"The most urgent thing now is to ensure that Father has a glorious final journey. Butler, you will take care of this matter and make sure it is done well so that Father can leave in peace."
"After we get back, steward, reassure the servants. Although the master is gone, there is still a master in the house. Give the orders that if they do a good job of handling Father's affairs, they will be richly rewarded. Get them all moving. If they are tired, they won't have much energy left. The Mo family cannot be in chaos now."
Even though he had the indenture, it wasn't impossible that so many people would rush in, grab the indenture, and then ransack the mansion!
"Yes, Miss, I'll take care of it right away." The butler led Li Si and Wang Li towards the door.
"Dujuan, you go too. Calm down the maids in the manor. Have those who do needlework do their needlework, and those who sweep the courtyard, get a few more people to clean the garden again. Tell the cooks in the kitchen to prepare the offerings..."
Mo Qian made the arrangements with a clear mind and gave instructions to Du Juan.
"Okay, Miss, don't be too sad, I'll go right away." With that, Dujuan hurriedly left.
After everyone had left, Mo Qian poured the water from the teapot onto her right hand, took out a handkerchief from her waist, first wiped her eyes, and then slowly and meticulously wiped her fingers clean one by one...
————————
In the following ten days or so, the entire Mo family mansion sprang into operation under Mo Qian's leadership, with servants and maids busily carrying out the tasks assigned by the steward.
We also need to buy a coffin. Even if the body is gone and only ashes remain, we should at least erect a cenotaph. We also need to buy white silk, white candles, white lanterns, and so on. All these items need to be prepared, and we need to ask someone to choose an auspicious day and a good location...
While everyone's attention was focused on the funeral arrangements, Mo Qian privately called Gao Pan'er and her son into her room.
“Aunt Gao, now that Father has passed away, I don’t want to stay in this place of sorrow any longer. I want to go out and see the world. Let’s divide the family property today.”
"I can't take these shops, houses, fields and stuff with me, so I'll leave them to Mo Lu. I'll take all the money from the family with me, and I won't be coming back."
"Yes, Miss, Lu'er, quickly thank your elder sister." Gao Pan'er felt much better after hearing Mo Qian's explanation of the family division.
Although Mo Qian was reluctant to let go of that money, it still couldn't compare to the shops and land. With those, money would flow in continuously!
Mo Qian is really silly, but it's a good thing she's silly, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten this benefit!
After Gao Pan'er fainted upon hearing the news of the master's death and woke up, she did consider detaining Mo Qian.
After all, a generous reward will surely attract brave men, and a little girl will be easy prey for them!
But just as this thought crossed his mind, he happened to see Mo Qian playing with a piece of jade in her hand. She gently squeezed it, then released it, sending dust flying...
He immediately dismissed the idea. Tying her up was a small matter; what if he accidentally broke the jade bottle while trying to break the earthenware jar? That wouldn't be good!
Although the master passed away early, Lu'er is still too young, so the master cannot pass on all the family property to Lu'er. Mo Qian also has to receive a share. She is extremely reluctant to part with it.
But you can't push people too far, and besides, you don't have the ability to control them!
If I hurt myself and accidentally lose my life, how can I enjoy this affluent life?
Lu'er is still too young and listens to me. This family fortune will eventually fall into my hands!
Now all I want is to get rid of this devil so I can live a good life where I'm in charge!
As he imagined this, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Thank you, elder sister." Mo Lu repeated after Gao Pan'er. Although he didn't know how much of the family property he would receive, he could still tell from his mother's tone that he hadn't suffered a loss.
"These assets are all left to Mo Lu. You are just temporarily managing them. Once Mo Lu comes of age, they will be handed over to him for management. I will have the steward keep an eye on which shops. If you have any questions, you can ask the steward."
“Yes, Miss. I will definitely manage the Mo family’s ancestral property well for Lu’er and hand it over to him in the future.”
"That's good." Then, Mo Qian handed the box containing the house deeds and land deeds to Mo Lu.
Mo Lu casually handed the box to Gao Pan'er.
Gao Pan'er took the box, her hands trembling slightly, her face revealing a hint of excitement.
Mo Qian looked at Gao Pan'er's uncontrollable joy and Mo Lu's beaming face, completely forgetting about the original owner's father sealed in the urn in the mourning hall!
There was a burst of sneer. The original owner's father had treated Gao Pan'er and her son very well!
Let them have some fun now. These things will only be in Gao Pan'er's hands for a couple of days, just passing through her hands!
Mo Qian chose a quiet time late at night to go to the storeroom and ransacked the mansion, taking all the money and valuables. She also put the bankbooks containing the money in the bank into her spatial storage.
This town is too small. If I withdraw money today, the whole town will know tomorrow. To be on the safe side, I should find a bank to withdraw money after I leave.
Time passed quickly afterward. After giving the original owner's father a grand funeral, two days later, before anyone could react, Mo Qian explained that she was leaving.
Before leaving, he secretly gave the maids' indentures to them so they wouldn't make a fuss; he could be considered doing a good deed.
As for Qingyan, who is by Gao Pan'er's side, there is no need to worry about leaks. After all, who would want to cause trouble and be a maid who serves others?
As for the servants, Mo Qian wasn't so kind. After all, in her previous life, these servants watched as the original owner and the maids in the mansion were bullied by beggars without stopping them, and some even took advantage of the chaos to do so.
It was as if he had suppressed the original owner and was able to turn the tables and take control, watching those maids being humiliated!
Some may have been reluctant, but in the end, they didn't say a word or take a step!
Of course, some of the resistance was suppressed, and Mo Qian also gave them away.
As for Du Juan, who was by the original owner's side, Mo Qian gave her an extra sum of money and also gave her family's indentures. In the previous life, her family had been severely punished because of Du Juan.
Then, right under everyone's noses, Mo Qian got into a car and left.
When Gao Pan'er saw Mo Qian leave, the weight in her heart finally lifted.
Before Mo Qian left, she took out the box from where she had hidden it, opened it, and checked that the contract was still there.
After returning home, I checked them again and put the house deeds and land deeds in a leather pouch. I didn't want them to get gnawed by rats because of improper storage; that would be a real tragedy!
He put the brocade pouch in a box and hid it in the lining of his bed where he usually slept. No one would ever guess that it would be there!
Now she could finally relax. Gao Pan'er raised her eyebrows and smiled broadly.
