Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 129 The Substitute Actress Counterattacks White Moonlight 3

Shi Qing's mouth twitched. She didn't believe that it was the new emperor's decision. Perhaps it was Xuanyuan Heng looking for an excuse. But it was okay. It gave her a chance to show her strength.

"The Emperor has granted me the marriage, so naturally I dare not disobey his order. However, Madam, my father told you to keep the key to my mother's dowry. Since I am about to get married, I don't need you to keep it for me anymore."

Of course Zou was unwilling to do so. Shi Qing's biological mother had a generous dowry, and she did not want to see the dowry being taken back, so she subconsciously rejected Shi Qing's request.

"This matter is open to discussion!"

There was a coldness in Shi Qing's eyes. She took a step forward and walked to Zou's side. Her tone was light, but full of threat.

"Madam, why did a strange man appear in Fangting Garden last night? Others said he broke into our Shi family at night because of my eldest sister. Do you believe it, Madam?"

Zou was furious when she mentioned this. She had only gone back to her parents' home yesterday, and something big had happened in the mansion. Luo Yi was falsely accused of having an affair with that man...

When Zou came back, she learned about this matter and had dealt with the maids in the mansion decisively beforehand. Some were sold, and some were sent to the farm. In short, no evidence was left behind.

Last night, when she interrogated Shi Luoyi, she learned about her daughter's original plan. Although Zou thought that this matter was an exaggeration, it almost got Shi Luoyi involved, which was really stupid.

However, things had already happened, and Zou knew that it was useless to blame him, so she could only comfort Shi Luoyi and serve Shi Jianye gently and attentively, which allowed Shi Luoyi to be released from house arrest.

Zou didn't even want to pretend to be kind. When she heard Shi Qing say this, she threatened.

"This matter has passed. Mind your own business. If any word gets out, the Shi family will suffer, and you won't benefit from it."

Shi Qing sneered, completely unlike his usual fawning and humble demeanor.

"Last night, Big Sister's original plan was to let me elope with Liu Hong. She wanted to sell me out and get me away from the capital. Qingqing thought that Madam and Big Sister truly loved us, but I didn't expect that they actually had such thoughts..."

Zou's face changed drastically when she was hit by what she was thinking. She secretly thought to herself, could it be that Shi Qing has something on her? If so, things will be difficult.

"Are you crazy? Shi Qing, I am still the head of the Shi family. If you don't want your mother's grave to be dug up, you'd better be honest. If you have any thoughts that shouldn't be there, I will not forgive you."

Zou's usual gentle and kind demeanor faded away, and her sinister eyes looked as if they could turn into knives and strike Shi Qing.

Shi Qing's biological mother, Liu, was a grudge that Zou could not get over. Whenever she saw Shi Qing, she would think of the time when she was a concubine, like a rat in the gutter, never seeing the light of day.

Shi Qing didn't pay attention to her threat and just spoke in a stern tone.

"Madam, I have the letters that Big Sister secretly exchanged with Liu Hong. If you are unwilling to return my mother's dowry in full, don't blame Big Sister for ruining her reputation."

Zou's heart skipped a beat, until Shi Qing slowly took out a stack of letters and she took them.

When he saw the content above, his face changed slightly. It turned out to be evidence of the private transaction between Shi Luoyi and Liu Hong.

Originally, Liu Hong could have been killed secretly, but after he escaped, there was no chance to catch him again.

However, if the letter fell into the hands of others, her daughter would not be able to marry into a wealthy family, and even if it was just a family of integrity, no one would want a woman with a bad reputation.

Shi Qing hid such a vicious mind beneath his gentle appearance. Zou was angry and annoyed, but she had no way to deal with the matter.

She quickly tore up the letter in her hand and gritted her teeth as she gave orders to the nanny beside her.

"Take the letter back from the Second Miss!"

The nanny hurriedly snatched it away, but Shi Qing let her take it away. Looking at the smile on Zou's face, she raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

"It's alright, Madam, feel free to tear it up. Some of the letters have already been sent outside the mansion. If anything happens to me, the contents of the letters will spread everywhere. Madam, you can give it a try."

To hit the snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. Seeing that Zou was furious but did nothing, Shi Qing knew that he had won the bet.

Zou's eyebrows slightly raised, and when she calmed down, she thought that Shi Qing was just an orphan, and her younger brothers in the mansion had never been close to her.

Well, I just have to keep her stable for now, and she will have to bear the consequences in the future.

"I didn't expect you to have such a powerful ability. I underestimated you. It's just your mother's dowry. I'll just give it to you. Why bother your sister with this?"

After saying this, Zou ordered her personal maid, Nanny Zhang, to deliver the key to Liu's dowry.

