Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

"What's the matter with you? Isn't it just that I don't want to get married? Don't ask me, I will marry, okay!"

"Really?"

"Really." Xu Siyu hung her head and answered reluctantly.

"No, since you are so reluctant, I still have to talk to the Mountain God."

If even Xu Siyu can’t be persuaded, who else in the family can?

It just so happened that there was free labor at home, so Xu Huaichuan and Xu Chengyuan were responsible for accompanying the old lady upstairs. They would also visit Old Man Xu on the way and let the old man educate his unfilial children and grandchildren.

They set out at dawn the next day. On this day, Xu Wangshi went to ask the gods, while Xu Siyu asked herself.

She carefully examined the gifts Lin Yiqing had sent. There was a jade hairpin, a pair of gold bracelets with silk-wrapped gemstones, a peony painting, and a set of crescent-colored brocade skirts embroidered with lavender butterflies. They were indeed valuable items to give to a loved one.

Lin Yiqing is really good because he is handsome, rich and knowledgeable. Xu Siyu thought about it and found that she had a vague impression of him, but she seemed to have never thought about getting married!

If she has to get married, then Lin Yiqing is indeed a good choice, but she doesn't know what his family is like?

Will Mrs. Lin like her?

Xu Siyu is already working on herself, and Lin Yiqing has also found Qian Da.

They tied his hands and set fire to the Qian family's house, forcing him to watch the house burn to ashes. His old mother, wife and son were all tied up inside and were not released until the last moment.

Qian Da, who was frightened out of his wits, knelt down and pointed out the manager of the Qi family.

Overnight, the South House returned all the flowers and trees to the Qi family, but the North House did not. However, the head steward of the Lin family said that he would not recognize the Qi family's bill.

Not only did they not pay for it, but the Lin family did not welcome the Qi family members in all their businesses, even if they were just servants.

Compared with the loss of face at the Baihua Banquet, this punishment is an even more blatant slap in the face.

As soon as the Lin family expressed their attitude, the wealthy people in Changjia County quickly followed suit, and the Qi family flower shop began to have a hard time.

[Useless thing.] Qi Ruyan hid in the garden and cursed, her heart restless even as she pruned the branches.

The Qi family was in chaos. Master Qi hurried into his daughter's courtyard, wanting to discuss with her how to break the spell, but people from the outer courtyard kept coming to report the news. Not only those from Changjia County, but also those from Qing Mansion, and the Lin and Zhou families all stopped doing business with the Qi family flower shop.

The news was obvious, and soon other companies also started to cancel their orders.

"Has our family violated the heavenly law? You should think of a solution quickly." Master Qi forced Qi Ruyue to come up with a response plan.

I don’t want to calculate how much he loses every day. The concubines in the backyard who can’t buy bird’s nest for beauty come to him to cry and complain, and he is already overwhelmed.

"How about we just admit it and apologize?"

Qi Ruyan couldn't swallow this anger when she looked at her useless and always compromising father.

It would be better for her to hit her head against the wall and die than to ask her to bow her head.

Seeing that his daughter was stubborn and didn't say anything, Mr. Qi went to make arrangements on his own.

But before he was ready, someone from the yamen came to ask Mr. Qi to be lectured.

"The principal of Chongzheng Academy submitted a memorial to the magistrate, criticizing the Qi Family Flower Shop for engaging in illicit activities in Nanshan before the provincial examination, which affected the county students' performance. "Master Qi, Changjia County only produced three Juren this time. Magistrate He is very dissatisfied with this result."

The results of a county's imperial examinations are naturally also the political achievements of the officials.

Chongzheng Academy has students from all over the world, and the news published by the principal has spread beyond Heqing Prefecture.

It's over, it's really over.

The person was sent by County Magistrate He, which means that County Magistrate He will no longer protect the Qi family.

Wicked girl, it was all that wicked girl's idea.

Master Qi hurried into his daughter's yard again. He was no longer as generous and patient as before. Not only did he smash the vase, he also slapped Qi Ruyan twice and made her kneel outside the ancestral hall to pray for the ancestors' blessing so that the Qi family could overcome this difficult time.

Qi Ruyan was not stripped of her clothes, but she was almost humiliated.

She looked at the ancestral hall that she could not enter, and the withered camellia flowers on the ground. Before her father could come to question or insult her, she ran her head against the doorpost and died.

Her reputation is ruined, what blessing can her ancestors give her?

Death is the only way to give an explanation.

Xu Siyu only knew that the master of the Qi family came to her with one thousand and two taels of silver to apologize and plead for mercy. Before she could find out what kind of deep hatred she had with the Qi family and why the Qi family had repeatedly harmed her, someone from the Qi family came and shouted "Something happened...something happened..." and called the master away.

A thousand taels of silver was thrown into her hands, and she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.

By the time she found out that the Qi family was the culprit of the arson and Lin Yiqing stepped in to help her solve the problem, five or six days had passed.

Because of the scandal of hiring someone to set fire to the flower shop, Qijia Flower Shop went from being a first-class flower shop to a place where few people cared about it.

Xu Siyu knew that she owed a huge favor again, and she really wanted to repay him with her body. After responding to Lin Yiqing's feelings hesitantly, Xu Siyu followed his arrangement and went to the Lin residence to visit Lin Yiqing's parents.

On this day, she dressed up like a lady, with a row of plum blossoms on her head, and wore the crescent-colored brocade skirt embroidered with lavender butterflies given by Lin Yiqing, with a string of tourmaline beads hanging in front of her collar.

Bringing the maid Rui'er with him, he walked into the Lin residence through the main gate.

Xu Siyu knew that the South House was very big.

Because it takes a cup of tea to walk to Lin Guangyuan, the remote residence of the Second Young Master Lin.

After crossing the small bridge and flowing water, and going around several beautifully trimmed gardens, Xu Siyu, supported by Rui'er and slowing down her pace, walked for almost an incense stick of time before reaching the main courtyard where Lin Yiqing's parents were.

In the main hall of the main house, mist was rising from the golden Ruyi incense burner, and a faint fragrance filled the room.

Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin were sitting in the front, with Lin Yiqing sitting on one side.

The moment Xu Siyu stepped over the threshold, Lin Yiqing stood up from his seat to greet her.

Lin Yiqing introduced Xu Siyu to meet his parents.

Lin Yiqing gave Xu Siyu some introduction about his parents in advance.

Xu Siyu also took a quick look as she walked a few steps into the door.

The head of the family, Mr. Lin, has clear eyes and a dignified bearing. Although he is over forty years old, he still looks very proud and like a winner in life. However, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes reveal his experience.

Mrs. Lin, who was said to be in poor health, sat upright with a string of beads in her hand, looking kind and gentle, not like the sickness that Lin Yiqing said.

With just a word, Lin Yiqing was taken away by Master Lin to study chess, while Xu Siyu was handed over to Madam Zhou, leaving the female family members with more space to do as they pleased.

Mrs. Lin invited Xu Siyu to sit down and have tea. She did not talk to Xu Siyu, but just sat at the top, fiddling with her beads with one hand and watching Xu Siyu's every move.

He had a faint smile on his face the whole time, and it was hard to tell whether he was satisfied or not, but his overly direct scrutiny made Xu Siyu feel uncomfortable.

Xu Siyu was not good at breaking the deadlock, so she had to eat and drink obediently. She was really full and had to stop to rest.
