If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

It was not until Xiaotao had been dragged away for a long time that Nanny Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

When he looked at Qin Shu again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Qin Shu gently held Madam Liu's hand and said, "Madam, you don't think that Shu'er was too cruel to this maid, do you?"

Madam Liu quickly shook her head, "How could that be? The young lady used to be too kind, and she let those bastards get away with it, and they became so arrogant that they had no limits."

Qin Shu sighed and said, "Since Second Aunt came in, Xiao Tao has been following her closely. I'm afraid she has long been Second Aunt's spy in our East Mansion. Shu'er is looking for an excuse to give her a warning today."

"Even if other girls have this idea, they have to think about it. Xiao Tao was locked up because we were afraid that she would inform Second Aunt and tell her about Nanny Chun's visit."

Aunt Liu's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears and said, "Young lady has really grown up."

It’s a pity that the master and his wife can’t see it!

Nanny Chun also came out and said, "Miss, I'd better go back and get your dowry book. I'm afraid the Second Madam will keep a closer eye on you, so don't let anything go wrong."

Qin Shu was also in urgent need of it, so she agreed upon hearing it.

After Nanny Chun left, Qin Shu thought of her dowry again and asked casually, "Who is in charge of my dowry?"

Xiao Xing quickly stepped forward and replied, "Miss, usually, Sister Xiao Tao is in charge."

Qin Shu took the milk soup handed to her by the maid, held the spoon, scooped a fingertip-sized piece, and gently put it into her mouth.

In her previous life, she used to eat milk soup every morning, but she has never tasted it again since she married into the Liu family.

During the three years she was a ghost, she smelled a lot of delicious food.

But I can only smell it, I can't eat it.

The soft, tender and smooth milk soup melts in your mouth, leaving your mouth full of fragrance.

It feels so good to be alive!

It feels so good to be able to eat delicious food!

Qin Shu gently pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and ordered, "Go find it and bring it to me."

Xiao Xing quickly responded yes.

After a while, Xiao Xing came out from the inner room holding a small black and red box with gold painting, and gently placed the box next to Qin Shu's hand.

Qin Shu put down the bowl and reached out to Xiao Xing.

Xiao Xing didn't understand.

Qin Shu asked her expressionlessly, "Where's the key?"

Xiao Xing was filled with shame, "It's in Sister Xiao Tao's hands."

"Go get it."

"Yes."

Xiao Xing didn't dare to ask anyone else for help, so she trotted over and soon got the key, panting. She put it on the box, hesitantly saying something.

Qin Shu rinsed her mouth, washed her hands, picked up the key and opened the box.

Inside was a box neatly filled with silver bills, with denominations of 10,000 taels and 1,000 taels respectively.

They are all silver bills issued by Fulon Money House.

Qin Shu took it in her hand and counted it again and again, but she was still short of one thousand taels after counting it several times.

She put the banknotes back into the box and ordered, "Go and bring Xiao Tao here."

Xiao Xing went out to pass on the message.

Madam Liu stepped forward and asked, "Miss, is there something missing?"

Qin Shu pulled the corner of her lips, "Well, one thousand taels are missing."

Aunt Liu said angrily, "This bastard!"

Qin Shu looked at him with sarcasm, and said, "It may not be Xiao Tao's doing. Maybe she was instructed by someone else?"

Aunt Liu reacted immediately, "Is it the Second Madam?"

"She definitely can't get anything from Aunt Chun, so she can only ask for some benefits from me."

When her mother gave her the silver box, she gave it to Xiaotao for safekeeping.

Until the silver box changed its owner, she didn't know whether the silver bills inside were missing or not.

One thousand taels?

Qin Shu suddenly remembered what Liu Baocai had said to her before she died in her previous life.

Liu Baocai said that his aunt gave him 1,200 taels of silver and promised him a dowry of 36 loads before he agreed to marry Qin Shu.

Could that one thousand taels be this one thousand taels?

So Second Aunt is already planning to let herself marry Liu Baocai to make room for her daughter?

Since Second Aunt values ​​the marriage with the Cheng family so much, if Qin Shu doesn't help her, she will appear to be too immature.

Xiao Tao was brought over, her head and face covered in blood, her face was pale and she looked listless.

All the maids in the room were terrified and dared not make a sound.

As soon as the maid who was holding Xiaotao let go, she fell limply to the ground.

Qin Shu slammed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table.

Xiao Tao was frightened and knelt down again.

Qin Shu lowered her eyes, looked at her expressionlessly, and said, "My dowry is short of one thousand taels."

Xiao Tao shuddered and raised her head quickly, "It wasn't taken by me."

Qin Shu looked at Xiao Tao coldly and said, "Whether you took it or not is not important. What is important is that I lost one thousand taels of silver when you were keeping the silver box."

Her slow voice was unusually clear in the dead silence of the room, and it was frighteningly ruthless, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou, if a maid steals a hundred taels of silver from her master, she will be sentenced to beheading."

One thousand taels can skin Xiao Tao alive!

"It wasn't the maid who took it." Xiao Tao was really scared this time. "It was the second wife. She said that the young lady had countless silver in her hands, and she wouldn't care even if one or two bills were missing. She presided over the funeral of the master and the mistress, and needed silver everywhere. She asked Madam Chun for money, but she was always hindered by Madam Chun. That's why she..."

Qin Shu sneered, "You are good at smoothing things over for her. How much benefit did she give you?"

Xiao Tao quickly defended herself, "Every word I said is true. If I concealed anything, I would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Madam Liu spat at her forcefully, "You're talking nonsense! All expenses for the master's affairs in the mansion are paid from the public account, there is absolutely no reason to cheat the master and shortchange him. You can fool a three-year-old child with these words, but how can you fool the young lady?"

Qin Shu broke out in a cold sweat: This was a lie that only a three-year-old child would believe, but she believed it in her previous life.

So in her previous life, she took the accounting matter from Nanny Chun and handed it over to Second Aunt.

Second Aunt took it and started to check the accounts and search the house. As a result, she found a set of head ornaments, four gold hairpins, and two jade bracelets that were on Qin Shu's dowry list in Nanny Chun's room.

Nanny Chun refused to admit that she had stolen the money, but Second Aunt insisted on sending Nanny Chun to the authorities.

In the end, Qin Shu pleaded for mercy for her mother's sake, and the second aunt agreed to sell Nanny Chun.

As soon as Nanny Chun followed the human trafficker out of the mansion, she crashed into the stone pillar in front of the gate and died.

Qin Shu silently said sorry to Nanny Chun in her heart.

Fortunately, there is still time to make up for her mistakes in this life.

In this life, my parents’ funeral still needs to be presided over by my second uncle and second aunt.

Nanny Chun must be sent away, and Manager Chang also has things to do.

In the inner courtyard, Qin Shu was not sure whether other people except the wet nurse and Xiao Xing would be coerced or bribed by her second aunt and become corrupt.

But no matter what, I must not let Second Aunt embezzle even a tael of silver before the funeral is over!

Funerals must also be conducted beautifully.
