Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Su Tong did not refuse, because he also wanted to pass some news to the capital through his mother-in-law, so he made the house dusty, but the guest's house was not particularly exquisite, and was even filled with various valuable items.

The one who came to visit him was his mother-in-law's eldest son, the third son of a concubine. He didn't like reading on weekdays. He loved cockfighting and walking the dog the most. The key was that he also loved studying.

When the original owner's wife was still alive, the original owner would send 30,000 taels of silver to the capital every year. Now that the original owner's wife has passed away, it is impossible for Su Tong to give the money to the murderer who murdered his daughter, so he just pretends to know nothing. This is why they are so anxious.

Naturally, they would be anxious because their wallets were gone, and they were still relying on the money to live.

This nephew was respected as Mu Sanlang. He was also a handsome man, but when he looked at people, there was a hint of evil in his eyes.

Su Tong coughed twice and said weakly, "You have come all this way, it must be hard. I have asked the housekeeper to prepare food. Come in and have a rest."

Mu Changan bowed respectfully and called him "uncle" in a friendly manner. When they arrived at the place, the Su Mansion was still the same Su Mansion, but there was always a sense of desolation hidden in the corners.

After Mu Changan entered the courtyard that was specially set up to entertain him, he discovered that the furnishings in his courtyard were out of tune with the things in his uncle's house. These things were too new. It's not that new things are bad. Generally, people with a rich background will take out old valuables to show their family's origins.

But these things are all new. Even if they are carefully kept, there will always be some scratches on them over time. But this thing looks like it was just bought. It is obviously as new as it can be. I guess my uncle bought me so many ornaments because he saw me as the one who bought it.

In fact, Mu Changan didn't believe that the Su family would fall like this. You have to know that when his aunt was still alive, in addition to sending a sum of money to the capital every year, the four festivals and six ceremonies were never missed. The gifts were either valuable or novel. Not only could they keep them for themselves, they could even give them to others. Anyway, it was very face-saving.

But ever since my aunt passed away, the family's conditions have been getting worse day by day. The bird's nests that we used to eat are no longer available, and even the fine silk that we used to wear is no longer available. In the end, the family even began to spend more than they earned.

The old man in the family was quite resentful about this. After all, they had been used to a good life, so who would want to live a hard life? They also felt that the son-in-law was ignorant. They married their daughter to the son-in-law just to have him help the family. Now that their daughter had passed away, the son-in-law turned his back on her. It was too cold.

The old ancestor is too embarrassed to ask you for money, so he plans to take his granddaughter over. He has a ready-made excuse, using the help of every woman in his son-in-law's family as an excuse, and wants to educate his granddaughter well. Of course, if he can let his granddaughter marry a grandson, it would be equivalent to getting a large sum of money, which can be considered as keeping the wealth within the family.

Originally, the old ancestor's plan was quite good, but his uncle refused to send his daughter over. Not only that, he heard that his uncle's business also had some problems. The old ancestor was afraid that the fat meat in his mouth would be gone, so he quickly sent himself to take a look so that he could take drastic measures if necessary.

Although Mu Changan had a lot of vision, he felt a little panicked after seeing all this. Although his uncle still lived a wealthy life, the old people who had served him before were gone, and now there were many unfamiliar faces, and their clothes were not as luxurious as before.

Mu Changan observed many problems from the details, but he couldn't believe this fact. After paying his respects to his uncle, he went to visit his niece.

My little niece is only three years old this year. She is as soft as a glutinous rice dumpling, smiles sweetly, and greets me respectfully.

Mu Changan took a special look at the child's clothes and found that most of them were made of fine cotton cloth, and the accessories he wore were also ordinary. The only special thing was probably a piece of ancient jade, but this should be something passed down from the Su family.

Mu Changan observed the furnishings in his niece's room again. They were extremely simple and pure. Compared with the things in his own room, there was a world of difference.

Mu Changan already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't rush to draw conclusions. His son found an opportunity, sneaked to the street, and went to his uncle's former shop. He found that even the shopkeeper had been replaced, and everything was a foregone conclusion.

Although Mu Chang'an looked a little unhappy, he at least maintained the composure of a wealthy family. Besides, Su Tong, his uncle, was really a good person. He sent a lot of things. Although they were far worse than before, at least he could have an explanation when he returned.

You ask why he didn't take his niece away this time? If her father was a well-known rich man, he would definitely take her away. After all, having this child is like having a goose that lays golden eggs.

But my uncle can hardly take care of himself now. Although he is rich, this little money is nothing to the wealthy families. They don't care about it, so they don't want to get involved in this dirty trouble.

Although my niece is my aunt's only daughter, my grandmother has several other children, and my aunt is the least favored and most dull one among them. If it weren't for my uncle's potential and his wealthy family, they would not have decided to marry my aunt to him.

Moreover, in just a few short years, they had made at least 20 taels of silver from this marriage. Originally, this amount of money was enough for their family to live a good life in the capital, but unfortunately, the Mu family had too many people, and with such a large fortune, there were too many places to spend money, so they had not saved any money over the years.

Su Tong did not let the other party come in vain, and gave him a red envelope. However, the total amount was only 100 taels of silver. Compared with the thousands of taels of silver he had received before, this amount of money just showed that their Su family had begun to lose.

After Mu Changan returned, he told everything he had observed. The defeat of the Su family was a foregone conclusion. First, several cargo ships were burned, and then they were let down by their own family. He looked extremely weak and it was obvious that he would not live long. He would probably have to be taken care of in the future.

Madam Mu drooped her eyes, "We are all relatives. If your uncle's family really fails, we can take in your niece. But what is that child like? Does she look like your aunt?"

Mu Changan raised his eyes cautiously, "She looks 60% like my aunt, and 40% like my uncle. She is a rare beauty. When she grows up, she won't be stunningly beautiful, but she will be extremely outstanding."

As soon as the words fell, everyone understood what he meant. Taking in an orphan girl with outstanding looks could be used to send her out to establish a relationship with other people. She would be helpless anyway, and even if she died in there, at most it would be because she had a bad fate.
