After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Qin Jiu and Yu Ling immediately looked at Qin Wanyou seriously.

Qin Wanyou looked out the window at the sky and said, “The summer crops such as rice have already begun to be harvested. You should go to Xiling County and the cities and counties downstream of Yanjiang as soon as possible to purchase grain. Part of the grain should be transported back to Yandu City, and the rest should be secretly transported to Longshan County, which is at a higher altitude, and hidden there. At the same time, you should have people clear the drainage channels in the villages and fields of Xiling County as soon as possible. Do not block them. All streams and rivers should be cleared to the major rivers.”

Yu Ling asked, puzzled, "Miss, why are we collecting the grain now?"

Prices are only low when harvested in October.

But Qin Jiu immediately realized something was wrong. "Sect Master, is a flood about to occur?"

Qin Wanyou recalled that in her previous life, from late July to mid-August, the Yanjiang River basin of the Great Yan suffered from a torrential rain that lasted for twenty days, causing severe flooding that almost destroyed all the hard work everyone had put in over the years.

"The Great Yan has not experienced any major disasters for ten years. I heard that in early spring this year, a severe cholera outbreak occurred in Chu Yue; not long ago, the Jiang Dynasty suffered a fire followed by a very rare earthquake, which killed many people. We must also take precautions."

This was something she only learned later in her previous life. Qin Wanyou looked at them very seriously and said, "I know you must be wondering, but I don't need you to raise any questions. You just need to do as I say."

Yu Ling and Qin Jiu immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master."

“We are short-handed right now. Yuling, if you see any reliable people in Xihua Lane, you can use them. Fengling will keep an eye on things here for now, and I will come and check on things from time to time.”

Yu Ling accepted the order, "Yes, Miss."

Qin Wanyou looked outside and saw that the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless. Calculating the time, it would soon be mid-June, and there was still more than a month to go. She needed to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Seeing Qin Wanyou's anxious expression, Qin Jiu finally spoke up, "Sect Leader, I have a few people I can use. If you trust me, I can let them do it."

Qin Wanyou turned and stared at Qin Jiu for a moment. "Alright, but you must act secretly and protect yourselves. I will give you the token of the magistrate of Xiling County. You should have the magistrate order the people to harvest the rice and then work together to dredge the waterways, reminding them to plant more water-loving crops in the second half of the year, such as water chestnuts."

Then, after a pause, he said, "If you still want to plant corn and wheat, don't force them too much. You can remind other cities and counties as you see fit. Focus on grain harvesting. We've done what we should do."

Yu Ling and Qin Jiu should be.

Qin Wanyou thought that even if she told the emperor, he probably wouldn't believe her. He thought she wasn't a savior, that she wasn't so great and selfless, and that she wouldn't expose the secret of her rebirth and sacrifice her life to save a stranger.

After giving the instructions, seeing that it was getting late, he returned to the Prime Minister's residence with Shuangling.

The next day, Qin Wanyou received a gift personally delivered to her by the steward of the Regent's Palace. The steward emphasized that he had heard the palace was in financial straits and the Second Miss couldn't afford to buy jewelry while shopping. This was a piece of jewelry personally selected and given to the Second Miss by the Prince of Murong.

Originally, when Madam Li learned about what happened at Baoxiang Tower yesterday, she wanted to scold Qin Wanyou for slandering the young lady of the Marquis of Changping's mansion. However, before she could speak, she saw the gifts sent by the Regent's Mansion.

Li was extremely jealous and kept cursing the bitch in her heart.

Seeing so many fine things sent by the Regent's Palace, he was extremely envious and planned to take them away and let Mingzhu choose them as soon as the palace steward left.

Looking at the two large boxes of jewelry, Qin Wanyou wondered what Murong Xiao meant. Hadn't they already agreed to continue living their own lives?

However, one cannot refuse a smiling face, and seeing how enthusiastic the steward of the Prince's mansion was, it was too embarrassing to refuse in front of the Qin couple, so he happily accepted the gift.

