Qin Kou'er's eyes widened immediately, and she whispered, "Have you ever heard of an empress from any dynasty still having businesses in the martial arts world? It's not proper to say that out loud!"

Jun Yannuo stared at Qin Kou'er for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter: "I say, Pavilion Master Qin, aren't you overthinking things? Back then, even the Empress came from the martial world to the palace, and the Qin family didn't say they were breaking up then, did they? This Qin Tian Pavilion will always belong to the Qin family. Don't forget where all the money in Qin Tian Pavilion comes from? It all comes from the Qin family's treasure. Everyone in Qin Tian Pavilion survives because of your family's influence. You can't just say you don't want it anymore!"

"Then how am I supposed to accept it? I can't possibly have the nerve to ask you to calculate my dividends every year, can I?" Qin Kou'er rolled her eyes in annoyance. "That would be so shameless! You haven't put in any effort, yet you're reaping the benefits. That's unfair to you all!"

Jun Yannuo chuckled at Qin Kou'er's coquettish expression: "What's fair or unfair about it! You brought all of us back. Back then, we were just wandering ruffians, homeless people. Now Qin Tiange is our home, so of course we have to protect this family business for you. If you don't mind, then let me manage it for you for now. But all of Qin Tiange's assets belong to the Qin family, and you'll be in charge of what you do with them in the future. Do you want to leave it to your descendants, or do you want to create another wave of Qin family members? We're just here to look after the house. As long as we can keep Qin Tiange running smoothly, that's enough!"

Qin Kou'er immediately shook her head upon hearing Jun Yannuo's words.

"No! Over the years, you've already wasted a lot of time on my cause. I absolutely can't let you stay here guarding these things for nothing. Besides, the brothers have followed me through thick and thin for so many years. With our great revenge about to be achieved, I absolutely can't let them have followed me for nothing."

Qin Kou'er stood up, walked around three times, then suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Hey? I've thought of a great idea! Speaking of dividends, how about this? From now on, Qin Tiange will take half of its annual income to distribute as dividends to the brothers. Then, we'll take 10% of all the income and give it to you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Yannuo's eyes widened immediately, staring at Qin Kou'er in disbelief: "Grandma, do you know how much net profit Qin Tiange makes in a year? Including our mining operations and the goods sold to foreign countries, we have a harvest of over three million taels every year. You're just casually giving me ten percent of that, which is three hundred thousand taels of silver! Where am I supposed to spend all that money?"

Qin Kou'er immediately waved her hand, "I don't care where you spend the money, but I absolutely can't let you worry about this for nothing! Hai Tian and Mo Hun have been with me for so many years, if I don't reward them properly, I feel ashamed to face them. Besides, if you don't even have anywhere to spend the money, do you think I need so much money to spend? This matter is settled. Later, bring out a proper document for me to see, if it's suitable, we'll do it!"

Qin Kou'er was very satisfied with her decision, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Jun Yannuo looked at Qin Kou'er with a wry smile and said, "Are you so desperate to get married? We haven't even finished avenging this great grudge, and you're already thinking about dividing the family property. What am I supposed to say to you!"

Qin Kou'er immediately smiled mischievously: "I'm just being prepared! I only feel at ease when everything is arranged. Alright, now that we've finished discussing this, let's talk about what comes next!"

Qin Kou'er picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Jun Yannuo, saying, "It seems the Emperor has already made his move. This means we can't make too many moves, or we'll ruin his plans! But if we do nothing, I feel it's too easy for Hu Tianyong and his ilk. How are things going with his positions down there?"

"We've already taken a lot! Some of the land and property he owned has either been bought by us, or we've managed to find ways to get it for him. In short, he doesn't have many places left to stay!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, "That's good! But I still feel it's too easy on him. By the way, how's it going with asking Mo Hun to contact the people Hu Tianyong wronged all these years?"

"It will still take a few more days! We've been in contact with Su Ri'an, but because things were a bit rushed, Mo Hun still needs some time!"

Qin Kou'er nodded. "If we're going to do this, we have to see it through to the end! We absolutely cannot give Hu Tianyong a chance to turn things around! Although the Emperor has already taken action, Hu Tianyong has been cunning and treacherous for so many years. He might very well pin the blame for what happened back then on Xu Ming. Even if Hu Tianyong falls then, it will definitely not be because of our Qin family. If I want Hu Tianyong to die, it can only be at the hands of the Qin family. Do you understand?"

Jun Yannuo sighed, walked to Qin Kou'er's side, and patted her on the shoulder: "Of course I understand! Isn't this the direction we've been striving for!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, feeling deeply gratified to have Jun Yannuo, such a capable assistant, by her side.

"How is Lan Xiuyuan now?"

"He's stayed home the whole time and hasn't come out. People inside say he looks much more haggard; it seems the Hu Qianyu incident has really affected him!"

Qin Kou'er sneered: "I don't think it's necessarily because of that. Recently, several things Lan Xiuyuan arranged have failed, and with Hu Qianyu's death, it's no wonder he's in a bad mood. However, Hu Tianyong's side is facing numerous crises, and I'm afraid he won't be able to keep quiet for long. Our people still need to keep a close eye on things, lest something bad happens in the end!"
