will she be kept in the dark until her death?

What’s the point even if I’m reborn a hundred times?
