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

Liu Yinghua opened her mouth, and after a brief moment of unconsciousness, she leaned back and fell directly to the ground, crying loudly, "I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore! Oh my God, this is going to take my life..."

Qin Jingchang's mouth was dry and his heart was bitter. He couldn't help but give Liu Yinghua another knife. "All the property of the East Palace is gone. Who would believe this if we told others? We promised that person 60% of the wealth. He said that it must not be less than 2 million taels. How much money does Big Brother have? They know it better than the two of us."

Liu Yinghua was stunned, tears streaming down her face. "But where can we find these two million taels? There is nothing in this mansion except a house! If they don't believe me, just let them come and see!"

Qin Jingchang sneered, "Who do you think they are? Do they care whether you have it or not? They only care about the result, not whether you live or die."

Liu Yinghua cried and asked, "What should we do?"

"What should we do?" Qin Jingchang exhaled and said, "The best thing to do now is to quickly catch that damn girl back."

I hope that girl is still alive.

Just put the blame of all this on that girl and hand her over.

At least, that person won't blame all the mistakes on himself.

Qin Jingchang looked down at Liu Yinghua, who was covered in dirt, and said with disgust, "Go back home now and bring me all the silver we can get out of the house. I'll go ask the village head named Zhang to see if I can ask them to help put in a good word for me."

Liu Yinghua looked at him blankly and said in a tearful voice, "Master, you forgot that we only had a little over a thousand taels of silver in our house. In order to prevent that damn girl from smuggling silver bills and deeds, I spent four hundred taels of silver to buy her clothes. Today, I also took out five hundred taels of silver to pay the bill of the East Mansion."

She burst into tears, tears streaming down her face, grief-stricken, "The other day, Ning'er and his two brothers just paid their tuition for next year, and also gave the mansion their monthly salary... There are less than two hundred taels left in the account..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jingchang spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

Liu Yinghua was terrified, and rushed over to him, crying hysterically, "Master, wake up. Master!"

She pinched Qin Jingchang's philtrum hard, and her snot and saliva fell on Qin Jingchang's face in long threads. "If you die, what will I do?"

Qin Jingchang only felt a piercing pain in his philtrum. When he opened his eyes, he saw a lump of shiny mucus hanging down towards him from under Liu Yinghua's two black nostrils above his head.

He quickly pushed Liu Yinghua aside and said angrily, "I'm not dead yet, it's too early for you to cry!"

Liu Yinghua was pushed to the ground, not caring about the pain, and asked crying, "Master, what should we do now?"

Qin Jingchang let out a heavy breath and said, "First, give me the remaining money in our house. I'll give you as much as you can get. Didn't you just give out the monthly allowance? Take it back. There are also some children and two concubines. I'll give them all to you."

Liu Yinghua asked with a twinkling look in her eyes: "If we give it all to others, what will we eat in the future?"

"What to eat?"

Qin Jingchang grinned, his sinister eyes seemed to hide an ice knife, "We have to protect the guy who's eating first!"

The two supported each other and stood up from the ground.

After returning to the West Mansion, Qin Jingchang called his three sons, one daughter and two concubines to the main room.

The servants’ monthly wages added up to less than thirty taels, which was not enough to cover the entire job.

Besides, Qin Jingchang was too embarrassed to tell anyone about this kind of thing.

If those gossipy servants were to talk about him everywhere outside the mansion, would he be able to live as a human being in the future?

He originally thought that all his children were very filial and would do their best to help their parents if they encountered difficulties.

As a result, as soon as Qin Jingchang opened his mouth, his eldest son Qin Anning said, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to take it out. I just went to Wenchangzhai yesterday to buy pens and ink. Dad also knows that pens, ink, paper and inkstones are the most expensive. In the past, my uncle bought them and sent them to me. Now we have to spend money to buy them ourselves."

Qin Antai also continued, "Yes, mother, I was thinking of talking to you and asking if you could raise my monthly allowance. Thirty taels of silver this month is not enough. My two concubines don't have to go to school, so they still have twenty taels each month."

Qin Anwen also nodded.

Qin Baoyi bit her lip, took out the purse from her waist, and gently placed it on the first table. She said, "My daughter usually likes to buy rouge, powder, clothes and jewelry. Now I have less than two hundred taels of cash, and I will give it all to you, dad and mom."

My daughter is so thoughtful and sensible!

Liu Yinghua's eyes were red and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Qin Jingchang looked at the small pink purse on the table beside him, feeling mixed emotions.

He wanted to use his daughter's dowry money first.

But there is another dowry book in the clan.

If you want to use the dowry money, you have to discuss it with the clan first.

All the valuables in the East Mansion disappeared overnight. Even he, who had witnessed it with his own eyes, found it hard to believe.

It is even more impossible for people in the tribe to believe it.

One can only think that Qin Jingchang and his wife came up with this excuse in order to avoid providing money to the clan school.

If this matter were to get out, it would have a negative impact on the future reputation of the three An Ning brothers.

Qin Jingchang turned his attention to the two concubines: Bingqing and Yujiao.

The two concubines looked at each other and whispered, "Everything I have was given by the master. If the master needs it, I should give it out. But my monthly salary has been given to my family. Why don't I go back and see if I can get it back?"

When Liu Yinghua heard this, she was immediately furious. "You two are such ungrateful people. You actually subsidize outsiders with the money given to you by the government?!"

Bingqing's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at Qin Changjing aggrievedly, "Doesn't Madam often take money back to her parents' home? The master also agreed to it."

Qin Jingchang looked at his concubine's tearful face and softened his heart. "Alright. How much silver do they have?"

He looked at Liu Yinghua and said, "Speaking of giving money to your parents, didn't you give Baocai some money some time ago? Go back now and take the money back for emergency use. After this matter is over, pay them double."

Liu Yinghua almost got anxious when she heard this, but then she heard about the double compensation and nodded, "Well, I'll go back right away."

Qin An Ning listened for a while, and suddenly asked: "Dad, what happened? Why do you suddenly need to raise money?"

Qin Jingchang knew that his eldest son always had his own ideas, so he winked at Liu Yinghua.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yinghua quickly sent her two sons, one daughter and two concubines away.

After the door was closed, Qin Jingchang told the story of how all the property in the East Mansion had evaporated overnight.

Qin An Ning frowned, took a breath, and said, "Although there was a rumor about ghosts in the East Mansion some time ago, my son still thinks that this incident was not caused by ghosts, but by human beings."