After seeing off the Prince's steward, Madam Li immediately stepped forward and said, "Wanyou, you're still young, I'll keep these for you for now."

Qin Wanyou quickly took the items and handed them to Shuangling. "No need, Mother. I can keep these myself. Otherwise, next time I go out, I'll only have five taels of silver on me, and people will laugh at me for not being able to afford the jewelry from Baoxianglou and mock the poverty of the Prime Minister's residence. That's why my sister did such a shameful thing to curry favor with the First Prince."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Qin flew into a rage, glaring at Li Shi, "You stupid woman! You only gave me five taels to go out and buy jewelry? And people found out! Don't you think our Prime Minister's residence has lost enough face?"

Li's heart trembled slightly. "Master, I... I was just afraid she would be deceived by someone outside."

Qin Wanyou gazed at Madam Li, "Mother, I'm fifteen now, and I'll be sixteen after the New Year. I'm not a child anymore. Besides, when you asked Granny Li to give me five taels of silver, you also told me to buy jewelry. So I used the five taels of silver to buy a few wooden hairpins, one for each of you. Let's wear them together to celebrate Grandmother's birthday tomorrow!"

After saying that, he took out the wooden hairpin that he had bought for about ten coins at a street stall when he came back yesterday.

Li looked at it with disgust, as if she had seen some kind of garbage or filth. "Where did you pick up this filth from?"

Qin Wanyou held the hairpin up in front of Madam Li. "Mother, this is what I bought with the five taels of silver you gave me! I originally wanted to buy a jade hairpin, but the shopkeeper said that with five taels of silver, I couldn't even buy a small jade pendant, let alone a jade hairpin. I had no choice but to buy this. Otherwise, Mother, could you take five taels of silver to Baoxianglou today and buy a jade hairpin?"

Looking at the branch that looked as if it had just been broken off the tree, Prime Minister Qin was extremely disgusted. "Quickly give Wanyou fifty taels of silver and buy a new one."

Otherwise, the Prime Minister's residence will truly lose face tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Li asked, "Fifty taels?"

Damn!

"Fifty taels? Master, you're not in charge of the household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are. The entire Prime Minister's family still needs to eat, where would we get so much money for her?"

Qin Wanyou suddenly cried out loudly, "Mother!"

Then, staring intently at Madam Li, he spoke clearly, word by word, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never received a monthly allowance from you, nor have I ever gone out to shop for clothes or jewelry. Over the years, my elder brother, sister, and younger brother have gone out to travel and bought clothes, jewelry, and all sorts of things. If the total amount is not tens of thousands, it must be at least several thousand, right? And I only have five taels? I can't help but wonder if I am really your daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Li's pupils dilated, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Qin Xiang was also startled and shouted, "Wanyou! What are you saying? Of course you are her biological daughter."

Qin Wanyou smiled sarcastically, "Then may I ask Father, why is it that my sister's jewelry costs more than fifty taels, while I have never received fifty taels in my life? Or is it that the Prime Minister's mansion has been supporting the whole family with my monthly salary all these years?"

Isn't it?

Over the years, they have used my reputation to recruit countless experts, done countless shady things, and embezzled a great deal of money.

Qin Xiang felt somewhat guilty. "Your father has neglected you these past years, but I will never forget what is rightfully yours. I've remembered it all." Then he turned and shouted at Li Shi.

"What kind of mother are you? Go and give Wanyou one hundred taels of silver, or you can forget about this household and hand over the keys to the accounting room to your mother."

Madam Li looked at Prime Minister Qin in disbelief, "Master?"

Qin Xiang ignored Li's confusion and said, "Why aren't you going to get it?"

In the end, Li could only give Qin Wanyou the money, cursing her incessantly in her heart.

Qin Wanyou knew without guessing that Prime Minister Qin was definitely plotting something shady for her.

However, it also depends on whether you follow his ideas or not.

Having received the money, he naturally went out again.
