That day, it was already dusk.

Shu Qingwan put away her wooden sword and prepared to walk back to the place where she hid the sword with Ruan Lianyi before, and then returned to the manor after hiding the sword.

But when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the sound of ticking horseshoes in the distance. Although it was not very clear, when she listened carefully, it was quite similar to the sound of horseshoes.

Shu Qingwan hid back in the bushes and looked intently. After a while, he saw Pei Yanfeng, who had rescued her last time, galloping on a horse, followed by the two subordinates with swords from last time.

The speed of the horseshoe is not fast, but judging from the postures of the few people, they should be on their way.

Shu Qingwan hid the wooden sword, walked to the side of the road calmly, and reached out to stop Pei Yanfeng's horse.

From a distance, Pei Yanfeng saw a girl walking towards the road they had to pass. He looked familiar, but before he recognized her, he saw the girl walking straight to the middle of the road and stopping his horse.

When he got closer, he recognized the woman's face, and stopped with a smile, tightening the reins: "Girl, it's you, what a coincidence."

Shu Qingwan bowed his hands and gave the man courtesy: "It's not a coincidence, Mr. Pei, the little girl has been waiting here for a long time, and she is here to repay her life-saving grace."

"Oh?" Pei Yanfeng was a little surprised, and was aroused, "Although I said before that I don't need your repayment, but today you asked for repayment, I am a little curious, how do you want to repay?"

Shu Qingwan said indifferently: "Then please ask Mr. Pei to speak for a while."

It was getting dusk in the wilderness, and the Pei family's followers naturally didn't want Pei Yanfeng and Shu Qingwan to leave alone, but before they could say anything, Shu Qingwan took the initiative to explain: "If you don't go elsewhere, you can see it in front of you." The place."

Pei Yanfeng also stretched out his hand to press down, to reassure his subordinates to be calm, then he got off his horse and followed Shu Qingwan forward with great interest.

The two walked outside for a while, and they had already reached the distance where the subordinates of the Pei family could not hear the sound. Shu Qingwan knelt down and bowed politely to the man.

Pei Yanfeng saw that Shu Qingwan made a big salute, and hurriedly reached out to help him: "Miss, what do you mean?"

Shu Qingwan said calmly: "The little girl was in a hurry that day, and she hadn't seriously thanked Mr. Pei for saving her. Today, when she bows, it should be regarded as thanking Mr. Pei for his generosity and kindness."

After Shu Qingwan finished speaking, he stood up, cupped his hands again and said, "Now, I would like to introduce myself to you first."

"The little girl's surname is Shu, and her name is Qingwan. She has just passed the age of Jiji. She is the daughter of a concubine from the Shu family in the urban area, and the younger sister of Shu Qingyan, the young master of the Shu family."

When Pei Yanfeng heard that Shu Qingwan claimed to be the daughter of the Shu family in the urban area, he was taken aback for a while, then smiled kindly, and bowed his hands in return: "So it's the young lady of the Shu family, Pei is really disrespectful."

Shu Qingwan withdrew his posture and said politely: "Young Master Pei, you are being polite."

Pei Yanfeng also withdrew Shi Li's hand, smiled and said directly: "The horse that Miss Shu stopped today, is there anything I can help you with?"

Pei Yanfeng had already asked about Shu Qingwan's purpose, so Shu Qingwan naturally had nothing to tweak, and said frankly, "I want to make a deal with you, a mutually beneficial deal."

Pei Yanfeng smiled calmly, and the curiosity in his eyes deepened: "Oh? How should I say it?"

Shu Qingwan said bluntly: "I know that Second Young Master Pei lost his trust with Master Pei some time ago, and now he is fighting for the power with Third Young Master Pei who is a concubine. My daughter is not talented, but I hope to do my best to help you .”

There was an inconspicuous brightness in Pei Yanfeng's eyes, and his smile deepened: "I would like to hear more about how to help each other."

The two talked in detail for about half an hour in the woods, and after reaching a cooperation, they returned separately.

Less than half a month after Pei Yanfeng returned, Master Shu went out to inspect the shop once, and "coincidentally" came across a scene of a filial daughter selling herself to bury her father.

