Chapter 162 Sister-in-law said: There is beauty in books
The little man is only an inch tall, but has all the facial features complete and looks lifelike. He climbs and jumps all the way as if he were assisted by a god.
They soon arrived at the Shen family's backyard, in the attic belonging to Qiu Ruoyao.
The little man came to the beam and saw Qiu Ruoyao staring at the mirror. He was about to jump down to talk to her when he suddenly saw an old maid sneaking in.
"Miss."
"Madame Wu, what can I do for you?"
"Miss, what are you waiting for? My cousin has already done the investigation. The reason the Qiu family was raided was because of that impostor."
Nanny Wu advised: "As long as we find a way to find his flaws and send him to the government, or simply..."
Having said this, she made a gesture of wiping her neck, with a fierce look in her eyes.
Qiu Ruoyao heard this and said anxiously:
"No, I only hate that impostor, but the Madam and the others are innocent and very kind to me. They finally escaped from the fire pit, and I can't push them back in."
When Nanny Wu saw this, she felt secretly resentful. She thought, "You are so weak and useless even though your family is broken up. Don't blame your wet nurse for letting you down."
She sighed in pretended helplessness and said:
"Miss, you must be careful in your actions. Just ask when you need money. Only by bribing all the maids and servants around you can we do things conveniently."
Qiu Ruoyao nodded in agreement. In fact, she had already sent her personal maid Caizhu to find out about Cao Rui's personality.
If Cao Rui was a gentleman like Master Zi, then she would never seduce him, so as not to bring shame upon herself.
After Nanny Wu left, the girl's boudoir became quiet again.
I hesitated for a moment and decided to follow Nanny Wu. After many twists and turns, I finally left the Shen Mansion and arrived at a courtyard house not far away.
The owner of this room was a pale and thin young man. When he saw Madam Wu coming in, he immediately asked:
"What did she say?"
"Master, she is useless and cannot be relied upon at all. Let's find another way."
"hateful!"
The cousin's face instantly turned extremely ugly, but he still took out five taels of silver and asked her to keep an eye on Qiu Ruoyao.
Nanny Wu thanked him profusely and left. In the early years when the Qiu family was still around, as a wet nurse of the young lady, she would never have cared about such a small amount of money.
Things are really miserable now, my family members!
And the cousin was not really a cousin, but a distant relative of the Qiu family, named Liu Quan.
Because his family fell into poverty, he ran to the Qiu family to beg for food. Relying on his thick skin and scheming, he became a small housekeeper in the outer mansion.
When the Qiu Mansion was searched, Liu Quan received the news in advance. He decisively stole the Qiu family's hidden silver and split the profits with others in a 30:70 ratio. Only then did he become the cousin's son today.
Unfortunately, the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, who had been coveted for a long time and was originally going to be taken into his room for enjoyment, was actually taken as a concubine by that bastard Shen Zhiqi.
Liu Quan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone if he could win.
He stayed in the room helplessly and furiously for a while, then he couldn't help but run to find his partner, an elder of the Shen family.
The two began to discuss how to seize Shen Zhiqi's property and wives and concubines.
After much discussion, there is no particularly good solution.
Finally, Liu Quan got angry and said:
"Why don't we just do it directly? This time, we should do it more cleanly. No matter whether Shen Zhiqi is real or fake, we must cut off his head. We must not make the same mistake again."
It turned out that they had deliberately instigated Shen Zhiqi to get into a conflict with others.
He originally wanted to poison Shen Zhiqi to death afterwards and frame him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiqi, who was so unlucky that he flirted with a traveling beauty, turned out to be a female swordsman like Gongsun Da Niang.
In the blink of an eye, his stomach was stabbed!
When the blood splattered, Shen Zhiqi's personal servants, hangers-on, and friends were all terrified and ran for their lives.
Liu Quan ran especially fast, and he only regretted that his parents had not given him two more legs.
After making sure it was safe, I thought it was a good idea. There was no need to do anything to avoid being discovered.
Just as Liu Quan and the elders of the Shen family were celebrating and preparing to divide up the Shen family's gold, silver, wealth, land and beauties, Shen Zhiqi came back.
The two were terrified, thinking that it was a ghost who had died unjustly and came back for revenge, so they ran away and hid for a long time. They only dared to come back after they were sure that Shen Zhiqi was actually alive.
Strange!
He was clearly stabbed in the stomach and blood was all over the floor, how could he still be alive?
According to Shen Zhiqi, when he was about to die, he was saved by a bald monk.
Liu Quan was skeptical until Shen Zhiqi's personality changed drastically, from a dandy boy who indulged in sensual pleasures and frequented brothels, to an outstanding heir with sophisticated means and ruthless heart.
He was convinced that Shen Zhiqi was a fake!
Thinking about how all the hard work and planning had been done, only to let an impostor take advantage of the situation, enjoy the resources of the Shen family, prosper, and even hook up with the all-powerful Master Zi of Jinling.
Liu Quan was so angry that his kidneys hurt. He thought more than once that if he had used the Shen family's resources and platform, he would definitely be so successful. The more he thought about it, the more he hated it. Now he could no longer endure it.
"This..." The elder of the Shen family hesitated after hearing this.
"Mr. Shen, the courtesan in the brothel is waiting for you. You should spend money to have fun while you can still have fun. Otherwise, when you are old, even if you have a fortune, it will be useless."
Liu Quan hit the nail on the head.
The elder of the Shen family thought it made sense and immediately said angrily:
"Recently, a Guanyin temple appeared outside Jinling City. It is very effective in praying for children. Try to spread this news in the Shen family."
"He has so many wives and concubines, but still has no children. He will definitely go and pray for a child. Then we can..."
Liu Quan asked excitedly: "Any explanation?"
The elder of the Shen family laughed in an unfathomable way:
"As long as he goes, he is destined to die in Guanyin Villa. Just wait to take the eldest daughter of the Qiu family home. A fresh little widow, I am excited just thinking about it!"
……
The villain saw the conspiracy of the two men and returned quietly, just as he had come quietly, without even disturbing the mice.
When it returned to the hands of Fairy Jinghuan, the fairy put her finger on the little man's forehead and instantly knew what had happened to him. Her face suddenly changed.
Guanyin Villa.
Pray for a child.
These two key words put together immediately reminded her of a lewd monk who practiced Joy Zen and who, in the name of Guanyin delivering children, had insulted countless women.
In her early years, she teamed up with the bald monk and the lame Taoist priest to chop him into a eunuch and hid somewhere unknown.
I didn't expect that he would come back again.
不过，这也是个机会。
If Cao Rui also went to Guanyin Villa and was not on guard, there was a high possibility that he would be killed in a surprise attack. At that time, there would be no one to control the Divine Power Chain, and he could take the opportunity to escape.
The problem is that Cao Rui will definitely take all the women with him. If they fall into the hands of that lewd monk, the consequences will be disastrous!
Should we give early warning?
Fairy Jinghuan quickly came up with an idea and sent out her villain again to act according to her wishes...
At the same time, in the Shen family's library, Cao Rui finished reading the strange novel and went to the bookshelf to look for it.
When he pulled out a book, he suddenly saw Qiu Ruoyao standing on the other side through the gap.
The moment their eyes met, Qiu Ruoyao was so frightened that she almost lost her composure and hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, he slipped, sprained his ankle, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Cao Rui hurried over and asked:
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"Uncle, my feet hurt."
Qiu Ruoyao frowned, tears welled up in her eyes, and her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.
