The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 40
"Qin Ruizhi, don't push yourself too far. If you want to be fair, then I will also calculate with you the losses caused by burning down my Pei family's shop and Guanglitong store. You are just relying on the power of the Gao family to act recklessly. But if it is my Pei family, If we get to the bottom of it, even if you are not sentenced to hanging for your crime of arson, you will inevitably be exiled or imprisoned."

Pei Xingheng has a bottom line in his heart, but this bottom line will not be broken easily unless it is a last resort.

The Pei family is a businessman, and making money is the first priority.A small loss cannot shake the foundation of the Pei family, but it can be handled with care.

But if someone dares to push the envelope, they can risk everything to give it a try.

But, it's not that time yet.

Qin Ruizhi also accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not deliberately embarrass Pei Xingheng, "Mr. Pei, why not prepare a carriage and lend me one or two of your guards to take me back to the capital. As long as you can take me back to the capital. , I will give you a generous gift."

"Huh? Miss, I can send you back to Beijing..." Pei Xingheng sneered, "There's no need for generous gifts. My Pei family can't afford it."

The so-called generous gift is the loan deed brought from Guanglitong Company. Since Pei Xingheng doesn't want it, then forget it.

Qin Ruizhi sneered, just don't want it.

Before being released from prison, Qin Ruizhi did not forget to remind Pei Xingheng, "Mr. Pei, don't forget to prepare the carriage for me. As for the guard, I heard that your Pei family has just hired a guard from the Yan family. It seems that his name is Tong Buyi. I want him."

Pei Xingheng's head hurt when he heard it, but he still wrote down Tong Buyi's name.

He remembered that the people Qin Ruizhi ordered to set fire to the Pei family's shop were once the guards of the Yan family, and they all participated in the ambush at Whirlpool Ridge. Now they are all being held in Puzhou Prison, just waiting for judgment.

Now, Qin Ruizhi suddenly mentioned that this person was once a guard of the Yan family, and he probably participated in the ambush at Whirlpool Ridge.

Anyway, that's all the favors can do, so it doesn't hurt to give her another one.

"Miss, you go back and recuperate first. I will send someone to escort you back to Beijing in two days."

After confirming the time to return to Kyoto, Qin Ruizhi returned to Gaofu.

Xiaonian was very happy to see Qin Ruizhi. He looked around Qin Ruizhi, fearing that she would be punished. When he found that she was unharmed, he almost cried with joy:

"Miss, it's great that you're okay. You don't know, I'm alone in the house and I'm scared. It'll be great if you come back."

"Isn't it okay for me? My uncle has been the county magistrate in Puzhou for 20 years. He still has reputation and reputation. They all took care of my uncle's face and didn't do anything to me."

As Qin Ruizhi spoke, she smelled a vague odor rushing into her nose. She thought that she had not showered or changed clothes for many days, so she was going to stink.

"Xiao Nian, prepare hot water. I want to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes, miss, I'm going now."

Xiaonian responded and ran away to the kitchen to boil water.

Qin Ruizhi went back to her room and took out the 5000 taels of silver notes from her arms, then took the remaining silver notes from before, and collected 1 taels.These 1 taels are enough for Gao Zhiying's master and servant to enjoy their old age in Puzhou.

There is no way to repay the kindness of giving birth. She has more important things to do, and she cannot be trapped in Puzhou forever.

I must go back to Kyoto.

After Qin Ruizhi took a shower, she changed into a light yellow shirt and went to Xikuoyuan.

The west courtyard was still locked. This time, Qin Ruizhi did not knock on the door, but jumped directly into the courtyard.

When she was just taking a shower, she asked Xiaonian if her mother in Xikuoyuan had asked Xiaonian about her whereabouts after she had been in prison for so long.

Xiaonian hesitated at first and was unwilling to tell the truth. Later, under Qin Ruizhi's coercion, she still told the truth. No one in Xikuoyuan asked about her whereabouts, neither her mother nor Aunt Qiu. .

Even during the few days when Xiaonian stayed at the mansion, no one from Xikuoyuan was seen.

So, what kind of cruel mother is she?

The layout of the west courtyard is different from that of the east courtyard. A bluestone path extends into three branches, together with three independent cabins.Qin Ruizhi walked to the first room and was about to push the door open when a figure suddenly appeared and stopped her, "Miss, this is not the place you should be."

Aunt Qiu's appearance was too sudden, as if she had floated over.

Qin Ruizhi was stunned for a moment, then she recognized Aunt Qiu and smiled slightly, "Aunt Qiu, I'm here to see my mother."

"Your mother doesn't want to see you."

Such a straightforward rejection without even a lame excuse.

Qin Ruizhi was puzzled, "Why don't you want to see me?"

Qiu Gu sighed: "It's okay not to mention the old grievances. My child, you have suffered a lot in the past few days. Go back and have a good rest."

Qin Ruizhi narrowed her eyes slightly, "You... know where I have been recently?"

Qiu Gu nodded, "Of course I know."

Qin Ruizhi asked again: "Then why don't you save me?"

Qiu Gu turned her head and avoided Qin Ruizhi's gaze, "Isn't the eldest lady safe now?"

What a good statement.

Qin Ruizhi felt that this trip was unnecessary, so she took out the banknote and handed it to Qiu Gu.

Qiu Gu didn't know why and was unwilling to accept it, so she forced it into her hands.

"Here are 1 taels. Guanglitong's business tickets are enough for you to live in Puzhou. I will return to Kyoto in two days. From now on, everyone should be careful."

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

For this mother whom she had not met a few times, the little bit of affection that came from the blood connection of the original owner finally disappeared.

"Miss..."

Qiu Gu looked at the banknote in her hand and was lost in thought, but she did not catch up after all.

She returned to the house, opened the bead curtain again, and entered the compartment of the wing.

The compartment is the Buddhist hall, which contains a statue of Bodhisattva. On the futon in front of the statue, there is a woman sitting cross-legged and meditating. Her long hair is tied on top of her head. She is wearing a green shirt. Her skin is porcelain white, her fingers are green, and her face is stern.

Although she is nearly forty years old, time has not left many traces on her face.

If Qin Ruizhi was still here, you would find that this woman looks very similar to her. This is Gao Zhiying who has been trapped in Xikuoyuan for 17 years.

Qiu Gu stood awkwardly behind Gao Zhiying, "Miss, she said she will leave to return to Kyoto the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" The voice was cold and lifeless, like fireworks in a Buddhist hall.

"Aren't you going to stop her? There's an undercurrent in Kyoto, and the people who want to kill her are still there, aren't you going to give her some advice?"

Qiu Gu looked at the banknote Qin Ruizhi left for her in her hand, and she was still thinking about settling their life. What a good child.

She handed the banknote to Gao Zhiying, "Miss, no matter what, the child was born in ten months of pregnancy. It was a piece of flesh that fell from the body. Whether you hate it or complain, it happened 20 years ago. Yes. Can you, don’t involve innocent children?”

Gao Zhiying closed her eyes and opened her lips lightly: "Isn't it that she wants to die?"

　It’s November, I hope this month goes smoothly and I can pass the PK all the way.
