"This is really infuriating!"
The main thing is that what they said is true. They have no dowry to support them now, and the marquis's wife gives them monthly salary for their expenses, so they really have to starve to death.
She didn't dare to refute them, so she just endured their anger.
But when the young lady asked this, she couldn't help but express the grievances in her heart.
"Ping them to death, ping them to death~" Xiaobai shouted.
Qiu Shuang was feeling aggrieved at first, but when she heard the parrot say this, she almost laughed again.
Then she looked at Qin Wu with some worry, "Little Miss, don't be angry, and don't worry. I know some needlework and can embroider some flowers to sell. I will definitely not let you go hungry."
"I also secretly hid two hundred taels of silver from my dowry, which can last for a while."
Fortunately, the young lady was smart and found the thief Qi Lanxin, so they didn't have to add any extra money to the dowry.
She also saved up two hundred taels of silver at that time, so she could get through the winter.
...
...
At that time, she was afraid that she would be criticized for taking out two hundred taels. Qiufen and the other two would also ask her why she was not bolder and simply take out all the cash, and then all the blame would be put on Qi Lanxin.
They won't live without money.
She really regretted it at that time. She should have taken out all the cash from Qin Wu's private vault and let Qi Lanxin use it to supplement the Qin family's dowry.
This Qi Lanxin is so abominable. Not only did she steal her mistress's dowry, she also falsely accused her mistress of embezzlement.
The lady shouldn't have given her the antidote, letting her scratch herself to death.
Qin Wu had anticipated this.
"With just your hands, how much can you embroider in a day? Can you support so many people?" Qin Wu teased, "Besides me, there is also Xiao Nuonuo. If you rely on your hands to support us, wouldn't I be heartbroken?"
Qiu Shuang's high morale suddenly waned, she drooped her face, tears rolling in her eyes.
Without the protection of the Qin family, let alone how the Qi family would treat her, those people outside would also take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Her future would be extremely difficult.
She couldn't understand why the young lady had to break off the relationship with the Qin family, but she must have her reasons for doing so, and she would not question it.
"When I come back from Qin's house tomorrow, I'll take you to a place." Qin Wu took the ointment from the bedside, took a little, stood up and applied the ointment to the wound on Qiu Shuang's jaw, who looked depressed.
"We won't starve to death, and I'm rich."
"I won't treat you unfairly. If you follow me, you will have a good life."
"Really? Is it true?" Qiu Shuang's eyes suddenly brightened like shining little stars.
It doesn’t matter even if the young lady lied to her. The young lady is so smart and capable, she will definitely find a way to overcome the danger.
"Where are you cooking now?" Qin Wu asked.
"We moved a side room in our yard to be used as a kitchen." Qiu Shuang said, "Young Master Yan brought the stove that Lidong and Dongzhi prepared, Bailu and Hanshuang bought the pots, and Qiufen bought the vegetables. I cooked for everyone..."
Since there is a small kitchen in the yard, there is no need to go to the big kitchen to serve meals, and there is no need to consider their faces. They can eat whatever they want.
"We have already eaten. The food is hot in the kitchen. Miss can eat whenever she wants."
"You guys really make me worry less."
Qin Wu didn't make a mistake in recruiting so many people. If Qiu Shuang was the only good Nanny Li, Qiu Shuang would be helpless and cry to death.
"I'm hungry, bring the food." Qin Wu added, "Next time someone in the mansion bullies you, just fight back. If you can't beat them, come to me, don't bear it."
There's no need.
In the past, because she loved Qi Xiuzhe, she didn't want to cause trouble in the mansion and make him upset, so she followed the rules and tried to be tolerant.
Even if Wang deliberately made things difficult for her, she would endure it.
The servants in the mansion bullied Qiu Shuang, but as long as they didn't hit her, she just let Qiu Shuang bear with it.
But now that she doesn't love anymore, she will not suffer any more and make the people around her suffer as well.
"Okay, I'll bring the meal to the young lady right away." Qiu Shuang hurried to serve the meal.
Yan Shiyi also walked in.
Covered in snow and wind, Yan Shiyi stood at the door, shook off the coldness, and then stepped forward.
"Have you eaten?" Qin Wu asked.
"If sister needs me to eat with you, then I didn't eat." Yan Shiyi's eyes were full of meaning.
"Then let's eat together." Qin Wu poured him a glass of warm water, "Drink some hot water to warm your body first."
After finishing a glass of water, Yan Shiyi took out the letter from his body and said, "This is the background letter you asked me to investigate before Qin Yinnuan came back."
"So fast!" Qin Wu took the letter from his hand, a look of shock on her face.
She had asked him to investigate only yesterday.
"Of course I will take my sister's matter to heart and get it done for you as soon as possible."
"Well done." Qin Wu praised him.
Qin Yinnuan immediately opened the letter and read it.
Qin Yinnuan grew up in a village on the border of southern Xinjiang, but was captured and sent to visit southern Xinjiang when she was ten years old.
The fifteen-year-old Prince of Nanjiang took a fancy to her and asked her to stay with him as a maid.
Qin Yinnuan did not have an easy time with the Prince of Southern Xinjiang and almost died at his hands several times.
For some unknown reason, Qin Yinnuan later escaped from southern Xinjiang and came to the door.
Because Qin Yinnuan's face was carved out of the same mold as that of Prime Minister Qin's wife, and she also had a half jade pendant left to her by Prime Minister Qin's wife as a token of trust, the Qin family had no doubt that she was the real daughter of the Qin family who was abducted by political enemies.
Because Yan Shiyi knew about the events of his previous life, he had already investigated Qin Yinnuan, but in his previous life, he always thought that the person he was looking for was Qin Yinnuan.
That's why Qin Wu died so miserably.
He was filled with guilt...
Now, having the chance to start over again, he would protect her well and not let her suffer the same harm as in her previous life.
Qin Wu finished reading Qin Yinnuan's identity investigation.
When Qin Yinnuan came back, she just said that she grew up in Mohe Village on the border. The person who adopted her died of illness and then told her about her life story. Only then did she return to the Qin family.
He did not mention that he had ever been to southern Xinjiang.
So, she had already come into contact with people from southern Xinjiang.
She belongs to the Prince of Southern Xinjiang and is a spy from Southern Xinjiang!
Now it all makes sense.
But even if she found out these things, it would not cause any substantial harm to Qin Yinnuan, and would even alert the enemy.
After all, Da Zhou was her country, and she didn't want to see the people of Da Zhou suffer.
But there was no solid evidence to prove that Qin Yinnuan was a spy, so even if she told the emperor, he would not believe her.
After all, Qin Yinnuan is now the most favored daughter of the Qin family.
He once almost died because of Qin Xiang's abduction.
As long as she says a word, the Qin family will go through fire and water for her.
Nothing can be rushed, she can only take it slow.
Moreover, if Qin Yinnuan married into the Qi family, she would have the opportunity to extract information about her world from her.
After all, those strange things she mentioned were things she had actually talked about and studied in her previous life.
But she had never seen it until her death, so she was curious if she could make this thing?
If she can do it, can she get others to do it too?
Especially the powerful weapons she mentioned!
If we had this kind of weapon, conquering the world and unifying the country might really be very easy.
She put the letter away.
Qin Wu asked Yan Shiyi, "Do you know the name of this Southern Xinjiang prince? What kind of person is he?"
