After Xiaotao sent her second aunt out, Qin Shu asked Xiaoxing to guard outside the door.

When only Qin Shu and the two maids were left in the room, Qin Shu looked at Madam Chun and asked softly, "Madam, do you know where mother usually keeps her shop contracts?"

Nanny Chun stood up quickly and whispered, "These things are usually managed by me. I will go get them for you, young lady."

Qin Shu said, "Madam, please wait a moment. Second Aunt has just left, so I'm sure she will have someone pay attention to what's going on here."

When Nanny Chun heard this, she understood what Qin Shu meant, and her eyes instantly turned red. "I understand. I will bring it to the young lady early tomorrow morning."

He also advised: "Now that things have come to this, Miss, you should take good care of yourself. Otherwise, the spirits of the master and mistress in heaven will probably be worried and uneasy..."

Qin Shu quickly agreed and said, "Shu'er understands. It's too late and cold, Madam, please go back and rest. From now on, Shu'er will have to count on Madam to help me make decisions."

Nanny Chun responded with sobs.

After Nanny Chun left, Nanny Liu sat next to Qin Shu and said in a low voice, "Miss, now that the master and his wife are gone, and the uncle is in poor health and far away. The second master and the second mistress said that they are brothers with the master and came to the mansion to help."

"From my perspective, she doesn't look like she will leave right after helping out... Money can make people's hearts flutter. The young lady's dowry is all in the warehouse, and she doesn't have any brothers to help her. She has to be more careful."

In her previous life, her wet nurse had advised her in the same way.

But at that time, she was heartbroken and hopeless, and she only wished she could go with her parents.

In addition, Second Aunt is usually very kind, approachable and enthusiastic.

When Qin Shu was heartbroken after losing both her parents suddenly, she hugged her and said sweet words like "You are my dearest child, I can't bear the pain", and then she handed over all the affairs in the mansion to her second aunt.

Later, the nanny tried to persuade her again, but Xiao Tao overheard it and told her second aunt.

The second aunt first confessed her caring and thoughtfulness, and then said that she worked hard for a long time but did not gain any credit, and was instead suspected by others. Then she repeatedly criticized the wet nurse, excluded her and suppressed her.

Qin Shu didn't want to make things difficult for the wet nurse, so when her brother came to pay tribute to his parents, she gave the wet nurse a contract to sell her body and let the wet nurse and her daughter Xiao Xing leave the house.

From then on, she was completely under the control of her second aunt.

The loyal servants and maids were either driven away or sold by the second aunt.

Finally, in the mansion, without the order from the second aunt, Qin Shu could not even say a word outside the yard.

Never again in this life!

Qin Shu held Madam Liu's hand and whispered, "Madam, I have kept your words in mind. Madam, where is my brother now?"

Madam Liu asked, "Do you have something to ask him? Youlin sent a letter a few days ago saying that he has arrived in Changyuan and is about to come to Jinzhou. If you need him, Madam Liu will send a message to him and ask him to come back as soon as possible."

Qin Shu really had something to ask him, so she said without hesitation, "Okay, Nanny, write to Brother as soon as possible."

Xiao Xing brought her maid in and helped Qin Shu wash her face, change her clothes, and lie down on the couch.

Nanny Liu was resting in the compartment.

The cotton curtain hanging from the window blocked the newly pasted screens on the window drawer, so one could not see the newly hung lanterns in the yard outside that were made of white cotton gauze.

All the colorful decorations in Qin Shu's room have been put away.

The gilded lotus lampstand on the table beside the couch was also replaced with an ordinary white candle.

In the dark night, it emits a hazy and cold white light.

This scene happened a lifetime ago, but it seems like yesterday.

After calming down, Qin Shu felt her forehead throbbing with severe pain.

This was the news that both her parents were killed by bandits. She couldn't bear the shock and fainted on the ground. Her head hit the stone steps, leaving a big cut.

If she could have come back earlier, could her parents have avoided the banditry and survived?

But she knew that was impossible.

It is not up to her to decide when to come back.

The next priority is to take control of my parents' private property.

And her dowry...

As Qin Shu thought about it, she habitually stroked the blood jade bracelet on her wrist.

This blood jade bracelet was brought back by my father from Nanzhao.

I used a whole piece of jade to make a set of head ornaments for my mother, and the remaining seeds were used to make jewelry for Qin Shu.

Among them is this blood jade bracelet.

The next day after she married Liu Baocai and recognized her relatives, Liu Baocai's sister asked her for it in front of everyone.

Only then did she realize that there really were people who had no shame, who didn't care whether others loved it or not, and would just ask for anything they liked.

She couldn't refuse, but she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't recover for a long time.

Fortunately, the bracelet is still on her wrist.

In this life, no one should ever take anything away from her!

Qin Shu raised her hand and looked at the jade bracelet carefully in the candlelight outside the tent, only to find that there seemed to be some extra silk-like objects in the blood jade bracelet?

She lifted the curtain, sat down beside the couch, and looked carefully in the candlelight: there were indeed some more golden threads in the blood jade bracelet.

It was just a blood jade bracelet of excellent quality before, but now it has grown gold threads?

