Chapter 176 Hot Potato
The next day, due to the severity of Tian's injuries and a sudden heart attack, he died.
When the news reached the Marquis' Mansion, it was both heartbreaking for the relatives and joyful for the enemies.
Qiao Zirui and his two brothers cried their hearts out. In the Marquis' Mansion, without their mother's protection, one could imagine how difficult their life would be.
Especially since Qiao Zicong's only relative is no longer around, how can he continue to live in the Marquis' Mansion?
Qiao Zhenbang was a man who would not tolerate any injustice. How could he raise someone else's bastard? He ordered Qiao Hu to drive Qiao Zicong out of the mansion and not allow him to get close to it.
When Qiao Zicong was forced to leave the Marquis' Mansion, Qiao Yuyan took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to him with a distressed look.
A boy who is only ten years old is left alone and wandering around. What kind of tragic fate is waiting for him?
At this moment, someone suggested to Qiao Zicong that he go to the cell to look for Li Chun.
But Qiao Zicong hated Li Chun to the core, because it was Li Chun that caused his family to be destroyed. Even until his death, he would never admit to having any relationship with Li Chun.
After Qiao Zicong left the Marquis' Mansion, he disappeared and there was no news of him.
As everyone expected, Qiao Yuyan's engagement was broken off.
She was devastated and hated Qiao Zien so much that she even hated her biological father Qiao Zhenbang. She didn't want anyone in the Marquis' Mansion to have a good life, as she herself didn't want to have a good life.
Qiao Zirui was completely crazy. He was so crazy that anyone who approached him would be beaten. He always ran out of Qingsongyuan and hurt people.
There was no other way, so Qiao Zhenbang ordered his servants to lock him in the house, and Qiao Zirui completely lost his freedom.
Qiao Zien still went his own way and studied hard. What happened in the mansion was just a joke to him. He could just laugh it off. What did it have to do with him?
When Shuangxi learned that Li Chun was arrested and imprisoned, she felt like her whole world had collapsed.
She was in a daze all day, like a walking corpse, and was completely unable to concentrate on managing the affairs of the lingerie workshop.
Shuangxi has been pregnant for more than two months. This should have been a moment of joy, but fate played such a cruel trick on her.
She was delighted to share the good news with Li Chun, however, he made a big mistake and was thrown into prison.
Shuangxi couldn't understand why Li Chun didn't break off relations with that "old gangster". Isn't this self-destructive?
She, who once had high hopes for the future, is now in deep despair.
After a difficult struggle, Shuangxi finally decided to abort the fetus and look for another way out.
Wei Bufan led the officers to Su Kexin's brothel to ask for the land deed.
Su Kexin's face was full of bitterness and reluctance, but she finally handed over the deed to Tian's lingerie farm very reluctantly.
She secretly complained in her heart, thinking that she was really unlucky.
In fact, at the beginning, Su Kexin was secretly happy in her heart.
After all, Tian was arrested at that time, so she naturally thought that the manor would belong to her completely from then on.
However, what she never expected was that the Dali Temple actually ordered her to return the land deed!
At this moment, she could be said to be "stealing a chicken but losing the rice". Not only did she fail to get the manor, but she also lost five thousand taels of silver, as well as the cloth and goods on the manor.
Although she was full of grievances and resentment, Su Kexin also understood that in the current situation, she had no choice but to swallow her anger silently.
Moreover, she didn't even dare to ask Liang Zhilan for help in dealing with the matter.
The reason was simple, because she knew very well that the two of them had been secretly running a business that could not be made public.
If you accidentally attract the attention of the government, the consequences will be unimaginable!
By then, it may not be as simple as losing a farm, maybe even your life and property will be threatened!
Thinking of this, Su Kexin couldn't help but shudder, and became more determined not to make this matter public.
The Dali Temple was very quick in handling matters and all the properties and shops confiscated from the Tian family were handed over to the Marquis' Mansion.
Among them, the dowry belonging to Jiang was handed over to Qiao Zien. Qiao Zien knew that it was because of the friendship between him and Zhen Yu that the case was handled quickly and the property was handed over smoothly.
Qiao Zien took the deed to the manor to Huicui Building and handed it to Chen Ruotong.
Chen Ruotong was confused, "Zi En, what do you mean?"
"I gave you this manor. Don't you like to buy houses and land? You bought real estate in the capital, but you haven't bought a manor yet!
Besides, there is a lingerie workshop in this village, you can continue to run it, but I don’t know how to do business!"
"I already have a lingerie workshop. That's enough. I don't want it. It's too much trouble!"
"This doesn't seem like you who is greedy for money! Your eyes should be shining green, right?"
"It's exhausting to do so many business transactions. You won't understand even if I tell you!"
"Guchuan, if the workshop is closed, those embroiderers will lose a job that supports their families..."
"Okay, okay, if you say so, I really have to continue! I was just trying to refuse, but you took it seriously. You don't want a free farm? That's not my style! Hahaha..."
Chen Ruotong grabbed the deed with a "whoosh", put it in her sleeve and threw it into the space.
I got a big farm, a workshop and embroiderers for free. How could I not be happy?
But who should be sent to manage the workshop? The original owner of this workshop is Liang Zhilan!
Isn't this a hot potato?
"Zi'en, this is Liang Zhilan's money-making business. If I accept it, she will kill me!" Chen Ruotong trembled.
"Killing you is only a matter of time. She's just looking for the right opportunity! She's been sending people to follow you. Isn't she just looking for an opportunity?"
"I know, so I'm scared too. My life is at stake!
Money is something outside of one's body, and the key is that I am not short of money.
So I won't go to that underwear workshop. I have to send a capable assistant. How about Zhang Yishun?"
"Yes, he is your right-hand man. However, I think hiding like this is not a good idea. It's better to lure the snake out of its hole!"
"That being said, if you want me to be the bait... that's fine! Then you have to go with me!"
Qiao Zien was happy to be with Chen Ruotong. They were together every day and he never got bored.
When Liang Zhilan learned that the underwear pile was returned to the Marquis' Mansion after being handed over, she was immediately filled with anger!
You know, she was the one who put people to run this lingerie workshop, which brought her huge profits every month. But now it was taken away so easily. How could she not be filled with anger!
What made her even more angry was that she later learned that Qiao Zien had actually given Zhuangzi directly to Chen Ruotong! She was so angry that her teeth itched, and her eyes flashed with resentment.
She immediately summoned Zhu Wu and gave him an order: "Zhu Wu, from now on, you must keep a close eye on Chen Guchuan!
He will definitely go to the underwear farm outside the city. Once you find his whereabouts, you must take action halfway and never let him have any chance to escape!
Remember, it must be done cleanly and neatly, leaving no trace of trouble!
Humph, maybe we still need to be cautious in the capital, but as long as we leave the city, we will make him disappear completely and leave no place for burial!"
Zhu Wu respectfully accepted the order and left. He knew his master's mood at the moment and the importance and urgency of this mission. Thus, a thrilling pursuit operation began...
