Qin Shu pushed Liu Yinghua away and looked at her sarcastically, "What are you talking about, Second Aunt? Your niece doesn't understand."

"That day, my niece's carriage was attacked by an assassin as soon as it left the city. The horse got startled, and my niece and the horse fell into the stream."

"At that time, Master Xiao was escorting Madam Xiao to the temple to worship Buddha and happened to pass by. If Master Xiao hadn't risked his life to save her, my niece would have died by now."

As she spoke, she bowed to Xiao Cheng who was standing beside her.

Xiao Cheng also bowed slightly.

Qin Shu continued, "The guard was killed, the driver escaped, the two maids and two servant girls were killed, and the carriage fell into the water. My niece was alone, and it was too late to return to the city, so she had to follow Madam Xiao to the Pudu Temple."

"During this period, no one has ever entered the temple to look for my niece, and no one has informed my niece to hold a 57th day sacrifice for her parents in advance."

Just as Xiao Cheng was about to step forward to speak, an elderly nanny nearby reached out and grabbed him, and gently shook her head at him.

The nanny stepped forward and said softly, "I am Nanny Yu who is by Madam Xiao's side. What Miss Qin said is all true. The old lady just passed by in her carriage. If this lady doesn't believe it, she can go to the Xiao Mansion and ask Madam Xiao in person."

The old lady of the Xiao family is the aunt of Concubine Xiao in the palace.

Who dares to question her?

Isn't that just being impatient with life?

As soon as Nanny Yu finished speaking, the crowd suddenly became agitated.

Someone whispered, "She was attacked as soon as she left the mansion. They didn't even look for her, but married her daughter to him. Did they think their niece would never come back?"

"Whether he was certain that he couldn't come back, or whether he knew it a long time ago, it's hard to say."

"That's right. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Miss Qin ran into an assassin right after she left the city?"

"An orphan girl left the city. What hatred or grudge did she have? She didn't do it for money or sex, but just to kill people?"

"Without Miss Qin, these dowries will be ownerless."

"How can it be considered ownerless? Didn't she marry into the Cheng Mansion with Miss Qin Er?"

The onlookers were whispering to each other, and there was a buzz of voices.

Qin Jingchang's face was gloomy and he stared at Qin Shu.

The reason why he was not in a hurry to find Qin Shu was because the assassin who attacked him on the day he left the house was arranged by someone else.

All the people who escorted the dead girl out of the city have not returned, and Zhang Zhuangtou has not given him any news.

He subconsciously thought that Qin Shu was afraid and hid herself.

During this period, he was exhausted by this series of events, and his hatred for the dead girl had already reached his head.

I heard that this damn girl suddenly showed up and asked to cancel the engagement in front of the deposed envoy and the people in the city. The substitutionary marriage could not be concealed, and the change of household registration became a bubble...

The rapidly rising anger instantly burned away his remaining sanity.

As soon as we met, I wanted to kill her with a knife. Even slapping her wouldn't satisfy me.

I couldn't control the strength of my attack.

But he never thought that he would accidentally fall into the trap of this damn girl again.

Qin Shu continued, "Today, my niece just returned to the city and heard the news that my second uncle married his cousin to the Cheng Mansion."

"Since my cousin has married Mr. Cheng, my marriage with the Cheng family is naturally invalid. Seeing that Mr. Cheng is here, I thought of asking the Cheng Mansion to return my engagement letter."

Qin Shu looked at Qin Jingchang, "I never thought that when my second uncle came, he slapped my niece without saying anything, and said that my niece eloped with someone, and he always said that my parents didn't teach me well..."

Qin Shu was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Second Uncle, my father is your biological elder brother. Over the years, has he ever treated you unfairly?"

"You said you were a scholar, but you didn't do any work or farming. What food, clothing, shelter, and daily necessities in the entire mansion were all bought by your father? Have the expenses of the three cousins ​​ever been short from the time they were first educated until now?"

"My parents' bodies are still warm, but you've repeatedly used upbringing as an excuse, insulting them in every way you say! Have you ever had any respect for them?"

