If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter
Chapter 45: "Purification" out of the house
Liu Yinghua affectionately took Qin Shu's hand and led her to the East Garden.
As they walked, she said, "My niece is going to the Pudu Temple to pray today, and there are not many useful maids in the mansion. The temple is poor, and there are often male pilgrims staying overnight. You don't even have a maid to serve you personally, and Second Aunt would never want my dear girl to suffer any injustice."
Three days ago, Li Youlin, the wet nurse, showed up at the Qin residence as Qin Shu had said, and took away Nanny Liu and Xiao Xing in front of other people in the residence.
Liu Yinghua waved to the maids and servants following behind her and said, "These are the people around Second Aunt. They are careful and smart. Let them follow my niece, serve her tea, pass on messages, etc."
Qin Shu smiled slightly, "Thank you for your consideration, Second Aunt."
"It would be awkward for us to be so polite to each other."
Liu Yinghua's eyes moved back and forth over the plain clothes Qin Shu was wearing, and she sighed with emotion: "My niece's clothes are too plain, and the fabric is ordinary. My niece is born with delicate skin and tender flesh, and my elder brother and his wife have raised her delicately, how can such rough clothes match her?"
"Yesterday, Second Aunt went to Xieyunfang to buy you two sets of clothes, spending a full three hundred and fifty taels of silver. There were also two sets of Snow Cloud Cocoon linings, which are comfortable and soft."
Qin Shu smiled slightly and listened to Liu Yinghua's chatter with a respectful look.
This kind of snow cloud cocoon material is indeed the best for making linings.
It seems that Second Aunt really spent a lot of money in order to leave the Qin Mansion "penniless"!
Qin Shu had already bathed and changed her clothes before paying tribute to her parents.
At the insistence of her second aunt, Qin Shu had to take the maids from the West Mansion into the inner room, and the maids helped her change into the clothes that her second aunt brought.
After leaving the inner room, Second Aunt pushed Qin Shu to sit in front of the dressing table without saying anything, took off the white velvet flowers on her head one by one, combed her hair, picked up the comb, and said, "My niece has never been away from home for so long. My niece hasn't left yet, but Second Aunt already misses her so much."
As soon as the comb was used, a few long strands of hair immediately got caught on the teeth.
Qin Shu took a deep breath with a hiss.
Liu Yinghua was a little embarrassed and exclaimed, "Look at me. I haven't combed my hair in so many years. I feel rusty now."
Qin Shu pursed her lips and said softly, "It's okay. It's also Second Aunt's love for you. Shu'er understands it all."
She looked at Madam Chun in the mirror and said, "Madam Chun, please help me comb my hair."
Liu Yinghua quickly stepped aside.
Nanny Chun's hands were shaking a little and her eyes were red.
While combing her hair, Qin Shu looked at her second aunt in the mirror, her eyes darting around the room like a thief.
After hearing the news of her parents' death, Qin Shu put away all the furnishings in her room.
The room was like a snow cave, without even a decent flower or plant. It was clean and tidy at a glance.
Nanny Chun quickly combed Qin Shu's hair and picked out a few white pearl flowers from the jewelry box to decorate the bun.
Qin Shu reached out and gently stroked the jewelry box, and said with a lingering look: "This box was made for me by my father when I was twelve years old. He brought fragrant wood from the Western Regions and invited a famous carpenter from the capital."
Liu Yinghua's eyes lit up immediately.
Qin Shu sighed softly and took out a blood jade bracelet from the box.
This blood jade bracelet is of course not the previous one, but a new one that Qin Shu bought at the request of her grandfather Li Youlin.
She caressed the blood jade bracelet lovingly and was lost in thought for a moment.
Only after Second Aunt's slightly impatient urging did she reluctantly put the blood jade bracelet back into the jewelry box.
Then, she handed the box to Mammy Chun and said, "Mammy, please help me put the box in the cabinet in the inner room."
Nanny Chun quickly agreed, took the key handed over by Qin Shu, and entered the inner room.
Liu Yinghua winked at Madam Qi, and Madam Qi hurriedly followed her in.
After watching Nanny Chun put the jewelry box into the cabinet and lock it, Nanny Qi followed Nanny Chun out.
Liu Yinghua smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late. The carriage in the mansion has been waiting for a long time. Your second uncle and I have prepared all the things you need when you arrive at the temple. Your niece doesn't need to prepare anything else."
Qin Shu immediately stood up, thanked her, and handed her hand to Nanny Chun.
Nanny Chun's hands were shaking violently and were icy cold.
Qin Shu held Nanny Chun's hand and squeezed it gently.
The two men walked out of the mansion and saw a carriage parked outside.
The coachman was Liu Daniu from Xifu, a native of Liujia Village.
There were six guards, two old women and two maids beside the carriage.
Before getting on the carriage, Qin Shu suddenly stopped, turned back again, and looked deeply at the tall gate of her house, the black and red riveted door, and the familiar hitching post in front of the door.
Watching the gate of the East Palace slowly close in front of him.
In the previous life, the hitching post on the east side was stained with Nanny Chun’s blood.
The stone pillar seemed to understand the injustice of Nanny Chun's unrepentant death, and the blood that seeped into the stone pillar could not be washed away no matter how hard you tried.
Fortunately, it will never happen again in this life!
Qin Shu's eyes were slightly moist. She lowered her eyes and handed her hand to Nanny Chun. She pushed hard with her feet, bent down and entered the carriage.
Just as the two of them sat down, two more maids came up.
Nanny Chun's face darkened and she was about to speak, but Qin Shu was quick to hold her hand.
Nanny Chun looked at her and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth reluctantly.
Deceiving too much!
Really, this is too much!
God is blind, why didn't he take those wicked people away? !
On the contrary, it is the master and his wife...
Nanny Chun pinched up her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes.
The carriage started moving slowly, and the home where she had lived for fifteen years became farther and farther away in Qin Shu's eyes.
Gradually turned into a small, blurry dot.
When we reached Main Street, the carriage turned south.
When passing by the Qin family's shop, Qin Shu noticed that the shop owner and the clerk were standing in front of the door, watching them leave silently.
Qin Shu felt sour and painful in her heart, and her nose was achy and uncomfortable. She was afraid that tears would flow out uncontrollably, so she quickly closed her eyes and lowered the car curtain.
The carriage rolled forward and soon left the inner city gate.
When we arrived at the outer city, the carriage moved faster.
Just after noon, we left the outer city.
Pudu Temple is located in Luoxia Mountain, southwest of Jinzhou City, nearly a hundred miles away from Jinzhou City. On the way, you need to stay for one night in a village along the way.
It is now the end of the year and the New Year is only half a month away.
It gets dark early in winter, and people who go out return home early too.
When there was still a ray of afterglow on the horizon, the number of people on the road gradually decreased.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves approached from behind, and there was a faint shout, "Hey, those in front, get out of the way!"
Liu Daniu didn't react and stretched his neck to look back.
I saw someone riding a horse galloping towards me from behind, and behind him there were a dozen men in black riding horses chasing after him.
The man in front quickly arrived beside the carriage and passed between several guards of the Qin Mansion.
As if to allow the Qin Mansion's carriage to hinder the pursuers behind for a moment, the man suddenly slapped the horse's neck hard when riding past the Qin Mansion's carriage.
