A modern, highly intelligent, cold-blooded female assassin, reborn into the body of a seven-year-old little darling in ancient times.
Father doesn't love her, and the mistress is vicious....
Gu Shaoqing was afraid of this girl in the first place, so he tried every means to gather so many people to suppress Liu early in the morning while she was practicing martial arts. However, he did not expect that his action was still too slow, and she was actually driven here.
Mother Chen breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward. She first placed a small stool for the girl next to the lady, then poured her some tea, and then told her everything that had happened today without bias.
"Now that our Madam is pregnant, the ladies from the Li and Zhao families have come over one after another, worried about our Madam's health. They're afraid that Madam will be too busy with the work in the embroidery building and will harm the baby in her belly. They say they want to help Madam share some of the burden." But when she said it, it sounded like sharing, but when Mother Chen said it, it sounded like someone was trying to take advantage of her.
Those women all showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Shen Qingqiu smiled after hearing what Mother Chen said, "If you have good intentions, it will be easy to handle. In the future, I will also pay attention to which daughter-in-law or daughter in your mansion is pregnant. If they have any shops under their control, ask my mother to help take care of them." After saying this, his pair of cold eyes kept scanning the people in the hall.
These words are simply tearing off the person's modesty.
Those people looked up, hoping that the old lady would say something for them, but the old lady just kept her head up and didn't even look at them.
At this moment, some smart people knew what was going on. The Gu family had suffered a great disaster that year, and they were unwilling to bear the brunt of it, so they remarried. Although the old lady was kind-hearted and did not stop them, how could she watch them take advantage of the Gu family?
"Old lady, it's getting late and I have a lot of things to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."
After they figured it out, they quickly covered their faces with handkerchiefs and left. Seeing that the last one had left, the old lady snorted slightly, looked at Shen Qingqiu again, and smiled: "Qiu'er is very good." Because of the face of the Gu family, she has always been courteous to these people, but some people are really taking advantage of her.
If Shen Qingqiu hit her like this, it would be unpleasant, but if it happened to someone else, she would feel very happy when she saw it.
"After all, they are outsiders that you cannot trust. Although I am old, I am not stupid. I know what to do." Old Lady Xu also knew that Shen Qingqiu was not easy to talk to. She took Liu's hand and almost begged, "I am so old now. I don't want anything. I just want the children and grandchildren of the Gu family to be happy. You should give birth to the flesh and blood in your belly. I know you are a little dissatisfied with Shaoqing, but we are all family. Can't you give him another chance?"
If Old Lady Xu continued to be tough, Liu might still try to get away with it in other ways, but after hearing what she said, Liu couldn't harden her heart at all. She looked at her daughter in embarrassment.
"The old lady is right. You can't write two Gu characters with one stroke. Why wouldn't a family believe it?" Shen Qingqiu looked at her mother. "Now that mother is pregnant, it's really not easy for her to be busy with things outside. If Shaoqing brother is willing to help, that's great."
Gu Shaoqing was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost. He never expected that the four words "Brother Shaoqing" would make him feel so uncomfortable when they came out of Shen Qingqiu's mouth.
“Okay, okay, okay!” Old Lady Xu was overjoyed and held Shen Qingqiu’s hand. “Qiu’er is really sensible. I don’t know what to say.”
The old lady looked at Liu again, her eyes full of anticipation.
The textile factory originally belonged to the girl. Although she didn't know why she agreed to invite Gu Shaoqing in, since she couldn't resist now, Liu nodded in agreement with her daughter. Gu Shaoqing felt that things were going too smoothly and he was suspicious, but Old Lady Xu took his hand and asked him to thank Liu.
He could only bow and thank Aunt Jiu sincerely.
But the moment she raised her head and stood up, she saw Shen Qingqiu staring at her with a contemptuous smile in his eyes.
At that moment, Gu Shaoqing felt a surge of anger rushing up to his head! Did Shen Qingqiu think that even if he was asked to enter the textile factory, he would not be able to do anything! Gu Shaoqing was furious, but he had to put on a fake smile on his face. He was so angry that he said: If you dare to look at me, I will show you what it means to let a wolf into the house!

"Miss, how could you agree to let Gu Shaoqing work in the textile factory? It's obvious that he has bad intentions!" When they returned to their own courtyard, Mother Chen was the first to lose her temper. She originally asked Jin Cai to invite the young lady because she was afraid that the lady could not hold it, but she did not expect that the lady could hold it, and the young lady was the first to spoil it.
Shen Qingqiu drank a cup of sweet honey water, and then said: "When the enemy comes, we can only stop them with the generals, and when the water comes, we can only cover it with the earth. I was just worried that I had no excuse to deal with them. Since they took the initiative to deliver it to my door, why should I refuse?"
"Miss, you have an idea. What is it?" Mother Chen has always been interested in intrigue.
