Inside the Qin residence, Qin Suyu was chattering about the old stories she had heard from Qin Zhinan.

Her voice was full of nostalgia and emotion, but Qin Suling seemed a little impatient.

"Sister, I have something else to do. You go back first."

Qin Suling interrupted Qin Suyu with a hint of indifference in her tone.

Qin Suyu's face showed surprise and dissatisfaction. She wanted to say something, but Qin Suling had already turned and left.

She looked at Qin Suling's back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Qin Suling returned to the room and carefully put away the land deeds, house deeds and property deeds.

Then, she asked Qingdai to exchange some banknotes for small change to be used to win people's hearts in the future.

She knew that she had taken back what belonged to her, and now it was time for her to make her plans.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

Qi Qiyuan's trusted men came in carrying box after box of things.

He respectfully placed the things next to Qin Suling and said, "The master said these are for you."

Qin Suling looked at the cloth and jewelry in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that this was Qi Qiyuan's care and love for her.

Qingdai looked at these fine things with tears in her eyes. She looked at Qin Suling with admiration and gratitude in her eyes.

"Miss, these are the best things."

Qingdai's voice trembled a little: "We haven't seen these things in recent days. Any good things in the mansion belong to the second young lady alone."

Qin Suling felt a little sad when she heard Qingdai's words.

She knew that Qingdai was truly thinking about her.

She sighed and said, "I've wronged you these days."

Qingdai shook her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "This servant is not wronged, it is the young lady who is wronged!"

She picked up a piece of cloth and repeatedly measured it on Qin Suling's body: "Young lady, you are extremely beautiful. If you wear clothes made of this cloth, you will be so beautiful that fish will sink to the bottom of the water and geese will fall to the ground."

Qin Suling looked at Qingdai's serious expression and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She knew that she was not alone, and she was already very satisfied to have a maid like Qingdai by her side.

As the sun sets, its afterglow shines on the quaint courtyard of the Qin Mansion.

At this time, Qi Qiyuan came to Qin Suling's residence with brisk steps.

There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, which seemed to be dissatisfaction and expectation.

"Did you see everything?"

Qi Qiyuan's voice was filled with contempt. He looked Qin Suling up and down, frowning slightly, "Don't dress so shabby anymore. Don't embarrass me."

Qin Suling raised her eyebrows slightly, a sharp look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said softly: "It seems that we have reached a consensus."

Qi Qiyuan snorted softly without saying anything, but a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

He curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Dealing with smart people always makes people worry-free.

There was no need to say anything, the two of them already knew it.

Qi Qiyuan turned and left, leaving Qin Suling alone in deep thought.

Qin Mansion.

At this time, Xiao Cui hurried over with a look of resentment on her face.

"Second Miss, I heard someone say that General Qi from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion seems to have really taken a liking to the eldest Miss, and the boxes of treasures are being moved into the eldest Miss's room one by one."

Qin Suyu's face darkened when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces. "What's the use? No matter how much you pamper her, she is still a concubine's daughter who cannot be seen on the stage."

When she thought of what Qin Suling said that day, anger surged in her heart.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui quickly agreed, "Yes! From now on, the Second Miss will be the apple of the Qin family's eye. Won't she be squeezed and kneaded by the Miss at will?"

Qin Suyu snorted complacently, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Although she appeared disdainful on the surface, she was jealous of the favor Qin Suling received.

She pestered Qin Shizhao and asked him to give her a few boxes of things to show her status.

Qin Shizhao naturally did not dare to neglect it. He expected Qin Suyu to marry the Fourth Prince, so how could he not do as he was told?

However, this incident made Fang Rushuang feel even more uncomfortable.

Fang Rushuang sat in the house, looking at the sunset outside the window, feeling an inexplicable irritation in her heart.

She knew that the rewards Qin Shizhao gave her were taken from the public treasury she had plucked out over the years.

Every penny of this money was hard-earned. How could she not feel sorry for it?

Moreover, Qin Shizhao's high-profile reward to Qin Suyu was not clearly telling everyone in the Qin Mansion that she had been greedy for a lot over the years?

How could the old lady not complain?

The more Fang Rushuang thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She felt as if she was caught in a huge whirlpool and couldn't escape.

However, she also knew that now was not the time to think about these things. She had to find a way to scrape out some more money for emergencies.

After all, in the Qin Mansion, she not only has to deal with the challenge of Qin Suling, but also has to deal with various other complex forces.

She must remain vigilant and strong enough to be invincible in this struggle.

So Fang Rushuang took a deep breath and calmed down her anxiety.

She knew she had to calm down and plan her next move carefully.

In this Qin Mansion, only she can save herself.

Fang Rushuang was busy preparing a grand banquet.

There was a hint of solemnity between her brows, but her heart was filled with determination.

She intended this banquet to quell the discord between the sisters in the mansion in recent days, and she also wanted to use the laughter to shut up the mouths of those who spread rumors.

She knew very well that every slight movement in the mansion could lead to endless speculation from the outside world.

She wanted to use this banquet to tell everyone that everything in the Qin Mansion was under control, and those speculations and discussions were nothing but nonsense.

For this banquet, Fang Rushang specially arranged some matters for Qin Suyu, intending to let her take this opportunity to show her charm and win everyone's recognition.

Qin Suyu gladly accepted this. She knew in her heart that this was both a test from her mother and a good opportunity for her to show herself.

However, the effect of the banquet was not what she had hoped.

Although the scene was lively, Qin Suyu always felt a little empty in her heart.

She looked at those people laughing and talking happily, but couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Second Miss, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Xiao Cui looked at the faint smile on Qin Suyu's lips and couldn't help but laugh too.

Qin Suyu nodded slightly, with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes: "Yes, I was wondering if anything interesting would happen?"

Xiao Cui heard this, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Miss, why are you always so optimistic? So many things have happened in the mansion these days, and the lady must be feeling bad, so she must be making things difficult for you. But you see, she has not made any movement these days, and she has exempted you from paying respects every day. This is really a bit strange."

Qin Suyu sighed softly and looked into the distance: "You are right, these days are indeed a little unusual. However, I believe mother has her own plans. Let's just wait and see."
