Chapter 44: Chapter 46 Evil Disciple Deceives Master Chapter 44: Chapter 46 Evil Disciple Deceives Master Mrs. Wang looked deeply at Qin Liuxi.
“You’re absolutely right. Moreover, the Qin family is in decline, with only women and children left at home. It is also to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Qin Liuxi stopped talking. Being born into a noble family, if she didn’t even understand this much, then the reputation of a prestigious family would be in vain.
Mrs. Wang continued, “Actually, your grandmother also thought about visiting the temple master at Qingping Temple. It’s just that she has been delayed recently due to her health.”
Qin Liuxi said, “The temple master has been away recently. Even if she went, I’m afraid she would not be able to see him.”
Qi Huang, standing at the doorway, glanced at her and then lowered his eyes, apparently telling lies with his eyes wide open.
Qin Liuxi didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty or timid. With her health being poor, why bother with such folly? Given the current situation, hoping for an immediate turnaround was impossible.
“By the way, what did you call me here for?”
Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and said, “Here’s the thing. During the confiscation, all male members above the age of twelve were listed for exile…”
“Are you worried about my second brother?” Qin Liuxi took a glance at her expression and said, “Don’t worry. It’s inevitable that my second brother suffers on the road to exile—even possibly… But rest assured, with the aid of a noble person, he will surely turn peril into safety and arrive safely.”
Mrs. Wang’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Qin Liuxi, her lips trembling, “Do you, do you know something?”
Could this child have entered the Dao and learned to predict fortunes and disasters from her master?
“No need to know, a guess will suffice. This incident was sudden. He was a well-tended young master who suddenly faced a great calamity. At such a young age, being exiled with his father and brothers, how could he not suffer?” Qin Liuxi said, “As for the help of a noble person, it was something Master divined.”
For the second time, she used Master Chi Yuan as a shield.
Master Chi Yuan, who was meditating in the main hall of Qingping Temple, touched his slightly warm ears and unceremoniously rubbed his nose.
That evil disciple was definitely deceiving her master.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt overjoyed and couldn’t help but grab Qin Liuxi’s hand, “Is it truly what the temple master said?”
Qin Liuxi looked at the woman’s hands that had obviously become rougher in just a few days and nodded.
Tears welled up in Mrs. Wang’s eyes as she said, “That’s good.”
She slightly turned her head and wiped her eyes, “Let’s not talk about this. As for what we were discussing earlier, currently in our family, what’s left are powerless women and children. Although when leaving the capital, our relatives secretly gave us some silver, with so many people the resources will quickly run out. I was thinking, should we buy about ten acres of good land to rent out? We could register it under Li Dagui’s name. In one aspect, it won’t attract attention; on the other, the rent we collect can cover the family’s food expenses, so we don’t have to constantly spend silver. So I wanted to ask you, what do you think of Li Dagui? Can he be trusted?”
“The Li family, all are loyal servants.”
Qin Liuxi affirmed the Li family’s character with just eight words.
Mrs. Wang understood and said, “Then let’s proceed with that. As for other incomes, we plan to work on some needlework and send it to embroidery workshops and grocery stores for consignment sale. The monthly salary, also give it to them, they need to have some money in hand to feel secure.”
Qin Liuxi had little patience for such matters, “You and the Old Lady decide.”
She looked up at Aunt Wan, who was wearing coarse clothes and busy with needlework, and then looked at Qin Mingchun also dressed in coarse clothes, thinking that if they wore nicer clothes, they would be much more pleasing to the eye.
“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave,” Qin Liuxi said, standing up to say goodbye.
Qin Liuxi bowed and also offered respects to Aunt Wan before walking up to Qin Mingchun. Seeing the youngster stiffen, she said, “Although one can live off their looks, what if they become faulty? Therefore, it’s still necessary to learn some skills. If your handwriting is still when I return from outside, I will beat you!”
Wuwuwu, is this really my own sister?
