The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

After hearing Miss Zhao Er's answer, Qin Sheng didn't make another sound.

Turning around and walking towards the bookshelf, his eyes fell on the rows of neatly arranged books, most of which were books recording the history of various dynasties.

There is no shortage of local customs, geology and landforms.

There is a study room in such a flower room, which makes people feel strange.

Because the chrysanthemums in the greenhouse need to be cultivated in the greenhouse, the earth dragon charcoal fire in this room is uninterrupted, and the doors and windows are tightly closed.

The thick chrysanthemums in the house have a faint bitter fragrance, and there is no abnormality after staying for an hour.

But how can one bear it if one spends a whole day reading here?
And this study does not belong to Miss Zhao Er, who could it be?
The Zhao family stepped forward, besides the second Miss Zhao who was born as a descendant, there were also two young ladies who had never shown up.

Such a luxurious study room cannot be occupied by a concubine lady, and Second Miss Zhao just said her hobby of studying books, so this study room does not belong to Miss Zhao Second either.

Master Zhao?
This thought flashed through Qin Sheng's mind. He was working under Mr. Zhao, so he knew his boss's preferences.

Mr. Zhao dislikes flowers the most, perhaps because he lost a top card named "Peony" when he was young, Mr. Zhao doesn't like to stand among flowers for a long time.

Qin Sheng walked to the bookshelf, reached out and tapped lightly on the bookshelf.

Zhao Zhu, who was behind her, was flustered, she didn't dare to show it, so she had to go to her side and silently lowered her head.

Mrs. Zhao frowned tightly, clenched her palms hidden in her sleeves tightly, and bit her back molars tightly with her lips pursed.

The slight abnormality of Zhao's mother and daughter gave Xie a flash of inspiration.

Mrs. Xie walked towards Qin Sheng. When Qin Sheng heard footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Mrs. Zhang, so he relaxed his vigilance.

The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, signaling Qin Sheng to go and check on her own, without paying attention to herself. She only wanted to come closer to check because of the strangeness of Zhao's mother and daughter.

Zhang Dingzhi followed her mother to the bookshelf.

She leaned close to her mother's ear and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what did you find?"

Mrs. Xie shook her head lightly, "No, I just noticed that Zhao's mother looks different."

Zhang Dingzhi was about to look back when Mrs. Xie grabbed her daughter and gave her a wink, signaling her not to startle the snake.

But the people on the bookshelf looked back and forth carefully, but they didn't find any clues.

The three of them were a little frustrated, but they didn't want to give up.

Then I heard Mrs. Zhao come forward and say: "Lord Qin, Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, some refreshments have been prepared outside, how about going to have a rest first?"

Mrs. Zhao had a smile on her face, showing her kindness.

"No need." Qin Sheng looked at Mrs. Xie, seeing that she didn't intend to go to rest, so he declined Mrs. Zhao's kindness.

"Then Master Qin, do you want to go to the side to check?"

Mrs. Zhao did not leave, but suggested that Qin Sheng take someone to investigate nearby.

In this way, Qin Sheng didn't want to leave.

He waved his hands and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mrs. Zhao, I still need to search here. Please step back first, Mrs. Zhao."

Madam Zhao gave up and took a few steps back.

Seeing that Qin Sheng seemed to want to push the bookshelf away, it was hard to bring it up for a while.

Zhang Dingzhi put his right hand on his left wrist, and cut off the pearl bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips, and immediately the crystal white pearls scattered all over the ground.

Some rolled down to Mrs. Zhao's feet, some scattered at Qin Sheng's, Xie's and Zhang Dingzhi's feet, and some fell into the gap at the bottom of the bookshelf.

"Ah! This is the bracelet that the Empress gave me!"

Zhang Dingzhi exclaimed, and hurriedly squatted on the ground to pick up the scattered pearls.

Mrs. Xie called her maid to help pick up her daughter's scattered pearls.

Mrs. Zhao's eyelids twitched, she had to be careful.

Not long after, many pearls were placed on the handkerchief in Zhang Dingzhi's hand. Zhang Dingzhi counted them and exclaimed: "Three are missing! I think they just fell under the bookshelf."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Sheng wanted to call the guards in to help move the bookshelves.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't sit still for a while, and hurriedly stopped her: "Master Qin, this is not right!"

"Oh? Mrs. Zhao, I don't know what's wrong with this?" Qin Sheng looked at Mrs. Zhao carefully.

Mrs. Zhao was at a loss for words for a while, she didn't know how to reply, she faltered and said: "This, this greenhouse is all the treasures of my master's heart. If it is damaged, it will be...not right."

In this way, the previous conjecture in Qin Sheng's mind was confirmed.

Zhang Dingzhi snorted coldly, and said with a light smile, "Mrs. Zhao, don't you want to swallow the pearls that the empress bestowed on me? Mrs. Zhao is not afraid that the empress will blame me?"

Mrs. Xie looked at her daughter, there was no trace of blame in her eyes, and said angrily: "Zhi'er, don't be rude, what is your status now? If these words spread, wouldn't it be a joke that our house has no rules."

Mrs. Zhao was slightly taken aback when Xie mentioned Zhang Dingzhi's current status. Now this young lady of the Zhang family is the future concubine bestowed by the emperor, and she will enter the palace to become a queen in the future.

If you offend her today, you will inevitably find trouble in the future.

But if the secret behind the bookshelf is discovered, it will cost Zhao Fu's life.

She couldn't weigh it for a moment.

With a hard heart, he said: "Master Qin, can you let me send a servant girl from the mansion to deal with it?"

This was already the biggest concession, and Qin Sheng couldn't refuse it any longer, so he said, "Then it will cause trouble for Mrs. Zhao."

Mrs. Zhao ordered her mother to find some strong maidservants.

Not long after, the bookshelf was removed, and a layer of black lacquered wooden boards was laid on the wall behind the bookshelf.

Qin Sheng went up to have a look, Madam Zhao hurriedly explained: "The master said that he was afraid that the bookshelf is next to the wall, and the cold air on the other side would cause mold and insects in the books, so he specially made more books on the wall behind the bookshelf. A plank of wood was erected as a barrier."

This rhetoric actually makes sense.

Zhang Dingzhi went to the place where the bookshelves were placed, picked up the three pearls left on the ground, and put them away carefully.

Mrs. Zhao stared at Zhang Dingzhi closely, for fear that she would do anything else.

Zhang Dingzhi stood up slowly while supporting the wooden board on the wall, and when she stabilized her body, she clenched her hands tightly in a circle, smashed the wooden board several times, and said loudly: "I don't know why today, it's so unlucky. It's unlucky that the wrist bracelet broke for no reason!"

After she finished speaking, she slammed the black lacquered board a few more times.

As if venting dissatisfaction in the heart.

Song Jinyue in the secret room suddenly heard movement and sat up abruptly. She leaned sideways on the wooden board and listened carefully.

It was really Cousin Zhi's voice to hear it outside.

She hurriedly slapped the board, and shouted loudly to Cousin Zhi outside: "Cousin Zhi, Cousin Zhi, Cousin Zhi."

Zhang Dingzhi's palm was still attached to the wooden board, and the weak vibration aroused her vigilance.

She leaned closer, and when she heard the voice inside, her face was shocked.
