The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

"Wicked girl, why don't you kneel down!"

Qin Guangjin scolded Xie Liuzheng without any reason and then slapped her in the face.

Xie Liuzheng was beaten so hard that she saw stars and fell to the ground. Her jade hairpin fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Her hair was messed up and she looked so pitiful.

Qin Shou laughed secretly, his eyes provoking Xie Liuzheng unscrupulously. His face of a smug villain was as ugly as it could be.

"Are you okay, my dear son-in-law? My daughter is so ignorant that she wants to confine you to Gusu. You are a man with great ambitions, so how can you be trapped by the dirty tricks of these little girls?" Qin Guangjin said as he was about to help Qin Shou, but was kicked away by someone from nowhere.

"You bastard! It's not your turn to educate my daughter." As he spoke, he slapped Qin Guangjin again, making him see stars.

Xie Liuzheng saw the right moment and nestled in Xie Xiangyu's arms, crying aggrievedly, "Mother, I don't know what I did wrong to make my father so angry that he wanted to beat me to death. Is it wrong to stop my fiancé from being obsessed with prostitutes?"

A touch of emotion flashed across Xie Xiangyu's eyes, and she began to reflect on whether this marriage was right or wrong.

Now that everyone is here, it's time for Xie Liuzheng to go on stage and perform.

"Since you said that you and Young Master Qin are innocent, then I will believe you this time and invite your seriously ill mother to come and let her tell the truth in person."

Shu'er quickly exchanged glances with Qin Shou. They hadn't arranged anything for the subsequent scenes yet. What should they do now?

As they were talking, two servants came over carrying a stretcher. A pale-faced woman sat on the stretcher. She started crying when she saw Shu'er. "My daughter! You didn't even know you were deceived by that Master Qin. How could he really like you? He only wanted the baby in your belly. Oh, my poor daughter~"

The woman cried sadly, and the dean and a group of candidates also understood what was going on. Shu'er and Qin Shou's affair could be escaped, but the child in Shu'er's belly could not escape. After the baby was born, a drop of blood would be used for the test of paternity, and they would naturally know who the biological father was.

Qin Shou stood up in shock, walked forward and grabbed the woman by the collar, "You are such a good procuress, you actually pretended to be Shu'er's mother and wanted to deceive the headmaster. Tell me! Who told you to do this?" After saying that, he glanced in the direction of Xie Liuzheng.

After glancing at him, he continued, "Do you know what it means to falsely accuse a candidate? You will be sent to jail!"

When she heard that she was going to be sent to jail, the madam shrank back in fear, then immediately admitted her mistake and took out a silver note worth 100 taels from her pocket, "Miss Xie asked me to do this, she gave me 100 taels."

Xie Liuzheng also got up from Xie Xiangyu's arms, pointed at the madam and angrily cursed: "You old woman are so shameless that you want to frame me. You said I asked you to do it, do you have any evidence?"

Qin Shou glared at the madam again.

The madam immediately said, "Yes, there is Miss Xie's signature on this banknote. Mrs. Xie will know at a glance that the signature cannot be forged."

Xie Xiangyu snatched the banknote and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, she turned to look at Xie Liuzheng and asked, "Where did you lose this banknote?"

"No, my daughter gave it to her."

Xie Xiangyu frowned, looking very disappointed, "How foolish!"

Xie Liuzheng pulled her sleeve and advised: "Mother, please be patient. I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

After persuading him, he looked in the direction of the headmaster and bowed, "Headmaster, you are a wise man. I believe you already know who is right and who is wrong. Please give justice to the innocent people."

"The candidate Qin Shou has disregarded the mountain rules and is unfilial and unbrotherly, so he is expelled from the mountain." The head monk stood up from his chair, turned around, put his hands behind his back and no longer looked at him, he was extremely disappointed in him.

"Why, Headmaster? The student was wronged. The student was really wronged. Shu'er and the madam have already restored justice to the student."

He knelt at the feet of the headmaster, tugged at his robe, and begged him to look at him again.

He cannot be expelled from the academy. After passing the exam, he will need to rely on the influence of the dean to get promoted. He must not cut off contact with the academy.

Xie Liuzheng really couldn't bear to see such a crying scene. She wanted to make Qin Shou taste the bitterness she had experienced in her previous life. He begged for mercy so quickly, which was not fun at all. She advised: "Master Qin, if I were you, let go and don't embarrass yourself."

