Chapter 138 Your daughter is so pitiful.
Li Qiufen waved her handkerchief at her nose in disgust, as if she was very annoyed by the smell of Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi.
Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi just looked at her indifferently.
Ignoring Li Qiufen, Qin Tianhai pulled on the horse's reins, and the clever horse immediately moved away from the side.
As he passed Li Qiufen, he deliberately flicked his tail and let out a fart.
Li Qiufen retreated a considerable distance in disgust. Seeing that Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi were ignoring her, she quickly spoke up, "Why are you leaving? Don't you want the money back?"
Upon hearing about money, Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi stopped and turned to look at Li Qiufen.
Li Qiufen was dressed in ill-fitting, expensive clothes, her face was painted deathly pale with bright red lipstick, and she wore a gold hairpin in her hair. When she saw Qin looking at her, she proudly covered her nose with a handkerchief and said haughtily, "Come with me. We are people of our word, and we keep our promises."
"See this hairpin in my hair? It was personally delivered by my son-in-law. My Caiju was highly regarded as soon as she arrived at the Su family. She's destined for wealth and happiness."
Li Qiufen proudly showed off, but Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi ignored her after she talked for a long time. When she looked over, neither the father nor the daughter dared to look at her directly.
Li Qiufen laughed again, "Scholar Qin, I'm afraid you'll never be able to make a single gold hairpin for your wife in your lifetime."
Qin Tianhai didn't want to pay attention to Li Qiufen, but she was really annoying.
Qin Tianhai looked at Li Qiufen and said calmly, "This gold hairpin looks very valuable, but it doesn't reflect gold light when held up to the sun. Have you examined the gold?"
The meaning is straightforward: your gold is fake!
Li Qiufen's face immediately froze. She hadn't verified it yet, but how could this gold hairpin be fake?
Seeing her strange expression, Qin Tianhai said calmly, "It is said that pure gold is soft, and you can leave a mark by biting it with your teeth. If you burn it, it will become brighter and brighter. That's why people say that true gold is not afraid of being tested by fire."
“This is a dress that Ms. Yang wore two years ago. She thought it looked old-fashioned.”
Qin added insult to injury, originally not wanting to pay attention to Li Qiufen, but she was really noisy.
Li Qiufen's face darkened further, and the arrogance she had displayed earlier was gone. Now she felt uncomfortable all over.
The hairpin was fake, how embarrassing! And such nice clothes were worn by that old man two years ago and he even complained about them. Li Qiufen felt her face burning with shame, feeling insulted.
Qin looked at the slightly cracked face powder on Li Qiufen's face and said, "The face powder they gave you was leftover from last year. Newly made face powder won't dry out so easily. The servants in the Su family don't use this box of face powder."
She was disliked and kicked out of the Su family, but that doesn't mean she didn't understand anything.
The Su family was still as shrewd as ever; seeing that Li Qiufen lacked knowledge, they deliberately fooled her.
Li Qiufen is eager to show off and wants to parade around shouting, "I'm living a life of luxury!" But her awkward attire makes everyone who sees her shake their heads.
The large gold hairpin in her hair looked impressive, but even thieves weren't interested in stealing it because it was obviously fake.
I just tried to appease her.
After Qin Shi and Qin Tianhai finished speaking, Li Qiufen fell completely silent.
She stopped showing off and even lowered her head a few notches. Taking advantage of Qin Shi and Qin Tianhai's inattention, she took off the gold hairpin.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, she said to Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi, "You two can go upstairs yourselves. My daughter is in the 'Drunken Breeze' private room."
Li Qiufen couldn't wait a moment longer and had to go verify the authenticity of the gold hairpin.
Qin Tianhai settled the horse, and then went upstairs with Qin Shi.
Compared to Li Qiufen's flamboyance, Zhao Caiju was not much different. She wore a bright lake-blue dress, a jade hairpin in her hair, and a pair of green bracelets on her wrists.
"Uncle Qin, Sister Yuwan, you're here! Haven't eaten yet? Please sit down and eat."
Zhao Caiju smiled, her chin always held high, every move she made exuding wealth.
"We won't eat; we're in a hurry to get back. Since you've gotten your wish, just keep your promise."
Qin Tianhai had no appetite for the food on the table; no matter how good the food was, he couldn't eat it if he didn't like the person.
"Fine, don't eat then. I won't go back on my word. I was hoping to do you a favor, but you really don't appreciate it?"
Zhao Caiju calmly took out a box, then pretended to be aloof as she placed a hook: "I saw Qin Jin'an at the Su residence."
Don't you want to know if she's doing well?
Ask quickly, ask quickly!
Zhao Caiju pretended to be indifferent, but in reality, she was about to explode inside.
That's a thousand taels of silver; she couldn't bear to give it to them. If they asked, she could just take the opportunity to get the money back.
Qin glanced at Qin Tianhai, and Qin Tianhai immediately understood.
They were worried about the child, but it was impossible for Zhao Caiju to reveal any news about the child. It was better not to listen to what Zhao Caiju and her daughter said.
"Pay up, and we'll be even."
Qin Tianhai spoke calmly.
Zhao Caiju looked at Qin Shi: "That's your child, whom you carried for ten months and gave birth to. How can you be so heartless? She's having a terrible time in the Su family. She's in pain every day!"
Qin swallowed hard, her hands clenched tightly into her palms, and her breathing slowed down.
Even though reason told her that Zhao Caiju was lying, that Bai Diandian had been reporting her safety every day, and that she had been bringing her baby meat jerky every day, she hadn't seen her baby for many days...
Even knowing that Zhao Caiju was lying, it still stung her heart.
"Now that I am a master of the Su family, I do have some kinship with your daughter. Although my cousin refuses to acknowledge us, she is still my cousin in my heart. I would be happy to help you take care of your daughter."
"The Su family already has two grandsons, and both of them have mothers. Qin Jin'an is all alone, without even a maidservant by his side, only a lame black dog. He looks so pitiful..."
Zhao Caiju deliberately spoke to provoke Qin Shi, knowing that Qin Shi was definitely concerned about the child, because Qin Shi's expression was already unsettled.
Zhao Caiju smiled and said, "Anyway, you're already so rich, you won't be short of a thousand taels. Give me this thousand taels, and I'll help you take care of your child, how about that? I'm pregnant, and the Su family values me and gives me gold, silver, and jade. With me protecting you, your daughter won't have to worry about food or clothing."
Moreover, Qin Jin'an is very accurate in fortune telling, and it seems that his words can become law. She will definitely give birth to a son, and she will be close to the child from a young age. In the end, everything in the Su family will belong to her son!
Zhao Caiju thought happily, feeling that life was full of beauty. She, Zhao Caiju, was God's favorite daughter, born to enjoy happiness.
Qin slowly exhaled and sneered, "It's just a child. I can have another one if I want. It's not worth a thousand taels. Instead of trying to take advantage of me, you should focus your attention on the Su family. What you're wearing is something Su Yu'e didn't want two years ago. And what you're wearing isn't jade at all. It's fake and worthless. If you don't believe me, go and exchange your jade bracelet with Su Yu'e. See if she'll agree!"
