Could it be that he wanted to restore Qi Xiuzhe's reputation because he accepted Qi Xiuzhe's things?
Qi Xiuzhe is a conceited, selfish hypocrite. Don't even think about redeeming his reputation as a gentleman!
"No need to trouble the Imperial Master. I can handle my own affairs." Qin Wu's tone was somewhat cold.
"Yeah." The National Master said nothing more. The corner of his crescent-shaped robe flew up, and he walked out of the hall and disappeared from Qin Wu's sight.
Qin Wu suddenly felt the pressure disappear. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and calmed down.
Only then did she count the silver notes given to her by the Imperial Master, there were a total of five million taels!
This is not a small amount of money, and it is certainly not something that the emperor allocated to him from the national treasury. Is it the imperial master’s own money?
I really can't figure out what the Imperial Master is thinking, but since the five million is given to her, it's a windfall, why not refuse it? The money is hers!
"What, three million!" Qin Yinnuan came back from working hard like a dog, and heard Qin Sujin asking her to take out three million silver from the public treasury.
I wanted to get angry but I suppressed it.
...
...
With a look of embarrassment on her face, Qin Yinnuan said, "Brother, there is not that much money left in the treasury."
"Even if I sell all my property, I can't come up with the three million taels. Unless I sell all the land deeds and shops, maybe I can raise the three million taels."
"How can I have no money?" Qin Sujin had been spanked on the buttocks and was in so much pain that he couldn't sit down. He stood up, and now not only his buttocks hurt, but his head too.
"Isn't your shop doing very well? There is also the dowry property left by mother, and the reward from our emperor. It should be at least 7 million silver, right?"
His mother passed away two years ago, leaving Qin Wu in charge of the household. According to statistics in his mother's account book, there was about six or seven million silver coins.
Besides, don't the shops we run generate income every month?
How is it possible that you can’t even come up with three million?
And he hardly spent much money from the public treasury.
"Brother, you don't know that the income and benefits of the shop before I took over were not very high. Later, I renovated the shop and hired new workers. Now I have just made back my investment."
"But recently, because of the scandal between me and Prince Qi, the business of the shop is not very good now."
Qin Yinnuan's face was full of worry. "I can't even buy charcoal now. The hot pot restaurant with the best business is about to close down."
"I bumped into Qin Wu today. She knew the owner of the charcoal shop. She told him not to buy charcoal for me."
"This is outrageous! How dare she make things difficult for you!" Qin Sujin's face was gloomy and he slammed the table with his palm.
The tea on the table was spilled and splashed all over the table.
"Brother, don't be angry..."
"What happened?" Qin Sumu walked in and saw Qin Sujin's ugly face and anger, so he asked in confusion.
Qin Suhuo was sitting in a wheelchair, and the servant pushed him in.
He was dejected, a complete change from his previous bold and flamboyant demeanor.
Qin Sumu had someone buy this wheelchair from a craftsman and asked someone to push him out to get some fresh air so that he wouldn't develop any mental problems due to not being able to stand up due to a broken leg.
I happened to be passing by the front hall when I heard some noise coming from inside, so I came in.
Qin Sujin pursed her lips. She didn't want to tell this matter and make everyone upset.
The emperor asked him to take out three million silver coins, and he took them out to temporarily calm the emperor's anger.
But now Qin Yinnuan said that the family didn't have that much money, and now Qin Sumu asked, even if he didn't say anything, the second brother would dig deep into his heart.
"The dam built by Chuhe collapsed..." Qin Sujin told the story, "The emperor gave me thirty strokes and asked me to pay three million silver coins."
"I was careless for a moment and got tricked. Now all the blame falls on me. The emperor thinks I am fully responsible. All the people in charge of the dam construction have now been arrested..."
The prefect of Chuhe had a connection with the Qin family, and Qin Sujin trusted him at the time. It was he who guaranteed that the dam construction admiral he found could complete the construction of the Chuhe dam.
As a result, the dam suddenly collapsed less than two years after it was built, killing many people.
The prefect of Biancheng was unable to suppress the incident, so Wanmin wrote a petition in blood and directly contacted the censor, who reported the matter directly to the emperor.
If his father had not begged the emperor to calm down and allow him to atone for his sins and resolve the issue of the Chu River embankment.
Otherwise, he would not have just been beaten with thirty boards and paid three million taels in compensation.
Of course, if he fails to handle the collapse of the Chu River dam properly, he might be beheaded.
"So serious?" Qin Yinnuan knew the purpose of the money, and said nervously, "Brother's family really doesn't have that much money, but even if I have to sell everything I have, I will definitely raise three million silver for you to tide you over."
"I'm going to go and count how much money I have at home now."
Qin Sujin held her arm and said, "Your Majesty, give me three days. First, show me the household account books and expenditures."
"Okay, then, I'll go get the account book now." Qin Yinnuan quickly went to get the account book.
Ever since she took over the management of the household from Qin Wu, she has not had the habit of keeping accounts.
Apart from keeping track of the monthly wages paid to servants, she basically didn't keep track of the money she used from the public treasury. Occasionally, when Qin Sujin and others needed money, she would just take it directly.
The account books are also a mess.
But Qin Yinnuan didn't think there was anything wrong.
Wei Yi was worried that the one million taels she gave to Lou Nan and directly bought from him the antidote to suppress the poisonous insect in her body for a year would be discovered.
After all, one million taels is not a small sum, but she has no choice. She has not made any contribution to him yet. If she doesn't use the money to buy her life, she will die.
The reason she was able to return to the Qin family was because of a deal she made with Lou Nan. Otherwise, she would have become the body of his poisonous insect.
Thinking of the horrific scene of poisonous snakes and insects crawling all over her body, she couldn't help but shudder.
After all, she is a modern person. She comes here to shine, achieve herself, let the ancients worship her, and leave a good reputation for generations to come.
She wanted to live a good life, how could she die at the hands of this pervert Lou Nan.
Anyway, the money was managed by Qin Wu before, so if there was any shortage, the blame could be put on her.
Isn't she so capable, to go against her? Then let the Qin family take good care of her!
"Brother, have you thought of a solution to the problem of the collapsed dam on the Chu River?" Qin Sumu asked, "If we want to rebuild it, three million taels may not be enough, and we have to comfort the people who died. Otherwise, if the incident gets out of hand, it will not only bring bad reputation to our Qin family, but the emperor will also punish you!"
Qin Sujin was also having a headache at the moment and wanted to sit down. As soon as his buttocks touched the stool, he immediately stood up again in pain.
It was a cold day, and his forehead was covered with sweat. "I have to go to Biancheng first to see the current situation of the Chu River embankment."
But before going, he had to pay the fine quickly.
"How could it be three million? No, no, shouldn't it be only three hundred thousand?" Qin Suhuo suddenly raised his head and stared at Qin Sujin, his expression filled with shock, disbelief and fear.
