Chapter 176 Big Gift
Seeing He Yuyan's puzzled look.
Wu Weiwei smiled faintly at them and said, "Sister He, please accept this generous gift from this young master."
I'm afraid that before she can even enjoy it, someone will take it back.
After saying this, Wu Weiwei led her people away from the auction house with a happy expression.
"Young Master, this... why don't you take it back?"
Judging from Wu Weiwei's tone, she seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
Thinking back to what happened with Xiao Rong last time.
He Yuyan preferred to believe it was true rather than not.
"No, Sister He, since I've already ordered the pills and given them to you."
I definitely won't take it back, so just accept it!
He Yuyan stared at him.
Since the young master has said so, I have no choice but to accept it.
Inn.
When Ma Hongmao learned that the pills he had given away that day had actually been auctioned off for a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan each.
I was filled with mortifying regret.
If I had known, I would have entrusted it to Jubaolou for auction.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Fortunately, he didn't suffer any losses.
Chen Minghui lent him 500,000 taels of silver, and without charging a single penny of interest.
The same thing happened to Rong Sheng.
However, what puzzled him was the origin of the few Baoji pills at Jubaolou.
To be precise, a total of five Baoji Ginseng Pills were actually developed.
He kept one at home and gave two to the emperor.
Ma Hongmao also gave him one, but I heard he gave it to the Duke of Chen's mansion.
As for today's auction.
It probably belongs to the Crown Prince.
But if it's in the Crown Prince's possession, how do you explain the other three?
Could it be...
Thinking about what his younger sister had said today, Rong Sheng fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he revealed a chilling look.
It seems that, just as the eldest sister said, this Aunt Wu had to be eliminated for the sake of their plan.
In the dark alley, Qin Baihe secretly opened the back door and went out.
"Miss Qin, I have found the young man you wanted."
These male prostitutes are all incredibly handsome.
You'd better tell them to be gentle with them, don't break them..."
In the dimly lit room, seven or eight handsome boys huddled together, looking at Qin Baihe with fear on their faces.
"Don't be afraid, just do as I say, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury from now on..."
Qin Baihe glared at them fiercely.
"Or do you want to continue starving in the future?"
"No, I don't want to go hungry, I want to eat something delicious..."
A handsome young man stepped forward.
The fierce-looking old man had just told them that their job was actually not difficult.
It was just chatting with the lady and giving her a massage.
That way, we can make sure they eat and drink well and have enough to eat from now on.
If you find a good one, you might even be able to raise them in a big house, so they'll never have to worry about food or drink again.
Isn't this kind of life better than them being beaten and scolded outside and not having enough to eat?
"I, I do too!"
Another young man, dressed in tattered clothes but with strikingly handsome features, stepped forward.
"Me too."
He also has a younger brother.
It doesn't matter if I don't have food to eat, but my younger brother needs to live.
He was willing to do this job so that his younger brother could live.
In the end, only two boys were left.
Qin Baihe looked at the two boys cowering in the corner, but did not force them.
She wanted to show them that there was nothing shameful about doing this kind of work.
As long as you can have enough to eat and live a good life, what does that pitiful self-esteem matter?
These days, people laugh at poverty but not prostitution.
What's the point of clinging to that ridiculous pride when you can't even support yourself?
Qin Baihe led the six boys who were willing to go with her through several alleys.
Then I went back in through the back door I had just come out through.
Yongchun Lane.
The Yongning Earl's Mansion.
When Madam Jiang learned that her son had taken 100,000 taels of silver that she had secretly kept and used it to buy some worthless medicine, she was shocked.
I was so angry I almost fainted.
"Yuan'er, you've been tricked."
How could you be so silly?
My dear son, go and get that medicine back quickly.
"Let's return it. Can you tell the auction house we don't want it anymore and ask them to refund the money?"
"Mother, it's impossible to get a refund. The auction house's rule is that once an item is auctioned, it cannot be returned."
My son can't bear the shame..."
"You, what can I say about you?"
The money you took today was your uncle's life-saving money, which he entrusted to me for safekeeping.
Our Earl's mansion has been utterly ruined by your father.
Where did the 100,000 taels of silver come from…?
"Mother, my uncles' business in Jiangnan is thriving."
How is this money considered life-saving money?
Mrs. Jiang looked at her ignorant son and felt worried.
Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, her eldest brother came to Beijing to visit her.
He also asked her to raise money to do salt business with him.
Although the salt trade was prohibited, it was possible for them to operate because they had powerful connections.
These people can easily pick up small amounts of money by simply following behind.
Jiang's mother was tempted by the offer and finally managed to scrape together five thousand taels of silver.
I heard a few days ago that Envoy Lu had investigated Jiangnan.
The elder brother was afraid of being investigated, so he ordered his men to put all the money he had earned into her account.
But who knew that her ignorant son would be so easily misled?
They took all 100,000 taels of silver that she had hidden.
And to make matters worse, he bought a worthless medicine.
The crucial point is that she had never even seen what the medicine looked like.
According to my son's servant, the miraculous medicine was given by my son to one of the concubines of the Marquis of Dingguo's son, the heir apparent.
This……
How could she not be angry?
Furthermore, wasn't the concubine who delivered the medicine to the son one of Commander Lu's people?
"Look at you, what kind of mess have you made..."
If it weren't for her son's epilepsy, Jiang's mother would probably have had him punished by family discipline by now.
"Jiang Yuanhua, I give you my orders."
"Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the Marquis of Dingguo's residence and demand that this 'Baoji Ginseng Pill' be returned to me!"
"I dont go."
"If you won't go, I will!"
Jiang left angrily.
Watching his mother's departing figure, Jiang Yuanhua felt a pang of unease.
Sister He saved his life, and his parents had already expressed their gratitude on his behalf.
Sister Kehe is in trouble now, how can he just stand by and do nothing?
Biyunting.
"Little Stone, you seem to be in a good mood today."
Lingfu, who was hanging clothes to dry in the yard, saw the smile on Xiaoshitou's face.
Then I knew he must have brought good news.
"Indeed, is your aunt inside?"
The little stone pointed into the house.
"Yes, Auntie is reading. You can go now!"
Wu Weiwei naturally heard Xiao Shitou's voice.
She put down her book and looked at him quietly.
"Little Stone, what news have you found out today?"
Little Stone touched his head and said mysteriously:
"Master, the message I bring today will surely please you."
"Oh, what is it?"
"It's about Wei Garden, and what I'm about to tell you might scare you to death..."
Wu Weiwei was surprised.
What news is so shocking?
“Master, last night when Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu were on duty at Wei Garden.”
They actually saw Qin Baihe leading a group of teenagers sneaking into the back gate of Wei Garden.
What do you think she's trying to do?
