Chapter 318 Qin Huai Wants Money
Qin Huai realized that his power was too small; at least his men were not yet able to do anything in Wanning City without leaving a trace.

For example, they could rescue the person who bullied Ayu, or infiltrate the Duke of Anguo's mansion to find out the relationship between their grain and those two people.

Previously, the 10 taels of silver that he had extorted from his mother were all given to Chijia to train new people. This group of people would become confidants who would only be loyal to Qin Huai.

However, this process may take several years before we see results.

There's no need to rush this now.

The next day, the lady arrived at the Duke of Yong's mansion again in the morning light. She first visited the Duke of Yong, who still felt embarrassed.

Because the Duchess was present, the Duke of Yong did not mention the tiger tally. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

When she learned that Qin Huai was looking for her, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, but she still went to Qin Huai's place in the end.

She understands this child less and less.

But in any case, the fact that people are still alive is the greatest comfort.

Many of the negative plans people once had for living can now be changed to more gentle ones.

Thinking this, the lady went to see Qin Huai. When she learned that Qin Huai wanted her to give him a thousand taels of gold, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Have you used up all the money I gave you before?" She even suspected that Qin Huai might be involved in some gambling activities outside.

How could 10 taels of silver be spent so quickly?

"I've used it all up." Qin Huai's expression was calm, and his tone was uneventful, making him seem nothing like a child. "A thousand taels of gold to buy the tiger tally."

When the lady heard the words "tiger tally," she was immediately startled.

"How did you know?" The lady concealed the astonishment in her eyes and said, "Now you'll say anything to swindle money, aren't you afraid of losing your head!"

Is a tiger tally something that can be given away so easily?
Qin Huai: "Go ask your grandfather."

The lady did not give the money directly, but first went to meet with the Duke of Yongguo alone.

Upon learning that the item was indeed given by Qin Huai, the lady's doubts only deepened. She knew that Qin Huai had almost completely subdued the Chi-surname guards, and she was quite pleased that they possessed such courage at such a young age.

But Qin Huai must not find out, lest the child's mind be corrupted.

"He has been staying in the Duke of Yong's mansion and has not gone out. His trusted confidants have not sent anyone out. However, he did send the grapes to Wangbei County earlier." The Duke of Yong said to his wife, "If I'm not mistaken, they should have come from there."

However, the Duke of Yong had never considered that it came from that small village.

If a village has the descendants of a great general, it will never end up in such a bad situation.

But the lady's heart stirred upon hearing this.

It's possible that he really did come from the village, but how exactly did he get there, how did he obtain it, and why did he think of handing it over to Qin Huai?

It even costs a thousand taels of gold.

Ordinary people have never even seen gold, and some have only ever heard of it in their entire lives, let alone asked for a thousand taels of silver.

Duke Yongguo continued talking about other things, including the current whereabouts of the Tiger Tally.

The lady said, “I already know about this, Father. There’s no need to tell anyone else. As for the things you took, you can leave them for Huai’er later.” He always needs something to protect himself.

Duke Yong smiled and said, "That's what I think too."

"Prepare the things the child wants in a few days," the lady said before leaving the Duke of Yong's residence.

On the way, the lady had a thousand thoughts on her mind.

Thinking back on everything my child had done this year, I made up my mind to visit Hujia Village after spring.

I'll also take this opportunity to meet my future daughter-in-law.
