The merchant's rebirth led to the complete downfall of the Marquis's mansion.

Xiao Liu is quite fast, but news from outside hasn't started spreading yet.

First came the news that Jiang Su was going to Kangshan Academy, and then came the news that Jiang Su was going out to ambush her.

Kangshan Academy was the place Qin Yao chose for him in his previous life. She used her connections, donated 10,000 taels of silver, and bought 3,000 books to get Jiang Su admitted.

I never imagined that Jiang Su would be able to go without her help!

Qingzhi was the first to disagree.

"Miss! Why would Minister Xia suddenly think of introducing him to someone? Even if he were a son-in-law, that good-for-nothing... he's way out of reach!"

“That’s right! Why would Minister Xia be willing to help him?” Qin Yao murmured.

If others don't know, how can she not know?

Regardless of whether Jiang Su is an incompetent or not, Xia Shilang wouldn't even think of helping Xia Qiutang with the things she did to get married.

So what exactly happened that she doesn't know about?

"Could it be that he has something on Minister Xia?" Qiu Liu guessed.

Qin Yao shook her head, "Even with Minister Xia's recommendation, Kangshan Academy won't accept an incompetent fool."

In her past life, she spent a fortune hiring a renowned scholar to give Jiang Su intensive tutoring; otherwise, even if she were rich, Kangshan Academy wouldn't have wanted him.

"Have Xiao Liu find out if anything has happened to Jiang Su recently, or if anyone has appeared around him!"

Qin Yao gave instructions to Qiu Liu.

Qiu Liu went down to deliver the message.

Qingzhi quickly changed the subject.

"Miss, let's try to hide somewhere. Sixth Brother says he's going to wait for you outside the manor!"

Qin Yao wasn't worried at all.

"What's there to be afraid of? If he likes to wait, let him wait."

It just so happens that he was out when the news about the Jiang family got out, giving everyone a chance to discuss it.

Qin Yao was still overseeing the progress of the hot pot restaurant and would probably return around nightfall.

What is she afraid of?

Qin Yao asked Qingzhi to get a table of food from next door, and she ate slowly.

The main reason is that no one has ever seen a hot pot before, otherwise she wouldn't have to work so hard.

To achieve the desired effect, she had to endure some hardship first. Lina's ideas were so advanced, and many things were unprecedented, so she had to be careful.

Qingzhi stood to the side setting out the dishes and chatted casually with Qin Yao.

"Miss, Jin You and her family have arrived in Jinling. The bodyguards who escorted them there have already returned."

"The news from the security escort agency is that Jin You has rented a shop there and plans to do business!"

Of course, I'm very grateful to their young lady.

They were sent away from Kyoto, given money to help her live, and her life was saved by the young lady.

The young lady was her second parent.

"What kind of shop does she want to open?" Qin Yao asked.

"Hmm...it must be something like an embroidery shop! I heard that Jinyou and her mother are both very good at embroidery."

Qingzhi guessed.

"When Qiu Liu returns later, have her talk to the merchants in Jinling and ask them to give them special treatment!"

"Yes, Miss!" Qingzhi's eyes lit up immediately.

She knew that the young lady was good to them all.

Look, even a maid who barely interacts with her is willing to help improve her life.

In Qingzhi's heart, the Qin family was a great philanthropist.

Qin Yao, however, felt that doing business was not easy, since her whole family depended on it for a living.

Jin You helped her, and she reciprocated.

After the meal, Qin Yao continued to supervise the carpenter's renovation of the house.

Meanwhile, Jiang Su had been waiting for a long time in front of the Qin family's gate.

He didn't come alone this time; Jiang Zu followed behind him.

Before long, Jiang Su noticed that there were more and more people around him.

They all stood about four meters away, pointing and whispering about the two of them.

At first they were whispering, but later they raised their voices.

The murmurs reached Jiang Su's ears clearly.

"Is this the former heir of the Marquis's mansion?"

"Yes, I think so too!"

What's he doing here?

"You didn't know? I saw it this morning."

"Ah! What is he going to do?"

"You don't know? The Jiang family..."

……

Everyone chimed in, recounting the entire story of the Jiang family.

The funeral was simple, the servants were dismissed, and expenses for food, clothing, and daily necessities were greatly reduced. No new clothes were made, and no furniture was purchased...

"You're not here to ask Miss Qin for money, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Su could no longer contain himself and roared.

"Shut up!!!"

Jiang Su, whose memory was always on a smooth journey, couldn't stand this insult. He immediately pointed at those who were talking nonsense, his eyes filled with malice.

