In Dongdi, almost everyone engages in business. Each person is busy trading, yet the state of people’s lives does not seem to have changed compared to decades ago.

So where did all their money go?

The daily revenue recorded in Dongdi amounts to a staggering number, yet these Silver Taels have mysteriously vanished?

Surely, it must have a destination.

Where exactly has this massive sum gone?

And in secret, who exactly is controlling Dongdi? With the aim of making Dongdi accumulate wealth, what are they trying to do? Where is the money being spent?

There are far too many incomprehensible aspects.

Zhi Chen pondered deeply over this.

"It seems we previously oversimplified this place."

Everyone was similarly naïve, failing to realize the major secrets buried within Dongdi. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The brothers looked at Yixuan. Yixuan had made his fortune in Dongdi; for instance, his Chuixue Manor is located in Dongdi. Among the six brothers, he knew Dongdi the best and had lived there the longest.

They hoped to get an answer or some clues from Yixuan.

However...

"Don’t forget that I’m an outsider too."

Yixuan chuckled helplessly, "In name, I’m Grandma Qin’s adopted son, but within the Qin family, apart from Grandma Qin and her direct descendants, no one has ever trusted or accepted me. So, as an outsider, I’m also rejected."

According to Yixuan, he might count as a Qin family member now, even holding the external identity of the Young Master ’Qin Xuan,’ but despite operating in Dongdi for so long, he is mainly close to Grandma Qin.

In this regard, he feels the need to ’avoid suspicion.’

He never intended to covet the Qin family’s wealth, and his closeness to Grandma Qin purely stems from the familial bond they developed.

He didn’t want this sentiment sullied by other factors; previously, he avoided inquiring into the Qin family’s affairs to prevent anyone from thinking he harbored ambitions towards the Qin family.

Perhaps it’s because he had too little from a young age, especially familial love and concern from elders. This has always been a deficiency in the brothers’ hearts, thus, it is especially treasured upon receiving it.

Yixuan’s response was surprising to the eldest brother; even Shujun and Shu Yu were quite startled.

These wily individuals with complex thoughts remained silently puzzled, while the straightforward Yue Ning chose to go against the tide, candidly asking, "So Xiaoliu, what have you been doing in Dongdi these years?"

Yue Ning asked bluntly. In his view, within the family, he might be the most straightforward, as the others, including the fourth brother, had even earned the title of Beast King, which is quite dramatic.

And Yixuan, Xiaoliu Yixuan, had been living in Dongdi for so long, but his understanding of Dongdi was surprisingly limited, not even matching up to Third Brother, who gained plenty of information just by touring externally for a while.

So what exactly has Yixuan been doing in Dongdi these years? Only established a Chuixue Manor?

Chuixue Manor is famous for its brewed wines, renowned throughout the world, but how should one put it?

Even Yue Ning, with his not-so-bright straightforwardness, felt that the Chuixue Manor and the wine brewing business seemed like Yixuan inadvertently creating a success while just playing around.

His actual ’business,’ or perhaps one should say, during these years in Dongdi, he should not have been idle, but...
