Qu Yunchu secretly pinched the banknote stub in his arms, fearing that he might have no choice but to spit it out to help the two brothers resolve the Lu family's crisis.

"How much money are you still short of?"

Qu Yunchu looked at Lu Wenjing and asked anxiously.

Even with the current situation of the Lu family, the money he has is only a drop in the bucket.

"Don't say it, I'm afraid it will cost 300 million taels."

Lu Wenjing said with a bitter face: "A few days ago, my mother has asked each house to raise money. Now the house really can't raise any money."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of boys coming in panting carrying boxes of various sizes.

The leading female envoy took a booklet, respectfully bowed to several people, and then slowly said: "Second Master, this is the dowry list of my young lady Sun. Young lady Sun said that it was Young Master Sun who was involved. For everyone, she cannot solve the crisis for the Lu family, and is willing to donate all her belongings to help the Lu family tide over the difficulties."

Lu Wenqian and Qu Yunchu looked at each other, feeling pleased with Tang Youning's move.

"Since it is what You Ning wants, Wen Jing, just accept it."

Lu Wenqian didn't show any pretense and directly accepted Tang Youning's dowry.

Lu Wenjing took the account book and waited until the boys in Qirong Courtyard left. He carefully checked the accounts and then frowned and said, "You Ning is quite generous. The more than [-] yuan donated by the family is already a private thought." She has spent all her dowry money, but it’s a pity that it’s still a drop in the bucket.”

Seeing how worried he was, Qu Yunchu decisively took out the banknote stub and handed it to Lu Wenjing.

"You take the 200 million taels first, and I'll ask Keyan to get the rest. It won't be a problem to make up 300 million taels."

After Qu Yunchu finished speaking, he immediately ordered Keyan to collect some money.

Apart from the money earned from Lu Yanchao and Tang Youning for the construction of Taoist temples in Changqing, there is still a lot left over. Together, these funds can just solve the Lu family's urgent needs.

Lu Wenqian looked at the banknote stub with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"Where did you get such a large sum of money?"

Both brothers were a little confused.

Everyone knows that she made money from Lu Yanchao and Tang Youning before, but why did such a large sum of money suddenly appear?
Qu Yunchu raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled indifferently: "The second master is really a noble man who forgets things. From last year to the present, the second master has allocated 200 million taels of silver from the Xiyuan Bank, and now he has just returned it to the second master in a penny. It’s my father.”

"I actually allocated such a large sum of money to you?"

Lu Wenqian even found it a bit incredible to himself.

I didn't think that 200 million taels of silver was a huge amount of money in the past, but looking at it now, it is simply an astronomical figure.

Lu Wenjing was also amazed: "So, second sister-in-law, you didn't lose any money at Hongshun Gambling House?"

"Let's put it this way."

Qu Yunchu laughed.

If you calculate it carefully, the tens of thousands of taels of silver that those who inquired for information and put out during the show were actually lost to those gamblers.

Lu Wenjing was even more in awe of her: "So, the second sister-in-law took over Liu Quan effortlessly and made him willing to be used by you?"

Hearing this, Lu Wenqian couldn't help but look at her dumbfounded.I'm afraid it's not that stupid people are lucky. Liu Quan is such a shrewd and calculating person. He never thought that Lu Qu would make people work hard without spending any money.

Hey, he suddenly felt that he had won by defeating Mrs. Hua.

He was very moved, but he stood up quietly and went back to the back room without saying anything.

Lu Wenjing saw his brother like this for the first time, and he guessed in his heart that his brother was at a loss. Perhaps even he himself did not expect that his second sister-in-law would step forward at the critical moment.

"Second sister-in-law, you should go in and have a rest. I'll go out and deal with those debt collectors."

Lu Wenjing said with a smile.

"You must be more cautious, and don't let the Song family find mistakes."

Qu Yunchu gave some instructions and went back to the attic.

Lu Wenjing asked someone to count the silver coins, and quickly went out with the banknotes.

There was a lot of commotion outside the house.

A steady stream of people gathered in front of the Lu Mansion. The usually arrogant young men were like deflated rubber balls. They just stood in front of the Mansion in a daze, not daring to say a word.

"We have exhausted all our benevolence. We have waited for so long and still haven't received any money. I'm afraid the Lu family's money has already been paid to the government."

"Then what should we do? We have to get the money back before the Lu family is completely defeated."

"Anyway, the Lu family has lost power now. We might as well break in together. There are always a few valuables in the house. It's better to take what needs to be moved than waiting like this."

Hearing that there were people everywhere who were wantonly provoking and confusing, Lu Wenchi was so anxious that sweat was dripping from his forehead, so he had to move out the new head of the family:
"Under the Emperor's feet, please don't mess around. Our eldest brother is now in charge of the Lu family again and is raising money. Sooner or later, the money will be delivered to everyone..."

Before he could finish his sentence, someone interrupted him with a sneer: "You're talking about Lu Wenqian. In the past, we respected him as a big figure, but since we got married, look what he has become. He has been surrounded by people all day long. The prodigal women in his courtyard have been bewitched to the point of disowning all his relatives. I am afraid that all the furniture Mr. Lu has accumulated over the years has been completely destroyed by the Lu Shen family in his heart."

"Don't talk nonsense, our second sister-in-law is not as miserable as you think."

Lu Wenchi tried his best to defend himself, but amidst the condemnation from everyone, his words seemed particularly weak.

"Lu Wenchi, don't blame everyone for being disrespectful. Who in Yanyang City doesn't know the virtues of your second sister-in-law? She killed her adoptive father, forced her adoptive mother to become a monk, and married into the Lu family and harmed your Lu family. Now that she has fallen into such a situation, she is really a loser. I advise you to drive this loser out of the house as soon as possible. Maybe the Lu family can really come back to life."

After hearing this, Lu Wenchi glanced at the man fiercely.

Seeing that this person was Jia Nian, a wealthy silk merchant who once made his fortune from the Lu family, he felt depressed again.

It's just that others come to add insult to injury. His second brother saved his whole family and gave them a way to survive.

"Jia Nian, you ungrateful thing. If it weren't for my second brother, your family would have become dry bones in the grave. You wouldn't be as rich as you are today. It's just that you don't remember the kindness of my Lu family. Where did it come from? Your face is so scolding of my second brother and second sister-in-law."

Lu Wenchi cursed angrily and saw the fourth child, Lu Wenjing, walking out.

"Wen Chi, what are you arguing with a vicious dog who only sees profit and forgets justice? He always begs for mercy from anyone who gives him a bone. How can he know what etiquette, justice and shame are?"

Lu Wenjing just listened to what his second brother and sister-in-law said in the courtyard, and now he naturally realized that these individuals were sent by the Song family to persecute the Lu family.

Song Chuyuan just wanted to use this clumsy trick to force the Lu family to sell all their properties to him at a low price. This idea was really sinister.
