"The old lady is very envious of the third lady. Once Jinzhiyuyefang suffers a loss, the in-laws can take it back and manage it properly. After all, the old lady is a boudoir woman. Yuelai Building was originally the dowry of the old lady. Now it is not managed well, so it has to be sold. It’s such a pity.”

“If the management is not good, we should stop the losses in time to avoid even greater losses in the future.”

Mother Li hurriedly answered: "Yes, that's why the old lady resold it to Xiangming Pavilion. I heard that the third lady knew the shopkeeper Wen of Xiangming Pavilion, so shopkeeper Wen asked someone to give the money to the third lady and pass it on to the old lady. The old slave came here specially to help the old lady get back the eighteen thousand taels of silver."

Transfer?

Mother Li will find steps for the old lady.

Hua Qingmu was stunned: "So that's how it is. I thought the old lady knew that all Qingmu's money was invested in the daily expenses of Xiao Mansion. The old lady understood that it was not easy for me, so she ordered shopkeeper Wen to send it over. I happened to get it I went to make up for the foreign debt I owed some time ago."

His face was filled with annoyance.

Mother Li's eyelids jumped when she heard this. So, those eighteen thousand taels of silver were wasted?

After all, the third lady's words made it difficult for her to say anything more, so she had to say goodbye and go back, telling Mrs. Xiao exactly what she said.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but became dizzy. She stumbled to a chair nearby and sat down. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Did she really say that?"

Mother Li nodded: "Old slave, she doesn't look like she's faking it. I'm afraid she really thinks it's the old lady you ordered someone to send over to solve the difficulties in the house."

Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she twisted the beads. The strength in her hands was so strong that she wanted to crush the beads into pieces.

This Hua Shi, is she really indifferent or is she deliberately going against her?

That’s eighteen thousand liang of silver!

The restaurant was neither losing money nor making any money, so she thought of simply taking the shop back, so that she could feel more at ease with the money in her hands.

Seeing her dejected look, Mother Li had no choice but to comfort her: "Old madam, I'm afraid the money won't come, so we have to get it back from somewhere else."

How could she not want to! But today's Hua family is like a hedgehog with nowhere to bite.

Her heart ached when she thought of the banknotes she had to supplement some time ago and the eighteen thousand taels of silver now in Hua Qingmu's hands.

Those should all be hers!

No, she had to find a way to get the money back!

-

Following the reminder from the handsome man, Shen Ting waited outside the door of Xiao's mansion early in the morning.

About midnight, I saw Su Huan coming out of Xiao's mansion.

But following him at the same time was Xiao Yuankai.

Shen Ting was anxious. If Xiao Yuankai was always by Huan'er's side, how could he bring Huan'er back?

Xiao Yuankai helped Su Huan get on the carriage, and Shen Ting followed the two of them all the way to the downtown area.

Watching Xiao Yuankai take Su Huan into a cloth shop, then into a shoe shop, and then a jewelry shop.

After much thought, he couldn't find a chance to be alone with Su Huan, and he became more and more anxious.

At this moment, Xiao Yuankai seemed to meet someone he knew. After saying a few words to Su Huan, he walked out alone, leaving only Su Huan to be favored by those who followed him.

Su Huan is carefully choosing jewelry.

This is the first time Xiao Lang has given her jewelry, so she has to choose carefully.

Just as she was getting excited, someone stood next to her and whispered to her: "Huan'er, I have something to tell you. Come with me."

When Su Huan saw Shen Ting, her expression was not very good.

This step-brother always likes to contradict her.

Last time she wanted to go to the Xiao Mansion to work as a maid, but she had to wait with him for a long time before getting his permission.

Later, he said that he wanted to move to a servant's house in the Xiao Mansion, but he also blocked it with all his strength.

She knew that he secretly admired her, so when she had a relationship with Xiao Lang, she kept it secret from him and secretly moved all her belongings out of her adopted brother's residence. I didn’t expect that he would actually catch up here.

She was worried that Shen Ting would do something bad, so she glanced at the two servants guarding the door, lowered her voice, and said displeasedly: "Brother, I am about to become Xiao Lang's aunt. If you are really good for me, you shouldn't keep pestering her." .Now that my concubine has been sent to you, I have repaid my kindness for being raised by you all these years. You should be satisfied!"

Shen Ting didn't expect that she would actually say such words, and he regretted that he had not taught her well recently and allowed her to be taught bad things in Xiao's house.

"Follow me. I have something to say to you. If after that you still choose to be Xiao Yuankai's concubine, I have nothing to say."

Shen Ting said that he was going to pull her.

Su Huan quickly avoided his touch.

He quietly glanced at the servants at the door. Fortunately, they didn't see him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here. Xiao Lang will be back soon, and he will hurt me badly if he sees me."

Shen Ting looked at this adopted sister with disappointment, who was completely different from before.

He was so sensible before, but now he has become so powerful.

No, he must correct her!

"If you want me to say it here, then I will say it here, but don't regret it."

Seeing that he seemed to really have something important to say, Su Huan was worried that being heard here would be detrimental to him, and Xiao Lang would definitely have a grudge against him.

He had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go with you. You have to tell me as soon as possible."

When the two servants were not paying attention, he followed Su Huan and slipped out from the backyard of the jewelry shop.

Shen Ting took her out of the jewelry store, turning left and right.

After walking through a few alleys, Su Huan shook his hand and said, "Brother, where are you taking me? This is far enough. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Shen Ting coaxed her: "Just walk through this alley and you'll be there."

Su Huan was wary. Their residence was not here, so it was possible that his sworn brother would bring him here... But when he thought of this, he ruled out this possibility.

My sworn brother has always prided himself on being upright and honest, so he would definitely not do such an ugly thing.

Besides, although there were a few turns here, it was actually not far from the jewelry store, so I don’t think he would do such blatantly bad things.

After thinking clearly, I followed him to the door of a low house.

"Brother, where are you?"

Shen Ting was afraid of scaring her, so he explained: "This is a friend's old house."

It's a dilapidated little courtyard.

Open the courtyard door and take Su Huan in.

The house was very simple, but clean, and there was a faint fragrance, a bit like the smell of long-lasting fragrant wood.

Shen Ting poured a glass of water for her and handed it over: "You are thirsty, take a sip of water first."

He poured himself another glass and drank it first.

The weather was hot and Su Huan felt thirsty after being out for a while.

Seeing that he had finished drinking, he also picked up the cup and took a sip without any precautions.

At this time, at the shady alley entrance, a young woman was panting as she walked and looked around. Looking at the two forks in front of her, she asked the maid passing by in a low voice: "Are you sure you are going in this direction?"

Magnolia nodded, "Miss, I saw them entering here, but I don't know which side it is."

She also went back to report to the lady, then came in with the lady, and disappeared after following her here.
