She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

"Miss! You've finally arrived!" The newcomer was none other than Bizhu. She nimbly sat down next to Shigu and pointed to the alley she had just come from, saying, "Young man, go that way!"

Shi Gu turned to ask Lu Huan for her opinion, and seeing that she nodded, he drove in the direction Bi Zhu pointed.

The Qin family's house was not far from the grain shop. When Lu Huan's maternal grandfather assigned them places, he specifically arranged for them to live nearby.

Therefore, their properties were all located close to their residences. This greatly facilitated Lu Huan's future actions.

"Bizhu, how many families have arrived already?"

Bizhu bit her lower lip, realizing that Lu Huan would find out the truth once she arrived, so she simply said, "Replying to Miss, five families have arrived so far."

Does it include your house?

"include."

Bizhu felt ashamed for her uncles.

When her family was released from their registered residence, Bizhu was not even ten years old. She still remembered how generous Master Cheng was—not only did he give the Qin family a grain shop, but he also gave them a large sum of money, and even handed over the grain shop's supply channels and connections to her father.

Now that the young lady needs to contact those people, they don't even show their faces; they are so cold-hearted.

Bizhu looked a little uneasy, but she tried to make amends for them, saying, "Miss, perhaps... perhaps they were delayed by something and may arrive later."

Five companies, less than half.

"Hmm," Lu Huan replied indifferently, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Gao Yan silently reached out and placed his hand on Lu Huan's hand, his fingers slowly slipping into her palm to gently massage away the pinch marks.

Lu Huan felt a warmth in her heart and smiled slightly at Gao Yan to indicate that she was alright.

She just felt it was unfair to her grandfather.

My grandfather went to great lengths to plan for his subordinates. While he certainly intended for them to take care of his daughter and granddaughter in the future, those people did indeed gain wealth that they could never earn in a lifetime.

Lu Huan recalled the humiliation of being kicked out of those families in her past life. She gently closed her eyes, not wanting Gao Yan to see her emotions and worry about her.

The most heartbreaking moment was long gone; now, Lu Huan was thinking about how to deal with the situation next.

With a whimper, the mule cart slowly came to a stop.

Above the black gate hangs a plaque with the words "Qin Residence".

Lu Huan knew they had arrived at their destination.

"Bizhu, please trouble Uncle Qin to prepare a room for me to put these boxes."

"okay!"

Bizhu immediately agreed and ordered the servants in the house to remove the thresholds and carry the chests. She herself led Lu Huan and Gao Yan toward the main hall.

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense at this moment.

"Old Qin, we understand what you're saying. Do you really want to go back to working under a little girl and live at her beck and call?"

After hearing this, Lu Huan clapped as he walked in: "Well said! Is that what everyone here thinks?"

Li Taihong, who had been speaking earlier, felt a little embarrassed when he realized that the person in question had overheard him.

But after all, he had been a manager for many years, and even Lu Huan's mother used to call him "Brother Li," so naturally he wouldn't take Lu Huan, a girl who had only been married for less than two years, seriously.

He hastily cupped his hands in a respectful gesture: "Miss Lu, although the old man has been kind to us, the capital he had back then was really not worth buying us for a lifetime."

Lu Huan remembered Li Taihong and continued, "Back then, Grandpa let you out because of our master-servant relationship; he couldn't bear to see you die along with the Cheng family. It was originally a win-win situation, but I never expected it to end up like this."

Now that my maternal grandfather and mother have both passed away for many years, neither of us has the desire to continue the relationship. I think it's better to just let it go.

"If you bring out the money my grandfather invested back then, along with the agreed-upon dividends from the past ten years, then we can part ways amicably."

"You're asking for the moon!" Li Taihong slammed his hand on the coffee table, stood up, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Qin Hui, who was seated at the head of the table. "Brother Qin, let's get together another day."

After saying that, he didn't look at Lu Huan again and walked straight out.

Lu Huan didn't try to stop them, but instead looked at the three people sitting on either side and asked, "Is anyone else leaving?"

Soon another person stood up, but he was not as forceful as Li Taihong. He bowed slightly to Lu Huan and said, "My general store is a small business, and most of the money in the account is invested in goods."

If I were to take out such a large sum of money all at once, I'm afraid my shop would have to go out of business.

Please forgive me, Miss!

Lu Huan glanced at the man and said, "Go if you want to."

Of the three people present, including Qin Hui, no one else showed any intention of standing up.

Lu Huan gave Gao Yan a wink, and the latter walked to the front of the main hall and closed the door.

The door to the main hall slammed shut with a loud bang, but Qin Hui remained calm, because his daughter had already given prior notice.

The two men sitting to the right were so frightened that they trembled and quickly said, "Miss, we'll bring the money tomorrow! No! We'll bring it over in a little while!"

"No rush, no rush." ​​Lu Huan walked to the left and sat down. "I suppose you two have thought it through? Are you sure you still want to keep your promise to Grandpa?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"What if I asked you to sell your properties and move south? For example, to the vicinity of Nanjing?"

Upon hearing Lu Huan's question, the two fell silent.

To be honest, these two were basically at the bottom of the group of eleven. Apart from Qin Hui, none of the truly wealthy individuals came.

It's likely that Li Taihong was an informant sent by those people to investigate. Once he confirmed Lu Huan's purpose, he simply made an excuse and left.

Qin Hui couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you serious? Back then, Master kept us in Yanjing City to take care of you and me!"

"Look at them, have they fulfilled their responsibilities?" Lu Huan gave a bitter smile and spoke first before he could speak again, "Forget it, life is all about fate. When fate runs out, it's over. There's no need to force it."

With Lu Huan's confirmation, one of them stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Miss! However, my daughter's husband's family is in Yanjing City. If we move away, I'm afraid they will suffer in their husband's family, and we will not follow you, Miss!"

Lu Huan nodded: "Okay, you can send five years' worth of dividends."

"Thank you, young lady!" The man bowed again and went back to raise the money.

Although they had to pay over three thousand taels of silver in one go, the sword of Damocles that had hung over their heads for years was finally removed, and their family finally gained true freedom. They no longer had to worry about being purged by high-ranking officials like the Cheng family.

Only Wang Yimu remained present.

He finally understood: Old Qin was a staunch supporter of the young lady. No wonder the master was willing to give Qin Hui the most important grain shop, while he himself only received a woodworking shop.

He glanced at Qin Hui, who sat calmly at the head of the table, then turned to look at the smiling young lady, and the hairs on the back of his neck immediately stood on end.

This young lady is just too much like the old man from before!
