Shengjing Noble

After this period of hard work, Lu Wanjun has gradually seen through the ungrateful nature of the Su family, including the siblings Su Lanxin and Su Shenghao, neither of whom are good people.

So she was certain that her mother would never give her money.

……

Hongxiu returned to the Su family and first went to Mingzhu Pavilion. Liu Ruyan was worried about the expenses of the mansion.

Recently, the old lady's expenses alone have exceeded her budget. In addition, Su Yongcheng's salary has been suspended. Almost everyone in the mansion, except Sui Yuexuan, eats and drinks at her expense.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have taken on this hot potato!

She was so angry!

Looking at the dwindling amount on the dowry list, she trembled with heartache.

"No, if you keep going like this, I'll get stuck in."

She was thinking with a worried face about how to return the power of housekeeper to Lu Wanjun, but she had tried too many times in these days and was rejected mercilessly.

This Lu Wanjun is determined not to subsidize the Su family anymore.

But why does she post it?

In the final analysis, it was all because of that bitch Lu Wanjun who took such good care of the Su family that the expenses in the mansion were huge.

Thinking of this, she decided to continue cutting spending!

Just when I was having a headache, I saw Hongxiu walked in dressed in men's clothes and kneeled on the ground.

"Madam, the girl..."

When the words came to her lips, how could she dare to say that Su Lanxin was visiting a brothel?

If Liu Ruyan knew about this, she would probably severely punish this little maid for not taking good care of the girl.

When the master makes a mistake, it is the inferior people like them who suffer.

Thinking of this, she decisively changed her words: "The young lady liked a few pieces of jewelry and clothes outside, but she didn't bring enough silver, so she asked me to come back to get them."

There was a flash of impatience in Liu Ruyan's eyes, and she thought to herself, it's such a late hour and he's still going out to spend money recklessly.

But when I thought about the injustice my daughter suffered some time ago, it was only right to buy her something to comfort her.

So he nodded, endured the pain and asked: "How much silver?"

"one……"

Before Hongxiu finished speaking, Liu Ruyan sighed helplessly, "One hundred taels, right? I'll ask the private vault to take it."

"No..." Hongxiu swallowed and said fearfully, "It's one thousand taels."

"What!" Liu Ruyan stood up from the chair, her face full of anger, "She's crazy, buying jewelry worth one thousand taels? Let her come back immediately!"

Hong Xiu explained timidly, "With so many people watching, if I leave in disgrace, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at and my reputation will be damaged."

"But……"

Liu Ruyan was so angry that she fell into the chair, stroking her forehead with exhaustion.

"One thousand taels, she really dares to buy it!"

Hong Xiu muttered softly, "When Aunt Lu was the housekeeper, the jewelry Fifth Miss bought was worth thousands of taels of silver. We are really used to it. Madam, please don't be angry. I will ask Miss to choose fewer pieces."

When Liu Ruyan heard this, her eyes lit up: "Oh, right, go to Suiyuexuan to find Lu Wanjun and ask her to pay. A few thousand taels of silver is nothing to her."

"But Aunt Lu..."

Things are different now. If it were in the past, Lu Wanjun would definitely pay the money, but recently, the housekeeper's power is no longer hers. How could she possibly pay?

Even the servants saw clearly that Lu Wanjun wanted to completely break away from the Su family, and the first step was money.

She probably won't subsidize the Su family anymore.

Although Hongxiu didn't hold out much hope, she still sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Then withdrew.

She came to Suiyuexuan with a reluctant look on her face, having already prepared her words along the way.

But she never expected that Lu Wanjun would not even see her.

In the end, Hongxiu could only return to Guose Tianxiang empty-handed.

At this time, Su Lanxin was already slightly drunk with women around her, talking nonsense.

Su Lanyin sat next door, quietly sipping tea, just patiently waiting for tonight's male protagonist to appear.

Seeing that she looked indifferent and silent, the girl Yan'er beside her did not dare to say much and could only serve tea and water silently.

In her previous life, Su Lanxin received three thousand taels from Lu Wanjun and directly said, "Today's consumption, I will pay for it!"

Such a generous and magnanimous act attracted the attention of many distinguished guests in the National Beauty and Heaven Hotel.

It was also through this opportunity that she got to know many nobles.

Because the boss behind Guose Tianxiang is the crown prince of the current dynasty, those who can come here to spend money are naturally not ordinary people.

Now the world is experiencing a period of frequent famines, the treasury is empty, and the prince's position is unstable. A large amount of silver is needed to support him in disaster relief and meritorious service.

Su Lanxin's move directly attracted the prince's attention, and he actually took the initiative to make acquaintance with him.

Later, the two developed from brothers to an ambiguous relationship.

After a series of processes in which she ran away and he chased her, she couldn't escape even if she tried, and the two finally confirmed their relationship.

In order to help the prince consolidate his position, Su Lanxin persuaded Lu Wanjun to donate money for disaster relief.

But in the end, when it came time to reward people for their contributions, the credit was given to Su Lanxin, and she even took the opportunity to ask for the title of Lady for Liu Ruyan.

This incident hit Lu Wanjun hard. She felt that her adopted daughter, whom she treated sincerely, had turned out to be so ungrateful.

She wanted to argue, but was oppressed by the prince's power. She was drugged and thrown into a strange man's bed, and eventually drowned in a pig cage.

It was clearly she who paid for disaster relief, but in the end she was regarded as a shameless whore by the people. She deserved to be put to death and was not even entitled to have her body intact.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin's heart was filled with hatred.

In this life, without Lu Wanjun's three thousand taels, let's see how she makes connections and how she wins the favor of the prince!

Just as I was thinking about it, Hongxiu came back.

She walked over and whispered something in Su Lanxin's ear.

The next moment, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and even the smiling girls became silent.

It seemed as if they had seen guests who dine and fly, so the master and servant's faces changed and the group of girls immediately became alert.

Aunt Hua was called in.

She got straight to the point: "Sir, your servant is back. Isn't it time to give the money?"

Su Lanxin swallowed her saliva. She had never felt so embarrassed before.

Her scalp tingled, and she wondered how come the Su family didn't even have one thousand taels?

It's obviously such a big yard, and her clothes are very expensive, she shouldn't be so poor that she doesn't have even a thousand taels!

How to do how to do……

Su Lanxin was sweating with anxiety. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed out the window and shouted, "Look! A flying saucer!"

As expected, everyone's attention was drawn and they all looked out the window.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Lanxin actually fled out alone, leaving Hongxiu there.

Aunt Hua was furious and shouted, "Detain this dog slave, and the rest of you go chase him after me!"

"Yes!"

Hongxiu was pressed to the ground, crying for help, trembling with fear, her eyes full of despair.

She had advised Su Lanxin not to come in, but why was she left behind in the end?
