Chapter 16 My Lord, I'm Afraid

"Three boxes of gold, totaling thirty thousand taels!"

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"Ten shops!"

"Two courtyards!"

"Three private residences..."

Su Tangyu held the dowry list in her hand, her soft and pleasant voice resounding.

Su Jiangang had just woken up after being pinched on the Ren Zhong point. When he heard her voice, he almost blacked out and passed out again.

He was angry and afraid, his whole body trembling, his lips pale as he sat up, "Enough! Stop reading!"

"OK."

Su Tangyu appeared well-behaved, smiling innocently, "Daddy knows deep down that he won't owe his daughter a dowry, right?"

"Cousin, my uncle is the Minister of Works, a second-rank official! He will definitely not make a mistake with the dowry!" Yun Zhiyi also smiled and complimented him.

Without waiting for Su Jian to fake a smile.

Yun Zhiyi changed the subject, "The Prince Regent has personally seen it. If there are any problems, wouldn't your uncle's reputation be ruined in no time?"

Su Jian's eyes rolled back, and he fainted in Song Meifang's arms.

Song Meifang was filled with anger and hatred, staring at Su Tangyu intently: "Are you going to be satisfied only if your father dies of anger?"

Su Tangyu pursed the corners of her mouth.

Don’t think she can’t see that Su Jian is pretending to be faint!

Su Jian was really so angry that he died after murdering his mother and brother and embezzling her dowry?

She will definitely set off fireworks for three days and three nights!

"Cousin, thank you for your hard work." Su Tangyu turned sideways and invited with a faint smile: "Let's go to Tangliju for a cup of tea."

Yun Zhiyi wanted to go.

But when he thought of the Regent's warning, the hairs on his back stood on end.

Be careful?

He is too close to my cousin and takes his anger out on her. What should I do?

Yun Zhiyi shook his head helplessly, "Let's do it another day. I have to go back to the teahouse."

"Then I'll see my cousin off!"

Su Tangyu went to see Yun Zhiyi off.

When they reached a long corridor, Su Tangyu waved his hand, signaling Qinglan and Yinlian to step back a few steps.

She turned around and looked at Yun Zhiyi, smiling gratefully: "Thank you for helping me, cousin."

“This is what I should do!”

Yun Zhiyi is sincere and affectionate. As a brother, he should protect his sister!

He feels very distressed!

I'm also worried about Su Tangyu.

Yun Zhiyi glanced around and lowered her voice to show her concern: "Cousin Tangyu, they can kill your aunt, and they might even kill you for the dowry!"

"You don't have anyone reliable around you. Can I give you some guards?"

Su Tangyu shook her head.

She gave Yun Zhiyi a faint smile, her eyes bright and confident: "Don't worry, cousin, I have my own countermeasures."

Yun Zhiyi's lips moved, and he was worried.

But he also knew that Su Tangyu was opinionated and stubborn, and would not easily change her mind once she made up her mind.

He could only clench his fists and sigh, "Be careful! If anything happens, tell your cousin. He will always help you!"

"Thank you, cousin."

Su Tangyu felt a pang of pain in her heart, and the corners of her eyes turned red.

She sent Yun Zhiyi out of the Shangshu Mansion.

Outside, many people were still waiting to watch the excitement. When they saw Su Tangyu, they looked at her with pity and sympathy. When Yun Zhiyi walked out, they immediately surrounded her, chattering and trying to get some gossip!

Yun Zhiyi smiled bitterly and sighed, "The marriage is not going through! They asked my cousin to cancel the engagement!"

"Alas, my poor cousin, all I can do is take back my dowry and find a good husband again!"

The crowd exploded.

Don’t even think about the reputation of the Su family and the Ningguo Marquis Mansion!

Su Tangyu curled her lips and turned back to Tangliju. Her eyes were reluctant to leave, her nails pinched hard on her palms, and she took a deep breath.

She doesn't want to leave!

But she couldn't gamble her life on Su Jian and Song Meifang's conscience.

Because they are worse than animals!

No conscience.

Su Tangyu pursed her lips and shouted, "Qinglan, Yinlian, pack your things!"

…

"Master, what should we do?"

Song Meifang slapped her thigh and cried out with a sad face, "We can't even take out a box of gold!"

Su Jian's face turned the color of liver.

He was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged. He gasped and cursed, "This traitorous little bitch! She should have been killed along with her mother!"

"Master, it's not too late now."

Song Meifang leaned over and patted Su Jian's back gently to calm him down. "Su Tangyu is just a debt collector!"

"She disregards the father-daughter relationship with the master and is determined to destroy our family!"

A sinister look flashed in Su Jian's eyes.

There's no point in keeping a disobedient daughter!

But he was still a little afraid, "Su Tangyu has the regent as her backer, it's not easy for us to touch her."

The emperor is young, and the regent has the final say in the entire Yan Kingdom!

Even if Su Jian had a hundred guts, he would not dare to anger the Regent.

Song Meifang is also afraid!

But she was even more afraid that Su Jian would find out that she had squandered and misappropriated a lot of Su Tangyu's dowry. If she really gave him a dowry, Su Jian would strangle her to death when the accounts were settled.

Song Meifang's eyes rolled around and she had an evil plan in mind!

She instigated and bewitched him, "Master, the Regent is in a high position of power. What kind of women has he not seen?"

"Su Tangyu is only a temporary novelty! I'll get tired of her soon. Can the Regent really embarrass you, a Second Rank Minister of Works, for her?"

Su Jian didn't say anything, but his expression was obviously shaken.

Song Meifang continued to instigate, "Master, Su Tangyu is dead, and we don't have to pay a single penny!"

"Zhaoyang can also marry into the Marquis' Mansion as she wishes and become the wife of the Crown Prince!"

"Master, if you are afraid of the Regent, we can find a scapegoat!"

A smile appeared on Su Jian's face.

He reached out and hugged Song Meifang, stroked her beard, and smiled and praised her: "Madam, you are so smart! With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"

"I'm doing this all for your own good, Master!" Song Meifang smiled as viciously as a snake or scorpion.

This time, the little bitch can't escape!

Song Meifang personally sent someone to buy poison, added it to Su Tangyu's food, and then chose an unlucky person to send to Tangliju.

They are all ready!

As soon as Su Tangyu's poison takes effect, a funeral will be held immediately, and the unlucky guy will be beaten to death, leaving no evidence!

They have beautiful thoughts.

soon!

The maid who brought the food ran in panicked: "Master! Madam! Something terrible has happened!"

Song Meifang and Su Jian looked at each other and stood up excitedly, "What's wrong?"

The maid ran out of breath and spoke incoherently, "The eldest lady, she, she..."

Su Jian couldn't wait, "Is he dead?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, then her breathing slowed down. She shook her head and said, "Master, the eldest lady is not dead, she is gone!"

What? ? ?

Su Jian and Song Meifang were extremely anxious and rushed to Tangli Residence immediately, only to find that the house was empty.

Su Tangyu and her two maids are all missing!

Su Jian was panicking and quickly called out, "Come here! Search! She must still be in the mansion!"

They never expected it!

At this moment, Su Tangyu was already sitting in the Regent's Palace drinking tea.

Holding the warm teacup with her slender jade fingers, Su Tangyu lowered her head and looked weak and thin, very pitiful.

Xiao Jin walked in slowly, staring at her with dark and deep eyes, "Xiao Yu'er, do you have something to ask me?"

"Your Majesty, I'm scared."

Su Tangyu raised her head, her almond eyes filled with tears, and begged him weakly and helplessly: "Prince, can I live with you?"
