Chapter 216: An Accident at the New Year's Eve Dinner (1)

New Year's Eve, also called New Year's Eve, is one of the most traditional festivals in China. The climax of the Spring Festival is also on this day.

On this day, families gather together to celebrate the New Year and have New Year's Eve dinner, as well as important customs such as keeping the year old.

Ordinary families can do these things, but it is more difficult for the Shangqiu family.

The merchant family used to be very lively. The whole family would gather together to have a reunion dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala. At midnight, they would light incense and firecrackers to show that the coming year would bring prosperity and the family would be healthy and safe.

However, because of something that happened a few years ago, everything changed. Even though everyone would come back to eat, the warm atmosphere of previous years was missing.

Mrs. Shang personally led the family's servants early in the morning to get busy and decorated the entire manor in a festive manner.

But no matter how you dress up, something is still missing. That's because the merchant's young master Shang Aoqin is still recuperating out of town, and he won't be able to come back this year without Shang Xufeng's permission.

Yesterday, Mrs. Shang called Shang Xufeng and made some insidious remarks, but Shang Xufeng only agreed to go home for a family reunion dinner tonight and didn't mention anything else.

Mrs. Shang is a smart person, why can't she understand what Shang Xufeng means? As long as Shang Xufeng doesn't let go, I'm afraid Shang Aoqin will never be able to raise his head as a human being again in his life.

She sighed softly, if back then...

Mrs. Shang shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Things had already developed like this, so what's the point of talking about it.

"Mom, let me help you." Qiu Yushan watched from a distance for a while before coming over.

"I don't need your help, just go and have a rest." Mrs. Shang immediately supported Qiu Yushan. Now that her son was half a disabled person, all her hopes could only be placed on this unformed grandson.

Because of her pregnancy, Qiu Yushan is now the key protection target of merchants, and Mrs. Shang takes great care of her.

"Mom, I'm fine, I can still help." Qiu Yushan said again.

Mrs. Shang helped her walk to the main hall and warned: "Now our business's hope lies in your belly. You can't be careless."

"Well, I will definitely be careful and let the child come into this world safely." Qiu Yushan said, but she didn't think so in her heart.

After learning that Qiu Lingyang was pregnant two days ago, Qiu Yushan began to plan something. As long as this thing succeeded, it would be two birds with one stone for her.

Mrs. Shang added: "Yushan, just sit here for a while and let the people below do it if necessary. Don't tire yourself."

Qiu Yushan nodded and replied obediently: "Mom, go and do your work, I will take care of myself."

Watching Mrs. Shang leave, Qiu Yushan fixed her eyes on the stairs on the second floor.

The second floor to the first floor is connected by a semi-rotating staircase. This staircase is made of marble and has a hard texture.

The staircase from the second floor to the first floor is three meters high. Even if there is a platform in the middle, it will not be of much use.

Qiu Yushan casually picked up a magnetic cup and slowly walked up the stairs. When she reached the second floor stairs, she let go and dropped the cup to the ground with a crisp sound, breaking into several pieces.

"Madam, are you okay?" After hearing the sound, a servant came over to greet her soon.

"It's okay." Qiu Yushan said with a smile, "I just accidentally broke a cup. Please clean it up."
