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

Aside from the Jiang family members making a fool of themselves, the banquet was a complete success.

Mr. Chen was furious. After seeing the guests off, he returned to his own courtyard.

Chen Yiru bid farewell to her relatives and friends with grace and poise, forming a stark contrast with Jiang Shi standing beside her.

Chiang Kai-shek probably couldn't stand the stares from everyone, so she just smiled and left the pleasantries to Chen Yiru.

Qin Yao and Liu Qingping were the last to leave. Chen Yiru saw them off at the mansion, and the three of them held hands and talked intimately.

"I was so scared just now," Liu Qingping said, still feeling lingering fear.

“It’s all in the past!” Chen Yiru comforted her in return.

"I was still thinking about it! If all else fails, I'll ask the princess's mother to invite the officials over and clear your name! Luckily, it all turned out alright!"

Throughout this entire trip, Liu Qingping remained unaware of the true situation, making it the most nerve-wracking experience for her.

As a princess, her first thought was to seek outside help.

Chen Yiru was very touched. She had known Liu Qingping because of Qin Yao, and before today, she hadn't thought that she and Liu Qingping were particularly close.

But her willingness to help her and her belief in her is also a form of kindness.

"Thank you, Qingping!"

The three women always addressed each other as sisters, and Liu Qingping didn't like them calling her "Princess," as it felt too formal.

Liu Qingping was very generous in thanking Chen Yiru.

"We're sisters, it's only natural."

"Anyway, thank you both for today!" Chen Yiru grasped their hands tightly and expressed her sincere gratitude.

Especially Qin Yao, the two exchanged a glance, everything was understood without words.

After seeing Qin Yao and the other person off, Chen Yiru turned around and went back.

Today, she gave the Jiang family a chance, and she also gave Jiang Qianqian a chance.

They wanted to harm her, and she naturally wouldn't let them get away with it. However, as a woman herself, and also because it concerned the Chen family, she wanted to deal with it behind closed doors.

Whether it's Jiang or Jiang Qianqian, they need to be responsible for their own actions, but they cannot implicate the Chen family.

But there was nothing that could stop their immense malice towards her.

This out-of-control situation is their own fault!

Chen Yiru went directly to her father's study.

There should be a resolution to her mother's matter!

……

With Chen Yiru's matter resolved, Qin Yao was finally relieved.

After parting ways with Liu Qingping, he went to look at several more shops.

Kyoto is so big, to meet the requirements, we either need to expand the store area or open a branch.

Unfortunately, after looking at several, I didn't find any that I was satisfied with.

Qin Yao returned home.

As soon as I got back, I heard news from Jiangzhou.

Jiang Liu gave up searching for Lingna and prepared to return.

Qin Yao was wondering when she heard Qiu Liu say:

"Miss, Xiao Liu said that it was Young Master Jiang who sent Jiang Liu back, saying that he has no servants by his side."

Qin Yao nodded. That made sense. Jiang Su was used to Jiang Liu, and Jiang Liu was indeed quite capable, so naturally he wanted to recall Jiang Liu.

Qin Yao tossed the letter aside. So what if he came back? The hot pot restaurant was already open. What could he do now that he was back?

Moreover, Jiang Liu... without money or connections, is he still as useful as he was in his previous life?

"Tell Wang Sheng to hurry up!" Qin Yao instructed Qiu Liu.

Qiu Liu nodded, straightened herself, and went out.

When Qingzhi came in, she happened to see her leaving in a hurry, and there wasn't even time to exchange glances.

Qingzhi placed the white fungus soup on the table and turned around to call Qin Yao.

Qin Yao tidied her sideburns before sitting down.

"Miss, it's so late, where is Sister Qiu Liu going?"

Qin Yao picked up her spoon without looking up and said, "I'm going to deliver a letter."

"Oh~" Qingzhi said dejectedly.

Qin Yao then realized that something was wrong with her.

"what happened?"

After hesitating for a while, Qingzhi finally mustered up her courage and said, "Miss, I also want to share your burdens, just like Sister Qiuliu."

Qin Yao: "Didn't you try to share the burden with me?"

The light branch is not understood.

Qin Yao listed out the things she was asked to do.

He took care of Qin Yao's daily life, helped her manage the shop, and ran errands for her...

It could be said that in Qin Yao's case, Qiu Liu was in charge of external affairs, while she was in charge of internal affairs.

"So that's why! What you and Qiu Liu are doing is equally important. If you go and help Qiu Liu, what will happen to the family? Wouldn't that cause chaos? What will happen to your young lady?"

Qingzhi lowered her head and thought for a moment, and realized that it made sense. Miss was used to using her, and if someone else were to do it, even Sister Qiuliu, they might not be able to do it well.

"That's true. What I do, others may not be able to do well. Only if I serve you well, Miss, can you accomplish great things!"

Qingzhi suddenly felt very proud.

Once Qin Yao was calmed down, she continued eating the white fungus soup.

Qin Yao trusted Qiu Liu with her steady and reliable nature, and she was at ease leaving external affairs to her.

Qingzhi, on the other hand, is lively and carefree, yet very meticulous in her daily life, making her a perfect match for Qin Yao.

While things were peaceful on Qin Yao's side, the Chen family was in an uproar by evening.

First, Chen's father seized Jiang's power to manage the household because of her lack of virtue, and handed over the symbolic plaque of the mistress of the house to Aunt Shen.

No matter how much Jiang cried out that she was wronged, or how much Chen Minzhi pleaded on her behalf, it was to no avail.

Mr. Chen disliked Mrs. Jiang from the beginning, but he didn't do anything to her because of their years of friendship and because he had a son named Chen Minzhi!

Now that she dares to touch his daughter, how can he tolerate it any longer?

If it weren't for Sharon Chan, he would have divorced her.

Secondly, the Jiang family had originally been staying at the Chen family's house, but now Chen's father had actually asked them to leave. How could they possibly agree to that?

They berated Chen's father for being ungrateful over Jiang Qianqian's 1 yuan worth of jewelry.

They threatened that if they left today, they would expose Chen's father for mistreating Jiang, stripping Jiang of her power in managing the household, and supporting the concubines.

While still dealing with his wife, he drove away her family, preventing Chen's father from holding his official position.

Finally, under the pretext of comforting Chiang Kai-shek, they begged and pleaded to stay.

Mr. Chen did not forcibly expel them, but he ordered them to leave within three days.

Qu Jing was immediately "invited" out. Apart from Qu Jing, no one else had any objections.

Chen Yiru was not very satisfied with the result, but she had already succeeded in the first step, hadn't she?

If the Jiang family is to fall, we have to start with her younger brother.

After all, the Jiang family was only targeting her and hadn't done anything heinous, and she was unharmed.

She also suspected that her biological mother's accident might be related to the Jiang family, but after some investigation, she found nothing.

Therefore, Chen Yiru was not surprised by her father's decision.

After all these years, even a dog would develop feelings, let alone a legitimate son.

This legitimate son...

Chen Yiru looked at the night sky and smiled.

Jiang Qianqian, don't let me down!

In the backyard, Jiang Qianqian opened the door under the cover of darkness, and her maid stood in front of the door.

The maid looked left and right, took out a packet of medicine from her bosom, and quickly stuffed it into Jiang Qianqian's hand.

"Miss, the boss said this medicine can't be used too much; it can only be a little bit at a time..."

Jiang Qianqian gave her an impatient shove, "I know, you should leave now and don't let anyone find out."

After saying that, Jiang Qianqian immediately closed the door.

After she closed the door, the maid's panicked and anxious expression immediately changed.

She looked around, then swaggered away, showing no sign of fear whatsoever!
