Lan Wangshu had no choice. It was too late to run away at this moment. He could only ensure his own safety to the greatest extent possible.

A smile appeared on her lips again, and her eyes were full of surprise, as if she was really happy to see him.

Seeing that Lan Qinghe was interested in what she said, he pulled her aside and looked around, as if what he was about to tell her was really a huge secret.

"That's right, big brother. I don't have much money, but I have a connection. A wealthy family in the county wants an old woman to do housework. They want ten taels of silver. If you can't pay back the money, you have to prepare money to escape."

Lan Qinghe had never heard of such a good thing. An old woman was worth ten taels of silver, while a strong man was only five taels.

"Brother, I'll tell you something secretly. This is what the young master from the capital wants. If you succeed, there will be a reward of ten taels of silver, which makes twenty taels."

Lan Qinghe still didn't believe it. This was too abnormal.

Lan Wangshu was not in a hurry either. She had originally been thinking of finding a reason to get away. She calculated in her mind that it would be worthwhile if she could use money to deal with the people of the Lan family. It would be better than having someone always keeping an eye on them.

It is not difficult for her to earn money if she loses it, but it would be a waste of time if her future is ruined.

If I am careless for a moment, I won't even have time to cry. So I might as well deal with all of them. It's not bad to deal with them all when I have the chance. Her eyes darkened.

"Look, if you still don't believe me, this is two taels of silver, which is the deposit. If you sell your things at home in the next two days, the casino will definitely think you are here to pay back the money. When you run away, won't this money be enough to find a wife and start a new life?"

While observing his surroundings, Lan Wangshu nudged Lan Qinghe with his elbow, and the other party couldn't help but believe it a little.

"Little brother, you must be serious."

Lan Wangshu gritted his teeth and decided that it would be worth it even if it cost him most of his fortune.

"Really? If someone else can't sell it, I will help you sell it for five taels of silver. There's only one problem. You have to take your household registration to the government to register. We'll hand over the deed in one hand and the silver in the other. This price is generous enough, isn't it?"

Lan Qinghe thought about it in his mind and was very tempted, but he couldn't bear to give up the house, which was one of the largest in the village.

"I spent more than ten taels of silver to build that house. It's really..."

"Brother, listen to my advice. The people in this gambling house are ruthless and will kill without blinking an eye. It will be unfortunate if you lose your arms and legs. So, you can pledge the land deed to me and I will give you ten taels of silver. I will return it to you after the storm has passed."

Lan Qinghe thought about the scene and was frightened. Looking at Lan Wangshu, he was almost in tears. He calculated in his mind that this family and the house could be sold for forty taels of silver. If his daughter could also be sold to the You family as a concubine, that would be sixty taels of silver. With this money, he could start over.

"Little brother, I have made you my friend, but how can I find you when the time comes?"

"Brother, when you are ready, just go to Jingmo and find a guy named Xiaoshan."

When Lan Qinghe heard that it was Jing Mo's man, he believed it instantly. He was so touched that he kept thanking him.

"Brother, hurry up, there's no time to lose, we have an agreement now."

Lan Wangshu stared at him and rubbed his hands together.

"I understand. I understand. I'll hand over the indenture with one hand and the money with the other. It's settled. I'll do it now."

Lan Wangshu heaved a sigh of relief only after Lan Qinghe walked away. He felt a little sorry for Zhou Xingnan. The incident happened suddenly and he had no time to make plans elsewhere. If it happened at Dingzhenlou and Zui Fusheng, it would definitely alert him. Now he had to think about how to apologize to Zhou Xingnan.

After a while, Lan Qinghe came back again. Her nerves were instantly tense and her mind was full of thoughts. Could it be that she was discovered?

"Little brother, you have a good brain. I have something I would like you to think of a solution for."

"What's the matter?"

Lan Wangshu smiled. As long as no one discovered who she was, it would be fine. But he had to act quickly because her voice would return to normal soon.

"The You family wants a concubine. I have a daughter. Do you have any ideas?"

"Why don't you let your daughter take her place? The county government is discussing this matter now. The old lady's household registration is invalid and she will suffer. Go and help her. Discuss with her to let your daughter take her place. Once the veil is put on and she is carried in, it will be settled. Isn't the money yours?"

Lan Wangshu's tone was full of bewitching. She looked at Lan Qinghe calmly, her eyes full of interest. She wanted to see how Lan Zhaozhao and old Mrs. Lan were getting themselves into trouble, and whether this doted second son had a conscience.

Didn't Lan Zhaozhao want to marry into a wealthy family and rise to prominence? I wonder how she would feel if it was her own father who cut off her wings. What's the point of killing someone and making blood spurt? Isn't it just about destroying their heart?

She stood there and waited for a while before walking around a few times and returning to Zui Fu Sheng.
