"what?

You used all the money in your family to lend money at high interest rates. How could you be so foolish? "

Hearing Li Yue'er's confident words, Tong Guoan felt his heart tighten.

"How much money did you lend?

Our dynasty has issued a clear ban on usury. The law stipulates that those who lend money at usury will be sentenced to prison at the very least, and if the amount exceeds 50 taels of silver, they will be beheaded."

Tong Guoan felt like he was having trouble breathing, but Li Yue'er still looked indifferent.

"Master, you are overthinking it. Lending money at high interest has existed in every dynasty. Our dynasty has banned it for so many years, but there are still people doing it in private.

Even if you and I don't make this money, someone else will. It doesn't matter as long as you keep it secret.

Besides, with the current status of Duke Yue's Mansion, you are known as Tong Banchao. Which officer would be so blind as to dare to come to Tong Mansion to arrest people?

I am not stupid. I did not lend money outside in the name of our Tong Mansion. I did it in the name of someone else. Even if something happens and Duke Yue's Mansion denies it, who can do anything to us?

You are the emperor’s uncle…”

Seeing Tong Guoan sitting there in silence with a bad look on his face, Li Yue'er smiled complacently. She had controlled Tong Guoan thoroughly for so many years, and judging from his current reaction, this matter was nothing serious.

He winked at the maids in the room and told them all to leave.

After the maids left, Li Yue'er smiled charmingly, twisted her waist, and sat on Tong Guoan's thighs, her whole body leaning softly on Tong Guoan's chest, a pair of snow-like arms around Tong Guoan's neck, and her enchanting eyes made Tong Guoan feel itchy in his heart.

"master……"

The call of "Grandpa" with a very high sugar content made Tong Guoan's bones almost crispy.

Tong Guoan's throat rolled and he unceremoniously put his arms around Li Yue'er's slender waist.

"Master, you were so fierce just now. You scared me to death."

The concubine's soft and coquettish behavior successfully reduced Tong Guoan's anger by a large margin.

But he couldn't bring himself to lose face, so Tong Guoan could only pat Li Yue'er's shoulders comfortingly, and then gave her a big kiss on the face without any hesitation.

"My dear, the situation outside is not very good now. I am waiting to use the silver. If we can't pass this level, I am afraid we will be in big trouble."

“Since I took charge of the household affairs, I have known that the Yueguo Mansion is a large and powerful family. Everyone in the mansion, from the grand master and grand mistress to the young masters, and even the maids and servants who are not presentable, needs money for their daily food, clothing and other necessities.

Others outside may think that our Yueguo Mansion is prosperous, but the daily expenses are huge, and the Madam and my sister don't care about anything, leaving Yue'er alone to support the family.

The eldest master Tong Wenjie naturally has his sister to worry about. Poor Yue'er, I come from a poor family and don't have a capable mother's family, but I have good intentions for my child.

Yue'er also wanted to leave some money for Wencai and Wenyu, the two siblings, to rely on for the future.

But I am also dependent on the master. If one day the master forgets me, Yue'er will not be able to survive.

I feel so miserable, I just want to get more money. Even if the master has a new sister in the future, I have to live strong for my children. "
