Qin Zhun was about to lose his cool and slap the table, when the family split, the eldest house received 150,000 taels of cash. All he wanted was to borrow this, but Qin Jiu actually had the face to tell him she had no cash on her.
When Qin Jiu meaningfully sighed and said, “Although we receive a little amount when the family separated, I didn’t know before that it wasn’t easy to manage a mansion, now I understand Second Aunt’s difficulties. The mansion has many expenses, and every day we need to spend money.” Qin Jiu counted with her fingers with a troubled look evident on her face, “I’m getting married soon, and my eldest and younger brother still needs to find a wife, how can that money be enough.”
“……” Qin Zhun felt that it was shameless for an unmarried girl like Qin Jiu to actually talk about marriage all the time, which noble girl in the capital was like her!
Qin Jiu, on the other hand, continued to ramble. “Second Uncle wants to do his best for the country, which is a great public justice, so, of course, this niece can’t stop it, but the family needs money too, and IOUs can’t be used for food.”
Her words were close to saying that Qin Zhun was only generous to others.
His sister’s mouth was absolutely the best, no, perfect. Qin Zeyu almost burst into laughter, luckily, he was able to hold his self after sheer strength and divert his attention. Peeling lychee for himself to eat, he thought: It’s so sweet! It smells so good too!
Meanwhile, Qin Zhun gnashes as words came out through the gaps between his teeth. “Jiu’er, what are you talking about! If you are not comfortable with IOU, second uncle will give you a portion of his estate as collateral, this should make you feel at ease, right?”
Qin Jiu shook her head and smiled, “What is second uncle saying, collateral is unnecessary, we are, after all, a family.”
Qin Zhun was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that Qin Jiu wouldn’t be too shameless to take her second uncle’s property as collateral.
Qin Zeyu who was watching this scene unfold, could see what Qin Zhun was thinking at a glance, and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh: Second Uncle really underestimated his sister.
Sure enough—
“The eldest house will buy it from second uncle so that you don’t have to write an IOU.” Qin Jiu sounded like she was thinking after Qin Zhun’s sake.
The corner of Qin Zhun’s eye twitched, and was once again ready to flip the table as he thought to himself: This girl was too cunning, not a single thing she said was the truth, didn’t she say she didn’t have any cash on hand!
He has to say, if Qin Jiu hadn’t come back, the Marquis family wouldn’t have split and his family wouldn’t have fallen into this situation!
If they hadn’t split the family, then the money and properties of the eldest house would still belong to him, and he could use it however he wants. But now, not only was the eldest house get 70% of the marquis’s assets, but he also has to humble himself to borrow money from Qin Jiu.
Could it be that Qin Jiu was his enemy in his previous life, and she came here to defeat him in this life! Qin Zhun couldn’t help but think as he secretly gritted his teeth even more.
Qin Zeyu watched Qin Zhun’s face burst from blue to purple and then white, at the same time, he was afraid that his second uncle would get a stroke due to anger because of his sister. Now that he thinks of it, if he had a stroke, should he invite a physician to come over or send him back to the marquis in a hurry?
With this scenario running into his head, Qin Zeyu was lost in his thoughts.
It took a while before Qin Zhun calmed down and asked Qin Jiu, “Then what do you want?”
Qin Jiu replied, “The Qin family’s three commercial buildings and four commercial sea trade in Minzhou.”
What a lion’s mouth! Qin Zhun almost angrily laughed at her, this wonderful niece of his was deliberately taking advantage of the fire to rob him.
Qin Jiu really has the face to open her mouth big! The Qin family’s commercial buildings in Minzhou and sea trade business, who does not know that these businesses were very profitable. Once the sea trade resumed, and the goods from the West were liquidated, it would naturally solve his current dilemma.
If not for the fact that Qin Zening was not here right now, and if not for the fact that Qin Zening has no ability to predict that he would come to borrow money, Qin Zhun almost wonders if Qin Zening instigated Qin Jiu to do this.
“Just one hundred and fifty thousand taels for commercial buildings and commercial sea trade in Minzhou?!” Qin Zhun finally couldn’t bear it anymore and stood up as he slaps the table.
The ‘slapped’ was so loud that the teacup on the side table vibrated, and a few drops of tea splashed out.
Facing Qin Zhun’s glare, Qin Jiu just leisurely drink her tea, unaffected, as if seeing Mount Tai collapses has nothing to do with her, her expression remained unchanged.
Seeing his sister’s composure, Qin Zeyu felt that he mustn’t embarrass his sister, so he quickly picked up his teacup and straightened his back.
Qin Zhun: “…”
Qin Zhun really wants to leave immediately but he was desperate, he needed to raise that money.
So, after hesitating for a while, he still suppressed his raging anger and tried to bargain with Qin Jiu, he said politely, “Jiu’er, the business in Minzhou is the fruit of your grandfather’s hard work, and he always wants me to succeed it, how about this, how about I give one of them to the eldest house?”
Sighing deeply, Qin Jiu said. “Second Uncle, I’m not pretending to be poor, I really don’t have enough cash here. If someone else had come to borrow money, let alone 150,000, even 10,000 would not be possible.”
Her eyes were shining brightly as she said these words insincerely.
“Second uncle, why don’t you go back and think about it again?” She kindly advised, “Empress Aunt always taught me to act within my means and think twice before I act, I also think this is true.”
“……” Qin Zhun felt that Qin Jiu was just too sinister.
Flicking his sleeve, Qin Zhun acted like he was about to leave but Qin Jiu didn’t stop him, instead, he heard her say to Qin Zeyu, “A’yu, send our second uncle off.”
Qin Zeyu, who was originally watching the play, did not expect to be called all of a sudden and was momentarily stunned before he immediately stood up and courteously reached out his hand politely, “Second uncle, I’ll see you off.”
Just like Qin Jiu, Qin Zeyu has no intention of stopping Qin Zhun from going, only thinking that he couldn’t shame his sister, and politely show his etiquette. Who made him the only man in the Qin mansion now!
Qin Zeyu suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was truly heavy, and admired himself at the same time.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhun’s feet seemed to be in shackles, unable to move an inch.
