Sun Xiumin was stunned as if struck by lightning, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

In the 18th year of Puzhou's reign, Gao Zhiying turned a blind eye to her two children. Sun Xiumin always believed that she was disgusted and deeply hated her two children.

Sometimes Sun Xiumin even wonders if without these children, Gao Zhiying would slowly forget the unbearable shame and live a more stable and ordinary life.

But how?
How could Gao Zhiying be angry with the couple?
"What do you mean..." Although Sun Xiumin tried her best to calm herself, her voice still sounded trembling: "If Ruizhi is gone, Fifth Sister will ask us and our husbands to pay with their lives, right?"

Han put his hand on her shoulder, "Ruizhi was not caused by you, why do you always take the responsibility on yourself?"

Sun Xiumin returned to her home in Linjiu Lane in despair, looking for someone to talk to her about her pain, but her husband was on duty at the county government and her two daughters got up early and went out to make friends. There was no one to talk to at the moment.

After deliberation for a long time, Sun Xiumin decided to write a letter to his sister in Jizhou. The letter mentioned Qin Ruizhi's return to Kyoto and also wrote about Lin Huwei's death.

Although it is not directly written that Qin Ruizhi killed Lin Huwei, anyone with a brain can understand what happened.

After writing the letter and putting it in an envelope, Sun Xiumin read it for a long time, struggled for a long time, and then stuffed the letter in the drawer, thinking about waiting for her husband to come back and asking for his opinion.

The scorching sun shines through the window and onto the screen in the study. Inside the screen sits an anxious Zheng Pin.

He was only wearing a thin shirt, with ice cubes placed around him, and servants fanning the breeze on both sides, but he still felt hot and felt as if he was scratching his liver and heart.

Zheng Pin was demoted from his official position, and it seemed that the money-making workshop had ceased, but Ban Wenguo was secretly sent to Beiting to inspect the use of military pay by the Chai Family Army for His Majesty.

In order to stir up trouble, Zheng Tongen asked Zheng Pin to stay at home and think about his mistakes, and he was not allowed to go out of the house. However, he secretly left the house, hung out with Su Pan, and listened to Yang Mengzhang's instigation, and went to the gate of Gaofu to collect debts.

Although the Gao family did not say anything after the incident, after all, Gao Chengying was the minister of Dali Temple, and Gao Jieying was a foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry. They built the imperial mausoleum on Kuishan Mountain. It was enough for these two brothers to just complain in front of His Majesty. Drink a pot frequently.

It happened that this silly boy agreed to Qin Ruizhi's request and exchanged his life-saving grace for 5000 taels to offset Qin Qingyue's gambling debt owed to Yang Mengzhang.

Others in the capital may not know it, but Zheng Tongen knows that the bloody feud between the Cui family of the Yang family and the Gao family is just a matter of relying on the protection of the imperial power, and the Gao family is unable to resist, so they do not take action.

Zheng Pin had already been dismissed from office. He had too much time to take care of himself and was meddling in other people's housework. He really thought his life was too good and wanted to reincarnate as soon as possible.

Zheng Tongen punished Zheng Pin and banned him from going out.

But Zheng Pin couldn't bear such a detention. He had already made trouble several times.

"Where's my dad? I'm going to find my dad and ask him to prepare 5000 taels for me to repay Miss Qin's life-saving grace. A drop of water's kindness should be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving kindness. How many times did Miss Qin If you can't even give up 5000 taels as a thank you for saving my life, then who am I, the Zheng family? Besides, I have already promised Miss Qin that I will give her 5000 taels. If you restrain me like this, he must think that I am saying something. But without faith, he thinks that our Zheng family are treacherous villains."

Zheng Pin kept shouting for a long time. The fan was still fanning and the gatekeeper was still guarding the door, but no one came to pass on the message.Zheng Pin couldn't bear to lose face. After all, he was a young master favored by many people in the house, but he didn't even have anyone to pass the message to.

He shouted again: "Okay, okay, you all turned a deaf ear, so I won't say anything anymore. Anyway, I know that Miss Qin has a bad temper. I have already agreed to him, and she has indeed been helpful to me, so I should." Give me a gift as a thank you. If she thinks that I am dishonest and treacherous, and she comes to make trouble, I will have no face to see her."

After saying these words, he stopped making trouble, sat back at the desk, picked up a book and flipped through it, but his mind could not calm down.

Suddenly, a servant came to report: "Young Master, there is a Miss Qin at the door. She named you and wanted to see you. She said... that you owed her money and she was here to collect the debt."

Zheng Pin suddenly started up and dropped the book in his hand, "Miss Qin is really here?"

A few days had passed since he accepted the appointment. Calculating the time, he must have exhausted his patience. Feeling that he was not true to his word, he came to the door.

"Quick, let me go take a look."

Zheng Pin rushed out without thinking. The guard guarding the door was about to stop him, but Zheng Pin said: "I won't leave the house. My father only asked you to stop me from leaving the house. I won't leave the house. Stop me." What to do?"

The guards thought so, so they stopped blocking her and followed Zheng Pin to protect her safety.

Qin Ruizhi was brought into the mansion and stood in the corridor. She was tall and tall, wearing a lavender gown that was extremely dazzling under the sunlight. She also carried two swords behind her, which added to her graceful appearance.

"Miss Qin..."

Zheng Pin greeted him.

Before he could get close to Qin Ruizhi, Qin Ruizhi raised his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist, pointing the blade at Zheng Pin. The guards following Zheng Pin, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, crossed over Zheng Pin and protected him behind them.

The confrontation between the two sides lasted only a moment. Qin Ruizhi dropped the sword back into the scabbard and laughed: "Zheng Pin, are you so brave? Are you really afraid that I will kill you?"

Zheng Pin pushed away the guards in front of him, turned around and scolded them to step back, and then smiled at Qin Ruizhi, "How can you? Miss Qin is smart. Even if she really wanted to harm me, she would not be stupid enough to go to the prime minister. The mansion holds the sword. Just kidding, the guards in the mansion take it too seriously."

Qin Ruizhi had no intention of joking with him, and directly stated the purpose of her visit: "Mr. Zheng, you should know my purpose of coming, right? The grace of saving a life does not have to be paid in money, and it is not impossible to build a friendship? But a gentleman is magnanimous, if you If you want to go back on your word, you can just say so."

"Of course not." Zheng Pin felt extremely aggrieved and quickly explained: "That idiot Yang Mengzhang went to Gaofu to make noise, completely disregarding the dignity of Gaofu, and even caused me to be fined and grounded by my father. I didn't want to default on the debt, I was out of trouble. If you don’t go to the house, you can’t fulfill your promise.”

What a crappy excuse this is, lame and stupid.

Even if he couldn't leave the mansion, he could always send his servants or followers to deliver the money to the mansion, just because he didn't want to give it.

Qin Ruizhi didn't want to point it out, "Since Mr. Zheng can't leave the house, no, I came here in person and asked Mr. Zheng to fulfill his promise and pay me 5000 taels. It's not me who is greedy for money, but it's my brother who... is not living up to expectations. I owed gambling debts and caused disgrace to my uncles, and the juniors came to collect debts, so I thought of paying off the gambling debts quickly to avoid trouble again."
