The fortune teller congratulated him. “Master Shen, your wife is pregnant with a blessed child. You have to take good care of her. If the child is born successfully, your family will become even richer in the future.”

When Master Shen heard that it was a blessed child, he was interested. “Sir, how blessed is the child?”

The fortune teller lowered her voice mysteriously. “In the future, he can become the top scholar, marry the princess, and become the son-in-law of the emperor.”

Master Shen was stunned. He was overjoyed. “Really?”

“I’m a fortune teller. I’ve never miscalculated.” The fortune teller began to calculate again. “Your eldest son has already become a scholar. He’s also the son-in-law of the assistant minister of the Ministry of War and is now a high-ranking official.”

Master Shen had absolute trust in the Fortune teller when he heard this. “Sir, what should I do now to protect this child?”

The fortune teller said seriously, “First of all, you have to bring your concubine home. It’s best if she becomes your first wife. Why would the princess marry an illegitimate son?”

Master Shen agreed. “Sir, you’re right.”

The fortune teller continued, “Also, your wife jinxed you, jinxed your son, and jinxed the Shen family. It’s best to chase her out.”

“I…” He thought about it. “But she has a son of a high-ranking official. If I chase her out, what if her son falls out with me?”

The fortune teller said earnestly, “Master Shen, the son is her son and also your son. This is a matter between the two of you. As a son, how can he interfere?”

The more Master Shen thought about it, the more he felt that this was right. “But what reason should I find to chase her away?”

The fortune teller suggested eagerly, “Master Shen, bring the concubine back. Your wife will definitely kick up a mess. You can take the opportunity to flare up and find fault with her.”

Master Shen’s eyes lit up. “Thank you for your advice. I know what to do.”

He dreamed of chasing that b*tch out. This woman was unreasonable, domineering, and ruthless. She had even killed his illegitimate children. If not for her family’s power, he would have chased her out long ago.

Now that her family had fallen, there was no need to be afraid of her.

The fortune teller nodded in relief. “Master Shen will definitely get what you want.”

Master Shen was overjoyed as he imagined scenes of his son marrying a princess.

He quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to the fortune teller. “Sir, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”

The fortune teller took the banknote with a smile. “I wish Master Shen good luck.”

Master Shen laughed, straightened his back, and returned to the Shen residence.

Shen residence.

Han Xinyu hurriedly walked into the courtyard. “Madam, Master is here.”

Madam Shen paused and closed the account book. She mocked expressionlessly, “He must be here to ask for money.”

Han Xinyu lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

In silence, Master Shen strode into the courtyard. Unlike before when he was weak and timid, he said arrogantly, “I’m here to inform you of something. I’m going to bring Jun Lan back. Get someone to clean up the West Mist Courtyard immediately.”

Madam Shen’s face was ashen. At this moment, she only wanted to beat Master Shen to death. “Say that again.”

Seeing Madam Shen so domineering, Master Shen was a little scared. However, when he thought of what the fortune teller had said, he straightened his back.

“I said that 1 wanted to bring Jun Lan home. She’s already pregnant with my child and has the blood of the Shen family.”

Madam Shen was furious. She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to Master Shen. “Don’t even think about it!” She raised her hand and pointed at Master Shen. “Let me tell you, as long as I’m in the Shen family, she can forget about entering this house.”

Seeing Madam Shen like this, Master Shen was extremely annoyed. He shouted angrily, “Then get out of my Shen family.”

Madam Shen was stunned and looked at Master Shen in disbelief. They had been husband and wife for more than twenty years, but he actually told her to get out! How could he tell her to get out?

Master Shen was determined to chase Madam Shen out this time. “You jinx. Whether you agree or not, I’ll take Jun Lan home today.” With that, he turned around and left.

Tears rolled down Madam Shen’s face as she sat on the stool dejectedly. She felt like a pitiful worm. She had spent so much effort managing the Shen family for so long, but in the end, this was what she was rewarded with.

Han Xinyu asked carefully, “Madam, what should we do now?”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Madam Shen’s eyes, and she exuded a dark aura. “Let him bring her back. At most… I’ll just kill her.”

Han Xinyu shuddered and did not dare to say anything else.

The butler looked for Madam Shen anxiously. “Madam, our cloth shop is on fire.”

Madam Shen slammed the table and stood up. She asked anxiously, “Why is it on fire? Has anything been burned?”

The butler was extremely nervous. “The most precious fabrics in the cloth shop are burned. Now, there are only some medium and inferior fabrics left.”

Madam Shen couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her vision darkened and she fainted. She even had a high fever after waking up.

This news quickly reached Chu Qingzhi’s ears. She smiled. “This old witch can’t cause trouble now.”

At Pure and Gentle Women’s Clothing Shop.

The storeroom was filled with fabrics. Such good fabrics were worth at least 30,000 taels of silver according to the market price.

Chu Qingyue touched the fabrics one by one. It was all smooth. “Fifth Sister, where did you buy these fabrics? It’s good material.”

Chu Qingzhi went to Madam Shen’s cloth shop and set fire to it. Looking at those precious fabrics, she felt that it was a pity to burn them, so she moved them back.

“I saved a passerby on the way just now. He happened to be a traveling merchant who sold fabrics, so he sold them to me at a low price.”

Chu Qingyue thought to herself that her fifth sister was lucky. “Fifth Sister, how much did these fabrics cost? I’ll give it to you.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “We’re sisters. There’s no need to pay me.”

Chu Qingyue shook her head and said, “How can that do? As the saying goes, brothers and sisters should settle accounts clearly. You’ve done enough for me. 1 can’t take advantage of you anymore.”

This thought was not bad. Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then how much money have you earned?”

Chu Qingyue said happily, “A thousand taels.”

Not bad. She had earned so much in half a year. Chu Qingzhi said, “Second Sister, add these fabrics to your dowry. I don’t want your money.”

Chu Qingyue held Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Fifth Sister, there are too many.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. “How about this? Second Sister, make this batch of fabrics into clothes and sell them. Then, give me half of the profits. How about that?”

Chu Qingyue agreed without hesitation. “Let’s do as you say.”

Now that there was nothing else to do here, Chu Qingzhi planned to leave. “Second Sister, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go home first.”

Chu Qingyue said, “I’ll send you out..”
