Chapter 380: Glaze
Qiu Songbai's expression changed and he could no longer maintain his affectionate look.
"Lin Wanyu, don't you know whether it's a rumor or not?" Qiu Songbai said coldly, "The truth will come to light sooner or later. It's your fault for not doing things cleanly back then, and you actually left such a big handle behind."
When Qiu Songbai said this, he gave Lin Wanyu a look of contempt.
She continued, "Do you think you're still the second aunt of the Duke of Ying's Mansion? We, the Qiu family, have done our utmost to take you in. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us, the Qiu family, for being ruthless!"
Lin Wanyu, “…”
She looked at the man in front of her with disbelief, the man she had snatched from her by any means necessary.
She has been strong all her life, but ended up in this situation because of a man like this.
What on earth was it about this man that made her do this?
Bloated body, unsteady steps, cold and heartless...
Moreover, he spends the whole day idle and idle, wandering around with women, looking like a good-for-nothing with his body hollowed out.
The image of Old Man Su, tall, mighty and handsome, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Wanyu.
Lin Wanyu had to admit that her man was no match for Lin Wanru's man!
Lin Wanyu closed her eyes, a hint of strong unwillingness flashing in them.
At the same time, a wave of regret welled up in her that she was unwilling to admit.
She regretted that she had fallen for such a heartless man!
"Alright, Yu'er." Qiu Songbai suddenly slowed down his tone and said, "The Emperor's birthday is approaching. If the birthday gift we present this time pleases the Emperor, he might not pursue your case."
"When the time comes and the Emperor is in a good mood, my father will join forces with a few ministers to speak well of my father-in-law in front of the Emperor. Who knows, maybe the Emperor will restore my father-in-law's title and official position..."
When Qiu Songbai said this, a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
He added, "Take out ten thousand taels of silver for now. I'll go and search carefully. I'll definitely find some rare and valuable items to present as a birthday gift."
"Ten thousand taels?!" Lin Wanyu screamed in disbelief, "Qiu Songbai, why don't you just go and rob?"
Qiu Songbai's face changed, and he said unhappily, "It's just a mere ten thousand taels, is it worth making such a fuss? Do you know that as long as the birthday gift can please the emperor, your father-in-law's title and official position will be restored, and you will still be the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion."
Lin Wanyu, “…”
A hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
She now deeply felt that without the support of her mother's family, she would not be able to gain a foothold in the Shangshu Mansion.
"Hurry up!" Qiu Songbai urged irritably, "Right now, all the officials and nobles in the capital are searching the world for rare items. If we're late, I'm afraid all the good stuff will have been bought by others."
A few days ago, he fell in love with Hong Ni, the new top star in Hongfen Pavilion.
However, if you want to redeem Hong Ni, you will have to spend at least ten thousand taels of silver.
After hearing what Qiu Songbai said, Lin Wanyu gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have that much money on hand right now. I have to sell some shops first."
Qiu Songbai frowned, "Then hurry up!"
After saying that, he strode out without any reluctance.
After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Lin Wanyu.
"Oh, right, since we're selling the shop, why not sell more and exchange it for more cash? There are so many rumors going around right now, and if we want to stop them, we'll have to make some arrangements."
"Isn't the reputation of Shangshu Mansion enough to suppress some gossips from the common people?" Lin Wanyu said with a grim expression.
Unless, no one has ever thought of using the power of the Shangshu Mansion to suppress it.
Or perhaps it could be said that the Shangshu Mansion was eager to use this opportunity to get rid of her, the eldest young lady whose family had fallen on hard times and who was of no use to the Shangshu Mansion.
"You know, Dad has always been honest and upright. Why would he use his power for some mere gossip? He'll be used against us by the censors." Qiu Songbai said nonchalantly, "I'll have to step in and do some favors."
Lin Wanyu scoffed, "Okay, I get it."
Of course she knew.
Her father-in-law will definitely not stand up for her.
Moreover, her own man is totally unreliable.
It turns out that without the support of her mother's family, she would really be left isolated and helpless.
However, it is impossible to turn a wife into a concubine!
Qiu Songbai strode away. Lin Wanyu looked at Qiu Songbai's back, her fingers tightly grasping the handkerchief, her eyes changing unpredictably.
At this time, Lin Wanyu didn't know that her nightmare had just begun.

Daliushu Village.
"Fuya, look what good things uncle brought you."
County Magistrate Zheng walked into the Su family with a smile on his face.
He didn't expect that he would send a letter to his relatives in the capital and tell them about the crane.
At the same time, he also said that he wanted Liuli to thank Xiao Tangbao.
As a result, the patriarch of the Zheng family did not wait for the crane to be delivered to the capital. Instead, he used his connections and spent a large sum of money to buy a piece of colored glaze and had it delivered.
Little Tangbao was really surprised when he suddenly saw such a large piece of transparent glass.
In fact, this piece of glass is not that big, it is only 30 centimeters square.
But, in this era, it is already considered very large.
"Oh my! I can actually see the person opposite me!" Qian Yuemei exclaimed in surprise.
The other members of the Su family were also surprised.
They surrounded Liuli and stared at her with wide eyes.
I dare not even touch it, for fear of breaking it.
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su looked at each other.
Then, Old Man Su looked at County Magistrate Zheng.
"Brother Zheng, you should keep such a precious thing for yourself." Old man Su declined.
It's hard to tell how much this thing is worth. They can't accept such a valuable thing.
Although the two families have a good relationship and exchange gifts.
However, the Su family would naturally not accept such valuable items that transcended their relationship.
County Magistrate Zheng waved his hand, shooing away flies, and said, "I worked so hard to get this. I'm giving it to Fu Ya, not you. Don't get involved."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Tangbao with a flattering face and said, "Fuya, do you like it? This thing can be embedded in your window. In this way, the room will be very bright, and you can see outside without opening the window."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
To be honest, she likes it very much.
After all, papering the windows would greatly affect the light.
Xiao Tangbao thought for a moment and said cheerfully, "Thank you, Uncle County Magistrate."
I mean, I accepted it.
An embarrassment appeared on Old Man Su's face.
My little girl likes it and wants to accept it.
However, this thing is too valuable. What should the Su family give in return?
Little Tangbao naturally saw what his father was thinking.
"Dad, our big white goose is definitely more valuable than this piece of glass." Little Tangbao said in a soft voice, "Isn't that right, Uncle County Magistrate?"
"Yes, yes..." County Magistrate Zheng said in a series.
That’s definitely right!
Those two big white geese could probably be exchanged for many pieces of glass!
Although colored glass is valuable, it is also an object, and the emperor certainly does not want it.
The two cranes are different; they are auspicious signs that are hard to come by!
