The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 136: She is... the lucky star of the Marquis Mansion?

Lu Qingchen glanced at them indifferently, then walked past them holding Qin Miaoxi's hand, laughing and playing, completely ignoring the two of them.

Qin Miaoxi felt a little strange in her heart, but she just glanced at the two of them and then quietly followed Lu Qingchen towards the gate.

"stop!"

One of them stretched out his hand to grab Lu Qingchen, but Qin Miaoxi was quick to pull Lu Qingchen away and warned him with an unhappy look, "Don't touch me."

Her words instantly angered the two men. One of them glared at her and cursed, "How dare you, a new bride, speak to us like that?"

Qin Miaoxi sneered. So what if she was a new bride? Did she, a county lady, have to pay her respects to two commoners?

He immediately retorted disdainfully, "What kind of random person dares to show off in front of this county lady?"

The two men were furious and shouted loudly: "We are Qingchen's second and third uncles. Qingchen, is this the Lu family etiquette you taught her?"

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but sneered, and said slowly: "What does the Lu family's etiquette have to do with my Marquis Mansion?"

After that, he turned around and said to Qin Miaoxi gently: "Let's go in!"

"Don't go, Lu Qingchen, stop right there." The two men shouted and tried to catch up.

Before they could get close, the gatekeeper rushed forward and stopped the two of them outside.

"Let us go, we are your Lord's elders." One of them struggled and shouted.

"Brother, look at your son. He won't let us go home. How disgraceful." Another man yelled towards the mansion.

Lu Qingchen ordered without even turning his head, "These two are from the Lu family. Send them to the Lu family and stop them from barking outside the Marquis' Mansion."

After receiving the order, the doorman immediately picked up the two men and dragged them towards the Lu family.

Lu Qingchen took Qin Miaoxi's hand and walked into the Marquis' Mansion without looking back.

When they arrived at the dining hall, Lu Qingchen hurriedly ordered the preparation of meals. He seemed indifferent, but in fact he was secretly glancing at Qin Miaoxi out of the corner of his eye.

I saw her eating quietly without asking a single question.

Qin Miaoxi said calmly without even looking up, "If you have something to say, just say it openly. Don't act like a thief."

Lu Qingchen was puzzled, "Aren't you curious?"

"Didn't you say they were insignificant people?"

To be honest, she wasn't that curious.

She hadn't spoken just now, but she was actually bargaining with the system. The system gave her a reward time, and after these cases, she had put a lot of effort into solving them, and only then earned herself six months of survival time.

She was very dissatisfied with this and argued with the system.

Unfortunately, it was a ruthless system and would not change the reward just because of her complaints.

However, at her strong request, the system promised to increase the reward in subsequent cases.

As for how much it will increase, she is still a little bit looking forward to it. After all, who doesn’t want to live a few more years!

Seeing Qin Miaoxi suddenly giggling, Lu Qingchen's heart was pounding. What happened?

Lu Qingchen took a deep breath, a barely perceptible trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, and he said with a slightly trembling voice, "Let me be frank! Those two are indeed my second and third uncles."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold glint in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past that was too painful to look back on.

"Oh!"

Qin Miaoxi responded softly, staring at him intently, feeling the heaviness hidden behind his words.

Lu Qingchen paused, biting her lower lip tightly, and continued, "For years, they have been secretly transferring my mother's dowry. That was my mother's only wish, but they used all kinds of underhanded tactics behind the scenes and became my father's accomplices. They treated me cruelly and abandoned me in the wilderness several times, leaving me in a state of uncertainty about my life or death. If it weren't for my grandfather and Wen Zhu, I would have died long ago."

At this point, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white, as if he was suppressing the pain in his heart.

His eyes were empty and deep, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and a faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He spoke calmly, but the slightly trembling voice betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

Qin Miaoxi looked at him deeply. Beneath his seemingly cynical appearance, he hid a heart full of scars.

