Cui Shijiu finally came to Cui Mansion, where she saw her elderly father staggering onto the carriage from a distance, looking lonely.And humble, Cui Jiu was afraid that her father would see her current embarrassment and turn around immediately, but he burst into tears.

This time, Cui Jingchu, Cui Jingchu's father, went to work in a trading company. In order to repay the forfeiture of the palace these days, he borrowed money from almost all the banks to make up for the forfeiture.When Yan Zijing returned to Hangzhou, the store supervisors immediately presented them with the IOUs that Cui Jingchu had given them over the years. There were a total of eighteen stores, and Cui Jingchu pawned all of them to the firm.

Now Cui Jingchu has been deprived of her position at the head of the business, and all the previous maids and mothers have been sent away. So many Yingying Yanyans have also become birds and beasts.

Cui Jingchu sat on the ground alone and cried without tears.Yan Zijing rushed to Cui's house with Kang Tao and took out all the IOUs. Cui Jingchu finally understood who she was fighting. She had bloodbathed the entire Yan family, but now she was really unhappy with her retribution.

Yan Zijing took out all the debts and land deeds of the eighteen shops collected in the box. He reminded Cui Jingchu that the matter was not over yet, and another family would be buried with them later.Cui Jingchu was devastated and soon committed suicide by hanging from a beam.

Cui Jiu has become like a beggar, ridiculed by countless people, and even almost defiled by the beggar gang. When he heard that his father was dead, he burst into tears and went to see his father for the last time, but was dragged away by several beggars.When Duanwu heard crying, she followed the sound and happened to see Cui Shijiu. It was indeed her!After all, Cui Shijiu had rescued the miners in the mine. The Dragon Boat Festival still had a trace of kindness in her heart, so she beat away the beggars and rescued Cui Shijiu.

Cui Jiu was suffering from cold and fainted on the street. Fortunately, a noble prince saw her and rescued her.With Cui Jiu having a backer, he naturally began to plan how to avenge his father.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, I met the oiran Bai Xiaoshu in Hangzhou. The oiran Bai Xiaoshu played the pipa very well. Along the way, passers-by were looking up at him, admiring the jewelry he wore on his head and the clothes he was wearing.Duanwu and Yue Yunxiu have naturally seen the world and feel that the styles of these jewelry are not new, but people think they are the most gorgeous, and they are eager to covet them. They usually save a lot of money and go to the Baicao Jingshe where the oiran goes to buy jewelry.

The imperial edict has been issued, and Zhang Jinran was appointed as the inspector of Huainan Road. He can go to Yangzhou to continue investigating the case. Now that the official title has been granted, Zhang Jinran can naturally come and go easily. He went to say goodbye to King Ying. King Ying told him that if he encounters difficulties in going to Yangzhou, he canDiscuss with the Zheng family.

Duan Wu finally found Yan Zijing in Yangzhou. It was raining heavily. Duan Wu came to Yan Zijing's business alone and asked him why he ran away that day. Yan Zijing turned his back to her. Hearing Duan Wu's voice, he was surprised and happy, but thinking about his ownHis condition did not improve and there were not many days left, so he finally decided to be cruel and deliberately scolded Duan Wu to get out of Yangzhou as soon as possible and stay as far away from him as possible.Duan Wu took the dagger to avenge Xiao Xiami, but was stopped by the guards around Yan Zijing. Yan Zijing took the dagger from Duan Wu's hand with his bare hands and told her to get out.

Duanwu completely turned against Yan Zijing, and the remaining kindness from before was exhausted. She began to concentrate on discussing with Yue Yunxiu how to establish a foothold in Hangzhou. Since both of them could make gestures, Duanwu decided to follow the route of Baicao Jingshe. They wanted to findAn oiran, and then let this oiran help them build the reputation of their shop.
