The emperor is already fifty-three years old this year.

According to gossip, since the emperor's health was poor last year, several princes have been taking actions in private.

The former crown prince was the eldest legitimate son, but unfortunately he was unlucky and had a short life. He passed away last year.

The second prince, Prince Ning, was born to Consort Yuan.

The third prince, Prince Jin, was born to Consort Xiao Xianfei;

The fourth prince, Prince Yu, was born to a mother of a lower rank and a weak family, so he had no competitiveness for the throne.

The choice for the crown prince now is between Prince Ning and Prince Jin.

The imperial concubine had been in the palace for decades, and the emperor still favored her. Among the several princes, the emperor also favored Prince Ning.

But before the King of Jin was enfeoffed, he fought in the frontier for ten years and made countless military achievements. After returning to Beijing, he provided disaster relief to the people several times, which won him more people's hearts.

The two princes were equally matched, and even the court officials were waiting and watching, let alone ordinary people who could not tell who was better.

Liu Weiran thought for a moment and replied, "I heard from my husband that it seemed to be the second prince, His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

"Great!" Qin Jingchang couldn't help but clap his hands vigorously, but then he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly put on a straight face and coughed lightly.

He now completely believes that what Liu Weiran said is true.

Qin Jingchang sighed repeatedly and turned to look at his messy study. For a moment, he didn't know where to put such a precious bracelet.

Liu Weiran suddenly smiled and called out, "Uncle."

Qin Jingchang came back to his senses, "What's the matter?"

Liu Weiran said: "Since Uncle knows that the bracelet is a space artifact, I think he should also know that this artifact cannot be made to recognize its master by anyone, right?"

Qin Jingchang smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Liu Weiran stroked his temples complacently and said, "Weiran was the owner of the bracelet in the previous life, so in this life, as long as Miss Qin is gone, Weiran will definitely be able to recognize the bracelet as his master."

Qin Jingchang's expression remained unchanged, and he motioned for Liu Weiran to continue.

Liu Weiran said: "After the bracelet successfully recognizes its owner, all the wealth inside will be given to uncle. Weiran only wants this bracelet."

Qin Jingchang laughed, "You want the holy spring inside, right?"

Liu Weiran was stunned, and immediately realized that her mother had already told Qin Jingchang what she had said before.

Her face turned red and she smiled awkwardly, "My uncle knows everything?"

Seeing Qin Jingchang's expression of surprise, Liu Weiran quickly explained: "If Weiran had selfish motives, he would not have given the bracelet back to his uncle."

Qin Jingchang nodded and said, "Don't worry, your uncle will not treat you unfairly."

Liu Weiran felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly.

Qin Jingchang thought for a moment and said, "The things in the bracelet cannot be taken out for the time being. Now it is the end of the year and my uncle is in urgent need of money. You should talk to my elder brother and his wife about the one thousand taels of silver. My uncle will not return it to you for the time being."

"When the treasure in the bracelet is taken out, your uncle will not only give you 50,000 taels of silver, but also a farm and two shops as a dowry."

Such a huge benefit, but you only give this little, and you still have the nerve to say it out loud?

What a stingy person! He is like a thief using straw to blow on the fire.

Liu Weiran curled his lips in his heart, but his face was filled with gratitude as he said, "Thank you, uncle. As for mother, I will explain everything to her."

Seeing Qin Jingchang staring at the bracelet and not saying anything, Liu Weiran quickly stood up and left.

After Liu Weiran left and the door was closed, when Qin Jingchang was the only one left in the room, Qin Jingchang suddenly picked up the bracelet, put it to his lips and kissed it hard several times.

Baby bracelet!

What a good baby!

He is going to get rich!

His Qin family has really become rich this time!

A true meteoric rise to prominence with unlimited prospects!

Hahaha!

Qin Jingchang walked around the room excitedly, wishing he could jump a few times.

He looked at the bracelet and suddenly remembered the warehouse full of dowry: Since that dead girl put all the other things in the house into the space, why did she only leave that warehouse full of dowry?

What kind of trap is hidden here?

Qin Jingchang slapped his forehead hard: No, no!

That damn girl could never have expected that Wei Ran would come back from five years later and happen to know the secret of the bracelet.

If he couldn't find what she had hidden and wanted to pay off the loan shark he had borrowed, he would definitely take the dowry money first.

And this dowry book was entrusted by that dead girl to the clan for safekeeping.

With the previous agreement of making up for any loss, the clan would definitely not allow me to embezzle the dowry.

When she agreed to marry Baocai, was it just a delaying tactic?

When Yi'er got into the sedan chair and was heading to Cheng's house with her dowry, that damn girl suddenly appeared and exposed the truth about Yi'er's substitutionary marriage in public.

Cheng Mao would definitely not admit that he had already reached a marriage exchange agreement with her. As long as the dowry could be brought into the mansion, it would be the same for his son to marry anyone.

After that damn girl enters Cheng's house, we will join forces with the clan to check the dowry...

By then, the East and West Palaces had no other properties except those shops and farms.

After the embezzled money was used to pay off the debt, if they wanted to make up for the dowry, they would have to sell the shop and land. They might even lose the house they were living in!

Qin Jingchang's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and kicked the chair beside him away: This damn bitch!

Just like her parents who died early, her mind is truly unfathomable and treacherous!

Fortunately, he felt that this matter was suspicious at the beginning and resisted the urge to use the dowry money.

otherwise……

Qin Jingchang felt a pang of fear in his heart: he had been planning for half his life and finally had the upper hand in winning.

If I am not careful, I might fall into the trap of that damn girl and end up losing both my money and my life.

That bitch!

Damn it!

Qin Jingchang walked around the room with a gloomy face.

After thinking for a long time, he finally opened the door and said to the uneasy Liu Yinghua outside: "Come in."

Liu Yinghua hurried in, tears in her eyes, and said, "Master, Dan'er and the others were naughty, they didn't mean it..."

Qin Jingchang quickly raised his hand to stop her and asked, "How much silver do we have left in our house?"

"There are still 1,500 taels left."

This one thousand taels of silver almost used up all the jewelry Liu Yinghua had made over the years.

Her heart was bleeding, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, "Do you still want to give it to Erni?"

Qin Jingchang said, "No need. I won't give this silver to my eldest brother's family for the time being. You can bring one thousand taels here first. I need it urgently."

When Liu Yinghua heard that it would not be given to her eldest brother's family, she felt relieved, but then she heard her husband say that he needed it urgently, and she suddenly felt heartbroken.

She stammered, "Master, now all the jewelry that can be sold in our house has been sold out. Today, all the valuable treasures in the master's study were broken..."

Qin Jingchang immediately interrupted Liu Yinghua and said, "Stop talking nonsense and bring the silver!"

Liu Yinghua felt bitter, but she had to return to the main courtyard and gave Qin Jingchang one thousand taels.

Qin Jingchang left the house immediately.

He thought about it: the day after tomorrow is the 57th day memorial for his elder brother and sister-in-law. With only the servants in his house, that damn girl might find an opportunity and bite him hard.

He wanted to ask that person for help and must catch that dead girl as soon as possible.

If she refuses to hand over what's in the bracelet, just kill her!
