Xie Liuzheng glanced at Qin Shou with a look of sarcasm in his eyes. "I haven't done anything yet, why are you so anxious? Are you feeling guilty?"

?

"You don't have to rush to clear yourself. Qin Wan and Qin Guangjin committed a crime, and you are innocent."

?

Qin Shou was confused. Xie Liuzheng suddenly became so easy to talk to. Could it be that she still couldn't forget her old love for him?

?

"Don't think I will forgive you just by saying a few nice words. Unless you kneel before me in front of everyone and admit your mistake, and promise to abide by the rules of being a woman in the future, I will consider forgiving you."

?

Xie Liuzheng laughed out loud without giving him any face.

?

Qin Guangjin and his son Qin Shou are simply cut from the same cloth, equally arrogant and stupid.

?

What was even more ridiculous was herself. In her previous life, she had been devoted to a man like Qin Shou, but ended up with a ruined reputation and death on the street.

?

Xie Liuzheng had laughed enough and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

?

"Qin Shou, even if you are innocent, with an unknown father and unclean mother, why do you think you are worthy of me?"

?

This sentence hit Qin Shou's sore spot directly. Qin Shou clenched his fists in his sleeves, wishing he could smash Xie Liuzheng's smug smile.

?

Qin Guangjin was cunning and vicious, and he became brainless in front of Qin Shou. Hearing Xie Liuzheng ridiculing his beloved son in front of everyone, he could not bear it.

?

"Liu Zheng, Master Qin is a very talented person, all he lacks is an opportunity. Our Xie family is just a merchant family, how can we be compared with Master Qin?"

?

"Qin Guangjin, have you forgotten that just now you were kneeling on the ground crying and begging to return to this merchant's home?" Xie Liuzheng turned to look at Qin Guangjin, "Since you look down on the merchant family so much, why bother begging to come back?"

?

Qin Guangjin's old face turned purple and he was about to say something, but Xie Liuzheng no longer had the patience to listen.

?

A big part of the reason why she had a mindless obsession with Qin Shou in her previous life was because Qin Guangjin kept whispering these words in her ears, making her increasingly insecure about her identity as a merchant girl, and increasingly feeling that she was marrying above her station.

?

Living her life over again, these words were nothing short of the greatest irony to her, reminding her how stupid she was in her previous life.

?

"What I want to confirm now is Qin Shou's identity. Now that it's clear, there's nothing else I want to know."

?

In order to return to the Xie family and continue to earn money to support Qin Shou, how could Qin Guangjin be willing to admit that he was Qin Shou's biological father? "It would be normal even if I was by Qin's side when she gave birth to a child."

?

"I just said that her husband died early. What's wrong with me taking care of him out of kindness and sympathy?"

?

Seeing that the old woman could earn a large sum of silver with just a few words, the landlord couple became bolder.

?

He said in a muffled voice, "I remember that Mr. Qin and his wife rented a room in my house for more than half a year, and they always referred to each other as husband and wife."

?

"There is only one room in the wing, with one bed, and at night, there are often noises coming from the two of them..."

?

The landlord spoke vaguely, but everyone understood.

?

"Oh my, Qin Guangjin is such a bastard. Qin was pregnant and still did that kind of thing."

?

"He had the nerve to swear and swear all the time. He almost fooled us."

?

"Thank goodness Miss Xie found this witness. Let's see what Qin Guangjin has to say."

?

Qin Guangjin really had nothing to say.

?

However, Xie Liuzheng did not intend to let him go, and deliberately showed him the letter of guarantee he had just written.

?

"Qin Guangjin, the ink on the guarantee letter hasn't even dried yet, and your lie has been exposed right in front of you. Do you still have any more excuses? Tell us all at once, so you don't have to disturb the neighbors next time."

?

Qin Guangjin said nothing, carried Qin Shou on his back and squeezed out of the crowd.

?

Xie Liuzheng winked at Lu Zeming, who understood and took a few steps forward to block him.

?

"If you want to leave, take this woman with you."

?

"Everyone knows that this woman is infected with a dirty disease, and you still brought her here. Are you deliberately trying to kill everyone?"

?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and stepped back.

?

"Get that woman away!"

?

"Qin Guangjin and his son have been with that woman all day, I'm afraid they have also contracted a disease."

?

"Oh my god, go back and take a bath with moxa leaves. Ugh, it's so disgusting."

?

The neighbors fled in all directions and went home to take a bath to get rid of the disease.

?

Third Uncle was also extremely scared. His waist and legs were no longer sore, and he rushed to Xie's house at full speed. "Quick, get someone to bring me some hot water. I want to take a bath."

?

Xie Liuzheng knelt down in front of him, "Third Uncle, you should go back and wash again."

?

"You are the elder. It's nothing for my mother and I to die because of you. Hundreds of lives in the mansion cannot be lost in vain because of this matter."

?

Qin Guangjin was brought here by the third uncle, and although he had implicated Xie Xiangyu and her daughter, the two had no complaints and even respected him as an elder.

?

Third Uncle brought disaster upon himself but only cared about saving his own life, without considering whether it would implicate the Xie family.

?

It is already obvious which is higher and which is lower.

?

Without waiting for the Third Uncle to get angry, the man in green who came with the Third Uncle and had not spoken a word said, "Miss Xie is right. Mr. Xie is indeed lacking in kindness."

?

The Third Uncle could take advantage of his age in front of Xie Xiangyu and her daughter, but he dared not not give face to the man in green. Hearing this, he suppressed his shame and anger and admitted his fault. "I am old and confused, and I didn't think it through. Please don't blame me, sir."

?

Xie Liuzheng took advantage of the situation and ordered his men to invite Third Uncle to the carriage. However, the man in blue refused to leave with Third Uncle. Third Uncle did not dare to force him and urged the coachman to take him home to take a bath.

?

Xie Liuzheng was curious about the identity of the man in green shirt, but she didn't ask. She nodded with a smile and went to deal with the landlord and his wife and the old woman.

?

"Fang Cheng, take the three of you to the best inn to rest for a night, and send them back safely tomorrow."

?

He also distributed the silver ingots that the servant had just brought to the three people.

?

The three of them thanked him profusely and left.

?

Lu Zeming came to Xie Liuzheng to take credit for the incident, "If I hadn't led the way, the eldest young lady wouldn't have found these three witnesses so quickly."

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't say much and just gave him the banknote.

?

The man in green watched the incident end before turning around and walking away. Xie Liuzheng stared at his back for a while before slowly walking into the mansion.

?

Xie Xiangyu was waiting for her at the door. Seeing that she was in a daze, she pulled her.

?

"Be careful, you almost kicked a stone."

?

Xie Liuzheng came back to her senses and took Xie Xiangyu's arm, "As long as mother is here, I'm not afraid. Mother won't let me get hurt."

?

Xie Xiangyu's heart softened, and she stroked Xie Liuzheng's hair, "You have thought about the matter just now very carefully. After this incident, how can Qin Guangjin have the face to mention the matter of returning to the Xie family again?"

?

Xie Liuzheng is not as optimistic as Xie Xiangyu.

?

Given how shameless Qin Guangjin and Qin Shou are, face is not even as good as straw paper to them.

?

But there is no need to say these words to Xie Xiangyu now, as it will only add to her troubles.

?

"Mom, I went to Suzhou to meet Shopkeeper Lu. I haven't seen him for a few years. He hasn't changed at all, except that he has gained a little weight. His boss treats him very well now..."
