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

Zhao Mama originally had a stern face, wanting to teach Qin Yao a lesson, but when she saw Qin Yao's slightly red eyes, she immediately gave in.

He tenderly hugged Qin Yao and comforted her.

"Miss, you've been wronged. These past few days, while I've been away, that family has become even more arrogant and overbearing!"

Granny Zhao's face was full of dissatisfaction with the Marquis's mansion. She hadn't said anything about the marriage since the master had personally arranged it.

However, after spending time with her, she realized that the Marquis's mansion was not a good place to go. But since her mistress had made up her mind, she could only do her best to pave the way for her.

She didn't mind spending a little money on small things; the Qin family didn't have much else, but they had plenty of money.

But it is absolutely unacceptable to humiliate the young lady like this.

Zhao Mama had already heard about what had happened in the past two days, which is why she looked unwell when she came in.

Although the young lady's red eyes moved her somewhat, she still had to say what needed to be said.

Granny Zhao pulled Qin Yao down to sit, and then spoke earnestly.

"Miss, you've handled the matter of Young Master Jiang trespassing into your boudoir very well. The people below should deal with him, but don't forget about Young Master Jiang, who was already quite rude!"

"And then there's today's matter. It's obvious that Young Master Jiang has an affair with Miss Xia. You can't be confused and just let it go like this."

Actually, Granny Zhao wanted to advise Qin Yao that Prince Jiang was not a good man, but she was afraid that Qin Yao would not listen, so she could only try to persuade her from the sidelines.

Qin Yao understood what the nanny meant.

In her past life, she was determined to marry him, but now...

Qin Yao grasped Zhao Mama's hand in return, "Mama, I've decided to call off this engagement, please help me!"

After listening for a long time, Granny Zhao didn't react for a while before patting Qin Yao's hand.

"Oh! That's wonderful! Miss! It's good that you've come to your senses. I was worried that you would keep getting stuck in a rut and fall headlong into a trap, and that my good daughter would end up in a den of wolves."

As Zhao Mama spoke, she became more and more agitated, tears welling up in her eyes, and her hand holding Qin Yao trembled slightly.

"Miss! Don't worry, this old woman will risk her life to break off this engagement."

The Qin family and the Marquis's mansion have no further connection, and they can no longer squander money under the Qin family's name.

We must not harm her precious little girl.

Qin Yao recounted the events of the day in detail and told Granny Zhao about her plans for the future.

Granny Zhao spat, her disgust for the Marquis's mansion growing even stronger.

She used to think that the Marquis's mansion just had a haughty and superior attitude, and looked down on them.

I never expected they would resort to such a vicious method in secret. If Miss hadn't been on guard today, wouldn't they have gotten what they wanted?

Not only would the young lady have to become a concubine, but she would also have to be a stepping stone for someone else, supporting the noble family and the woman who harmed her, and making her their mistress.

Fortunately, his mistress had planned ahead and exposed their conspiracy.

Fortunately, the two maids were capable and managed to salvage the situation, thus sowing the seeds for the eventual annulment of the engagement.

As for Qin Liu, Granny Zhao preferred to kill him; such a traitor was a waste of his life.

However, since the young lady intended to punish him, Granny Zhao did not object.

Having seen many people, she knew that for someone like him, taking everything away was indeed more cruel than simply killing him.

After they finished talking, Qiu Liu arrived with Master Lin.

"Miss!" Master Lin bowed before standing up.

"Qiu Liu, you should go back and rest first," Qin Yao said to Qiu Liu.

"Miss, I'm not tired!"

"Listen to me! You fell into the water today, go take a bath and rest, otherwise you'll get sick and I'll have to take care of someone else tomorrow."

Hearing Qin Yao say this, Qiu Liu then bowed and left.

She can swim and has some martial arts skills, so she doesn't feel comfortable leaving her mistress with someone else.

Of course, it was also Zhao Mama who trained her. Zhao Mama's son drowned, and afterwards Zhao Mama was very afraid of water and afraid that something would happen to the young lady, so she immediately made Qiu Liu learn to swim.

After Qiu Liu left, only Qin Yao, Granny Zhao, Qing Zhi, and Master Lin, who had just been invited, remained in the room.

"Uncle Lin, you're a veteran. I'd like to ask you, if you were to face Qin Liu, would you have a chance of winning?" Qin Yao asked honestly.

Master Lin used to run a martial arts school, but he couldn't keep it going because he offended someone. He had a past relationship with Master Qin, so he came to seek refuge here.

He was also the eldest of the Qin family's martial arts masters, and Qin Liu was his apprentice.

There's a reason why she dares to trust him so much. In her previous life, when Qin Yao married into the Marquis's mansion, the Qin family's martial arts instructors were disbanded.

Qin Yao funded the opening of a martial arts school for Lin Kun, entirely to support him in his old age, and he also stayed in Kyoto.

Later, for some unknown reason, he had a conflict with Qin Liu, who was now part of Jiang Liu. The two fought fiercely, and Lin Kun was seriously injured and had to recuperate for a long time.

After his injuries healed, he moved away. Before leaving, he reminded Qin Yao to be careful of Qin Liu.

However, Qin Liu was already under Jiang Su's control at that time, so she couldn't find anything and had to give up.

At this moment, Lin Kun pondered for a while, stroked his beard, and replied, "For now, it's a draw!"

Lin Kun admired Qin Liu, who was a martial arts genius and was progressing very quickly.

"If you team up with Master Qiu and Master Wan, wouldn't you be able to easily defeat him?" Qin Yao continued to ask.

"There's definitely no problem!"

"Alright! Uncle Lin, you know the rules my father set. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished according to the rules!"

"That's for sure! This... could it be Qin Liu?" Lin Kun asked hesitantly, then looked at Granny Zhao beside him.

He could hardly believe it; what had Qin Liu done wrong?

Seeing Zhao Mama nod, Lin Kun could only suppress his doubts.

"Uncle Lin, just wait. Please also tell Master Qiu not to go out in the next few days."

Lin Kun certainly had no objection. "Miss, please rest assured. If he really did something wrong, we masters will be the first to not let him off the hook!"

Qin Yao nodded; she believed it.

After Lin Kun left, Zhao Mama finally asked what was going on.

"Miss, how do you plan to make him reveal a weakness?"

After all, Qin Liu has always managed his image very well, so even if something happened today, everyone will believe his story.

Even if punishment is warranted, it cannot be done without any scruples.

We still need to let him slip up on his own before we can deal with him.

"Granny, have you forgotten the benefactor he truly cherishes? If he knew that his benefactor also remembers him... and that his benefactor happens to want him to do something... what would he do?"

Granny Zhao understood.

They will definitely spare no effort.
