The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

Nanny Dai’s heart seemed to have stopped beating in fear!

"Second Miss, don't say anything nonsense. This is simply not happening!"

"The old lady is your grandmother. How can you make such assumptions about her?"

"Someone must have done it on purpose..."

Before she could finish, Shen Qiyin interrupted her in a calm voice, "But is it about grandma's distant cousin in Hanzhou, my hometown?"

Nanny Dai’s eyelids twitched suddenly!

She tried to raise her lips, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying: "What, what distant cousin? Where did the second young lady hear this nonsense?"

"Don't listen to what others say."

"The old man passed away early. As the saying goes, there are many gossips around a widow. The old lady raised the child alone, so it is inevitable that there will be some gossips. But you are a junior, how can you take it seriously!"

Shen Qiyin looked at her calmly for a while, as if he was evaluating the truthfulness of what Nanny Dai said.

After a while, she sighed softly and slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Nanny Dai was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her say, "Forget it, since Nanny doesn't want to talk, I won't force you to do anything. I'll just go and ask Grandmother directly."

Aunt Dai was shocked: "What are you asking?!"

Shen Qiyin looked innocent: "Of course I'd ask her if she still has any contact with that cousin."

"Oh, but this will put you in danger."

Nanny Dai looked puzzled.

Shen Qiyin kindly explained to her: "How did I know about the affair between my cousin and my grandmother? Would my grandmother think that I just guessed it out of thin air?"

"Or was it you, Madam, who didn't keep your mouth shut and let it leak out?"

Aunt Dai flatly denied: "I'm not! I didn't! You are talking nonsense!"

Shen Qiyin chuckled: "Madam, why are you so nervous?"

"Of course I know you are innocent, but it's useless for me to know that. You have to make your grandmother believe this."

"But if it were you, would you believe it?"

Nanny Dai thought to herself, of course I don’t believe it!

Who would have thought that she could guess so accurately!

Seeing that Nanny Dai's face was full of worry, Shen Qiyin sat back on the stool beside the millstone and continued slowly, "Mammy is in a difficult situation now, and you have never thought of using this secret to blackmail Grandmother to make your life more comfortable. I think you know in your heart that if the old matter is brought up again, Grandmother will never let you go."

"Even if you get the money, I'm afraid you won't live long enough to spend it."

"It's the same if I mention this to my grandmother now. The first person she will suspect is still you! And only you!"

Aunt Dai was about to cry: "...What on earth are you going to do?"

"Madam, you can't even protect yourself, but you still care about what I want to do. I'm so touched." Shen Qiyin looked relieved, but then she asked, "So, do you want to tell me or not?"

Nanny Dai: "I was blinded by greed and offended you, Second Miss, but I was also slapped in the face, and now I am being driven out of the house. Please be merciful and let me go."

"I let her go." Shen Qiyin's eyes were gentle. "If you tell me about my grandmother, I won't go to her directly to verify it. Naturally, she won't doubt you. Aren't you safe?"

"And I'm not asking for nothing. I've even prepared some money for you. Otherwise, if I take a dose of poison, how long do you think you can last?"

Shen Qiyin's tone was too casual and normal, without any of the fierceness and evil that she used to threaten people. But the gentler her attitude was, the more creepy Nanny Dai felt.

Indeed, she is still willing to pay money and negotiate with me in a nice way now. What can I do if she loses her patience later and turns against me?

Thinking about the old lady's behavior since the second young lady had someone beat her, Nanny Dai was also disheartened.

Under the double attack, Aunt Dai finally gritted her teeth and said, "...Okay, I'll tell you!"

It turned out that when Old Madam Shen was young, she had a childhood sweetheart, who was her distant cousin, named Guo An.

He was good at studying and was determined to become an official in the court. That year, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Who would have thought that after this departure, there would be no news at all.

As for Old Madam Shen, she had reached the age for marriage and there was no time to delay, so her parents arranged for her to marry Shen Qiyin's grandfather.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen passed away early, leaving Mrs. Shen a widow and unemployed. Life was really difficult for her.

It happened that at this time, Guo An returned home in glory and went back to worship his ancestors, so he brought his mother and children to the capital to take care of them.

As a result, after taking care of each other for a long time, they finally became one.

Later, Guo An's career was not going well and he was demoted and sent to Yanzhou, and the two broke up.

"Yanzhou is thousands of miles away from Shangjing. After that, they never met again." Pulling away from the memories, Nanny Dai sighed: "Think about it now, it has been more than ten years."

"According to what you said, Guo An took such good care of my grandmother, but didn't my father notice anything wrong?"

