Faced with the suffering in the countryside, she chose to escape. To her, the Qin Mansion was nothing more than a cold cage.

That place... is definitely not where her soul belongs.

"Okay." Sheng Yunrong had already made all the preparations. "You will set off later."

"Mother, you...you won't come with me?" Qin Huaiyu asked timidly. She knew that she had made countless mistakes, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, "Mother, why don't you come with me..."

"Qin Huaiyu." Sheng Yunrong glanced at her calmly, and said in a cold tone, "Do you think I will return to that place?"

Qin Huaiyu was stunned, his lips trembled, and he could no longer utter a word.

She lowered her head and remained silent.

After a while, a carriage slowly drove over.

Sheng Hongye jumped off the carriage, and there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Qin Huaiyu.

There was even a hint of concealed disgust.

Even though she was his own sister's daughter, his own niece, he was extremely cold towards her!

If my sister didn't have the ability to read people's minds, these people... might have put my sister to death long ago!

"Get in the car." Sheng Hongye said in a cold tone.

Qin Huaiyu bit her lips tightly, said no more, and got into the carriage silently.

She understood that it was a blessing in disguise that she could get her mother's help and leave the Qin Mansion.

"Let's go." Sheng Yunrong said calmly, without ever looking at Qin Huaiyu from beginning to end.

The carriage started slowly. Qin Huaiyu couldn't help herself and stuck her tear-stained face out of the window, crying, "Mom! I'm sorry!"

The carriage accelerated and galloped away.

Sheng Yunrong turned around, and a corner of her heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, and tears flowed like a spring.

Sheng Hongye hugged her distressedly: "Yunrong, you have suffered so much. All of this is not what you should bear."

Sheng Yunrong nodded silently. After a while, she looked up and smiled, "Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Yeah." Sheng Hongye was still a little worried.

Sheng Yunrong quickly adjusted her mood: "Brother, isn't the second brother back yet?"

"Not yet." Sheng Hongye mentioned this and couldn't help but shook his head, "Yunrong, just as you expected, after Liu Shuangshuang entered the Qin Mansion, the concubine couldn't wait to start selling the Qin family's property one by one.

The matter was indeed strange. Old Madam Qin had not given her the housekeeper's key for a long time, but after Liu Shuangshuang arrived, she gave her the key.

She even let her mistress take charge of the household chores without any preparation, and she never even checked the accounts carefully.

Isn't this confusing?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, with a sharp look in her eyes: "Old Madam Qin is just such a person. She is scheming and suspicious. When no one reveals the truth, she can infer a lot of suspicions by herself, but once someone tailors a lie for her.

She will believe it and even regard it as an ironclad fact.”

Sheng Hongye nodded slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and then laughed: "However, time is running out. Even if she wants to pretend that she doesn't know about the financial loopholes of the government, she will not be able to continue to cover up her crimes!"

Sheng Yunrong's lips curled up slightly, and she said in a relaxed tone: "The emperor's new policy will be announced soon. We can take this opportunity to give them another push."

"That's right." Sheng Hongye laughed happily.

The next day, at dawn, before the citizens started their day, they witnessed the promulgation of an exciting new policy.

It turned out that the real estate prices in the abandoned area of ​​South Lane had skyrocketed, and even those dilapidated houses were worth a hundred times more!

"Oh my God! This is undoubtedly great news!"

"As real estate values ​​increase and housing prices rise, will that street become an important core area in the future?"

"That's right! Hurry up, we have to hurry and buy one before the price reaches its peak!"

Crowds flocked to real estate agents, only to be told that the houses had been sold out months ago.

"How is it possible? Those houses were never in demand before! How come they are suddenly sold out now? Could it be that an insider got the news in advance and bought them secretly?"

"You should be careful with your words! How can an ordinary person know the emperor's decree in advance? Even if you really heard about it, you need a lot of financial resources to purchase it!"

"I don't believe there is such a coincidence! There must be someone behind this!"

The real estate agent had anticipated the commotion. He tapped the table, walked out calmly and said, "Everyone, don't talk nonsense. I was also shocked when the soldiers posted the decree this morning.

However, those who bought those properties were not ordinary people.

They are wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan!

Not only did they buy up all the abandoned properties, but they also acquired countless commercial properties and residential houses in the surrounding area.

Don't be discouraged!

If you really want to buy it, you might as well try to buy it from them again!

Just yesterday, three properties were purchased from them.”

"What? It turned out that those wealthy young masters came to the capital to play and bought a piece of real estate casually?"

"This is too rich...buying...actually buying the entire area at once?!"

"I don't know who the buyer was yesterday. He had such a unique vision that he actually bought three properties from those wealthy businessmen the day before the decree was issued!"

"Yeah! Boss, how can we find them?"

"That... I don't know either. But you can write down the properties you want to buy and tell me, and leave your contact information. If they are willing to sell, I will notify you as soon as possible."

“Okay, okay!”

"Okay! Quick! Let me pick a house first!"

"Don't forget me!"

The real estate agency was bustling with people and activity.

In the deserted house that everyone was vying to visit, Sheng Yunrong was leisurely sipping tea with her two brothers.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door.

Xiang Zhu opened the door in response. Sheng Yunrong looked from afar and saw the figure who had revealed the land appreciation information to her appear in front of her.

"Sorry to bother you." Liu Wenbo said with a smile, "I moved here today and wanted to say hello to you two."

Sheng Hongxiao and Sheng Hongye immediately stood in front of Sheng Yunrong and walked side by side.

The clothes they wore were made from another batch of expensive fabrics that Sheng Yunrong had carefully selected in the capital.

Liu Wenbo had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the clothes they wore were of high quality, but what caught his attention more were the jade pendants hanging around their waists and the jade crowns on their heads.

Liu Wenbo's smile became brighter: "Thank you for your generosity, gentlemen. It gave me the opportunity to purchase three dream properties from you."

"No, no, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Liu." Sheng Hongxiao responded politely.

Liu Wenbo smiled even more kindly, and after tasting the pastries carefully prepared by his wife, he left gracefully.

Sheng Hongxiao and Sheng Hongye had bright smiles on their faces. Sheng Hongye couldn't wait to run to Sheng Yunrong and asked excitedly, "How did you know that Mr. Liu would come to buy a house from us yesterday, and why did you specially ask my second brother to wait for him at the real estate agency?"
