Chapter 221: Boasting about Making Money
Meeting Qin's sharp gaze, Han Nian'an's face turned pale and he was extremely panicked.
What could she do? After all, she had no idea what would happen next.
And this mother and son, why do they put everything on her head? It’s not the money she owes.
Of course, she didn't dare say such words in front of Qin. After all, Zhou Yihong was blaming her. If she angered Qin at this time, there would be no one to protect her.
Qin looked at Han Nian'an's silence, and her anger grew stronger. "Why, are you mute now? Weren't you able to speak a lot at the wedding banquet at Prince Chu's Mansion before?"
Because of Han Nian'an's incident, the families who had previously been interested in the marriage all found excuses to postpone the marriage. If it weren't for the fact that Hong'er and Han Nian'an had indeed demonstrated their ability to predict the future, she would have taught Han Nian'an a lesson long ago.
But now it seems that even if her so-called predictive ability is real, it is probably exaggerated. And if she really has this ability, why would Honger be deceived like this?
Just now when Han Nian'an was questioned by Hong'er, he seemed particularly flustered. It seems that Han Nian'an's so-called predictive ability may not be without other hidden stories.
Qin Shi's suspicious gaze became more and more intense, and when it fell on Han Nian'an, it was like a sharp thorn, pricking her and making her panic.
She gritted her teeth and tried her best to control her nervousness.
Why is this old witch Qin looking at me like that? Is she suspicious of something?
This thought made Han Nian'an even more panicked, and the beatings he had received before and the suffering he had endured in the woodshed came to his mind again.
"Han Nian'an, I'm asking you a question!" Qin narrowed her eyes, and the patience in her tone seemed to have reached its limit.
If Han Nian'an was really lying to her...
Without waiting for Qin to finish thinking, Han Nian'an immediately said, "I, I have a way!"
As soon as these words came out, before Qin could react, Zhou Yihong, who had been keeping his head down like a quail, spoke again, "Do you really have a solution?"
"Yes, I have a way." Han Nian'an said with gritted teeth.
How could she have any solution? It was just that at that moment, she felt that if she didn't say that she had a solution, Qin might punish her the next moment.
"Then tell me what you can do?" Qin's eyes were filled with suspicion. "Do you know where Wang Lang is?"
"Yes, tell me quickly." Zhou Yihong also said immediately.
Feeling Qin's questioning and Zhou Yihong's urging gaze, Han Nian'an panicked. She forced herself to calm down quickly, "Although I don't know where the person is, I have a way to make money, and I will definitely be able to make up for the deficit of the Marquis' Mansion."
Now that she has already opened her mouth, she can only continue to tell lies. She naturally has no way to find someone, but making money should not be difficult, after all, Jiang Suining has made a lot of money.
"What ways can you use to make money?" Zhou Yihong looked at Han Nian'an suspiciously. If Han Nian'an really had a way to make money, then why didn't she tell him when he was worried about his gambling debts? Did she deliberately want to see him in a state of panic?
When this thought came to his mind, Zhou Yihong looked at Han Nian'an with an increasingly unfriendly gaze.
Han Nian'an noticed this and immediately explained, "My husband, it's not that I didn't tell you before, but making money requires timing. If I had told you casually before the time was right, it would have been a leak of the secret. Not only would I not be able to make money, I might even get into trouble."
Han Nian'an spoke so seriously that Zhou Yihong frowned and said nothing.
Qin looked at her and said, "So what you mean is that the time has come?"
"That's about right." Han Nian'an was a little vague, "I still need some time to observe."
After saying that, Han Nian'an quickly added, "But I'm sure it can make money!"
Qin looked at Han Nian'an coldly. After a long while, she laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll give you another chance to prove your ability. If you can really make a lot of money for the Marquis' Mansion, I can forgive you for this and even the previous things. But if you don't do it..."
Qin didn't finish her words, but just looked at Han Nian'an coldly, with the same gaze as the last time when she was waiting for the verification of the official ship.
Han Nian'an swallowed nervously and could only say, "Don't worry, mother."
Zhou Yihong and Han Nian'an have already withdrawn, but as for Wang Lang and the two people who deceived Zhou Yihong, they will naturally continue to look for them.
However, because she was worried about Zhou Yihong lending money at high interest, Qin could only instruct her servants to find someone secretly and not make a big deal out of the matter.
"Madam, do you really believe what Aunt Han said?" The nanny beside Qin asked after everyone else had left.
"Looking at Han Nian'an's expression just now, she is definitely lying about something, but she did say it right before. This time, just treat it as the final test for Han Nian'an."
"Ma'am, what do you mean?"
"If the person who deceived Hong'er is a repeat offender, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the money back. It's really difficult to make ends meet with only the money in the account. If Han Nian'an can really make money and solve the current urgent problem, I can still keep her. But if she can't, it means she is lying. So no matter how she knew about the official ship and the general's mansion, she can't be left with this disaster."
Qin took a deep breath and continued speaking.
"Also, this time, just like before, it must not be leaked."
"Don't worry, Madam. Everyone present here is tight-lipped. Besides, the death contract is in your hands, so they will definitely not say anything."
Qin nodded. She was not too worried about this. After all, those who could be by her side, including the accountant in the mansion, were reliable.
Now, she wanted to see whether Han Nian'an really had a way to make money as she said.
On the other hand, after Han Nian'an left Qin's yard, although he temporarily stabilized Qin's situation, he also dug a bigger hole for himself.
After all, she was still confident about the official ship and the cavalry general, but this money making...
Han Nian'an thought about it over and over again, but he really couldn't think of any way to make a lot of money in a short period of time. In the end, he could only think of Jiang Suining again.
Jiang Suining returned to the imperial city a few days later. During these days, Han Nian'an came to see Jiang Suining more than once. When he learned that the other party was not in the imperial city, he became very anxious.
Jiang Suining heard about this as soon as she came back. Before she could ask Han Nian'an about his intentions, she was informed that Han Nian'an had come again...
