All the Storerooms in the House Were Empty
Jiang Yunyao cried uncontrollably, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at Jiang Yunyao and said:
"Are you willing to work for me? I need a trusted confidant in Great Qi."
However, you'll have to sign a contract of servitude. Ideally, the Jiang Family would sign one for me, and I can help you pay off all of the Jiang Family's debts."
Jiang Yunyao stared blankly at Zhou Wanwan. She really didn't expect a child to say such a thing.
Zhou Wanwan said:
"Actually, you have a great talent for business. The entire Qin Clan, including the entire army on the border of the Great Qi, depends on you for support."
It's just that you've always been insecure, and you invested too much in the early stages, so you can't extricate yourself.
I'll give you a chance to leave the Qin Clan, how about it?"
Jiang Yunyao slowly knelt down. "I'm willing, I'm willing to do anything for you, as long as my Jiang Family can survive."
Zhou Wanwan helped Jiang Yunyao up and said, "Well, it's about time."
Jiang Yunyao didn't understand what Zhou Wanwan was saying either. The Old Scholar Tree nearby said, "Everything's taken care of. The Qin Clan's study, all the valuables in the house have been moved away."
The Old Ancestor said, "I thought the Qin Clan was poor! They have plenty of gold and silver treasures in their treasury."
Zhou Wanwan said to the Old Scholar Tree, "Thank you for your hard work. Bring over two boxes of gold; I have a use for them."
The Old Scholar Tree responded and quickly brought over two boxes of gold.
Zhou Wanwan looked at Jiang Yunyao and said, "Use all of this to pay off debts, and your Jiang Family's debts will be wiped clean. You can go inside now!"
Jiang Yunyao took a deep breath before entering the Jiang Family.
The Jiang Family were stunned when they saw her. "Yao'er, why are you back now?"
Jiang Yunyao said, "Big brother, go out and bring in the two boxes of gold from the doorway!"
The eldest brother of the Jiang Family carried in two boxes of mirrors from the doorway. He took Jiang Yunyao's hand and said:
"Yao'er, I knew you had a way. You all saw it, didn't you?"
I told you Yao'er would help us!
Jiang Family's second brother patted Jiang Yunyao's head and said, "Yao'er, where did all this money come from? You didn't steal it from the Qin Clan, did you? You should take this money back."
Jiang Family's eldest sister-in-law shouted, "The debt needs to be paid off tomorrow! If we don't have the money, how will we pay it off?"
Jiang Yunyao tugged at the Jiang Family eldest brother and said, "Brother, I'd like to speak with you alone for a few minutes."
After they all left, Jiang Yunyao recounted what had happened.
The eldest brother of the Jiang Family hugged Jiang Yunyao and said:
"Yao'er, are you confused! What's so great about money?"
Our Jiang Family has been in business for generations. Are you worried about not being able to pay back those debts? Why do you have to sell yourself into slavery?
Jiang Yunyao shook her head and said:
"Brother, she can help me, and I have a feeling that she is someone I can entrust with my life, and I also think this is an opportunity."
Our Jiang Family has been merchants for generations, and the Qin Clan has always looked down on us. Now that things have come to this, the Qin Clan will definitely take advantage of our misfortune.
They won't let us get away with this. Brother, you're the head of the Jiang Family family. You should think carefully about whether you want to follow my master.
The eldest brother of the Jiang Family frowned and said, "Yao'er, do you think it's appropriate for me to sell myself to a six-year-old child?"
Jiang Yunyao looked earnestly at the Jiang Family eldest brother and said, "It's a good idea. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I would never harm the Jiang Family."
After pondering for a while, the eldest brother of the Jiang Family said, "Alright, I... I'll discuss it with the clan."
Jiang Yunyao nodded, but when Jiang Family eldest brother told the clan about it, everyone laughed.
"Jiang Wentao, are you out of your mind?"
You don't feel ashamed to be a slave to a 6-year-old child? We would feel ashamed!
"I think you've gone mad. If you want to be a slave, then go ahead and be one for as long as you want. Look at your Jiang Family now, how poor are you?"
