The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

"Miss Xie is very generous. I can't compare to her." Shen Qiyin said this modestly, but the half-smile on her face showed that it was not the case at all.

"I'm just curious, did you pay for the 140 taels of silver yourself? Or did the Minister's Mansion pay for it?"

Xie Qing's heart tightened.

Shen Qiyin continued, "If you show off your power and ask the Feng family to pay for it, then it's not surprising. After all, it's someone else's money, so you won't feel bad about spending it."

Her words made Xie Qing tremble with fear.

She hurriedly looked at Feng Ruoying beside her, only to see that she was also looking at her, foolishly asking for confirmation from her.

At this point, she could only pretend to be calm and said, "Miss, you underestimate me. My Xie family still has this little money."

Feng Ruoying subconsciously asked, "Then why do you always spend my monthly salary on clothes?"

Xie Qing: “…”

"Ying'er, I'm just venting my anger for you!" Is she stupid? Why is she trying to sabotage her?

"...Oh." Feng Ruoying lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, cousin."

It's a good sleep.

When the sisters went out, they did not bring so much silver, so they had to ask the servants to go back and get it, and they stayed in Qingyin Pavilion and waited.

During this period, Shen Qiyin did not leave.

Feng Ruoying felt strange: "What are you waiting for?"

"Just wait and see the joke."

"Where's the joke?"

"If someone brags too much and can't get the money back later, maybe this flute will come back to me."

"Impossible!" Feng Ruoying gritted her teeth and said, "My cousin's maid will bring the silver back soon, I'm sure of that!"

Shen Qiyin was silent for a moment, then asked her in confusion: "Why are you chewing that thing?"

At the end, he muttered quietly: "No wonder my mouth smells..."

After saying that, she silently moved away from Feng Ruoying.

Now Feng Ruoying was completely furious.

Fortunately, Xie Qing's maid came back in time. After paying the silver, Xie Qing quickly pulled her away, fearing that if she left a step later, Feng Ruoying would pounce on Shen Qiyin and bite her.

But when she passed by Shen Qiyin, she said, "Since we are destined to meet, I would like to advise you that you should be self-aware and not covet things that do not belong to you."

"There are some ordinary bamboo flutes over there, which are more suitable for a girl."

Shen Qiyin remained silent for a rare time after hearing this and let her walk away from him.

After they left, the shopkeeper of Qingyin Pavilion took out some silver and gave it to Shen Qiyin.

Fifty taels of silver.

"These ten taels are the deposit from yesterday." The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear: "These forty taels are your share of the bill."

turn out to be--

When Shen Qiyin saw Feng Ruoying just now, he guessed that she might come to cause trouble, so he made an agreement with the shopkeeper in advance that she would help him sell the flute at a high price, and they would split the part exceeding the original price 50-50.

But now there are five more taels.

She was confused.

But now that she had the money, she no longer had the motivation to ignore the feeling of needles pricking her throat and speak. She just tilted her head slightly to express her confusion.

The shopkeeper understood and explained, "The girl has contributed a lot to this, so she should get the lion's share."

He spoke politely, but Shen Qiyin did not believe it.

As the saying goes, all businessmen are dishonest.

She didn't believe he could be so kind.

The reason why he gave up the money he had obtained was probably to "keep the mouth shut". Otherwise, if the matter were to spread, it would be difficult to do business in the future.

Shen Qiyin was not a serious person, so he did not point this out.

She glanced at the rows of flutes and signaled to the shopkeeper that it was time to take out the flute she had actually ordered yesterday and give it to her.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "...To be honest, there is a nobleman who also likes the purple jade flute you ordered."

"He's upstairs right now. Why don't you go upstairs and discuss whether you can give it up?"

The shopkeeper's attitude was very clear. He opened the business to make money and did not want to offend anyone, so he did not tell them who he would sell to and let them decide for themselves.

From his tone, Shen Qiyin knew that the other party was someone he could not afford to offend, so she had no intention of making things difficult for him. She just asked him to lead the way while she went to meet the so-called "noble person".

Going up to the second floor, Shen Qiyin saw the man sitting by the window at a glance.

Dressed in black, he looked cold and murderous.

Isn’t he a noble person?

Not only did the shopkeeper not dare to offend him, she couldn't afford to offend him either.

Xiao Yan turned around when he heard footsteps, and was not surprised at all when he saw Shen Qiyin. It was obvious that he knew the person downstairs was her.

He opened his thin lips slightly and uttered a single word sparingly: "Sit."

With his bony hands he picked up the purple clay teapot on the table, poured a cup of hot tea and placed it on the seat opposite him.

The shopkeeper retreated quietly.

Shen Qiyin walked over with an expressionless face.

She bowed to Xiao Yan and then sat down opposite him.

There was a long box next to the table. Shen Qiyin guessed that it should contain the purple jade flute that she wanted.

Noticing her gaze, Xiao Yan asked straight to the point: "Do you want this flute?"

"now that……"

He had barely uttered a word when a mask of pain appeared on his face.

I don’t know if it’s because I talked too much just now, but my throat hurts so much now and my voice is a little hoarse.

She wanted to drink some tea to moisten her throat before speaking, but suddenly a piece of paper and a pen appeared in front of her.

Xiao Yan withdrew his hand, and no expression could be seen on the half of his face that was not covered by the mask.

Shen Qiyin immediately picked up the pen, quickly wrote two words, and then held it up for him to see.

【Thank you】

Xiao Yan had a calm expression.

Shen Qiyin put down the paper and continued writing, then showed it to him.

[I want this jade flute, but if you want it too, I will give it to you.]

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said meaningfully: "You won't make money from me?"

Shen Qiyin was slightly stunned.

Then he quickly realized that this person had come to Qingyin Pavilion before him and must have already seen the scene downstairs.

I just don't know if he brought it up now because he wanted to control her or if he was just teasing her?

Although his mind was in turmoil, Shen Qiyin did not show any sign of it.

【No profit】

[I respect you, sir, and I would never cheat you.]

It was actually a disguised admission that she had just cheated Feng Ruoying and her sister.

Xiao Yan's eyes were sharp: "You are quite honest."

Shen Qiyin lowered his head and picked up the pen.

After a moment he looked up and held up the paper.

[I tell adults everything I know]

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

Shen Qiyin nodded vigorously, with a "loyal" expression on his face.

"Then let me ask you, was it you who set up the trap in Jing'an Temple that day to lead people to discover the secret meeting between Feng Heng and Shen Ruyin?"

Shen Qiyin's eyes suddenly froze, and he slightly exerted force on the hand that was pinching the edge of the paper.

Xiao Yan's eyes were as deep as the sea as he stared at her intently.