"It's you! It's all you did, right? You are a witch who bewitched the headmaster. My fellow disciples, let's kill this witch together!" He glanced around with bloodshot eyes, but unfortunately no one stepped forward.

"Junior Brother Qin, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Xie. You have already been crowned, so naturally you have to pay for your mistake." The speaker was the direct disciple of the dean, the eldest senior brother of Bailu Academy. If there had not been a funeral in his family and the three years of mourning, Qin Shou would never have won the top spot.

"Big Brother, why do you also speak for her? Have you been bewitched by her?" Qin Shou's eyes were full of disbelief.

"I didn't mislead anyone. It was your own words that revealed your weakness." Xie Liuzheng said.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. There is nothing wrong with what I said, there is nothing wrong with what Shu'er said, and there is nothing wrong with what the madam said." Qin Shou shook his head frantically. Everything was under his control, so how could it suddenly jump out of his control?

"Look, you're showing your weakness again." Xie Liuzheng sighed, "No one among the scholars on the mountain knew the madam of the brothel, but you recognized her at a glance. Do you still dare to say that you have nothing to do with the brothel and Shu'er?"

"So that's how it is..." Qin Shou fell to the ground, his face full of loneliness and vicissitudes. There was no trace of the proud look he had when he first entered the mountain gate.

The play ended and everyone dispersed.

Xie Xiangyu was walking in front, and Xie Liuzheng quickly caught up with her, "Mother, you have seen Qin Shou's character. Even if he graduates from high school, he will not treat his daughter well. His daughter wants to break off the engagement with him."

"No! Although he has bad behavior, he is talented and is a top scholar. What happened today is the leverage we have over him. You can rest assured to marry him and let him be your wife. With leverage in hand, he will treat you well.

When you give birth to a son and secure your status as an official's wife, you can find a pack of medicine powder to poison him to death, and then I will pass on all the Xie family's property to you. In this way, you will no longer be a lowly merchant, but will have a mountain of gold and silver, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes..."

"Mother..." Xie Xiangyu stopped Xie Liuzheng from speaking. She had always been decisive and was not used to others going against her decisions. Moreover, all this was for Xie Liuzheng's good.

Xie Liuzheng did not keep up with her pace, but slowed down, took the two banknotes from Qiuyue, handed one to the madam and one to Shu'er, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam Liu, the play was well performed."

Mother Liu smiled faintly, "Young Miss is very wealthy, I am ashamed to accept her."

The Xie family's wealth is well-known throughout Gusu. Although their main business is silk, they also dabble in other things, including brothels.

"Miss, I have done everything you said. I wonder if you will keep your promise?" Shu'er asked, holding her hand, without taking the banknote.

"Of course. I always keep my word. You are now the second manager of the Rouge Shop. You must run the business well in the future. If there is a loss, you will be held responsible." Xie Liuzheng forced the banknote into her hand.

Having just come out of the brothel, she should buy some house and clothes. Moreover, she was pregnant and had many places to spend money.

"But I'm curious about one thing."

Shu'er put away the banknote and said, "Excuse me, Miss."

"You really have never fallen in love with Qin Shou. What if he passes the imperial examination? Even though he won't marry you, you'll be fine as a concubine. Plus, you're already pregnant with his child. Can you really bear to let the child be born without a father?" Xie Liuzheng asked the question that was in her mind.

Shu Er chuckled, "Miss, you are joking. I grew up in a brothel and I know a man's heart and money best. If a man like Qin Shou becomes successful, the first thing he would do is to get rid of me and the child."

She sighed and continued, "Besides, men are unreliable after all. Only by relying on yourself can you last long. Miss is a woman, and I am also a woman. Only women will help women, and men will only suppress us and make us live under their shadow forever."

Xie Liuzheng laughed, "Well said, I haven't heard such straightforward words in a long time. I wish you a smooth road ahead." After saying that, he hugged her gently.

Shu'er was somewhat touched. After all, she was born in a brothel, yet Xie Liuzheng did not despise her. She hugged him back with shaking hands and whispered in his ear: "I know a secret that may be helpful to what the young lady is planning..."

After hearing her words, the light in Xie Liuzheng's eyes became brighter.
