The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Let Xing'er go to the rouge shop and return the indentures to the remaining people.

Xing Er brought the maid to block the door.

"Madam, please be merciful and return your indentures. You don't have to pay any money. Now everyone can only take their own things. Let's go now."

Three of the maids were particularly happy, while a younger one looked resentful and wanted to struggle.

Under the supervision of the maid brought by Xing'er, each person could only take a few sets of clothes with them. It was impossible to sneak anything in under so many eyes.

The three happy maids didn't have much. Each of them had only four sets of clothes, all of which were standard clothes in the shop. Each of them had only a small bundle of personal belongings and some needles and thread, and only three or four taels of silver.

The maids carefully checked the bedding to see if there was anything hidden in it and allowed them to take the bedding away, which made the three people even happier.

The maid had an indignant expression, her clothes were obviously made of much better material, and she lived in an independent bedroom.

There is everything from a wardrobe to a dressing table, just like a young lady's boudoir.

The maids stopped her outside, and two servant girls went in, packed all her clothes into a large box, and did not allow her to take any of the other jewellery with her. Although the jewellery was not luxurious, it was obviously not something a maid should have.

In the teahouse on Qiwu's side, because Qiwu didn't say anything, the shopkeeper, who was observing Qiwu's expressions at the beginning, gradually began to sweat profusely.

When Xing'er brought people over, the shopkeeper's face gradually turned pale.

Qiwu put down the teacup and said, "You probably know why I asked you to come."

The shopkeeper lowered his head and said nothing.

"You really have the imagination to use the income from my shop to subsidize the third young master of the clan. I have never seen a concubine giving money to a young master. You have been included in my dowry. Does the third young master really value you?" Qiwu looked at her.

The shopkeeper began to tremble a little.

Qiwu glanced at the shopkeeper and asked Xing'er to bring in the young maid with an indignant expression.

When the young maid saw the shopkeeper trembling, her face turned pale and she knelt beside him in fear.

When the shopkeeper's maid came in, his eyes turned red and he kowtowed continuously.

Qi Wu stood up and said, "Don't say that I didn't give Third Young Master face. If you honestly give up the money you embezzled, I will send you and your daughter back to Third Young Master.

Otherwise, I will send you to the clan leader. A smart person like you can probably guess how the clan leader will deal with you in order to appease me."

The shopkeeper crawled over on his knees and chased after Qiwu, begging him.

Qiwu said a few words to Xing'er and then turned and left.

Xing Er walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "Alright, stop knocking. Madam, please be merciful and pay me 1200 taels for the past few months, and you can leave. The indenture will be placed in the small courtyard you bought."

The shopkeeper looked up in disbelief. The small courtyard was registered in the name of her distant relative, and the lady actually knew where her property was hidden.

Xing'er took the people to get the silver. The shopkeeper didn't have enough silver, so he took out the title deed of the yard and sold it to pay for the silver.

The shopkeeper and the maid stood in the yard in panic. Xing'er cleared out all the shopkeeper's things in the yard and said, "Don't say that the lady didn't show mercy. Your things are worth about two hundred taels. You can take them all."

The shopkeeper thanked him profusely and left with the box.

Xing Er looked at the three happy maids who had watched the whole process.

"I'll give you three ten taels of silver each for your journey home. If you don't want to go home, you can still take the silver and find a job at the embroidery workshop owned by Madam."

There was no need to be so troublesome for the manor outside the city. Just let Xing'er send the manor's family away.

The teahouse was the compensation given to her by the clan leader in exchange for Liuli. It had not yet started business, but because of its good location, it was easy to sell.

The deed to the teahouse, the land deed to the farm, the deed to the rouge shop, and the small courtyard of the owner of the rouge shop were all sold together by the middleman.

I got more than four thousand taels.

Qiwu exchanged the silver notes for gold ingots and took them to the silver shop. The manager in the silver shop had already been replaced by her.

Ask the manager to use all the banknotes to purchase top-quality jewelry materials and devote all his efforts to making high-end jewelry.

The red-gold Qilin Eight Treasures Incense Burner that was sold in the store last time was very popular among the merchants in the plane.

The store has now recruited several top jewelry craftsmen, who make jewelry with extreme display of skill, regardless of cost, and are mainly supplied to Qiwu to be sold to other planes.

This time, Qiwu exchanged all the silver notes for gold ingots. On the one hand, he wanted to make jewelry for the silver shop. On the other hand, the Marquis' Mansion was too shameless, like a broken sieve.

The Marquis' Mansion would know how much money she got from selling the shop soon. If she brought the money into the Marquis' Mansion, they would find a reason to take it back soon.

She didn't want to support that bunch of termites.

When Qiwu left, he took away all the jewelry he had made. The jewelry on display in the store was made by apprentices using low-end products. The quality was not high.

Besides, the people are their own, and the Marquis' Mansion will not know for a while that there are so many treasures in this silver shop that sells low-end jewelry.

As soon as the next batch of jewelry is made, Qiwu will take it away early and will never give the Marquis' Mansion a chance to interfere.

Qiwu took out a box that had been prepared in advance from the carriage, and sure enough, when she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the prince was already waiting for her in the yard.

Qiwu paused.

The prince chatted with her about family matters like a normal couple, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the wooden box that Xing'er was holding.

Qiwu pretended to be happy and chatted with the prince, while signaling Xing'er to leave.

The prince stopped Xing'er and said, "What is this? Let your husband taste it for you."

Without waiting for Qiwu to stop her, a nanny stepped forward and opened the box in Xing'er's hand.

There was plenty of light in the room, which shone into the box and reflected a sparkling light.

The prince walked forward quickly, picked it up and looked at it carefully under the light.

This is a pen holder inlaid with blue diamonds. It glows in the sun, and the room is full of twinkling spots of light. Although each diamond is small, there are so many of them, so the price is not cheap. The prince thinks it must be more than two thousand taels.

There is also a fine wolf-hair brush in the box, with a large diamond on the top.

After all this, I’m afraid most of the money Qiwu earned from selling his shop was gone.

The prince held the box tightly in his hand and said, "Madam, I didn't expect you to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady so early. But it surpasses my husband's gift. I will give it to the old lady for you so that she can be happy in advance."

"No...Prince, this is..."

The prince took the box and turned to leave. The group of maids and nannies he brought with him blocked Qiwu's way intentionally or unintentionally. The large number of farewells blocked Qiwu's refusal that was about to come out.

After everyone left, Qiwu closed the door and chatted with Tutu in a relaxed manner.

These days, Qiwu was running the shop, and Tutu almost watched the whole process.

"Is it okay for the prince to take the diamond pen holder? Will it have any impact on shipping it to other places in the future?"
