Chapter 102 Yunzhou Skinny Horse
[Tell me quickly, how could Third Aunt’s dowry be lost? 】
Su Qianqian was so focused on eating the watermelon that she didn't notice that the expressions of the other people sitting in Fushou Hall were strange.
[The third old lady never cared about the money, nor did she need a personal nanny to take care of it. The deeds to the shops and farms, as well as the banknotes and valuables, had been kept in a box in the cabinet for many years.
Today, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I wanted to send some gifts to my parents' home. But when I went to get the banknotes, I found that all the banknotes and valuables in the shop were gone.
But several ladies had been to her room yesterday. If she told them that it was lost, she was afraid of causing misunderstanding. There were grudges between her sisters-in-law and nieces, so she didn't dare to say anything. 】
The system sighed.
[Do you know who did that?] Su Qianqian’s gaze moved from one person to another, but everyone she saw seemed nervous, and she didn’t know why. Could it be a gang committing the crime?
[The one who took the Third Old Lady’s dowry was the real thief, the Third Master! 】
The system directly gives the answer.
[Xiao Tong, you may have made a mistake this time. Don’t you know how much the Third Master fears the Third Aunt? How dare he take Third Aunt’s things!
And if there was any emergency, he should have explained it clearly to Third Aunt. Why did he steal? 】
Su Qianqian questioned the system for the first time.
[Are there no timid people who use knives to kill people?] It all depends on whether what you want is worth the risk. When you're horny, what ridiculous things can't you do? 】
The system disagrees.
[Sperm on the brain?] Could it be that the Third Master is...even more impossible! 】
Su Qianqian felt that this matter was too destructive to her worldview.
How is it impossible? The third master rescued a girl some time ago. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, delicate and pretty. She claimed that she had pawned her property to pay for her parents' medical treatment. Now she still owed a huge debt. If the third master hadn't rescued her, she would have been sold to a brothel to pay off the debt.
The third master couldn't bear it and wanted to take her into the mansion, but she said that according to ancestral teachings, she could not sell herself into slavery. How could she enter the mansion with an unclear identity? The third master was so impressed with the girl's character that he simply rented a courtyard for her to live in. 】
Madam Qin had a serious expression on her face. She silently scraped the foam in the tea bowl but did not take a sip for a long time.
Meng pursed her lips and lowered her eyes slightly. Su Qianqian looked at her with a little distress: Third Aunt is worried about her lost dowry.
[The Third Master only went to deliver some daily necessities at first, but as time went by, this girl became so affectionate and elegant that the Third Master naturally found it hard to resist her beauty and he couldn't control himself...]
With a "pa" sound, Madam Qin's tea bowl fell on the tea table. "It's cold. Change it."
Su Qianqian secretly tasted her own and grimaced because it was too hot: Why did grandma's cool down so quickly?
[From then on, the woman made the third master happy. Suddenly one day when the third master went away, the woman had blood on the corner of her mouth and was silently crying. After the third master asked her again and again, she said that the debt collector had found her and if she didn't pay back the debt, she would be sold to Yanyu Tower.
How could the third master just stand by and watch, so he asked about the amount, and was told that the interest was actually 30,000 taels! The third master was worried for several days, and finally decided to take a risk and steal the third old lady's dowry.
Knowing the Third Old Lady's temperament, the Third Master specially arranged for several of his wives and nieces to go to the Third Old Lady's room so that he could fish in troubled waters without leaving any trace. 】
The system explained the whole story and sighed again.
Do you know where they live? If you chase him now, maybe you can still get him back! 】
Su Qianqian thought that the third master went out in a hurry and must have just sent it over to the woman.
[So what if you know?] In what capacity are you asking for it? They live in the third house in the third alley behind Xingchunfang, a typical example of a mistress! 】
The system knows everything and doesn’t believe Su Qianqian has any solution.
"Oh, how could I have forgotten an important thing? I need to go to the shop over at Xingchunfang today to see how it is being renovated. I was so busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet that I almost got delayed."
Su Qianqian said as she stood up and was about to leave. Meng also stood up. Su Qianqian thought for a moment and looked back at Meng:
"Third Aunt, why don't you come with me? Xingchunfang is crowded, and it's not convenient for me to go alone."
Meng thought about it and nodded, lifting her skirt to follow Su Qianqian. As soon as she left the hospital, Liu also caught up with her from behind: "Qianqian, I'm bored when I'm idle, why don't I accompany you for a walk."
Su Qianqian glanced at Meng, sighed in her heart, and had no choice but to agree.
The car soon arrived at Xingchunfang, and Su Qianqian got off at the shop. She looked around, said a few casual words to the shop, and came out with a stick of scrap wood in her hand.
Liu: This is a fatal move...
"This place looks nice. The two aunts can go to the back with my niece when they have time. If there is a suitable house, we can buy one. It will be convenient for the shop assistants to live there in the future."
Su Qianqian looked back.
"That's right, let's go!" Liu took the lead, took the wooden stick from Su Qianqian's hand, and walked into the alley behind.
Su Qianqian pretended to look at the house, counted to the third alley, and then walked in to find the third house.
Meng looked at the tightly closed courtyard door in front of her and wanted to turn around and leave, but the anger was pressing against her throat and she couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
"See if anyone is here. I think this courtyard is nice. It would be great if we could sell it..."
Before Su Qianqian could finish her words, Liu had already picked up a stick in one hand and started pounding on the door.
"Who is this? Are you trying to summon souls?" came the voice of an old woman, and then the courtyard door opened a crack, revealing half of a wrinkled face.
"Who are you looking for?" the old woman asked impatiently when she didn't know the man.
"Is this yard rented or your own?" Liu asked, tapping her palm with a wooden stick.
The old woman narrowed the gap in the door a little more: "It doesn't matter if it's rented, don't disturb the owner if you don't have anything to do!"
"I'm going to go in and take a look. It looks like the owner of this yard can't live there any more."
Liu pushed the door open, causing the old woman to stagger and almost fall.
"What are you doing? Judging from your clothes, you look like a rich lady, why are you acting like a robber?"
The old woman also got angry.
[The woman was in the backyard, she was feeling grateful and guilty towards the Third Master. It was no wonder that the Third Master fell into his trap. This was Yunzhou's top-notch skinny horse, it was easy to use it to deal with playboys, not to mention the Third Master, who was a rookie and had no experience in the world. This was definitely a big shot in the hand! 】
The system got closer to the woman and learned more information.
[The Yunzhou skinny horse was raised with a lot of money. How could it be entrusted to the third master for a mere thirty thousand taels? I'm afraid there is someone plotting behind this. 】
Su Qianqian sneered in her heart, the person behind the scenes was really omnipresent.
As they were talking, the three of them had already walked in. Outside the second gate, under a locust tree, the third master's horse was tied. Su Qianqian didn't recognize it, but Liu and Meng were horse riders, so how could they not recognize it?
"Why is my uncle's horse tied here?" Liu said deliberately.
Meng's face was as gloomy as water. At this moment, there was no need to hide it anymore. She smiled with her lips raised, her eyes dimmed slightly under her thick eyebrows, and strode towards the backyard...
