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

Yesterday at the South City Gate, Qin Jingchang mentioned the bracelet and asked Qin Shu to return home and take out the contents of the bracelet.

This shows that Liu Weiran has told Qin Jingchang the secret of the bracelet.

After all of Qin Jingchang's valuables in the East Mansion disappeared inexplicably, he believed what Liu Weiran said, and treated the fake bracelet as a treasure, hiding it in his own mansion.

Since he did not hand the bracelet over to Prince Ning's men, he must have made up his mind to keep the bracelet and the things inside it for himself.

Therefore, he must not have revealed this secret.

I just don’t know how he will deal with Liu Weiran who also knows this secret?

Shopkeeper Zhong didn't know what she meant, and thought Qin Shu was being righteous, so he waved his hand and said, "I have already searched the house, and the house is cleaner than that woman's face. But that woman went back to get her things, and she didn't take any clothes, but a broken jade bracelet."

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be curious and asked, "Bracelet? That should be very valuable."

Shopkeeper Zhong laughed, "What's so valuable? A blood chalcedony bracelet is worth less than three or five taels. It's just that when I was returning it to the woman, I accidentally dropped it on the ground and it broke into pieces."

After saying this, he laughed with glee.

Qin Shu was slightly startled, then burst out laughing, "That's such a pity."

Yeah, that's such a pity!

Liu Yinghua came back to get the bracelet. It should be that Qin Jingchang regarded this fake bracelet as his last straw. He planned to let Liu Yinghua take the bracelet to find King Ning's people and exchange the secret of the bracelet for Qin Shu's life.

Now that the bracelet has been broken into pieces, I'm afraid Qin Jingchang's heart will be broken as well!

After finishing the work, Manager Zhong looked at the time, asked his men who were guarding the door to come in and move the boxes, and bowed to Qin Shu, saying, "Tomorrow, I will wait for you at the government office to handle the transfer of the house."

The government office will be sealed tomorrow afternoon.

The transfer must be completed before noon tomorrow.

Qin Shu quickly stood up and said, "Qin Shu is in mourning now, so it's inconvenient for her to go out. How about asking the housekeeper to contact Manager Zhong early tomorrow morning?"

Shopkeeper Zhong slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I was not thoughtful enough. Tomorrow, please ask Manager Chang to go directly to Jinglong Pawn Shop to find me."

Qin Shu knelt down and bowed, "Thank you, Manager Zhong."

Shopkeeper Zhong then clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Goodbye."

After seeing off Shopkeeper Zhong, Qin Shu stood at the gate of the mansion, looking at the West Mansion which used to be bustling with carriages and horses but now was desolate and cold.

Qin Jingchang was hospitable and generous to outsiders. Many poor scholars and down-and-out literati came here to visit him. Every day, the West Mansion was filled with guests who recited poems, composed essays, and talked about everything.

In the city of Jinzhou, who doesn't praise Mr. Qin for being gentle, approachable, easy-going, upright and not fussy about trivial matters?

If it weren't for the lesson from her past life, Qin Shu would have suspected the death of her parents and wanted to open the coffin, forcing Qin Jingchang to reveal his true colors. He even labeled her "insane" and tried to trap her to death in the backyard...

How did she know that Qin Jingchang, a modest gentleman in the eyes of the world, actually had such a sinister and vicious side?

The cold wind of winter evening blew on my face, and it felt like a needle pricking me. The cold wind brought with it a little water vapor, and bits of snow fell from the sky.

Qin Shu was standing in front of the door wearing a fox fur coat, looking at the flowers, trees, rocks, pavilions, and pools scattered throughout the courtyard, as well as the strange rockery that her father had spent a huge amount of money to transport back from far away.

She seemed to hear the laughter of her childhood again, "Daddy, come and find Shu'er."

"Second Uncle, guess where Shu'er is hiding?"

"Big brother, big brother, Shu'er also wants to go to school with you..."

In the backyard, Second Aunt smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits. "Oh, Shu'er is getting more and more beautiful. Second Aunt made some new rice cakes. They are still hot. Shu'er, try them. Do you like them?"

The second cousin, Qin Antai, who was a little bit tall, said seriously, "Big sister, this is a bamboo dragonfly that Daddy made for you to play with..."

In previous years, this time of year was the busiest time in the mansion.

My second uncle and eldest cousin wrote couplets, my father and the clan leader discussed ancestor worship, and my mother and second aunt discussed the offerings, new clothes and meals that needed to be prepared for the New Year...

Qin Shu's lips curled slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile: What we thought was a friendly and respectful relationship between brothers was actually a long-planned murder and robbery;

The person I once thought was my closest blood relative turned out to have harbored evil intentions for a long time!

now……

His parents died, Qin Jingchang was in jail, Qin Anning murdered someone and escaped, Qin Antai was detained for being unfilial, and Liu Yinghua had nowhere to live with her young son in the cold winter.

Qin Baoyi, who was married off as a substitute, became a thorn in the side of the Cheng family.

And she, Qin Shu, ended up being a lonely person.

The East and West Palaces are no longer as bustling as they once were.

Within this high-walled courtyard, this house with carved beams and painted rafters, like the lotus pond ravaged by the cold wind, is only left with desolation and barrenness.

Regret?

Never regret it!

If she can't avenge her parents, then what's the point of living again?

Do we have to guard this huge fortune like a rat, never seeing the light of day, and live with regret for the rest of our lives?

I heard footsteps behind me, and someone was approaching quietly.

Qin Shu suddenly came back to her senses, turned around and saw her mother-in-law from her previous life, Yang, walking towards her with her head poking her head out.

Liu Sicheng, with his hands folded in his sleeves and wearing a gray cotton robe, followed closely behind timidly.

Seeing Qin Shu looking at her, Yang immediately smiled and took a few steps forward to get close to Qin Shu.

Nanny Chun and the two guards stood in front of Qin Shu at the same time, shouting: "Retreat!"

Yang was startled and quickly stepped back. She cautiously asked Nanny Chun with a smile, "Excuse me, sister-in-law, why is there no one at our son-in-law's house?"

Nanny Chun spat at Yang fiercely and said, "You are such a heartless bastard, such a rotten-hearted dog. Your whole family should be locked up in jail. Tomorrow the judge from the imperial court will chop off their heads!"

Yang was immediately anxious when she heard this, "Is it true? What should we do? My son-in-law is the one who is taking care of our Er Ni'er's illness."

She also heard it from the villagers, so she hurried into the city.

Qin Shu's heart moved, she winked at Nanny Chun, and went back to her room.

Soon, Nanny Chun came in from outside and said with a smile: "I asked and found out that Liu Erni was either crazy or mentally ill. The second master promised to cure Liu Erni and asked her to go to Kang'an Pharmacy in the south of the city to get some medicine."

Madness?

Qin Shu sneered: Qin Jingchang is really good at making people crazy.

If she had not been submissive and allowed him to bully and humiliate her, once he had proven that she was "crazy", no matter how much she said, it would have been useless.

Nanny Chun thought, "I still remember that on the day when the master and the mistress' coffins were brought into the mansion, the young lady fainted from excessive grief. The second master said that the young lady had gone insane, and not long after, the doctor entered the young lady's courtyard."

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat and she said, "This doctor must know a lot of Qin Jingchang's secrets."

Nanny Chun turned around and walked out, "I'll take someone over to take a look."
