Seeing that Zhu Biao hadn't come to her rescue, Hu Sanniang must have been heartbroken and disappointed. Presumably, she married the ugly and lewd Wang Ying in order to save her life.
At this moment, Zhu Biao's behavior further proves that he will not give up his own interests for Hu Sanniang.
Poor Hu Sanniang was merely a sacrifice offered up by Hu Taigong to curry favor with the Zhu Family Village through marriage!
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
Hu Cheng roared repeatedly, as if accusing Li Huan, or scolding the Zhu family father and son.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Cheng reluctantly jumped off his horse and clasped his hands in a salute to Li Huan.

Zhuang Bing immediately led his horse, preparing to leave.
Clang!
A wooden box fell out of the carriage, and the lid opened.
Zhu Biao stared in disbelief, "The...the silver is gone..."
The wooden box was empty.
Zhu Chaofeng was shocked and hurriedly went to the carriage, quickly opening the other wooden boxes.
Thirteen thousand taels of silver have vanished without a trace!