"…At the beginning, the master was still young, how could he understand these things." Nanny Dai looked a little embarrassed: "Although he grew up later, the old lady and Madam Guo had a good relationship, and it was common sense for the two families to have exchanges, so he didn't think much about it."

Shen Qiyin: “…”

So it turns out that Guo An has a wife!

She just talked on and on for a long time but didn't mention it.

Also, her grandmother had a good relationship with Mrs. Guo, and slept with her husband behind her back?

What's the matter!

All that needed to be said was said, and Nanny Dai got the silver as she wished. When she sent Shen Qiyin out, she couldn't help but ask, "I still can't figure it out, Second Miss, how did you know about that old man Guo?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin smiled faintly: "Madam, are you sure you want to know?"

"Uh..." Nanny Dai's eyebrows jumped and she changed her mind: "... Please go slowly. Come back if you have any questions."

"it is good."

In fact, Shen Qiyin knew Guo An because of his past life.

When Shen Cang sent people to bring her back from the farm and prepared to marry her to Qin Li, she had met Guo An in the mansion. She felt strange at the time. How could her grandmother, who was so profit-driven, support a distant cousin who was not related to her at all for three years!

Therefore, after learning that Madam Shen might have an affair, the first person she suspected was Guo An!

I didn’t expect that my guess would be right.

After leaving Nanny Dai's residence, Shen Qiyin walked towards Guangrentang and unexpectedly met Si Tunan on the way.

She was wearing well-fitting clothes. Although they were not made of expensive material, they were clean and tidy.

Her hair was combed neatly and no longer looked dirty as before.

He also saw Shen Qiyin, and ran over quickly.

Shen Qiyin felt strange: "Shouldn't you be studying at Master Wu's house?"

"The teacher has to teach in the academy during the day, so he only has time to teach me in the morning and evening. I finish the homework assigned by the teacher in the morning, and then run errands for others after lunch. It helps me keep fit and earn a little money."

He now lives and eats at the Master's house, and even his clothes and shoes are bought for him by the Master, so he wants to earn some money to supplement the family income.

Shen Qiyin nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How was the harvest?"

"...Not so good." Si Tunan's face was downcast, and his tone was downward: "Sometimes I can make a few copper coins if I'm lucky, and sometimes I can't make a penny."

"Then do you want to come to the infirmary to help?"

The weather has suddenly turned cold recently, and many people have fallen ill. Her senior brother sometimes has to go to the mountains to collect herbs, and she has to run between Qiying Pavilion and the Marquis' Mansion. Occasionally, they are not at home, and her junior brother is diagnosing the illness. Chunsheng is the only one responsible for getting the medicine, and sometimes she has to boil the medicine, so she is inevitably too busy.

It would be better if someone could help.

"Five cents a day, settled on the same day."

"Five cents?!"

"Too little?"

"No, I didn't expect you to be so generous this time!"

"……"The curse was quite dirty.

Si Tunan covered his mouth and chuckled, saying, "Why are you so kind to help me?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin frowned, but soon relaxed her brows. She said calmly, "I said it the day we first met that I only do business with people and never show kindness to others."

"You think you are helping me out of kindness, but I didn't know it was just a deliberate plan."

Si Tunan was stunned.

Shen Qiyin's words were so calm that they were almost cold. She said, "Five cents a day, only half a day's work, that's 150 cents a month. Although it's not much, there's no shortage of people to do it."

"But I chose you, a little kid. Don't you want to think about why?"

"Why, why?"

"Because you are Master Wu's student, there is only benefit and no harm in making friends with you."

Si Tunan's young heart suffered a huge blow.

He thought that she wanted to help him because she treated him as a friend.

He still didn't give up, and said excitedly: "Then, then you can just not tell me!"

"That would be deceiving, wouldn't it? I don't like to lie." said Miss Shen, who often tells lies.

"..."

It would be better to lie to him.

After agreeing with Shen Qiyin on the time to go to the clinic to work tomorrow, Situnan left with his broken heart in his hands.

Shen Qiyin saw that it was getting late, so after waiting for Rendong, they went back to the Shen family together.

When she returned to Haitang Courtyard, she saw from afar that there seemed to be two big "囍" characters pasted on the gate of Shen Yaozu's courtyard, and two red silk ribbons tied on the door knocker.

The footsteps gradually stopped, and Shen Qiyin's brows darkened slightly.

Xianglan happened to be passing by not far away, so she stopped her and asked, "Why are you so happy, second brother?"

“Um…” Xianglan lowered her head deeply, seeming to be hesitant to speak: “…Yes, yes, old lady, you will be the main general…”

At this point, she quickly raised her head and glanced at Honeysuckle, then continued with difficulty: "I want to assign Miss Honeysuckle to the Second Young Master as his concubine."
