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

As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, the servants in the mansion had already gotten up and started to work for the day.

Qin Shu also stood up, and Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao called the maid in to help her wash and change clothes.

The cotton cloth on the top of the head was soaked with water.

Xiao Xing untied the cotton cloth, revealing the wound inside.

Qin Shu raised her hand and pressed it gently.

There was no pain in the wound, and it seemed as if a scab had formed, and it felt numb and tingling.

Madam Liu looked at the shocking wound and said worriedly, "I'm afraid it will leave a scar."

Qin Shu didn't care and asked Xiao Xing to bandage her wound again.

She held the cotton cloth and casually ordered, "Go and see if Aunt Chun is here."

The maid Zuan'er, who was holding a box of earrings for Qin Shu to choose from, suddenly asked, "Why is Nanny Chun here so early?"

Qin Shu suddenly looked at Zuan'er, her cold eyes were like a poisoned knife, gloomy and cruel.

Zuan'er was frightened by Qin Shu's gaze and fell to his knees with a thud.

Qin Shu stared at her coldly and said word by word: "You, have overstepped the boundaries!"

Zuan'er was so frightened that she trembled all over and stammered, "I know I was wrong."

Qin Shu glanced at her and said coldly: "Remember, in this mansion now, the more you talk, the faster you die!"

She stood up, her worthless white feather skirt gently sweeping across the ground, "If you don't want to die, shut up!"

Xiaotao lowered her head slightly and clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen.

Qin Shu glanced at her and said coldly, "During this period of time, if anyone dares to gossip in the mansion, don't blame me for ignoring our friendship over the years and beating him to death!"

Xiao Tao's forehead was covered with sweat: She really wanted to say something to the Second Madam of the West Mansion just now.

just in case……

If she was really beaten to death for tipping off the informant, the Second Lady of the West Mansion would not turn against the young lady for a maid like her at this moment.

After all, the young lady is her real master now.

Matron Liu looked at the young lady's cold face, her eyes reddening again and again: The young lady, who is so soft-tempered, has to hold on now.

Soon, Nanny Chun came into the yard with a cold look on her face.

Xiao Xing was smart. After Nanny Chun came in, she led everyone out and stayed outside the door.

Nanny Chun entered the room, untied her cloak, and gently placed the two small boxes hidden in her arms on the table beside Qin Shu.

Qin Shu looked at Nanny Chun's red hands from the cold and handed her the heater, "Mammy, take this and warm your hands."

Nanny Chun's eyes were badly swollen. I was afraid that she had been crying since she went back home last night.

She choked up and uttered "Ah", took the heater with both hands and held it in her arms, without saying anything, she just kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

When Qin Shu learned that her mother had passed away, Nanny Chun felt as sad as she did.

Speaking of which, although the news of her parents' death had just arrived in this life, for Qin Shu, this memory was already too distant.

Nanny Chun managed to calm down, pointed at the small box on top and said softly, "These are the contracts and banknotes for the land, shops and villas that Madam has accumulated over the years. I have been in charge of them all the time."

She placed a bunch of keys on the box and said, "Here are the keys. There are not only the wife's private property in it, but also the money earned by the master from his business. No one knows how much there is except the wife."

Qin Shu gently placed her hand on it: "Dad loves Mom very much. He never forgets to buy gifts for Mom when he goes out to do business. Mom keeps all the money he earns. He only asks Mom for it when he needs it."

Fortunately, the money was not deposited into the public account, otherwise it would be difficult for her to tamper with it.

In her previous life, she had never met Nanny Chun in private before her second aunt became the housekeeper.

Just after noon the next day, Second Aunt sent Nanny Chun away.

Naturally, she had never even seen this box, and had no idea how much money was inside.

Nanny Chun took out a sachet from her sleeve pocket and placed it respectfully next to the box. "This is the seal of the Madam. All transactions in the Madam's dowry shop and the transfer of silver from the bank must be stamped with the seal of the Madam."

Qin Shu picked up the sachet and took out her mother's seal: the yellow jade seal was dipped in ink and engraved with very complicated patterns, with the two words "Yongfang" in the middle, which were the words her father gave to her mother.

Nanny Chun moved the small box aside and pushed the other box toward Qin Shu. "These are the deeds of the shops, farms, and real estates in the mansion, as well as the rent and harvest collected this fall. These are all public."

