Chapter 135 I'm Threatening You
The manuscript is not thick, Duan Shaoqing flipped through the pages, his face became more and more serious the more he looked at it, and when he saw it, he slapped the table hard and let the teacup jump up and then fall down, and the tea spilled all over the table.

Some tea splashed onto the manuscript, turning the ink into a black ball.

Duan Shaoqing's forehead was bulging with veins, his eyes fixed on Xin You: "Qingqing, what do you mean?"

This manuscript actually tells the story of an orphan girl who brought a large amount of wealth to seek refuge with her grandfather's family. In the end, she was swallowed alive by her grandfather's family, died with hatred, and her family's wealth was swallowed up.

Although the ancestor's family in the story is just a wealthy businessman, as long as this book is printed and sold by Qingsong Bookstore, anyone who reads it will think of the Shaoqing Mansion.

This girl wants to completely ruin the reputation of the Shaoqing Mansion, and even his official career!
Xin You looked at Duan Shaoqing's devouring eyes, still calm: "I just want to get back the Kou family's wealth."

Duan Shaoqing picked up the manuscript and beat it on the table: "So you use this to threaten me and the Shaoqing Mansion?"

His distraught look made Xinyou bend his lips: "Yes, I am indeed exchanging this unpublished manuscript for Qingqing's family wealth. Do you think it can be exchanged, uncle?"

"Do you think those gossips can shake the Shaoqing Mansion?"

Xinyou saw Duan Shaoqing's stubbornness, and smiled: "Uncle, do you know how many people are eagerly waiting for Mr. Songling's new book? I am the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, and I have the final say on everything. Ling's name, and let the printing house print a large number of them, within three days this story will spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital."

Duan Shaoqing trembled with anger when he heard these merciless words: "Kou Qingqing, you really have hard wings, how can there be such a wolf-hearted thing like you?"

"Wolf-hearted and dog-lung?" Xin You only felt desolate, and felt even more sad for Kou Qingqing, who had already passed away and had not yet been buried in the ground.

At this moment, she can finally say these words for Kou Qingqing: "Uncle, I forgot how Qingqing fell off the cliff? It was your daughter who did it, your wife who ordered it, and you who fought for the divorced Qiao family." Another daughter. If it wasn’t for my fate, how would it be different from the girl in this story?”

Duan Shaoqing retorted subconsciously: "Mr. Qiao has been suspended—"

Xin You sneered: "Uncle, I hope you can see clearly that Qingqing's life and death after falling off the cliff is determined by luck, not by the noble hands of these people in the Shaoqing Mansion!"

Sadly, Kou Qingqing did not have such good luck.

Having lived as Kou Qingqing for a long time, although Xin You has never met this poor girl, she developed feelings for her.

She felt pity for what happened to this girl who looked similar to her, and she was angry at the ugly faces of these relatives who should have loved this girl.

Kou Qingqing can't speak anymore, she can speak for her, tear off the fig leaf of the Shaoqing Mansion for her, ask for the money back home for her, and prevent these disgusting things from taking the property of the Kou family to suck blood for enjoyment.

Xin You looked at Duan Shaoqing, and said word by word: "So it's not Kou Qingqing who is heartless, but you have already killed that innocent and well-behaved Kou Qingqing who only knows how to love and be close to his relatives."

Her words were resounding, like ice beads hitting Duan Shaoqing's heart heavily, causing him to feel an inexplicable chill.

Duan Shaoqing has never realized so clearly for a moment: that submissive and silent niece really can't come back.

The girl in front of her has a heart as hard as iron and is good at disguising. She really hates the Shaoqing Mansion!

The murderous intent flashed from my heart.

Xinyou smiled: "I forgot to tell uncle that Mr. Kong went to Qingsong Bookstore that day."

Duan Shaoqing remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

"Young Master Kong is the son of Princess Zhaoyang, and I heard that he is still a Marquis. Young Master Kong specifically said that when the new book is released, he will buy a hundred copies."

Duan Shaoqing's expression suddenly changed.

Ordinary people's comments can't shake the foundation of Shaoqing's government, but it's different for those who are officials in the same dynasty. If those who didn't deal with him in the past use this to make trouble, he may be in trouble.

And if Princess Zhaoyang intervenes, it will be even more troublesome.

It wasn't long before Deputy Commander Han was dismissed, and many people knew about Princess Zhaoyang's protection of Miss Kou, and Duan Shaoqing naturally knew it too.

He even felt proud of it.

Duan Shaoqing wished he could slap himself.

He was really ignorant at the time!
"and also--"

As soon as Xinyou opened her mouth, Duan Shaoqing's hand trembled unconsciously.

Even there?

He stared at the calm girl to see what else she would say.

"Master He also said that he is very interested in Mr. Songling today. Mr. Songling has a new book, maybe he will read it today."

Duan Shaoqing's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said sternly, "You are deceiving the emperor!"

"Deceitful? What is uncle talking about?" Xin You looked at a loss.

Duan Shaoqing grabbed the manuscript: "You wrote this book, and you sold it in the name of Mr. Song Ling, isn't it deceiving the emperor?"

Xin You shook her head: "Uncle, are you under too much pressure, and your thoughts are a little confused? Qingsong Bookstore releases new books for everyone, and it doesn't mean that Mr. Songling specially writes them for everyone to read today. How can you talk about deceiving the king?"

Duan Shaoqing was stunned by the question.

"Besides, why can't this book be written by Mr. Songling? Who can prove that I wrote it? Shaoqing Mansion?"

Xinyou asked three times in a row, making Duan Shaoqing's forehead sweat and speechless.

This girl has made complete preparations and is determined to tear herself apart from the Shaoqing Mansion.

But what troubled Duan Shaoqing was that he had to compromise with the threat posed by this manuscript.

At least for now, I can only compromise and appease this girl first.

"Okay, okay. Qingqing, uncle really didn't expect you to be like this. You are completely different from your mother."

Xin You bent her lips: "People will change. Maybe my mother's uncle and grandmother are different from what she thinks."

The sarcasm in these words is so straightforward, Duan Shaoqing's expression is brilliant.

"Have you made up your mind, Uncle?" After a moment of silence, Xin You asked casually.

Duan Shaoqing took a deep breath and stood up: "You and I will go to see your grandmother."

"Thank you uncle for your help." Xin You smiled sweetly, and put the broken manuscript into the box.

Staring at her movements, Duan Shaoqing suddenly said: "Qingqing, uncle also has a question to ask you."

Xin You picked up the box: "Uncle, please tell me."

Duan Shaoqing was silent for a while, staring into her eyes closely: "You made a fuss about opening a bookstore, did you just think about today?"

Those cold and clear eyes curved nicely: "That's right."

She can't take one step at a time to see a hundred steps, but she can make the best use of the situation, and there are always solutions to difficulties.

Duan Shaoqing's heart was shocked by her answer, and his complexion became even worse: "Let's go to Ruyi Hall."

It was already past the lunch break, and the old lady was sitting on the kang, enjoying the handmaiden pinching her shoulders and beating her legs.

"Old lady, the elder and the cousin girl are here."
