More ruthless than a ruthless person

  The storm in the house is more ruthless than the ruthless person.

  Qin Yu was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "He actually killed his own brother! He's a beast! A beast!"

  Chen Huan grasped Qin Yu's cold hand and comforted him, "Brother, we're all here. We must avenge Father and Mother!"

  Qin Yu nodded vigorously, "Please, sir, help me investigate thoroughly. If the evidence is conclusive, I will report it to the authorities!"

  Xing Huan's dark and bitter smile, if Brother knew that Lü Shi's later evil deeds were all derived from Qin Songtao's later power in the imperial court, knowing that both Big Uncle and Second Uncle were forced to death by Qin Songtao, what would he do?

  "Reporting to the authorities is not a good idea." Chen Huan slowly raised her eyes, "If one Qin An and one Lü Shi were brought down, do you think Qin Songtao would let it go? Would he give up easily? Once he's in a high position, what future would you have, brother? You wouldn't have any chance to rise again. And if that happens, can we still live in peace?"

  Qin Yu was taken aback, "That... Huan'er..."

  Chen Huan was suddenly stimulated by the pain of his past life, and his thin lips were pursed in a cold forest. "Let's see how they do it, dare to take another step, we can only be more ruthless than the ruthless! Revenge is always reported one step at a time!"

  Without complete grasp, Shen Huan still didn't want to make things worse, after all, she knew Qin Songtao's future prospects, and she couldn't just use one Lü family member to replace the futures of her brothers and uncles.

  Qin Yu stared at Chen Huan with wide eyes, as if he didn't recognize her, completely unaware that this 8-year-old girl was his sister who lived with him every day.

  Cao Tianjian gazed at Chen Huan, whose face was as delicate as a porcelain doll. In the depths of her eyes, there were undercurrents that ordinary people couldn't see, especially those icy, smiling eyes. The pupils seemed like dark whirlpools that could pull people into darkness, yet the surface of her eyes was clear and calm like a serene spring. These contradictory feelings converged together, exuding an inexplicable allure that made one feel she was different from others. She didn't seem to be born in this mundane world; it was as if she had cultivated for thousands of years, weathered hardships, and transformed into a human spirit.

  No wonder the young master attaches great importance to her, and even he can't move his eyes away from her. Every frown and smile of hers seems to attract attention.

  "Sir." Shen Huan returned to normal, revealing a little girl's expression, and bowed neatly to Cao Tianjian, "Thank you, sir, for investigating the case of my parents' unjust death."

  Seeing her change her face quickly, Cao Tianjian smiled and waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter."

  Chen Huan hesitated for a moment before taking out a small cloth package from behind him and placing it on the table, opening it to reveal an intricately carved bamboo tube made of natural bamboo.

  "I really don't know how to thank you, Ning Gongzi. Money would tarnish your noble character and devalue your kindness in saving me. I can only express my gratitude with sincerity. This bamboo box is made from the finest new bamboo this year, and the tea inside is the best spring tea that has just been infused with the dew of spring. It was personally hand-copied by my sister, who is a master tea-maker and excels at crafting top-grade spring tea. Such tea cannot be bought outside, so please, sir, convey it to Ning Gongzi and ask him to accept it with a smile. If he likes this tea, we will send some to his mansion every year from now on."

  Cao Tianjian's eyes lit up as he carefully picked up the exquisite bamboo box, admiring the intricate carvings that depicted the scene of Ling Feng meeting Chen Huan. In the distance, green mountains and cypress trees stood tall, while a handsome young man with flowing sleeves gazed intently into the distance, his expression perfectly captured. The craftsmanship was impeccable, but what was even more remarkable was how it utilized the natural colors of fresh bamboo to create varying shades of green, yellow, and white, bringing the scene to life in vivid detail, imbuing it with a refreshing aura.

  Qin Yu's eyes widened, "So you've been working on this every night, no wonder yesterday you and Qin Wan went to the tea mountain at dawn, it turns out you were picking tea."