Nanny Zhang snorted coldly, took out the key reluctantly, and handed it to Shi Qing with a sinister tone.

"Madam is just keeping the key for you. Why should Second Miss be so cautious?"

Shi Qing smiled calmly, but her tone was very contemptuous, "Qingqing has already passed the ceremony of coming of age. This is something my mother left me, and I should keep it personally."

She put the key away. She had the dowry list in her hand anyway. If Zou dared to embezzle the dowry, she would tear off her mask when she left home.

Zou was a little nervous. She pursed her lips and said coldly, "The dowry has been returned to you. What about the letters?"

Shi Qing said calmly, "Don't worry, Madam. I will send someone to destroy the letter. No one will know about your relationship with Liu Hong. But it's strange. I heard that Liu Hong ran away last night. I wonder if it was your relationship with me..."

Zou's face was irritated, and she said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Shi Qing sneered. He was not saying this to Zou, but to... Shi Jianye, the Minister of Rites who was eavesdropping just now.

"If Madam has nothing to do, I will withdraw first."

After saying this, she bowed and walked out of Chunting Garden.

Shi Jianye, who was hiding outside the door, changed his expression slightly when he heard these words.

He originally wanted to deal with Liu Hong, but he was let go. He questioned everyone in the mansion and found that no one knew where Liu Hong was.

I was originally upset, but after hearing what Shi Qing and Zou said, I suddenly thought...

Could it be that his good daughter is Liu Hong, whom Roy secretly let run away?

If that's the case, then you're as stupid as a pig!

Just as Shi Qing stood up to leave, he saw Shi Jianye walking into the courtyard angrily. Zou's face changed slightly. She didn't know how much of what she had just said to Shi Qing that Shi Jianye had heard.

She quickly and gently walked to Shi Jianye's side and spoke softly.

"Master, Qingqing has agreed to get married. I will prepare the wedding for her."

Shi Jianye's eyebrows turned slightly cold, and he said coldly, "Do you know who let Liu Hong go yesterday?"

Zou naturally didn't know, so she quickly denied it, "Master, I didn't know about this matter, but we can't let Liu Hong go. He dared to slander Luo'er's innocence."

Shi Jianye was confused. He certainly didn't believe what Zou said, so he became more and more suspicious. His eldest daughter, whom he had always loved, was becoming more and more restless.

"In that case, you should prepare for your wedding. If anything unexpected happens, I will never forgive you!"

"Yes, I understand. Qingqing is my sister's child. How could I treat her badly?"

Zou nodded hurriedly. She knew that Shi Jianye didn't like Shi Qing, so she didn't treat her too well. As long as she could save face, it was enough.

However, she naturally would not be too nice to Shi Qing, otherwise she would feel depressed and uneasy. When something happened to Roy, she could only coax Shi Jianye so as to maintain her position in his heart.

As for Shi Qing, let her be proud for a few days. When she marries into the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Heng will never let her off easily given his vengeful nature.

This is good, so I don't have to do it myself. Xuanyuan Heng, that evil spirit, will never be kind to Shi Qing, let alone treat him with respect. Compared to Shi Qing's life in Zhuangzi, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more miserable.

Zou stood up and helped Shi Jianye undress, and personally massaged his shoulders and back, acting in a very flattering manner, and did not act like the mistress of the house at all.

Shi Jianye enjoyed her humble attitude and flattery, and his original displeasure gradually disappeared.

*

The marriage between the Shi family and the Xuanyuan family was thus arranged. When the seventh princess Yongning learned about this, she was so angry that she made a big fuss in the palace and even wanted to marry Xuanyuan Heng as a concubine, but was blocked by the emperor.

The romantic stories in the capital are widely circulated, and the most popular one recently is the short play "The Story of Green Plum".

This play is about a boy's family suffering a disaster and his childhood sweetheart fiancée breaking off the engagement at a critical moment.

Three years later, his childhood sweetheart returns and forcibly marries his fiancée, torturing her beyond recognition! He then begins a relationship with a high-ranking official's daughter, only to see his treacherous fiancée tragically die in the snow.

The audience was filled with sighs. Some felt that it was a pity that they were separated due to old grudges, while others felt that the childhood sweethearts deserved it and that a treacherous person should never have a good ending.

However, a big part of the reason why this widely circulated short play attracted so many guests was that it was related to current events in the capital.

This is the story of Xuanyuan Heng, the governor of the imperial city, and Shi Qing, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Chunlin walked into the courtyard with a short opera in his hand, his pretty face looking a little puffed up.

Shi Qing was practicing sword in the courtyard. Seeing Chunlin coming over, she wiped the sweat from her face and asked.

