The more Xia Wenqing and his wife frequented the black market and sold more goods, the more problems naturally arose.

One of their downstream clients was arrested and forced to divulge them. The couple spent a large sum of money to escape, and their savings dwindled by more than half.

Because of this incident, they became more law-abiding; the safety of people meant that their wallets could not grow fatter.

They endured until the free trade was established, and they were finally able to make a name for themselves. After going to big cities to purchase goods a few times, they were targeted by thugs and robbed.

With space available, it's impossible for it to be completely taken away.

However, after seeing that they were still doing business, the thugs robbed them several more times. Their earning speed could not keep up with the speed at which the thugs robbed them, and their savings dwindled.

To prevent the thugs from robbing them of everything, Xia Wenqing suggested that they come to the capital to do business. Under the emperor's nose, the security would definitely be better, and they wouldn't have to worry about the thugs.

Liang Jiade thought it made sense, so the two of them brought several children over.

They had nothing in the capital and looked at several houses, but they were either too expensive for them to afford, or too dilapidated or too small, and they were never satisfied.

Under these circumstances, Xia Wenqing met Duofu and learned that the Xia family was doing well. Thinking of the Xia family's string of houses, his heart was filled with excitement.

Any one of the Xia family's houses would be enough for their entire family to live comfortably.

If she hadn't run away back then, she would definitely own several houses by now.

But it's not too late now. The Xia family has always been accommodating to her every request. Let alone one house, even if she wanted several, the Xia family would give them to her.

With this belief, Xia Wenqing confessed the Xia family's affairs to Liang Jiade, revealing that the version she had told him differed somewhat.

Liang Jiade, who had known Xia Wenqing for over ten years, knew that some of her words were untrue.

At first, he was captivated by Xia Wenqing's pure and gentle appearance and fell in love with her.

However, he wasn't stupid. Not long after they moved in together, he learned the real Xia Wenqing. Liang Jiade wasn't a bad person at heart, and he would take responsibility for her if he married her.

Furthermore, since Xia Wenqing possesses a magical spatial ability, Liang Jiade is even less likely to divorce her.

Now that he knows Xia Wenqing's relationship with the Xia family, and sees that she is confident in getting benefits from the Xia family, Liang Jiade naturally will not stop her.

If they had the powerful and wealthy Xia family backing them up in the capital, they wouldn't have to worry about being bullied by locals.

Xia Wenqing found the Xia family home, but everyone else was out except for Xia Yuanqiang.

Xia Yuanqiang disliked Xia Wenqing, but considering she was Xia Tai'an's daughter, he had her sit in the main room waiting for Xia Tai'an to return.

Xia Tai'an didn't go home; Yu Rujia, who often skipped work, came back first.

When Xia Wenqing saw her, his face twisted for a moment before he demanded, "How dare you show your face here?"

She learned from an old acquaintance that Yu Rujia had reported the Xia family, but she didn't know anything else.

The person who reported the Xia family can come and go freely in the Xia family. She, the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, can't even afford a house in Beijing now.

Especially since Yu Rujia, who is in her early thirties, looks like she's not even twenty, people who are a year older than Rujia could easily mistake her for her daughter just by looking at them together.

Having disliked the original owner since childhood, she now wished she could kill Yu Rujia with her eyes.

This face was in the original owner's memories. Although she had aged considerably, Yu Rujia recognized her at a glance.

What bad luck! I never expected to run into the original owner's nemesis as soon as I came back from my slack-off stint. If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the shop a little longer.

However, if she really encountered someone, Yu Rujia wouldn't back down. She was just afraid of trouble, not of the person herself.

Without even thinking, Yu Rujia retorted, "I don't need to report to you how I ended up here."

Xia Wenqing said with hostility, "I know without you saying it. It must have been Mom who let you move in. It's always been like this since we were little. Whatever you want, she'll give it to you."

“She was blind and mistook a wolf for a cat or dog, leaving you, a scourge, to live. It was only after all the suffering that our Xia family went through to return. I will drive you out sooner or later.”

For the first seventeen years of her life, Xia Wenqing was the apple of everyone's eye. The Xia family would give her everything she wanted, except for her biological mother, Han Meifeng.

Even though Xia Wenqing is her biological daughter, Han Meifeng always forces her to give in to the original owner of the body when they meet.

Although she appeared very magnanimous in front of the other members of the Xia family and did not hold a grudge against the original owner, she knew very well that she wished she could kill the original owner a thousand times over.

Yu Rujia walked away, too lazy to pay attention to her arrogance. She was just a mad dog abandoned by the Xia family, not someone for Yu Rujia to bite. When the people who had gone to work came back, there would be plenty of people to deal with her.

Xia Yuanqiang told her to sit in the main room and wait, which probably meant the same thing.

Xia Wenqing thought he had hit Yu Rujia's sore spot, and chased after her, shouting, "You're not allowed to go in. This is my home. Get out of here!"

Yu Rujia entered the courtyard and closed the door behind her, leaving her to howl like a stray dog.

With Xia Yuanqiang around, I believe Xia Wenqing won't be able to keep wailing for long.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, Xia Yuanqiang, who had heard the commotion, came over: "Wenqing, go to the front hall and wait there. Don't disturb Rujia."

Xia Wenqing stared at him in disbelief: "Grandpa, what do you mean I disturbed her? Do you know that the trouble that happened to our Xia family was because of her? Why didn't you kick her out? Why did you still take her in?"

She clearly remembered that when she was a child, she had a dispute with Yu Rujia. Although her grandfather did not scold Yu Rujia, he asked her parents to discipline Yu Rujia. How come now that she was standing up for her family, her grandfather was stopping her?

Xia Yuanqiang: "Rujia has never done anything to wrong us. You can ask your parents for details when they come back."

Xia Wenqing retorted, "It must be my mother who has twisted the truth. No matter what Yu Rujia does, she always sides with her. Grandpa, you can't let my mother and Yu Rujia blind you."

Xia Yuanqiang's eyes flashed with anger: "Wenqing, I'll say it again, go to the front room and wait for your parents to come back. If you're making a scene here, get out."

He never disciplined his children across generations. When the original owner was alive, she caused such a commotion, and Xia Yuanqiang only asked Xia Tai'an to discipline her. He never scolded the original owner himself.

He's treating Xia Wenqing, his granddaughter whom he looks down on, the same way. She's Xia Tai'an's daughter, and how to deal with her is up to them.

Xia Wenqing was wary of his grandfather, Xia Yuanqiang. Seeing that he was angry, he immediately shut his mouth and obediently returned to the main room in front.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She, the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, was running around for a house, while Yu Rujia, the adopted daughter who had done all sorts of bad things, was living in the Xia family's beautiful and spacious house.
