Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Once Liu Ye had the hairpin, she ignored her and ordered her servants to open the private treasury, where they began to move things out one by one according to the gift list.

Su's mother felt her heart bleed as she watched her belongings being moved away and packed into boxes.

Unfortunately, since these people came from the First Prince's residence and were tall, strong, and intimidating, they dared not confront them directly and could only watch helplessly.

By the time Su's father arrived, Liu Ye had almost emptied the private treasury.

When Su's mother saw Su's father arrive, it was as if she had finally found her pillar of support. She rushed over, wailing and crying, "Master, you've finally come! They..."

Su's father embraced Su's mother, who was crying with tears streaming down her face; he felt mostly remorse.

That's nearly 100,000 taels!

He hadn't even had a chance to squander so much money, and now it was going to be taken away. It was more painful than having his tendons pulled out or his skin peeled off.

Su's father was a civil official, and knowing he couldn't beat these people, he could only point at them tremblingly and curse, "Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! The eldest prince forcibly seized his father-in-law's private treasury, isn't he afraid I'll impeach him?"

Liu Ye glanced at him lightly, "Lord Su may go and report to the authorities, but let me remind you, how did you, a mere Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, accumulate such wealth?"

Su's father choked.

He knew perfectly well that this matter couldn't be brought to light, which was why he could only rage in a helpless manner. Otherwise, he would have already sent someone to the yamen to report it to the authorities. He wouldn't have tolerated these people acting so recklessly in his residence.

Seeing that he was no longer speaking, Liu Ye turned to urge everyone to speed up their work.

Boxes of gold and silver jewelry were transported to the back gate of the Su residence, where someone was there to receive them.

After emptying the private vault, it wasn't even noon yet, and Liu Ye and her group left openly through the main gate, leaving no room for error.

A few days later, Su Ziyu's fever subsided.

Taking advantage of his good spirits, Liu Ye handed the neatly organized account book to Su Ziyu.

Su Ziyu glanced through the items casually, then asked in confusion, "Why is there an extra 50,000 taels?"

Liu Ye immediately knelt down, "Young master, please forgive me. I simply couldn't stand the hypocritical behavior of Lord Su and his wife, so I took it upon myself to not only take back Miss's dowry but also rob their private treasury."

Liu Ye's idea was very simple.

He wanted to vent his anger for his young master and avenge the years of extortion they had caused him.

Su Ziyu laughed after hearing this, patted him on the shoulder to signal him to get up, and said, "Well done!"

His scumbag father and stepmother must be furious!

Others use the emperor to command the feudal lords, but these two scoundrels, instead of using their sister to command their maternal family.

Over the years, my maternal grandparents' family has received a letter from my younger sister every year.

The letters were all saying that she was doing well and that they shouldn't worry, but their spies in the capital brought completely different news.

Every time the original owner finished reading his sister's letters, he would fall ill for three days, feeling that his sister was suffering in the Su family and that he, as her brother, was powerless to save her.

Knowing full well that the Su family would embezzle, he still sent large sums of money to the Su family every year through a courier to ensure his sister's comfort. He also sent them many food and drink items.

I just hope that my scumbag father and stepmother will treat my sister better, or at least not mistreat her, for the sake of the money.

Unfortunately, this fueled their greed.

Su Zi was about to close the ledger when he instructed Liu Ye, "The 100,000 taels are not to be left untouched; they are my sister's dowry. As for the extra 50,000 taels, you should prepare a new list and present it to His Highness as a thank you gift for helping us recover the dowry."

The willow leaves responded.

Once Su Ziyu recovered, she became restless.

Unlike the original owner, who could stay in a small courtyard for more than ten years, he walked around the house a few times, but still couldn't resist asking Liu Ye to help him change his clothes, preparing to go out for a walk.

He hasn't left the courtyard since he 'married into' the prince's residence!

The prince's residence was unexpectedly large, yet also unexpectedly simple.

There were no pavilions, towers, artificial hills, or flowing water as I had imagined, nor any ornamental flowers or trees. Instead, rows of lush green pines and cypresses were planted everywhere.

This doesn't feel like a home; it's more like a... cold and austere military camp.

Su Ziyu got tired after walking for a short while.

The sight of his head adorned with jewels and the women's clothing, along with the completely identical scenery, immediately dampened his enthusiasm for sightseeing.

"Madam, His Highness's study is just ahead. Would you like to go in and take a look?" Pu Ye, the maid who led the way, blinked her eyes and offered enthusiastically.

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

A couple of days ago, I was sick, and that person was very clingy. These past two days, as my health has improved, that person has disappeared. Could it be that my identity has been exposed, and that person has noticed?

Pu Ye led the way, and the three of them soon arrived at the door of the study.

Then he was stopped at the door by two guards. "This is a restricted area of ​​the study. No one is allowed to enter."

Su Ziyu was stunned: ...

He forgot that unlike modern studies which are simply places for reading and working, ancient studies were places full of secrets.

He and Qi Jinyu weren't that close yet.

Just as Su Ziyu was about to tell Liu Ye that she wanted to go back, the little maid Pu Ye stepped forward first, "How dare you! How dare you stop the Imperial Concubine!"

She had personally witnessed how nervous His Highness was about the Imperial Consort, so she was very confident.

The two guards, however, were not convinced.

Just as Su Zi was about to turn away, not wanting to get entangled, the study door creaked open.

"Madam, please wait."

Hearing the commotion, Qi Jinyu came out from inside, her eyes filled with undisguised joy. She quickly walked over and took Su Ziyu's hand, saying, "Madam, why did you come here in person?"

Su Ziyu replied with a smile, "I'm feeling much better today, so I thought I'd come out for a walk and also to see Your Highness. I hope I haven't bothered you... perhaps..."

"Not at all, not at all."

Qi Jinyu had longed for his wife to keep him company for many years, and now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he couldn't let it slip by.

He carefully escorted her up the steps, and as they passed two oblivious guards, he said irritably, "From now on, when Madam comes to the study, there's no need to stop her."

The two guards were shocked but responded, "Yes!!"

Upon entering the room, two men, one tall and one short, bowed respectfully before the desk, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Su Ziyu then noticed that there were other people in the room. Qi Jinyu introduced two people to him, "This is my deputy general Li Mang, and this is the steward's son Wang Zhao."

Su Ziyu nodded upon hearing this, "Hello."

With Su Ziyu present, the two felt somewhat awkward and made an excuse to leave the study.

As they passed each other, the breeze from their walking reached Su Ziyu's nose, and he smelled a strange fragrance. Something flashed through his mind, but it was quickly interrupted by Qi Jinyu's tugging.

Su Ziyu was pulled to sit on Qi Jinyu's lap. The intense heat of her body instantly seeped through the fabric of her clothes. He struggled a few times in annoyance, but the other person held him too tightly.

"release."

"I won't let go. The lady has come to us with great difficulty."

Su Ziyu had no choice but to ignore him and turn to look around the study.

The study was large and spacious. Unlike ordinary people who keep many books, Qi Jinyu's study was filled with various weapons, except for a row of military books.

The most eye-catching feature is a huge cowhide map hanging on the south wall. The map depicts a landscape of mountains and rivers, with dense markings drawn in vermilion and ink.

Qi Jinyu held his hand and played with it, tentatively saying, "Madam, when we return to the frontier, I'll take you horseback riding, eating meat and drinking wine to our hearts' content, okay?!"
