They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 248 Dealing with them one by one

Qin Xiuhe was so angry that she lost her mind—besides, she didn't have much of a mind to begin with.

Shuangfu stamped his foot and hurriedly went to call for help.

It was her dereliction of duty; she didn't even know to call more people at once.

Unexpectedly, Madam Qin arrived faster than Shuangfu. Upon seeing the scene, she felt a wave of dizziness and cried out, "Stop! Stop it, all of you!"

The servants of the Qin family instinctively stopped what they were doing.

Xu Zhichun and his group had not come here to fight, so they did not take advantage of the moment when the other side stopped to launch a counterattack and vent their anger. They all stopped as if by agreement.

Xu Zhichun felt a slight regret: He hadn't finished performing yet; even the little Chunfen hadn't left the stage.
She originally intended to reason with them, but unexpectedly, the person who was reasonable was not there, and she ran into an unreasonable person who was making trouble. Since she had already started making a scene, she might as well make it bigger and bigger.

The bigger the commotion, the more influence they will have when facing Master Qin and Madam Qin.

This state of being stuck in limbo makes it difficult to find a sufficient reason to lash out.

Qin Xiuhe stiffened slightly, and subconsciously glanced behind Madam Qin. Not seeing her eldest brother, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is sister-in-law here?"

Madam Qin was trembling with anger and was about to speak when Shuangfu hurriedly returned with seven or eight male and female servants.

She was loyal and eager to help her master. Without even looking, she closed her eyes and shouted, "Go in and arrest them! Take down all those troublemakers!"

"Shut up!"

Madam Qin's stern shout startled them all. Shuangfu's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Qin Xiuhe in fear.

"Alright, Shuangfu," Qin Xiuhe gestured for her to come to her side as if nothing had happened, and gave Madam Qin a slight cold smile: "Sister-in-law, you've come at the right time. These few wretches barged in and insulted and extorted me for no reason. I was so angry that I argued with them, but they got angry when their threats failed and even tried to hit me. Of course, I couldn't let them succeed. If I didn't call the servants, would I have fought them myself? It seems that you're not managing this household very well, and a few random people dare to run wild in the Qin family."

"It's good that you're here, sister-in-law. Please help me with this matter."

Madam Qin took a deep breath and sneered, "That's strange. Before you came back, everything in our family was fine and nothing happened. But as soon as you arrived, all sorts of strange things started happening."

"What do you mean, sister-in-law? Are you looking down on me? Do you think I shouldn't have come back? This is my home too! This is where I grew up, the home my parents gave me. By all accounts, you're the outsider. What right do you have to look down on me? My brother has never said a harsh word to me. What right do you have to do this!"

Madam Qin said coldly, "You don't need to hold this against me. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to fetch your brother. When he comes back, you can say whatever you want to him again. Madam Xu,"

Madam Qin took a deep breath, stepped forward, and curtsied to Xu Zhichun: "I'm so sorry, I've made you feel wronged and embarrassed."

The family is unfortunate!
"Madam Qin, please don't," Xu Zhichun quickly stepped aside and helped Madam Qin up, smiling wryly, "We are the ones who have made a fool of ourselves in front of you, Madam Qin. We are truly sorry for today, please don't take offense. We originally came to see Madam Qin and Master Qin, but who knew—"

"Shut up! You just want to find my brother to twist the truth and accuse me, right? Dream on!"

Madam Qin: "I understand. I don't blame you, Madam Xu. Please, Madam Xu, find another place to rest. Our Qin family will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."

"Thank you, Madam Qin."

"Granny Xi, take Madam Xu and the others to rest. Treat them well and do not neglect them."

"Yes, Madam. Madam Xu, everyone, please follow this old servant."

"Thank you, mama."

The two sides engaged in a harmonious and friendly exchange, tacitly ignoring Qin Xiuhe.

Qin Xiuhe was furious. "Don't you dare leave! You—"

Madam Qin shouted, "Hold back the young lady!" "Let go of me!" Qin Xiuhe struggled, both shocked and angry, glaring venomously at Madam Qin: "If you dare touch me, I won't let you get away with this when my brother comes back."

Madam Qin's eyes were icy. "Fine, then we'll wait for Master to return."

This time, she won't let her off the hook.

She'd had enough.

Granny Xi led Xu Zhichun, Liang Lizheng, and others to the reception hall. Servants served tea and snacks, and she personally handed the tea to Xu Zhichun, saying, "Madam Xu, please have some tea."

Offering tea can also imply apology.

Xu Zhichun accepted it with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Granny."

"Madam Xu and the others can rest here. Our master will be back soon."

"Yes, Granny, you can go about your business now."

"Yes, the maids are serving outside the door. If Madam Xu needs anything, just call them."

"it is good."

Granny Xi was worried about her mistress, after all, she knew how difficult her aunt was. Secondly, if she stayed, Xu Zhichun and the others would be wary and wouldn't be able to truly relax and rest, so it was better for her to leave first.

As soon as Granny Xi left, Liang Mingliang craned his neck to look outside. The two maids who were at his beck and call were not standing guard at the door, but at the bottom of the steps. He felt relieved and whispered, "Zhichun, Father, what should we do now? Shouldn't we discuss this?"

Liang Li rubbed his temples wearily. "Rest now. I think that Madam Qin is reasonable. She should be fine in a bit."

Madam Qin sent them away, partly to entertain them, and partly because she believed that family scandals should not be aired in public. Perhaps the Qin family would have already figured out the whole story without them having to say anything.

If Mr. and Mrs. Qin didn't even have this much ability, they wouldn't have been able to build such a large fortune.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, Master Qin and Madam Qin arrived. Qin Xiuhe was nowhere to be seen. The steward Zhang, who had been so arrogant and haughty in front of them, was brought in with his hands tied behind his back by two servants. He looked disheveled and dejected.
The matter was resolved smoothly. Master Qin apologized politely and offered to cover Xiaoman's medical expenses and compensate her with twenty taels of silver. He also said that Xiaoman could return to work at the shop after she recovered, and he would have the accountant personally take care of her.

In short, Master Qin showed his utmost sincerity.

Liang, the village head, only asked for the medical expenses and demanded that Master Qin reveal the truth of the matter at the dock. He couldn't let his son suffer the injustice and stigma. He refused the twenty taels of silver.

He didn't immediately agree to the promising future that Master Qin had promised Xiaoman, but instead subtly indicated that he would go back and ask Xiaoman for her opinion.

Master Qin repeatedly agreed.

After seeing Xu Zhichun and his party off, Master Qin sighed deeply. This Liang village head was quite a character; if he hadn't been born and raised in the countryside and hadn't had his talents wasted, he would definitely have achieved something. What a pity.

However, his son must be just as good.

Master Qin instructed Steward Qin to inform Liang Xiaoman when he arrived so that he could meet him personally. If Liang Xiaoman was someone worth cultivating, he would not mind putting in some effort.

Master Qin was very confident that Liang Xiaoman would definitely come back—who could refuse such a promising future? Especially a young person.

Young people are capable of anything given the chance.

Butler Qin hurriedly agreed.

Master Qin sneered: "Now, it's time to deal with our own people!"
