Tao Ruyi's eyes swollen from crying were full of hatred.

If she had been discovered from the beginning, she would not have hated it so much.

But obviously, she was almost there, she was able to leave this small county, and go to the most prosperous imperial city, where the princes and nobles walked everywhere, it was the place that the whole world wanted to go the most, and she, too, could go to the most prosperous imperial city. Became the concubine of the prime minister's son.

That's the concubine of the prime minister's son!

That was a position she had never dared to think about in her life.

Tao Ruyi tightly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, hating her to death.

He hated Shen Qiushui for ruining his good deeds.

Without Shen Qiushui, none of this would have happened, and she would be able to sit safely in the side room.

Tao Ruyi, who was running wildly in the Tao Mansion, hated Shen Qiushui desperately in her heart, but she didn't think about it.

If there is no Shen Qiushui, there will be no such thing as a life-saving grace. Without a life-saving grace, the prime minister's son would not even look at her, the daughter of a merchant.

She maintains that her family is wealthy, and she has good friends with the county magistrate. She is one of the most noble daughters in Qingyun County. However, with such a family background, in the imperial city, she can barely be considered a small family.

Tao Ruyi subconsciously ignored these things, and only thought that she was humiliated by Xu Jinian because of that bitch Shen Qiushui!

He ran to his yard, but failed to find Lin Sheng, but bumped into his sister.

"Hey, Ruyi, didn't you go to find Mr. Xu? Why are you still in the mansion?" The one who stopped Tao Ruyi was Lin Sheng's wife, the young lady of the Tao Mansion, Tao Wanruo.

Tao Ruyi didn't expect Tao Wanruo to look at her in the most embarrassing state.

For a moment, the sockets of her eyes became redder with anger. She didn't answer the other party's question, but said: "Get out of the way!"

Simply Tao Wanruo didn't need her to answer, instead he said to himself:

"Did Mr. Xu bully you? Didn't Mr. Xu say that he would take you back to the imperial city in two days? You have to take good care of it. You also said that only someone like Mr. Xu is worthy of you, me!" good sister."

On the surface, it sounded like she cared, but in fact, only Tao Ruyi knew that Tao Wanruo was laughing at herself.

Because what Tao Wanruo said was what she had shown off in front of the other party intentionally or unintentionally.

hateful!

Tao Ruyi cursed in her heart, trying to bypass the other party, but Tao Wanruo and her maid blocked the way.

Tao Wanruo admired Tao Ruyi's embarrassment for a while.

It is not difficult to guess why the other party looks like this.

I went to look for Mr. Xu all morning, but now she appeared in the mansion crying and crying. I'm afraid that because of the Dongchuang incident, the dream of being an official's wife was shattered.

Thinking of this, Tao Wanruo laughed.Her younger sister often laughed at herself for finding Lin Sheng as her husband. Now, she can also laugh at her.

When Tao Ruyi escaped from Tao Wanruo's hand, her face was so dark that water dripped out.

She clenched her teeth tightly, and the anger in her chest couldn't help it, as if she was going to run away in the next second.

At this moment, Lin Sheng appeared in her sight.

"Brother-in-law!" Tao Ruyi hurriedly called out.

On weekdays, she called Lin Sheng by his first name, but now, she turned into a cute brother-in-law.

Lin Sheng had already stepped out of the mansion door, and when he heard the voice behind him, he subconsciously withdrew his foot and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

Seeing that it was Tao Ruyi, she frowned subconsciously.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Although Tao Ruyi's eyes were still swollen at this time, her face had returned to her usual haughty look, and all the emotions in her heart were hidden.

Lin Sheng said something casually, with a lukewarm attitude.

With a few words, Tao Ruyi invited Lin Sheng to the private room of the largest restaurant in the county.

"What do you want to say?" Lin Sheng frowned. Sitting in the restaurant, he realized that he was being led by the nose by Tao Ruyi.

"Brother-in-law, haven't you always wanted to deal with Shen Qiushui?" Tao Ruyi felt like breaking the can at this time, and when she mentioned Shen Qiushui, she gritted her teeth, "I know about you and Shen Qiushui, and it happens that I hate her too, so we How about teaming up?"

Hearing Shen Qiushui from Tao Ruyi's mouth, Lin Sheng was surprised for a moment, his brows were raised, and he didn't know how Shen Qiushui provoked her.

But someone could help silence Shen Qiushui, so he naturally wished for it.

But... wait? ?

Lin Sheng suddenly opened his eyes wide. At this moment, he remembered what Tao Ruyi said to him back then.

Originally, Lin Sheng didn't intend to find the killer at all. He only did it after hearing Tao Ruyi's words.

Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tao Ruyi was provoking him that day!

This woman wants to kill someone with a knife!

Thinking so, Lin Sheng said it directly.

He stood up abruptly, "I have nothing to say to you. Last time, if it wasn't for the county magistrate, I would have been imprisoned in the yamen. If you hadn't provoked me, how could I have attacked Shen Qiushui!"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to shake his sleeves and leave.

"Brother-in-law, wait!" Tao Ruyi quickly chased after her.

"This cooperation, I have brought a lot of sincerity. This is a 1000 tael silver bill." Tao Ruyi took out ten hundred tael silver bills and shook them in his hand.

Sure enough, it caught Lin Sheng's attention.

You must know that Lin Sheng is too short of money recently.

Last time, the county magistrate didn't help him for nothing.

It took him all his wealth, and his wife subsidized some, to fill the hole on the county magistrate's side.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Sheng took a deep breath and sat back.

"Brother-in-law, you are the most familiar with Huaishu Village, when the time comes we will be like this..." Tao Ruyi's voice suddenly dropped.

"You want to...!" Lin Sheng opened his eyes wide.

"If you do what I say, there will be no problems. The 1000 taels will be given to you. No matter how much is left in the end, it will be yours."

Lin Sheng looked at the bank note that Tao Ruyi pushed over, and his breathing suddenly became heavier.

Although he is a Juren and married to the young lady of the Tao family, Mr. Tao closely guards against him in business affairs, and the money in his hands is not much.

This 1000 taels was the first time he had touched so much money.

Tao Ruyi glanced at Lin Sheng's greedy expression with disgust, but her face was still full of smiles, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of this matter?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, this time, Shen Qiushui will definitely go and never return!" Lin Sheng grabbed the silver and stuffed it into his arms.

The two discussed a few words again, and then left from the restaurant.

-

Huaishu Village, Luo's family.

When Xu Jinian wanted to leave, he only brought his entourage, Xing Qi, and nothing else.

"I will stay in the county for a few more days, and I will go to the state in the middle of the month. If you really want to go to the state, you can go with me." Xu Jinian bid farewell to Shen Qiushui and others.

"Okay." Shen Qiushui nodded, "If I go, I will definitely find you."

She really planned to go to Zhoucheng, and she is still hesitating. If there is a guide, it will be more convenient.

"Okay, I'm leaving. During this time, you can go to the county inn if you find me."
