Lin knew that Wang Qiang doted on Concubine Wang, so even though Wang Qiang provoked her, Lin would always avoid him. Therefore, even though she was the legal wife, she was quite polite to Concubine Wang.
Aunt Wang was already used to it; in the past, Madam Lin had almost never sent anyone to look for her.
Aunt Wang felt a little uneasy when she came to see her at this time.
"Is there anything you wish to say, Madam?"
Shiyin smiled and said, "Madam asked me to bring a few scriptures to Aunt Wang. Master has been in a bad mood these past few days, so Aunt Wang copying a few more scriptures is a way of praying for the Wang family. Also, Madam said that Aunt Wang should not leave this courtyard until these scriptures are finished. Our Madam will take good care of the young master, so please don't worry, Aunt Wang!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, but was supported by the maid beside her so she didn't fall. She said in disbelief, "Impossible, Master wouldn't have allowed Madam to do that."
Shiyin added, "Don't worry, Aunt Wang. Madam only asked you to copy the scriptures because of Master's instructions. Master said he hopes you can calm your mind recently. These Buddhist scriptures are good things. Copying them more will naturally calm your mind. Aunt Wang, I've put all the books away. You must put them down carefully."
Seeing Aunt Wang's discomposure, Shi Yin felt quite relieved. As the head maidservant of the Madam, she was less respected than a third-class maidservant of Aunt Wang in the mansion. Seeing Aunt Wang like this was indeed satisfying.
"Please don't be too touched, Aunt Wang. Master and Madam are only doing this for your own good. I won't disturb you any longer as you copy the scriptures. I'll take my leave now."
Shiyin left, and then Aunt Wang's vision went black, and she fainted completely.
Her maids and servants immediately started shouting.
"My aunt has fainted. Quickly, go and fetch a doctor."
Madam Lin also knew that Aunt Wang had fainted, but she did not organize Aunt Wang's people to call a doctor. However, this time the doctor arrived exceptionally slowly. Aunt Wang was carried to the bedroom by the maids and had already woken up by pressing her philtrum before the doctor slowly arrived.
When Aunt Wang woke up and saw the doctor's diagnosis that she was suffering from a heart attack, she couldn't help but lose her temper.
"Get out of here, all of you, get out..."
The doctor was also accidentally injured and eventually left "wounded".
Madam Lin naturally kept a close eye on Aunt Wang's every move, and she was happy when she saw her doing badly.
Lin was truly surprised that a merchant's daughter didn't have such abilities. With such methods, she would surely become a capable person in the future.
Since Lin wanted to cooperate, she naturally investigated Qiu Wen's evil background thoroughly. This was not difficult, but after finding out the details, Lin felt a bit of sympathy for Qiu Wen.
She was also a mother, with only one daughter. She never expected that Qiu Wen, as the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, would be treated like this. Not to mention that her biological mother was still alive, Lin felt a bit of sympathy for Qiu Wen after finding out.
"Shiyin, go to Wensi Bookstore and find their owner. Tell her that we owe her a lot for this incident, and that I'll treat her to a meal once things are over."
Shiyin naturally knew Qiu Wen and was quite grateful to her. If it weren't for her mistress, their lady wouldn't have been able to find a way to bring down Aunt Wang so quickly.
"Yes, this servant will go to Wensi Bookstore right away."
At Wensi Bookstore, Qiu Wen was quite happy to see that no one would come to cause trouble anymore. However, her happiness didn't last long before she started thinking about some things.
When she first opened her bookstore, she thought that as long as she could attract people, that would be enough. However, she didn't expect that she not only had ideas but also the ability to turn them into reality. In the end, she almost couldn't resist the covetousness of powerful people, which made Qiu Wen think a lot.
Qiu Wen had already made up her mind. Once this matter was over, she would find a backer for Wensi Bookstore, even if it meant earning less money. She was afraid that someone with the ability to do business might not have the life to spend the money they earned through their own hard work!
Qiu Wen had even chosen a candidate: Wang Shu, the daughter of the prefect's wife, Madam Lin.
Qiu Wen had her reasons for not choosing the Prefect's wife. It wasn't that the Prefect's wife was bad; she just knew that the Prefect's wife doted on her only daughter like the apple of her eye. So she thought of giving Wang Shu 20% of the profits from Wensi Bookstore. This way, the Prefect's wife would see her sincerity, and she wouldn't worry that the Prefect's wife wouldn't take good care of the shop.
Just as Qiu Wen had finished thinking, Luo Xue said, "Miss, Shi Yin, the lady from the Prefect's wife's side, has arrived."
Qiu Wen said, "Quickly let her in to talk."
"yes"
"Miss Shion, our young lady invites you in to speak with her."
"Thank you for conveying the message, Miss Snow."
"You're too kind, Miss Shion."
Shiyin walked into Qiu Wen's room and said, "Greetings, Miss Qiu."
"Miss Shiyin, you're too kind. Did you come here today because Madam has something to tell me?"
Shiyin smiled and said, "That's right. Madam sent me over with a lot of things for the young ladies. Madam also said that once this storm has passed, she would like to invite the young ladies out for a get-together."
Qiu Wen had originally planned to get on the Lin family's good side, and now it seems she's really lucky; she gets whatever she wants.
Qiu Wen smiled and said, "Madam, you're too kind. I'll definitely go then."
Qiu Wen spoke a few more words with Shi Yin before seeing her off.
After Shiyin left, Luoxue smiled and said, "Miss, are you in a good mood?"
Qiu Wen nodded and said, "Yes, if we can reach an agreement with the prefect's wife, our shop will have someone to protect it in the future."
Luo Xue had watched her mistress get to where she was today step by step, and the hardships she had endured were beyond what outsiders could understand. She knew perfectly well that just as the bookstore was getting on the right track, Wang Hailin appeared. Otherwise, if her mistress had been smart, all that hard work might have become easy prey for others.
