When Shi Yuan got home, he said to his wife: "I remember a white jade waist plate with cranes carved on it, take it out and put it on for Brother Wen."

Brother Wen jumped up happily when he heard that, and hugged Shi Yuan's arm, "Thank you, Daddy."

"Okay." Jia Qin was full of smiles, knowing that just now on the street, she saw many children from rich families dressed up, and Shi Yuan was shocked that his own children were far from being able to compare with his childhood.

Jia Qin went to the warehouse, and when she got the box, she opened it and flipped through it, and randomly picked out a few more things. The child is getting older, so she should pay attention, otherwise, going out will be low-key and shabby.

When she was about to go out with her things, Jia Qin subconsciously glanced at the place where the scrolls were usually placed, and suddenly saw that the box above had moved.She was taken aback, opened the box and took a look, knowing what she knew.

She pretended not to know, took the things out, distributed them to the two children, and asked the maid to serve them, quickly washed and changed their clothes, and prepared dinner.

On the other hand, he went to the dark compartment in the house, carefully took out the painting scroll that was put in yesterday, unfolded it to make sure it was clear, and put it back again.

Jia Qin grew up in a different environment than others. Her stepmother was harsh and unkind, she said nothing on the surface, and never used any means in secret.So even now, she is habitually on guard.

For example, after taking the scroll yesterday, she conveniently put an identical box on another grid in its place.In the long box, there are also yellow tail leaves, which are a kind of dry leaves that prevent moisture.She has her own habit of arranging, even the maids don't know it.

But she herself knew very well that the box had been touched, the painting scroll inside had been opened, and the arrangement of the yellow tail leaves was completely different.

Someone wanted to take the painting inside, but put it back because they found it was different.This person can only be the person in his own home who holds the key to the private vault.

Fortunately, she has a habit of locking the most valuable things in a dark compartment in the bedroom, and no one has the key except herself.Even, except for Shi Yuan and a few maidservants, no one knew where this secret compartment was.

Jia Qin remained calm on the surface, went to the shop as usual the next day, and told Brother Wen that she would go out to buy a few things for Brother Wen, and then go back after shopping. She only brought a little girl with her, and let the other two go back first.

Because it's not a big family, Jia Qin doesn't have so many rules when buying people. She works as a maid at home and sells groceries in the shop.The big maid next to her was not so much that she could be mentioned because she served her well, but she was not as capable as at home and outside, so she was mentioned.

When she went out, there was no rule of being surrounded by maids and women. Everyone was very used to it, and they followed the arrangement without any objection.

When the two servant girls went back, Cui Gu asked Bai Yun to rest, "I will resettle the house for Madam, you should take a rest."

"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Yun was not polite, she was indeed tired from busy work in the shop today.

Cuigu opened the door, finished cleaning in a short while, closed the room, and prepared to clean up the things inside.It is also customary to close the room, so we can't let the little girl look at the things in the master's room, especially some private things.

After closing the door, Cui Gu tiptoed to the head of the bed, and gently removed a painting hanging on the bed, revealing a hidden compartment embedded in the wall.She fumbled for a key from her sleeve, opened the secret compartment, and saw the rectangular box inside, she was secretly delighted.

Just when she was about to tie the box to her leg and take it out, the door of the house slammed open from the outside.

Cui Gu raised her head, her expression was terrified, and in a flash, she understood that all this was planned by the madam.

"Madam, servant girl..." Cui Gu knelt on the ground, she shouldn't have the key to the secret compartment, she shouldn't have opened the secret compartment, let alone take out the things in the secret compartment.She had no way to justify herself, let alone explain.

Jia Qin closed her eyes, closed the door, and there were two rough envoys guarding the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

"I bought you from outside. At that time, I went to pick someone up. You hugged my leg and called your wife for help. You told me not to go to a dirty place, and begged me to buy you. You will repay me like a cow and a horse. Now, That's how you repay me."

Jia Qin spoke unhurriedly, with no expression on her face, and the eyes that looked at Cui Gu were cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Ma'am, it's the servant who deserves to die, the servant who deserves to die. The servant has found his younger brother, the servant's mother and younger brother, the servant cannot leave them alone."

Cuigu is a servant, the master's family has fallen, the whole family has been sold out, and the divisions are scattered.These years, she only thought that there would be no family reunion, but she did not expect that her mother and younger brother were also somewhere in Jinling City, but the situation was worrying.Seeing that Cui Gu was worried, their master's family took Qiao Qiao even more, and refused to let her redeem him without 100 taels of silver.

"For 100 taels of silver, you put me to death? For 100 taels of silver, you dare to ignore the lives of dozens of people from all over the historian? Even if you rescued your mother and your brother, what do you think? , you can live. Of course, dying together is also your own sin."

What Jia Qin hates the most is this kind of person, who can disregard the life and death of others for his own selfishness, and it is plausible to say it.

