Chapter 28: Consider it after giving birth

"As long as you mortgage the title deed of the Marquis's mansion to me, old lady, I can borrow as much as you want within 100,000 taels of silver and repay it at any time..."

Mrs. Qin's voice was still gentle.

However, to the old lady's ears, it sounded completely different.

This mansion of the Marquis is located in the best area of ​​the capital, and money alone cannot buy it...

The Dingyuan Marquisate has been a noble family for generations, and they have lived in this mansion for a hundred years. But today, someone wants her to mortgage the title deed of the mansion!

Madam Yan was extremely furious at this moment.

She didn't expect that the sickly lady of the Qin family had such a big appetite!

"The Qin family knew something was wrong with the Marquis' Mansion, and while they wouldn't have helped, they actually tried to take advantage of the situation. Madam Qin is truly calculating!"

Madam Qin slowly raised the corners of her lips, as gentle as ever: "Old Madam, you are joking. If you don't want to, you can ask others if they are willing to help the Marquis' Mansion at this time. My family has been seriously ill for many years, and our family funds have been almost depleted due to seeking medical treatment and medicine. We really don't have the capital to lend a hand. I hope Old Madam... forgive me."

Mrs. Qin is not the kind of person who is stingy.

With just one word from Qin Mingzhu, she could take out not only 100,000 taels, but even 200,000 or 300,000 taels in one go.

But my daughter obviously doesn't want to.

Things have come to this point, and both sides have made their stances clear. The atmosphere in the lobby is really heavy.

Although General Qin was not interested in money, he was very concerned about his daughter. Although he had become a disabled person, he did not think that anyone could bully his daughter.

If a daughter wants to go back to her parents' home, it must be because she is unhappy living in her husband's home.

There were thieves and explosions in the Marquis's mansion, and he was also very worried.

The atmosphere in the lobby was tense. General Qin pondered for a moment and took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.

"Madam Yan, my Qin family only has Mingzhu as a daughter. Ultimately, she will inherit all the family business in the future. I deeply sympathize with the Marquis' Mansion, but in the end, whether to help or not depends on whether my daughter is willing to do so."

General Qin narrowed his eyes. He didn't speak so pretentiously and didn't even bother to beat around the bush.

Unlike Mrs. Qin, he was a rough man and didn't want to make excuses with high-sounding words.

Old Madam Yan became even more annoyed. Wasn't it because Qin Mingzhu was so tight-lipped about her dowry and refused to give it out no matter what, that she set her sights on the Qin couple?

I really don’t know why a dying person still holds so much money!

But she didn't dare to break up with him now.

Qin Mingzhu was already difficult to talk to, and the Qin couple were even more stubborn. She kept smiling as she looked at General Qin, "General, you're right. I just don't want to embarrass Mingzhu, let alone worry about her dowry, so I put aside my pride and asked to borrow money from you two. But Madam Qin's conditions are really too harsh. We're family, and she wants documents, interest, and the deed to the Marquis's mansion. She's simply... worse than an outsider!"

Madam Qin replied calmly, "That's different. Even if the old lady used the land deed as collateral, my wife and I would only give it to Mingzhu. Can't the old lady even trust her own daughter-in-law? Mingzhu is still a member of the Marquisate, and the land deed has only been managed by someone else. She hasn't left the Marquisate, so how can she be inferior to an outsider?"

"The deed to the mansion is the foundation of our family. If this gets out and our family uses the deed as collateral to exchange for money, how will I explain this to the ancestors of the Yan family in the future?"

"Old Madam, you're wrong. This matter is known only to heaven and earth, you and me. How could it be known to outsiders? I also said that the deed is in the hands of your daughter-in-law. Mingzhu is still pregnant and there's no guarantee that she will give birth to an heir to the Yan family. This deed is rightfully hers and the child's. Consider it a birth gift from me, your grandmother, to the little prince who will be born in the Marquis' Mansion."

Mrs. Qin was firm in her attitude.

Want money to get through the difficult times?

Yes, you can use the title deed of the Marquis’s mansion as collateral.

Otherwise, there is no way.

Old Madam Yan really wanted the silver.

If we can borrow 100,000 taels, it won't be a loss after all. It will be enough for the whole family of the marquis to live on for many years.

This is equivalent to completely solving the urgent problem.

But the land deed is the foundation of the Marquisate. If it is really given to Qin Mingzhu...

Old Madam Yan was still somewhat unwilling.

She didn't overturn the table, but instead held back her anger, gritted her teeth, and said with a smile, "Madam Qin, can we discuss this matter? I can write the IOU, but let's forget about the land deed."

Madam Qin said, "Old Madam, you're being disingenuous. I, Xu Jiaoyue, never do business that would lose money. Even brothers have to settle accounts, let alone in-laws."

Madam Yan's expression was slightly distorted.

That smile is almost gone.

Mrs. Qin shook Qin Mingzhu's hand and looked at her daughter with concern.

"I'll go back with my mother today. You can tell me when you want to come back."

"Um."

Qin Mingzhu just felt particularly confident standing here today.

Both her parents were completely on her side, helping her to target Old Madam Yan. Her mother even made the old lady speechless with just a few words.

This feeling was better than ever before, and it made her heart, which had been floating in the air and had no one to rely on, finally settle down.

Mrs. Qin tilted her head and glanced at her man.

"Brother Heng, let's go home."

"good."

General Qin's voice was gentle and he answered without hesitation.

After saying this, the two of them really wanted to leave the Marquis' Mansion.

Old Madam Yan was a little anxious at this moment.

Now, it is not the Qin family that relies on her, but she who needs the Qin family's help.

Old Madam Yan immediately stood up with the help of a cane. The reason why she kept using a cane was because her health was not very good.

"Wait a moment!"

Mrs. Qin didn't even turn her head, but held Qin Mingzhu's hand tightly and walked towards the door.

Madam Yan hurriedly shouted, "I agree. I agree to all the conditions Madam Qin said, as long as the Qin family can come up with 100,000 taels of silver..."

Madam Qin paused for a moment.

She turned around, her face slightly thoughtful. "Fifty thousand taels. If the old lady agrees, I'll have someone deliver the silver to you later. Hand over the money and the land deed in one hand."

As long as the title deed is obtained.

From then on, the entire mansion belonged to Qin Mingzhu.

A land deed cannot be mortgaged just by saying so. It also needs to be stamped by the government and go through the formal process.

In other words, Qin Mingzhu will then rightfully own the entire mansion.

“Okay…sure!”

Madam Yan seemed to be squeezing out this voice from between her teeth.

Some of what Madam Qin said was indeed correct. Even if the land deed was given to Qin Mingzhu, Qin Mingzhu was still a member of her mansion.

This is equivalent to getting 50,000 taels of silver for free.

Mrs. Qin was satisfied.

However, she spoke again: "This is only the first request. Since you, Old Madam, have already agreed, let's talk about the second one. I will take Mingzhu home. After the child is born, she will consider whether to return to the Marquis' Mansion..."
