Chapter 77 Having money means having confidence.

After hearing what Ning Guanzhou said, Hu Lan became more certain that he had a close relationship with Chen Qingyin.

Otherwise, how could he be protected like this?

But the Prime Minister's status was too great, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

He just said sarcastically, "How dare I get angry in front of you, sir? I was just curious as to why my sister-in-law left her parents' home and didn't go home. Now I finally understand, she was enjoying herself here with you, sir!"

Hu Mianmian clenched her fists angrily.

She even dared to hint at something, it seems her mouth isn't painful enough!

Chen Qingyin said calmly, "Your house doesn't have room for Mianmian and me to live in. Do you really want me to live with my child in a house that was converted from a toilet?"

Hu Lan glared at him: "Why, you still despise me? My brother is not dead yet, and you are so disrespectful. It's so disappointing."

"Anyway, you must come back with me this time. My mother is seriously ill, and as her daughter-in-law, you must go back to serve her. If you refuse, I will spread the news everywhere."

Humph, don't think that she doesn't dare to say it. Just think about how people outside will poke Chen Qingyin in the spine.

Ning Guanzhou's face turned cold and he was about to get angry, but was held back by Chen Qingyin.

The people living around here are all prominent people. If Hu Lan really makes a fuss, it will be bad for Ning Guanzhou.

She raised her head slightly: "I will go back to the Hu family with you."

Hu Lan was secretly delighted, thinking that she had found Chen Qingyin's weak spot and she was indeed afraid.

"If you want to come back, do it quickly. Don't make me urge you." Hu Lan said, rolling her eyes.

Chen Qingyin didn't intend to argue with her here, as Hu Lan would suffer in the future.

She turned around and said goodbye to Ning Guanzhou.

Ning Guanzhou frowned and looked at her: "With me here, you don't have to be so patient with her."

Chen Qingyin pursed her red lips and said, "She and I are still a family now. No matter what happens, if it gets out, it won't look good on you or me. Besides, I'm afraid it will affect Mianmian."

Ning Guanzhou lowered his head and glanced at the little guy, and his cold expression softened a little.

He looked at Hu Lan and said, "Qingyin is an old friend of mine. If she wants to go back to her husband's family, I will naturally not stop her. But I heard that after the incident at the Hu family, your family has been living in a small house, and there is not even enough room for you. Is this true?"

Hu Lan crossed her arms: "Yes, so what?"

Anyway, it's not like she's going to live in the house that was converted from a toilet.

Ning Guanzhou raised his hand to signal, and Feng Wu immediately handed over three silver bills.

He held it between his long fingers and handed it over.

"Here is three thousand taels."

Hu Lan and Chen Qingyin were both stunned. When Hu Lan saw the banknote, his eyes lit up.

"Oh, Lord Ning is so kind, and he gave me money for no reason?" Hu Lan smiled and reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, Ning Guanzhou withdrew his hand, leaving her empty-handed.

Seeing Hu Lan's embarrassed expression, Ning Guanzhou said, "This is not for you. I'm using it to buy a room in your house."

Hu Lan was puzzled: "What? You want to buy me a room alone?"

"Yes," Ning Guanzhou nodded, "Give it to Qingyin. I don't care who you send to live in the toilet room, but it must not be Qingyin. These three thousand taels are enough to buy your entire house."

Hu Lan was almost laughing out loud.

There is such a good deal?

Chen Qingyin was a little anxious. She looked at Ning Guanzhou and said, "You don't have to do this for me..."

Before she could finish her words, Ning Guanzhou interrupted her.

"I'm not doing this for you, but for Mianmian. I can't let her live in that kind of environment."

Chen Qingyin was speechless.

Her daughter is her weak spot.

She looked down and saw the little guy blinking his round black eyes. He was so young and naive, yet he had to suffer with her in her husband's family.

Hu Lan thought she had something on Ning Guanzhou, so she crossed her arms and clicked her tongue twice.

"Oh, Lord Ning is so generous. I have to think carefully about whether this deal is worth it."

"After all, Lord Ning, you know that there are not many rooms in my house. I can't force my parents to live in a toilet, right?"

Ning Guanzhou said coldly, "I won't add any more money. You take the three thousand taels and do what I ask you to do. I might be able to say a few good words in the court and get your brother released early."

"But if you don't want to take the money and still dare to ask for a high price from me, then I promise that from now on not only will Hu Yunshen be unable to stay in the capital, but you and the person you rely on behind the scenes will also be in trouble."

As he spoke, his thin eyes revealed a rare fierce light: "If you don't believe me, try it."

Hu Lan's heart skipped a beat and she felt a chill down her spine.

The look in this man's eyes is really scary.

"You, why are you so fierce? I didn't say I don't agree." She was a little flustered.

Three thousand taels is three thousand taels.

Originally, the whole family sold everything they could in order to make up for the deficit caused by her brother's corruption.

Now the whole family wears coarse cloth and eats bran and vegetables.

These three thousand taels come at the right time.

Hu Lan accepted it happily.

Ning Guanzhou said coldly: "Go out and wait, I will ask Feng Wu to take you back later."

Hu Lan cried out twice: "Master Ning, are you afraid that I won't do as you say? Sister-in-law, you are so lucky to have such a friend."

She deliberately emphasized the word "friend" and then turned around and swayed her waist: "Sister-in-law, please hurry up, I won't wait too long."

After Hu Lan left, Chen Qingyin frowned and said, "Even if you have to pay, why would you give so much?"

Ning Guanzhou smiled, his face like a banished immortal, exceptionally cool and elegant.

"If I give you too little, I'm afraid you won't have the confidence. If I give you too much, you can make a fuss. I can afford it."

He has worked hard until today just to be able to support Chen Qingyin at the critical moment.

Chen Qingyin was deeply moved.

They were about to leave. Ning Guanzhou bent down, looked at Hu Mianmian seriously, and touched the little guy's head.

"Mianmian, you must listen to your mother when you go back. Uncle Ning will come to see you occasionally."

Hu Mianmian stretched out her little hand: "Really? Let's make a pinky promise. Uncle Shuai, you have to come often. I will miss you."

Ning Guanzhou's smile deepened.

The little guy is so sweet.

He stretched out his slender fingers: "Pink, liars are puppies."

Hu Mianmian was amused.

Chen Qingyin picked up the little ones, Ning Guanzhou sent them to the door, and arranged for Feng Wu to escort Chen Qingyin and the others back to the Hu family.

Only after they walked away did Ning Guanzhou's expression turn completely cold.

He turned back to the courtyard and called his trusted secret guards.

"As for Hu Lan, I don't like her. There's no point in keeping her. I'll find a chance to make her die in an ugly way."

"Yes." The secret guard bowed and left quickly.

Ning Guanzhou leaned on the railing and looked at the deserted courtyard.

When Hu Mianmian is not around, there is no more chattering in the house. I'm really not used to it.

He has a face like a banished immortal, handsome and extraordinary.

But he never had a kind heart like a god, he only had tyrannical means.

The Hu family is such an eyesore and should have disappeared from the capital long ago.

*

After Chen Qingyin returned to the Hu family.

Under Feng Wu's supervision, Hu Lan took Chen Qingyin to Liang Yunyan's yard.

At that time, Liang Yunyan was helping Mrs. Hu wash clothes.

The water was extremely cold in winter and her hands were covered with frostbite.

When Hu Lan explained her purpose, Liang Yunyan's eyes widened.

"What? You want me to move to the thatched cottage to make room for the first lady?"
