Chapter 18 The God of Wealth Takes Action

Speaking of this matter, Nangong Hua felt a little guilty.

He still had 200,000 taels of silver in his hand, and he could collect some of the money from the remaining shops.

"Madam, do you still remember the shops in the mansion?"

Those were the shops he selected based on his memories of his previous life. He chose to buy them when they were in the most difficult time. The profits from the shops he sent over now should be considerable.

"Some of these shops are doing well. When I go to Beijing this time, I'll collect the profit dividends for the next six months, which can also be used in emergencies."

Pu Qiongzhi didn't expect that he had this trick up his sleeve.

She hadn't had time to inspect the manor and shops in the mansion yet. After all, they were a mess when she first took over.

She has been too busy lately.

"Okay, thank you for your help, my husband. I'll ask my father if he can give me some money."

Pu Rongda's coffin couldn't be kept...

Nangong Hua returned to Beijing first to deal with a series of matters, while she stayed in Lin'an to deal with the Ninth Prince.

Before leaving, Pu Qiongzhi performed a play at her doorstep——

"Uncle really can't let go of his sweetheart!"

"You've only been out for a few days, and you're already in a hurry to go back!"

"Who on earth is in the capital? You can't even bear to accompany me back to my parents' home!"

Nangong Hua was confused by her words.

Seeing his wife's tears, he was so anxious that he was speechless, not knowing how to explain this sudden misunderstanding.

Without waiting for him to move, Pu Qiongzhi looked heartbroken, pushed him away, turned around and ran away.

Taking advantage of the gap between the actions, she slipped a note into Nangong Hua's hand and explained that this was done to deal with the Ninth Prince.

Gongsun Huaili had no doubts about Nangong Hua's return to Beijing.

Originally, he was unhappy that he hadn't seen Pu Qiongzhi in the past two days.

Even though the other party was the one in charge of the Pu family, how could business be more important than him, the prince? Couldn't she tell which was more important?

But now, he finally knew.

Ever since Earl Gong Ning passed away, Pu Qiongzhi has come to talk and eat with him every day.

It must have been Nangong Hua who was making a fuss before, so she had no time to take care of herself, or she was afraid that Nangong Hua would be dissatisfied, so she could only endure it and pretend to be distant.

Now that she is angry with Nangong Hua, doesn't that mean she has to get close to him?

It has to be said that Pu Qiongzhi's beauty trap was somewhat bewitching.

In this way, the Ninth Prince thought he had found the crux of the discord between the couple.

He specially sent someone to investigate the vulgar rumors about Nangong Hua.

This is really God’s help!

As expected, that kind of playboy who is only good for show will just hang out with women when he has nothing to do.

As long as he can find his confidante and make Qiongzhi completely disappointed in this useless person, he will be able to win her heart as soon as possible.

…

A few days later, Pu Qiongzhi received a secret letter from Nangong Hua.

He collected dividends from several companies in a scattered and hasty manner, which amounted to 600,000 taels. Together with his 200,000 taels, the total amount was 800,000 taels, which she would be able to transfer from the money house here soon.

This sum of money instantly solved the urgent problem.

Pu Qiongzhi didn't have time to think about anything else for a while. After receiving the news, she immediately asked someone to find Gao Zhicheng without wasting a moment.

After meeting Gao Zhicheng, she took over the land in the west first.

As for the rest, all the shops on the west side were basically booked by her.

She has always been successful, and Gao Zhicheng is waiting for her to add to his political achievements.

However, Gao Zhicheng did not expect her to be so bold.

The shops on the west side are now deserted and the prices are at a low point.

When Gao Zhicheng told Pu Qiongzhi about what happened in the west, he guessed that with her keen sense of smell, she would be able to figure out the key.

He even bought two of them himself.

However, he really didn't expect that Pu Qiongzhi, this madman, would actually take over as much as 60% of the remaining shops in the west!

This way, it cost nearly one hundred thousand taels!

How rich is the Pu family??!

Could it be that a golden phoenix has flown out of their family from the nest of the God of Wealth?

Looking at Gao Zhicheng's fiery eyes, Pu Qiongzhi smiled awkwardly.

In fact, Pu Qiongzhi didn't originally intend to win so many.

But Nangong Hua has plenty of money.

He advised her that since she was already in this situation, she might as well do something big! Fortune and wealth are sought in danger!

Pu Qiongzhi was originally very tempted, but was constrained by money. Now that Nangong Hua said this, she decided to give it a try!

When Pu Rongda found out, he couldn't help but sigh that the couple had the same ambitions!

…

However, not everything goes smoothly.

"Ma'am! Oh no! Something happened!"

"This morning's news: The plague is raging in Wanning Prefecture and is about to spread to Lin'an City!"

"The prefect has issued an order to seal the city gates and restrict entry and exit!"

Yan'er came in hurriedly to report.

"So fast..." Pu Qiongzhi's heart was lifted up.

There is no news from Zhai Lou.

Calculating the date, he should have reached the Guangnan border by now, but now there's no news from him...

The people she sent out to meet them all returned empty-handed.

The only possibility is that something happened on the road!

I just don't know whether he was stopped or encountered a criminal.

If Lin'an City has been sealed off, this batch of medicinal materials may not be able to enter the city. If such a large batch of medicines is left in our hands, we will have to swallow our anger.

This batch of goods is secondary. The key is that people must come back safely!

The main problem now is to find a way to contact Zhai Lou first.

But their people now have no way to leave Lin'an City, and Zhai Lou and his people have no way to send anyone to deliver the letter, so there is no solution to come and go.

The rest of the family started chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha in the past two days, hoping that Zhai Lou and his group would return safely as soon as possible, and that they would be protected from illness and pain.

Pu Qiongzhi didn't believe this.

She knew she had to find a way to take care of them.

Otherwise, they have no hope at all.

She is the one who is in charge of this family, and no matter who she asks, it will be useless.

Pu Qiongzhi personally went to the prefect's residence to explain her reasons, hoping to deliver a letter or go out.

"Yiren, you really... make it too difficult for me!"

"At this critical moment, it's okay to go out and not come back. It's a mess outside now. If you catch the disease by accident, it will be fatal!"

"How important is your matter? Do you really have to go out at this time? I still have to advise you, it really can't be done!"

"Isn't the Ninth Prince at your residence? Perhaps he has a solution?"

After hearing what he said, Pu Qiongzhi hesitated.

She couldn't say it, she didn't trust the Ninth Prince.

If something really happened, would the Ninth Prince protect the Pu family?

Pu Qiongzhi was sure that he would protect the medicinal materials.

It's stupid to just offer yourself up to others and let them slaughter you like fish.

If she is really desperate, then she can only build momentum and use this batch of medicinal materials to aid the world in exchange for the safety of Zhai Lou and others!

At this moment, Pu Qiongzhi was extremely anxious.
