Qin Yining didn't continue asking, giving Guan Dahu some time to think. He picked up his teacup and fiddled with the lid as he casually sized up the others.
However, when he raised his eyes, he met Liu Ban's gaze. Liu Ban didn't seem as open as before. He quickly looked away, then seemed to realize that his actions were a little inappropriate. He looked at Qin Yining with a serious expression and smiled.
Qin Yining calmly returned a smile, but his heart was already filled with suspicion.
Guan Dahu's thoughts ran deep, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking from his facial expression. Liu Ban and the others were straightforward people who weren't good at hiding their thoughts.
From the looks of it, it was obvious that they were hiding something from her!
Qin Yining lowered his gaze and put down his teacup, just like he always did.
When Liu Ban and the others saw that the other party was no longer observing them, they all secretly sighed in relief.
"Boss Qiu's idea is reasonable, but that Zhong Yibo and Prince Zhongshun aren't easy to deal with. Now that they're in charge, we have to be more careful."
"You're right." Qin Yining nodded with a smile.
Guan Dahu continued, "However, this is indeed a good idea. Let Zhong Yibo bring the item out, and we can think of a way to steal it on the way. This will save us a lot of trouble."
"That's right. This method can save us a lot of trouble. However, it's just an idea that I came up with on the spot. As for how we're going to implement it, it's not entirely up to me. We still have to discuss it before making a decision. Although I have some luck in business, I'm still not as experienced as Hall Master Qiao. I still have to listen to your opinion on this matter. "
Qin Yining's words naturally raised Guan Dahu up high, and he felt extremely satisfied listening to them.
"Boss Qiu is a heroine, and your idea is also excellent. However, this matter involves a large amount of treasure, so we have to be careful. "
Qin Yining nodded repeatedly, expressing his understanding.
The two chatted for a while more before Qin Yining stood up and bid farewell. Guan Dahu walked him out of the main hall.
The rain pitter-pattered down, creating a small puddle on the stone tiles of the courtyard. Qin Yining had no choice but to lead the maidservant out of the courtyard through the corridor.
When they arrived at the gate, Pang Xiao hurriedly came out from the gatehouse and said goodbye to the gatekeeper as if they were brothers. "Let's have a drink together another day!"
"Yes!" The doorman nodded repeatedly.
Pang Xiao bowed respectfully. "Boss, shall we go back?"
Qin Yining was addicted to Pang Xiao's disguise. He found it funny that he had made a friend in such a short time. He nodded lightly to show that he agreed.
When they got into the carriage, Pang Xiao drove the carriage out of the corner of the street. Qin Yining suddenly lifted the curtain and told Pang Xiao.
"I didn't manage to reach an agreement today. Those people's expressions are strange. Arrange for a few of your brothers to go to their house and check it out. I suspect that they are doing something behind my back."
When Pang Xiao heard this, he immediately said seriously, "Don't worry."
Pang Xiao lowered the curtain and carefully shielded Qin Yining from the rain. Then, he whistled behind him.
Not long after, two Jinghu Wei, who had outstanding lightness skills and were good at hiding their tracks, stealthily snuck into the house. They found a corner and carefully set up an ambush.

In the Lu Estate, Bian Ruohan nervously gripped her handkerchief and stood next to the dressing table with her head lowered.
Yesterday, when Lu Heng returned to the estate, he happened to see a chaotic scene in the estate. After carefully asking about it, he went straight to the yamen without even seeing her face.
When he returned early this morning, Bian Ruohan carefully went forward to help Lu Heng change his clothes. However, Lu Heng didn't need her. He changed into casual clothes and sat on the heated kang bed by the window to drink tea, leaving her to dry.
Bian Ruohan was angry and wronged. She originally had good intentions, but who would have thought that things would turn out like this? She didn't even have any money left, but she couldn't complain. Even if she lost her teeth, she had to swallow it.
Tears welled up in her eyes. After holding it in for an entire night, she really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Lu Heng put down his teacup and tapped his finger on the heated kang table, making a very clear sound.
"Come and sit." His voice was neither warm nor cold. It could be said to be gentle.
Bian Ruohan shivered and broke free from her resentment. She lowered her head and walked gracefully to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng smiled. "Sit down. Tell me what's going on. Tell me the cause and effect so that I can see how we should deal with this matter. "
Although Lu Heng was smiling, in Bian Ruohan's eyes, Lu Heng's expression was very cold. It was as if he was dealing with official business and not facing his new wife.
Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Bian Ruohan sobbed and said, "I couldn't stop that group of rioters no matter what I did. They entered the residence and stole our family's things. No matter how I scolded them or ordered people to stop them, it was useless. However, that Qin Clan girl came. Not only did she let those rioters go, she even said that she would pay for our family's losses. However, she only said that in front of others and moved her mouth. After they left, I asked her for compensation, but she said that I should first return her family's things and calculate it one by one. Uncle, don't you think that she bullied us? "
Bian Ruohan told Lu Heng the most grievous part of her story. However, when Lu Heng heard this, he experienced a different feeling.
Faced with such a stupid and restless Bian Ruohan, Qin Yining's intelligence and resourcefulness made him even more fascinated. It was as if her every frown and smile was right in front of him.
With Madam Qin Yining as a comparison, Lu Heng's heart was even more moved by Qin Yining, who he couldn't get.
However, the person in front of him was the first wife that Your Majesty had arranged for him. He had to consider this and couldn't ignore Bian Ruohan's feelings.
"Alright, I thought it was something serious. Turns out it was just a quarrel between women."
She was being bullied, but Lu Heng only said that she and the Qin Clan were quarreling!
Bian Ruohan felt a wave of pain in her heart, as if she had been pricked by needles. Tears flowed down her cheeks again. "Uncle, if you say so, what should I do? She was clearly the one who bullied me. If I told you, you should at least help me out. However, you only speak for an outsider. "
Lu Heng saw that Bian Ruohan didn't see the big picture and only knew how to beg others for the sake of her own feelings. It was as if she was a child who hadn't grown up yet. Lu Heng was already impatient.
"Didn't you order people to rob the prince's estate in the beginning?"
Bian Ruohan choked when she heard this. She lowered her head and said, "I, I didn't. I only ordered people to give a small punishment as a warning. I didn't order them to beat people or rob people of their belongings."
