Given the circumstances of the Rong Mansion, it would be far from easy to change the fate of everyone in the Red Mansion without sufficient incentives.

Seeing the five extra points of luck on the virtual panel, Jia Huan was in a very good mood!

"Second sister-in-law is back!"

As he was leaving, he ran into Wang Xifeng, who had a subtle expression. Jia Huan greeted her with a smile.

"Brother Huan has something to attend to. Would you like to have a meal before you leave?"

Wang Xifeng smiled radiantly and invited, "The main kitchen just happened to have made some delicious dishes today!"

"Forget it, my aunt is probably already getting impatient!"

Jia Huan smiled and politely declined, then quickly left.

Children have very keen senses!

Not to mention, since he started practicing the breathing technique, Jia Huan's ability to sense the outside world has gradually improved.

How could they not notice that Wang Xifeng had already quietly returned to eavesdrop?

Clearly, Wang Xifeng had overheard some of the things he and Jia Lian had said earlier.

fair enough!

Wang Xifeng's execution ability and ruthlessness are far superior to Jia Lian's!

The key point is that she really likes money!

It is unknown whether Wang Xifeng used her own dowry to help cover the shortfall in the Rong Mansion's coffers at this time.

If it were activated, she would never be able to let go of Jia Lianxin's new source of wealth.

Jia Huan said some things quite bluntly, and they were meant for Wang Xifeng to hear.

In fact, if they were to confront the Lai family, Jia Lian could hide outside, but Wang Xifeng would have nowhere to hide.

In other words, she was the main force behind the fight against the Lai family!

It's important to be mentally prepared in advance!

The Lai family is no joke; if they really resort to underhanded tricks, Wang Xifeng might not be able to handle them.

As soon as Jia Huan disappeared from sight, Wang Xifeng quickened her pace and went into the house.

"Well, Master Lian, you've been keeping it a secret from me that you have a huge source of wealth outside!"

Wang Xifeng was not one to swallow her anger. As soon as she entered, she launched into a tirade: "Tell me, what exactly happened? Are we going to fight the Lai family?"

"I didn't want Second Madam to be eavesdropping too!"

Jia Lian immediately realized what was happening, feeling both annoyed and amused. He rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't Second Madam hear everything? What else is there to say?"

He felt somewhat annoyed, knowing that he would have to hand over most of the profits he received from the Four Seas Casino in the future.

Otherwise, how could Wang Xifeng possibly agree?

"I only heard the latter part, Huan-ge'er and you discussing how to deal with the Lai family!"

Wang Xifeng said irritably, "I didn't expect that young man to be so cunning!"

"Who says it's not?"

Speaking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help but complain, "If it weren't for this kid causing trouble, I wouldn't be stuck in this mess. Now, there's no way I can back down!"

"Oh, Second Master, why don't you tell me the details of what happened?"

Wang Xifeng sat down and chuckled, "Perhaps I can be of some help!"

"There's nothing wrong with talking about it..."

At this time, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's relationship was still quite good, and had not yet reached the point of irreconcilable conflict.

Jia Lian was indeed somewhat flustered at this moment, and Wang Xifeng was always very opinionated and had a strong hand.

There are some things he can't understand on his own, so it's good to have Wang Xifeng help analyze them.

Putting everything else aside, he always felt that Jia Huan had acted too recklessly in this matter, and whether there was some deliberate manipulation involved. His mind was in such a mess that he couldn't tell at all.

After listening to Jia Lian's detailed explanation, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed with delight, "So, Second Master can receive several thousand taels of silver as dividends every year?"

Clearly, she and Jia Lian have different perspectives on this matter.

As long as there's profit involved, why worry about whether Jia Huan did it on purpose?

Wang Xifeng was far more audacious than Jia Lian.

What Jia Lian was most worried about was the serious consequences this matter might cause.

Inside the mansion, he was truly wary of the Lai family.