The woman was weak and weak, but pitiful, she said that her family was poor, her father had just passed away, and she had no money to bury his father, so she only needed five taels of silver to bury the old man for her, and she would go back to serve as a slave.

When Master Shu passed by, the woman rushed over, crying miserably.

Although Master Shu didn't buy the woman in the end and only gave some money, the image of filial piety had already been implanted in his mind, and he felt a little dull all the way back.

More than half a month passed like this, when Master Shu went to inspect the next store, he stopped at a tea stand to quench his thirst on the way, and ran into the plot of filial piety that Pei Yanfeng had arranged for him again.

As soon as Mr. Shu took the waiter and sat down, the old man who served the tea said "Ouch", indicating that he accidentally bent his waist and couldn't move.

Her daughter rushed up to support the old father at the right time, caring and caring, and then not only finished all the work quickly, made tea for Master Shu and Guy Shu, but also squeezed and hammered the old father for a long time leg.

The old father sighed with emotion to Master Shu, saying that he was lucky to have a daughter by his side, otherwise he would have no hope in his old age.

Master Shu who said these words also had mixed feelings in his heart, and he soon remembered the daughter who was raised in the manor and almost lost without seeing him.

Pei Yanfeng arranged a lot of these scenes secretly, and Master Shu was also reminded by Pei Yanfeng subtly, he was more and more concerned about Shu Qingwan's situation, and soon sent his subordinates to the manor to visit Shu Qingwan.

Shu Qingwan also expressed her understanding and miss for her family in a timely manner. After the subordinates returned, Shu Qingwan's sensible and obedient image was slightly established in Master Shu's heart.

When Master Shu was constantly brushing away the existence of his daughter's role, after another month, Shu Qingwan finally ushered in a turning point.

Pei Yanfeng bought a director of Shu's mansion who was secretly dissatisfied with Shu Qingyan, and used a little trick to make Shu Qingyan make a big and small somersault in front of Master Shu.

When Master Shu criticized Shu Qingyan with hatred, the people who Shu Qingwan was close to and those who were bought by Pei Yanfeng took the opportunity to sigh and hint in front of Master Shu, to the effect that the reason why Shu Qingyan did not do things rigorously was because There are no brothers and sisters in the family to help.

Such a mention, coupled with other events implanted in Master Shu's head before, made Master Shu think of Shu Qingwan who was still raised in the country again.

This time, no matter how Mrs. Shu hinted that Shu Qingwan was unlucky, Master Shu didn't waver anymore, and no matter what he said, he would take Shu Qingwan to the city and live by his side.

When Shu Qingwan came to the Shu Mansion in the urban area alone, she first stood still for a while. On the one hand, she investigated the internal interests of the Shu Mansion calmly. Head-on collision.

Master Shu is very satisfied with Shu Qingwan's obedience, and praises him for having a daughter who knows everything about everyone.

Mrs. Shu saw that Shu Qingwan's patience was amazing, and her fists were all returned by Xuxu, so as Shu Qingwan expected, she made another plan and told Master Shu that Shu Qingwan had passed the time, and she should do it for her. Choose a husband.

As long as Shu Qingwan married out of the Shu family, it would be a splash of water, weakening his qualifications to compete with Shu Qingyan for family property.

But this strategy fell into Shu Qingwan's hands.

When Master Shu was looking for Shu Qingwan to test whether he would like to find a husband-in-law, Shu Qingyan was hindered again because of Shu Qingwan and Pei Yanfeng's actions, and lost an important business.

Shu Qingwan took the opportunity to express his willingness to sacrifice his own happiness, focusing on the Shu family's business, and stayed behind to assist his father and brother.

Master Shu was moved by Shu Qingwan's "sincere" words, after much deliberation, he decided to follow his original intention and leave Shu Qingwan behind to help with the housework.

Mrs. Shu and Shu Qingyan would naturally not agree, but Master Shu has made up his mind, and they can only obey Master Shu's idea if they don't want to.

Seeing that Mr. Shu had brought Shu Qingwan to start learning about business, how could Mrs. Shu be willing to let Shu Qingwan go smoothly, so she decided to find another way to find an opportunity to beat Shu Qingwan, so that she would retreat in spite of difficulties.

