Among the visitors, there was a person whom everyone was familiar with.
The wet nurse of the eldest lady's ex-fiancé Zhou Xu.
However, today's wet nurse looks a little haggard. She is wearing plain clothes and has a bald head with no hairpin. And she looked at the carriage frequently, and it was obvious that there was a master in the carriage.
Mrs. Wang didn't know why the Zhou family came to her door again this week. The wet nurse spoke vaguely, and the mistress in the carriage didn't come out and kept sitting in the carriage.
Mrs. Wang was wondering what attitude to use towards the Zhou family when Qin Xiangxiang finally came back.
Wet nurse Zhou Xu was very excited: "Ms. Qin."
Qin Xiangxiang took a step back warily: "What do you want to do? Wasn't it clear enough last time? I will not go to keep watch for Zhou Xu."
Mrs. Wang was surprised. It turned out that Zhou Xu was gone?
Didn't some master say that although Zhou Xu was physically weak, his life span was not short? Why did he break off the engagement with the eldest lady and die?
Wet nurse Zhou Xu glanced at the carriage hesitantly and said in a low voice: "Madam Qin, we were wrong last time. This time our wife came to apologize to Madam in person."
Zhou Xu's mother came in person? But so what, she couldn't even believe Zhou Linguang's words, let alone Zhou Xu's mother.
"No need. Since the Zhou family has divorced the Qin family, the Zhou and Qin families no longer have anything to do with each other. It's better to invite Mrs. Zhou back."
A hoarse voice sounded urgently: "Think about it, it's all our Zhou family's fault. You blame us for breaking off the engagement when the Qin family was in trouble. I can understand that."
Very few people would call ladies by their given names outside. Mrs. Zhou was also anxious this week and called Qin Xiangxiang by her maiden name in order to get closer.
A face emerged from the carriage, and at first glance, it seemed that an old man had appeared out of nowhere.
Qin Xiangxiang calmed down and realized that Zhou Xu's mother was very similar to him. Zhou Xu had been ill for a long time, and his mother's face seemed to have a sick air, like an old man at sunset.
Mrs. Zhou was still holding a handkerchief in her hand and pressed her eyelids as she spoke: "It's not that our Zhou family wants to embarrass you, but the Master said that if Xu'er is to be buried safely, the eldest lady must come to the Zhou family to keep vigil for three days. Otherwise, his soul will be restless and he will not be able to reincarnate... wu wu, my poor Xu'er..."
She really loved her Yao'er, and her veil was soaked with tears as she spoke.
Qin Xiangxiang remained unmoved: "I won't go. My foot shop has just opened, and there are so many people at home to support. If I go there for a day, I will lose a day's income."
Mrs. Zhou choked with sobs and said anxiously: "This is easy to handle, Mother Guo."
Zhou Xu's wet nurse responded and took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve pocket: "Madam, here are five hundred coins. I will give you another five hundred coins when the matter is completed."
If you only stay for three days to keep vigil, you will get a thousand guans. This is pie in the sky.
Even Mrs. Wang was moved.
She knows best how much money the eldest lady has in her pocket. If there are a few more people who are forced to buy Laoshizi, the eldest lady will really have no money. How much money can you make just by selling things worth eight or ten cents? I'm afraid I won't be able to earn it in my lifetime.
One thousand strings is indeed very exciting.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at the banknote in Guo's mother's hand, the expression on her face did not change.
"The eldest lady has already broken off her engagement with the Zhou family. Is there any reason to keep watch over Zhou Lang? Our eldest lady still wants to get married." Hongxiu stood up and protected Qin Xiangxiang.
Mother Guo looked at Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly: "Only we know about the wake. If our Zhou family spreads this matter, there will be thunder and lightning."
As he spoke, he waved to Qin Xiangxiang: "Think about it, come here, I have something else to say to you."
She couldn't take herself captive in broad daylight.
Qin Xiangxiang walked to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou covered her face with a handkerchief and whispered to Qin Xiangxiang: "Second Lady Qin is in Dali Temple now. Although our Zhou family can't do anything about your father-in-law, we can still allow you to see your sister-in-law."