Liu Yinghua immediately said sarcastically, "Oh, my niece, what you said is a bit heartless. When did we forget the kindness of your parents?"

"If you hadn't behaved improperly first, would your second uncle have said such a thing? He is your biological second uncle. How can we look good if you do such a shameful thing?"

"what!"

Qin Shu's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like a madman. She laughed loudly and said, "I did something improper? May I ask, Second Aunt, what did I do? How was it improper? What shameful things did I do?"

Liu Yinghua had never seen Qin Shu so crazy and so sharp-tongued, and was frightened by the burning hatred in her eyes.

She took a step back and stammered, "You, you..."

Qin Shu sneered and interrupted her, "This is improper behavior. Second Aunt is talking about Liu Baocai, right?"

"My parents hadn't been buried yet, and he climbed over the wall to get into the house in the middle of the night. He was caught and beaten up by the eldest brother of the Cao Gang. My second aunt said he was a relative, my second uncle said I was making trouble for no reason, and Liu Baocai's sister came up and pointed at my nose and called me vicious."

"Excuse me, Second Aunt, where did I behave improperly? Is it because I didn't do what you wanted?!"

"Today, the engagement was cancelled. Lord Cheng said that my second uncle told him that I didn't want to marry into the Cheng Mansion because I already had someone I loved."

"But why did Second Aunt tell me that day that it was because Liu Baocai climbed over the wall of my house in the middle of the night and ruined my reputation that the Cheng family was determined to cancel the engagement?"

"I wanted to return the engagement letter and cancel the engagement, but Second Aunt refused."

"Didn't Second Aunt say that if my engagement was broken off, it would affect the other unmarried sisters of the Qin family?"

"Didn't Second Aunt say that Second Uncle had been negotiating with Master Cheng for a long time before Master Cheng agreed not to cancel the engagement and marry Qin's daughter, but he didn't agree to marry me?"

"Didn't Second Aunt say that your nephew Baocai has good character and is well-educated, and is the best match in the world?"

"Did Second Aunt also say that my cousin had to sacrifice herself to marry into the Cheng Mansion in my name in order to protect my reputation?"

"She said she couldn't hold her head up without a dowry, and she said she brought my dowry with her into the Cheng Mansion, and when she has established herself, she will definitely not forget to help me, right?"

Qin Shu approached step by step and asked loudly: "How come now, all this has become my fault?"

She sneered and asked, "Although I am a weak woman, I am upright. What kind of person is Liu Baocai? How dare he dream of marrying me, Qin Shu? He doesn't even think about whether he is worthy of her?!"

After he finished speaking, the crowd around him burst into laughter.

How could an illiterate country boy with no achievements be better than the second son of a governor?

Marrying a pampered rich girl to a poor country boy is actually a rare good marriage?

Are you treating the girl as a fool?

No, this is something that even a fool would spit at her!

When Liu Yinghua heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She spat at Qin Shu fiercely and said, "It was because of your fickleness that my nephew Baocai climbed over the wall to meet you in the middle of the night!"

Qin Shu was so angry that she laughed. "I'm flirting with other women? Didn't Second Aunt say that your nephew from your mother's side was moved by sympathy when he saw your niece crying at the funeral, so he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to comfort her?"

"My niece was very surprised at the time. Only then did she know that the man from my second aunt's family expressed his love by climbing over the girl's wall in the middle of the night and ruining her reputation!"

Many of the onlookers fell to the ground laughing.

Even Ji Wei and Cheng Mao couldn't help but cover their mouths and cough lightly.

Qin Shu sneered and said, "Oh, yes, I still remember that the niece of my second aunt's family, the sister of that Liu Gongzi who climbed over the wall, said that she had taken a fancy to a bracelet of mine, and her brother loved her so much that he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to ask for the bracelet."

She sneered at Liu Yinghua and said, "So, please tell me, Second Aunt, why did the young master of the Liu family climb over the wall of another family in the middle of the night?"
