Chapter 12 Did they escape?

"Xiao Wan, why do you look so unhappy today?" Seeing the handsome Qin Rongyun appear in front of her, Shen Ruowan finally showed a smile.

Afraid of being recognized by her fans, she immediately got into the passenger seat and anxiously confided her worries: "I just saw Qingtang here."

"Shen Qingtang?" Upon hearing this name, Qin Rongyun subconsciously frowned and said, "This woman is really persistent; she actually followed me all the way here."

He said, "Did she make things difficult for you again?"

Shen Ruowan shook her head, appearing magnanimous and considerate, and said, "It's not that she's making things difficult, it's just that I wanted to buy a medical book, but she insisted on..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Rongyun said impatiently, "This Shen Qingtang is always so unreasonable. She doesn't even know medicine, why is she trying to take your medical book?"

Shen Ruowan sighed softly and said, "Qingtang is probably resenting me. After all, she was taken away by Madam Qin to take care of Brother Qin, and I couldn't save her." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her pitiful appearance only fueled Qin Rongyun's anger. "If anyone is to blame, it's her for insisting on chasing after the carriage, which caused my cousin to become crippled. What right does she have to resent you?"

Shen Ruowan shook her head and said, "Forget it, forget it, Rong Yun, don't be angry. Qingtang is my sister after all. It's just..." She paused for a moment and said, "It's just that I think the book she took might be useful for treating Brother Qin's leg. If she could let me take a closer look, maybe I could persuade Master to treat Brother Qin's leg."

Huang Linli was a renowned figure, and Qin Rongyun had naturally heard of him. His eyes darted around, and he replied, "Xiao Wan, don't worry, I'll definitely make her return the medical book to you."

"Young Master, it's time to eat." Xiaoqian brought the plate over, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curving upwards. She shyly tidied the stray hairs on her forehead, her ears already turning bright red as if she had thought of something.

However, Qin Guanlan remained silent, his cold green eyes sweeping across her face.

That cold glance was like the coldest drop of water in a mountain spring, sending a chill down her spine. A coldness crept into her bones, and fear slowly crept into her heart. Xiaoqian lowered her head, feeling both wronged and scared, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master, what's wrong? Is it because the food I made today didn't suit your taste?"

Qin Guanlan glanced at the door again out of the corner of his eye and said in a muffled voice, "Where is he?"

A person? Who?

Hearing this question, Xiaoqian was completely confused and replied with a bewildered look, "Young Master, aren't I right in front of you?"

Qin Guanlan blinked impatiently, said nothing, and fiddled with the spoon in his hand but didn't start eating for a long time.

Qi Yi inwardly cursed the other person's stubbornness, but immediately asked aloud, "Where is Shen Qingtang? Why didn't she come up?"

You know, this person values ​​the young master's three meals a day more than anything else. She would make up for it in the next meal if Brother Qin missed a single bite of food. Why hasn't she appeared now?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian's expression turned ugly for a moment, but she quickly lowered her head and replied, half-concealingly, "I'm not really sure either, I just saw her leave in Uncle Wang's car this morning."

“Perhaps…” she whispered, head bowed, “Miss Shen might not be suited to this job of taking care of people. I heard her complain before that it was quite hard. Maybe she’ll leave.”

"You mean Shen Qingtang ran away? How is that possible?" Qi Yi frowned and was the first to disbelieve it, retorting, "There must be some misunderstanding. I need to give her a call."

But after taking out his phone, he didn't dial the number for a long time. The pause was so long that even the usually silent Qi Er reminded him, "Qi Yi, is your phone out of credit?"

Qi Yi smiled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, and said, "I don't think I have Shen Qingtang's phone number in my phone. Does anyone have it?"

Qi Er keenly noticed that Qin Guanlan's face was somewhat dark, so he nudged Qi Yi's shoulder and gestured with his eyes for him to stop talking. However, the other party was oblivious and continued to chatter on and on, looking expectant: "Brother Qin, you must have it, right? Shen Qingtang takes such good care of you, she will definitely give you the phone number."

Upon hearing this, the veins on Qin Guanlan's forehead twitched violently twice, and he said, "Get out." His voice was extremely cold, as if it came from the Siberian steppe.

The group of people present exchanged glances, not wanting to become prey for this lion on the verge of exploding, and quickly left.

Qin Guanlan looked at the food in front of him, ate a few bites blankly, but suddenly felt a sense of annoyance. After a while, he asked Xiaoqian to come up and remove the plates.

At 2 p.m., Xiaowen and Xiaoqian came up to clean on time. Since Qin Guanlan usually rested in the small garden, the two of them openly and quietly chirped behind the owner's back.

"Sister Xiaowen, do you think Shen Qingtang has really run away since she hasn't come back for so long?"

"Tsk tsk, seeing how attentive she was to taking care of things before, I didn't expect it to only last about a week."

"They say that there are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill patient, so it's not surprising that she ran away."

"But wouldn't this be better for you, Xiaoqian?"

"From now on, you will be the young master's wife."

"Oh dear, Sister Wen, you really know how to joke with me."

...

The two girls' giggles were suddenly interrupted by a loud shout.

"Who gave you permission to spread rumors behind my back? Have you all forgotten the Qin family rules?"

With a loud bang, the toilet door was opened and shook violently twice due to the rebound of gravity.

Xiaowen and Xiaoqian looked at Qin Guanlan, who had a displeased expression, behind the door, and their faces turned deathly pale.

*

Shen Qingtang's trip took a long time, and it was almost 2:30 in the afternoon when she returned to the Qin Mansion.

When she returned, she saw Xiaowen and Xiaoqian pulling weeds under the blazing sun and couldn't help but ask in bewilderment, "Aren't there professional gardeners and lawnmowers? What are you doing here?"

