He Qiudi already knew that Xu Yushi was willing to come back from Lan County just for the soap formula.

He Qingya used He Qinglu to get the "process" of making soap from her, and she must have already confirmed it with Xu Yushi.

This time Xu Yushi returned to the Xu family, once the soap formula was exposed, it would be basically difficult for her to return to the He family.

It is hard to say whether He Qingya, who helped Xu Yushi secretly learn how to make soap, can be brought back.

But she is a member of the He family after all.

If she didn't follow Xu Yushi to the Xu family, there would at least be a chance of recovery.

He Qingya met He Qiudi's eyes, took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said, "Aunt, I have to take care of my mother and the little brother in her belly."

"OK then."

He Qingya pulled He Qinglu again and said, "Qinglu, come with me and my mother to Xu's house."

The soap formula was exposed.

The sister-in-law will know that it was Qinglu who told her the process of making soap.

By then, the He family's soap business will be hit hard, and the market will be taken over by the Xu family for no reason. Grandma and Dad will not let Qinglu go.

Qinglu knows nothing.

He Qingya couldn't bear to leave He Qinglu alone in the He family to bear everyone's anger.

Xu Yushi pursed her lips and said, "Qinglu, you are so weak that you can't help much even if you stay at the He family. You should go to the Xu family with mother. When father forgives mother, he will come to take us back to the He family soon."

Her thoughts are different from He Qingya's.

It’s not that I’m afraid that He Qingya will be punished by my mother-in-law and He Huaiping because of the soap formula.

Instead, she was worried that the soap incident would be exposed, and she and He Huaiping would inevitably break up and divorce. If Qinglu stayed in the He family, it would be a good thing for the He family to have an extra little maid to serve them. In a few years, Qinglu would grow up, and she could get a dowry by marrying her off.

If we take her away together, she will be a girl anyway.

By then, it would not be difficult for her to keep the sisters by her side.

After all, she has two nephews. If necessary, she can marry her two daughters to her two nephews, and then the Xu family will not ignore her.

He Qinglu shrank behind He Qiudi, looked at Xu Yushi and shook her head: "I won't go. They all bully me and ask me to do all the work. It's enough for my mother to be taken care of by my sister. I can't help much, and I eat too much! I don't want to be a burden to the Xu family."

He Qiudi held He Qinglu's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, Qingya is willing to go to Xu's house with you, and I won't stop her. But Qinglu is afraid of being bullied, so she is reluctant to go to Xu's house. Then my mother and I can't agree to let you take Qinglu with you."

Seeing this, Xu Yushi no longer forced it.

He took He Qingya back to the house, packed up his things, and left the He family while it was still early.

While they were packing up, He Qiudi gave a piece of silver to He Qinglu and asked her to give it quietly to He Qingya.

Watching the mother and daughter leaving the He family, Jin Cuihua expressed her confusion.

"Hey, she's pregnant now, and she ran to the Xu family, and she also wanted to get the IOU. Will the Xu family take her in? It's good enough that they don't kick her out directly and let her sleep on the street."

He Qiudi didn't say anything.

Wei Sixian interrupted: "Maybe she brought some benefits to the Xu family. The Xu family treated her as a guest of honor. How could they be willing to drive her away?"

After Xu Yushi came back, Wei Sixian was on guard against her trying to steal the soap formula.

Always paying attention.

A while ago, when He Qiudi was explaining to He Qinglu, she asked Qingshu to go over and listen.

She had almost spelled out the soap recipe.

Xu Yushi is even more scheming than her. Now Qi Xi is still eyeing He Huaiping in the He family, but she is bringing He Qinglu back to her parents' home with a big belly. You can tell what the trick is just by thinking about it.

My sister-in-law looks smart, so why is she so confused about this matter?

However, she won't remind you.

After all, she was also looking for an opportunity to go to Wei County and give the soap formula she had calculated to her younger brother, so that her younger brother could find someone to make the soap and get a share of the soap market.

Jin Cuihua couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

"You don't mean to say that my second sister-in-law stole the soap formula from home and wants to give it to the Xu family, right?"

As she spoke, she looked at He Qiudi nervously: "Aunt, you have been making soap with Qinglu for a while, could it be that..."

He Qiudi waved her hands and said, "It's not that simple. Making soap is not something you can learn the formula by watching others make it. It's just like cooking. Second sister-in-law has watched A Niang cook a lot. Has she learned A Niang's cooking skills?"

Only then did Jin Cuihua feel relieved.

"That's true."

Wei Sixian couldn't help but feel suspicious when she saw He Qiudi's confident look.

Could it be that, unless He Qiudi teaches me step by step, I can't learn how to make this soap just by watching all the steps?

She would have to think about it carefully when she gets the chance.

But her mother-in-law and Jin Cuihua kept a close eye on it, so she and Qingshu never found any opportunity to verify it.

Xu Yushi brought He Qiudi back to her parents' home, but it didn't cause much stir in the He family. After a few people gathered around to complain, they did what they had to do.

The pace of life in the He family continues.

Two days later, He Huaijin and He Huaibi returned home from college.

Soon they will go to take part in the academy examination held in Kuncheng. Only after passing the examination can they become scholars.

Because in He Qingya's two lives, He Huaijin and He Huaibi were both scholars who passed the imperial examination, He Qiudi did not intervene and did not show them the ancient poems, essays, and various books she found in the villa.

It won’t be too late to give it to them after they come back from the college entrance examination.

The county school gave them an early holiday so that they could come back to rest, combine work and rest, and then pack their bags and travel expenses so that they could go to Kuncheng with their classmates.

Pomegranate Village is not far from Kuncheng.

If you get up early and set off, you can reach Kuncheng in the afternoon of the third day.

He Qiudi intends to expand his business to Kuncheng and has already discussed it with He Huaian. He Huaian decides to go to Kuncheng, but Old Lady He is worried, so she lets He Huaiping accompany him.

Since we are going to Kuncheng.

Better buy some more goods.

He Qiudi originally wanted to go with them to take a look, but it was still unclear what the situation was with Xu Yushi, so someone had to stay at home.

After some thought, He Qiudi decided to stay at home.

The round trip would take six or seven days, with a two-day stay in Kuncheng.

Something happened and I can't make it back.

After her brothers come back from Kuncheng, she will look at the feedback from the soap market and then find an opportunity to see if she should go to Kuncheng.

He Huaibi and He Huaijin haven't been home for a while.

After I came back, I vaguely heard about what happened at home and couldn't help but sigh.

Both of them have been focused on studying since childhood.

I really didn't know that my second sister-in-law was that kind of person.

And the second brother actually brought his fiancée, whom he had let down, back to the He family.

numb.

But no matter what, these are the second brother's private affairs, and they, as brothers, have no right to say anything.

The two brothers stayed at home for a few days, helped make soap for the family, watched over the house repairs, packed their luggage, prepared travel expenses, and then went to Kuncheng with their agreed classmates, accompanied by He Huaiping and He Huaian.

Going to Kuncheng ten days in advance will make it easier to find an inn and get used to the environment of Kuncheng, which will be more beneficial for their exams.

After they set off for Kuncheng, He Qiudi finally came to the city to find Yan Shi with the first volume of "Dream of Red Mansions" that he had copied.
