Seeing that she refused to speak, the old lady frowned slightly on her wrinkled face and asked directly with sharp eyes:

"Did you already know about the warehouse?"

Su Yuejian nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes."

The old lady stared at her with sharp eyes and continued to ask:

"Is it Qiao's?"

Su Yuejian raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised by the old lady's sharpness, but she nodded and replied, "Yes."

She paused, then said slowly:

"Accountant Sun was also involved in corruption, but Qiao was an accomplice, but I had no proof. I knew I couldn't arbitrarily accuse someone without evidence, otherwise it would ruin the family's reputation. I could only find a way to get them to return the money, so I offered to open the treasury. I didn't expect Accountant Sun to commit suicide by taking poison."

After hearing this, the old lady's face, which was already a little sallow, turned red with anger, as if blood was about to drip out. She couldn't catch her breath and began to cough violently.

When Su Yue saw this, her heart suddenly tightened. She was so scared that she quickly stood up and hurriedly handed the old lady a glass of water, muttering to herself:

"Grandma, please drink some water and calm down."

“Ahem…” the old lady said angrily, “She’s so brave!”

Su Yuejian gently patted the old lady's back to help her calm down.

After the old lady calmed down, she took her hand lovingly, helped her sit down, and said softly:

"Good boy, you are such a good boy. You did a good job. Grandma was right about you."

She knew from Su Yuejian's behavior since she was a child that she was smart and decisive.

Even if people in the mansion later said that she was stupid, she never believed it. This was the girl she had raised, and she knew her character very well.

She knew Su Yuejian was just trying to maintain family harmony, so she was tolerant. Now that she was in charge of the household, she had gradually regained her lively nature.

The old lady felt both relieved and sad. She was relieved that her Yue'er was so capable, but she also felt sorry for her having suffered so much grievance.

"It's hard for you. It's not easy to clean this house inside and out."

Su Yuejian knew that her grandmother's words were more than just literal meaning. She shook her head slightly and smiled:

"It's not bitter. Yue'er thinks it's very fun."

"Good." Grandma patted her hands.

"Then have fun. Don't worry about those nonsense about raising a daughter or not. Just have fun boldly. If anything goes wrong, grandma will cover you up."

Su Yuejian was deeply moved. She hugged the old lady's arm like she did when she was a child and said coquettishly:

"Thank you, Grandma. Yue'er obeys your command!"

Yuntingyuan

Mrs. Qiao sat on the exquisite carved chair, feeling relieved. Her slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes narrowed. She had to persuade someone to get some of her belongings back from the pawnshop.

Now the matter has finally been settled.

Accountant Sun is dead and there is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing, so Su Yue probably has no way to investigate the matter when she met that little bitch.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly with a hint of pride, and she immediately relaxed and drank tea leisurely.

Su Xuewei sat next to him with a frown on her face.

Qiao looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong with Wei'er?"

Su Xuewei dismissed the servants and took Qiao to the inner room.

"Mom, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I've got a lot of rashes."

Su Xuewei lifted up her arms, and her originally snow-white skin was now densely covered with small red rashes.

Mrs. Qiao was also startled when she saw this, and frowned, "Have you been exposed to anything recently?"

Su Xuewei shook her head. Her eating, dressing, and traveling were all the same as usual.

Mrs. Qiao's brows relaxed slightly as she soothed him, "Maybe Chunri is allergic to some pollen. I'll have a doctor come and see you tomorrow."

Su Xuewei nodded with some concern.

The two did not investigate further.

After Accountant Sun committed suicide, the servants in the mansion were very happy. Many of them were always bullied by him, and the servants who did not get their wages were very happy and cursed Accountant Sun for being such a heartless person.

Su Yuejian carefully checked and reorganized the accounts for several days.

First, I used the incident with Accountant Sun to warn all the servants in the mansion. If such behavior occurs again, they will be severely punished!

The wages that had been owed by Accountant Sun were also paid out one by one.

The servants who received their wages were extremely grateful to Su Yuejian, and everyone respected her even more.

The old lady and Mr. Su were very pleased when they heard about her actions, and they both showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

Qiao was angry but she could only swallow her anger.

However, both Wu's mother and daughter couldn't stand her behavior. They felt that she was taking advantage of the power of others and were full of disdain.

Time flies.

Grain Rain passed in a flash, and in a few days it would be the old lady's birthday banquet. Everything was being organized in an orderly manner. With Qinglan and Xu Bo helping out, Su Yuejian saved a lot of energy.

That day, the eldest princess sent someone to tell Su Yuejian that the clothes made of Liuguangjin that she had customized at Jinxiufang had been cut, and she invited Su Yuejian to go with her to try them on.

She and the eldest princess haven't seen each other since they last parted at Jinxiufang.

Su Yuejian remembered the last time she asked her for a favor and her brother’s refusal before she told him.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried. The job of a matchmaker is really not easy.

Su Yuejian called the maid to change her clothes and dress up again, then went out to Jinxiufang.

It was the same familiar private room from last time.

Xiao Ningyao was pacing back and forth in the room, her delicate face full of anxiety. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.

Before Su Yuejian could even greet her, he hurriedly pulled her in.

Yaocai and Yuzhu retreated and closed the door.

Xiao Ningyao looked at her expectantly and asked softly, "How is it? Did he take the sachet?"

Seeing her like this, Su Yue pursed her lips slightly and shook her head in pain.

He took out the sachet from his arms and handed it to her.

Xiao Ningyao looked at the sachet, her smile paused for a moment, and her eyes, which had been shining with light, dimmed for a moment and disappeared in a flash.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, I knew it would be like this. Thank you, Yue'er."

Su Yuejian felt even more distressed when she saw her like this. In her eyes, the eldest princess had always been so enthusiastic and lively, like the warm sunshine in spring.

"My brother is a blockhead."

"Princess you..."

Before Su Yuejian could finish comforting her, Xiao Ningyao immediately regained her bright smile, without any trace of her previous disappointment.

He said with high morale, "It doesn't matter, I won't give up so easily!"

"I will make him like me!"

Su Yue was stunned, and blinked her beautiful eyes, not knowing what to say.

I just think the eldest princess is so cute the way she pursues love confidently.

Xiao Ningyao saw her in a daze, thinking she was still worried about this matter, and said,

"Don't worry, Yue'er. I really like your personality and want to be friends with you. Even if Brother Yanzhou didn't exist, I would treat you the same."

Su Yuejian nodded and smiled gently, "Me too."

The two smiled at each other.

The new clothes fit her perfectly, and Yuzhu put them away.

Su Yuejian thanked the eldest princess again.

The two agreed to meet again at the Su Mansion in new clothes on the day of their grandmother's birthday party.

Seeing the eldest princess's confident look, Su Yuejian returned home with peace of mind.

On the way back to Wutongju, Yuzhu and Yinxin kept praising the flowing brocade dress for being so beautiful, gorgeous yet elegant. The lady would surely amaze everyone when she wore it at the birthday party tomorrow.

Su Yuejian smiled but said nothing.

Su Xiaoshi, standing in the corridor in the distance, looked at the exquisite clothes in Yuzhu's hands. Her jealous eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, and her eyeballs were about to pop out.

He recalled the humiliation he had suffered that day, and stared at the three men's receding backs with a poisonous gaze.

Tomorrow is the birthday banquet. Su Yuejian and Qinglan Xu Bo confirmed again and again that everything was correct before they went to sleep peacefully.