A trace of surprise finally flashed across Qin Xiangxiang's calm face.
Mrs. Zhou also had a determined smile on her face: "I swear on Xu'er that I will never deceive you about this matter."
"Okay. I promise you. But I can't leave now. I have to arrange things in the foot shop." Qin Xiangxiang said.
Mrs. Zhou observed Qin Xiangxiang and saw that her mood was very stable and unpredictable. But since Qin Xiangxiang agreed, things went smoothly. She breathed a sigh of relief: "You go ahead and get busy, I'll wait for you here." She was still afraid that Qin Xiangxiang would regret it.
Qin Xiangxiang ignored her and went in alone to explain to Hong Xiu and others how to prepare dinner.
Hong Xiu had a worried look on her face: "Madam, the Zhou family is like a dragon's nest and a tiger's den. You can't get there..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qin Xiangxiang gave Hong Xiu a reassuring smile.
Mrs. Wang didn't know why Qin Xiangxiang agreed to go, but she was very happy when she thought that as long as the eldest lady went to watch the funeral, a thousand strings would be at her fingertips.
Hong Xiu volunteered: "Madam, I will accompany you."
Qin Xiangxiang smiled and shook his head: "No, you just help me take care of things in the store."
She didn't even pack anything and walked out empty-handed.
"Go to Dali Temple to meet my sister first," she said.
"Okay." Mrs. Zhou agreed and asked Qin Xiangxiang to get in the car.
Hongxiu looked at Qin Xiangxiang with a worried look on his face, and watched Qin Xiangxiang enter the Zhou family's carriage.
The Zhou family's carriage was filled with incense. Qin Xiangxiang got into the carriage and sat on Mrs. Zhou's left side in a dignified manner.
Mrs. Zhou looked carefully at Qin Xiangxiang. Qin Xiangxiang was similar to what Guo’s mother had described before. Although she is not extremely beautiful, she can still be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu. Mrs. Zhou suddenly hated herself. Why was she so confused? As soon as she saw something happened to the Qin family, she immediately asked Mother Guo to go to the Qin family to cancel the engagement. If she hadn't broken off the engagement, her Xu'er might still be alive. No, it's not just her fault, it's all the fault of the little vixen in Xu'er's room. He was so brave that he dared to seduce Xu'er and make him do something he couldn't do...
Mrs. Zhou resented her again and again, and finally her face became even more ugly.
Qin Xiangxiang's face was slightly rippling with wine: "Mrs. Zhou, you don't look good."
Mrs. Zhou finally came back to her senses: "My heart is gone. I originally wanted to go with him. He has been in poor health since he was born. I didn't even dare to hold him in my arms all night long." Hold on to him. Finally, he finally got through it until he grew up..."
She started to cry again.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't answer.
Mrs. Zhou seemed to be extremely tired. She cried for a while. Seeing that Qin Xiangxiang was indifferent, she leaned against the car wall, closed her eyes and rested, and said no more.
Qin Xiangxiang lifted the curtain and saw that the direction of the carriage was indeed Dali Temple.
"I won't lie to you." Mrs. Zhou said suddenly with her eyes closed to rest.
"But you cannot meet my sister alone, nor can you say anything related to the case."
Although no one from the Zhou family has become an official, they are able to do things that even Liao Haohai cannot do, which should not be underestimated.
The prison in Dali Temple was impregnable. Although Qin Xiangxiang was a woman, she was carefully searched by the female jailer.
Qin Xiangxiang followed the female jailer into the corridor, and an unpleasant smell hit her, making her feel sick. Qin Xiangxiang couldn't imagine how Qin Wanwan, who usually smoked incense all the time, could survive.
In the small cell, she met Qin Wanwan.
I have to say that there is a reason why Qin Wanwan is so madly admired by Liao Haohai.
It was all like this. Although her hair was scattered, it was neatly combed and her clothes were kept very clean. She sat upright on the straw bed, as if attending a banquet for a noble lady.
Qin Xiangxiang wanted to applaud Qin Wanwan.
