Su Jinyue smiled sweetly, her eyes calm and indifferent, "Aunt, if I still had money, I would have taken it out long ago. Why are you making things so difficult for me?"
Liu was unwilling to give in and was about to continue questioning when a servant came in to report.
"Madam, someone has come from the shop in Beijing."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Caiping asked hurriedly.
The servant's face was filled with worry. "It seems he is here for business in the capital!"
When Liu heard this, her face turned pale and she hurriedly left, "You guys should handle these matters by yourselves. I have something to do so I will leave first!"
Su Jinyue carefully observed Jiang Caiping's expression and said, "Mother, don't worry too much. There is always a way to solve these problems."
Jiang Caiping smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Jinyue, I am very satisfied that you can say that."
"Mother also knows that what happened before was not your fault. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Mother will solve it."
Su Jinyue curled her lips and smiled slightly, and the smile on her face faded after Jiang Caiping left.
She could never clearly understand what her mother really thought of her.
Su Jinyue lowered her eyelashes and sighed. She now had to help the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion solve its current troubles as soon as possible, and at the same time find out the whole story.
Returning to the room, she lit the candle on the table and pondered to herself.
When Xiao Duo and Qin Qiong left yesterday, he said that he would tell her when he found a place to stay.
But there has been no news until now, and with the commotion outside, she couldn't be sure whether Xiao Duo didn't show up or something had happened.
Suddenly, a breeze blew the window, and the wooden window opened wide!
"who?!"
Su Jinyue stood up and walked to the window, and saw a figure emerging from behind the window.
It was Meng Ning who had just returned from the western suburbs!
"You're here just in time. Have you found anything?!" Su Jinyue frowned slightly and asked immediately.
Meng Ning wiped his sweat and panted as he said, "We found some clues in the western suburbs, but we didn't see Xiao Duo and Miss Ruan."
"However, we found traces of a large number of people coming in and out. It is very likely that they were secretly transferred."
After Su Jinyue thought about it, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "It seems that the other party is leading us in the wrong direction."
"Our people are still tracking, but we also found something strange."
"What is it?" Su Jinyue asked nervously.
"We found a house near the western suburbs. Although it was empty, according to what the brothers who were at the scene said, it seemed that the people inside had left not long ago." Meng Ning looked worried.
Su Jinyue nodded thoughtfully. That place might be the place where she was captured.
"Look there carefully and see if you can find any clues."
Meng Ning nodded solemnly, "I will send more people to investigate, but if we continue like this, everyone has already left and we may not find anything."
Su Jinyue was silent for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I'm going to Liang City tonight, Xiaoyao Tower may be able to get news tonight."
“This is too dangerous!”
Meng Ning immediately objected, "Our general disappeared just like that. If what Miss Su said is true... I have no way to explain it to you when the general comes back!"
"You will go with me today." Su Jinyue stood up slowly. "This matter is of great importance. I can't wait any longer. Besides, no one else can help with this matter except me."
Meng Ning knew that Miss Su had a stubborn personality, so he could only reluctantly agree, "Then I will go with Miss Su today."
"Okay, let's go together." Su Jinyue nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.
The two discussed the plan and decided to take action in the dead of night.
At that time, Jiang Caiping's yard was in turmoil!
Yuehua knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
Jiang Caiping threw the account book in front of her. "I asked you to sort out the account books in the mansion and the shops outside the mansion because I trust you!"
"But now you are a traitor! You even set your sights on the shop. Over the past few years, you have embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
Yuehua never expected that one day she would be uprooted because of the fake products found in Su Jinyue's warehouse.
"Madam...please listen to my explanation..."
Jiang Caiping suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at the person kneeling on the ground!
"What else do you have to explain? You are my maidservant! I trust you the most. How did you do this?!"
"Madam, someone has framed me!" Yuehua raised her head with tears in her eyes, "I have never touched a penny of the mansion's money!"
Jiang Caiping snorted coldly, "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble?!"
Yuehua trembled and said, "It's really not me. I have never taken any money from Madam's shop!"
Jiang Caiping's face was grim. "Come here, take her away and interrogate her thoroughly!"
The maids stepped forward and dragged Yuehua out, and her cries gradually disappeared in the distant courtyard.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door, "Mother, what happened?"
Su Zhiyao walked in slowly, took a quick look, and was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that her mother would actually ask someone to drag Yuehua out.
When Jiang Caiping saw Su Zhiyao coming, the anger on her face subsided a little, "Why are you here at this time?"
"Of course I came to see my mother and brought her some cakes made by my daughter."
Su Zhiyao put the pastries on the table and rubbed Jiang Caiping's shoulders attentively.
"Mother, Sister Yuehua is your personal maid. What did she do wrong to make you so angry?"
Jiang Caiping sighed and rubbed her brows, "This Yuehua, actually dared to embezzle the money in the mansion without permission. If it weren't for the incident in Jinyue's warehouse, she would have kept it secret for who knows how long!"
Su Zhiyao's eyes flashed with surprise and guilt, "Mother, we have to investigate it carefully. We can't just let it go like this."