The two of them had probably been working for quite a while, as their shirts were soaked with sweat and their makeup was completely ruined, making them look quite disheveled.

Xiaoqian looked at her hands, which were covered in cuts from the weeds, and bit her lip indignantly, saying, "Why are you back again?"

Shen Qingtang gave Xiaoqian a strange look and said matter-of-factly, "With Brother Qin here, of course I have to come back."

The voice that was neither too loud nor too soft happened to be heard by Qin Guanlan, who was sitting by the window on the second floor.

His previously agitated heart instantly calmed down, and the violent aura between his brows vanished without a trace. Qi Er let out a soft breath, thinking to himself that if Shen Qingtang hadn't appeared soon, he would have been unable to breathe in this kind of atmosphere.

Qi Yi rushed towards Shen Qingtang as if he had seen a savior, his eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Shen Qingtang, where are you going?" He handed over his phone with both hands and said, "Quickly exchange your contact information with me, including your phone number, WeChat, Weibo, QQ, short videos, etc."

Shen Qingtang frowned almost imperceptibly and said, "Isn't exchanging phone numbers enough?"

Qi Yi shook his head and said in an exaggerated tone, "Not enough!"

Without Shen Qingtang by his side, what difference is there between Qin Ge and a devil? He never wants to go through that again!

A note from the author:

If all goes well, the next chapter is expected to be available for purchase, and there will be at least six chapters per day after that. [Panda head][Panda head]

Pre-orders are welcome: Supporting the Family Starts with Slapping Down a Rich Heiress

During the Tongyuan era, Yuzhou suffered a severe drought, with no rain for a long time. Corrupt officials ran rampant, and exorbitant taxes and levies increased rather than decreased, leaving countless starving corpses and floating bodies everywhere.

To support her lame father, sickly mother, and two younger siblings who were crying for food, Chen Jin sold herself.

Despite her small stature, she was clever and ingratiated herself with the slave trader, selling herself into the palace at a high price and becoming one of the palace maids under the head of etiquette.

Because of her strong hands, steady mindset, and accurate application of force, she was specially promoted to be the palace maid in charge of punishments—any palace maid or eunuch who disobeyed or dared to talk back would be slapped in the face without even pausing for breath.

One night, after turning off the lights and returning home late, she inadvertently became bound to a face-slapping system, transmigrating to the modern era and becoming... a maid in a wealthy family.

[System: Slap in the face! Slap in the face! Our goal is to slap the whole world in the face!]

[Host, charge! Slap that vicious rich family female supporting character in the face!]

Zhao Jin: ...No, my hand hurts from slapping myself in the face.

[System: You'll earn "face-slapping points" for successfully proving someone wrong, which can be used to redeem food, houses, and gold and silver jewelry for your family in ancient times.]

Zhao Jin's eyes lit up, and he immediately clenched his fist: To support his family, he would start by slapping the faces of wealthy heiresses.

*

The Shen family was once a fallen wealthy family in Kyoto. Fortunately, the eldest son of the Shen family was very capable and turned the precarious Shen Group from the brink of bankruptcy into a Fortune 100 company. The Shen family was at the height of its power.

Yet this capable man was betrayed and his brakes failed, causing him to crash into the highway overpass. His fate remains unknown.

Three months later, the Shen Group changed hands, and the Shen family dismissed a large number of servants, leaving only the frail sister-in-law and a pair of nephews and nieces to guard the old Shen family mansion.

The entire wealthy family thought that the time for revenge against the Shen family had come.

But to his surprise, he was slapped repeatedly across the face.

She still got slapped in the face by a nanny! Later... well, slapped in the face is slapped in the face, as long as this lady had her fill of slapping.

*

Shen Yu thought that since he had been in a car accident, his sister-in-law, niece, and nephew would definitely be bullied.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the room filled with remorse, he saw his own black-and-white headshot and was immediately slapped so hard he felt dizzy.

I could faintly hear my little niece screaming nearby.

"Sister Chen Jin! My uncle has come back to life!"

Requesting pre-orders for: "My Whole Family Became the Control Group of the Rich and Powerful."

Ning Fu always felt that she was quite lucky. Although she transmigrated to ancient times, she was the pampered second princess, loved by her father and mother, doted on by her crown prince brother, and had suitors as numerous as carp crossing the river. She was practically guaranteed a peaceful and carefree life.

But she never expected that attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet would lead to another time travel! And this time, she would transmigrate into a novel about a wealthy family.

The Ning family, the eldest son's family, is a loving couple, with success in both business and politics, their careers are thriving, and their siblings are affectionate, with the children being either top students from Tsinghua University or top-tier actresses.

Visiting the second son's family, on the other hand, was a complete contrast.

She debuted with the image of an adulterous father, a gambling mother, a truant brother, and a mentally unstable younger sister!

Ning Fu patted her chest, crying heartbrokenly: "God of Time Travel! Let me go back to ancient times! I'll never complain about not having a refrigerator, air conditioning, or soda again!"

*

With everything falling apart from the start, Nymph gritted her teeth and gathered her whole family, attempting to sound the horn of resistance from the control group.

Ning's father: I am the true Son of Heaven, and the Empress and I are a match made in heaven. How could I be obsessed with other women?

Ning Ma: I am the mother of the world, all my subjects are my children, all things under heaven belong to me, why should I gamble for a mere amount of silver?

Prince Ning: Learning is like climbing a mountain, requiring constant progress step by step; thought is like a flowing spring, never ceasing day or night. I will certainly take the pursuit of learning seriously.

Ning Fu: ? ? ? No, why are you ancient people dressed up like me?