"Chunlin, what's wrong with you?"

Chunlin handed the notebook he bought to Shi Qing, with deep worry in his eyes.

"Miss, I don't know who is spreading rumors about you and the Governor, saying that you are treacherous and have broken off the engagement, and that you have no loyalty or affection."

Shi Qing took the storybook and glanced at it casually. The story was well written and very similar to the original plot.

It looked more like Shi Luoyi's work, especially the details inside, as if Shi Luoyi had seen it with his own eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about what others think. I don't care what they think."

Chunlin sighed, "But Miss, when you broke off the engagement, it was clearly because Zou threatened to scatter Madam's ashes if you didn't agree. You were clearly forced to do so. This servant... This servant feels sorry for you."

Shi Qing felt a pain in his heart and his eyes turned slightly red. It was a subconscious emotion, a residual emotion from the original owner. For the original owner, this matter was a regret.

"The past cannot be retrieved, there's no need to look back. Chunlin, have you completed the task I assigned you?"

Chunlin thought of Shi Qing's instructions and nodded secretly. "I have already taken care of it. I have asked an experienced old hand to take care of the shop that came with the dowry. I have also deposited the money that Madam left behind in the bank. I am just waiting to see how the harvest turns out."

Shi Qing nodded slightly. Now that the money issue had been resolved, he still had a disappointing younger brother at home, and he had to give him a good lesson before leaving.

"Where is the young master now?"

Chunlin scratched his head, glanced at Shi Qing, and said helplessly.

"The young master just came back from Moonlit Tower... He's incredibly drunk, so he should be in the warm room to the west right now."

There was a murderous look in Shi Qing's eyes. This child was truly incorrigible. She would never show mercy to this little piece of trash.

Beat your brother as early as possible!

"Chunlin, wait in the yard, I'll be back soon."

Chunlin was a little curious, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Warm room."

Shi Qing left without looking back. Chunlin saw that she took away a long whip when she left. It was the whip that the young lady asked him to make at the blacksmith shop three days ago.

I didn't expect it to come in handy today. Chunlin thought that the young lady has been very hot-tempered recently, and it seems that the young master is in trouble today.

On the way to the warm room, Shi Qing awakened Tuanzi in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[I want to know what happened to Shi Luoyi in the original storyline after the original owner escaped from the mountains and returned to the capital and was later tortured and killed.]

Tuanzi casually flipped through the script and spoke slowly.

"Shi Luoyi eventually became the queen. After failing to seduce the male protagonist, she set her sights on the new emperor's eighth brother, Prince Qi.

Prince Qi took advantage of Shi Luoyi's favorable location and timing, and his knowledge of the secrets of the court officials to win over the hearts of the people.

Later, she secretly drugged the emperor and assassinated him, while at the same time pouring sewage on the male protagonist. Finally, she used the original owner's corpse as bait to lure him into the palace and get rid of the male protagonist!

Shi Qing was silent for a moment. Prince Qi and Shi Luoyi were a perfect match, both were ruthless men, but Prince Qi and Shi Luoyi were not up to par, so everything could still be saved.

"He's a ruthless person."

Seeing that Shi Qing didn't say anything, Tuanzi fell into a dormant state silently.

Shi Qing walked to the warm room, but before he could get close to me, my maid Yingying quickly blocked Shi Qing outside.

Yingying was born delicate and beautiful, but she looked at Shi Qing warily and spoke in a vigilant tone.

"Second Miss, this is the young master's residence. You shouldn't come here."

Yingying was a maid arranged by Zou to be by Shi Xiaoyun's side. Zou had someone redeem her from a brothel and arranged her to be by Shi Xiaoyun's side.

Yingying is gentle and considerate, and is the most favored by Shi Xiaoyun, so over time she regards herself as the master. In her opinion, she will also be the concubine of the young master in the future.

"who are you?"

Shi Qing did not give Yingying any face and spoke in a casual tone.

Yingying glared at Shi Qing, "Don't blame me, Second Miss. You just came back from the manor, so naturally you don't know that I'm the young master's confidant. The young master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the warm room without his permission."

A maidservant came over to persuade Yingying, "Sister Yingying, the second young lady is the young master's biological sister. She just came to take a look and will not break the rules."

Yingying glanced arrogantly at the maid who was trying to comfort her and said sarcastically, "Without rules, there will be no order. No wonder you are not favored by the young master."

Shi Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so she said coldly, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."

Yingying knew that the second young lady was just a figurehead in the mansion and was a softie who could be bullied by anyone. The young master was not close to her, so why should she give her face?

"Songzhi, drive her away. Our young master likes quietness and does not want to be disturbed!"