One day, Mrs. Shu took advantage of Master Shu's absence for a few days, and prepared a grand banquet with Shu Qingyan for Shu Qingwan.

Mrs. Shu and Shu Qingyan first had lunch with Shu Qingwan in an amicable manner, and then pretended to care about Shu Qingwan's recent life, and then Mrs. Shu said: "Qingwan, I recently learned how to take care of the house with your father, but Are you still used to it?"

Shu Qingwan took a sip of tea and replied politely: "Thank you mother for your concern, I'm still getting used to it."

Mrs. Shu pretended to be generous: "That's good, Qingyan is going to the south of the city today, why don't you go and have a look together, you have studied for so long, you should also go out and practice, and let Qingyan teach you what you don't know."

Even though he knew that this was a trap dug by Mrs. Shu, but in front of so many servants, Shu Qingwan could only choose to jump.

What's more, even if she doesn't dance today, she, Mrs. Shu and Shu Qingyan have avoided the conflict for so long, and sooner or later they will find an opportunity to break out.

Because the hidden crisis is the deadliest, it is better to make it clear.

Besides, for her, the family property Mrs. Shu and Shu Qingyan cared about was never her goal, all she wanted was to borrow the power and financial resources of the Shu family.

Under Mrs. Shu's expectant eyes, Shu Qingwan pretended to accept the kindness and agreed ignorantly.

Arriving at the store in the south of the city in the afternoon, Shu Qingyan took Shu Qingwan to browse and introduce for a while, and the plot planned by Mrs. Shu and Shu Qingyan was arranged.

The manager of the shop said that the merchant who provided the pottery clay has recently produced a new kind of clay embryo, which may be able to make more exquisite pottery poems, and invited Shu Qingyan and Shu Qingwan to check it out together, and bring the latest pottery clay together return.

Shu Qingwan accompanied Shu Qingyan to look at the new soil embryo, and when he was about to pull the new clay back, Shu Qingyan pretended to take the steward to see a different variety, leaving Shu Qingwan to inspect the clay they were about to pull away.

Shu Qingwan had no chance to refuse at all, so Shu Qingyan dragged the steward away.

Shu Qingyan was in such a hurry to throw the pot away, of course Shu Qingwan knew that the tricks of this setup were in the clay, so he didn't cooperate with the inspection, and just wandered around to appreciate other things in the store.

In fact, Shu Qingyan did contact the merchant to plan to replace the good clay with an inferior one.

When the time comes to pull it back, if the supervisor fails the acceptance inspection, Shu Qingyan will deliberately draw the responsibility on Shu Qingwan, saying that she is not good at learning skills and did not seriously check the quality of the clay.

Although Shu Qingyan and the businessman will pretend to take responsibility when the time comes, this will give Master Shu the impression that Shu Qingwan is sloppy in doing things.

The merchant waited and waited, seeing that Shu Qingwan hadn't checked for a long time, the waiter had no choice but to follow the suggestion of the merchant's manager and replace the good clay first.

Of course Shu Qingwan was aware of this under-the-nose operation, but she was not familiar with the merchant, so she had no choice but to stay put.

While Shu Qingwan was patiently waiting for Shu Qingyan to come back to perform the next scene, he did not expect that Shu Qingyan would drag the steward and sneak away, leaving only a young man to go back and tell Shu Qingwan to check the clay thoroughly, and then take go back.

Shu Qingyan's irresponsible behavior directly put Shu Qingwan into a dilemma.

Now it has nothing to do with the quality of the clay, but the issue of whether the clay can be pulled back. If she brings the clay back at will, the quality of the clay is not up to standard, and she will be charged with sloppy work at that time.

If she doesn't pull, Mrs. Shu will deliberately doubt her ability to do things in front of Master Shu, and will also say that she deliberately disobeyed her brother.

Even if she said that it was because of the problem with the pottery clay that she didn't pull it, the merchant would not admit it, and she could only be stuck in this same situation by Mrs. Shu, losing Master Shu's trust and expectations.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Shu Qingwan had no choice but to find the manager of the merchant, and said directly: "I have checked the clay, and there is something wrong, please replace it with a good batch."

