"Why can't you keep your family business?" Donna frowned, "Did you commit a crime? I heard that you people from the Central Plains are always beheading your entire family. It's impossible for you to be beheaded by your whole family, right? No, I'm a member of the Zhuzhen clan, even if you are
Even if I commit a crime, the emperor of the Central Plains cannot kill me, otherwise our Tuozhen tribe will not agree."
Mrs. Ren: "..."
Others in the Ren family present: "..."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Ren family muttered: "Why did my uncle marry such a brainless woman? Does he only care about looks like other men?"
"Second younger brother and sister, you don't know how to kill the whole family, so don't talk nonsense." Yu said, "The thing is like this..."
After hearing the whole story, Donna breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better if the whole family is not killed, so as not to implicate me."
Mrs. Ren twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a cold face: "Although the whole family will not be expropriated and executed, because our family cannot afford to pay back the money, we plan to mortgage the house to the court. Although we still cannot pay off all the debts
But we can repay a little bit, and we can only pay back the rest slowly."
"You are from a wealthy family after all, why are you so poor?" Donna said.
"Second brother and sister, we came to you to discuss what to do. Why don't you open any pot?" Yu said, "Do you have any good ideas for us to save this house?"
"There is no other way but to pay off the debt."
"But we have no money!"
"Isn't your mother's family engaged in business?"
Yu: "..."
She wasn't smart when she should be smart, and was really smart when she shouldn't be. If she hadn't been together for more than half a month, she would have doubted whether this foreign woman was pretending to be stupid on purpose.
"My mother-in-law's family is just an ordinary businessman. Even my own family can hardly survive. How can they lend me any money?"
Mrs. Yu noticed that Mrs. Ren's face looked ugly when she said these words. It must be because the purpose of her words was too obvious, which made Mrs. Ren feel thorny in her heart, thinking that she, the daughter of the Yu family, only had her mother's family in her heart.
No matter what, there was nothing she could do to take over this matter. There were so many people in the family, and they usually ate and drank a lot. At this time, they only wanted to bully her, a businesswoman who looked down on her in every possible way. How could it be a good thing?
?
"Forget it, I think everyone is in trouble, let's do this..." Old Madam Ren said, "Everyone can take as much as they can. Let's pool it together and see how much money is still missing."
In the study, Ren Hankun listened to the report from his subordinates. He, who had always been gentle, now had a cold face and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Have all the industries been uncovered?"
"Only Zhujian Villa is safe and sound." The subordinate said, "Zhujian Villa is in the name of Young Master Biao. Unless you are a Daluo Immortal, there is no way you would know that it is the Crown Prince's property."
"Don't be so confident. Sometimes being overconfident is arrogance. I have long heard that the Lu family has an intelligence network. Their people are all over the world. As long as they don't want to know, there is nothing they don't know."
"What should we do?"
"As long as we don't find out, no matter it's true or false, we have to pretend as if nothing happened. What about the other adults? All their properties have been dug up?"
"No one was spared. They were all caught out. The adults paid off their debts very honestly, and now only three families are still collecting money."
"Our Queen is beautiful, ruthless, and even more ruthless. The emperor insisted on marrying her and left the throne vacant for many years because of her. It can be seen that it is not necessarily because of true love."
If he met such a woman who wanted wealth, beauty, and people, he would not fall in love with other women. Unfortunately, his luck was not so good. That Princess Dona has only looks, just like
She looks like an empty shell, which is really boring. And for the sake of the Zhenzhen clan behind her, he has to compromise with them, which is really off-putting.
"The Crown Prince..." Another subordinate walked in, "The Crown Prince is willing to provide money to pay off the debts of the mansion."
"Who asked her to pay for it?" Ren Hankun frowned.
"The old lady called her over. Several ladies and young ladies are here. They must have persuaded her together."
Ren Hankun sneered: "What an idiot! Believe what others say, and when others asked her to pay this money, she really paid this money. The old man borrowed the debt before, and after borrowing it, the whole family spent it.
Shouldn't my prince be allowed out of this room? Okay, go and call the prince's concubine over and tell her that my prince is sick and needs her care."
"yes."
The common people noticed that there was a dull atmosphere surrounding the capital recently. Many people came and went from the mansions of several adults, including antique dealers, pawnbrokers, and merchants doing various businesses.
"What happened recently? Yesterday I went to deliver goods to Mrs. Lin's family. I heard Mrs. Lin sighing there, and asked the lady in the house to return the jewelry she just bought and sell the clothes she just made."
"The same is true in Mr. Jia's residence. Could it be that something happened in the court?"
"You don't know, don't you? I heard that there was a dragon turning over in Nanzhou. Many people were homeless, and many people lost their families. It's so pitiful! The Queen, together with all of you, donated money, and planned to provide disaster relief
We will send the money to Nanzhou together to rebuild the homes of the people there, and set up a few charity houses to take in the children and the elderly who have no one to take care of them."
"Huiguo has a charity hall and a nursery, right? I used to envy the people of Huiguo. I thought that at least the elderly and children there would not be hungry and would have someone to take care of them. Now it seems that we have hope to develop like that here."
"We are no better than Huiguo. Huiguo has several large-scale industries of the Lu family, but the development here cannot keep up."
"The Queen is the Lu family. With her here, our Fenglin country will become more prosperous sooner or later. Just wait and see, there is still a war now. In a few years, our Fenglin country will be no worse than Huiguo."
Lu Zhiyun spread the news about the civil and military donations from the Manchu Dynasty. The people praised the officials and said that they were the officials who had the most common interests in history.
Officials who almost went bankrupt lost their money, but gained official reputation and felt much better.
At this time, Prince Anguo took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to take these belongings to Nanzhou to provide disaster relief.
Lu Zhiyun agreed and arranged for two officials to accompany him.
"Queen, Prince Anguo has always had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. If he goes to Nanzhou with the donations this time, there should be no problems."
"Gongfu An Guo owed the most money before." Lu Zhiyun said, "If Duke An Guo is really a good minister for the country and the people, why can he pretend to be deaf and dumb like other ministers?"
"The Queen doesn't believe in Prince Anguo, so why did you agree to him?"
"If he is smart enough and does not dare to take action at this juncture, because he knows that I attach great importance to this disaster relief matter. If he is stupid, then I will go with the flow. No matter how you look at it, I have no reason to refuse!"
