Liu was the first to retort, "We have to take all these things back!"

Su Jinyue sighed and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, we will come to the Treasure Pavilion to buy things often in the future."

"These things are very important to me. The shopkeeper sold them to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion at that time, and also to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion for some face."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, "Then how much money can you offer?"

"Seventy million taels, I can't afford any more."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Then for Miss Su's sake, I'll give you 70 million taels of silver."

Only then did Liu heave a sigh of relief and quickly asked people to load the things onto the carriage.

Su Jinyue smiled and thanked the shopkeeper, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper also responded politely: "Miss Su, you are too polite. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Su Jinyue and Liu left the Treasure Pavilion together with the redeemed items.

After leaving the store, Liu still sighed with lingering fear: "This shopkeeper is really cunning. He cheated me out of a large sum of money today!"

Su Jinyue said to Liu: "Aunt, please get on the carriage first. I have something to discuss with the shopkeeper. Please wait for me for a while."

Liu frowned, but she also knew that Su Jinyue always had her own ideas, so she nodded, "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you in the carriage."

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, turned around and walked back to the Treasure Pavilion.

At this time, there were fewer customers in the store. The shopkeeper was sorting out banknotes behind the counter. When he saw Su Jinyue walk in, he immediately put down his work and said, "Miss Su."

Su Jinyue smiled slightly.

The shopkeeper immediately came out and moved closer, whispering, "Let's talk in the inner hall."

"Um."

In the inner hall.

The shopkeeper returned all the 70 million taels of silver notes to Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, these are your silver notes, please take them."

Su Jinyue took out a five million tael silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I would also like to thank you, shopkeeper, for getting this done for me."

"Miss Su, what are you talking about? General Xiao has been very kind to me, and you are really embarrassing me."

"You're welcome, boss. This is what you deserve."

Su Jinyue put down the banknote and said, "I know that the shopkeeper doesn't care about five million taels of silver. This is my sincerity. Please accept it."

Hearing Su Jinyue's words, the shopkeeper did not continue to refuse, "Thank you, Miss Su."

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and replied, "Don't worry, Miss Su. I know my limits. No one else knows about those things. No one will know about this."

Su Jinyue nodded with satisfaction, took out a small medicine bag from her sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper, "This is a tranquilizer I made myself. It will be very useful for you, the shopkeeper, who has a headache and can't fall asleep at night."

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and took the medicine package, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Miss Su. You know all about me."

Su Jinyue nodded to him, and the shopkeeper put down his things and sent her out.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Su Jinyue got back into the carriage.

Liu had just lifted the curtain of the carriage and watched Su Jinyue being escorted out by the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing her getting into the carriage, he asked with concern, "But what delayed you? What did you say to the shopkeeper?"

She was afraid that Su Jinyue was hiding something from her.

Su Jinyue smiled and took out five million taels of silver from her sleeve, "These are for my aunt."

Liu was surprised to see so much silver and quickly grabbed the five million taels of silver in her hand, "Is this from the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion?"

Su Jinyue sighed, and as if thinking about Liu, she said, "When I think about Aunt taking out so much money, I feel distressed."

"I knew that the shopkeeper had a headache and a fever, so I took the homemade tranquilizer and gave it to him."

"I was so embarrassed that I told the shopkeeper about the situation in the mansion, and the shopkeeper gave me another five million taels of silver."

Su Jinyue said: "I also asked for this money for my aunt, so I should leave it all to her. After all, my second uncle's career would be impossible without money."

Liu was really moved by Su Jinyue's words and held Su Jinyue's hand tightly.

"Jin Yue, your aunt was really deaf and blind at first, thinking that Su Zhiyao was the legitimate daughter of our Marquisate!"

"I really should slap myself twice. How come I never saw such a good niece before!"

Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "Aunt, don't say that. I'm just doing my best."

Liu held her hand tightly, her eyes slightly reddened, "Jin Yue, from now on, our aunt in the Marquisate will only acknowledge you as her legitimate daughter. That Su Zhiyao is really a troublemaker!"

The two were about to continue their conversation when a sudden noise was heard outside the carriage.

"Look, why are there so many people over there?"

"It seems like an army in a barracks."

"I heard that the capital has been a bit unstable recently. Could it be..."

The discussions around them entered the car, and Liu lifted the curtain and looked out.

I saw a team of cavalrymen in military uniforms lined up in an orderly manner, with great momentum.

One of the young generals was riding on a horse, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

“That’s…” Liu opened her mouth in surprise.

Su Jinyue also leaned out, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, "Aunt, let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion first."

"Yes, yes! You are right. If the people from the military camp in the capital come out, we must not get into trouble."

Suddenly, a man from the team rode out on his horse and headed straight towards the carriage.

Soon, the horses stopped, and the young general dismounted. He stood in front of the carriage and bowed slightly, "Miss Su."

Su Jinyue's hand that was lifting the carriage curtain had not yet dropped. She was slightly startled when she saw this person, but she quickly regained her composure, "Who are you?"

"I am Wang Tiangu. I was ordered to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see Miss Su. I happen to see you again. May I invite Miss Su to have a chat?"

Hearing this, Liu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "It turned out to be General Wang. Excuse me."

"No need to be so polite." Wang Tiangu replied, but his eyes were always fixed on Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, could you please get off the carriage so that we can go together?"

She didn't know this person, and Su Jinyue looked a little hesitant.

Seeing Su Jinyue's hesitation, Wang Tiangu took out the badge on his waist and asked, "Does Miss Su look familiar?"

Seeing the words on his badge, Su Jinyue was stunned again. He is the second prince Murong Shuo's man? !

Seeing Su Jinyue recognize the badge, Wang Tiangu smiled and said, "Miss Su, can you come with us?"

Su Jinyue frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Liu said with some fear, "Nothing will happen, right?"

"No." Su Jinyue said, "Aunt, please go back to the Marquis' Mansion first and tell my grandmother and mother that I'm going to see the Second Prince."

She told Liu this directly, so that even if something happened to her, she would be able to find the source.

Su Jinyue got off the carriage, and Wang Tiangu raised his hand, "Please, Miss Su, we have prepared the carriage, and the Second Prince is waiting for you in Tianxian Tower."

Su Jinyue followed Wang Tiangu into the carriage. The journey was smooth without any problems.

Tianxianlou is one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing.

The second prince Murong Shuo had already been sitting in room number one, sipping tea.

There were several exquisite dishes on the table in the private room, and the aroma was fragrant.

Seeing Su Jinyue coming in, Murong Shuo put down the cup and said indifferently, "Sit down."

Su Jinyue sat down on the chair, "Why did the Second Prince ask me to come here today?"

Murong Shuo didn't say anything, but instead signaled the maid to serve the food.

Soon, a beautiful maid came forward with a tray on which were several jugs of wine, a few wine bowls, and two exquisite blue and white porcelain vases.

Murong Shuo took down the wine jug and filled the two wine bowls.

"Try the plum blossom snow brewed here. Although it is not as good as the nectar in the palace, it has a unique flavor."

Su Jinyue looked at the wine, a hint of doubt flashing across her eyes.

What exactly does Murong Shuo mean by doing this?

"Second Prince, you invited me here, is this not a Hongmen Banquet?"

Hearing this, Murong Shuo raised his lips and sneered, "Miss Su, do you think that a prince like me would do such a boring thing?"

Su Jinyue curled the corners of her lips, "Then why not get straight to the point."
