Chapter 93: Windfall



"Purchase a property?" Sheng Hongxiao thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized.

Indeed, your Majesty's secret orders are absolutely confidential.

It is indeed puzzling that the brother and sister had purchased all the properties a month before His Majesty issued the secret order.

"So...are they..." Sheng Hongxiao didn't finish his words.

Sheng Yunrong understood that Sheng Hongxiao was asking His Majesty and the Queen whether they suspected that she had special abilities.

Looking at Sheng Hongxiao's vigilant eyes, Sheng Yunrong thought that if she revealed any affirmative words, Sheng Hongxiao would definitely break into the palace without hesitation and support her.

In desperation, Sheng Yunrong knew that she could no longer hide the conspiracy of the imperial concubine's family to rebel after assisting the empress and the emperor in exposing it.

After repeated consideration, she finally decided to take Sheng Hongxiao with her on the carriage, first to completely resolve tonight's matter, and then tell everything to her eldest and second brothers.

In this quiet courtyard, Xiang Zhu was washing vegetables carefully.

Outside the door, a subtle and elusive sound gradually sounded.

That is... the voice of Old Madam Qin!

When Xiang Zhu thought of the cruelty and ruthlessness of Old Madam Qin in the Qin Mansion, his heart began to pound with nervousness.

However, thinking of what Sheng Yunrong and the two young masters had told her to do, she immediately calmed her inner anxiety, regained her usual composure, and continued with her daily work.

This is the last task that the eldest lady is about to complete.

She must help the eldest lady complete it successfully!

The door creaked open slowly, and Sheng Hongye led Madam Qin into the room: "This house is quite elegant, and it is more than enough to accommodate seven or eight people."

Old Madam Qin couldn't stop smiling. She was very excited at the thought that this house might soon become hers.

Immediately, she turned her head and caught a glimpse of Xiang Zhu who had left with Sheng Yunrong.

"Xiang Zhu! Why are you here?!" Old Madam Qin's eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise.

Xiang Zhu shrank back nervously and raised his head bravely: "Old... Old Madam!"

Seeing the familiar face, Madam Qin was furious and asked loudly: "What on earth is going on?! How come you are here!"

Sheng Hongye intervened at the right time and asked with a smile: "Madam Qin, do you know her?"

Madam Qin's expression changed quickly and she laughed dryly: "Yes, sir! This maidservant belongs to my son's wife who didn't live up to her expectations!"

Sheng Hongye chuckled: "Look, isn't this a coincidence?"

"What coincidence?" Old Madam Qin asked in confusion.

Sheng Hongye explained cheerfully: "This house is not actually ours. It belongs to a woman and this maid. They bought it before us, but they only bought this one.

Now, for some reason, they want to sell it, so they ask us to sell it on their behalf. If you were a family, wouldn’t it be much more convenient?”

“What?!” Old Madam Qin let out a sharp scream, in disbelief, “This house… this house actually belongs to Sheng Yunrong?!”

Old Madam Qin almost suffocated, unable to accept this fact.

She had calculated many times that the house she had always dreamed of buying had actually already been purchased by Sheng Yunrong.

"Tell me quickly! What on earth happened!" Old Lady Qin rushed forward angrily and grabbed Xiang Zhu's collar tightly.

Xiang Zhu's face was as pale as paper, his body was shaking, and he stammered, "Madam, I...I don't know why!

This mansion was originally just a dilapidated house that had been abandoned for a long time!

Ever since I and the Madam were displaced and the Madam became homeless, she temporarily chose this place to stay.

Hearing that it only cost one hundred taels of silver to purchase the property, he pawned his jade bracelet and bought the property.

Who could have expected that the value of this house would increase to millions of taels now? "

"Millions..." Old Madam Qin exclaimed and almost fainted.

Sheng Yunrong, Sheng Yunrong's luck is unbelievable!

Old Madam Qin stared in amazement at the spacious and exquisite mansion behind Xiang Zhu, which was actually taken by Sheng Yunrong with just a shabby jade bracelet. The regret in her heart was like a knife cutting through her.

If she had known this, she would never have let Qin Wenyuan marry Ling Meng, a vicious woman like that!

As long as Sheng Yunrong is still in the Qin family, this good fortune and this windfall will all belong to the Qin family!

Madam Qin gritted her teeth and suppressed her regret: "Where is Sheng Yunrong? Why didn't she come out to greet me?"

Xiang Zhu was panicking: "Madam, you still don't know? The scandal of my master being suspected of killing a child has spread all over the city. As soon as my wife learned about it, she rushed to visit my master, but she hasn't returned yet!"

When Old Madam Qin heard this, she was once again speechless with shock.

Qin Wenyuan is such a waste!

Being manipulated by Ling Meng would be fine! He couldn't even think of a way to protect himself, and now he is bound by the iron law and imprisoned in prison...

I'm afraid that he will be like that disappointing eldest son Qin Fengyun and will never be able to step out of the cage!

We must not sit idly by!

The most urgent task is to take back the property from Sheng Yunrong!

"When Sheng Yunrong comes back, ask her to return to the Qin family immediately and come to see me!"

"Yes, yes, sir..." Xiang Zhu nodded and bowed quickly.

Madam Qin then turned around with satisfaction and faced Sheng Hongye: "Hahaha, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, sir. I didn't expect that this property was unexpectedly acquired by my good-for-nothing son and daughter-in-law!"

"This is such a coincidence. But it's also a pity." Sheng Hongye shook his head gently, "I originally wanted to give you a house as a gift, Madam Qin, but now it seems that you don't need to bother me."

"Thank you for your help!" A gleam of greed flashed in Old Lady Qin's eyes.

It is necessary! It is necessary! How can it not be necessary?

This priceless property would not be too much for her even if she got a hundred more units!

Old Madam Qin opened her eyes wide with greed.

Who would have thought that Sheng Hongye would interrupt her before she could speak: "Alas! Even if I am willing to give alms now, I am afraid that you, an old lady from the Qin family, will never accept it."

Old Madam Qin's breath was stuck in her throat and she could only force herself to swallow the praise, as if she had swallowed a ball of tasteless mist.

In her eyes, the reputation of the Qin family is more important than Mount Tai.

However, at this moment, she felt that the dry praise was not as real as holding a handful of real silver.

Old Madam Qin could only place all her hopes on the house behind her.

As long as I own that house, I'll never have to worry about having enough food and clothing!

Old Madam Qin suppressed her inner excitement, bowed to Sheng Hongye, and turned to leave.

Not long after, Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongxiao returned home.

As soon as Xiang Zhu saw Sheng Yunrong, he immediately told her what had just happened.

Sheng Yunrong was not surprised after hearing this.

If such a thing happened to someone else, it might be puzzling, but for Old Madam Qin, such behavior of disregarding one's dignity and seeking gold and silver is nothing out of the ordinary.

However, at this moment - she was more concerned about something else.

"Xiang Zhu, where is the eldest young master? Where did he go?" Sheng Yunrong looked around but could not see Sheng Hongye.
