Chapter 19 The Unspeakable Brother: Even the smartest person can't resist a cow...
Zhang Yu was relieved that Huihong had forgotten the past; that was for the best. She shouldn't remember those bitter days, and her sister should live a good life.
His younger sister used to be his reason for studying hard; now, it's his reason for wanting to stay in the capital. He wants to be his sister's support, to work hard and earn money so she won't have to serve others anymore.
His younger sister said he should study.
So he went to read it.
Qin Xianglan had paved the way for many years and raised many "evil spirits." She held the evidence of these evil spirits' crimes and their contracts, using them as leverage to manipulate them into doing dirty work for her.
Now that Qin Xianglan has money, she wants power.
Qin Xianglan understood that she could not rely on the power of others indefinitely.
She holds leverage over many powerful figures, and has people within the Legalist sect who can obtain exam questions. She then sends people to the capital to cultivate power that belongs exclusively to her.
Cultured people cherish their reputation. Even if she had something on them, they wouldn't dare to do something that would punish their entire family, given their lack of experience and cowardice.
After searching for a long time, Qin Xianglan still couldn't find a suitable person.
Zhang Yuyi, this cultured gambler, becoming an accomplice is the final piece of the puzzle in the plan.
When he enrolled, he was responsible for contacting students who wanted to obtain the exam questions. Regardless of their background, they all had to sign a written contract as a basis for future "cooperation".
Zhang Yuyi knew the principle that fortune favors the bold, so upon their first contact, he forged documents and kept a copy for himself.
He finished calmly.
After school that day, Zhang Yu wanted to give his younger sister a gift, but when he was choosing a gift, his hands trembled with nervousness.
Zhang Yu wanted his younger sister to have a better life.
No matter what method you use.
...
Jin Suiqing opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
I wondered why they hadn't contacted her, but then I realized that Zhang Yu had the evidence and was probably waiting for her to exchange Hui Hong's indenture and the sulfur generator for it.
They're all smart people; they won't do a losing business.
She wanted to ask why the sachet she received was decorated with a pair of lovebirds, but after thinking about it, Jin Suiqing swallowed this ethical question.
This is Jinjiang, so let's forget about it.
Zhang Yu laughed freely: "I knew I couldn't keep my promise. I put on that show in front of the little princess to make her pity Huihong and take good care of her. I just didn't expect that the little princess was not as stupid as outsiders said, but an extremely intelligent person."
Jin Suiqing smacked her lips: "Thank you for praising me."
Zhang Yuyi calmly replied, "You're welcome."
Jin Suiqing then asked, "After the truth came out, how did you threaten Qin Xianglan to spare your life?"
Zhang Yuyi: "I told her that I had spies around, and if they couldn't ensure my survival, they would send the evidence to the Empress's bedside. She couldn't take my life, but she was also afraid I would run away, so she broke one of my legs."
Jin Suiqing's eyes widened: "Your informants are this capable? Wow, that's impressive."
Zhang Yuyi humbly replied, "I saved his brother's life, so I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude."
Based on the information exchanged between the two parties, Zhang Yuyi accurately grasped her awkward position and gave her a chance.
If she had taken Huihong's indenture to Zhang Yuyi earlier, Zuixianlou would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Of course, you can't blame her; you should blame Jin Shiyu, who imprisoned her.
"Hmph," Jin Suiqing said coldly, "I don't understand why Qin Xianglan suddenly lost her temper and kidnapped us."
Zhang Yuyi: "Someone put pressure on her. Many of Qin Xianglan's shops and estates have been seized, resulting in uneven profits and losses. She had no choice but to cut her losses and survive. She wanted to leave the capital with the written agreement. You and I, one of us has physical evidence and the other is a witness. We can silence her in time, making it look like I killed you out of revenge and then committed suicide, thus eliminating future troubles and making it easier for us to make a comeback in the future."
Neither of them asked who had put pressure on Qin Xianglan; they simply looked at the ceiling.
Aunt Huangfu was ruthless and used entrapment tactics to force Qin Xianglan to kidnap someone.
Kidnapping the young princess is a serious crime, and those who commit crimes should be investigated and punished, thus providing a reason to eliminate Qin Xianglan's power.
The bait, Jin Suiqing, was somewhat speechless.
Zhang Yu comforted her, saying, "At first I was curious why you pretended to be stupid, but after thinking about your identity, it seems that pretending to be stupid is something you have no other choice."
My heart ached with tears, and I suddenly felt that I had found a kindred spirit in this world.
She empathized with the hysteria of the fake heiress in the original book.
No matter how harmless Jin Suiqing appeared, her few relatives all treated her as a tool.
miserable.
Jin Suiqing sighed: "We've pretty much finished communicating. What's next?"
We can't just sit here and wait to die.
Zhang Yu shook his head, twisted his bound wrists, revealing a golden stone held between his fingertips.
A gold piece with a sharp cross-section and a sulfur base.
