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

Liu Yinghua's smile froze, and she said, "I remember. What's wrong?"

Qin Jingchang's eyes were sinister, and his whole body was filled with coldness. "At the beginning, one of that man's conditions was that 60% of the wealth in this mansion belonged to him."

When Liu Yinghua heard this, she immediately jumped up and screamed, "Why?!"

Qin Jingchang was so frightened that he quickly covered her mouth and shushed her, saying angrily, "Keep your voice down!"

Liu Yinghua blinked her eyes.

After Qin Jingchang let go of her mouth, he said unwillingly: "Why should I give him 60%?! This is all ours!"

Qin Jingchang glanced at Liu Yinghua and sighed, "What do you know? Who are they? In their eyes, people like us are not even as good as an ant. They can easily kill us with just one finger! After this incident, we are in the same boat with them. If we can establish this kind of relationship, let alone 60%, 90% is worth it!"

He sneered and continued, "Besides, we have the final say on how much it is. They don't know how much money Big Brother has."

Liu Yinghua immediately prostrated herself in admiration, smiling until her eyes narrowed into slits, "Master must be smart."

Qin Jingchang sighed with deep emotion, straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and said complacently: "From now on, my days of rapid rise and success, Qin Jingchang, have truly begun!"

Liu Yinghua suddenly smiled and said, "These are our precious daughter's dowry. Master, as long as Yi'er enters the Cheng Mansion and gives birth to a child, we will be the in-laws of a third-rank official in the current dynasty!"

Qin Jingchang nodded and said, "So Yier's dowry must not be too shabby. There are many treasures in my sister-in-law's storehouse, and the silk and satin fabrics are all top-quality goods. There are also jade screens and rare calligraphy and paintings, so we can add some more. After all, the Cheng family is a family of officials, and the in-laws and son-in-law value these more."

Liu Yinghua smiled and nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Then let's go to the sister-in-law's warehouse now?"

Qin Jingchang took a breath and suddenly changed his words, "Come and see in the evening."

Liu Yinghua frowned slightly and said, "At night? But these past few days, the people in the mansion have been in a state of panic..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Yinghua had already understood what her husband meant: it was better if there were ghosts and people were in a panic. That way, when they went to the main courtyard storehouse, no one would come out to see.

Moreover, people would come to the mourning hall from time to time to pay tribute to the Qin Dazhang and his wife. It was not convenient with so many people coming and going.

Just like my husband said before: the secret of the mansion’s wealth must be in the hands of the two of them!

The two men locked the warehouse again.

Liu Yinghua looked at Qin Shu's house and asked, "Master, should we go to that dead girl's room to take a look?"

Qin Jingchang had his own plans, "No need for now."

The main reason was that he didn't have full confidence in those people.

What if that damn girl happened to come back and saw that the couple had touched things in her room and started making trouble again?

This doesn't look good on the face.

The bulk of it is in the main courtyard warehouse.

The things in that dead girl's room are just small drizzles!

When the two returned to the West Mansion, Liu Yinghua remembered and said quickly, "We have to ask the accountant to settle the bills at Wanzhenlou and other places. How much money does that spendthrift guy get for ordering so much wine and food?"

Qin Jingchang disagreed, "What's this little bit of money? But no matter how much money you have, it's not the right way to run a household if you squander it."

Liu Yinghua was delighted to have her husband's approval, and quickly raised her voice and ordered, "Come here."

A little girl came in and asked, "What do you want, Madam?"

"Go to the East Palace Accounting Office and ask someone to settle the bill at the shop where the eldest lady ordered food and snacks a few days ago."

The little girl took the order and went out for a while, then came back to report soon.

"Madam, the accountant Sun of the East Palace said that there is less than 100 taels of silver left in the account of the East Palace. I am afraid it is not enough to pay for a day's food at Wanzhenlou."

Liu Yinghua cursed and pulled the key from her waist, handing it to Madam Qi. "Madam, go to the box where I keep my money and take out five hundred taels to send to the East Palace."

Five hundred taels?!

When did the second wife become so generous?

Nanny Qi didn't dare to take the key and subconsciously glanced at Qin Jingchang.

Qin Jingchang nodded at her.

Only then did Madam Qi heave a sigh of relief, took the key, took out five hundred taels of silver from Liu Yinghua's private room, and delivered it to the accounting office of the East Palace.

Just after noon, Accountant Sun came to Xifu to settle the bills with receipts from the restaurant and the dim sum shop.

Less than sixty taels of silver were left out of the five hundred taels.

Liu Yinghua waved her hand generously and asked accountant Sun to record the money into the Dongfu Gongzhong account.

Anyway, it’s hers now, so it doesn’t matter where I put it.

Aunt Qi noticed someone peeking out of the gate and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What's the matter?"

Mother Zhang from the East Palace came over with a smile on her face and said, "Madam Qi, I want to ask you how to solve the food problem for the people left behind in the East Palace?"

Madam Qi then remembered that the Second Madam had paid the bill, the restaurant outside stopped sending food to the East Mansion, and there was no one in the big kitchen. The few people left in the East Mansion had nothing to eat.

After reporting this to the Second Madam, she thought for a moment and said, "When my eldest brother and his wife were in the East Mansion, my eldest brother had a lot of income, and the monthly wages for servants were set higher than those in other mansions. Now that I am in charge, we can no longer follow the old rules."

She flipped through the account books in the mansion and said to Madam Qi, "Now that the master is not here in the East Mansion, they naturally have nothing to do. Just look after the courtyard and give them the share of the third-class maids and servants. As for food, tell them, and when it's time to eat, have them come to the West Mansion to get it."

A third-class maid only earned five hundred coins a month.

In the past, the lowest-ranking maid in the East Palace earned one tael and five cents of silver a month!

As soon as the news came, the servants who stayed in the East Palace immediately regretted their decision.

At that time, except for the two second-class maids in Qin Shu's courtyard, the others also secretly defected to the second wife.

Originally, he had hoped to be the first to seek refuge with the Second Wife, and when she took over the reins, he could gain some experience and get a monthly salary increase.

I didn't expect that the monthly salary didn't increase, and now it has almost been cut!

And I heard that the servants in the West Mansion eat worse than pigs, and even dogs won’t eat the leftover food.

The East Mansion has no master, but the house in the East Mansion must be cleaned?

The floor needs to be mopped?

Flowers and plants must not be pruned or managed?

Only 500 coins a month, not even a beggar can stay!

Several servants from the East Mansion discussed it together and just as they entered the West Mansion they wanted to ask for an explanation, but they were scolded by Liu Yinghua.

Without waiting for dark, they called in human traffickers and sold the person directly.

At this point, there were only two second-class maids in Qin Shu's courtyard in the garden left in the East Palace.

At night, Liu Yinghua and Qin Jingchang sat in the room in boredom.

Qin Jingchang's concubine Bingqing came to invite him, but was sent back to her room by the uneasy Qin Jingchang.

The two sat opposite each other, but neither spoke.

Qin Jingchang's legs were shaking and his fingers were tapping on his knees as if in spasm.

I always feel that the hourglass today is moving much slower than usual.

Finally, after endless torment, the sand in the clepsydra finally fell onto the hour of Hai.

The two men jumped up almost at the same time as if there were springs under their buttocks.
