How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Lin Qinshuang, enraged by Wang Ruofu, burst into tears, shouting that she would jump off the boat and wishing she were dead. Wang Ruofu, looking at Lin Qinshuang's feigned pitifulness, felt nothing but disgust and disdain. He continued his mocking tirade, and the two argued incessantly outside Sheng Hong's door, finally provoking Sheng Hong's displeasure. He frowned, opened the door, and came out.

Upon seeing Sheng Hong, Lin Qinshuang immediately knelt down and began to weep. She tearfully confessed that Wei Niangzi's death had nothing to do with her. Sheng Hong looked at the woman crying her eyes out and felt a pang of pity.

Seeing Sheng Hong's reluctant expression, Wang Ruofu sensed something was wrong and felt a surge of anger. Just as she was about to find fault with Sheng Hong to suppress her thoughts, Lin Qinshuang spoke up first, saying, "Those unruly servants in the manor see that I am of lowly status and do not regard me as a manager at all. They do not take my words to heart at all!" Lin Qinshuang cleverly shifted all the blame.

Wang Ruofu cursed angrily, but Lin Qinshuang claimed she was guilty, saying she had been too merciful and unable to command her servants at a crucial moment. This was what caused Wei Niangzi's death; her methods were truly brilliant. Wang Ruofu's short temper flared up, and after a string of curses, Sheng Hong's disgust was aroused, and his pity for Lin Qinshuang became even more apparent.

Seeing that she was about to win back Sheng Hong's heart, Lin Qinshuang suddenly changed her tune and kowtowed to Wang Ruofu, begging for her forgiveness. After Lin Qinshuang's performance, Wang Ruofu was furious but helpless. Finally, after Lin Qinshuang feigned fainting, watching Sheng Hong carry her away, Wang Ruofu stood there, gritting her teeth in anger, wishing she could immediately skin this vixen alive.

It must be said that Lin Qinshuang's performance reminded Sheng Hong of his past, of the difficult struggles he and his mother faced to survive within their family. Sheng Hong resolved never to let Lin Qinshuang and their children suffer such hardships again.

As dawn broke, Jin Shuai was fast asleep in bed. Suddenly, a knock on the door shattered the tranquility. Liu Ma's voice came from outside: "My lord, wake up! Someone from the palace has come. The Emperor is looking for you. Wake up, my lord."

Jin Shuai rubbed his eyes, stretched, and slowly sat up in bed, replying, "Yes, I'm up. Come in!"

After Jin Shuai finished washing up, he and Xiao Huang headed to the imperial city. Upon arriving at the palace gates, they alighted from their carriage and chatted as they walked. Jin Shuai asked, "Do you know why the Emperor wants to see me?"

The young eunuch answered honestly, "Your Excellency, I do not know."

Upon entering the Wende Hall, General Jin respectfully bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty."

Then, Jin Shuai glanced around at everyone in the hall, thinking to himself, "These people are probably all here about the commercial street, franchise stores, and workshop area. But I won't ask them why they've come to see me." After all, he and the emperor had a cooperative relationship, and they both understood each other implicitly.

Neither of them spoke, and time seemed to stand still. A minute passed before one of the ministers finally broke the silence, speaking righteously: "Your Majesty, I impeach Viscount Jin Shuai for his extravagant construction projects for the commercial street and industrial district, which have been a waste of resources and manpower. Furthermore, Viscount Jin Shuai did not submit a report to the Central Secretariat for discussion, and now rumors are spreading throughout the capital. Your Majesty, I implore you to rescind your decree."

"Viscount Zhiyong, please explain this to the officials!" Zhao Zhen said.

"Your Majesty, lest someone accuse me of disrespect again if I speak in a moment," Jin Shuai said.

"I forgive you, speak freely!" Zhao Zhen said.
