“Then…”
“Stop talking about this. Get out! Get out!”
Without giving her second son a chance to speak, Aunt Wang kept the money on the table and chased everyone out.
She would never tell anyone where she hid her money. Even her husband was no exception, for he liked to drink and blurted out anything when he got drunk.
She was not wary of other people, but they had an outsider living with them. What if her eldest daughter-in-law learnt where she had hidden the silver and stole it?
She had to be careful.
“I have to hide the money first. We’ll bring An Jiuyue’s son over tomorrow morning. The money will only belong to us after Ministry Councilor He takes him away.”
“Mother, hide it well. Don’t lose it,” An Da and An Er reminded her in unison.
The money was theirs. They were looking forward to buying food and having a good meal at home tomorrow.
They must not lose the money!

After hiding the money, Aunt Wang finally came out of her room and instructed her daughter-in-law to start cooking.
She was exhausted today. Not only did she get beaten up for nothing, but she also took a long trip to town and bargained with the butler in Ministry Councilor He’s residence.
Even if it was now nighttime, she had to eat something good. Otherwise, she would not have the energy to do things tomorrow.
…
In the treehouse…
Yan Nuo took out a small cloth bundle and handed it to his master.
“Master, these are the silver that the woman received. There are a total of 50 taels.”

I have never seen such an arrogant person! She sold other people’s children and spoke as if Madam would benefit greatly. Who gave her the cheek to do that?
No one in that family is good. I won’t pity them even if they die.
Qian Jiyun glanced at the small cloth bundle and sneered. “That’s quite a lot.”
Selling the child my wife raised? In front of me? I’ve broadened my horizons.
“Master, don’t you find it strange?” Yan Nuo asked when he saw that his master was not surprised.
The streets were filled with people pushing their children to others, but Ministry Councilor He wanted to spend 50 taels of silver to buy An Jiuyue’s child.
He was certain something was amiss.

“What’s so strange about that? We’ll find out why tomorrow,” Qian Jiyun said.
Yan Nuo nodded. “That’s true.”
Ministry Councilor He will probably explode if he finds out that he was tricked by Aunt Wang’s family tomorrow, right?

Of course, Aunt Wang’s family will die if they don’t get a hold of Madam’s child. Both parties are digging graves for each other. Let’s see who will be more miserable!
He reckoned it would be Aunt Wang’s family. After all, the rich and the poor were different.
“Shall I investigate Ministry Councilor He’s background first?” he suggested.
“Go on.” Qian Jiyun nodded.
He was just a ministry councilor in An Yue Town. Besides having some money, he probably did not have that much power.
However, investigating him would not hurt. Qian Jiyun did not want any future surprises.
“I’ll take my leave.” Yan Nuo turned around and left.
“Why are you leaving so late at night?”
An Jiuyue came out of another room and instantly noticed the small cloth bundle on the table.
“Then…”