At this point, Nanny Chun paused, and seeing that Qin Shu didn't look strange, she continued, "Madam used to say that you shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Miss, now that the master and mistress are gone, you have nothing to rely on. You have to find a way to keep these silver and land with you, so that you won't be bullied in the future."

Qin Shu pushed the box containing the public property aside, picked up the key and opened the first box.

It was filled with silver bills, land deeds and house deeds.

All the banknotes were in denominations of 100,000 taels.

It was a thick stack, and there were probably dozens or even hundreds of sheets.

Qin Shu knew that her father's business made money, but she didn't expect it to be so much!

In the past, her pocket money every month was several hundred taels.

During festivals and birthdays, my father and mother would give me another big red envelope.

She casually handed them all to Xiaotao for safekeeping.

I don’t know how much was embezzled.

Seeing that Qin Shu was just staring at the box in a daze, Nanny Chun had to lower her voice to persuade her, "Miss, please allow me to say something very disrespectful. The master and mistress have just passed away, and the coffin has not yet entered the house, but the second master and mistress of the West Mansion have already regarded themselves as the masters of the family. They are thinking of taking over our East Mansion for themselves."

Madam Liu nodded in agreement. "The Second Madam was here all day yesterday. As soon as the young lady woke up, she asked the young lady for the right to manage the household, under the pretext of working for the East Palace. She looked so anxious, she really couldn't wait even a moment."

Nanny Chun and Nanny Liu looked at each other and said, "Young lady has already had an engagement with the Cheng family. If the Cheng family keeps their promise, young lady will marry into their family in the future. According to the clan rules, if there is no son in a mansion to inherit the family business, the family property will be owned by the clan."

"The Second Master will definitely be reluctant to give away such a large family business, and will definitely find a way to persuade the clan leader to adopt a son for the Master and his wife..."

In this dynasty, there is a saying that women can comb their hair themselves or find a husband for their daughter.

But Qin Shu was already engaged, so these two paths were naturally blocked.

If you can't keep your family property, you will have no choice but to give it away to others.

Once the stepson is included in the family tree, the family property is no longer hers.

Qin Shu couldn't help but sigh softly: Look, everyone can see it clearly, but she was so confused in her previous life.

If she wasn't the one who couldn't be helped up, these old people wouldn't have ignored her.

Qin Shu remembered that in her previous life, her stepbrother's entry into the mansion was a decision made after consultation between the clan leader and her second uncle, and she had not agreed to it at all.

In this life, the stepbrother still needs to enter the mansion.

The power of the housekeeper still has to be given to my second uncle and second aunt.

Since you can't change the outcome, take the initiative and seize the initiative.

It is much better than passively accepting the results and being controlled by others.

Qin Shu put the seal in her mother's private box and locked it.

He opened the box in the public house next to him and saw that it was full of land deeds and silver bills, as well as a thick paper roll tied with hemp rope.

As soon as she touched the paper, Nanny Chun immediately replied, "That's the loan note for the money that the master borrowed."

The loaned silver...

Now that my parents are gone, I don’t know if I can get the money back.

The land deeds must be registered with the government. As long as the stepson comes home and goes to the government to ask to see the Qin family's land deeds, the government will cooperate.

Qin Shu said softly, "I understand what the two maids said. How can I give away my parents' hard-earned money? But as a girl, I have no right to dispose of the deeds to the public land."

Nanny Chun seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Qin Shu then asked, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"

Nanny Chun whispered, "After I went back last night, I discussed this matter with Manager Chang. If the young lady can sell all of these as soon as possible and buy some more villas and shops, the contracts will be signed in the young lady's name. Even if the stepson marries into the family in the future, he will not have the right to view the dowry in the young lady's name."

But if they were all sold, once Second Uncle found out, he could just imprison Qin Shu in the mansion, and it would not be difficult for a helpless and weak woman to die quietly in the backyard.

Qin Shu shook her head gently. "This idea is good. But the people in the clan probably know how many shops and properties the East Mansion has. If we sell them all, I'm afraid my second uncle and the others won't agree."

After all, after Qin Shu's parents passed away, except for her mother's dowry and the dowry prepared for Qin Shu, all other property in the East Mansion belonged to her, and all other properties would either belong to the clan or to her stepson in the future.

It's just so unfair.

But there is nothing to do.
