The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

The shack was quiet for a while, and then bursts of low sobbing could be heard.

Qiwu heard that the miners inside were refugees who disappeared during the famine in the first half of the year.

At that time, there were rumors that many refugees were missing, but the rumors were suppressed by the remarks that the Tenth Prince had made great contributions in disaster relief and comforting the refugees.

Qiwu now understood how the Tenth Prince appeased the refugees. They were all captured to mine and worked themselves to death without anyone knowing. If there were fewer people, there would be no need to provide disaster relief or appease the refugees, and the relief funds could be embezzled.

Qiwu was so angry that she flew into the air and carefully drew the terrain, marking the location of the private iron mine on the map.

He stepped on the flying skateboard to activate the magic array, aimed at the Eleventh Prince's study room, which was already in a mansion outside and had the lights on, and threw it in.

The study window was quickly opened, and someone cautiously looked through it, only to find that there was no one around.

Lanterns were soon lit in the yard and many guards rushed in. After a fruitless search, a man dressed elegantly entered the study.

The two voices in the study were talking quietly, "Jin Fang, what do you think? Is it true? Arresting refugees and illegally opening an iron mine are both serious crimes."

Another calm voice said, "Whether it is true or not, we must investigate. This involves illegal iron mines and the whereabouts of refugees. If it is true, then the Tenth Prince will never be able to succeed."

"But we can't reveal this. Let's first investigate whether there are any private iron mines in this location, and then we can discuss other issues later."

Qiwu knew that this matter would not be left unresolved, so he went back first.

Qiwu waited for two days but still heard no news of any disturbance in the court.

She could only deal with the inquiring eyes of the people in the Marquis' Mansion first. She went to pay her respects to the old lady, the prince and the cousin were also there, and the old lady was holding the young master in her arms.

After Qiwu paid his respects, no one spoke in the room. The old lady was busy feeding snacks to her grandson.

The prince spoke first, "Qiwu, you are not well, go back and rest early."

Qiwu behaved very obediently. After paying his respects to the old lady, he also said hello to his cousin and then left.

Qi Wu walked out of the yard slowly, and opened the system to check. He heard the old lady in the room say with disdain, "Look at her sickly appearance. How can she bear a child for our mansion? Even if she does, it won't be healthy. Hurry up and grasp the channel for Liuli. Chen Li will list it. If you can't do it, stop it. Don't delay my son's future."

Qiwu did not miss the moment when the old lady said she was going to give birth, the ferocious look on the little boy's face in her arms suddenly appeared. It seemed that this wolf cub would not give up.

Since the prince has found something to trip him up in the court, the others should not sit idle and should get busy.

The Emperor would definitely feel uncomfortable knowing that the Tenth Prince has a private iron mine so close to Kyoto. As the Tenth Prince's uncle, the Crown Prince would definitely try his best to fill the gap. After all, one careless move could lead to the Emperor losing his favor.

Not only will the Marquisate lose the chance to restore its glory, but it may also be demoted, or even lose everything because of standing on the wrong side.

So the prince couldn't find fault with her for a long time.

Since the old lady is so idle all day, let's make things a little more troublesome for her. If she is too idle, she will eat too much. I will go to the old lady's warehouse and take a stroll so that she won't have money to eat so much.

As for the young master, he poisoned Qiwu because he was afraid that the birth of a child would affect his position as heir, so why not have a few more children to broaden his horizons?

The former wife, Wang, came from a prominent family and had strict management of the backyard, so no illegitimate sons or daughters were born.

But ever since Qiwu came, the yard has been full of beauty.

Qiwu returned to the courtyard and asked the managers of each room to report their work before leaving. She planned to finalize the promotion of several maids today.

She called over a few maids who were part of the dowry and had those thoughts in mind.

After entering the mansion, several people had affairs with the prince. Qiwu had never instructed the mansion to provide contraceptive soup to the concubines, so several people who were called were pregnant.

Even though she was pregnant, she did not receive any promotion in rank and was merely regarded as a maid.

There was a maid who had entered the study room on her own, but she found an excuse to say that she didn't want to come, probably because she was afraid that she would do something to the child.

I don’t know if she will regret it after she finds out why Qiwu asked them to come.

Qiwu sat on a chair, looking at the beautiful faces of the girls even though they were pregnant, and with a smile, he told Xing'er to bring a tray of jewelry and told everyone to come forward.

"I have been in the mansion for so long. The clan sent you all here to help me. I am a little tired after I got sick this time. I just found out that you are pregnant."

Qiwu picked up the bracelets on the tray and put them on the hands of several people one by one. Each person got a bracelet.

"Whoever gets pregnant will have the child sent to me. The child will be under my name, and you will have a safe place to live in the rest of your lives. Since you are pregnant, I will decide to give you a promotion."

He waved his hand and gave an order, "From now on, these four are all concubines. Clean up the west yard, and the four concubines can move in."

Several people knelt down to pay their respects in gratitude, then left one by one.

Xing Er was puzzled. "Miss, don't you always care about these things?"

Qiwu took off her hair crown in front of the mirror.

"Compared to me, who has no movement in my belly, there will be children born by concubines all over the yard. I have also spread the word that I am going to adopt a child under my own name. Then this child will be the first in line except for the legitimate son. At that time, if the legitimate son is in trouble, everyone's children, regardless of age, will have the hope of competing for the heir. The title of first in line is very important.

For the young master, all children could be his enemies. This child under my name has the advantage of status, whether I am still alive or not. "

Everyone is waiting for the eldest son to make a mistake. She will just keep an eye on him and find something to hold against him, and prevent him from hurting innocent children. Then the young master will be anxious.

Now it was the old lady’s turn, she was a person who would not wait for revenge within her capabilities.

Qiwu secretly asked Xing'er to watch over her. She took off her jewelry, wrapped her hair, changed into neat clothes, stepped on the flying skateboard from the back window, and flew out by turning on the magic array to become invisible.

It was already evening, and the sky was dark, but there was still a glimmer of light. The lanterns had not yet been hung in the yard, and now was the old lady's meal time.

Most of the servants in the yard were busy preparing meals for the masters of the mansion, so there were many people walking around in the yard.

Because Qiwu used the excuse of having no appetite to skip the dinner order, Qiwu's yard was the quietest at this moment.

Qiwu stood on the flying skateboard, activated the magic array, and carefully approached the old lady's yard.

The first time Qiwu came out on his flying skateboard, it was not completely dark yet. After careful observation, he found that there were shadows on the ground that were not covered by the magic array.

He just chose a roof to land on, and prepared to enter the yard after dark.

Qiwu was bored on the rooftop and opened the system to explore, when he suddenly came across a big melon.

There was a strange male voice in my cousin's room.
