Chapter 640 Friend of Women
A look of pain flashed in Qin Nanyan's eyes. She clutched her chest and, after a long while, said absentmindedly, "It's different. I'm not like her."
Lin Yuesha's mother did not die. Not only did she survive, she remarried and escaped the scumbag, living a good life. Therefore, the best revenge Lin Yuesha could take against the Lin family was to let them see that she was doing well.
But she lost her mother, and everything else too.
She wouldn't be satisfied until these scumbags were dead!
Qin Nanyan knew her idea was crazy, but it gave her the motivation to live; she was eager to be filled with the pleasure of revenge.
“Yuli, you were given to me by my mother, and you’ve been with me for several years now.”
Qin Nanyan paused, looked up at Yu Li, and saw that Yu Li's eyes were filled with tears. She shook her head and said, "You have taken good care of me these past few years. I will give you the indenture and a sum of money that will ensure you have enough to eat and wear for the rest of your life."
This matter concerns Qin Nanyan and the Qin family; there's no need to drag unrelated people into it.
Qin Nanyan had long regarded Yu Li as a sister, which was a way to leave Yu Li a way out.
If you're worried about not having anyone to rely on, then go follow Lin Yuesha. But Lin Yuesha is, after all, a young lady of the Lin family, so it's uncertain whether she'll accept Yu Li.
"Miss, what are you saying?"
When persuasion failed, Yu Li had already prepared for the worst. She had no family; her mistress was her last remaining relative, and even in death, the two of them would die together.
Since Qin Nanyan is so resolute, she will stay with her.
"Miss, what are your plans?"
Killing the head of the Qin family is no easy task. Are the two of them supposed to go to the black market to find someone? If it were that easy, the old master and master would have been killed by their rivals a hundred or eighty times over.
“The old woman left behind by my mother works in the kitchen. Although she only does odd jobs, she still has ways to poison people.”
Qin Nanyan smiled and said that the date would be the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the day she got married, and the whole Qin family would go to the underworld for a reunion.
"You mean..."
Yu Li immediately understood that her young mistress's plan was to poison the old master and his entourage through the main kitchen.
"Yes, don't blame me for being vicious. When we gave them a chance, my mother knelt down and begged so desperately, but were those heartless people even speaking human language?"
The most despicable person is Master Qin. He took a large sum of money from my mother and promised that Zhou would arrange Qin Nanyan's marriage. Now he has gone back on his word. If it weren't for preventing her from being sold to the Lin family, my mother wouldn't have been so desperate as to take her own life.
They can all die. As for the sins, she will bear them alone. Even if she goes to hell after death, to be tormented by knives and fire, as long as the Qin family can atone for their sins with their deaths, it will all be worth it.
As for Lin Shusheng, Qin Nanyan didn't want to implicate innocent people, so she hid a dagger and made her move on her wedding night.
Killing your enemy with your own hands, that must feel incredibly good.
After Qin Nanyan finished explaining the plan, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
The night was pitch black, with not a single star in the sky.
After autumn arrived, there were occasional autumn rains. Lin Yuesha felt cold, so she put on a cloak and went out of the mansion.
Today, Scholar Lin was still not at home. He was either out indulging in pleasure or spending time with his beloved concubine. Old Madam Lin went to bed early, and she was free again.
"Miss, the master is waiting for you at the back door."
At the appointed time, Xiao Qi appeared on time. Lin Yuesha perked up and quickly boarded the carriage.
"Brother Yun, I have a favor to ask."
Once in the carriage, Lin Yuesha got straight to the point.
She would go to the mansion to ask for the money first thing tomorrow morning. The steward said that her scumbag father had set a limit, and the maximum amount he could give Lin Yuesha was ten thousand taels of silver.
She wouldn't just take the ten thousand taels of silver directly; Lin Shusheng would send his trusted confidants to keep track of the expenses.
“My scumbag father is really shrewd. Unless I and his confidants agree to secretly withhold a portion to falsify the accounts, I won’t get a single penny of benefit.”
Lin Yuesha had previously thought that money could be spent at will, but it turned out she was just being presumptuous.
“Brother Yun, think about it, how could I, a girl who was taken to the Lin family, dare to mention this to the old woman? What if she tells on us…”
Lin Shusheng probably didn't trust his wife to go shopping on her own, so he had the two of them supervise each other. What a clever plan!
"That's fine. Let's go to Taipingfang. I have a shop there."
Ten thousand taels of silver was enough. Xiao Qi had already prepared highly realistic fakes and flawed ornaments, just waiting to rip off the unsuspecting customers.
He would hand over all the money to Lin Yuesha, leaving her to use it as she pleased.
Regarding money, he has changed his tactics and no longer cheats his younger sister, mainly because he feels sorry for her working too hard to earn money.
"Brother Yun, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter again."
Lin Yuesha heard that the pockmarked face was quite busy, so she kept it brief and brought up the matter of Jiao Niang recognizing her relatives again. It would be even better if they could find evidence that Old Madam Lin had abducted Jiao Niang and turn the two against each other.
I will investigate this matter for you.
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he took out a purse and handed it to Lin Yuesha. He had heard from Qingxing that it had been raining frequently lately, and his younger sister's hands and feet were cold, and she was suffering from severe abdominal pain during her period. So he had someone prepare brown sugar and other things in advance, so that Lin Yuesha could drink a bowl of it every night before bed to improve blood circulation and regulate her qi.
Lin Yuesha accepted the purse, her heart filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe. The pockmarked man was so considerate and thoughtful, even giving her a recipe for nourishing women, which reminded her of a modern term, "friend of women."
The two looked at each other, and then turned their heads away.
"you……"
Xiao Qi and Lin Yuesha said in unison, "You go first."
The two were so in sync that even the green apricots outside the car window seemed to chuckle.
"It's alright, Brother Yun, I'll head back now."
Lin Yuesha took out a purse containing pine nut candies she had made and gave it to the pockmarked man as a snack.
"Take care of yourself."
Xiao Qi watched Lin Yuesha enter the mansion and then said to Qingxing, "Now that Zhou Shi is dead, I'm afraid Qin Nanyan won't let this go. Protect Miss well."
"Yes, my lord."
Qingxing knelt on one knee, thinking to herself, "Thank goodness, the master doesn't know that the young lady already knows his identity. It seems that as long as the young lady continues to pretend to be confused, she can keep it a secret for a while longer."
After leaving the Lin residence, Xiao Qi instructed the driver to go directly into the alley and head straight for the "haunted house" that he had previously intended to sell cheaply to Lin Yuesha.
The exterior was dilapidated, but once inside the courtyard, people were already waiting with lanterns, and the faint sounds of string and wind instruments could be heard from within.
Xiao Qi strode into the garden and saw lanterns placed around the center of the artificial hill, where a beautiful woman in a purple dress was dancing gracefully.
"You've arrived. What do you think of my dance?"
Ziyuan's body was as light as a butterfly. She spun around several times and went straight into Xiao Qi's arms.
Faced with this, Xiao Qi took a step back and deftly turned to the side, causing Zi Yuan's attempt to embrace him to miss its mark.
