Chapter 229 Bring the Banknotes
Su Yunrou hurried into Rong'an Hall. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Old Kang's instructions:
"Go and call Liu over, and bring 10,000 taels of silver."
"Yes! I will go and invite the Madam right away."
Nanny Xu hurried out, sighing in her heart: What is going on?
As soon as I came out, I saw Su Yunrou, but why were Su Yunrou's eyes red?
"Madam Xu, is Fourth Sister saying bad things about me to Grandmother Kang?" Su Yunrou asked aggrievedly.
What could Aunt Xu say? She could only glance inside the room and said, "Second Miss, please go in. If there are any misunderstandings, please resolve them quickly."
Su Yunrou knew what was going on and immediately walked into the house.
Nanny Xu still went to find the eldest lady as instructed.
Inside the house, Su Qingwan was already sitting aside drinking tea and eating snacks. There was no sign of emotion on her face. She just snorted coldly when she saw Su Yunrou come in.
Old Kang's face was not very good, but thinking that Su Yunrou was about to become the daughter-in-law of the royal family, she put away her unhappy expression and said:
"You're here too! Sit down and wait until your mother comes over."
Su Yunrou sat obediently next to Su Qingwan, calmed herself down, and said:
"Fourth sister, these are all fabricated stories. Why did you bring them to Grandma's place and disturb her peace for no reason?"
Su Qingwan put down the teacup, her expression indifferent: "Is that so? It's okay if you don't go to find Grandma Kang. I'll go to find Grandma Auntie then."
As she spoke, she stood up and was about to go out.
This made Old Kang anxious, and she immediately said, "Fourth girl, sit down. Was all the words I just said to you in vain?"
Su Qingwan sat down again in embarrassment, but the expression on her face made Old Kang furious. However, he couldn't get angry at Su Qingwan, so he could only complain to Su Yunrou:
"What do you want her to do? Just sit there."
Su Yunrou could only sit there, but she was extremely unhappy in her heart.
Is grandma going to protect that bitch Su Qingwan?
The old man must be too confused to tell who is his granddaughter.
After waiting for a while, Liu came in, but her face was full of anger. When she saw Su Qingwan, she instantly exploded like a lit firecracker.
"You are such a shallow-minded person, why should I pay you ten thousand taels? You are really blind!"
How could Liu have so much money now? If he wanted to get more money, he could only use the things he had saved outside.
However, once those things are taken out, they will inevitably arouse Old Kang’s vigilance, and then he will be in trouble.
"Grandma Kang, I said that my aunt was unwilling to pay money to settle the matter, but you insisted that I give her a chance. Now you see it."
Su Qingwan originally went there with the intention of watching a good show, but she didn't expect Zhang Jueping to hand the handle to her.
Although there is no substantial evidence for this matter, if it were to spread, it would also affect Su Yunrou's reputation.
So she knew that Mr. Kang would definitely be willing to pay money to let her keep quiet. After all, Mr. Kang didn't have to pay the money.
Liu then looked at old Kang, only to find that the old lady's face was so gloomy that it looked as if it was about to rain.
"Liu, I already know what you and your daughter are planning on the small farm. In order not to make the fourth girl sad, you should give her 10,000 taels of silver as compensation, and the matter will be over. If you don't want to, it's okay. I will have someone send you to Prince Yi's mansion, and you can explain to the old princess."
Old Kang said directly.
In fact, he felt bad, but after waiting for so many years, the old bastards were still not dead. What could she do?
Liu was speechless for a moment, but she was unwilling to spend money for no reason.
At this time, Su Yunrou started crying, "Mom, my cousin from the Zhang family came to see me today. He told my fourth sister nonsense, and my fourth sister believed it. No matter how I explained, she wouldn't listen..."
Hurrah!
It turned out to be Zhang Jueping's doing. Needless to say, it must have been the idea of the Liu family.
She is holding a grudge against herself and doesn't want to make life easy for herself!
I can't pay for this myself, absolutely not! I have to ask Mrs. Liu to pay at least 30,000 taels!
"This is such an injustice. How can you wrongly accuse someone of something that never happened?" Liu howled.
Old Kang watched her performance with a cold face. Was she being wronged? Did it matter now?
If the old couple in the palace got wind of this, Liu wouldn't have to pay any money, and she might even lose her life.
Madam Xu knew that there were some things that the old lady was not comfortable saying, so she had to say them herself:
"Madam, this is for your own good. Do you think the young master can withstand the harassment from the palace?"
Liu instantly fell silent, like a chicken with its neck pinched.
"I don't have that much silver." Liu whispered.
"Use something as collateral. When you have money, you can redeem it later." Su Qingwan said generously.
Liu felt very depressed. It was such an injustice!
Su Yunrou was also extremely angry. Why should her mother's things be given to Su Qingwan?
But there was no use in being resentful, so Liu asked Nanny Zhou to go back and get the things.
"This was originally meant for Yun Rou. I'll leave it with you for now. I'll redeem it when I have enough silver."
Liu gave the thing to Su Qingwan, who took it out and looked at it immediately. It was an exquisitely crafted dressing box, made of huanghuali wood, with a pattern of rich peony inlaid with colorful shells on the front.
After the box was opened, a complete set of headpieces with gold wire and gemstones was found inside. It was indeed a good thing.
When Su Yunrou saw this thing, her eyes immediately turned red. This should belong to her, so why was it given to Su Qingwan?
Even if she redeems it later, how can she wear it?
From now on, whenever she thought of the humiliation she suffered today, she would feel only pain.
"This thing looks okay, right? I'll take it. When my aunt has money, I'll exchange it for it. After all, it was originally meant for my second sister, and it would be a shame if I took it away!"
While saying this, Su Qingwan directly handed the box to Zhenzhu to hold, with a big smile on her face.
Today is such a pleasant surprise!
Su Qingwan was in a good mood. After exchanging a few words with Mr. Kang, she left happily with her things.
As soon as she left, Liu couldn't help but scold her, which made old Kang frown.
"Shut up! You've done something stupid and brought this upon yourself, and you still have the nerve to blame others. You and your daughter should leave now. It's giving me a headache just to watch you."
Old Mrs. Kang was too lazy to listen to Mrs. Jiang and just chased her away.
After Liu's mother and daughter left Rong'an Hall, both of them were in a bad mood.
Su Yunrou told Liu about Zhang Jueping's visit to her today. Liu was so angry that her eyes turned red. This matter couldn't just be let go like this.
She had to go to the Zhang family and ask them to return the money.
If it were in the past, Liu would still be concerned about her natal family, but now she has long since broken up with her natal family and she can't count on them at all. In this case, there is nothing she can't do.