  They smiled and laughed. The officials had seen nothing, it was too expensive for them to give, too little to devalue, and not as good as finding something that couldn't be bought with money but used heart.

  Cao Tianjian happily wrapped up the bamboo box and smiled at Chen Huan, "I didn't expect that Miss Qin would personally carve bamboo boxes, pick tea, and copy tea."

  Chen Huan saw Cao Tianjian's face full of joy, and the gift should still be pleasing to his eyes, suddenly feeling much more relaxed.

  "Yuhang is famous for its tea, my mother was once the Tea Goddess of Yuhang. Mother said that tea can cultivate one's mind and nature, my sister and I both liked to learn the art of tea with her, but I was clumsy. My sister was clever and elegant, not only did she follow in our mother's footsteps and master a skillful craft, but she was also proficient in all aspects of women's work, and her appearance was exceptional, probably no one in the entire city of Yuhang could compare to her."

  The Zhou family has been making a living by growing tea for generations, and they used to have a large tea garden. However, when the two officials appeared in their generation, they gradually abandoned the tea industry. In the end, the Zhou family was left with only one tea shop. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Shi is a girl who needs to bring dowry, this tea shop might not have been kept either.

  This morning, agriculture is valued over commerce, and as a result, even if they are poor, those who can become officials do not want to engage in business. Aristocratic women absolutely do not learn the art of tea, but since the current emperor loves tea, it has also become popular among the nobility. However, only men master it, and the aristocracy thinks that women playing with tea is just showing off, so few women study it thoroughly.

  Yu Hang was an exception, all because Yu Hang produced high-quality green tea. Every year, there was a big tea competition among the major tea mountain manors, and to attract people to watch, each family would select their most outstanding daughter to perform tea art in public. The winner would be decided based on the quality of the tea brewed. Shen Huan's mother had been the champion of a tea art competition when the Zhou family was still running the tea manor, becoming the Tea Goddess of that year. It was also during that time that Qin An fell deeply in love with Zhou Shi at first sight. However, Qin Gongxian had his heart set on marrying off his eldest son to an official's daughter to help him achieve success in his career. Alas, love blossomed rapidly between Qin An and Zhou Shi. The Zhou and Yan families also had some connections, and the Yan family's tea business was even bigger, so they placed great importance on the Tea Goddess. As a result, despite Qin Gongxian's strong opposition, Madame Yan insisted on taking charge and brought Zhou Shi into the Qin family as the First Lady of the Qin Manor.

  What's more important is that Qin Wan also participated in the tea art competition on behalf of her maternal grandmother's family, Yan Shi, and was spotted by the emperor who was traveling incognito to the south and wanted to take her into the palace.

  Chen Huan was very clear that his sister's tea art would be the excellent skill that would make her stand out among the noble ladies in the future, and this skill would definitely come in handy.

  But she won't let history repeat itself!

  Cao Tianjian gazed at Shen Huan with all his thoughts, "The young master will definitely like this gift very much."

  The horse carriage headed towards the Qin residence, and Qin Yu pointed at Shen Huan's forehead with his hand, "What did you mean?"

  The charming and mischievous girl stuck out her tongue, "Brother doesn't want to help sister find a good marriage? Maybe Ning Gongzi can lend a hand."

  Qin Yu opened her mouth, stared at Chen Huan, and suddenly pitied her, holding her in her arms. "Huan'er, your thoughts are so heavy that you even think of sister's marriage."

  "We can only rely on ourselves, can't we just hope that the Lü family will help our sister find a good marriage?"

  Qin Yu's face solidified, "Huan'er rest assured, brother will definitely plan a good future for the two of you."

  Smiling with a pleased expression, she grasped Qin Yu's arm and leaned against him like a little bird relying on its owner. "As long as the three of us siblings are all well, that's better than anything."

  Qin Yu stroked her hair and said in a low voice, "Definitely."

  As soon as the two entered the backyard of the Weeping Flower Gate, Yan Qing saw them and hurried over to whisper, "The eldest miss is in a bad mood."

  "What's wrong?" Xing Huan asked.