She suddenly understood that his transformation into a playboy was probably due to his unhappy childhood. Only by appearing reckless and unrestrained could he avoid being bullied in the complex world. In reality, this was his way of protecting himself.

"Your maternal grandparents' home...?"

Lu Qingchen's expression softened. "In order to avoid disputes in the imperial court, they moved their clan to southern Xinjiang."

For some reason, Qin Miaoxi's heart suddenly trembled slightly. She couldn't say any words of comfort, but she could do something practical!

She patted Lu Qingchen's shoulder heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you from now on. No one will dare to bully you."

Lu Qingchen looked at her touchedly, "Thank you for being there!"

[As expected, she is still that kindhearted woman, hating evil as much as she hates it. When faced with injustice and ugliness in the world, she never chooses to remain silent or stand by indifferently, but always stands up first.]

Qin Miaoxi was stunned. This guy spoke as if he knew her very well, just like before.

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly became sharp. He couldn't really know her, otherwise why would he say those strange things when they first met?

Lu Qingchen was frightened by her sudden gaze and quickly changed the subject, saying, "I just want to tell you that you don't have to worry about these two people. Next time you see them, just beat them up. I'll take care of the rest."

Qin Miaoxi suddenly stood up excitedly, tightly grasped his shoulders and looked him in the eye, "How can this be possible?"

"what!?"

"Have you forgotten the agreement between us? You give me money and I'll help you deal with the Lu family. These two are your second and third uncles, so they're also considered members of the Lu family!"

She asked again uncertainly, looking nervous. This was related to whether she could get the commission smoothly, so she had to be cautious.

Lu Qingchen nodded woodenly, "Yes, it belongs to the Lu family."

Hearing this, Qin Miaoxi's eyes narrowed in a smile, "That's fine, we'll pay the money and do the work."

Just when Lu Qingchen didn't know whether to applaud and cheer her or quickly give her the banknote, the housekeeper hurried in.

"My Lord, great joy!"

I saw four people following the butler. They walked in carrying a heavy wooden box, and the box made a "bang" sound when it fell to the ground.

Lu Qingchen immediately sat up straight, "Ahem! Where does your happiness come from?"

The housekeeper looked straight at Qin Miaoxi, "Madam, you are truly the God of Wealth of the Marquisate!"

This sentence immediately made Qin Miaoxi's mind dizzy. The God of Wealth? Her?

She was shocked for a long time before she found her voice, "Butler, you are wrong!"

"Madam, look, since you married into the Marquis' Mansion, our shop has been thriving. This is what we earned this month, a full ten thousand taels more than last month."

The housekeeper was so excited that he danced with joy and hurriedly asked the servants to open the wooden box. It was filled with neatly arranged silver ingots, which almost made Qin Miaoxi's face dazzled.

Qin Miaoxi picked up a silver ingot in disbelief and asked repeatedly, "Are you telling the truth?"

The housekeeper immediately placed the account book in front of her. "How could this be fake? Here's the account book, madam. Take a look. This is all your earnings."

Qin Miaoxi waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't know how to read the account books, and I didn't do anything, how can this be considered my profit?"

The housekeeper disapproved and corrected him, "Madam, you can't say that. The shop has been losing money all these years. If you weren't the blessed daughter who changed the feng shui of the Marquis's mansion, how could the shop be profitable? Lord Marquis, don't you agree?"

"Yes, of course."

Lu Qingchen nodded quickly and replied, "I squandered a lot of my mother's dowry before, and the shop has always been losing money to make up for it. This is the first time I've made a profit! Madam, you are really the lucky star of our mansion!"

Qin Miaoxi felt a little flattered by the praise. This... was the first time someone said she was a lucky star.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head. Could this be the destined person that Senior Sister mentioned?!

For the first time, she directly felt the power of her senior sister, and her eyes turned kind when she looked at Lu Qingchen.

"Young Marquis, your blessing is yet to come!"

Lu Qingchen: "..."