Just when Qin Shu was concentrating all her energy on the blood jade bracelet, her brain was in a trance and her eyes flashed. Then she found that she had arrived in a strange place.

It is clearly the middle of the night, but it is as bright as day here.

There is no sun in the sky and the ground is covered with fine sand.

There is no wind and no clouds.

There is a spring not far away from your feet. The spring is as big as a well. You can see the bottom of the water, and it is slightly shimmering.

Where is this?

Isn't she in her boudoir?

As Qin Shu was thinking this, her eyes darkened and she found herself back in her boudoir.

Thinking about that place again, the man appeared beside the spring again.

Qin Shu's heart was pounding. She looked around and saw that there was nothing here except a spring.

It was as desolate as the desert that my father had once described.

She was about to leave, but then she thought again, squatted down, scooped up a mouthful of spring water and took a sip.

The spring water is cool and sweet, without any peculiar smell.

There's nothing special about it.

Qin Shu heard slight footsteps outside the door, and quickly slipped out, pretending to fall asleep on the couch.

But my heart was extremely uneasy.

There must be something special about that place!

what exactly is it?

There were footsteps suddenly coming towards this side, but they stopped when they reached Qin Shu's door.

Before Qin Shu could say anything, the door creaked slightly and Xiao Xing quickly walked out.

Then, Qin Shu heard Xiao Xing's voice scolding in a low voice, "Mrs. Shengda? What are you doing here so late?"

The voice of the person outside the door was so buzzing that it was unclear, "It turned out to be Miss Xiao Xing."

The visitor stood on tiptoe and looked through the crack in the door. "Nothing. We just ran out of burlap for the funeral shed in the front yard. I came here to ask for advice."

Xiao Xing replied eloquently, "Isn't it the Second Madam who makes the decisions in the mansion now? You should ask the Second Madam about this matter."

After a pause, Xiao Xing continued, "Even if there is not enough linen, what's the point of you coming to see the young lady in the middle of the night? Can the young lady still make some linen for you?"

The visitor said with a smile, "Look at Miss Xiao Xing's mouth, it's really as sharp as a knife. Miss, if you don't understand, I'll ask Madam Chun and it's the same. Isn't Madam Chun here?"

Xiao Xing spat at her fiercely and said, "I told you that the young lady had gone to bed. Are you deaf, blind, or confused?! If you keep on nagging, I'll report to the Second Madam and ask where to buy linen for you in the middle of the night."

Nanny Liu quietly got off the couch and tiptoed out the door.

After closing the door, he scolded, "Mr. Sheng, you are really becoming more and more unruly! Do you think you can just enter the young lady's yard? I might have to go to the second wife to talk to her tomorrow! The master and the mistress just passed away, and no matter what kind of despicable thing in this mansion, they can climb up to the young lady and bully her!"

The Sheng family smiled smugly, "Oh, elder sister, this is not allowed. I am confused, please don't tell the second wife. I will go back now, I will go back now."

As he said this, he walked out of the yard, looking back every few steps.

Nanny Liu pulled Xiao Xing by the hand and they both went into the house together.

The yard became quiet again.

Qin Shu's eyes flashed with a cold light: What a bunch of people with wicked ambitions. Her parents' coffins haven't even returned home yet, but they've already started preparing to take over the magpie's nest? !

dream!

In this life, even if she risks her life, she will never let them get what they want!

Qin Shu waited for Madam Liu to fall asleep before coming to the space again.

This space is different from the outside. The air here is warm. Although there is no wind, it doesn't feel stuffy.

On the contrary, every time I breathe, my body feels very comfortable.

It was as if there were many holes in the body, constantly breathing the air here.

The comfortable souls are sighing!

Qin Shu looked at the space that was as big as two warehouses and thought: It would be great if I could hide her dowry here.

And there is the black orchid in her boudoir. She has raised it for so long. If she leaves the house and cannot take it with her, wouldn't it give those villains an advantage?

As he was thinking this, a pot of black orchid suddenly appeared on the ground.

Qin Shu was shocked, but then overjoyed: Could it be that as long as she sent in whatever she wanted, she could take it in?

She thought about her dowry again, but nothing happened.

Then I thought about the jewelry box I had placed on the dressing table, and sure enough, the jewelry box appeared in the open space next to it.

It also automatically avoided the pot of black orchid.

It seems that if you want to store something, the distance should not be too far.

Very good!

Qin Shu looked at Molan and the jewelry box on the ground. The problem that had been bothering her could be solved!

She left the space and imagined moving Molan out.

Then she saw as she wished, the black orchid appeared silently on the flower stand next to it.

Even Nanny Liu, who was lying not far away, didn't notice it!

Qin Shu stroked the blood jade bracelet, tears streaming down her face: Dad, Mom, could it be that you two know that your daughter will have a hard time without your protection, is this a sign from heaven?

So you gave your daughter such a magical thing?

Liu vaguely heard sobbing sounds coming from the inner room and sighed silently: It's hard for an orphan to live.

My parents left behind such a large family business and so much wealth.

Those who usually only dare to envy will probably pounce on you like wolves.

How could a little girl be a match for these jackals?
