Chapter 157 Counting Money for Her



Jiang Caiping nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Jinyue, you are so sensible now, and mother is very happy."

She stood up, patted Su Jinyue's shoulder lightly, then turned and walked out the door.

Su Jinyue walked her to the door and watched her back gradually disappear into the night. The smile in her eyes faded.

At this time, the wind in the yard brought gusts of coolness, making people shiver unconsciously.

Su Jinyue came back to her senses and whispered, "Xiao Tao, have a good rest. I'll go to the backyard."

Although Xiao Tao injured her shoulder, she managed to sit up and said, "Miss, do you need me to go with you?"

"It's okay, you should rest soon and don't worry about me." Su Jinyue then slowly walked out of the room.

The matters in the mansion are not important at the moment, but there is still no news from the people in Western Xinjiang, which makes Su Jinyue a little worried.

Xiao Duo, Qin Qiong and the others were fine, but rumors were already spreading in the capital.

Those people must be unable to bear it any longer.

Early the next morning, Liu went to Wangyuexuan.

"I have also prepared the money. You can pay back the money to your mother, and we can go to the Treasure Pavilion together to redeem your things."

Liu said, "After all, it was something taken out from your small storehouse, so you can tell whether it's real or fake."

Su Jinyue did not refuse, "Okay, Aunt, please prepare the carriage."

Not long after, Su Jinyue and Liu got on the mansion's carriage and drove towards the Treasure Pavilion.

On the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat silent.

Liu looked at Su Jinyue and rolled her eyes. "I heard that something big happened in the courtyard yesterday. Su Zhiyao was sent away?"

Su Jinyue smiled faintly and said, "She was sick and was sent to the farm. Auntie, don't worry about her."

"I'm not thinking about this...it's Su Zhiyao..."

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked at Liu, "Aunt, you still haven't mentioned this matter."

"After all, you are also members of the Marquis' Mansion. If this matter gets out, where will Second Uncle's face be in the court?"

Liu's expression changed, but she finally swallowed her words of enjoyment, "You're right, I was overthinking."

The carriage drove all the way to the front of the Treasure Pavilion. When the two got off the carriage, a waiter came up to them and said respectfully, "Miss Su, Madam, what can I do for you?"

Liu smiled slightly, quite respectable outside, "We are here to redeem some things, please take us in."

The waiter immediately led the two men to the inner hall.

At this time, there were already quite a few customers in the store. When they saw Su Jinyue and Liu come in, they started talking in low voices.

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I heard that something unpleasant happened a while ago."

"Yeah, it looks like the young lady is fine."

Their words reached Su Jinyue's ears, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face, as if she was not affected at all.

When we arrived at the inner hall, the shopkeeper personally received us, "Ms. Su and Madam Liu, please wait a moment. We will send someone to get the things."

"Thank you." Su Jinyue nodded in greeting.

The shopkeeper turned around and told the waiter to get the things. Liu looked at the dazzling array of goods in the Treasure Pavilion, frowned slightly, and said to Su Jinyue: "The things here are indeed exquisite. If you buy your things in the Treasure Pavilion, some of them will be resold..."

Although Liu hadn't finished her words, her worry was already evident.

"Don't worry, auntie."

Su Jinyue said, "I have asked everyone one by one. It has not been long since Lan Shao brought those things over, and the boss has not yet had time to sell them."

Liu nodded, "That's good, otherwise your second uncle will be in trouble."

Not long after, the shopkeeper returned, and the waiter behind him brought three boxes of things over. "Miss Su, your things are ready. Please take a look."

Su Jinyue checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, she turned to look at Liu, "Aunt, I have checked it, and there is nothing missing."

Liu then asked the shopkeeper, "How much silver do these cost?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Since you are the wife of the Marquis's Mansion, I will not ask for more money from you."

"But we are also open for business. Let's put it this way. We will charge you a fair price of 80 million taels of silver."

"What?!"

Liu's eyes widened. "These things are only worth 20 or 30 million taels of silver. Aren't you asking too much for me, the shopkeeper?!"

The shopkeeper still smiled and said, "Madam, you are joking. My treasure pavilion is open to the highest bidder. If I split these things, I can sell them for a higher price."

"I have some connections with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and I am also giving Miss Su face."

The shopkeeper spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and his hidden meaning was to tell Liu that there was someone behind him.

Liu's expression changed again and again, and she could only pull Su Jinyue's sleeve, "Jinyue, including the money your mother gave me, I only brought 70 million taels of silver. There's also your grandmother's silver in here, so I really can't take out more silver!"

Su Jinyue discussed with the shopkeeper and was not at all surprised by the price offered by the shopkeeper.

"Boss, you see, in our house, these things are only worth 20 or 30 million taels of silver."

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to offer such a price?" Su Jinyue said in a calm tone, deliberately speaking for her in front of Liu Shi.

The shopkeeper still kept smiling, "Miss Su, I really gave you the lowest price. Logically, the price you can sell it for should be even higher!"

Su Jinyue pretended to think, "If that's the case, then why not do this."

"I will only choose the most important ones to redeem. The others will be left with you for now."

"no!"
