She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Qin Yu squatted down and reached out to help her up.

Lin Shishi stared at Qin Yu in front of her, stunned by her words.

"I call you Madam Liu because I am not familiar with you. I only know you because of Lord Liu, but I do not want your connection with me to be solely because of Liu Zheng."

"You...I..." Lin Shishi choked up and couldn't utter a single word.

Qin Yu, however, looked at her intently.

"These things may sound unexpected, but if you think about it, you can imagine them too. A man's ambition and desire for novelty will never stop. If you blindly try to please him and lose yourself in the end, you'll end up with nothing!"

Qin Yu wondered why she was so good at persuading people now; it was unlike her usual self.

She thought it was probably because Lin Shishi was still young and beautiful. Even if Lin Shishi had misunderstood her, she didn't want such a young woman to spend all her time watching the clouds and falling flowers, feeling melancholy.

Lin Shishi stared at the woman in front of her for a long time, her eyes blurry with tears.

After listening to her words, she was somewhat moved.

Qin Yu's face did not blush because of Liu Zheng's liking, nor did she feel smug or even happy.

Yet, when she was trying to persuade herself, she was so earnest and patient, even becoming gentle.

She looked at Qin Yu in front of her, as if she suddenly understood something.

"I think I know why he treats you differently!"

Qin Yu felt somewhat helpless when he saw that she was still struggling with this matter after he had talked for so long.

He chuckled and looked at her, finally saying, "I don't often offer advice or comfort to others; whether you listen or not is up to you!"

Qin Yu didn't intend to pay her any attention, and gestured to Qiangwei and Linghu Bai to turn around and leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Shishi knew that she had no reason to stop her.

"I'm sorry, Madam Qin!" He apologized again to her retreating figure.

Qin Yu stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, and then left her with a message: "Next time we meet, I think our connection may no longer be because of Liu Zheng."

Qin Yu's good mood was ruined, and he lost interest in shopping.

I bought some dry food and went to bed early.

The next day, the sun had just risen and the dew had not yet dried.

Qin Yu then took the two men and prepared to return home.

Originally, there was no need for them to see each other off, but Xu Shaoting and Yan Da still rushed to the city gate after hearing the news.

"Madam Qin, we've become friends through a misunderstanding. Don't worry about me when you come to Yuzhou!"

After Yan Da finished expressing her gratitude, she saw Liu Zheng, who had apparently heard the news from someone, also come to see her off.

Because of Lin Shishi, Qin Yu didn't have a good impression of Liu Zheng either.

He didn't intend to say much, but simply nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, this person insisted on speaking to Qin Yu.

"Madam Qin, may I speak to you in private?"

Yan Da and Xu Shaoting looked at Qin Yu, wondering what had happened between them.

Seeing that several people were watching, Qin Yu had no choice but to step aside.

"What does Lord Liu want to say? Why is he being so mysterious?"

Liu Zheng looked at Qin Yu's profile, a smile etched on his face.

"Qin Yu, I feel that you are very different this time we spent together. You give me a different feeling!"

The two had not interacted before, and had only met at a banquet held by the Wang family.

But when Qin Yu came to him last time and gave him a thorough analysis, he truly began to see this woman in a different light.

If the first time I was amazed by her beauty, the second time I witnessed her intelligence.

Qin Yu could roughly guess what he was going to say, and was just about to find an excuse to leave, but he didn't give him the chance.

"Qin Yu, I have different feelings for you. I know you've had a tough time. I'm wondering if you'd consider being with me?"

Liu Zheng is a straightforward person.

He expressed his thoughts and then observed Qin Yu's reaction.

"Lord Liu is too kind; I had no such intention!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring him.

Liu Zheng reached out and stopped her.

“Miss Qin Yu, I didn’t mean to look down on you. I really have different feelings for you.”

Liu Zheng also liked beautiful women, and naturally he liked intelligent and beautiful women even more.

Because he knew Qin Yu was so intelligent, and that she wouldn't dwell on his thoughts when he didn't like them.

He really liked this kind of woman.

"As long as you follow me, you don't need to worry about making money."

"I was planning to tell you next time we met, but I don't know when that will be, and I can't wait!"

Liu Zheng said this, waiting for Qin Yu's response.

He thought that by speaking so frankly, Qin Yu would definitely sense something different.

"Lord Liu, making money is actually very tiring. Who would want to work so hard on their own if they had someone to rely on? But what I want is superficial."

"If Lord Liu wants me, then I can only be the one in your harem for the rest of your life. Are you willing to dismiss all the women in your outer harem for me and only stay with me for the rest of your life?"

"By the way, it won't work if there are women present, and it won't work if there are men present either!"

Qin Yu was amused by this person. Her impression of him was still from when she was in Qingshui Town, when he was dressed as a man.

The way he looked at her back then wasn't exactly friendly.

Who knows if this man has such thoughts about women, or even about other men?

Qin Yu said this because he knew that this person wouldn't be willing to part with it.

Moreover, Qin Yu is now a widow with no support from her family.

She has nothing but her brain.

This man is looking for something new, but he's not stupid; he wouldn't abandon his wife for a woman who has nothing.

After all, Lin Shishi comes from a well-to-do family. Even if she doesn't become an official, her family is wealthy and has ways to make money.

The higher the official's rank, the more reluctant they are to part with it.

Moreover, in an era where men had multiple wives and concubines, it was simply unthinkable for a man to be willing to stay with just one woman.

She said that on purpose because she knew.

As expected, Liu Zheng stood there awkwardly and looked at Qin Yu after hearing this.

"How could I possibly stay by your side all the time! Madam Qin, you must be joking."

Qin Yu smiled and said, "I'm not joking. I appreciate Lord Liu's kindness, but I have no other intentions towards you. Please don't say such things again!"

After speaking, he frowned, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.

Once they were in the carriage, Linghu Bai drove it away.

He ignored the people behind him.

Xu Shaoting and Yan Da had no idea what had happened.

Seeing Qin Yu get into the carriage with a hint of anger, he then looked at Liu Zheng's expression.

Noticing that Liu Zheng's expression was not good either, they all fell silent for a moment.

Qin Yu was in a bad mood the whole way.

Meeting Lin Shishi last night and Liu Zheng today really made her unhappy.

"What did Lord Liu say to you? You seem to be in a bad mood!"

Rose also looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled expression.

I asked her somewhat cautiously.

Qin Yu was speechless, unsure how to begin.

"Could it be that what Madam Liu said is true, and that Lord Liu came here today to express his feelings for you?"
