Chapter 122 Collusion
After walking for a while, Liu Yingyue said, "Hongzhu, the Gao family asked your mother to do something, and your mother was not idle. She worked hard to repay the favor. I don't care about what happened today. If you do this next time, I won't want you."

She didn't like unfaithful maids.

Qin Yiran doesn't like people around him who are unfaithful.

Hongzhu's face turned pale, and she nodded in response, "Yes, Lady Ying!"

"Hongzhu." Liu Yingyue explained to her, "Which master you follow, you must obey absolutely. Always remembering the previous master is called disloyalty. You can't do two things at the same time, and the same applies to being a person. You must be wholeheartedly devoted to your master and can't share half of your heart with others."

The original owner taught her with blood and tears that the end of a person who divides his heart into two is death!
Hongzhu didn't understand these things at first, but after listening to Liu Yingyue's analysis, she understood some of them.

She responded, "I definitely won't do that next time, Madam Ying."

After Liu Yingyue's carriage left, Gao Yucheng sat in the ditch and pounded the ground in frustration, "Liu Yingyue, you are such a heartless and ungrateful woman!"

Someone came and stopped in front of him.

"Isn't this Mr. Gao? What are you doing? How did Liu Yingyue bully you?"

Gao Yucheng looked up and found that the person coming was Yang Yongcui.

His face was pale, and he got up from the ground in a panic. "What does it have to do with you?"

Gao Yucheng was in a depressed mood. He didn't even bother to brush the dirt off his robe. He just walked forward with his head hung.

Yang Yongcui looked at his dejected back and sneered in her heart, can't he bear such a small blow?

Really useless.

Yang Yongcui called out to him, "Do you want to get Liu Yingyue? I'll help you."

Gao Yucheng stopped and turned around, "You help me? How do you help me?"

Yang Yongcui walked towards him and said, "Cooperation."

Gao Yucheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Yang Yongcui who was wearing a patched dress, and sneered, "You? What ability do you have to help me? Why would you help me?"

"Good question!" Yang Yongcui clapped her hands. "Don't look down on me because I'm a young woman. I have my own way. I help you, and I'm also helping myself."

Gao Yucheng raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."

Yang Yongcui looked around.

This is an open area, and the fields and orchards around it all belong to the Qin family. Of course, they used to belong to the Gao family.

Although there was no one around, Yang Yongcui still took a few steps towards Gao Yucheng and whispered her plan.

"What? Do you dare?"

Gao Yucheng opened his eyes wide and smiled teasingly at Yang Yongcui, "I never thought that an unmarried girl would have such thoughts?"

Yang Yongcui was ashamed and angry, and sneered, "Gao Yucheng! You don't have the guts, do you? If you don't have the guts, I'll leave. Don't sit in the ditch and cry when you can't catch up with her. It's embarrassing!"

Gao Yucheng thought of the whipping he had just received from Liu Yingyue and the debt that was being chased to his house, and he made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Just wait for Qin Xiuzhu to come and find Liu Yingyue to go to the market, and then we'll act accordingly. Qin Xiuzhu, that idiot, listens to me very much, and she's impatient, so she'll act the day after tomorrow, if not tomorrow. I won't let you wait too long."

Gao Yucheng rubbed his hands happily, "Okay, then I'll go to the market street and wait for Liu Yingyue."

The afternoon after returning home from Liyuan, Qin Xiuzhu came home.

Madam Qin was very happy and asked her about the income of the market. "Now our family is not short of money, so don't work too hard. Earn as much as you can and be happy."

Qin Xiuzhu was very touched.

When the family was poor, her mother always urged her to do things quickly.

Now, her mother advises her to rest more.

But Qin Xiuzhu has now made her business successful, and Liu Yingyue's gift box business has also attracted repeat customers, as well as many customers who come here because of her reputation.

Business is much better than before.

On average, he earned several taels of silver every day. "I know, mother. By the way, I'll talk to my sister-in-law about this."

"Your sister-in-law is in the back house in the front yard. She is in charge of the farm now and arranges things there every morning." Mrs. Qin said.

The back house is on one side of the gate. The farmhands would report to Liu Yingyue first when they went out and came back every day.

Keep a record of how much work you have done.

Liu Yingyue was too busy to record everything by herself, so she asked Hongzhu to do it.

Hongzhu couldn't read, so Liu Yingyue taught her for a few days and she learned to recognize numbers.

Although he couldn't write yet, he could make marks and helped Liu Yingyue a lot.

When Qin Xiuzhu walked into the back house, she saw Liu Yingyue asking two farmhands about the weeding situation in the rice fields.

The two men expressed their ideas, Liu Yingyue took note of them, and then left.

"Sister-in-law!" Qin Xiuzhu walked over.

Liu Yingyue saw her and said with a smile, "You're back? Why did you come back so suddenly without telling anyone to come back?"

"I have something urgent to do." Qin Xiuzhu glanced at Hongzhu, "Go play outside for a while. I'll talk to my sister-in-law."

Hongzhu nodded, put down her pen, and went outside to find a shady place to enjoy the cool breeze.

Liu Yingyue poured cold tea for Qin Xiuzhu, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? And why did you send Hongzhu away?"

Qin Xiuzhu was embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of Chen Baian?"

Liu Yingyue thought, this man is your husband in the previous life, and you took great pains to pursue him.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Why are you asking about him?"

"I..." Qin Xiuzhu's face suddenly turned red.

This morning, Yang Yongcui went to the market and suddenly asked her, "They got along well with each other, so does he like her?"

If you like it, grab it quickly.

Qin Xiuzhu is an impatient person and is afraid that Chen Baian will fall in love with someone else.

She was also afraid that she and Chen Baian would like each other, but her family wouldn't like it. What should she do?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Qin Xiuzhu didn't even look at the shop anymore. She asked Liu Huaiyue to look after the shop and hurried back home in the donkey cart that her eldest brother bought for her.

She didn't dare to tell her mother right away, so she asked Liu Yingyue first.

After all, Liu Yingyue and Chen Baian knew each other.

"What do you mean? Tell me quickly." Liu Yingyue pinched Qin Xiuzhu's shoulder and laughed.

Qin Xiuzhu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I...I like Chen Baian. Sister-in-law, do you like Chen Baian?"

Liu Yingyue laughed angrily.

Qin Xiuzhu is so anxious that she is confused. How can she ask questions like that?

If other people heard it, they would probably make wild guesses.

"I like your elder brother, I don't like other men." She pursed her lips and smiled.

Qin Xiuzhu was startled, then she realized that she had said something wrong, and her face became more embarrassed, "Oh, I said the wrong thing, I meant, what do you think of Chen Baian?"

"Well, he is an upright person, hardworking and good-looking. He is a good young man." Liu Yingyue nodded.

Qin Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, I...I want to marry Chen Baian, what do you think?"

"Does Chen Baian know that you like him?" Liu Yingyue asked the important question.
