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

Qin Jingchang had just finished two cups of tea when his eldest son Qin Anning, who had gone out to look for someone, also returned home.

As soon as Qin Anning entered the room, Qin Jingchang and Liu Yinghua jumped up at the same time and asked in unison: "How is it?"

Qin An Ning sighed and shook his head gently. "My son did find out about a few families. One is the farm lady at the northeast corner gate, one is responsible for sweeping the east courtyard, and the other two are the ladies guarding the small corner gate. They all said that they have never seen anything shipped out of the East Mansion."

He had been running all day and had not eaten or drunk anything. He was tired and hungry.

But found nothing.

Qin Jingchang walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

Qin An Ning thought for a moment and then asked, "Dad, did my uncle build some secret room in the mansion?"

Isn't it said that wealthy families would build a secret room or secret passage in their yard or house?

Once a dangerous situation occurs, will he hide in a secret room, or escape from the mansion through a secret passage?

The richer a family is, the more afraid they are of death.

Qin Jingchang's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist and hit it hard in his palm, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

He turned around and walked out, instructing the two as he walked, "Go call An Tai and An Wen, and we'll go look for them together."

Liu Yinghua quickly stopped him and said, "Master, you should eat something first. It won't be too late to go later at night."

She asked the maid to serve the food, and instructed: "Send a portion to the young lady and cousin in the back, and tell them that they don't need to come over to pay their respects. After dinner, if it's late, just rest by yourself."

After the girl took the order and left, Qin Jingchang frowned and asked, "Why is Erni here again?"

Liu Yinghua said: "It's all because of that bracelet."

Qin Jingchang was so annoyed that he was furious. He shouted angrily, "Tell her to go back quickly! Why is she causing trouble at this time?"

Besides, their family was already busy looking for the missing property in the East Mansion. If Liu Erni was sensible, she would not come at this time.

Qin Jingchang asked again: "What kind of bracelet is it?"

Liu Yinghua said: "It's just a blood chalcedony bracelet. The color is pretty, but it's not worth much silver."

"It's not worth much, just give it to her."

Qin Jingchang thought for a moment and said, "Tell her that if she insists on having the bracelet, then the one thousand taels of silver will not be given to her family. We can talk about it after this hurdle is overcome."

Liu Yinghua had no choice but to agree.

I thought Liu Weiran would complain, but I didn't expect her to agree so readily.

She didn't even have dinner and just asked the mansion's carriage to take her out of the city.

As soon as night fell, the doors of the Qin Mansion were closed.

Qin Jingchang and Liu Yinghua brought their three sons and one daughter to the main courtyard of the East Palace, each holding an iron rod in their hands.

At Qin Jingchang's command, everyone dispersed.

There was banging and clanging everywhere for most of the night.

It was not until dawn that Qin Jingchang completely gave up.

He was covered in dirt and sweat, sitting on the ground in a miserable state. His gloomy face was frighteningly dark, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright.

Liu Yinghua and Qin Baoyi huddled in the distance, huddled together tightly.

No one dared to come forward, so Qin An Ning had to step forward and say, "Dad, do you want to go to my eldest sister's yard and take a look?"

Qin Anwen suddenly said, "I often read in my textbooks that wealthy families usually build secret rooms under the rockery in the garden..."

Qin Jingchang's eyes lit up instantly, and he finally became a little more popular.

He jumped up from the ground and said with a smile, "Why didn't I think of that? Wen'er is really smart. Yi'er, Tai'er and your mother go to the garden, Ning'er, Wen'er and I will go to the rockery in the front yard and take a look."

Liu Yinghua quickly agreed and took her children to Qin Shu's courtyard.

The three of them also went to the front yard.

The entire front yard was turned upside down, and the rockery was knocked all over, but the legendary secret room was not found.

On the other side, Liu Yinghua also gained nothing.

When Qin Jingchang brought his two sons to the garden, Liu Yinghua was standing in front of Qin Shu's wardrobe in a daze.

He walked up to Liu Yinghua and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Master." Liu Yinghua pointed at the empty closet and said, "I remember that the clothes that the dead girl took off before leaving the house were hung in this closet by Nanny Chun herself."

At that time, it was full of clothes.

Qin Jingchang suddenly asked, "Didn't they say there are two more maids in this courtyard?"

Qin Baoyi replied: "No? When Yi'er and mother came in, the gate was closed."

And there was obviously a thin layer of dust on the table.

It's obvious that it hasn't been cleaned for a long time.

So, not long after Qin Shu left the house, the two maids also left.

After hearing this, Qin Jingchang stood there in a daze for a long time.

As he was standing there for a while, he suddenly laughed softly.

Now he finally understood: when Qin Shu left home, she had no intention of coming back.

All the predicaments he is facing now are the traps set for him by that damn girl!

Why didn't he take that damn girl seriously at first? !

Is it because she looks so humble, cowardly, weak and helpless?

In the silent night, the owl-like laughter made Liu Yinghua's scalp tingle.

She quietly took a step back and hid behind her daughter.

Qin Jingchang was laughing, and suddenly he picked up the iron bar in his hand and smashed it hard at the empty furniture beside him.

While smashing, he shouted loudly: "Where did they go?! Where did they go! Where? Where?!"

Seeing his crazy look, several people were also worried.

They have also been looking forward to these good days for a long time.

The kind of free life where you no longer have to wait for others’ charity and can buy whatever you want.

I want to experience the grandeur of spending money lavishly.

Such a day seems to be just around the corner, but it is like a cloud that suddenly floats across the clear sky and disappears quietly.

This kind of gap is hard for anyone to accept.

Qin An Ning couldn't bear to see his father like this, and his mother was afraid of his father.

He had no choice but to step forward and persuade him: "Dad, don't we still have the shop in Gongzhong? As long as the shop is still there, we will always make money."

Qin Jingchang had disheveled hair, and he gasped and shook his head slightly.

Doesn't he understand this principle?

But how to run the shop?

How to manage it?

He doesn't understand at all!

Moreover, there was the usury of 50,000 taels of silver that he borrowed.

The annual income from these shops alone cannot keep up with the speed at which interest accumulates.

That is the abyss that can truly drain him completely!

With every day that passes, the interest rate will increase rapidly like a snowball.

It won’t be long before this snowball completely crushes him into dust!

If he had not borrowed the money, he could still have lived a worry-free life by renting out the shop.

However, in this world, there is no such thing as "if"...

He remembered that when his elder brother first started his business, he invited him to invest and share the dividends.

But his mother said that he was a scholar and should not be involved in these mundane things.

The eldest brother is a member of their family, and he should have half of the money they earn.

So over the years, although his eldest brother bought a house for him and covered all the expenses of his family, he would also give him several thousand taels of silver every year.

He still felt that his elder brother owed him.

Because of the inequality of wealth between the two families.

now……

Even this unequal wealth will be lost...

Qin Jingchang's cheeks kept twitching. He turned his head to look at Qin Baoyi who was hiding behind Liu Yinghua: As long as he could take out the dowry, the current difficulties would be easily solved.

But that dowry cannot be touched.

Only by marrying into the Cheng family can the three brothers Qin An Ning's careers be easier and more long-lasting.
