"He dares to come again..."
Jin Shanyao the blue brick to the ground, then stood up and strode aggressively into the shop.
Inside the shop, Zhen Shiqing and Meng Anzhi were staring at each other.
Zhou Xiaosi stood to the side with a rope, ready to tie someone up at any moment.
Qing Yang was on edge, fearing he might suddenly go berserk and hurt someone.
What are you doing here again?
Zhen Shiqing turned his head, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw the Jin Shanyao.
He bowed respectfully, "My name is Zhen Shiqing. Your words last time enlightened me greatly. I happen to have a few new questions that I need your help to answer."
Jin Shanyao looked behind him; there was no one there. "You came by yourself?"
Zhen Shiqing smiled shyly, "My family keeps a close watch on me, so I have no choice..." As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver and placed them on the table, blushing as he asked.
"I want to seduce my stepmother, how can I let my father know?"
Jin Shanyao aback, asked instinctively, "You don't like your sister-in-law anymore?"
"Do people change? No matter how good your sister-in-law is, she can't compare to a mistress. Master... I believe you have a way."
He gently stroked the silver ingot with his fingers, blushing as he leaned closer, "Can I add more money?"
With a disdainful smile, Jin Shanyao, "Your money is filthy; I don't want to earn it."
Zhen Shiqing wasn't annoyed. He took out another ten taels and pushed them, along with the previous amount, in front of Jin Shanyao. "Twenty taels for a single sentence, not a loss."
"No..."
Zhen Shiqing took out another ten taels of silver. "I'll pay you thirty taels for just one sentence."
Jin Shanyao stared at the silver and laughed, " Zhen Shiqing, you're crazy, I won't stoop to your level... Take your money..." Before she could finish speaking, a silver note was slapped onto the table.
Jin Shanyao silent, her gaze lingering on the silver notes for a long time.
Zhen Shiqing looked as if he had seen something interesting; a slight smile played on his lips, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Jin Shanyao her eyes, then opened them again, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "Your father is old, and his strength and physique are naturally not as good as yours. You just need to take advantage of the rainy day to lure your stepmother out."
Remember... you must wear a thin white shirt, no underwear, and don't use an umbrella... Trust me, you will get everything you want.
A look of confusion crossed Zhen Shiqing's eyes. "What the master meant was, 'Love grows stronger on rainy nights.'"
"Wet is even more alluring..."
Zhen Shiqing suddenly realized what was happening, then jumped up, pointed at Jin Shanyao his nose, and cursed, "You're not human! You actually taught your son to seduce his own wife! This is against all morals and utterly immoral!"
*Smack! Jin Shanyao slapped the man unconscious with a backhand, her eyes filled with disdain. "I knew you weren't any good."
She got up, grabbed Zhen Shiqing's arm, and with a forceful movement, hoisted him onto her shoulder and walked out.
Meng Anzhi hurriedly called out, "Auntie, where are you going?"
Jin Shanyao walking without stopping, "Put the money away from the table, Auntie's going to take a stroll around the Zhen Household's place..."
Not knowing how to get to the Zhen Household, she carried Zhen Shiqing on her back, asking questions as she went, which attracted the attention of many people.
After a short while, Jin Shanyao kicked the Zhen Household Zhen Household's gate with a loud bang. The gate was actually cracked. Jin Shanyao a little embarrassed, as she had clearly held back her strength.
Hurried footsteps soon came from inside the courtyard, and the gate was opened. Just as Steward Huang was about to start cursing, he saw his young master lying unconscious on the woman's shoulder, his breath caught in his throat, almost choking.
Jin Shanyao carried Zhen Shiqing inside, saying, "Where's your master... tell him to come out and see me."
Steward Huang snapped out of his daze and chased after them, shouting, "You unscrupulous merchant... what have you done to my young master? Put him down right now, or we'll report you to the authorities!"
Jin Shanyao ignored him and walked through the hanging flower gate into the courtyard. She happened to come face to face with the man coming from the opposite direction. Jin Shanyao stared at the man in front of her for a long time.
He then put Zhen Shiqing down, held him in his arms, turned his face towards him, looked at this one, looked at that one... they were exactly the same.
"Twin?"
A look of surprise flashed across Zhen Shiming's eyes. "Miss, what happened to my brother?"
