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 Yong is just a person in a high position now and has no choice but to do some things, but in fact he has the same personality as Shen Qingqiu. If anyone offends me, I will punish him even if he is far away.
Changping was originally a princess, and had nothing to do with him, but she kept causing trouble for him. Since she thought her life was too long, then forget it.

"You stay here with the girl. If anything happens, you must tell me, okay?" Liu told Jin Cai.
The Liu family's wedding was over, and the red lights were gradually removed.
Early in the morning, Jin Cai and Chen Mama helped Liu sit on the sedan chair and went to the mansion that the emperor had just awarded to Yang Zhengwen. Ah Xiu arrived a day earlier. She was now the mistress, and Liu was going to get married soon, so naturally she couldn't be busy with the affairs of the mansion.
She arrived a day early and arranged everything for the servants.
Jin Cai said, "Madam, don't worry. I am here with you. Besides, there is also Master Tu Jiu. Who can harm you?"
Liu was still a little worried, so Mother Chen said, "Then I'll stay and look after her."
"Please don't worry, Madam Chen. Our young lady and the Marquis are waiting to play the long game and catch the big fish. You are old and weak. If the assassin comes, will the young lady catch the assassin or save you? Don't worry about it. You don't have the skills of the young lady. Wouldn't it be better to follow the lady to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion and enjoy a peaceful life?"
This is the truth, but Mother Chen was so angry that she grabbed Jin Cai's ear and said, "You little rascal, I haven't taught you a lesson in a few days, so you climbed up the roof and pulled the tiles off, didn't you?" Jin Cai quickly stood on tiptoe and stretched her ears to beg for mercy, saying I was wrong for a long time.
Mother Chen was not unreasonable. She knew that the little girl was doing this for her own good, so she just told her, "I will go to Mr. Yang's house to take care of the lady. You stay here to watch over the girl. If anything happens, be sure to let me know."
"I know, Mother Chen." Jin Cai said obediently.

Tu Jiu harnessed a horse-drawn carriage to send a few people to the Zhuangyuan Mansion in the morning. The round trip took only an hour, and he rushed back to the Zhuangyuan Mansion at noon time.
"Tu Jiu, the girl is waiting for you in the room." Jin Cai said.
Tu Jiu responded and nodded to go in. After a while, he realized something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "What did you call me?" He remembered that the little girl had always called him Master Tu Jiu before, so why did she call him by his name now? "I just call you Tu Jiu, what's wrong with that?" Jin Cai raised her chin, feeling secretly angry. She had hinted at him so many times, and she had grown such a big head in vain.
She will be eighteen next year, and if she doesn't get married, she will be an old maid.
He glared at Tu Jiu again, turned around and walked away. Tu Jiu was confused and could only go to see his master with his head groped.
"I have already sent the person there."
Shen Qingqiu nodded and said, "Did you find out?" Chen Liu, the ruffian, wanted to sell her the letter from Princess Changping, but he didn't know that hers was probably the largest intelligence agency in the country.
Otherwise, you would think she was idle and asked Tu Jiu to go up and down the boat just to hire a few embroiderers. In addition to bringing her tens of thousands of profits, the huge manpower inside also allowed her to quickly grasp information.
Shen Qingqiu has always known that to live freely is not enough just to have money.
"Chen Liu did go to the Princess Changping's Mansion," Tu Jiu frowned, "and he went there in broad daylight. Master, do you think this woman is mentally ill? She wants to commit murder and arson, isn't she afraid of being found out?" The whole family of the current top scholar, and the fiancée of Marquis Gu, the death of any one of them is no small matter.
Shen Qingqiu curled his lips slightly, "This woman is crazy, but she is never stupid. Going there in broad daylight is not stupid, she is declaring war on Lord Gu." The woman was sure that her family would die in the fire, and she was also sure that even if Gu Yong knew that she was the murderer, he would be powerless to do anything.
In the ancient social environment, the status of a royal relative means that one can crush people with higher ranks.
Tu Jiu didn't understand yet. As he was thinking with his head down, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past his ears.
"Who?!" Shen Qingqiu shouted coldly, and a small knife slipped out from his sleeve and firmly fixed it next to the man's ear.
The man was shaking like a sieve, and after a long while, he said in a stiff voice: "Girl... Miss..."
"Aunt Cui, didn't I tell you not to come over to deliver soup? I said the girl was discussing something with Master Tu Jiu——" Jin Cai hurried over and was about to pull Aunt Cui away. But Shen Qingqiu said, "Aunt Cui, are you here to deliver soup?"
Aunt Cui has always known that the little girl from the Liu family looks at people coldly, but today she still couldn't help shivering.
"This is the sweet ginseng soup that Mama Chen asked me to make for the girl. She told me to watch her drink it every day, so I brought it here."
Shen Qingqiu thought of how Mother Chen forced him to drink soup every day, and couldn't help but smile. But when he raised his eyebrows, there was no smile on his face. "In that case, Aunt Cui, please put down the soup."
"yes."
"Also." Shen Qingqiu's voice suddenly became a little higher. She looked at the woman below who was also dressed quite brightly, "From now on, when I discuss matters with others, no matter what the reason, you are not allowed to barge in."
"Yes, yes," Aunt Cui nodded and agreed, "I'll go out right away, right away."
Aunt Cui and Jin Cai left. Tu Jiu, who was standing below, watched her somewhat flustered steps and his eyes moved slightly. To be able to get along well in this place in the capital, Tu Jiu was naturally not as rough as she appeared. Although she was not as meticulous as a hair, the abnormality of an ordinary woman could not be ignored.
"Master, you said a few days ago that someone in your family ate at another family's house. Is that Aunt Cui?"
Shen Qingqiu opened the lid of the sweet soup and sniffed it, "You just saw it clearly?" Then he picked up the spoon and took a sip of the sweet soup.
Tu Jiu hurriedly said: "Don't!"
But Shen Qingqiu had already drunk it, and Tu Jiu was anxious, "Master, you clearly knew that something was wrong with her, why did you drink what she sent you?!" What if it was poisonous? Shen Qingqiu himself was an expert in using poisons, and he had long been immune to all poisons.
But there was no need to tell Tu Jiu about this. "She just ate someone else's food, she didn't want to go to jail. No matter how blatant it was, it wouldn't be that serious."
Tu Jiuren was not stupid. He understood it when he heard this. But he immediately felt that his IQ was crushed. How could his Kung Fu not be as good as a child's, and even his brain was not as good?
"You should follow Jincai diligently these days."

