An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"You don't have much silver with you, do you?"

Tao Jin frowned, his tone filled with concern.

He thought of the various actions of the Jing family in Yamen Village and Leizhou. Each of them required a lot of money to support, and most of these things might need to be handled by Jing Chunxi.

Tao Jin felt that Jing Chunxi must have a hard time in the capital.

After all, my grandparents' family had just experienced the blow of property confiscation and exile, so there must not be much left.

Her mother, a divorced woman with a son and a daughter, must have had a very difficult life. Even Jing Chunxi, no matter how capable she was, was still a weak woman, struggling alone in the capital, so her life must have been very difficult.

"Not bad!" Jing Chunxi worked hard with a guilty conscience, his eyes dodging and his noncommittal look made Tao Jin feel that his guess was correct.

Jing Chunxi couldn't say that he was not short of money, as the money didn't come from the wind.

But she also didn't want Tao Jin to think she was too poor. She didn't want to be pitied by others. She also didn't want others to think she was someone who lived on the savings of her elders.

However, her behavior made Tao Jin feel that she was admitting that she was short of money, which made him feel distressed for some reason.

"Take these banknotes first."

What Tao Jin handed over was a palm-sized wooden box. The wood was very ordinary and looked inconspicuous.

Jing Chunxi wanted to say loudly that he was not short of money, but on the surface he declined: "How can that be?"

She was conflicted, not wanting to accept Tao Jin's kindness, but also not wanting him to think she was ungrateful.

"Just return the porcelain and tea to me after you sell them."

Tao Jin's words made Jing Chunxi feel uncomfortable to refuse, but he shouldn't take advantage of others in this way.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then you must be included in the profits."

Jing Chunxi had assumed the box he'd forced upon her contained only a few thousand taels of silver, but when she opened it, she was stunned. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes, all in substantial denominations, at least thirty or fifty thousand taels.

What should I do? Jing Chunxi muttered quietly, not afraid that the other party would hear: "Is it so easy to make a living under the watchful eyes of my stepmother?"

She was surprised and a little envious and jealous. She looked at Tao Jin with a questioning look. Isn't it said that a child without a mother is a weed?

Tao Jin was stunned by Jing Chunxi's gaze and realized he was misunderstood. He hadn't said life was difficult, and the little girl was just assuming things.

Seeing the little girl's surprise, he seemed reluctant to accept the banknote, so he continued, "Just consider it my investment. I don't need the money now anyway."

Jing Chunxi thought this was fine, so he said, "Then when you marry your sister-in-law, I will pay you back with interest and give you a generous gift of my own."

Tao Jin was unfamiliar with the term "sister-in-law". After a moment of silence, he finally realized what was meant and was a little speechless. "That's fine, but you're thinking too far ahead."

Jing Chunxi thought to herself, wasn't it you who sent the letter first? She thought about it and decided that even without mentioning the huge sum of money Tao Jin had invested, just based on the information he had passed on to her, he should be counted as a member of the group. That made sense.

Without the hint in his secret letter, they would not have made this trip to Jiujiang County and Jian'an County, let alone made any money.

So I feel at ease only when the money is divided among everyone.

The meal lasted until the lights came on. Jing Chunxi stood at the window, looking at the bright lights and feasting below, at the "nobles" who were so drunk they could barely walk, surrounded by beauties, and gnashed his teeth, saying, "These two bastard officials have ruined the people of this area."

She suddenly turned to look at Tao Jin and asked seriously, "Are they all trying to make money for the Crown Prince? Doesn't that damn Emperor care?"

Tao Jin was speechless after being asked this question and did not speak for a long time.

Jing Chunxi asked again: "Has the silver been transported back to the capital? Does he dare to take it back to the Eastern Palace?" She thought to herself, it would be great if the silver was not in the palace. With the abilities of herself and her subordinates, Jing Chunxi felt that it would be a bit difficult to break into the palace and steal.

Just wait a little longer!
