Transmigration: A Farm Girl’s Brocade -

Chapter 341: 202
It really was him!
Qian Yixiu’s heart felt as if it had been instantly emptied. She took out a five-tael silver ingot and gave it to Liang Fu, saying, "Thank you, Butler Liang, and also thank your relative. Take this silver and treat him to a drink."
Her voice seemed to come from far away, as if it wasn’t coming out of her mouth.
After Liang Fu left, she went back to her bedroom to lie down, devoid of any strength. Her mind replayed scenes from home after her father left, like a film being projected.
Grandfather Sangui lay in bed almost all day, gritting his teeth as he took care of household affairs...
Grandma Wu left early and came back late, busying herself with farm work. In a few years, she had transformed from a beautiful woman to a hunchbacked crone...
Her young aunt, still just a five-year-old child, took care of the whole family, doing almost all the household chores...
Her mother waited at the door every single day, hopelessly longing for Brother Jiang to return from his travels, her love never wavering through the years...
And then there was Qian Yeejin, who as an infant had started going into the village alone, begging for food—a frail little protagonist blown away with the slightest breeze...
The whole family was bullied by evil people...
If she hadn’t transmigrated, what would have become of her family?
If she hadn’t been a ghost for years, learning things others did not know and making a fortune by sheer luck, what would have happened to them?
Was wealth and glory really that great? Could it really make him abandon his parents, his wife, and children?
He was a thousand times more despicable than Shang Qingyun in her past life!
But now, there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t sue him like Qin Xianglian, nor could she expose him to Duke Liang, or confront him with righteous indignation. Even if they met, she would still have to pretend not to know him.
After all, she couldn’t tell him that his ghost had seen him and recognized him as her own Ghost Daddy, could she?
Qian Yixiu was overwhelmed with sorrow, burying her head in the blankets and crying softly.
Lady Wei and Zi Zhu, along with Bai Zhu, were terrified and rushed to ask her what had happened. No matter how they questioned her or tried to comfort her, Qian Yixiu just sobbed quietly.
Lady Wei cried as well, recalling how the lord and lady had repeatedly entrusted her to take good care of their young mistress before they left. She scolded the two maids for not taking proper care of their mistress, not even knowing the reason for her sadness. She pushed the maids in frustration.
With tears, Zi Zhu said, "I saw Butler Liang Fu come to see our mistress. They spoke behind closed doors for a while. After Butler Liang left, mistress became like this."
Crying, Lady Wei said, "No, I must go find Butler Liang and ask him what he did to upset our mistress. Young Master Liang clearly instructed him to look after us, not to bully our mistress."
As she was about to get up to confront Liang Fu, Qian Yixiu grabbed her. With swollen eyes, she said, "It has nothing to do with Butler Liang. Don’t tell him about me crying. I just miss my home, I miss my mother and them. A good cry will make me feel better."
After hearing this, Lady Wei and the others consoled her some more and helped her wash up.
The next day, Qian Yixiu suppressed her troubles and led her people to place more than a dozen large flower baskets at the entrance of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop. These had been brought from her home, the flower baskets were weaved by Grandfather Sangui when he was free, and they contained silk flowers.
Many red silk and silk flowers, as well as some colorful lanterns, were also hung inside and outside the building of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop.
In her past life, Qian Yixiu worked for over a decade in a union and had quite some experience with setting up venues.
Therefore, although the grand opening was not until the next day, the flashy exterior of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop had already attracted many onlookers.
In the afternoon, Uncle Liang and Young Master Song led Butler Song of Liang Mansion and a dozen Protectors over.
Qian Yixiu and Qian Hua invited them to Sanyuan restaurant for a meal.
The three masters dined in a private room while Qian Hua treated Butler Song and the others in the hall.
Liang and Song both said they had already spoken to many people who would surely come to support the opening the next day. All the women from the Liang family loved the Liancourt Cosmetics given by Yixiu and had praised them, ensuring many would visit the next day.
Qian Yixiu was extremely pleased to hear this and expressed her gratitude.
She then asked them, "Which silver shop in the Capital City is reputable? I’m thinking of buying a small courtyard, but I’m a bit short on cash. I want to sell a string of pearls, but Qian Hua said that the dealings with Jade Kirin Silver Shop are not very good."
Uncle Liang said, "Are the pearls good? If they are good, you don’t have to sell to a silver shop. I can directly introduce you to Grandpa Pan who loves pearls the most. As long as the pearls are of high quality, he will buy them, no matter the price."
Qian Yixiu said, "The pearls are definitely good. They were bought by my grandfather from a foreigner while he was running errands. They’re a bit different from the East Pearl and South Pearl of Daqian."
