The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Shen Qing stood to the side, looking completely bewildered.

"Aunt Liu, please stop crying and have something to eat first."

Zhou Chu looked at Afu as he spoke.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go buy some food."

Upon hearing this, Afu didn't hesitate and hurriedly ran towards the steamed bun shop.

After saying this, Zhou Chu gave Shen Qing a wink, and Shen Qing immediately understood.

"Yes, Auntie, please get up. I won't abandon you."

He reached out to help her up.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu immediately stopped crying.

"Qingqing, I knew you were a good girl and wouldn't abandon us, mother and son."

Soon, Afu bought the steamed buns.

"Let's go inside and get something to eat."

Zhou Chu said.

After bringing Aunt Liu to the inner room of the shop, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

She panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do.

It wasn't that I didn't want to help the mother and daughter, it's just that my mind was in turmoil at the time.

It wasn't until Zhou Chu arrived that Shen Qing regained her sense of direction.

While the mother and daughter were wolfing down their food, Zhou Chu called Shen Qing aside.

"What do you think? Do you not want to deal with it? If you don't want to deal with it, I have plenty of ways to make them never dare to come again."

Zhou Chu asked.

Shen Qing sighed upon hearing this.

“I don’t care whether Aunt Liu lives or dies, but Shen Ming is my brother after all. He is a member of the Shen family. I used to be angry with my father and them, but after my father died, my anger disappeared.”

"Actually, thinking about it, Aunt Liu didn't go too far. If she had insisted on marrying me off or taking away the money I had earned, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it."

That's just how people are; when they're together, they always find each other repulsive.

After three years apart, Shen Qing's resentment towards Aunt Liu had long since faded.

Seeing her like this now, and considering that Shen Ming is her younger brother, I can't help but feel sorry for her.

"It definitely should be addressed."

Zhou Chu nodded.

Hearing this, Shen Qing was somewhat surprised.

I thought you were going to talk about me.

"No, whether from a business perspective or from a personal standpoint, I think it's necessary to regulate it."

Zhou Chu smiled.

“If you don’t take care of them, it’s not a big deal, but your family’s affairs are well-known in the capital. If word gets out, it won’t sound good. Many people will say you’re heartless and cold-blooded, which will damage your reputation.”

Zhou Chu knew very well that in this era, reputation was more important than anything else for girls.

"On the contrary, if you set aside old grudges and help them, everyone will speak highly of you. This will be extremely good for your personal reputation, and it will also be of great benefit to Yun Gui Fang. In the future, no matter who it is, they will have to give you a thumbs up when they mention you or Yun Gui Fang."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing had no more doubts or anxieties.

Zhou Chu arrived in front of Aunt Liu and her son. By this time, the two had already finished eating, but they had eaten too fast and were choking a little, so they were desperately drinking water.

“Aunt Liu, I remember when the Shen family divided their assets, you received the most. How did you end up in this state?”

Zhou Chu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu became extremely angry.

"It's all that damned Hu Wei's fault, he swindled all my money."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu immediately had an idea.

It's time to find some work to do on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

According to Aunt Liu's description, Hu Wei came from a very ordinary background; his father was a wealthy landowner.

However, after his father died, the family business also declined in his hands.

This kid is idle and has gotten into gambling. His already small family fortune can't withstand such squandering.

However, this kid has a good appearance; he's slicked-back and has a powdered face.

Aunt Liu was originally sold to the Shen family as a concubine.

I can't go home anymore.

She bought a fairly large house by herself and her child.

They also bought several servants.

Life was going quite well.

Until he met Hu Wei.

Aunt Liu was quickly captivated by this young man.

She herself wasn't very capable, otherwise she wouldn't have been sold to the Shen family as a concubine.
