He was murdered after his family was wiped out and left with no descendants; his whole family knelt

Chapter 65 Zhuangzi

Late Autumn frowned and said,

"Young lady, you're quite the schemer! By having Chunfen put this peach fuzz in our young lady's tea, she's definitely not going to the Xiao family's banquet!"

Qiao Qingshu shook her head and smiled faintly.

"I thought she had some great skills, but it turns out she only has these little tricks."

He then asked Liu Wan'er in detail if she had any other actions to take during the Spring Equinox.

After pausing for a moment, Chunfen recounted how she had met Zhou's mother in the courtyard.

Spring Equinox scratched his head and said,

"Mother Zhou was probably going out to buy something. Her purse was bulging, and she looked panicked for some reason."

The maids behind Qiao Qingshu didn't take it seriously, but Qiao Qingshu's brows furrowed slowly.

Qiao Qingshu knew very well who Zhou Mama was. She was the only personal servant of the Xu family mother and daughter, so if she was sent out to buy something important, it must be something important.

Qiao Qingshu raised her eyebrows slightly, reached out and called Wanqiu over to whisper a few words to her. Wanqiu hurriedly ran out.

After dismissing everyone else from the room, Qiao Qingshu helped Chunfen up and said softly,

"You did well on the Spring Equinox. I promised you that you would come with me to the Xiao residence as a guest, and the day is almost here. You should get some new clothes made."

Spring Equinox's face lit up with surprise, and she happily withdrew.

Qiao Qingshu had already promised that if she behaved well on the Spring Equinox, he would take her to the banquet at the Xiao residence.

Late Autumn, Summer Solstice, and Winter Solstice were all vying to go with Qiao Qingshu to see the excitement, but Qiao Qingshu refused them all, only allowing Spring Equinox to go along.

Even during the Spring Equinox, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but turn up, and they lingered there for a long time.

She thought to herself, "Liu Wan'er, don't blame me for selling you out. It's just that the young lady's offer was too tempting."

Chunfen knew that there were many unmarried young men in the Xiao family, and that there were also many aristocratic men among the guests.

She's already quite beautiful, and if she dresses up nicely and attractively, it's not impossible for her to find a good marriage partner.

And...and...

Spring Equinox blushed involuntarily, her thoughts drifting back to two years ago...

At that time, Xiao Chengyan came to the Qiao residence as a guest. He was on duty on the Spring Equinox and served Qiao Qingshu.

After Qiao Qingshu was called away by the old lady, Xiao Chengyan held Chunfen's hand and kissed and touched it, saying that he liked her and wanted to marry her.

I blushed bright red during the Spring Equinox and ran away like a rabbit in fright.

Looking back, she was filled with regret. What an honor it was to be chosen by Young Master Xiao! Why did she run away back then?

After that, she stopped avoiding Xiao Chengyan during the spring equinoxes, but she never managed to get another chance to be alone with him.

Xiao Chengyan, having set his sights on a new target, Liu Wan'er, had long forgotten about the Spring Equinox.

I'm still thinking about the Spring Equinox...

It's been two years, and I'm still thinking about it.

Chunfen happily planned that if she dressed brightly and stood next to Qiao Qingshu at the Xiao family banquet, Xiao Chengyan might remember her again. If she could then seduce the Second Master Xiao and accompany him as part of her dowry, she might even be able to become a concubine.

Thinking of this, Chunfen couldn't help but smile, feeling that she was really clever.

But Qiao Qingshu did not miss her smug expression.

When the other three maids learned that Qiao Qingshu only planned to bring Chunfen to the banquet, they were all a little upset.

Xia Zhi had hoped to go to the Xiao residence for a free meal, and perhaps even slip some food into her pocket to bring back.

Lin Dong was worried that she might not be able to take good care of Chun Fen, since Chun Fen was the most attentive and meticulous person in the whole house.

Wanqiu was thinking that if she could go with them, she could go out and buy some rouge. She had been wanting to buy peach blossom cream from Manxiangzhai for half a month.

Late Autumn stepped forward, pouting and acting coquettishly.

"The eldest daughter is biased. Any one of the three of us would be better than Chunfen. Let me go instead, eldest daughter."

Qiao Qingshu sat in front of the dressing table, selecting jewelry, a faint smile on her face.

"You all shouldn't compete with any of them; this trip is definitely for the Spring Equinox."

Qiao Qingshu clearly remembered that in her previous life, these four maids all accompanied her to the Xiao family as part of her dowry.

Of the three who were perfectly well-behaved, only Chunfen took the initiative to climb into Xiao Chengyan's bed and become his concubine.

She would always remember the day she was made a concubine, and the smug and provocative look on her face when she toasted Qiao Qingshu on the Spring Equinox.

Years of pretense have been torn away, revealing an arrogant and smug demeanor.

Later, relying on his years of experience serving Qiao Qingshu, he deliberately targeted Qiao Qingshu's weaknesses to trip her up. After enduring it several times, Qiao Qingshu severely punished Chunfen.

But the Spring Equinox showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, it became even more unrestrained.

In her previous life, Qiao Qingshu had spent a great deal of energy dealing with these concubines who were not presentable.

In this life, I will definitely take advantage of the Xiao family banquet to deal with Chunfen, that traitor!

Late Autumn and Summer Solstice stomped their feet and shouted,

"The eldest daughter is biased! So biased!"

Qiao Qingshu held up a gold filigree coral and jade ruyi hairpin and murmured with a smile.

"You three really shouldn't be angry. In some ways, you really can't compare to Chunfen."

For example, climbing into someone's bed, betraying one's master, or seducing men.

When Zhou's mother returned home after dark, she handed the groceries she had purchased to Liu Wan'er.

It's half a pound of paraquat.

The vendor claimed that just a tiny amount could render hundreds of acres of fertile land barren...

Mrs. Zhou asked with a worried frown,

“Young lady, we have no land, what are we buying this for? This is no good thing! What are you planning to do, young lady? This old servant is truly worried…”

Liu Wan'er replied with a faint smile.

"Mom, don't ask any more questions. Just rest well today. We'll be leaving before dawn tomorrow."

Zhou's mother wanted to ask what made her get up so early, but Liu Wan'er told her to go back and rest early.

Tomorrow is the Xiao family banquet.

Liu Wan'er sat at the table and took out a light yellow embroidered cloud brocade skirt that she had painstakingly sewn over half a month from the bottom of the box.

She buried her face in the brocade, her eyes filled with hope, waiting for tomorrow.

Her fate will be rewritten from this moment on!

She will be freed from her current situation of being manipulated by others and will be truly reborn.

As she fell asleep embracing the gorgeous clothes, Liu Wan'er had an extremely beautiful and splendid dream.

In her dream, she became Xiao Chengyan's rightful wife.

She became the respected matriarch of the Xiao family.

Xiao Chengyan looked at her with loving eyes and said to her,

"Wan'er, I will only love you in this life and never take a concubine."

Liu Wan'er was filled with sweetness, so happy she was almost dizzy.

When she woke up excitedly, it was already dawn.