At this moment, Shopkeeper Huang caught up, snatched Zhen Shiqing from his grasp, and said to Zhen Shiming, "Second Young Master, this is the woman who cheated our family out of money."
Jin Shanyao cold, grabbed Zhen Shiqing, hoisted him onto her shoulder, and continued walking inside.
The Steward Huang, shouted angrily, "Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities! Someone has trespassed on a private property!"
Zhen Shiming grabbed him, "Go and call the master and madam over," and then caught up with Jin Shanyao, "Young lady, could you please put my brother down?"
Jin Shanyao glanced at him sideways, "You think you can just release it like that? Are you going to pay me?"
... Zhen Shiming chuckled, speechless. "Would the young lady be willing to come with me to the main hall?"
Jin Shanyao gestured for him to lead the way, and the two arrived at the main hall. Zhen Shiming instructed the maid to serve some tea and fruit.
The maidservant acknowledged and withdrew. Master Zhen and Madam Zhen rushed over in a panic. As soon as they entered the room, they saw their son being trampled underfoot by a girl. The two elders were so frightened that they almost fainted.
Master Zhen: "Young lady, let's talk this out. Please release my son first."
The eldest son's erratic behavior has caused a lot of trouble, and some people have come knocking on our door, but this is the first time someone has done something so utterly disrespectful to the Zhen Household...
Master Zhen's head was buzzing. "Young lady, let's talk this out. My son is not thinking clearly. He has not offended you in any way. My parents are willing to apologize on his behalf."
"Yes, yes, yes... Miss, let's talk this out," Madam Zhen echoed and went to help her son, but was stopped by Jin Shanyao.
"You are Zhen Shiqing's concubine."
Madam Zhen was embarrassed. "Young lady, what nonsense are you talking about? My Zhen Household has no concubines. Put my son down immediately."
At this moment, a maidservant brought in tea and fruit. Jin Shanyao up the teacup and, without caring whether it was hot or not, splashed it directly onto Zhen Shiqing's face.
Zhen Shiqing suddenly woke up, looked around and murmured, "How did I get home?" Then he felt a foot stepping on him and turned his head in disbelief.
His face flushed red, and he stammered, "Miss..."
"Shut up..." Jin Shanyao coldly rebuked, her gaze sweeping over the Zhen Household members, "Do you still want this son?"
"What are you saying? Of course we want them... Miss, please release them."
Master Zhen's face turned red with anxiety, while Zhen Shiming secretly scrutinized Jin Shanyao, as if trying to discern something from her expression.
Zhen Shiming: "Miss, why don't you just speak frankly?"
Jin Shanyao Zhen Shiqing and said coldly, "I won't argue with a madman, but if he comes to my shop again..."
Her gaze suddenly fell on Zhen Shiming, and she said viciously, "I'll break your legs."
Zhen Shiming's heart skipped a beat. "Miss, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. You can't break my leg just because of my brother's mistake."
Jin Shanyao thought he made sense. She looked around and said, "Then I'll break all your legs." With that, she picked up the fruit from the plate, took a big bite, and turned to leave.
As soon as Jin Shanyao left, Master Zhen slapped Zhen Shiqing across the face. "You unfilial son! All you do is run around outside all day. You've disgraced the Zhen Household. Don't you know how to learn from your younger brother?"
Zhen Shiqing licked his lips, muttering the words "younger brother" before laughing out loud, "What did Father tell me to learn from him? Or what does Father want me to learn from him?"
Zhen Shiqing staggered to his feet, then stopped halfway. "Oh... I forgot to tell you, I withdrew one hundred and fifty taels of silver from the accounting office. I hope you two won't object."
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhen burst into tears. "Shiqing, please stop making a scene... Don't you like Xing'er? I'll send her over to you right away."
Zhen Shiqing stood with his hands behind his back, his voice devoid of any emotion, "Let my younger brother keep it for himself. Besides, I don't like the name Shiqing."
Seeing her son leave, Madam Zhen grabbed her husband and began to sob, "My lord, do you think we made a mistake?"
"You unfilial son... Why are we doing this? Isn't it all for the sake of this family? He's been intelligent and quick-witted since childhood..."
"Father," Zhen Shiming interrupted him sharply. Realizing he had misspoke, Master Zhen swallowed the words that were about to come out.
He stared at his youngest son helplessly and said, "Can't you be a little more ambitious?"
