The biggest restaurant in Yingjing collapsed. Everyone else survived, but Du Qingwan's husband died inside.
The restaurant owner compensated her with fifty thousand strings of cash and included a refined, handsome young bookkeeper to help manage her estate.
An unexpected fortune had come her way. There was no time to grieve, and everyone urged her to keep her money safe.
The bookkeeper was especially diligent, always guarding against other people's ill intentions.
For example:
The scholar who often came by to ask for water and smiled at her, dimples and all:
"He's after your money."
The newly titled top graduate who brought her novels every few days and arrived at her door with pastries:
"He's after your money."
The young general who gave her a pony and taught her to use a sword:
"He's after your money."
"Surely not Qiao Lang? He's the one who paid me the compensation..."
"He regrets it and wants his money back. Stay away from him."
"Also... I think my husband has come back to life these past few days..."
"He heard you got rich and came back to life out of anger."
The world really was so treacherous.
At least he sincerely wanted to stay by her side.
Du Qingwan sighed with feeling. He said nothing.
Later, she grew bold and slept with all those men with ulterior motives, though they slept separately. She didn't binge-eat.
Du Qingwan happily told the bookkeeper, "I didn't pay them a single coin. You could say they got what they deserved... Why are you picking up a spatula?"
The bookkeeper rolled up his sleeves, his face dark. "To kill someone."