Are you still planning to take our Jiang Clan with you to become slaves?
What kind of Spring and Autumn Annals dream are you having?
Jiang Wentao looked at them and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it. I'll go myself."
Jiang Yunyao's second brother also said, "That's right, if you're not going, we'll go."
Soon, the Jiang Family made their decision and decided to leave the Jiang Clan.
The Jiang Clan clan chief looked at them coldly and said, "Get out! Get as far away as possible and become your slaves! Don't ever come back."
Jiang Wentao looked at them and said, "Alright! We'll never meet again."
The tribesmen nearby said:
"Oh! They're rushing six-year-olds to be their servants! Do you see those kids?"
From now on, we'll all be proper lackeys, hahaha...
"The servant's children are all unable to attend school. It's utterly shameful. How could our Jiang Family produce such spendthrift sons?"
"Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself, you're such a bad omen."
The eldest sister-in-law looked at Jiang Yunyao and said, "Jiang Yunyao, what are you really up to? Why did you have to make things like this? Do you want us to become your servants?"
The second sister-in-law wiped away her tears and asked, "Yunyao, is the new master easy to talk to?"
Third Sister-in-law also looked worried as she gazed at the children behind her.
Jiang Yunyao comforted you, "Don't worry! The new master is very easy to talk to. As long as you obey, she won't make things difficult for you."
The Jiang Family was filled with unease. Jiang Yuntao had paid off all his debts and still had a dozen or so gold bars left.
He looked at Jiang Yunyao and said, "Yao'er, take this money and use it first."
Jiang Yunyao shook her head and said, "No need, Big Brother, I have to go back too, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Qin Clan finds out when it gets light."
"You're going back to the Qin Clan Qin Clan? What would you do there?"
Jiang Yunyao sneered:
"Of course I want revenge. I'll take it slowly, taking them down step by step. You guys stay at the Home Inn for now, and I'll come find you."
This is a token. Take this token to the Home Inn, and someone there will meet you.
After finishing her sentence, Jiang Yunyao hurriedly returned to the Qin Clan.
Fortunately, the Qin Clan members didn't get up early, so no one cared about her at all.
Jiang Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her room, and went to sleep.
She was woken up early the next morning by a commotion. Her maid rushed in, saying, "Miss, something terrible has happened! All the storerooms are empty, and even all the books in the entire library are gone!"
Jiang Yunyao got up and said, "Really? How could such a strange thing happen?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the entire Jiang Family has gone mad. Miss, please check if you're missing anything."
Jiang Yunyao chuckled and said, "What do I have here? Even if I'm missing something, it's nothing."
Only a few gold hairpins and a few pieces of clothing remained in Jiang Yunyao's room.
These are things she uses to decorate her image; if she didn't need to decorate her image, the Qin Clan probably wouldn't have left her these things.
Now that General Qin has a new woman, there's no need for her to embellish his image.
The maid opened the makeup box and said:
"Thank goodness, we didn't lose anything, but we did find a few pieces of jewelry."
These pieces of jewelry don't seem to belong to us!
Jiang Yunyao walked to the jewelry and stared at the pieces in disbelief.
She was certain that these pieces of jewelry were not in the makeup box.
Upon opening the wardrobe again, the Daya exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, look at the clothes! There are more than a dozen new outfits, and they're all brand new! How strange!"
Jiang Yunyao looked at the clothes and said, "Zhou Wanwan..."
"Huh?" The maid was also quite dumbfounded.
Then they heard cries of despair outside. "It's all over! We can't live like this! All our things are gone!"
"Bring that bitch out here. I want to ask her what exactly happened?"
A group of people aggressively summoned Jiang Yunyao outside. When they arrived at the main hall, even Jiang Yunyao was stunned.
Previously, the main hall was the most magnificent in terms of furnishings, with tables and chairs made of sandalwood.
It also contained all sorts of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and rare treasures, but now everything is gone.
Old Madam Qin looked at Jiang Yunyao and said:
"You moved all your things out of the house, didn't you? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Return the items, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I'll report it to the authorities.
