"yes."

Su Jinyue walked out of the house and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she also felt a vague sense of uneasiness.

The masked man was definitely not a simple person, but he was too cautious and she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Who are these people?"

She whispered to herself, then suddenly shook her head, "The most important thing now is to find Xiao Duo and the others."

Su Jinyue got on the carriage and headed towards the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

On the carriage, Su Jinyue tapped the table with her index finger.

It seems that those people didn't seem to know that the person they were chasing last night was Xiao Duo.

But this news cannot be kept secret for long. If Xiao Duo and the others can never be found, the news of their disappearance will probably spread widely.

Just as Su Jinyue was thinking about how to explain the matter to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, the carriage stopped.

"Miss, we have arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Su Jinyue lifted the curtain of the carriage and just got off the carriage, she heard a sudden noise coming from the distance.

She looked up and saw a figure running towards her quickly. It was Meng Ning!

"Miss Su! Are you okay?" Meng Ning's face was full of anxiety.

"Nothing." Su Jinyue said, "Any news about your young general?"

Meng Ning's brows were twisted into knots, and he could only shake his head helplessly, "There is absolutely no news about the young general, and the news that the young general and Miss Ruan are missing has spread throughout the capital!"

Su Jinyue's heart sank. Although she had expected this, the fact that it happened so quickly still made her feel stressed.

"Where did the news come from?" Su Jinyue asked anxiously.

Meng Ning sighed, "I don't know where it got out of, but it's all over the city now!"

The discussions of the people around them also reached their ears.

"I heard that the young general of the Duke of Zhenguo and Miss Ruan are missing?"

"That's right. I heard something happened. I wonder if this person is still alive!"

"Hey! I heard that those two went to investigate the matter in Western Xinjiang. Could it be that they uncovered some incredible secret?"

"Who knows? General Xiao is so powerful, it's impossible for him to get into trouble like this..."

Su Jinyue secretly said, "Meng Ning, we must find them as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for the capital."

"But where can we find it? The capital is so big and we don't have any clues..."

Su Jinyue thought for a moment and remembered the red mark: "I found a map in the deserted house, and there is a place marked on it called Western Suburbs."

"You can bring people to look for him in a grand manner. If you really are there, no one will bother you."

"Western suburbs?"

Meng Ning frowned, "That place is a bit remote, how could the general go there!"

"Maybe, it's worth a try."

Su Jinyue said, "You go find someone, I'll go see the madam first."

Meng Ning nodded, "Okay, I'll go gather some people right away!"

The two of them acted separately, and Su Jinyue decided to go directly to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to report the situation.

As soon as I stepped into the mansion, I saw the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo pacing back and forth in the hall with a worried look on her face.

"Jinyue, you're back. Do you have any news?" When she saw Su Jinyue, she immediately came forward.

Su Jinyue bowed slightly, "Madam, I found some clues. It is possible that the young general was taken to the western suburbs."

"Western Suburbs?" Lady Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, then her brows relaxed slightly. "That's good, that's good!"

"Meng Ning and I have already started arranging personnel and are ready to go searching immediately." Su Jinyue said.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded and took out the troop dispatch card from the mansion. "How many people do you need? You can dispatch all the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

Therefore, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo trusted Su Jinyue very much and gave her the badge for mobilizing troops!

Su Jinyue quickly pushed the badge back to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, "Madam, there is no need to do this. I tried my best to help him because he is Xiao Duo."

"Madam, don't worry. There has been no news for so long. Maybe it's good news."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's eyes turned red, and she patted Su Jinyue's hand, "Good child, you have worked hard."

After dealing with the affairs of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Su Jinyue returned to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It was already evening.

She returned to her yard and found that Liu and Jiang Caiping were also in her yard.

When Liu saw Su Jinyue, she spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn't this the busy man in our mansion? He finally decided to come back."

In response to her weird tone, Su Jinyue only raised her eyebrows slightly, "Mother, aunt, is there something wrong?"

"Jin Yue, you are really a forgetful person. After you are busy with things outside the mansion, you forget about our own affairs in the mansion?"

Liu said, "The things in your warehouse are fake. How do you want to end this matter now?"

Su Jinyue blinked and walked forward, "How about Auntie give me some advice?"

"My aunt and mother came here today. They should have seen my yard. The valuable things have been replaced by fakes by Lan Shao. I can't afford the money."

After that, Su Jinyue blocked what Liu wanted to say, "Aunt, do you want to exchange my dowry for these things?"

Liu, who was about to speak, felt a burning sensation on her face.

She gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't get the real thing back, your uncle's reputation will be ruined!"

Su Jinyue nodded, "Aunt is right. Our mansion is not without money. Mother is in charge of the household expenses. Why don't you allocate some money to help Aunt out of this urgent need?"

"Even if I tell my grandmother about this, she will understand."

Jiang Caiping wanted to do this, she frowned and said, "I asked someone to ask the pawnshop today, those people really know how to make money!"

"He actually wants several times the price of the things he sold before he is willing to return them!"

"The silver we got back from Lan Shao is only enough to fill most of the gap. The Marquis' Mansion needs to pay another three million taels of silver!"

Liu's face suddenly darkened. She obviously didn't expect the amount of money to be so huge!

Even if they exchanged the things back, if the Marquis' Mansion was emptied, their second branch would also be in financial difficulty!

"They are so bold as to ask for such a high price. Don't they know that we are the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?!" Liu said.

Jiang Caiping shook her head. "The people behind this pawnshop are also supported by the imperial court. We can't afford to offend them!"

Su Jinyue was prepared for all this and smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's just three million taels, the income from my mother's shop outside for two years is enough."

"Besides, this matter is for Second Uncle after all. Doesn't Aunt intend to give some money?"

Liu was so angry that she laughed, "Where do I have money? Do you really think money falls from the sky?!"

Su Jinyue remained calm, "After all, this matter was caused by the replacement of the items in my residence with fake ones."

"I am willing to give some money too." Su Jinyue took out the banknotes from her sleeve, "I only have two hundred taels left, I will give all of them to mother."

After Su Jinyue finished speaking, she looked at Liu and said, "After all, this is Second Uncle's future, and you can't blame it all on me alone."

"Lu Wu is my aunt's person. If she wasn't greedy for money, and my aunt knew about it earlier, it wouldn't have come to this point."

Liu's face changed and she cursed Lu Wu in her heart, saying that she was a traitor!

Su Jinyue continued, "If you feel embarrassed, then go and ask your grandmother and let her make the decision for you."

Jiang Caiping sighed and said to Chong: "I think it would be better to embezzle some money from each family and settle the matter first."

Although Liu was reluctant, she knew the seriousness of the situation and nodded reluctantly.

"My dowry is not more than yours, sister-in-law." Liu gritted her teeth and said painfully, "I can only take out one million taels of silver, no more!"

Jiang Caiping accepted the two hundred taels of silver that Su Jinyue had left behind. Of course, the Marquis' Mansion could not afford the remaining two million taels of silver.

She could only take out money from her own treasury, and adding the dowry saved by Zhiyao, maybe that would be enough.

Liu looked at Su Jinyue, wanting to get some more silver from her. "Jinyue, do you only have two hundred taels of silver left?"
