The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 50 The Split Tree

The couple thought about it, if they really got into trouble with the government, they might not be able to end up well with the power of the Gao family, so they might as well take 500 taels of silver.

There are still two younger brothers and a younger sister to support at home. It is worthwhile to get such a large amount of money to send two younger brothers to study and find a good family for the younger sister.

As for Xiaonian... The Gao family is benevolent and righteous, but who made her suffer a bad fate?

"So you are the young master of the Gao family, but do you keep your word?" Xiaonian's father asked.

"Of course it counts. Since you agree, just wait here and I will get the money. After collecting the money, sign the deed and put down the deposit, this matter will have nothing to do with the Gao family from now on. Take Xiaonian back and bury him properly. Don't mention Xiaonian's affairs again. You will be so rotten in your stomachs about Xiaonian's affairs that you are not allowed to say a word. If anything is spread that is detrimental to the Gao family, not to mention that the money will not be spent, or even your life will be lost. I can definitely keep it.”

Soon, Qin Qingyue went to the study to write the sealing deed, but he had no money, at least as he was running away due to debt, it seemed that he had no money, so he went to Qin Ruizhi, thought for a moment and said:

"After all, what happened to Xiaonian happened in the mansion, and she was just a maid hired by the mansion. She didn't sign a deed of betrayal. Due to circumstances and reasons, her parents had to be compensated. I took it upon myself to negotiate with them for 500 yuan. Two, I don’t know if it’s appropriate or not? Also, I wrote the deed, you can take a look at it too.”

Qin Qingyue handed the written deed to Qin Ruizhi, but Qin Ruizhi did not take it, "Since you have decided, then do as you say. There is some money in the house, I will get it for you."

"it is good."

Qin Qingyue responded and stood under the veranda waiting for Qin Ruizhi. Bored, he looked around. His eyes glanced at one place and then moved away naturally. Suddenly he frowned and had a bad premonition. He turned his eyes back and fell on Under a low tree in the yard.

The package containing Tongliting's confession had been moved. Even though it was far away, the cowhide that originally wrapped the scroll was still exposed.

It wasn't like this when Qin Ruizhi put it back.

Could it be that Qin Ruizhi touched the package again when he went out to have breakfast?
No, if his sister wants to touch this package, she can handle it openly and there is no need to put it back.

Neither is Aunt Qiu.

The only possibility was Zheng Pin, who was lying in the side hall.

But it looks like Zheng Pin is still unconscious... maybe he's not just unconscious, but just pretending to be unconscious?
Qin Qingyue suddenly felt nervous for himself. Fortunately, he did not choose to take action in Gaofu. Otherwise, the mantis would catch the cicada and the oriole behind, but Zheng Pin, who only had half his life left, would catch him.

just sister...

I don’t know if Zheng Pin saw it when Qin Ruizhi opened the package.

How would he react if he saw it?
At this moment, the early sun had just risen, but the slight heat had already made Qin Qingyue's palms sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable.

He is waiting for Qin Ruizhi.

Qin Ruizhi went back to the house to get the money box, took out 500 taels of silver, returned to the verandah and handed it to Qin Qingyue.
"You go ahead and do it. I really can't bear this scene. Xiaonian is still in my room. When they receive the money and sign the contract, let them take Xiaonian back and bury him well. I hope he will have a good life in the next life. I want to be a well-dressed young lady." Qin Qingyue nodded, collected the heavy amount of money, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he swept across the yard seemingly unintentionally and sighed deeply:
"Hey, my uncle is incorruptible. Who would have thought that Xiaonian was the only maid in the house. Now that she is gone, there is no sweeper in the house. Look at this yard, the mud on the verandah. No one sprinkled water on the footprints and cleaned them up. It’s time to prune the few dwarf trees as well, the branches are all split.”

After complaining, Qin Qingyue took the money and left.

Qin Ruizhi was left alone, looking at the mud on the verandah and curling her lips, it didn't look good.

But now there is no one available in the house, not even the yard sweeper, who cares about the split tree...

Wait, under that bush...

Qin Ruizhi's eyes narrowed, sending out a hint of danger. She turned to look at the side hall, then stepped in and looked at Zheng Pin lying on the wooden board.

Zheng Pin still showed no sign of waking up.

Qin Ruizhi walked up to him, touched his arm, and then moved her hand all the way up to his heart, where the wound was bandaged. There was still a trace of blood on the exposed gauze.

The strength in his hand increased, and just as he was about to press it down, Qin Ruizhi suddenly changed his mind, covered him with a quilt, then went to the utility room to get a bucket, filled half a bucket of water, and began to clean the dirty footprints on the verandah.

After Qin Qingyue gave the money and asked Xiaonian's parents to sign the deed, he returned to the verandah. When he saw his sister squatting on the ground cleaning the floor, he became angry and hurried to the side hall and kicked the wooden board. The bed board collapsed in the simple bed, and Zheng Pin rolled from the board to the ground, groaning: "Ouch..."

"Ouch... Mr. Zheng, are you awake?" Qin Qingyue leaned over and looked at Zheng Pin who opened his eyes, "Just wake up. Go help my sister wipe the floor when you wake up. She is a beautiful girl, pampered and pampered. , I’ve never done any menial work. You go and help me with some work, but you can’t just stay at my uncle’s house and eat and drink for free.”

Zheng Pin opened his eyes, and it was Qin Qingyue who broke into his sight. He almost felt dazzled. It was only when Qin Qingyue's commanding orders reached his ears that he was sure that the person in front of him was really Qin Qingyue.

He covered his chest and sat up. The gauze on his chest seeped out some blood again, and his body was still very weak. "Qin Qingyue, is it really you? I thought I had a nightmare, and I ended up with you, a gambler." In the same room.”

Qin Qingyue sat down opposite Zheng Pin, pointed to the red gauze on his chest, and poked it with his finger.

Zheng Pin was weak and couldn't escape at all. He was sweating profusely in pain, and his eyes looking at Qin Qingyue were a bit cruel.

Qin Qingyue looked at the red color on his fingertips and said, "Zheng Pin, are you injured? I thought you were faking it. The son of your dignified Prime Minister Zheng was so injured. Those who didn't know thought that your Zheng family was overturned and your old man was killed." Did dad’s political enemies take revenge?”

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense." Zheng Pin protected his chest, moved a few steps back, and distanced himself from Qin Qingyue. With vigilance in his eyes, he asked tentatively: "Why did you show up in Puzhou?"

"Huh? How rare. I can come to my uncle's house whenever I want, and I don't have to report to you."

Qin Qingyue glanced at Zheng Pin, "But seeing how pitiful you are, it doesn't matter if I tell you. I was gambling with that little beast of the Yang family. He gave me a thousand dollars and caused me to lose 5000 taels of silver. I didn't have any money to pay back, so I came here." It’s time to hide and relax at my uncle’s house.”
