If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Liu Yinghua covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

Qin Jingchang saw that the makeup on her face had washed out into two grooves, revealing the dark skin underneath. She had no trace of the shyness of a tearful girl, and looked just like a mountain torrent rushing into a ditch filled with garbage.

There was no trace of beauty, only annoyance. "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! What did I tell you in the beginning? Have you forgotten?!"

"How would I know? I only knew that our son would need to study, get married... there would be a lot of expenses, so we should save as much as possible. How could I have known that this damn girl would be so cruel and give it to him without hesitation?"

Qin Jingchang let out a long sigh and said sinisterly, "Let her be arrogant for a few more days. From now on, all the things in the funeral ceremony must be the best, and the burial specifications must be the highest."

Liu Yinghua forgot to shed tears and asked carefully: "Then, how much silver does it cost?"

Qin Jingchang was really pissed off by his wife's short-sightedness and money-loving stupidity.

He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you have made so much money over the years that it is impossible to count it! What are a few tens of thousands of taels? It is just a drop in the bucket. I don't know how many times my sister-in-law's personal wealth has increased over the years. That dead girl alone has more than a hundred dowries and three hundred thousand taels of silver..."

Liu Yinghua had two crooked black lines on her face as she revealed a smug smile, "And they have so many shops and farmland, just in Jinzhou City alone, I don't know how many there are."

Qin Jingchang sneered, "All the money used in the funeral is from the public treasury. If the dead girl wants to spend it, let her spend as much as she wants. The more she spends, the more we can talk back when the clan asks for it. Once the money is spent, it's spent. As long as we have the shops and land, won't the money flow in like water in the future?"

Liu Yinghua's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right! Master is really thoughtful."

"So, don't dig a room to look for rats!"

Liu Yinghua was stunned. "What, what does that mean?"

Qin Jingchang was angry, "It's just a small loss for a big loss!"

"Oh." Liu Yinghua quickly flattered him, "Master is really talented in writing. Fortunately, our son has inherited Master's cleverness."

Qin Jingchang smiled complacently, shook his sleeves and sat down on the armchair, "Go, get me two more side dishes and warm up the bottle of good wine."

Liu Yinghua agreed repeatedly and went out to tell the maid standing in the corridor to prepare wine and food.

Dongfu Funeral Hall.

Qin Antai has not yet changed the family tree, but has also agreed to the adoption.

He was the one who kept watch on the first night of the wake.

Charcoal braziers cannot be placed in the mourning hall.

Liu Yinghua had someone bring him a raccoon fur cloak, and told the maid to change the charcoal in the stove in the second master's arms every hour.

Stop freezing her baby son.

Qin Shu returned to the East Garden.

After repeated persuasion from Madam Liu, Qin Shu reluctantly ate a small piece of cake and drank a bowl of white porridge.

At the beginning of the Xu hour, Manager Chang returned to the East Palace with a small box.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by the gatekeeper, "Hey, isn't this the manager Chang? Are you here to collect the debt?"

Manager Chang didn't argue with him. He responded and handed the box directly to the attendant, "This time we need to bring back more than 4,000 taels of silver. Send these to the accounting office for public collection."

Seeing how happy he was, the gatekeeper let him in without saying anything else.

When the butler entered the mansion, he found out that the young lady had not yet gone to bed. After reporting the matter, Qin Shu had him summoned in.

Seeing that Manager Chang's face had turned blue from the cold and his beard was covered with frost and snow, Qin Shu quickly had someone serve him hot soup and ordered someone to bring a heater.

After drinking the hot soup and hugging the heater, Manager Chang finally felt his frozen body recover.

He quickly reviewed the situation of collecting accounts today in his mind and replied softly, "Today, I collected the income from 34 shops, including my wife's dowry. After learning the news about the master and his wife, the shopkeepers of 32 shops settled the income in advance, and the income of neighboring shops was gathered together. Because of the urgency of time, I only took the income and did not check the accounts."

He took out a thick stack of banknotes from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Xing beside him. "This is the revenue from the madam and young lady's shops, a total of 26,400 taels. In the mansion, except for the rouge shop and the grain shop, the other shops' revenues are not very good. The shopkeepers of the fur and grocery store and the Yufeng Restaurant, one said that it is difficult to collect the accounts this year, and the other is away."

not there?

The news of the master's death has been circulating for three days. As the manager of the mansion, no matter where he is, he should have returned and been on standby!

If he is not here at this time, it means he is hiding away on purpose.

Qin Shu sneered: If he can hide on the first day, can he hide on the fifteenth? It's not like there's no one left in the East Palace!

Seeing that Qin Shu didn't say anything, Manager Chang continued, "Last night, I calculated with Accountant Sun that the land, shops, and villas in the public house are worth about 150,000 taels at the current price, and there are still 35,000 taels of foreign debt."

Qin Shu thought for a moment and asked, "How much silver is our house, together with the West Mansion, worth?"

Manager Chang was stunned for a moment, but still answered: "When it was first purchased, the masters of the East and West Mansions spent a total of 7,300 taels, and later on the renovation alone it cost 4,000 to 5,000 taels. The garden where the young lady lives was purchased for 4,500 taels."

"Over the years, the master has spent a lot of effort on the house. The strange stone in front of the door alone cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver. If you look at the layout of the house now and don't rush to sell it, you can still sell it for 30,000 taels of silver."

Although Qin Jingyuan and his wife died a sudden death, they died outside and did not affect the feng shui of the house.

The Qin Mansion is located in the southern part of Jinzhou City. It is the quietest, most spacious and clean area, and is surrounded by many wealthy and powerful officials.

The price of houses is higher than other places.

Over the years, Dad and Mom have spent a lot of effort on decorating the house. Even the bricks on the floor were selected by Dad from the Panjiayao, a royal merchant in Jin.

Not to mention that the wood used to make furniture in each room is all top-quality yellow pear wood.

The wood alone for the step-out bed in my parents' room cost more than two thousand taels of silver.

Qin Shu's heart bleeds when she thinks about how her parents' hard work was just going to be taken advantage of by the heartless couple next door!

In particular, she suspected that her second uncle Qin Jingchang was most likely an accomplice in the murder of her parents!

The reason why he was not the main culprit was that with Qin Jingchang's ability and wealth, he could not afford such a master.

It is even more impossible that after killing his parents in the name of Qinglong Mountain bandits, he could still instigate Jinzhou Governor Cheng Mao to send troops to suppress the bandits.

There was also the poison that Xiaotao gave him in his previous life, which could kill people without anyone noticing.

Every time the doctor hired by the Liu family came to check her pulse, he said she had tuberculosis...

The real mastermind behind this is not someone Qin Shu can shake.

In my previous life, I was trapped in Liu’s house, and that person didn’t let me go.

I wonder if she can escape from that man's clutches in this lifetime?
