Qin Yanjun and Qin Huixin were ten years apart. She was still a little girl when Qin Huixin divorced. She didn't have a deep relationship with Qin Huixin, but they were a family after all, and the Qin family didn't have many relatives now. Naturally, she was very fond of this eldest sister.
caring.
Jiang Miao patted the young lady's hand and said, "Don't worry, your eldest sister is very good."
Shopkeeper Qin is doing business with her, and now he is immersed in selling incense beads. Last month, he wrote a letter and asked her to send more soothing incense. He said that the ladies in the town liked it, and they would light one when sleeping.
I don't have any dreams at night.
"Um."
Qin Yanjun nodded, as long as the eldest sister lived well, they would be relieved.
Mrs. Hou went home with a sullen face. She was in such a big embarrassment today that she didn't want to go out to see anyone for a short time.
The lady who was with her parted ways with her as soon as they came out of the furniture shop, for fear of being implicated by her and becoming a laughing stock among everyone.
Her husband-in-law was right, Mrs. Hou was too petty, and even if she became the first wife, she would still not be able to take the stage. Hou Shixian was blind and neglected the generous and decent Qin Huixin, and had to support her as a concubine.
She shook her head, the Hou family would regret it sooner or later.
The lady's guess was correct. The Hou family already regretted it. Especially when Hou Shixian and Mrs. Hou heard that the young lady of the Qin family was marrying the Shen family, they were filled with regret.
"Why did the Qin family get on top of the Shen family? They are just a small businessman. Shen Annian married a lady from an official family. I'm afraid he was blind before he fell in love with Qin Yanjun!"
Mrs. Hou slammed her cane on the ground. Seeing that her original in-laws had a chance to turn over, she felt very uncomfortable and panicked.
Hou Shixian rubbed his face, "My son doesn't know that Qin Junhao of the Qin family is not a simple person. He has recently robbed a lot of the Hou family's business. Now the Qin family is married to the Shen family. I'm afraid they will join forces to deal with Hou in the future."
Home."
When something went wrong in the Qin family's main house, he kicked Qin Huixin out before her filial piety came out. This was obviously a mortal enemy.
"The Shen family is in ruins, but we can't afford to offend the eldest princess and the emperor behind them. Moreover, Princess Rongning is opening a food street. If we can participate in it, maybe the Hou family can reach a higher level!"
Hou Shixian has no ability. Qin Huixin helped with the business before, and the Hou family has a solid foundation. They and Hou Shixian after the divorce can only barely support it, but it is already rotten inside, and he has been feeling more and more powerless recently.
When I couldn't sleep at night, I would think about it, if only Hui Xin was still here.
He shouldn't have been so cruel in the first place. Qin Huixin was strong and business-savvy. Even if he didn't like her, he should have endured it for the sake of the family's business.
If he hadn't made peace at the beginning, he might still be able to follow the Qin family and become Princess Rongning now.
Madam Hou narrowed her eyes, full of calculations.
"After all, you and Mrs. Qin have a daughter, so the relationship cannot be broken. She is a widow with no power and no children. She must have had a hard time these years. Our Hou family is generous. For Yuanyuan,
, you and your wife might as well renew your relationship, the Qin family’s current family background is barely worthy of ours, and I don’t mind the Qin family’s old age.”
When Mrs. Hou walked to the door, she heard the old lady's words. She stopped and her face turned darker.
The little maid next to her looked at her fearfully, fearing that Mrs. Hou would have an attack in public.
The old lady wants to find a daughter-in-law.
"My son has no objection, but what about Xiufang?"
Xiufang is Mrs. Hou. Hou Shixian really likes her, otherwise he would not have given up a concubine to Qin Huixin and Li.
Mrs. Hou wanted to go in, but when she heard this, her ear was close to the door.
The old lady pondered for a moment, "It stands to reason that her status is low, and she is not qualified to be the wife of the Hou family. But my mother knows that you like her, so why not treat her as an equal wife, so that Qin and Xiufang can be equal?"
"Okay, then just do as mom said."
Hou Shixian readily agreed, and Mrs. Hou's complexion improved a lot. She put a smile on her face and pushed the door open.
"Mom, my husband, I don't know how my sister is doing now that she has been away from home for more than ten years. Do you want to send someone to invite her back first?"
She did a good job of showing off and looked very innocent, but Hou Shixian fell for her.
"Xiufang is right, even if you want to talk about marriage, you have to meet someone before talking about it."
After being separated from Qin for five or six years, Hou Shixian was worried that she had turned into a yellow-faced woman. He loved beauties, and he felt resentful whenever he wanted to remarry an old and yellow-faced woman.
But when you think about the future of the Hou family, this negative response is insignificant.
Hou Shixian's letter soon arrived in Furong Town. Shopkeeper Qin has been living a comfortable life recently. Jinxiu Pavilion's business is getting better and better, and she is making a lot of money. Especially Jiang Miao taught her several patterns for ready-made clothes and made them.
Her clothes are unique in Furong Town. Jinxiu Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger, and it is very famous in the town.
She has money but no worries. Shopkeeper Qin has a good attitude and looks better. She looks several years younger than before. She is wearing clothes designed by Jiang Miao. The peacock blue dress makes her skin white and beautiful.
It also has the charm of a mature woman, which is more eye-catching than a young lady.
"A letter from the capital?"
She took it from the maid's hand and raised her beautiful eyebrows, thinking it was from Jiang Miao. She opened it with a smile. Before she could read the two lines, her mouth straightened and her face suddenly darkened.
"Shopkeeper, something happened?"
The maid was frightened by her and asked her cautiously.
Shopkeeper Qin sneered, "It's okay, you can go down first."
She never expected to receive a letter from Hou Shixian after so many years. Shopkeeper Qin felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly.
"Yes, if you need anything, call me slave."
"Um."
When the maid went out, shopkeeper Qin opened the letter again. She wanted to see what Hou Shixian could say.
When they had a falling out, shopkeeper Qin hated him and the Hou family. He had thought that all the Hou family were dead these years, and now he suddenly wrote to her. This was not normal in any way.
Hou Shixian spent the whole article reminiscing about the past, telling how much he missed her, and also talked about how loving they were when they were newly married. Shopkeeper Qin read the whole article with a frown on his face, and almost vomited out the last night's meal.
No matter how much emotion they had, they had all been squandered long ago, and now all that's left is hatred.
Shopkeeper Qin patiently read for most of it, and finally on the last page, Hou Shixian mentioned Yuanyuan. She had not seen her daughter for almost five years. When she left, Yuanyuan was still a soft and glutinous dumpling. Now it is time to grow up.
She's a big girl now.
Shopkeeper Qin had tears in her eyes. Hou Shixian knew her weakness and deliberately said how much his daughter missed her. Yuanyuan's birthday was coming soon. Her mother had been absent for so many years, so the Hou family asked her if she wanted to come to the capital to celebrate her daughter's birthday.
Although she hates the Hou family, her daughter is a piece of flesh that has fallen off her body. The Hou family did not let her see Yuanyuan for the past five years, but now they invite her to a birthday party.
