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

Later today, my parents' coffins will be brought back home, so there are some things that need to be discussed in advance.

Donghe quickly agreed and went to the second gate in person.

Nanny Chun asked in confusion, "Miss, do you really want to hand over all the affairs of the mansion to the Second Madam?"

Qin Shu said, "Why not? I have to keep vigil for my parents. If I don't hand over the affairs of this mansion to my second uncle and second aunt, who else can I hand over to?"

"But……"

Qin Shu reached out and held Madam Chun's hand, "Madam, just be at ease. When we get to the front yard, you don't need to say anything when Madam stands there. Don't stand out, or you will be regarded as the first to stand out."

Since Second Aunt is going to take over the affairs of the East Palace, she will definitely kill a chicken to scare the monkey to establish her own authority.

And Nanny Chun is the most trusted and respected maid of my mother, so Second Aunt will definitely find a way to take action against Nanny Chun.

As long as Nanny Chun doesn't get involved, Second Aunt's anger will naturally not fall on Nanny Chun.

She has to protect those who are loyal to her.

The elders and my second uncle and aunt came very quickly, looking somewhat impatient.

It was as if everyone was craning their necks and waiting, and as soon as Qin Shu called, they flew over immediately.

After the elders of the clan and the second uncle and aunt were seated, Qin Shu ordered the servants, "Go and bring Xiao Tao over."

Upon hearing this, Second Aunt immediately became embarrassed.

She sat on the chair, her eyes rolling around, and she kept moving back and forth as if there were thorns under her butt.

This caused the elders in the clan and her second uncle to look at her one after another.

Xiaotao came with cotton cloth wrapped on her head.

The blood on his face had been washed clean, and he looked less disheveled.

As soon as she entered the room, she lowered her head and knelt on the ground in the middle of the hall.

Qin Shu held the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes. Tears flowed before she spoke. She choked and said, "I invited all the uncles and my second uncle and second aunt to come here today for my parents' funeral tomorrow. Also, the future plans of the mansion."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention immediately shifted from Xiaotao to Qin Shu.

Those pairs of longing eyes looked at Qin Shu eagerly, like wolves and tigers.

Qin Shu said, "Logically, as a girl waiting to get married, all matters in the mansion should be decided by the clan and my second uncle. But Shu'er is worried that because her parents just passed away, there are some things that the clan elders and my second uncle are embarrassed to mention."

"There is no one in charge in the mansion, and the rules have been lost. We cannot let outsiders see us as a laughing stock. That's why I asked the elders of the clan and my second uncle to come to the mansion to discuss the matter."

The clan leader and the second uncle looked at each other and then quickly looked away.

They all knew what Qin Shu meant.

It's nothing more than a question of ownership of Dongfu's property.

They were not embarrassed to bring it up, and they had discussed it several times when the news of Qin Jingyuan and his wife's death came back.

It's just that a final consensus has not yet been reached.

Just as the clan leader was about to speak, Qin Shu suddenly said, "The reason why I was in a hurry to ask the clan elders and my second uncle to come here is because when I woke up this morning, I remembered the dowry money that my mother had prepared for me. That was the money that my mother had saved up little by little on a daily basis, and I didn't expect that someone had taken away one thousand taels of silver."

When the clan leader heard this, he immediately became anxious, "The mansion was robbed? Then report it to the police immediately!"

Even the dowry money has been moved, so what about the treasures in Jingyuan and his wife’s room and the public property?

Jingyuan and his wife had only a daughter and no son, and their daughter was engaged.

According to clan rules, these properties belong to the clan.

This is all their money!

The patriarch and the elders all felt heart bleeding.

Qin Shu turned her gaze to Second Aunt, "What do you think?"

The clan leader also looked at Liu Yinghua and said slowly and heavily, "Yes, Second Brother, didn't you say before that you would take over the household affairs of the East Mansion? This matter cannot be taken lightly."

Another elder quickly took over the conversation, "The one thousand taels of silver were taken as promised. But the coffins of Jingyuan and his wife haven't even arrived home yet, and their house has been robbed. If this gets out, wouldn't the whole Jinzhou population be laughing at it?"

Qin Shu looked sad. "Yes, Shu'er has arranged a marriage, but my sisters are still in the boudoir. If this matter gets out, maybe it will be said that the Qin family is full of dirty thieves. Girls in the family, will you still talk about marriage in the future?"

Second Aunt's face turned pale and blue, and she stammered, "There is no thief. I asked Xiao Tao to embezzle this money yesterday."

Qin Shu held the handkerchief to hide the sarcasm on the corner of her lips, and asked in confusion: "Could it be that there is no money in the public account of the mansion?"

Second Aunt Liu Yinghua looked at Aunt Chun unconsciously: when she took the money, she used Aunt Chun's excuse to trip her up. Now Aunt Chun was here, her eyelids drooping and she didn't move.

If the two were contrasted, she would be speechless.

Liu Yinghua couldn't help but look at Qin Shu. The little girl's eyes were red from crying, and she looked at her pitifully like a little rabbit. She sat there like a weak willow in the wind, which was really pitiful.

Based on her understanding of Qin Shu, this daughter of a merchant family was raised by her elder brother and sister-in-law to be a useless person who was out of touch with the world.

She has a temper as gentle as cotton on weekdays, and even the maid in the room dares to speak loudly to her.

What was her intention in inviting the elders and their family here today?

However, based on her understanding of Qin Shu, this little girl shouldn't be so cunning.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

Thinking of this, Liu Yinghua laughed and said, "I was very busy yesterday, one thing after another. I couldn't find Nanny Chun, so I was in a hurry and grabbed a maid to ask her about the silver. I didn't expect that this maid was the eldest maid in charge of my niece's storehouse, so I asked her to withdraw 1,000 taels of silver."

Qin Shu said, "So that's how it is. My niece thought that someone saw that the owner of the mansion was in trouble and took advantage of the situation to rob. Last night, when Second Aunt was in my niece's room and asked for the house's identification cards and keys, she didn't mention this matter."

She said a little embarrassedly: "Second aunt, you don't know that this silver is the dowry that mother prepared for my niece, and it was not originally in the mansion's account. Now that Second aunt has talked about it, and my niece has brought Nanny Chun here, all the silver used in the mansion during this period will be paid from the public account. Why don't you return the one thousand taels of silver to my niece first?"

Liu Yinghua was reluctant to take out the money she had swallowed.

She stammered, "This was already exchanged yesterday, and I also bought some things. Why don't I ask my niece to pay another 1,000 taels from the public account to make up for your dowry? Anyway, the money in Second Aunt's hands is also to be used for official business in the mansion."

Qin Shu's eyes were cold: Whether it was exchanged or given away, only Second Aunt knew.

However, she took her dowry money and now wants to use the money in her own house to fill this hole?

Even the Minister of Revenue is not as good at budgeting as she is!

It is indeed an insatiable thing!
