The servant received the order and took action immediately.

In the Zhang family's yard, when Mrs. Zhang saw that she had received the silver, she immediately drove away the neighbors who were watching.

Boss Zhang returned to the fields to work with a heavy heart.

During the busy farming season, he cannot leave the fields for too long.

Mrs. Zhang happily took the five taels of silver and looked for a place to hide it.

This is five taels of silver! She has to find a safe place.

Finally, she opened the closet and hid the silver at the bottom, covering it with a pile of rags.

After hiding the silver, she locked the door and went out to find Zhang Laoer.

She wanted to tell her youngest son the good news, but Zhang Laoer had disappeared and had not returned home.

At this moment, the servant hiding nearby seized the opportunity and quietly came out.

The lock of Zhang's house was not strong, and the servant hit the door hard and it opened.

After searching the house, the servant finally found the five taels of silver.

He was secretly glad in his heart, but at the same time he felt disgusted by Mrs. Zhang's greed.

He smiled, took the silver and quickly left Zhang's house, chasing Qin Suling's carriage.

Mrs. Zhang found Zhang Laoer and was excited to tell him the good news, but she discovered that the door was wide open and the closet was in a mess.

She was startled and ran over to check, only to find that the place where the silver was originally placed was empty.

"I will not live any longer! You damned thief! How dare you steal my silver!"

Mrs. Zhang sat on the ground in despair, slapping her hands and bursting into tears.

Zhang Laoer returned home happily, but heard his mother crying.

He hurried forward to inquire and learned that the silver had been stolen.

Zhang Laoer's mood instantly changed from excitement to anger and disappointment.

"Mom! Where's the money? You're so confused that you actually lost it!" Zhang Laoer accused angrily.

"I... I don't know either! I clearly put it in the closet, how could it disappear?" Mrs. Zhang burst into tears.

"If you don't return the money to me to marry me, I will not let you eat and will starve you to death!"

Zhang Laoer roared angrily, completely disregarding his mother's feelings.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her son helplessly, her heart filled with despair and helplessness...

It was two days later when Qin Suling finished checking the accounts.

She took Jinxiu and Jinlan and slowly returned to the Qin Mansion.

Unexpectedly, she learned that the Fourth Prince had released the news that he was going to marry Qin Suyu.

Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang announced to everyone that the fourth prince was actually going to marry Qin Suyu.

Jinxiu was so angry that she wanted to cry.

Qin Suling stood in the courtyard, the sunlight shining on her elegant long skirt, the gently swaying skirt was like a flowing painting.

She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the gentle breeze brushing across her cheek, but her heart was calm.

"If she likes it, let her take it away."

Qin Suling's voice was as light as willow catkins, with a bit of nonchalant indifference.

Jinxiu stood aside, looking at her young lady's calm appearance, but she felt indignant in her heart.

She bit her lower lip tightly and spat angrily: "That girl is so shameless!"

Jinxiu's voice was trembling a little, and she was obviously very angry.

Qin Suling opened her eyes and saw Jinxiu's appearance. She smiled gently and reached out her hand to gently touch Jinxiu's forehead: "Girl, why are you so angry? You look as if your husband has been taken away by someone."

Hearing this, Jinxiu stamped her feet and said anxiously, "Miss! I feel sorry for you! The Fourth Prince is a good husband candidate that many people dream of, how could he be given to that little girl?"

Qin Suling looked at Jinxiu's angry expression, but her heart was calm.

She sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. The Fourth Prince is good, but he is not what I want. On the contrary, General Qi from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has inherited the title for three generations. He is also the eldest son and has been appointed a general at a young age. He is a good candidate."

Jinxiu was stunned when she heard this and asked in confusion: "How can a general be compared with a prince?"

Qin Suling smiled slightly and did not answer.

In her mind, she thought of the high-spirited young general, and a ripple of emotion arose in her heart.

At this time, Jin Lan handed over a cup of tea. Qin Suling took a sip and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Seeing that Jinxiu was still angry, she warned him in a deep voice, "Don't talk about me secretly choosing a husband in the future. I don't know General Qi."

Although Jinxiu was unwilling, she also knew that this matter concerned the young lady's reputation, so she replied, "Yes."

Qin Suling finally felt relieved and turned to walk towards the gate of the Qin Mansion.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, a maid came up to her and said sternly, "Miss, the Madam asks you to come over."

Qin Suling raised her eyebrows, turned her head and told Jin Lan: "Go tell the second young lady that I'll be waiting for her at mother's place."

Arriving at Fang Rushuang's courtyard, Qin Suling politely bowed and greeted her: "Mother, you called me?"

When Fang Rushuang saw her, her face darkened. She placed the teacup heavily on the table and angrily asked, "Why didn't you stop your sister from talking about the silk flower? What were you thinking?"

Qin Suling's heart trembled, but she remained calm. She explained softly, "Mother, please calm down. The maids and I tried to stop my sister, but she was stubborn and couldn't stop us."

Fang Rushuang scolded: "As a sister, you are wrong for not taking good care of your sister. Now you are talking back to me, which is very unfilial. Kneel down!"

The current emperor attaches great importance to filial piety. If you are charged with the crime of being unfilial, your reputation will be ruined and you will be criticized for the rest of your life.

She always has to plan for herself.

Qin Suling knelt down and said, "My daughter knows she is wrong. Please punish me, mother."

Fang Rushuang saw her kneeling down obediently, and her expression softened: "If this unfilial behavior gets out, you won't be able to find a good husband."

Qin Suling lowered her eyes and said, "Please ask mother to arrange Shu'er's marriage."

Seeing that she was showing weakness and trying to please him, Fang Rushuang pretended to be tolerant and generous.

"As long as you admit that the flowers for the flower viewing banquet were actually Su Yu's idea, I will not bother with your contradiction, and I will even find you a better marriage than the fourth prince."

He wanted to push her into the fire pit to seek an official position, but he coaxed her into saying it was a good marriage. How shameless!

Qin Suling still lowered her eyes obediently: "Ling'er always listens to mother."

Seeing that she was obedient, Fang Rushuang pulled Qin Suling up with satisfaction and patted her hands lovingly.

"As long as you behave yourself, I won't treat you unfairly. I have found a good marriage for you, one that is better than the one for the Fourth Prince."

Qin Suling was able to hear the quick footsteps coming from outside, and lowered her eyes: "Whoever my mother tells me to marry, I will marry..."

Before she finished her words, Qin Suyu's voice came from outside: "My daughter has had physical contact with the Fourth Prince! My daughter will not marry anyone else but him!"

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

Qin Suling raised her eyebrows, arriving just in time.

Fang Rushuang saw Shen Baozhu running in with her skirt lifted up, and her voice was quite loud. She was so angry: "Yu'er, why are you so impatient..."

Qin Suyu interrupted again: "Mother, the Fourth Prince saved me, not my sister!"

Seeing her being so unrestrained and acting recklessly, Fang Rushuang was extremely angry. She felt a surge of anger rushing straight to her liver and lungs, almost suffocating her.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart, but her tone was already a bit stern: "Su Yu, this matter is very serious, how can you do it recklessly? Just listen to me, I have my own plan."
