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

A fat woman said while eating melon seeds, "My distant cousin used to work in the Qin Mansion. It was said that the second master and second wife of Qin were smiling and humble in front of the first master and first wife of the East Mansion all day long. The first master scolded the second master like he was scolding a servant."

The people around were filled with righteous indignation, "That's why Miss Qin was taught to be so arrogant and shameless."

The woman continued, "Ms. Qin is also arrogant in front of the Second Madam and the Second Young Lady, saying that every time the Second Young Lady goes to the East Palace, she cries when she comes back."

Several people nearby said at the same time: "Oh, this is too bullying."

"that is!"

The peddler standing on the other side, carrying a basket of vegetables, spat heavily on the ground and said, "If you ask me, the Cheng family is the best at judging people. This second Miss Qin is much better than the first Miss Qin. Her father and brother are both scholars. The eldest brother is a juren, and the second brother is also a scholar."

This sentence instantly resonated with the crowd. "Master Qin is a very humble person on weekdays. He is well-educated and speaks elegantly. The children he raised must be good too."

Someone asked in confusion: "Didn't the eldest master support the second master's education?"

The people around him immediately disagreed, "They are all brothers. It is only natural for the elder brother to support his younger brother's education, isn't that right?"

Someone looked at the center, and suddenly raised his hand and patted the people around him, "Stop talking, stop talking, listen quickly, what are they saying?"

The crowd gradually quieted down.

Cheng Mao said, "Marriage is the decision of parents and matchmakers. Since your parents are not around, your uncle is the real elder. Since you have told your uncle that you already have someone you like and do not want to marry into the Cheng family, I naturally do not want to force you."

There was a commotion among the crowd:

"As expected, he really is having an affair with someone!"

"Shame on you! Bitch!"

"She actually had the nerve to come back. Why didn't she die outside?"

"If I had a daughter like this, I would be so ashamed!"

Qin Shu's face flushed with shame and anger, and she shouted back, "Sir! How can you accuse me of having an affair? Since I was young, I have been taught by my parents to behave myself and keep myself clean. I have never had any contact with any other man, let alone an affair with anyone!"

Cheng Mao was puzzled. "Isn't this about you and the young master of the Liu family..."

Qin Shu immediately looked disgusted and replied, "Are you talking about my second aunt's nephew Liu Baocai? That night, Liu Baocai sneaked into my garden in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the big brothers that Cao Gang leader Yue left for me to guard the garden helped me. They captured him and handed him over to my second uncle for custody."

"This matter can be witnessed by several big brothers of the Cao Gang and the maids in my house. If you don't believe me, I can ask someone to send a message and ask several big brothers of the Cao Gang to testify in court!"

The people on the street were silent, all with a look of fullness on their faces: This isn't right, why is it different from what was rumored?

Qin Shu's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked scared. "The next morning, my second uncle, at my insistence, escorted him to the government office. If the thief climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, it means that the woman had an affair with him. Then, wouldn't every thief in the world be able to marry a daughter of a famous family?"

Ji Wei laughed, "That makes sense."

Cheng Mao was embarrassed, and he coughed lightly and said, "In that case, you go back first, and I will find out the truth before making a decision."

Oh, go back?

Find out the truth?

The so-called finding out the truth is nothing more than allowing Qin Jingchang to spread rumors and slander and throw dirty water on her.

The matter of Liu Baocai had already become known to the whole city due to the exaggeration and deliberate spread of the matter by Qin Jingchang's family.

She is just an orphan girl, her voice is not taken seriously. Even if she had mouths all over her body, how could she tell right from wrong amidst all the controversy?

If she couldn't confront Qin Jingchang and his wife in the street in public, who would believe her even if she had been wronged?

She has waited too long for this opportunity today, how could she just let it go?

Someone in the crowd coughed softly.

Qin Shu immediately raised her voice and said, "My cousin and I grew up together, just like real sisters. Since ancient times, a woman's reputation is more important than anything else. My cousin has been in the mansion for many days. If you send my cousin back to her mother's home, how can my cousin live in this world with dignity?"

"Since my cousin has already entered the mansion, and the dowry has been sent in, it can be considered as the marriage agreement between the Cheng and Qin families."

"Some time ago, my parents died in an accident, and it was my second uncle and second aunt who took great pains to take care of the funeral."

"I am deeply grateful to my second uncle and his family, and I feel I have no way to repay them. My Lord, please return the engagement letter to me, and I will consider the dowry as my gift to my cousin, so as to fulfill the love we have as sisters."

"Both my parents are dead. I am an unlucky person. I am definitely not worthy of being a match for Mr. Cheng..."

"Bitch! What are you talking about?!"

A loud shout suddenly interrupted Qin Shu's words.

Then her arm was grabbed fiercely by someone, and with a gust of palm wind, there was a crisp "pa" sound, and Qin Shu was knocked far away.

The crowd watching suddenly cried out in surprise.

Qin Shu raised her head from the ground. Her left cheek was swollen with several finger marks and the corner of her mouth was also broken.

It can be seen how much force was used in this slap.

Qin Shu covered her face and stood up shakily. She was as delicate as a willow in the wind, with tears in her eyes. She asked sadly, "Why did my second uncle beat my niece without asking any questions as soon as we met?"

Qin Jingchang's face was livid, and he stared at Qin Shu fiercely, wishing he could pierce her with his eyes, "Rebellious girl! The funeral of my elder brother and sister-in-law has not yet been completed, and you have disregarded filial piety and the virtues of a woman, and eloped with someone during the mourning period! Is this what your parents taught you?!"

"Uncle!" Qin Shu screamed, "In broad daylight, why would Uncle slander his niece like this?!"

"My niece went to the Pudu Temple to pray for her parents after their 27th day of death, and my second uncle and second aunt knew about it. The clothes, jewelry, carriage and other items she took with her out of the house were all purchased by my second uncle and second aunt personally."

"The maids and the escort drivers who accompanied Shu'er out of the mansion were all personally appointed by my second uncle and second aunt."

"Even the clothes she wore when she went out were bought by Second Aunt herself, and she watched Shu'er change them with her own eyes. May I ask Second Uncle, how did Shu'er elope? And with whom did she elope?!"

Oh, these words contain a lot of information.

After changing clothes, she naturally couldn't take them out of the house. This meant that the girl wasn't going to be allowed to take anything out secretly.

It is hard to say whether the purpose of arranging maids as entourage is to escort or to monitor.

With such tight protection, how could such a weak girl escape from these people and elope with others?

It seems that the Qin Mansion is full of useful information!

The secrets of the wealthy families are indeed huge!

The eyes of the onlookers around suddenly lit up, more people were pushing forward, the space in the middle became smaller, and the voices became clearer.

"What are you looking at? What's there to see? Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Liu Yinghua's voice came from outside the crowd.

Soon, she walked past the crowd, approached Qin Shu, and hugged her, "Oh my dear, your uncle is too worried about you. Look, he was so anxious that he accidentally hit you."

Liu Yinghua deliberately said loudly: "Do you know that we have been looking for you for many days? We have searched everywhere in the surrounding area and still couldn't find you. You didn't even come back for your parents' fifth and seventh day of the fifth month of the seventh month. Where on earth have you been?"
