Qin Jin'an smiled.
"Hehe, that's a good thing."
It was the opening of the Zhan family's fabric shop, which also became her and her mother's money bag.
This was great news! Qin Jin'an's gloom disappeared, and she ran out of bed to find paper and pen to write.
She wants roast chicken for lunch!
After tying the letter to the gray squirrel, Qin Jin'an patted its chubby body and said, "Grey, go find my mother. Thank you for your hard work."
"Squeak—"
It wasn't hard at all, goodbye Fish Baby!
The gray mouse scurried under the bed and left through the hole.
Qin was very generous, always giving it a good reward. It was happy to help with the work, and Yu Bao was the best-behaved child, so it was overjoyed.
The gray mouse returned to its familiar old spot.
Qin gently took the letter from its body and said to the gray mouse, "Gray, I've put it at the entrance of your hole. Be careful on your way home."
Qin was very gentle with this little one, but not everyone was like her.
She hoped the little one would be safe and sound.
The gray mouse squeaked twice and then left.
Madam Qin held the letter and read it for a while, her smile as gentle as water.
Thinking about what her daughter liked to eat, Qin decided to go to the market.
She rented a small courtyard in the city and would stay there when she was too busy to work late. The shop was now being looked after by two people from the Qin clan who were good at math. All she had to do was check the accounts every day.
When Su Chang'an stopped her, Qin was annoyed. What bad luck!
Su Chang'an looked at Qin Shi, his eyes filled with suppressed resentment: "You seem to be doing quite well."
Qin sneered.
She often sees her beloved baby in her dreams, so she naturally knows what her baby is doing.
"Heaven has eyes."
Qin looked Su Chang'an up and down, and said something meaningful.
Su Chang'an's lips twitched as he said, "Don't think I don't know what you and your daughter are up to. Although we can't do anything to her, she can't leave either. Even if we have to trap her, we'll trap her to death!"
He wanted to provoke Qin into panic, preferably by secretly going to see her daughter at night, so that he could have a legitimate reason to arrest her.
Qin Shi was indeed a little nervous when she heard Su Chang'an's words, but she quickly calmed down. She smiled brightly at Su Chang'an and said, "Whatever you want to do, my lord, I have other matters to attend to and will not keep you company any longer."
Even if Su Chang'an dies to ashes, her precious baby will be fine. He doesn't have the fate to hurt her precious baby, after all, he lives in a big house but can't even afford to eat!
Qin walked around the side and strode away.
Su Chang'an clenched his fists so tightly that they made a cracking sound.
He turned and left, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
The fabric shop that suddenly appeared, I don't know whose it is, but the fabric is exactly the same as the one they used before.
Unfortunately, Su Changsheng had not yet returned at this time.
Su Chang'an had a very bad feeling, and just thinking about it made his head start to hurt again.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the fabric store, which was newly opened and packed with people.
Magpies would occasionally circle overhead, chirping as if announcing good news.
This situation made the fabric shop even more successful, as people believed that buying things from this shop would bring good luck.
The man standing outside greeting customers was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him.
Su Chang'an rubbed his forehead and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, Zhanqi's gaze fell on his back.
Zhan Qi only glanced at them before looking away, and he warmly welcomed everyone who entered the store to choose fabrics.
Su Chang'an arrived at the Liuzhou government office.
Upon seeing Jiang Xun, he asked in a deep voice, "Young Master Jiang, do you know of a shop called Zhan Chi Cloth Shop that has opened in the city?"
Jiang Xun nodded: "I've heard that. Magpies brought good news on the opening day, which is a very auspicious sign."
"Their most popular fabric used to be used in my family. Before the fabric shop burned down, only my family had that fabric. Young Master Jiang has been investigating for so long but hasn't found anything. You can start by investigating this person's background."
Su Chang'an reminded Jiang Xun, looking into Jiang Xun's eyes, he had some doubts about Jiang Xun's abilities.
Jiang Xun looked back at Su Chang'an calmly and said without changing his expression, "What you say makes sense, Lord Marquis. I will investigate."
"The case of the fire at the cloth shop is likely to remain unsolved. After investigating the scene, no suspicious traces were found, and after interviewing people in the surrounding area, no suspicious figures were seen."
Jiang Xun spoke calmly about the fire at the cloth shop, which was indeed the result of his extensive investigation.
There were no traces, no suspicious items left behind. If we had to say something, we could only say that the Su family was unlucky, and they could only accept their bad luck.
"I don't believe that this Zhan Chi Cloth Shop has nothing to do with this matter. Young Master Jiang, please don't disappoint me again."
Su Chang'an was putting pressure on Jiang Xun, meaning that no matter what methods Jiang Xun used, Zhan Chi Cloth Shop had to be linked to the fire at Su Family Cloth Shop.
Jiang Xun understood as well. He smiled faintly and looked at Su Chang'an, saying, "Whether the Marquis believes it or not is the Marquis's business. Jiang Xun will do his best and let the evidence speak for itself."
"Since Your Excellency has brought it up, why don't we investigate together? Your Excellency can judge for yourself what is right and wrong."
Jiang Xun invited Su Chang'an to investigate together, but he wouldn't become Su Chang'an's pawn just because of a few words from Su Chang'an.
Su Chang'an's expression was rather unpleasant. Even if Xiao Yuebai were here, he should have given him some face. This young man, who was valued by Xiao Yuebai, didn't even take him seriously. He had heard that he was also from the capital. Whose descendant was he?
There are several noble families in the capital with the surname Jiang.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Jiang."
He was feeling down anyway, and since Jiang Xun had said so, he decided to go along. He also wanted to see what was going on with the Zhan family.
Jiang Xun nodded slightly and walked out first.
Jiang found the cloth shop and, seeing the endless stream of people coming and going, walked up to Zhan Qi, cupped his hands in greeting, and introduced himself.
Zhan Qi's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang, Lord Su, please come upstairs with me."
Zhanqi led the way and instructed the clansmen to treat them well.
Once they reached the third floor, Zhan Qi opened the door and invited Su Chang'an and Jiang Xun to sit down.
Jiang Xun asked directly, "Master Zhan, is the fire at the Su family's cloth shop related to you?"
Zhan Qi shook his head: "We are just ordinary people, we wouldn't dare to set fires."
"Where did you get your fabric raw materials? Lord Su said that the raw materials you used were the same ones used in his fabric shop. Several fires broke out at the Su family's fabric shop, destroying all their hard work. And then your Zhan Chi Fabric Shop opened. Is it really that coincidental?"
Jiang Xun's questioning was sharp; if Zhan Qi couldn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't be able to escape suspicion.
“You mean Baihua? We bought this when we moved our clansmen to a new home. Our Zhan family used to be in the fabric business, and we could tell it was good material as soon as we looked at it. The transport of this material was delayed, so I took my clansmen to Liuzhou first, settled them down, bought a fabric shop, and hired workers. So we started production as soon as the material arrived at the beginning of this month.”
Zhan Qi was also very straightforward, directly stating that he bought it.