"How dare you spread rumors..." Jiang Su suddenly stopped. He was no longer an official of the imperial court.

Moreover, he no longer held a noble title, and he was no different from these ordinary people!

Jiang Su closed his eyes briefly to suppress his anger before opening them again. He gave these people a deep look before turning and leaving.

"Humph!"

He will definitely take back everything that belongs to him as soon as possible and wash away these humiliations!

A burst of laughter erupted behind him, all mocking Jiang Su and guessing what he had left unsaid!

The heir apparent? The Marquis's mansion?

What a joke!

Jiang Su left without stopping or looking back.

"Young master, aren't we going to wait for Miss Qin?" Jiang Zu reminded him from behind.

The young master asked him to come so that he could help explain and put Miss Qin at ease.

Although he thought it was unlikely...

But why did the young master just leave like that?

Once on the carriage, Jiang Su looked at the Jiang soldiers who had chased after him and spoke angrily.

"You! Walk back!"

Jiang Zu, who was about to get into the carriage, immediately withdrew his foot and followed behind the carriage.

Since the young master woke up, his mood has become even more unpredictable!

He didn't know what he had done wrong, or what he had said wrong, and that he would be punished.

Even after arriving at the Jiang family's residence, Jiang Zu still couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Su missed the old Jiang Liu terribly, when Jiang Liu could understand him instantly with just a glance.

Unlike this Jiang soldier, who is utterly hopeless.

Jiang Su waited for a while, and then he saw Jiang Zu's figure.

Jiang Zu also quickly ran over.

Although my foot still hurts, the young master is waiting for me!

"Master, Master!"

Jiang Su didn't miss the surprise in his eyes, but he didn't respond.

“Jiang Liu…” Jiang Su thought for a moment, realizing he should still call him Qin Liu, and was about to change his address when he heard Jiang Zu say:

"Jiang Liu went to Jiangzhou, young master. You were the one who sent him, and he's been sending letters ever since!"

Jiang Su remained silent.

Why didn't Qin Yao enter the mansion, but his right-hand men did?

Could it have been sent by Qin Yao?

Jiang Su went to his study, took out all the letters, and began to read them one by one.

After reading it, Jiang Su slammed the letter on the table.

It turns out that Jiang Liu also has the same memories as him, so he went to Jiangzhou to bring back the hot pot that was so popular in his memory.

In his latest letter, Jiang Liu said he had received news of a master and was still searching for him.

"It's been so long! They're still searching! How long will it be before they find them?"

Jiang Zu stood to the side, not daring to answer.

Wasn't it the young master himself who agreed to let Jiang Liu continue the search?

"Send a message over and give him another month. If there's still no news, he can come back!"

Jiang Zu immediately agreed and turned to leave.

Jiang Liu took a large amount of money with him when he left. If he fails, wouldn't it all be wasted?

Besides, a month is more than enough time. If you still can't find it, then there's no point in looking anymore.

He was about to go to the academy. He had gotten used to using Jiang Liu's name, and he could focus his business efforts on Qin Yao.

No, so he had someone make the hot pot he grew himself.

In short, the river will flow back!

the next day.

Jiang Su is about to set off.

Xia Qiutang and Liu had everyone load the prepared items onto the cart.

After being warned by her son, Liu has become much more obedient and is now diligently arranging things for him.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood listlessly at the door, just showing her face to make a token appearance.

Only Xia Qiutang was there, holding hands with Jiang Su, tears streaming down her face.

Not to mention Liu Shi couldn't stand it, even Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look.

"Alright, wait until I get to high school! Then we can be together every day!" Jiang Su patted Xia Qiutang's hand to comfort her.

"Yes! Husband, you must work hard! Father has arranged everything at the academy. If you need anything, just give me a letter and I'll have someone send it to you."

It's no wonder that Xia Qiutang suddenly values ​​Jiang Su so much.

She had noticed his changes in the past few days, and in addition, her father had sent a letter to her, giving her advice and saying that Jiang Su was no ordinary person.

Xia Qiutang naturally believed in her father's opinion, which is why she was so affectionate.

Even if she needs subsidies, it's a way for her to plan for the long term.

Just as Jiang Su was about to get into the carriage, people gathered around and pointed at them.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Su frowned, quickly got into the car, and sped away before anyone could react.

The next second, the Jiang family was surrounded by the gazes of the people.

They have no inhibitions now, and their discussions are full of sarcasm.

Liu quickly ordered the door to be closed.

She knew that with the old lady gone, their end was near.

They just hoped that the emperor wouldn't drive them out.