In particular, after the conflict broke out, the old lady might even side with the Lai family.

Jia Lian had already thought of what the old lady would say: "Our Rong Mansion is a large and wealthy family. There is no need to compete for interests with servants. It would be shameful if word got out!"

The problem is, the old lady can fully enjoy the resources of the Rong family, but Lian Er can't.

Even getting a few dozen taels of silver is extremely difficult; one has to go to great lengths to obtain it. The old lady certainly doesn't know the hardships involved.

Feeling both frustrated and angry, Jia Lian simply didn't have the courage to overturn the table.

The thought of possibly provoking the old lady's displeasure filled me with fear and unease.

"What do you mean, 'what's the matter'?"

Wang Xifeng said dismissively, "Didn't Huan-ge'er already tell you? The Lai family is only arrogant and domineering within the mansion; they're nothing outside!"

"I'll help Second Master bear the pressure from the manor, but I want the lion's share of the gambling den's profits!"

She stated her conditions, not afraid that Jia Lian would refuse.

In fact, Wang Xifeng wanted to monopolize all the gambling den's profits, but she knew that was unrealistic and could only compromise and take the lion's share.

From now on, we need to send someone to keep a close eye on Jia Lian and prevent him from acting recklessly outside.

As for the silver that Jia Huan and Jia Qiang took, she couldn't say much at the moment. She couldn't just abandon them so quickly, but there was still a long time ahead.

"Then it's decided!"

After thinking it over, Jia Lian nodded and said, "I imagine Second Madam is under a lot of pressure!"

"What's there to be afraid of if there's money to be made?"

Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she chuckled, "Besides, it's true that the Lai family is powerful in the mansion, but I'm not one to be trifled with!"

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "It's good that Second Madam has confidence!"

"This afternoon really gave me a hard time. That kid Huan is really reckless. He led a group of people to block the entrance of the gambling den without any regard for the consequences. I was terrified!"

"I think it's best if Huan-ge does it this way!"

Wang Xifeng said dismissively, "If Huan-ge'er finds out any information, he won't be able to make a move!"

Jia Lian thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Changing the subject, she asked curiously, "Second Madam, that scoundrel Lai Er dares to use the Ning family's name to become one of the owners of the Sihai Gambling House, getting a share of the profits every year for nothing!"

"What about Lai Da?"

At this point, Jia Lian's expression turned extremely gloomy, and he said coldly, "This guy's power in the Rong Mansion is much stronger than Lai Er's. Has he also invested in quite a few businesses outside?"

Wang Xifeng was taken aback, but her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "That's really possible!"

As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and he said coldly, "This fellow is using our manor's name to make his own money. Anyway, I'm not willing to agree to it. Second Master, where are you?"

"Of course I'm unhappy too!"

Jia Lian said irritably, "But finding something to hold against Lai Da isn't so easy!"

"We can't keep sending Huan-ge'er to block the door and find out what's going on every time, can we?"

"There's only one gambling den like this on the entire Ningrong Street!"

Wang Xifeng disagreed, saying leisurely, "If we investigate further, we'll surely find some clues. We won't hold back then!"

"No, I won't agree!"

Aunt Zhao loudly objected to Jia Huan's residence, her face full of displeasure.

"Your uncle is doing a good job in the household, why should he be freed from slavery?"

Aunt Zhao glared angrily and scolded, "You unlucky brat, do you know that your uncle's future life will be completely insecure!"

"Besides, the Zhao family is a long-established family of servants in the Rong Mansion. For three generations, they have been servants of the Rong Mansion. You are just a seed without any good fortune. Do you know how many people would envy you?"

"You heartless wretch! You actually encouraged your uncle to leave the family register! You're delusional! I will absolutely not agree to that!"

Aunt Zhao was really angry; her face was grim, and her tone was quite stern.

Regardless of the fact that Jia Huan was only six years old, all sorts of nasty things came out of his mouth without any restraint.
