The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 219 I Listen to Your Sister

At this moment, in the garden, Shen Yanxi's hand holding the teacup paused, and met Jiang Mushi's pretended expectant expression. The next moment, he put down the teacup and took out a few books from the pile in front of him.

"You don't need to read these books. There may not be much content on the test. I will sort them out separately."

Jiang Mushi smiled in his heart, but frowned deliberately, "Without these few books, I'm afraid it won't work."

"It will be good for you to read the rest."

Jiang Mushi wanted to speak again, but when he saw Jiang Suining and Lin Ziqing walking over, he was stunned.

"Sister, why did you come back together?"

Jiang Suining turned around when he heard that and frowned when he saw Lin Ziqing standing with Jiang Suining.

Lin Ziqing looked at Jiang Mushi with dissatisfaction, "What brother-in-law? What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister and I are just friends, okay?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yanxi secretly and Lin Ziqing added another sentence.

"Of course, your sister would definitely not like me."

Fortunately, he saw it in time and explained it. He probably knew about the contact between Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining, and he could guess what Shen Yanxi was thinking. Isn't Jiang Mushi just making hatred for himself?

Jiang Mushi was a little embarrassed. He thought that since Lin Ziqing heard it, then his sister must have heard it too. He quickly looked at Jiang Suining and said, "Sister, I was just joking."

He just wanted to provoke Shen Yanxi and see how the other party would react. As for the matter of Lin Ziqing becoming his brother-in-law, he had never thought about it.

"You still have time to joke around. It seems like you have a lot of free time." Jiang Suining chuckled, "Lord Shen, there's no need to help him summarize the contents of the book. Let him read it slowly by himself."

"Okay." Shen Yanxi's gaze stayed on Jiang Suining and he responded with a smile.

"Lord Shen, you have already said it all just now, how can you go back on your word?" Jiang Mushi spoke immediately.

"I can't help it." Shen Yanxi changed his expressionless look, his eyes were filled with smiles, "I'll listen to your sister."

Jiang Mushi: "..."

Meeting Shen Yanxi's smiling gaze, Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows slightly and just looked at him without saying much.

On the contrary, Shen Yanxi's expression looked a little unnatural when he was looked at by her, and his ears turned slightly red when he looked away.

Looking at the two of them, Lin Ziqing said to Jiang Mushi very considerately: "I just happen to have something to ask you, let's go somewhere else to talk."

Although Jiang Mushi felt helpless, since Jiang Suining had spoken, he finally resigned himself to his fate and took the books back and left with Lin Ziqing.

Jiang Suining and the others didn't chat for too long. When Lin Ziqing and Jiang Mushi returned to the back garden, Shen Yanxi had already left. Jiang Suining also returned to his own yard to arrange the next matters regarding the saltpeter mine.

On the second day, Jiang Suining took Xier, Lin Jie and some guards, left the imperial city, and went to check the saltpeter mines in person according to the address given by Lin Ziqing.

A few days later, in the Marquis of Changning's mansion, Han Nian'an and Zhou Yihong were delighted when they saw the silver that was sent to them.

"Husband, in just four days, we have earned one thousand taels of silver out of ten thousand taels!" Han Nian'an was so excited when she saw the huge sum of silver.

Zhou Yihong didn't expect the money to arrive so quickly. "No wonder so many people make fortunes by lending money at interest. They can actually make money like this!"

"Husband, you are amazing. You can actually find this way."

Han Nian'an looked at Zhou Yihong with admiration, but she was thinking in her heart that if this method existed, not only would Zhou Yihong be able to pay off his gambling debt, but she would also be able to live a more prosperous life than Jiang Suining.

Zhou Yihong felt elated again when he heard Han Nian'an's praise, but when he looked at the one thousand taels in front of him, he quickly frowned again.

Although the money came quickly, the principal of 10,000 taels was still too little. After all, he still had so many gambling debts to pay off, and he couldn't rely on accumulating 1,000 taels over and over again.

On the second day, Zhou Yihong went to the accounting office to withdraw another 20,000 taels of silver. He even sold the jewelry he had given to Han Nian'an before and some ornaments in his courtyard, and raised the money to give to Wang Lang.

After Wang Lang received the money, he sent several thousand taels of profit a few days later, but at the same time he also brought news that the other two were already urging him to pay off their gambling debts.

Zhou Yihong's joy at discovering a way to make money did not last long before he began to worry that they would make a big fuss. He made up his mind to invest more capital so that he could earn enough money as soon as possible.

However, he has already withdrawn 50,000 taels in the past two days. If he continues to withdraw more, Qin will definitely become suspicious when she finds out.

Zhou Yihong was extremely anxious and finally decided to go all out. He took advantage of the day when Qin went to burn incense to directly withdraw 100,000 taels of silver. He even went to the warehouse on the pretext of choosing gifts and took out a lot of valuable items. Finally, he collected 150,000 taels of silver in one go and gave it to Wang Lang.

When it was time to withdraw the money, the accountant felt something was wrong, but since the prince had asked, it was not easy for him as a servant to refuse. So he could only wait anxiously. As soon as Qin came back, he immediately went to report the news.

"Fifteen thousand taels?" Qin was stunned. Even if it was just to smooth over relationships, why would it cost so much money?

"Madam, that's right. There is no money in the account now. Moreover, the prince went to the storehouse and took away a lot of valuables, at least 70,000 or 80,000 taels."

"Go and call the prince to me immediately." Qin's face looked grim. She was already doubting the reasons Zhou Yihong and Han Nian'an had given before.

After the servants went there, they found that Zhou Yihong had not returned to the mansion yet, and Qin had someone bring Han Nian'an over.

Now she no longer believed what Han Nian'an had said before about smoothing relations. Under her questioning, Han Nian'an could not hold back and confessed to the matter of lending money at interest. Of course, she did not dare to tell anyone about the gambling debts.

When Qin heard that Zhou Yihong was actually lending money at interest, she almost fainted. She cursed Han Nian'an and immediately sent someone to bring Zhou Yihong back.

Zhou Yihong was mentally prepared. After all, Qin would definitely know about the use of so much money. He just wanted to act first and report later while Qin was not at home.

When he met Qin after returning home, he was still calm, "Don't worry, mother, I only temporarily embezzled the money in the account, and I will definitely get it back later."

"You bastard, don't you know that according to the law, our mansion is absolutely not allowed to touch such things? Do you still want to inherit the title?"

"Mother, my son did not come in person, but went through a middleman. Nothing will happen to him," Zhou Yihong explained.

"This is even more stupid. How can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong if you hand over such a large sum of money to someone else?"

Qin was extremely annoyed, and then she realized something was wrong.

"No, you don't usually care much about money, why are you trying so hard to make money now?"
