Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 751 The Death of Qiu Shushi

With a curious attitude, Pei Zhonghou looked at the proposal seriously.

Gradually his eyes changed from curiosity to surprise, and finally from shock to admiration.

"Siblings, are you the one who made this plan?"

"Ah."

"Now I really admire you." Pei Zhonghou looked at her and admired from the bottom of his heart, "If you follow the content of this plan, it will only take two years at most, and the reputation of Huiweilou will surely resound throughout the whole world. Great Yong Dynasty."

"Two years is too long, one year at most." Tang Huanxi smiled slightly, "Brother Pei, you don't have to worry about money matters. The Jinling Xu family will be our largest shareholder."

"The Xu family, the richest man in Jinling?"

"Well, I believe Uncle Xu's real identity, Brother Pei, you have also guessed it."

Back then, Xiao Baorui helped Xu Wanjin feign death, hiding it from Murongze's sight.

The head of the Xu family today is Xu Jiudi.

After experiencing so much right and wrong, Xu Jiudi changed a lot.

For Xu Jiudi's change, Xu Wanjin felt gratified from the bottom of his heart.

In the past two years, Tang Huanxi had also exchanged letters with Xu Jiudi from time to time, so Xu Jiudi was willing to help her.

"Well, I had doubts before, but now it suddenly becomes clear." Pei Zhonghou thought for a while and said softly, "Sister and sister, do you mean to let me appear on the bright side?"

"Well, the Xu family is feared by the royal family, so the Xu family must act cautiously." Tang Huanxi thought for a while and said in a low voice, "So the Xu family can only be the shareholder behind the scenes. The shares of Jingdu Huiwei Building are divided into three shares, 70.00% of which are held by the Xu family, and the remaining 30.00% of the shares are shared equally between you and me."

Pei Zhonghou nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, younger siblings, why don't I go to Beijing now, since it's not winter yet?"

"Well, that's fine. Brother Pei, pack your luggage first, and we'll set off together in five days,"

"Siblings are going to Kyoto too?"

"No, leave by boat from Pei County. I want Brother Pei to go to Jinling first. Then we will sit down with Sister Jiudi and talk about business."

"Alright."

At this time, Xiao Baorui entered the side hall.

After the two exchanged a few words, Pei Zhonghou took his leave.

"Why did the lady choose Brother Pei?" Xiao Baorui thought for a while, but still asked the question in his heart.

"Why, do you think Pei Zhonghou can't be trusted?"

"That's not true. It's just that a businessman values ​​profits. If someone can promise him better conditions in the future, it's hard to guarantee..." Being in a high position, Xiao Baorui now looks at people more objectively.

"Are you so unsure of yourself?"

"Where do you start with this?" Xiao Baorui frowned and asked with some doubts.

"The reason why Pei Zhonghou is willing to cooperate with me is because of you." Tang Huanxi poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and explained with a smile, "With your current status, the height you can reach in the future will make people look up to you. Pei Zhonghou is a businessman, although a businessman values ​​profits, but most of the time, what a businessman wants is recognition."

"So what did you promise, my lady?"

"I promised Brother Pei, as long as you are willing to help with all your money, in the future, as long as you become a great treasure, you will be given the title of Emperor Merchant and promise that his grandparents and grandchildren will be able to serve as officials in the court."

"This temptation is great."

"Now the Xinzhou Army in your hands is short of clothing and food, and the number is even more appalling. So if I want to draw Brother Pei to our camp, I can only use heavy medicine, not to mention that Brother Pei is an ambitious person. , so I am sure he will agree."

"Miss, you are really good." Listening to her explanation, Xiao Baorui couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"Husband, do you see if the tail behind me is up?" Tang Huanxi smiled slightly.

"Tail? Where is it?"

Listening to her joking words, Xiao Baorui knew that she had let go of what happened before.

Lady, she is always a transparent person.

The autumn wind is bleak, the moon is dark and the wind is high,
In the lifeless Qiu Mansion, only the occasional coughing of Qiu Shu could be heard.

Nanny Diao helped her up, patted her on the back lightly and comforted her softly, "Old Madam, Master Pingchuan sent a lot of medicine packs yesterday, so I'm going to decoct the medicine first?"

"Ahem...Okay."

After Nanny Diao left, Qiu Shushi closed her eyes in pain.

She still can't figure out why she has fallen to this point?

If at first——

If she hadn't tempted Nan Xiang to go to the Great Buddha Temple back then, would their lives have been different?
Thinking about it now, there is only endless regret left in Qiu Shushi's heart.

With that thought in mind, tears fell uncontrollably.

Until a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers hit, Qiu Shushi suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to meet the man's eyes that were like a pair of dark birds of prey.

"Unexpectedly, after so many years, you still wanted my life." Qiu Shushi smiled wryly, looking at the black figure shrouded in the cloak in front of him, he couldn't help but wryly smiled.

"Compared to Nanxiang, you have lived 40 years longer, so you should be content."

"Contentment? I, Shu Baolin, am too contented to be played around by you." Qiu Shu beat his chest, and the blood in his body seemed to be screaming for himself, "Han Jianming, a cruel and ruthless person like you A man deserves to be betrayed all his life."

The man in black didn't speak, but threw a black pill into her arms, "Take it, it will save me from doing it again."

"You..." Qiu Shu's eyes widened in resentment, full of unwillingness.

But under the coercion of this man, he could only close his eyes in pain, and swallowed the pill.

After seeing the dark red blood overflowing from the corner of her lips, the man in black turned around and left quickly like a gust of wind.

Nanny Diao brought over the freshly brewed soup, "Old lady—"

boom--

The bowl containing the decoction accidentally slipped and fell apart in an instant.

"Old lady? Old lady!"

When the sky was getting dark, there was a rush of knocking on the door of the Tang residence.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Baorui looked at Wu Ming with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

"General Xiao, Qiu Shushi is dead."

"Dead?" Xiao Baorui raised his brows, and asked curiously, "Didn't the doctor say that she was just poisoned? I don't think she will die for a while?"

"Qiu Shu committed suicide by taking poison."

"suicide?"

"Ah."

Xiao Baorui obviously didn't believe it, the lady and Nanny Gui had been to the Qiu Mansion once before.

According to Qiu Shu's performance that day, this person is extremely greedy for life and afraid of death, so he probably would not commit suicide by himself.

unless--

Han Jianming!
"Take me to the Qiu Mansion!"

When Xiao Baorui arrived, Qiu Pingchuan had already changed into filial piety.

And Nanny Diao, who had served Qiu Shushi for many years, was crying heartbreakingly.

"Any other discoveries?" Xiao Baorui looked at Qiu Pingchuan and asked in a low voice.

Qiu Pingchuan shook his head lightly, "Grandmother committed suicide by taking poison."
