Qin Wan endured the whole night in the rain. At daybreak, the people in the compound got up one after another, felt under her nose and found that she was dead, and went to report to the police while cursing.
?
The slum was a hodgepodge of people of all kinds, and deaths occurred every day. There was no money to be made, so the government sent a coroner, who wrapped the person in a straw mat and threw him into a mass grave outside the city.
?
Everyone cursed a few words of bad luck and went out to find work. The courtyard gradually became quiet. An old woman who was blind in one eye walked out of the door hunched over, mumbling to herself.
?
When Xie Liuzheng learned the news of Qin Wan's death, she was looking at the account books in the silver shop.
?
After what happened to Qin Guangjin, Xie Xiangyu took Xie Liuzheng's abilities seriously and decided not to urge her to get married. Instead, she began to teach her how to do business. This time when she went to the Luzhou branch to check the accounts, she took her with her.
?
After being away for seven days, Xie Liuzheng was greatly enlightened. After returning, he decided to make some adjustments to the management of the silver shop.
?
While checking the account book to understand the changes in the business of the silver shop during her absence, Fang Cheng came in with his head down and said softly, "Qin died, and there was a white hanging on the door of the Qin family. The landlord thought it was unlucky and ordered Qin Guangjin and his son to move out. Qin Guangjin gave the landlord five taels of silver to make arrangements, and the landlord did not make a fuss about demolishing the mourning shed."
?
Xie Liuzheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
?
A huge amount of information was contained in just a few short sentences. Qin Wan's death was not unexpected. After contracting that kind of disease, death was only a matter of time. However, where did Qin Guangjin get the silver from? And he spent five taels at once, which showed that he had a lot of silver in his hands. Could it be that he had some private money that he didn't know about?
?
Xie Liuzheng tapped the corner of the table with his fingertips and asked Fang Cheng, "I asked you to bring people to keep an eye on Qin Guangjin and his son day and night. Do you know where his money comes from?"
?
Fang Cheng lowered his head even deeper, his face full of self-blame, "I was incompetent and didn't know. On the night Qin Wan died of illness, it rained heavily all night, and the people I sent to monitor the Qin family were lazy and left for a while..."
?
Now that things have come to this, it is useless to blame Fang Cheng. Xie Liuzheng glanced at him calmly, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
?
Fang Cheng whispered, "I know. I didn't take into account that it was cold on a rainy night and my men might be lazy."
?
Xie Liuzheng nodded slowly, "It is human nature to avoid the cold and seek warmth. Understanding the situation of the subordinates is not just a means to show goodwill to the subordinates and win their hearts. Fang Cheng, you are the most capable assistant of my mother. I have high hopes for you and hope you will not let me down."
?
Fang Cheng's expression froze, and he bowed to the ground, "Thank you for your teaching, Miss. I will keep it in mind and will never make such a mistake again."
?
After Fang Cheng left, Xie Xiangyu came out of the inner room and looked at Xie Liuzheng thoughtfully, "Fang Cheng committed such a serious mistake, why didn't you punish him?"
?
Xie Liuzheng knew that Xie Xiangyu was testing her again, so she helped her to sit down with a smile, "No one is perfect, as long as he didn't do it intentionally, why not give him a chance to correct his mistakes?"
?
"Fang Cheng has a steady temperament, is thoughtful, and is very experienced in doing things. He blames himself for a mistake. If I don't punish him, he will be more grateful. Therefore, not punishing him is more effective than punishing him."
?
Xie Xiangyu patted Xie Liuzheng's hand with satisfaction, "It's amazing that you have such a clear vision at such a young age."
?
"It's all because of my good teaching." Xie Liuzheng held up a cup of incense with both hands and flattered her. "This time I accompanied you to Luzhou. It really opened my eyes. From now on, I will take you with me wherever I go, okay?"
?
Xie Xiangyu stroked Xie Liuzheng's hair lovingly, "Mother didn't take you with her before because she didn't want you to suffer from traveling. Thinking that I can still move, I did all these things for you. In the future, whether you get married or marry into the family, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and your life won't be too difficult."
?
Parents love their children and have long-term plans for them.
?
It was only after what happened to Qin Guangjin that Xie Xiangyu realized that it was far from enough for her to only want Xie Liuzheng to live a life of luxury without having to teach her how to protect herself. If you can't stand up for yourself, you can't keep the gold you own.
?
"Since you want to learn, I'll take you with me when I go out. But you're a young woman after all, and it's inconvenient for you to be away from home..."
?
Xie Liuzheng had already planned for this, and with a smile, he took out men's clothing tailored to her body from the closet and showed it to Xie Xiangyu. "From now on, my daughter will wear men's clothing when she goes out with you. She will definitely be no worse than those men. Maybe some girls will be interested in her."
?
"Thank you." Master Xie Xiang scolded with a smile, but did not object to her suggestion of dressing up as a man.
?
Xie Xiangyu took two sips of tea and said, "Qin Guangjin has no reason to cling to the Xie family anymore. There is no need to bother with him anymore. Just let him live his own life."
?
After all, Qin Guangjin is Xie Liuzheng's biological father. Xie Liuzheng went too far and was inevitably criticized.
?
Xie Liuzheng didn't want to let Qin Guangjin and his son go. First, she had to take revenge for all the things she had done in her past life to erase the shame they had inflicted on her. Second, she was worried about Qin Guangjin and felt that things wouldn't end so easily.
?
This was just her intuition. It was hard to tell Xie Xiangyu without any evidence, which would only add to her troubles. Xie Liuzheng readily agreed, "Okay, I will listen to you and ignore Qin Guangjin's affairs."
?
Over the next period of time, there was nothing abnormal in the news Fang Cheng reported about Qin Guangjin and his son.
?
After Qin Wan died, Qin Guangjin bought some brown rice and vegetable leaves every day and cooked a pot of mixed vegetables to eat from morning to night. Qin Shou still stayed in his room and did not go out. During meals, Qin Guangjin brought in mixed vegetables. Sometimes he ate all of it, and sometimes he left half a bowl.
?
Everything seemed normal, and Xie Liuzheng gradually paid less attention to Qin Guangjin and his son, but the surveillance personnel were not withdrawn.
?
After Lu Zeming lost his financial backer Qin Guangjin, he initially lived a carefree life relying on the money he extorted from Qin Guangjin and the reward from Xie Liuzheng.
?
Before long, all his money was spent on prostitution, and he became short of money.
?
Lu Zeming set his sights on Xie Liuzheng again, coming to "report" some specious intelligence about Qin Guangjin from time to time, coaxing Xie Liuzheng to give him some rewards.
?
Xie Liuzheng would reward him every time, and even Fang Chengdu couldn't stand it anymore. He carefully chose his words to persuade her: "Chong Zeming is greedy and full of lies. If he grows a big appetite, I'm afraid even a mountain of gold will not be able to fill it."
?
Xie Liuzheng said casually, "Don't worry, he still has some use."
?
Fang Cheng followed Xie Liuzheng for a while and gradually figured out her personality. Although she looked gentle and polite, she was actually very opinionated and not very receptive to advice.
?
Since he refused to listen, Fang Cheng would not try to persuade him any more. He would just keep an eye on Lu Zeming whenever he had time to prevent him from doing anything that would harm Xie Liuzheng.
?
A few days later, Liu Cheng really discovered some things.
