After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

After coming out of Fang Rushang's yard, Qin Suling walked briskly back to his own quiet and elegant yard.

She was thinking about her future plans in her mind, but her face remained expressionless, with only a sharp light flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Entering the boudoir, Qin Suling began to rummage through the drawers.

She carefully selected the jewelry that she treasured. Each piece was like a treasure in her heart, but now she had to give it up.

She called her maid Jinxiu and asked her to take all the jewelry to the pawnshop.

Soon, Jinxiu came back with a heavy bag of silver and presented it respectfully: "Miss, I got a total of 850 taels of silver."

Qin Suling took the silver bag and had something in mind.

She took out the monthly salary she had saved, put it all on the table, and counted it carefully. Now she had a total of 2,604 taels of silver in her hand.

Qin Suling's eyes were firm. She waved her hand to signal Jinxiu to come forward and whispered, "Go to the east of the city and buy as many shops as you can. Remember to bargain down. This must be completed within half a month."

Jinxiu looked suspicious when she heard this. She asked in confusion, "Miss, why do you want to buy a shop in the east of the city? If you want to do business, Anhe Lane in the south of the city is where the market is, which is more suitable."

Qin Suling smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes.

She explained, "You may not know that the imperial court will soon designate the east of the city as a trading market for foreign merchants. At that time, spices, gemstones, medicinal herbs, fine wines and other foreign businesses will gather here. The real estate prices in the east of the city will rise all the way. Now we can buy an extra shop at a low price, which is like picking up money."

After hearing this, Jinxiu suddenly realized and admired Qin Suling's intelligence and foresight even more.

Although she still had some hesitation in her heart, she knew her young lady's temper, so she stopped asking questions and just nodded firmly, indicating that she would definitely do as the young lady instructed.

However, Qin Suling knew in her heart that the money she had was far from enough.

Although the shops in the east of the city were not extremely expensive, only a few could be bought with more than two thousand taels of silver.

She had to find a way to get more money.

Just when Qin Suling was worried, within two days, someone gave her an opportunity to make money.

Mrs. Xue's sister sent a visiting card, saying that she had got some new tea and specially invited her to come to her house to taste the tea.

Qin Suling's heart moved, knowing that this might be an opportunity.

She tidied her appearance and took Jinxiu to Xue's house.

In the past years, Qin Suling and Mrs. Xue had a deep friendship.

However, things are unpredictable. When Mrs. Xue's sister suddenly sent an invitation to invite her to her house for tea, Qin Suling began to feel suspicious.

"This tea, how can it be just tea?" she murmured to herself, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes.

She knew very well that there must be a deeper meaning behind the Xue sisters' invitation.

Qin Suling straightened her clothes and decided to go as invited.

She lived a new life and had already had deep reflections on the failures of her previous life.

The reason why she lost so badly was not because Qin Suyu was smarter than her, but because she was too narrow-minded and only cared about the immediate gains and losses while ignoring long-term plans.

She once thought that as long as she defeated Qin Suyu, she could snatch a good man from her as the fruit of her victory.

However, looking back now, this idea was so naive.

How can a woman's life be limited to marrying a good man?

This shallow knowledge caused her to fall repeatedly on the road of life.

Now, Qin Suling has understood that in order to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, he must have sufficient power and status.

Only in this way can you ensure a smooth and worry-free life.

Therefore, she decided to go to the Xue Mansion to see what the Xue sisters were planning.

On the way to Xue's house, Qin Suling asked Jin Lan to prepare a piece of exquisite pastry as a gift.

This pastry was what she hadn't finished at lunch. Although it was a bit of a pity, it played an unexpected role at this critical moment.

After arriving at Xue's Mansion, Qin Suling was led to the backyard by a maid.

However, when she entered the tea room, she found it empty.

Just as she was wondering, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door—it was the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince had obviously been waiting here for a long time. After seeing Qin Suling, he frowned and seemed a little unhappy.

He walked up to Qin Suling and said in a deep voice: "Qin Suling, I was originally going to marry you, why did it become your sister now?"

Qin Suling's heart moved, she knew that this was the plan of the Xue sisters.

She smiled gently, threw the visiting card in her hand in front of the Fourth Prince, and said calmly: "Your Highness, why are you asking questions when you already know the answer? You have ruined my sister's innocence, and now you want to shirk responsibility? How can this be justified in this world?"

The Fourth Prince looked at the visiting card and pastries in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

He originally thought that Qin Suling would succumb to his coercion and inducement for the honor of the family, but he did not expect that she would reject him so firmly.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would make Qin Suling pay the price for her decision.

Qin Suling glanced at the Fourth Prince indifferently, then turned around and wanted to leave.

She knew that the battle had just begun.

She must remain vigilant at all times to stay invincible in this game of power.

But the door won't open.

Qin Suling stood in the tea room, with her arms folded across her chest, a sneer on her lips, and stared at the Fourth Prince with sharp eyes.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice revealing a hint of sarcasm: "It is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince who is relaxing here. Could it be that he foresaw my arrival and is waiting here specially?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's face instantly darkened and his chest heaved as if there was a fire burning in his chest.

He slammed the table, stood up, and prepared to leave.

As a prince, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

However, just as he took a step forward, the door of the tea room was locked with a click.

He turned around in surprise, only to see Qin Suling still standing there, looking calm, as if all this was within her expectations.

The Fourth Prince was so angry that he was shaking all over. He punched the door frame hard, making a loud "bang".

He turned around, stared at Qin Suling with eyes wide open, and said with gritted teeth: "You still dare to say that you didn't use any tricks? If you hadn't spread rumors everywhere and slandered the reputation of Qin Suyu and me, how could you do such a despicable and shameless thing!"

Qin Suling smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her smile.

She said calmly, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, you are too arbitrary. When did I ever say that I like you? And when did I ever think of marrying you? All this is just your own imagination."

The Fourth Prince was stunned. He stared at Qin Suling with wide eyes, an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.

He recalled his first impression of Qin Suling. At that time, she was as beautiful as a flower and had an elegant temperament, which made him fall in love with her.

But now it seems that she is not as pure and kind as he imagined.

"It must be because you turned love into hate that you did such a thing!" the fourth prince shouted angrily.
