Chapter 146 Can't Keep Her



"I have asked people to investigate. This matter must be handled properly, otherwise everyone in the mansion will learn bad things!" Jiang Caiping looked a little tired.

"Mother, don't work too hard. Your daughter will share your worries." Su Zhiyao comforted her softly.

Although she was comforting Jiang Caiping softly, Su Zhiyao rolled her eyes.

The shop outside the mansion has always been managed by Yuehua on behalf of Jiang Caiping.

Su Zhiyao naturally knew how much money she had swallowed.

Su Zhiyao can get most of the money confiscated by the shop. Now that Yuehua is in trouble, she is likely to betray her.

Su Zhiyao narrowed her eyes, it seemed that the person could not be kept!

"Mother, please let your daughter go to the trial. Don't worry so much."

Jiang Caiping sighed, and looked at Su Zhiyao with a softer gaze, "Zhiyao is sensible and can share mother's worries."

"What are you talking about, mother?"

Su Zhiyao poured Jiang Caiping a cup of hot tea and said, "Now that I have grown up, I can help my mother with her worries."

"Please eat some cakes first. I will go out and examine her for you."

Su Zhiyao came out of Jiang Caiping's room and looked at the maids guarding on both sides.

She raised her finger and hooked it. The maids on both sides stepped forward respectfully, "Second Miss."

Su Zhiyao casually gave the two maids ten taels of silver and said, "Mother is tired and is resting inside. None of you can go in and disturb her."

"If there is something wrong, please report it to me and I will tell my mother."

After receiving the silver, the two maids immediately smiled and said, "I understand, Second Miss, we will definitely not disturb Madam."

"Um."

Su Zhiyao walked towards the backyard of Jiang Caiping's courtyard.

After passing through the stone archway, Su Zhiyao heard the screams of Yuehua, who was beaten until she was hoarse.

She walked forward slowly. Yuehua was pressed to the ground. When she looked up and called out, she saw Su Zhiyao, as if she had seen a savior.

"Second Miss! Second Miss, save me, Second Miss!"

Su Zhiyao's eyes were cold, and she raised her hand to ask the others to stop, "Wait a minute."

"Second Miss, this is Madam's order." Several servants said.

Su Zhiyao raised her eyes and looked towards them. "I just came from my mother's place. My mother said that she would let me interrogate her. You all should go out first."

These people had also received Jiang Caiping's orders, and when they heard that the second young lady came for the lady, they naturally did not dare to disobey.

After they all left, Yuehua lay on the ground covered in wounds, trying to get up and grab the hem of Su Zhiyao's skirt.

"Second Miss..."

Su Zhiyao took a step back imperceptibly, her expression of disgust evident in her words.

She raised her handkerchief to cover her nose; the smell of blood made her feel uncomfortable.

"Sister Yuehua, this is your fault. You even dared to swallow the money from my mother's shop. I can't save you."

Yuehua's eyes suddenly opened, "Second Miss! This servant is also for the Second Miss!!"

Su Zhiyao smiled coldly, "For me? Tell me, can swallowing silver be for me?"

Yuehua hurriedly explained: "Second Miss, you forgot that I always follow your arrangements. You have a share in the transfer of money in this mansion!"

"Oh, don't say that." Su Zhiyao interrupted her, "If you make a big deal out of this, it will be hard to excuse you."

Yuehua trembled all over, knowing that she had no way out, so she had to be more cautious, "Second Miss, I will listen to you in everything. Please save me, I can help you with other things."

"Now that mother is furious, I am afraid I cannot bring myself to save you even if I want to."

Su Zhiyao lowered her eyes and looked at Yuehua, "You are the only one who can bear this sin. Don't think that your sin will be lessened just because you dragged me out."

"No matter what, I am the second daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. You should know how much my mother, father, and brother love me."

"I don't need to teach you what to say and what not to say."

Yuehua's whole body was cold, and she nodded continuously, "Yes... I know what to do."

"I'm glad you understand." Su Zhiyao said and turned to leave.

Yuehua quickly knelt down and crawled forward a few steps, "But Second Miss! I am worried about this crime, Madam will definitely drive me out!"

"If this servant cannot come up with all the silver, Madam will not forgive this servant..."

Su Zhiyao turned her head and looked at Yuehua, who was lying on the ground in disgrace. Her smile was cold and sinister. "Then you have to find a way to save Sister Yuehua. Mother will definitely not take you to court because you have served her for so many years."

"Second Miss, please help me for the sake of our past friendship..." Yuehua's voice almost sounded like she was crying.

Su Zhiyao glanced at her indifferently and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't talk about me, I will say a few good words for you."

"Thank you, Second Miss!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yuehua's eyes.

Su Zhiyao snorted softly, looked at Yuehua as if she was looking at a dead person, and then turned and left.

Outside the yard, several maids were talking in low voices.

"Hey, have you heard? Yuehua actually embezzled the money from the mansion!"

"Yeah, I can't believe she could do such a thing. Isn't she the Madam's personal maid? How dare she do such a thing?!"

"Why not? Everyone who is around Madam wants to get some benefits, but I didn't expect her to be so bold as to do this!"

As they were talking, Su Zhiyao walked out from the yard, and several maids immediately stopped talking and bowed respectfully.

"Second Miss."

Su Zhiyao nodded slightly, her face calm, "Mother is resting, don't disturb her."

"Yes, Second Miss."

"Oh, by the way, Yuehua has already admitted that she was the one who embezzled the money from the shop. After mother wakes up, we can ask her to sign and get the money back."

"Yes, the Second Miss is really capable. She managed to find out the person in less than an incense stick of time!" The maid next to her flattered Su Zhiyao.

Su Zhiyao sneered in her heart and walked quickly into the corridor.

After dusk fell in the middle of the night, Su Jinyue and Meng Ning arrived in Liang City.

Under the cover of night, Liangshi seemed particularly dim, with all kinds of shouting and hawking sounds mixed together, making it loud and noisy.

There was no sign of the unrest that had occurred here in the past few days.

Meng Ning frowned, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Su, are we really going to Xiaoyao Tower?"

"We must go." Su Jinyue said without hesitation, "Now only Xiaoyao Tower can solve our problem."

However, when they arrived outside Xiaoyao Tower today, things were a little different from usual.

Usually there were crowds of people outside Xiaoyao Tower, but now the door is closed and there is no one.

Su Jinyue felt something was wrong, but she could only go forward and knock on the door.

After a long while, the door opened a crack, revealing an old eye.

The eye opened the door only after seeing Su Jinyue.

The old man who stayed in the store that night opened the door and said, "Miss Su, you are here. The owner is waiting for you. He knew you would come today."

Su Jinyue nodded slightly, "Thank you." Then she stepped into the room.

Meng Ning followed closely behind, carefully looking around, "This place looks a little strange."

"It's okay." Su Jinyue saw that Mu Ze was only waiting for her today, so they walked straight into the depths of the building.

After walking through the corridor, they came to a dark room.

The room was still dark, and Mu Ze sat in the upper seat.

Su Jinyue bowed and said, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you."

Mu Ze waved his hand, and the old man who had taken Su Jinyue upstairs turned around and went downstairs.

The moment the door closed, Mu Ze moved and came in front of Su Jinyue.

He turned his wrist, and an exquisite dagger appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it towards Su Jinyue's neck!

Meng Ning reacted extremely quickly, his eyes flashed and he raised his arm to block the dagger!

"what you up to?!"

At that time, the dagger was less than an inch away from Su Jinyue's neck!

Su Jinyue didn't even try to hide, she looked up at Mu Ze and said, "Is this the host's way of entertaining guests?"
