Sheng Yunrong raised a mysterious smile at the corner of her mouth: "After Mr. Liu told me that this piece of land has the potential to increase in value, he did not rush to buy a house, but has been waiting and watching. Although the price of this abandoned house is much lower than that of properties in other areas, it is extremely unwise for officials to buy useless properties.

The brothers had already bought up all the houses before this, and then they bought other properties one after another to cover up their tracks.

Therefore, Mr. Liu naturally concluded that the area must have huge room for future appreciation. Even though his guess was still uncertain, he would definitely buy a few properties from his brothers in case of emergency.

Sheng Hongxiao nodded slightly and looked at Sheng Yunrong with satisfaction.

My sister has grown up.

No longer the little girl who always followed them around and played.

Sheng Hongye caressed Sheng Yunrong's head affectionately: "If your parents could see you like this, they would definitely feel very relieved."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with a glimmer of tears in her eyes.

A month has passed since I asked my eldest and second brothers to mail the letter to our parents.

During this short month, her heart was not only filled with careful planning, but also with a deep sense of guilt after receiving the letters from her parents.

In the letter she sent, she only mentioned that her eldest and second brothers had successfully found her and that they had spent a happy time together, and also attached a brief description about some silver and money.

However, the parents were keenly aware of the abnormality and after some questioning, the truth came to light.

After learning the truth, her parents did not reprimand her harshly. Instead, they gently asked her if she had eaten enough during the days.

They told her that they would wait patiently for her to finish all her affairs and return to her warm home.

Sheng Yunrong held back her tears and responded with a smile.

She had already made up her mind.

After properly handling all disputes in the Qin family and successfully dissolving her marriage with Qin Wenyuan, she will sell all the properties she has purchased during this period.

Then, she would return to her hometown with her elder and second brothers, and bring Mo Yuan back with them. From then on, she would serve her parents wholeheartedly until the end of her life.

In addition, she also has to find good matches for her eldest brother and second brother so that they can each start a family and a career.

In the Qin Mansion.

The buzz of house-buying outside also reached their ears.

"Hurry! With so many people buying, the real estate there must be excellent! Let's take out the money and buy it!" Old Lady Qin urged anxiously without thinking twice.

However, Qin Wenyuan, who had not yet entered the court, seemed unusually calm. He patiently explained, "Mother, so many people are buying, we should carefully investigate the reasons. Otherwise, if we spend money to buy low-quality properties, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

"If it's a low-quality property, how could so many people buy it?" Old Madam Qin said angrily, "If you don't want to go, Lingmeng and I will go! Let's go! Lingmeng! Go to the street to buy a property with mother!"

"Mother." Ling Meng was so nervous that her hands were sweating. She quickly pulled Madam Qin and said, "Mother, what my husband said is not unreasonable. We should make a decision after we figure it out. Otherwise, if we fall into someone else's trap, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the entire Qin family?"

This is terrible!

How come the price of land suddenly went up just when she had raised so much money?

If Old Madam Qin were to go to the treasury or any of the Qin family's business locations in person to withdraw money to purchase real estate, wouldn't the fact that she had sold almost everything in the mansion be exposed?

"What else is there to investigate?! I--" Old Madam Qin turned around anxiously.

If other people buy up all the properties, what chance do they have?

This Wen Yuan is really ridiculous!

Since Ling Meng had been with him day and night, Qin Huaiyu mysteriously disappeared without a trace, as if swept away by the wind, and he ignored her orders from then on. He seemed to have forgotten that it was by following her advice that he was able to marry Sheng Yunrong, play with her at his will, and own this magnificent Qin Mansion!

"But..." Ling Meng walked to her side lightly, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze, and she soothed her with warm words, "I am willing to help my mother find out the truth."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Qin was immediately delighted: "Ling Meng is so considerate."

A kind smile also appeared on Qin Huaiyu's face.

After getting dressed, Ling Meng was about to leave the house to check out the abandoned house, but Liu Shuangshuang followed her like a shadow, determined not to fall behind.

"Girl, I want to go with you!" Liu Shuangshuang's voice was loud and firm.

When Ling Meng heard Liu Shuangshuang's voice, the anger in her heart instantly ignited like dry firewood and ignited.

She tried her best to suppress her unhappiness, turned around and said, "Ling Meng, I wanted to take you with me, but today's incident has caused a stir in the city, and the place must be crowded. You are still young, and it may not be appropriate for you to go alone."

"I want to go." Liu Shuangshuang repeated with a firm look and expressionless face.

Ling Meng gritted her teeth, secretly hating herself for not being able to find a good opportunity to get rid of Liu Shuangshuang.

The name Sheng Yunrong lingers in my mind like a nightmare.

Thinking back to the failure of the last plan, Ling Meng felt a splitting headache.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the flower-viewing banquet to stage an accident in which Qin Huaiyu accidentally pushed Liu Shuangshuang down, causing her to drown.

However, that stupid guy Sheng Yunrong also showed up at the flower viewing banquet!

What's worse is that Qin Huaiyu actually went to see her with tears in his eyes, which made Qin Huaiyu avoid her trap.

It's really infuriating!

However, it is fortunate that... Qin Huaiyu has disappeared since yesterday.

Perhaps, he has been kidnapped by someone.

At least she had cleared an obstacle that was blocking her path.

"Okay, I'll take you with me. But you must follow closely behind me, understand?" Ling Meng instructed patiently.

"Got it." Liu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes disapprovingly.

How dangerous it could be to go see a house seller!

Ling Meng forced a smile and took Liu Shuangshuang's hand and got into the carriage.

As night fell, Ling Meng returned with accurate news, and her face looked visibly more relaxed.

Thank God, the houses on that abandoned piece of land have been snapped up by two rich young men.

Old Madam Qin can finally give up this idea.

"What's the situation?" Old Madam Qin asked hurriedly when she saw her come in.

Ling Meng lowered her head and said helplessly, "Mother, the price of that place has indeed risen. All this is because of the new policy issued by His Majesty."

Old Madam Qin was overjoyed.

"But..." Ling Meng continued, "the house on that piece of land was bought by two wealthy young masters overnight."

"Ah?!" Old Madam Qin was shocked and angry, her voice was sharp and piercing, "How is this possible!"
