In Guanju Palace, Qin walked in with a sullen face.

Seeing that Qin was losing her temper, the eunuchs and palace maids all became very cautious, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible to avoid being punished by their furious master.

Qin rushed to the inner room in anger. After a while, the sound of porcelain breaking was heard from the inner room. It took a full hour for the sound to stop, and then a few sobs were heard.

Qin was a typical person with lofty ambitions but a fragile life. She didn't want to admit it, but had to admit that she was very jealous of Lu Yanluo.

Qin gritted her teeth secretly and wiped away the tears on her face. She refused to admit defeat!

"Come here!" Qin called her trusted maid and whispered, "Leave the palace immediately and help me find a wealthy family with the surname Qin in the capital. If you find one, come back and report to me!"

"Yes." The palace maid didn't know what Qin was planning, so she hurried out of the palace to ask around. Fortunately, she actually found a tea merchant named Qin, who was also a royal merchant. Although he was just a merchant family, he was very wealthy.

The maid returned to the palace and reported everything she had learned to Qin. Qin was extremely satisfied and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

She naturally had a plan in mind when doing this. Although she was now named Shufei, she was the daughter of a criminal, her parents were commoners, and she was thrown into the palace as a maid since she was a child. Her family had neither power nor influence, so how could she compare to Lu Yanluo, who came from the prime minister's mansion.

And she is not stupid. The reason why Concubine Xian is trying so hard to support her is nothing more than to build up her own power in the harem. If one day she is no longer useful to Concubine Xian, then she will be a discarded pawn to be slaughtered at will.

So she had to fight for a way to survive.

At noon, Qin secretly went to the Qin family she had found yesterday in the name of leaving the palace to pray for blessings.

She had already investigated the Qin family in advance. The Qin family started out by selling tea, and now has become a well-known imperial merchant in the capital. It is no exaggeration to say that they are extremely wealthy. The head of the family is named Qin Shide, and he and his wife Lu have a daughter named Qin Xueqi.

Qin was very satisfied with this family. Although they had no power, they were rich and had a simple family structure. As long as they recognized her as their adopted daughter, the Qin family would be her backer!

At this moment, Qin Shide and his family did not know that an unexpected disaster caused by their surname was coming towards them.

At the Qin family, a man bent his waist slightly and knocked on the door of the Qin Mansion.

"Who are you?" The doorman looked at the person outside the door in confusion.

The person outside the door whispered, "Hurry up and call your master out. The Concubine Shu from the palace has arrived!"

As he spoke, the person outside the door turned sideways, and a luxurious carriage appeared.

Upon seeing this, the doorman hurried to inform the head of the household, and Qin Shide went out in a daze to greet the so-called Concubine Shu.

Qin walked into the Qin Mansion with the help of the palace maids. Along the way, there were carved beams and painted buildings, and winding streams. She felt like she was in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Everyone walked all the way to the Qin family's reception room. Qin sat at the top, looking arrogantly at Qin Shide's family who were kneeling on the ground.

"Qin Shide, I am here today to not beat around the bush with you. I want you to adopt me as your adopted daughter and include me in your Qin family's genealogy. Is this feasible?"

Qin Shide was a little confused. The dignified Concubine Shu condescended to come to his house, not for anything else, but to ask him to adopt her as his adopted daughter.

"This..." Qin Shide lowered his eyes and had a plan in mind.

The reason why he could become an imperial merchant in such a huge capital was naturally because he had wisdom and judgment far superior to others. Qin's move was undoubtedly a premeditated plan.

Moreover, including a concubine in the family tree is not a simple matter. In the future, everyone will prosper together and suffer together. Qin Shide is doing well as an imperial merchant and his life is particularly comfortable. Naturally, he does not want to get involved in the muddy water of the imperial palace.

Qin naturally saw Qin Shide's hesitation, her face looked a little bad, and she asked in a deep voice: "Why? You don't like me!"

"I dare not!" Qin Shide explained hurriedly, "I am just a merchant, my family has no power or influence, how can I be a concubine or a foster father? Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me."

Qin's patience was about to run out. With a snap, she slammed the teacup in her hand on the table and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me whether you are willing or not."

Qin Shide lowered his head and kowtowed deeply: "Please forgive me, Madam!"

The implication is rejection.

Qin laughed in anger: "Good, very good, you look down on me, and you dare to look down on me!"

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment. Come here! Surround the Qin Mansion and don't let even a fly out!" Qin was furious, staring at Qin Shide's daughter Qin Xueqi with her scarlet eyes: "Since you don't want to be my adoptive father, then you don't want your daughter anymore. Take her away from me!"

"Xueqi!" Qin Shide and his wife Lu tried their best to hold Qin Xueqi's hands, but they were outnumbered and Qin Xueqi was captured and a knife was put to her neck.

"My Queen! Please let my daughter go, she is innocent!"

Qin snorted arrogantly and said, "Let me release her. Okay. As long as you agree to take me as your adopted daughter and write my name into the Qin family tree, I will release her immediately. Not only that, I promise that I will make your Qin family a famous family in the capital!"

Seeing that Qin Shide was still hesitating, Qin raised her hand and signaled her men to teach Qin Xueqi a lesson.

"Ah! Daddy! It hurts!"

Qin Shide quickly raised his head and saw a stream of bright red blood flowing from Qin Xueqi's neck.

"Okay! I promise, I promise!" Qin Shide loved his daughter so much that he couldn't bear to see his precious daughter suffer, so he had no choice but to agree.

Qin Shide asked someone to bring the family tree, picked up the pen, and filled in Qin's maiden name.

Seeing this, Qin finally nodded with satisfaction.

Just when Qin Shide thought it was over, Qin waved her hand and said, "Execute Qin Xueqi right here on the spot. I don't want to see this person again."

"Your Majesty!" Lu knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty, your goal has been achieved. Why do you still want to kill my daughter? She has no grudge against you! Please spare my daughter!"

Qin was not moved at all when she heard this. Instead, she looked at Lu and Qin Shide indifferently: "With Qin Xueqi, you have someone to rely on, and you will not be on the same page with me. In order to eliminate future troubles and for your Qin family to cooperate with me in the future, Qin Xueqi must die today!"

This was not enough. In the desperate eyes of Qin Shide and Lu, Qin slowly said, "Imprison all the people in the Qin Mansion in the mansion. No one is allowed to leave the mansion without my order. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"

In the courtyard, Qin Xueqi died, the Qin family was imprisoned, and an innocent family was destroyed.