Shen Qingqiu raised her eyes and handed the honey water to Mother Chen, "Just take good care of my mother, as for these minions, you don't have to worry about them." She rubbed her palms and said, "I will take care of them one by one."
Although Mother Chen was curious about the girl's plan, she didn't tell her what she meant, and the lady really needed someone to take care of her because she was pregnant, so she didn't ask any more questions. Liu was a little worried as she stroked her belly and looked at Shen Qingqiu, "Even if Gu Shaoqing has bad intentions, he is now the only descendant of the second house. Qiu'er, if you don't find a way to move the factory, the old lady will not let it go if you really do something to Gu Shaoqing."
Shen Qingqiu raised her eyebrows slightly, "If she won't let it go, will I let it go?" When did she, Shen Qingqiu, become so easy to talk to? Liu and Chen Mama were stunned when they heard her words, especially Chen Mama, "Miss, although the Gu family's backyard is also in chaos, it is much better than the Shen family. Besides, the old lady is just old and soft-hearted, and she was deceived by the second house before, but now that the traitor is gone, isn't she also very good to Madam?"
Mother Chen was really afraid that this little evildoer would become ruthless again. After all, Marquis Gu's Mansion was her home now, and it would be embarrassing if the situation got out of hand.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I know what's going on." Shen Qingqiu said.
She likes this home, a home with a father, a mother, and a future brother or sister. But it is precisely because of this that she will not allow anyone to destroy it.
Old Madam Xu is actually fine under normal circumstances, but she is also easily deceived. If the source is not nipped in the bud, who knows how much trouble will arise in the future.

It was getting dark, Shen Qingqiu combed his hair into a man's bun, changed into men's clothes, and fiddled in front of the mirror for a long time.
Jin Cai didn't know what she was going to do, and watched suspiciously for a long time. When Shen Qingqiu turned around, she was shocked: "You, who are you!"
The man in front of him was half a head taller, with a pure red face and white teeth, black hair piled high on his head, but his eyebrows were full of heroism, looking like a romantic and unrestrained young man. Shen Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and just smiled at Jin Cai.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, she was a personal servant, and she had just seen her tinkering with it, so Jin Cai asked in disbelief, "Young lady?"
Is she really a demon star? Otherwise, could she really change her face so much? And she even got taller! She doesn't look like a 10-year-old girl at all, but rather like a 14 or 15-year-old boy.
Shen Qingqiu pointed at her higher nose bridge and said, "Women's makeup skills are not just about applying rouge and powder." As a lonely killer in her previous life, of course she had to know a little bit about everything.
"But, girl, you've grown taller, haven't you?" Jin Cai compared her head with the girl's. Originally, she was a head shorter than her, but now she was almost as tall as her. Shen Qingqiu didn't answer her, but walked out of the house in his specially made height-increasing shoes. Jin Cai wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Shen Qingqiu.
"I am in disguise so that others can't recognize me. If you follow me, won't it arouse suspicion?"
Jin Cai could only stay in the room.
Shen Qingqiu slightly curled her lips. She raised her nose a little, and used charcoal to outline her eyebrows, which were dark and thick. However, her facial features were still beautiful. At first glance, she looked like a romantic and dashing boy. Wasn't Gu Shaoqing looking for her mother's mistress? With her appearance, wouldn't people not be suspicious?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqiu's smile widened, as if he had seen how Gu Shaoqing was courting his own death.
After sneaking away from the backyard of the marquis's mansion, he hailed a carriage and went directly to the textile factory in the east of the city.
Today was the day when Gu Shaoqing entered the textile factory. Gu Shaoqing was already a young man, but he was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and spent the whole day playing with cats and dogs in the mansion. Old Lady Xu was worried about his future, and she was happy to see that he wanted to enter the textile factory. Although doing business was not a proper way, for Gu Shaoqing, it was finally a proper job.
Therefore, as soon as Liu agreed, Old Lady Xu urged him to come to the textile factory.
The people in the factory had also received instructions, and someone was outside preparing to welcome the young master from the Gu family. When Gu Shaoqing got off the carriage and followed the others into the factory, Shen Qingqiu also came in from another direction. After arranging everything, she had a new identity, the manager of the textile factory, Zhao Yulou.
"Master Gu, this is where our manager Zhao Yulou lives. If you want to know more about our factory, you might as well ask Master Yulou."
Gu Shaoqing heard several people mention the name Zhao Yulou, and seeing that they all looked quite respectful, he also felt that Zhao Yulou's status in the textile factory must be extraordinary. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the name was quite romantic, but he had never heard of it in the capital, so he thought that Zhao Yulou was just an insignificant character.
Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open, and the young man inside turned his head slightly. He glanced at Gu Shaoqing and said with some disdain: "Are you Gu Shaoqing?"
