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

Xie Xiangyu was a man of swift and decisive character, and once she made a decision, she would not hesitate. As she spoke, she walked quickly to the curtain that had been set up outside in advance to accommodate the child.

?

Xie Liuzheng was stunned. When he ran after her, he found that she was already sitting in front of the dressing table, taking off all the hairpins on her head.

?

In order to show her importance to this competition, Xie Xiangyu put on heavy makeup and clothes, which she couldn't take off for a while, so she waved to Xie Liuzheng to help her.

?

"Come on, time is running out. Help me comb my hair back into a bun."

?

There was obviously no time to continue the argument, so Xie Liuzheng reluctantly stepped forward and helped Xie Xiangyu comb her hair again, then replaced her original gold-woven shawl with the light purple one she was wearing.

?

Xie Xiangyu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction. "That's right, now I look like a mother."

?

Xie Liuzheng was stunned when he heard this, and some fragments of memories that he had never noticed before emerged in his mind.

?

Every time Xie Xiangyu came back from outside, she went to greet her, but Xie Xiangyu would stop her from getting too close. Every time, she would take off her jewelry before hugging her. Every time...

?

It turns out that maternal love is hidden in countless details like this, but she didn't understand it before. Instead, she thought that Xie Xiangyu was worried that she would break the jewelry, or didn't want her to get close to her. She was sad for a long time and gradually didn't dare to get close to Xie Xiangyu anymore.

?

At this moment, she suddenly understood. Xie Xiangyu didn't let her get close because she was worried that she would be covered in dust or odor after coming back from outside, and she took off her jewelry because she was worried that she would hurt her...

?

Xie Liuzheng's eyes were red, and she leaned against Xie Xiangyu, "Mother, you love your daughter the most."

?

Xie Xiangyu turned around and held her hand, "Silly child, you are my only daughter, who else can I love if not you?"

?

After the competition began, only Xie Liuzheng sat in the Xie family's seat. Other merchants couldn't help but ask each other, wondering why Xie Xiangyu didn't come in person.

?

Although the Xie family has never participated in the high-end fabric market, no one would underestimate the Xie family. The reason is simple: the Xie family is rich, at least in the Jiangnan area, no one can compete with them.

?

Money can make the devil work, let alone such a small matter as recruiting a few top masters.

?

Xie Xiangyu announced that the Xie family would participate in this competition, and all the merchants were on high alert. They didn't want to lose, but they felt that the hope of winning over the Xie family was slim.

?

The meeting started for a while, and when it was Xie's turn to present their works, Xie Xiangyu had not yet shown up. The merchants were overjoyed.

?

"No matter how much money the Xie family has, it is not easy for them to surpass old silk factories like us in a short period of time."

?

"I've said it before, women are not as good as men after all. They can do small things, but men are better at pursuing perfection."

?

"It's a good thing that Shopkeeper Xie is not here, so we won't lose too badly."

?

The merchants were talking in low voices, when someone suddenly shouted, "Thank you Xiangyu!"

?

The others were all stunned at the same time, and a little surprised that the man was making a fuss. Xie Xiangyu was the head of the Xie family, so it was normal for her to be there in person. Was it worth making such a fuss?

?

"Xie Xiangyu, it's really Xie Xiangyu."

?

"Look, she's on the display."

?

"Xie Xiangyu is trying too hard, isn't she even willing to save face just to win?"

?

"To compete with a performer on the same stage is simply a disgrace to our business."

?

"Drive the Xie family out of Yangzhou!"

?

Xie Liuzheng turned a deaf ear to the discussions and accusations, staring at the booth with sweat on his palms.

?

Xie Xiangyu was wearing a light blue double-breasted Pipa jacket, a white moon-shaped horse-faced skirt, two gold-shimmering green Ruyi ribbons tightly tied around her waist, and a light purple soft smoke silk shawl. Her long, dark hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, with six long hairpins made of white jade inserted in it, and a string of light purple lilac flowers on her temples.

?

With one hand gently lifting the hem of her skirt and the other holding a little child, she walked slowly across the Nine-Curve Floating Bridge with a smile on her face. In front and behind her, there was a child who was not yet a head of hair, laughing and chatting with Xie Xiangyu.

?

The three children were all wearing scarlet short jackets and long trousers, with ragged cuffs and hems embroidered with three-color twined flower patterns. There were colorful butterflies embroidered on the hems of their clothes, and the light on the wings flowed as they moved, making them look alive.

?

The four of them, one big and three small, were as leisurely and natural as a mother and child boating on the lake, stunning everyone and silencing even the previous discussions.

?

Become!

?

Xie Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes slightly red with excitement.

?

Qiuyue and Chunlian were also very excited. They held each other's hands and cheered in a low voice, "Madam is so beautiful and gentle."

?

"Those kids are already pretty, and wearing these clothes makes them even cuter than in the pictures."

?

The Xie family’s work was ultimately no match for the other two time-honored brands and took third place.

?

On the way back, Xie Xiangyu was worried that Xie Liuzheng would be disappointed, so she held her hand and comforted her: "Our fabrics were destroyed on the eve of the competition. If you hadn't come up with such a good idea, I would have withdrawn from the competition long ago."

?

"I'm already very satisfied with getting third place. It's also our fault for not having enough experience and letting others take advantage of us. We'll be more prepared next year. Are we still afraid of not getting first place?"

?

Xie Liuzheng snuggled up to Xie Xiangyu with a smile and said softly, "What mother said is true. It's already impressive that we can get third place in the first competition. We are not like other families who rely on being famous in the competition to do business. Winning or losing is actually not that important."

?

The mother and daughter returned home chatting and laughing, and asked the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal to celebrate.

?

Some people, however, were furious about them participating in the competition and getting a place.

?

"Didn't you say that everything has been arranged and I don't need to worry about it? This is the result of your arrangement?"

?

Facing Qin Shou's questioning, Qin Guangjin was embarrassed and tried to explain, "Manager Chen clearly told me that he had completely destroyed the fabrics that the Xie family prepared for the competition. It was completely beyond repair. Who would have thought..."

?

"Who can think of it? You can't think of anything. Do you think your brain is beautiful?"

?

Qin Shou interrupted Qin Guangjin impatiently, "I really don't know what's the point of me recognizing you as my father."

?

"Other fathers have money and status, but what about you? You can't even coax a woman, and you've caused me to be looked down upon. Why did you give birth to me in the first place?"

?

Qin Guangjin wanted to explain that he had really tried his best and had spent thousands of taels of silver just to bribe Manager Chen. But he was afraid that Qin Shou would be even more upset, so he didn't dare to say more.

?

He humbly assured Qin Shou, "Don't worry, our silk shop will be open for business in three days. In less than a year, we will definitely drive the Xie family out of Yangzhou."

?

Qin Shou frowned and asked worriedly, "What can you do?"

?

"You don't have to worry about that. Just study hard and try to get first place in the exam next year. If that doesn't work, getting third place would be good too."

?

Qin Guangjin is full of confidence in the new plan and promises that it will only succeed and not fail.

?

"I have been with Xie Xiangyu for more than 20 years. I know her business methods very well. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with her?"
