Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 493: More than 700 million taels, shocking Aunt Zhao

"Anyway, I have figured it out. As long as we have the more than 100,000 taels from the Rongguo Mansion, the future lives of the three of us, mother and son, will be guaranteed. No matter how much money we have, it will be of no use to us. It is better to return it than to keep it in our hands and affect your cultivation."

Jia Huan never expected that his adoptive mother would be so aware. He thought she was really greedy for money, but he didn't expect she was so clear-sighted. He thought she would be lost in the face of these millions of taels of silver, but she could figure it out in an instant, and for his own sake, she let him return so much money.

Although Jia Huan really didn't care about the money, nor did he care whether he returned it or not, since it was the mother of this body who asked for it, there was no way he could keep the money in his hands.

What Aunt Zhao said was also true. Lin Daiyu only had a little girl left and her whole family was gone. If he had been embezzling money, it would be really unjustifiable for him to have spent so much money.

But he couldn't go and hand it to Lin Daiyu in person. He didn't want Lin Daiyu to tell it out one day. Then he would be exposed, and this was not what he wanted.

"Mother, you are right. I cannot take Lin Daiyu's money. I have already taken the things away. I just need to block the Jia family's way. When I have the chance, I will definitely return the money to him."

"But you must not tell anyone about this matter. I will not tell anyone in my own name. I will find a reason to find Lin Daiyu and tell her that the money is still hers and she can use it at any time. I just don't want to see the Jia family spend all her money."

"No matter what he wants then, it will have nothing to do with us. As long as he doesn't expose us, we can continue to live in peace in this Rongguo Mansion."

"And you are wrong about one thing. Not only do we have things worth more than 100,000 silver dollars in the big warehouse, but we also have the old lady and Mrs. Wang's money. Once you have all that money, you don't have to worry about anything."

Aunt Zhao said unhappily when she heard what he said.

"I heard about the construction of the Grand View Garden. Mrs. Wang has no money at all. It's good enough to have a dowry worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. The old lady has at most tens of thousands of taels of silver, and she has to keep them for the future. How much money can you get from them? I don't expect to have anything in those warehouses. At most, there are some items, and these items cannot be taken out. You should find a place to put them. Take them out and sell them when you really have no other choice."

Although Aunt Zhao already knew where the warehouses of the old lady and Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion were, Aunt Zhao never thought that they had much money. After all, Mrs. Wang always said that she had no money, and the old lady was always crying poor. So in Aunt Zhao's view, no matter how much money Mrs. Wang and the old lady had, a few tens of thousands of taels would be their limit.

But Jia Huan shook his head and sighed, saying.

"Mother, it seems that you still don't understand the old lady and Madam Wang. Do you think that they have raised the price for so many years in vain? The old lady had been managing it herself before Madam Wang raised the price. Later, she handed it over to Madam Wang and it has been more than ten years now. They have raised the price by at least ten or twenty times. Do you think they have no money?"

"To tell you the truth, I got 800,000 taels of silver from the old lady, and the other items added up to at least 700,000 to 800,000 taels, so I got 1.5 million taels worth of things from the old lady."

If Aunt Zhao was only shocked and envious by the news that the neighbor had millions of taels of silver, then Aunt Zhao was completely confused after hearing that the old lady was so rich. However, Jia Huan did not give up and continued to attack him, but continued, "These are the old lady's things, but do you know how much Mrs. Wang has? She also has more than 50 taels, but his warehouse has more good things than the old lady, worth nearly a million, so he also has more than million taels of things in the warehouse."

"That is to say, even without the Lin family's money, the two of them can come up with three million taels of silver to build the Grand View Garden. In addition, Ningguo Mansion has agreed to contribute 100 taels, the two Wang families will also contribute taels, and several other families with in-laws have also agreed to contribute or taels. Together, it is at least more than million taels."

"That is to say, even without his help, we can complete this task."

Aunt Zhao's face was full of disbelief. She thought she had understood all the circumstances of the Rongguo Mansion, but she had not expected that in the Rongguo Mansion, the two mistresses could actually accumulate a huge sum of three million taels of silver. At this moment, she felt that her cognition had been somewhat overturned. Fortunately, her ability to accept was still good. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. When she came back to her senses, she could not help but slam the table and said.

"I really didn't expect that it wasn't just Madam Wang who was greedy for the Jia family's money, the old lady was also so cruel. The silver and supplies they have together are already three million taels, and they also have various manors and shops. Those things are worth at least a hundred or two hundred thousand taels."

"They are really cruel. They don't care about the life or death of Rongguo Mansion just to save some money for themselves."

"Your father has told me a lot of things before. Rongguo Mansion signed a contract with the court for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but he has never been able to pay it back, so he doesn't want to get promoted or get rich."

"If the debt owed by the Chinese government can really be repaid, your father will still have some motivation. Besides, with so much money, not only do they not want to pay it back, they are also reluctant to spend a single cent."

"I guess they are all thinking of spending all of Lin Daiyu's money and taking some of it for themselves. In this way, the glory of Rongguo Mansion will be achieved, the Grand View Garden will be built, and the two of them can also make some money. What a good plan."

"But they lost money, and the mistress of Rongguo Mansion has emptied Rongguo Mansion over the years. Rongguo Mansion has no future."

"Fortunately, you have taken all their silver. The rest of their houses, shops, and fields are useless no matter how much they have."

"Without this money, they now need to find a way to keep Rongguo Mansion running. They can only sell things in Rongguo Mansion. And if the old lady and Madam Wang want to maintain their current dignity, they also have to sell their own shops and estates."

"There is even a more important matter before them. Even if they don't know how much money Lin Daiyu brought, she has already said in front of everyone that Lin Daiyu brought a dowry of 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver. If all this dowry is gone, let's see how the Rongguo Mansion will explain it."
