It was already the next day when Mrs. Qin slowly woke up.
"Help me up, Huier." Mrs. Qin called her maid.
"Okay, ma'am." Hui'er stepped forward and helped Madam Qin up.
"What time is it?" Mrs. Qin looked at the sky which was still dark.
"Madam, it is now the hour of Hai on the second day, and the sky is still bright," Hui'er replied.
"Where is that evil son?" Mrs. Qin was really angry with Qin Guangzu. She had let him do whatever he wanted before because he was just making a fuss. She had never expected that this time he would lose all his fortune, including his properties and land. How could she face his dead father now?
"Madam, the young master hasn't woken up since he came back. The servant just came to report that the young master has woken up, but he vomited a mouthful of black blood as soon as he woke up. I guess the young master is also very angry." Hui'er gently comforted Madam Qin.
"This evil son, does he even know how to be angry?" Mrs. Qin said angrily, but then she thought, forget it, after all, he is her beloved child.
"Master, how much did you lose? Did you lose everything?" Mrs. Qin confirmed the amount again.
Hui Er nodded, sweating profusely. "Yes, the man from the gambling house said that the young master had mortgaged everything he had."
Madam Qin was so angry that she almost fainted again, but Hui'er supported her the next second, "Madam!"
"So, the He family wants us to cancel the engagement, right? Let the He family find a way to get those things back." Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and spoke.
Hui Er was a little worried. "I heard that the He family isn't very wealthy. Can they afford so many things?"
"Things are different now. Didn't He Tuyuan become the top scholar? As long as he has power, many people would want to curry favor with him. I think the He family must have better ways than us." Mrs. Qin raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Madam, why don't we ask the Du family for help? After all, the young master is their future son-in-law." Huier suggested.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Du family hasn't gotten married yet, so it's not a certainty. And do you really think the Du family wants to fulfill their original promise? If that were the case, they wouldn't have let the He family come. In the final analysis, it's because you want to save face but don't want to be the bad guy, so you let the He family be the bad guy." Mrs. Qin said coldly.
Hui Er nodded when she heard this and said, "Madam, the Du family is unwilling to marry into our family, so what should we do?"
"What else can we do? We just need to think of a way to let the He family help us get back the property that belongs to us. After that, we can use some tricks to make sure that the He family has no evidence to produce. So what if he is the top scholar? Can he still bully others by taking advantage of his power?" Mrs. Qin smiled sinisterly.
"But the Du family is willing to make friends with the He family. Can she still marry our young master?" Hui'er said a little worriedly.
"No matter whether he did it intentionally or not, no one can regret the marriage arranged by our master. No matter whether Du Yinye has been secretly having an affair with He Tuyuan, I will definitely teach her a lesson after I marry her!" Mrs. Qin said gritting her teeth.
Hui'er couldn't help but shiver.
"Hui'er, do you have a way to make someone sign but have the signature disappear afterwards?" asked Mrs. Qin.
"About this, I don't know. However, I remembered that there was once someone in the countryside pretending to help others exorcise ghosts. He wrote runes on talisman paper, and finally pretended that the ghost had been eliminated because the words on the talisman paper disappeared. Many people believed it. Later, I asked around and found out that it was someone who had tampered with the ink." Hui'er answered that she didn't know at first, but then she suddenly recalled the past.
"Okay, then we'll do as you say. When the time comes, you can prepare this ink, and we'll use it to sign a contract with the He family." Mrs. Qin laughed heartily.
"Okay, I'll prepare it later. Are we inviting the He family today?" Hui'er asked.
"Of course today, the earlier the better." Mrs. Qin said.
"Okay, I'll ask the servant to invite the He family over later." Hui'er said and went downstairs.
Tianqing, who overheard everything, went back and told Gu Beijian.
Gu Beijian nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, go back and keep watch."
Tianqing obeyed the order.
The He family received news that the Qin family agreed to cancel the engagement, but they needed to discuss the conditions with Mrs. Qin.
The He family was overjoyed. They didn't expect Yi Yami to give in so quickly. They didn't know what means she used.
He Tuyuan was particularly happy, and He Heihu also looked at his son with satisfaction. Then the two of them got on the carriage and prepared to go to the Qin family.
When Yi Yami heard Gu Beijian say that Mrs. Qin had a backup plan and heard the whole conspiracy process, Yi Yami started thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.
Yi Yami took Gu Beijian to the Qin family's home and happened to meet the He family.
"Cousin, uncle, I heard that the Qin family has given in, but I feel something is fishy and I'm worried about you, so I followed you here." Yi Yami spoke first.
He Tuyuan and He Heihu frowned slightly when they heard this.
"What should we do then?" He Heihu asked.
"It's okay, just talk. I think Mrs. Qin is just playing some tricks somewhere else. Abei and I are here, so it's okay, don't worry." Yiyami comforted the two of them.
Gu Beijian also nodded at them.
The He family felt relieved and walked a few steps. When the Qin family's doorman saw the He family coming, he quickly welcomed them in.
"He is so attentive, he must be a traitor or a thief." Yi Yami whispered to Gu Beijian.
Gu Beijian nodded, "That's right!"
When Mrs. Qin learned that the He family had arrived, she lamented that the He family really wanted to marry Du Yinye. They came too quickly. Hui'er had not even prepared the ink, so Mrs. Qin had to talk to them first.
