The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 24 Good News

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to help me repay the debt. I won't cause any trouble to you. I will handle my own affairs. Please return the 3000 taels stored with you to me. This amount of money is enough to repay the debt."

Qin Ruizhi's voice was loud and clear, leaving no room for discussion.

Sun Xiumin was stunned, looking at Qin Ruizhi in front of her who was so unfamiliar, as if she was not the niece she had raised since birth.

If it was Ruizhi from before, he would never talk to her like this, and he would never ask for this money from her...

No, she is no longer the Ruizhi she used to be.

In the past, Ruizhi would never make a lifelong commitment with someone and escape back to Beijing privately.

From the moment Qin Ruizhi got involved with Su Pan, everything changed.

Sun Xiumin sighed deeply, "Ruizhi, I am doing this for your own good, because I am afraid that you will be deceived."

Qin Ruizhi also sighed deeply, "Aunt, I am doing this for my uncle's own good. I don't want to be a villain who breaks his word and discredits his uncle."

"This child really holds a grudge. She was not like this before."

Sun Xiumin shook her head and said nothing more. She led Qin Ruizhi back to the bedroom, took out a hairpin from her head, opened the jewelry cabinet, and took out a jewelry box.

She exchanged all 3000 taels into Guanglitong's store, and now she is lying quietly in the jewelry box.

If before, she still had some thoughts and wanted to keep some of the money and use it for management purposes when she got to Kyoto, now she doesn't dare to think about it at all.

"Ruizhi, all the 3000 taels of banknotes are here. Please order some."

Qin Ruizhi took the banknote and said, "No need to count, I still have trust in my aunt."

She took a look at the banknotes, which were all 1000 taels each. She took out five of them, and then left with the jewelry box in her arms.

Going to the front hall, she handed the 5000 tael banknote to Pei Xingheng, "Mr. Pei, this is 5000 tael. Please take a look at it."

Pei Xingheng checked the bill and found that it was indeed from Guanglitong Company. He also counted the amount and quickly accepted the bill. However, he was still not satisfied. He licked his smile and asked, "Miss Xie is so generous, but what about the interest rate?" Calculate?"

Qin Ruizhi glared fiercely, and her eyes began to turn evil, "Mr. Pei, just accept it when you see it, and don't push it too far. If you feel that giving you 5000 taels is not enough, then I will remind you when the loan agreement was made. Signed? How?"

Pei Xingheng naturally didn't dare. A forged loan deed couldn't withstand scrutiny at all. If he could get 5000 taels of silver by defrauding him, God would be displeased.

If the quarrel continues, it will be very detrimental to Pei Xingheng.

So, he happily accepted 5000 taels of silver, left Gaofu and went straight to Yanfu.

In addition to Gao Jinying, the person who received the order from the court this time, Yan Youli also received a letter of appointment, appointing him as the magistrate of Fengan County, Jeju, and took office immediately.

At this time, Yanfu was packing his luggage.

Mrs. Yan took some time out of her busy schedule to meet with Pei Xingheng, and listened to Pei Xingheng's report about going to Gaofu to collect debts, and then she happily accepted the 5000 tael of travel expenses sponsored by Pei Xingheng.

Pei Xingheng's attitude was so humble that his face almost touched the ground, "My father is planning to set up Guanglitong Company in Kyoto. I would like to give you a banquet and the young lady to say a few nice words in front of the Prime Minister. If it can be done, the Pei family will give you a big gift. Thank you." Thank you for your generous help, Mr. Yan.”

"Of course, don't worry, go back and wait for the good news." Mrs. Yan waved her hand for Pei Xingheng to leave. Looking at Pei Xingheng's leaving back, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The Yan family had been waiting for this document for half a month. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They had packed up all their belongings and were just waiting for the appointment letter to arrive. Then they spent another day finishing it. In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Yan The whole family rushed to wherever they wanted.

It took Gao Jinying five full days to hand over government affairs to the newly appointed county magistrate. On the morning of the sixth day after the transfer, Gao Jinying was ready to go to Kyoto to take up his post.

That day, Qin Ruizhi, who always got up very early, deliberately stayed awake. No matter how hard the Gao sisters knocked on the door, they did not open the door. They listened to their nagging goodbyes at the door and turned a deaf ear.

Sun Xiumin also came to say goodbye, but Qin Ruizhi still ignored him.

Later, Gao Jinying came.

He did not knock on the door, but stood at the door. Through the closed door, he warned: "Ruizhi, uncle and aunt are going to Kyoto to take up posts. From now on, this family will be handed over to you. You have to take good care of your mother. Xi Jing, don’t disturb her unless absolutely necessary."

"After I settle down in Kyoto, I will send you money on time every month. You don't have to worry about your livelihood. I will also write to you often..."

When it came to writing a letter, Qin Ruizhi jumped up from the bed, opened the door, and ignored her uncle's shocked eyes, "Uncle, I want to write a letter to my brother. Please help me bring it to him. Don't be in a hurry. If you're on your way, just wait for me."

I was ashamed of her in the first place, but now I am just helping to carry a letter. Even if I am in a hurry, this letter will have to wait.

Gao Jinying was waiting for Qin Ruizhi in the front hall.

Qin Ruizhi has an older brother. Her mother and her father broke up and divorced only in the fourth year of their marriage. His older brother is four years older than her.

When the original owner was five or six years old, her brother came to live in Puzhou for a year, trying to influence her mother and bring her mother back to Kyoto, but unfortunately it ended in failure.

He has never been to Puzhou since then, but the brother and sister often exchange letters.

The reason why "Qin Ruizhi" dared to follow Su Pan and elope back to Beijing was because she was sure that her brother would take her in and not leave her with nowhere to go.

Qin Ruizhi wrote a brief letter, omitting the cliches of brother and sister reminiscing about the past, and only asked one thing, which was about the progress of Pei Chengyu's preparations for Guanglitong Trading Company in Kyoto. She asked her brother to help investigate and reply as soon as possible.

The letter was handed into Gao Jinying's hand, asking him to hand it to his brother as soon as he returned to Beijing. Then he stood at the old door and watched Gao Jinying's family slowly drive towards Kyoto.

It wasn't until the Gao family's carriage turned the corner and entered the main road that it was no longer visible, that Qin Ruizhi returned to the house and closed the dull and thick door.

From now on, there will only be four people in this house.

Apart from Qin Ruizhi and Xiaonian, only Xikuoyuan's mother and her maid Qiu Gu, who had been with her for more than 30 years, were left.

Qin Ruizhi went to Xikuoyuan. This was the first time she went to see her mother since her soul returned here.

There is a Taoist gate in the west courtyard, which is closed.

Qin Ruizhi knocked lightly at first, but no one responded, and then knocked hard, making the door crack, but still no one responded.

Just when she was doubting whether someone really lived in the courtyard behind the gate, and was about to climb over the wall to find out, the locked and sturdy courtyard door actually opened.