The steward looked at the clay that Shu Qingwan had never touched before, and said perfunctorily, "Miss Shu, you didn't check this clay at all, did you? What's more, the ones we provide are always the best. Don't worry about that."

The steward thought that Shu Qingwan would continue to argue with him about the pottery clay, but unexpectedly, Shu Qingwan suddenly stepped back, sprained his foot, and fell directly to the ground: "How do you push people? My brother told you earlier, How can you not let me take you away?"

As Shu Qingwan said, taking advantage of the steward's lack of reaction, he said to the boy: "Go back and tell your brother, the steward here said that this is the first time he has seen me, and he dare not let me take the things away."

As long as she puts the responsibility back on Shu Qingyan, Shu Qingyan will not just sit idly by.

And if something happened to her here, she could accuse Shu Qingyan of failing to take good care of her younger sister in front of Master Shu. As long as things got worse, she wasn't afraid that Shu Qingyan wouldn't come back.

Both the servant and the steward made Shu Qingwan suddenly stumble, and he was a little dazed. The steward subconsciously wanted to help Shu Qingwan, but Shu Qingwan hid for a while, and then continued to slander: "I am the young lady of the Shu family, you are still Want to detain me?"

The boy stood far away, and after hearing what Shu Qingwan said, he wanted to go up to see the situation, but before he came up, he heard Shu Qingwan anxiously urging him: "Why are you still standing there, go back and call me Brother."

The boy looked confused, and after hearing the urging, he hurriedly turned around to look for Shu Qingyan.

After the boy left, the steward finally realized the situation, and said coldly, "Miss Shu, which song are you singing?"

Shu Qingwan patted his hands, got up from the ground calmly, and nonsense said: "It's nothing, it's the first time I go out, it's dark, I'm a little scared, let my brother pick me up."

After Shu Qingwan finished speaking, looking at the steward's cold face, he added: "If I remember correctly, I should call you, brother-in-law, right?"

"You...!" The steward was a little surprised, but he still forced himself to calm down, and denied with a cold snort, "Miss Shu, I don't dare to climb high, I think you are talking nonsense, right?"

Shu Qingwan looked towards the door, and while waiting for Shu Qingyan, he said casually: "Just treat me as nonsense? But I advise you to change the clay now? Lest my brother, your distant wife and brother come back later, you Still have to change."

The old bottom was exposed, and the steward was angry but also helpless, so he had to ask the buddy to replace it with good clay.

Because what Shu Qingwan said was right, when Shu Qingyan came back, the clay would have to be replaced anyway, otherwise it would be Shu Qingyan who would be criticized when he went back.

Sure enough, as soon as the new clay was replaced, Shu Qingyan hurried in with the boy.

Seeing Shu Qingwan standing upright, he immediately realized that he had been tricked, so he said with a gloomy face, "What's going on?"

Shu Qingwan smiled faintly: "It's nothing, it's just that my eyesight is stupid, and I can't tell if Tao Tu is good or bad. I'm afraid I'll miss my elder brother's business, so I have to ask my elder brother to come and check it out."

The steward stepped forward, and after whispering a few words to Shu Qingyan, Shu Qingyan's complexion became even worse.

He walked up to Shu Qingwan's watch, and whispered: "It seems that I underestimated you, and you still have some low-level methods."

Shu Qingwan smiled politely, but the smile didn't even reach his eyes: "Where is the elder brother, it is the elder brother who accepts it."

Some time ago, Shu Qingwan turned a blind eye to Mrs. Shu and Shu Qingyan's provocations, making them mistakenly think that Shu Qingwan was short-sighted only in the countryside and had never seen the world.

If Shu Qingwan found something wrong with the pottery clay and couldn't pull back the real pottery clay, they would also take it for granted that Shu Qingwan would be wronged and run back to rescue the soldiers, crying like a little girl who had just grown up.

Looking at the calmness in Shu Qingwan's eyes, Shu Qingyan knew that both he and Mrs. Shu had made a mistake.
