Hearing this, Li Jiaojiao became even more anxious. If she got married, she would have even less of a chance.
The thought of losing ten thousand taels of silver was too much for Li Jiaojiao to bear.
Li Jiaojiao's eyes darted around: "Mother... I'll be in charge of the estate when I get to the Ningguo Marquis's manor, right? I've never even seen what a land deed looks like..."
“That’s easy, Granny Yu. Bring out the shop deed and land deed.”
"Yes." Granny Yu was about to turn around.
Li Jiaojiao said urgently, "I'll go get it..."
Granny Yu coldly replied, "No need. Leave this to this old servant."
"Does Granny still dislike me that much?" Li Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, pouting her little mouth in grievance. "Can't I touch this key?"
Granny Yu's face darkened.

He looked like he didn't care.
Granny Yu had a dark expression throughout.
...
Liu Xiawei has been so anxious these past few days that he's been on edge.
The money lender was pressing him for repayment, and he tried to contact the Duchess of Pingguo several times, but she chased him away each time.
He wanted to steal the land deeds and shop deeds, but he couldn't get in.
In the morning, someone from Deli Money Shop quietly told him that there was a box embedded in the wall behind the bedside table of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion, and the deed should be placed there.
Liu Xiawei was overjoyed but also at a loss. What good was knowing the location? He didn't have the key!
If we break the lock, wouldn't that just attract everyone here?