"No, no, it's just a painting, I didn't take anything else." Cui Gu quickly argued.

"Do you know who wants this painting and what they plan to do with it?" Jia Qin looked at her.

"Yes, it's Mrs. Xiang. She said she wanted me to do her a favor, so she came forward to help me redeem my mother and younger brother. The servant was temporarily infatuated, so I begged my wife to forgive me." Cui Gu knew that she could no longer hide it, so she could only To be honest, I hope my wife can spare her for the sake of her hard work for so many years.

"I see." Jia Qin had already figured it out in her heart, and now she just made a confirmation.

"Madam, servant girl..." Cui Gu knelt on the ground and crawled forward, wanting to beg her to forgive herself.

"Let me think about it." Jia Qin stroked her forehead. She needed to think about how to solve this problem.

A few days later, Shi Xiangyun, who hadn't seen anyone, had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the Shi's shop again. Seeing Jia Qin's face as usual, he was secretly relieved.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Why didn't I see Cui Gu today? This girl met me last time and said she would teach me how to make fried quail at home."

Jia Qin smiled and said: "You don't know, she has found her mother and younger brother, and just redeemed him, I asked her to settle him in a few days before coming back."

"Yeah, there's this thing, you really have a bodhisattva's heart." Shi Xiangyun gritted his teeth in his heart, only to feel that Cui Gu had opened his mouth, and Jia Qin's heart softened and let her get what she wanted, so she would be gone and help others steal reason for something.

"It can't be helped. If it's someone else, it's fine. She's been with me for so long anyway. I heard from her roommate that she cried secretly several times. I don't dare to tell her unless I ask her. Now that I know it, I can't ignore it. What Jia Qin said was reasonable, and Shi Xiangyun knew that his plan had failed, so he couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment.

It seems that Cui Gu didn't tell this matter, this Shi Xiangyun is not worried, since Cui Gu didn't do this, naturally she dare not speak out to find trouble for herself.

"Since I've heard it, I'll join in. Let this girl take the ten taels of silver to Cui Gu. It's my kindness." Shi Xiangyun took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the maid next to Jia Qin.

Jia Qin nodded and asked the servant girl to accept it, and the servant girl took it and said, "The servant thanked Mrs. Xiang on behalf of Sister Cuigu."

When Shi Xiangyun thought of the news from the palace, she was very anxious. She didn't want to wait any longer, so she gave a wink, and Jia Qin told the maid to back down knowingly.

"What are you going to do again?" Jia Qin was still as gentle as ever, as if she had really put the previous unhappiness behind her.

Shi Xiangyun looked outside, made sure there was no one there, sat back and said, "Actually, I'm doing it for your own good. As long as she's here, my cousin's heart will never be on yours."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Jia Qin's face was instantly filled with anger. This was a scar in her heart that no one had ever exposed in front of her.

"If I don't tell you, can you deceive yourself and others forever? As long as she exists, Shi Yuan will never have you in his heart." Not to be outdone, Shi Xiangyun also stood up and looked directly at her.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" Jia Qin couldn't believe what she heard, with a shocked expression on her face.

"Yes, just like what you heard, the emperor's empress doesn't like her, and she wants to help the son change to an obedient Fujin. You think about it for yourself, there is no harm for everything, it's good for you, me, and everyone. "Since Shi Xiangyun said it, he simply opened up and said it all.

"You're crazy, really crazy." Jia Qin's heart was pounding, and she couldn't believe what she heard.

To murder a person, to say so openly.The queen empress, the aloof master of the harem, actually wanted to murder Lin Daiyu who had nothing to do with her.

For the first time, she felt the fear of the rich and powerful, and even more so, the fear of the imperial palace.Shi Xiangyun is just a stepdaughter who entered the palace, she is only the aunt of the fourth elder brother. Up to now, she doesn't know if she has a boy or a girl, and she has become crazy like this.

If she really gave birth to a son and returned to Yuhui to raise her by herself, I don't know how crazy she will be.

"Does your husband know about this?" Jia Qin still wanted to wake her up. Lin Ruhai was kind to Xiang Xisheng.If he found out, could he let Shi Xiangyun go?

Shi Xiangyun's face was a little unnatural, but he still insisted: "He knows, and he will only thank me."

"If I don't agree, are you still planning to kill me?" Jia Qin was already thinking about the worst possibility.

Shi Xiangyun shook his head, "You will definitely agree, because I know that if anyone among us hates her the most, it must be you. I won't force you to agree now. I will wait for your answer tomorrow."

"You're so sure." Jia Qin looked up at her.

"Yes, because... I am also a woman." Shi Xiangyun chuckled, how could she not understand her dreams when she was a girl, everything she had dreamed of.

Shi Xiangyun left, and Jia Qin sat blankly, breaking apart and crushing every word Shi Xiangyun said, and swallowed it word by word.
