The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

There was a heavy snowfall in Kyoto, and several houses in Jiming Alley were collapsed.

"Your Majesty, I have a grievance to report!"

"I want to sue the newly crowned number one scholar, Qin Shou, for abandoning his wife who helped him pass the exam and marrying a noblewoman."

"To steal a woman's wealth."

"Killed my mother."

"Forcing good women into prostitution!"

At the foot of the imperial city, under the Dengwen drum, there was a frail woman in thin clothes and covered with wounds, dragging her mother's already cold body, and beating the Dengwen drum again and again using her arms as drumsticks.

A group of yamen runners in official uniforms came out from nowhere, followed by a young man in a red robe. He waved his hand and said, "You are a whore who dares to see the emperor. Come on, beat me to death with sticks!"

The yamen runners rushed forward to try to curry favor with the new Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and the poor woman was beaten to death, her bright red blood blooming like a flower in the snow.

Deep in the alley, there was a newly married woman in a carriage with the emblem of Pingxi Marquis' Mansion. She had been peeping at the place until she saw the man die completely. Then she told the coachman to leave.

It’s a pity that the woman’s injustice was destined to never reach the ears of God.

The snow fell even heavier, determined to cover up all traces.

……

"Give me five hundred taels, and I will redeem Shu'er."

Looking at the man in front of her, Xie Liuzheng realized that she was reborn, and she was reborn to the time when she had just gotten engaged to Qin Shou. He was not yet the top scholar in the imperial examination, but just a poor scholar.

"Why?"

Unlike his usual easy-to-handle demeanor, Xie Liuzheng's eyes were wide open as he stared at him viciously. How could he have the nerve to ask her for money to redeem a prostitute from a brothel?

"Will you give it to me? If you don't, I will break off the engagement with you. I am the future top scholar, and you are just a lowly merchant girl. Without me, you will never be able to cross the class barrier in your life." Qin Shou stiffened his neck and spoke with confidence. He thought Xie Liuzheng was still as easy to control as before.

"According to the laws of Daxia, a scholar who visits prostitutes will be exiled three thousand miles. Are you sure you still want to ask me for money?" If their engagement had not been cancelled yet, Xie Liuzheng would have wanted to kill him right now.

Qin Shou shrank his neck slightly and said something cruel: "Just wait, just wait, I will break off the engagement with you sooner or later!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you. If you don't come, you're my grandson." After saying this, Xie Liuzheng ordered the servant to drive him away. She never wanted to see this piece of shit man again, so she had to cancel the engagement quickly.

After waiting for a long time, Xie Xiangyu finally came back. After listening to the maid's report, Xie Liuzheng ran towards Xiangyu Courtyard without stopping.

In her previous life, she hated her mother's busyness and strictness and was not close to her.

When they arrived at Xiangyu Courtyard, Xie Xiangyu sat at the center of the Eight Immortals Table, while Qin Guangjin stood by and served the dishes attentively, "Madam, this fish was freshly caught from Dongting Lake this morning. Please try it."

Xie Xiangyu took a bite, put it in her mouth, chewed it slightly, and nodded in approval.

"Mother, I have something to talk to you about." Xie Liuzheng rushed in.

Xie Xiangyu frowned, "You have no rules. Is this all the teacher I hired for you to teach you?"

Qin Guangjin was so scared that he stepped aside and dared not say a word.

"All of you go down, I have something to say to my mother."

The maids and servants looked at each other, and after getting Xie Xiangyu's approval, they all withdrew.

Xie Liuzheng's eyes were fixed on Qin Guangjin. "Father, why are you still standing here? Didn't you hear me say I wanted to talk to mother?"

Her words were very impolite. She did not regard the person in front of her as her father. He was not Xie Liuzheng's biological father, but Qin Shou's biological father, and one of the culprits who killed her mother in the future.

Qin Guangjin touched his nose and retreated awkwardly.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xie Liuzheng said bluntly: "I want to cancel the engagement."

Xie Xiangyu got angry when she heard this and threw her chopsticks on the ground. "How dare you! I think you've been out there for too long and have become wild. Marriage is decided by your parents and the matchmaker. You can't just cancel it. Besides, Qin Shou and Song Yu are the most likely candidates to pass the imperial examination in this year's Suzhou exam."

"Mother, he is not a good match. Today he asked me for 500 taels to redeem a prostitute in a brothel..."

Xie Liuzheng was interrupted before she could finish her words. "A prostitute cannot compete with you for the position of the wife of the top scholar. I let you marry him not because of his good character, but to let you show your class. Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest."

"But mother..." Xie Liuzheng thought about it and put the words back. His mother has always been stubborn. No matter what she said, it would be useless. There was no point in saying more. He could only use actions to let his mother see Qin Shou's true face.

When Xie Liuzheng came out of Xiangyu Courtyard, Qin Guangjin was waiting for her outside the courtyard. When he saw her coming, he immediately pulled her to the wall to talk.

"Zheng'er, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, especially for a young talent like Shou'er. He is the future number one scholar, and it is not excessive for him to have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, let alone redeem a prostitute."

Seeing that Xie Liuzheng didn't say anything, Qin Guangjin continued, "I'll give him the five hundred taels for you. Shou'er is drinking with a group of students in the Zhuangyuan Building now. You can go over and kneel down to apologize. Shou'er is magnanimous and won't hold it against you."

Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but sneer, "Father is really old. He can't even tell who is your biological child. If others hear this, they will think Qin Shou is your biological son."

"You...what nonsense are you talking about? I'm doing this for your own good. If you anger Shou'er, you won't be qualified to be the wife of the top scholar, let alone a concubine." Qin Guangjin's face flushed and he blurted out the words before he could think.

"Father did remind me that it is not easy for mother to manage such a large family business, and father is already old and ugly, so it is time to choose some young and strong concubines for mother. I believe father is magnanimous. Let alone one or two concubines, even if mother has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two male concubines, father will not be angry, right?"

Xie Liuzheng stared at Qin Guangjin in a daze, and walked forward step by step, forcing him into a corner.

"You rebellious girl!" He raised his hand and was about to hit Xie Liuzheng, but was stopped by Xie Xiangyu.

She has been immersed in the business world for many years and has her own aura, intimidating without even getting angry. "Can you beat my daughter, huh?"

Qin Guangjin was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to the ground. "Madam, I didn't mean that. Zheng'er is too ignorant. I want to teach her a lesson. I'm afraid she will suffer if she goes out."

"Qin Guangjin, recognize your own identity. My daughter is the future head of the Xie family business. It is not the turn of people like you to be in charge." Her words were full of contempt, and Qin Guangjin dared not speak out.

Xie Liuzheng was in no mood to watch Xie Xiangyu lecture a man, so she left awkwardly. When the maid asked her where she was going, she replied, "Zhuangyuan Building."