Zhang Yu winked at her: "The little princess won't die, and she can't die. I still want my sister to live."
As expected, a wise person would have been prepared. No wonder Qin Xianglan liked it; she liked it too!
Jin Suiqing was overjoyed. If they could leave Zuixianlou alive, she would definitely bring Zhang Yuyi under her command!
Zhang Yu was about to cut the rope for her when a series of hurried, solid footsteps interrupted him. He hooked his finger and hid the sulfur-bottomed gold.
Before he could even see who it was, Jin Suiqing was grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
He choked her again!
Jin Suiqing's hands and feet were bound, and this time she couldn't even struggle. She was lifted to the outside of the railing and hung in mid-air.
Under the moonlight, she finally saw the face of the person who was choking her.
This was the first time she had met Qin Xianglan face to face.
That unremarkable face had a touch of weariness, lacking the hysterical ferocity of a villain after a defeat. Beneath her elegant clothes, broad shoulders extended to strong biceps, firmly gripping her.
It didn't even shake.
"Qin Xianglan was a robust woman. She was tall, with strong arms, and her body was like a wall..."
Wow, if it weren't for the unfavorable situation, Jin Suiqing would really like to give a shout-out.
She's at the mommy level.
Qin Xianglan looked at Jin Suiqing and said calmly, "I never thought I would fall for a little girl like you."
Jin Suiqing was almost out of breath: "I... never expected... that Boss Qin would look like this..."
Qin Xianglan chuckled: "Ugly?"
"No..." Jin Suiqing tried to make light of the situation, and said with a smile, "I love... Mom... Mommy so much."
Qin Xianglan: ?
Qin Xianglan's eyes darkened: "Are you flirting with me?"
“No, Mommy,” Jin Suiqing said, “I admire you, Boss Qin. You are so amazing. You can make a name for yourself in the capital all by yourself.”
Qin Xianglan: "You think I'll let you off the hook just because you praise me?"
Jin Suiqing shook his head with difficulty: "You think a few words of praise will make Boss Qin let me go? It's a cheap deal."
Qin Xianglan was stunned for a moment, unsure whether she was amused or annoyed: "Although we only exchanged a few blows, I quite like you, little princess. If you were my daughter, I would do my best to teach you to become the most powerful person in the world."
Jin Suiqing smiled sweetly: "No, Boss Qin, given your ambition, you would just strangle me the moment I show my extraordinary intelligence. You are more suited to developing the elixir of immortality."
"Hahaha, you understand me quite well," Qin Xianglan laughed heartily. "Interesting, what a pity."
Without further ado, Qin Xianglan tightened her grip quickly.
Jin Suiqing was suffocating and hanging in mid-air, her eyes fixed on Zhang Yuyi behind Qin Xianglan, who was trying to cut the rope.
Zhang Yuyi, hurry up and cut it! Hurry up and cut it!
If she dies, Huihong will die too!
The feeling of suffocation was unbearable; his head was throbbing, tears and snot streamed down his face, and the world was spinning. Jin Suiqing felt an indescribable nausea, mixed with the metallic taste of blood rising in his throat.
My neck was being choked again; I felt nauseous but couldn't vomit, and I couldn't even catch my breath.
Although Jin Suiqing is a modern young woman who can go crazy anytime and anywhere, and says she "want to die" every day, she really doesn't want to die at all.
Life isn't always wonderful, but there are always things that Jin Suiqing cares about.
For example, Ye Zhufeng.
For example, Kintoki...
Let's forget about that.
Why did I think of that bastard? Jin Suiqing tried her best to dispel the thoughts racing through her mind.
She didn't want to die, she didn't want to die at all!
Someone please save her!
In Jin Suiqing's vision, which was almost completely dark, Zhang Yuyi finally finished cutting the rope and pounced on Qin Xianglan with both hands and feet!
Qin Xianglan was knocked down by Zhang Yu's blow, her knee hitting the railing. She was also holding Jin Suiqing in her hand, and she lost her balance and tumbled over.
Qin Xianglan quickly released Jin Suiqing and grabbed the railing!
Zhang Yuyi, whose hands and feet had gone numb from being tied up for too long, also climbed over the railing and, in the struggle, clung tightly to Qin Xianglan's waist!
The two were hanging in mid-air.
Jin Suiqing, who was thrown out by Qin Xianglan, fell to the ground with free fall acceleration.
She was suffocating and didn't even have the strength to struggle.
The wind was cool, and my head was spinning.
Is this what it feels like to fall from a building?
The lanterns that had just dispersed gathered again, and Jin Shiyu's incredibly handsome face reappeared before her eyes.
Go away, call Ye Zhufeng here. She doesn't want to see Jin Shiyu before she dies.
As a result, Kim Shi-ok not only didn't leave, but also spoke up.
The boy's unique, clear voice, spoken before using the voice changer, cut through the night wind like a sharp knife, piercing into Jin Suiqing's ears.
"Golden Shattered Green!"