Tu Jiu frowned, "Master, you doubt Jin Cai, no, that girl may be a bit frivolous and likes to dress up, but she is definitely not that kind of person!"
Shen Qingqiu looked at him again after hearing what he said, "You have observed her very carefully."
Tu Jiu didn't react for a moment and just touched his head.
"I don't doubt her. She has a good relationship with Aunt Cui. I'm afraid she will attack Jin Cai again."
Tu Jiu nodded.
——
At night, Aunt Cui and Jin Cai came out to wash clothes together, and they started chatting.
"You said you were living here well, why did the lady suddenly move out? Will she come back in the future? Do you still want this mansion?" Aunt Cui looked worried. "If she doesn't come back, where will we go?"
Although Jin Cai did not doubt Madam Cui, she knew the priorities and did not say anything about the young lady's instructions. She only said, "The lady is going to marry the Marquis soon. It is impossible for a woman to set up a courtyard outside. Our Master Yang is now the top scholar. It is so grand to marry in the mansion of the top scholar. In the past, some people said that our lady was not worthy of the Marquis. Now let's see what those sour mouths say."
While rubbing the clothes, he said, "Aunt Cui, don't worry. Things are not settled at Zhuangyuan Mansion yet, and the girl needs someone to look after her. When everything is settled, we will all go there."
When Aunt Cui heard Jin Cai say this, she looked relieved. "I was afraid of being kicked out. How could I find a job outside at my age?" As she was speaking, Tu Jiu came over.
At this time, the night was as dark as water. He walked over alone in tight clothes. Although he was not as elegant and graceful as a young man, he was also very charming in the night. Jin Cai's face turned red.
The little girl must have understood what Aunt Cui was thinking, so she quickly picked up her clothes and said to Tu Jiu, "Master Tu Jiu, please come and find Jin Cai. I'll leave first—" Jin Cai was biting her lip and fiddling with her hair when she heard someone on the other side say, "Why would I look for her? I'm looking for you, Aunt Cui."
Jin Cai:? Then Tu Jiu took out a black box and opened it. Inside was a golden bracelet wrapped in red cloth. "This is for you, Aunt Cui."
Although she was suspicious at first, Jin Cai was furious now. The little girl was too one-sided in her thinking. Now she had nothing in her mind. She just thought that Tu Jiu would rather like a fifty-year-old woman than accept her, so she stomped her feet and ran away.
How could Aunt Cui think like Jin Cai that Master Tu Jiu had any feelings for an old woman like her? She looked at the gold bracelet in front of her and didn't dare to take it. "Master Tu Jiu, what does this mean?"
Tu Jiu said, "This is what the girl gave to Aunt Cui. Didn't Aunt Cui say a few days ago that her daughter was getting married? The girl ordered this bracelet from Duobaolou at that time. That store has always been slow to ship goods, but luckily, they dared to make it before your daughter got married."
Aunt Cui was stunned for a moment, and Tu Jiu said, "What the girl gave you is a good thing, don't you want it?"
Aunt Cui wiped her hands quickly and said, "How could it be possible? I just didn't expect the young lady to still care about me so much." She quickly took the small box and held it carefully in her hands. She smiled at Tu Jiu and said, "I will go back tonight. My daughter will be very happy to see it. I will bring her to thank the young lady tomorrow morning."
"No need. My master is not that kind of person."
"Hey, hey."
Aunt Cui thanked her profusely and then turned around and left the house. She threw the gold bracelet that she had treasured just now on the ground and said, "I didn't give it to you before. Now I have jade ones, so why do I need a gold one like you!" Then she turned around and walked forward, not towards home, but towards a restaurant outside the city.
