"How can this be a threat?"

Hu Niang's expression changed, and she said happily, "I just came to remind Madam Su that I haven't had an easy time these past few years."

"Mrs. Su must give me some compensation."

"It's just a small matter that costs a little money. If you insist on being greedy, it will end up in a situation where both parties suffer losses, which is not good."

Such shameless behavior angered Aunt Liu.

Although she was a concubine of the Su family, she had been arrogant and domineering for many years, and no one dared to threaten her.

"Someone..." she ordered, "Catch her."

Several guards rushed out of the mansion and surrounded Hu Niang.

Despite this situation, Hu Niang stood still without a trace of panic.

Instead, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Su, do you think I came here alone?"

Her expression also changed. "To be honest, regarding what happened back then, I wrote a confession in advance, listing all of Madam Su's crimes."

"If I disappear for no reason, the complaint will be submitted to the government within three days."

"If we want to die, let's die together."

"Anyway, I'm just a peasant woman in the countryside. I've had a hard life. If I die, I die. I have no regrets."

"Mrs. Su is different. She is the concubine of the Su family and lives a life of luxury."

"Madam Su, are you really tired of such a carefree and happy life?"

After hearing what Hu Niang said, Aunt Liu hesitated.

Tomorrow is the flower viewing banquet, which is related to my daughter's future.

If she is ruined by the interference of a vicious woman, it will be a loss for her.

Taking a deep breath, Aunt Liu suppressed the anger in her heart and waved her hand, "You guys go down first."

The guards retreated and returned to the Su Mansion.

Aunt Liu took a few steps towards Hu Niang and said, "Hu Niang, I'm not afraid of you."

She said coldly, "We are both from Tianxin Village, so we are somewhat related. Don't be too extreme."

"That's right!" Hu Niang laughed and said, "Leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future."

"Tell me." Aunt Liu said, "How much silver do you need?"

Hu Niang smiled brightly, "The Su family is so wealthy and powerful. If I say less, how can I justify coming all the way here?"

She said, holding up two fingers.

When Aunt Liu saw it, she felt contempt in her heart.

As expected of a woman from the countryside, no matter how big her ambition is, it's only this.

"Come here, go and get twenty taels of silver," she ordered.

Upon hearing this, the maid beside her took out some silver from her purse and handed it to Hu Niang.

Hu Niang shook the silver in her hands and laughed, "Madam Su, twenty taels of silver, are you sending away a beggar?"

Twenty taels of silver is indeed a rare sum of money on ordinary days.

But these are not ordinary days.

She came all the way here, and she absolutely could not let Liu Xianglan go just for this little bit of money.

For such a wealthy family, twenty taels of silver are nothing.

Two hundred taels of silver may just be the money for a sumptuous meal.

Since she came to ask for money, she asked for enough at once.

Hu Niang shook her head. "This little bit of silver isn't enough for me to take the risk and come look for you?"

"Then how much do you want?" Aunt Liu's face was unhappy. "If it's not twenty taels, is it two hundred taels?"

Hu Niang shook her head. "Two hundred taels is not worthy of Madam Su's status at all."

"What did you say?" Aunt Liu's face turned completely dark. "How much do you want?"

"Two thousand taels." Hu Niang spoke, and the words landed on the ground with a loud sound.

"You're crazy!" Aunt Liu angrily refused, "Impossible."

"Don't speak so early." Hu Niang was not annoyed. She glanced around and said, "We are on the street, in front of the Su Mansion. You said I should shout and tell you everything that happened before."

"Madam Su, can you still sit in the position of Madam Su with peace of mind?"

"You..." Aunt Liu's cheeks turned red with anger.

"Don't feel bad."

Hu Niang said hypocritically, "Two thousand taels of silver in exchange for Madam Su's lifelong wealth and glory, do you think it's worth it?"

"I don't have that much money."

Aunt Liu said angrily: "You think the Su Mansion is a mountain of gold and silver, how can you take out so much silver at once?"

The Su family's current account balance only has a few thousand taels of silver.

How could they conceal the fact that so much money was given out at once?

Besides, why should we give this bitch so much money?

"The matter of finding the silver is Madam Su's business."

"If there's no money, Madam Su will definitely have a way."

Hu Niang said, "Half an hour, I will only wait for you for half an hour."

"If you can't come up with the silver, then we'll both die together."

As she spoke, she straightened her messy hair and said with a smile, "Don't have any bad ideas in private."

"I wrote more than one copy of my confession and Mrs. Su's indictment. They're not kept in just one place either."

Hu Niang said with a playful smile, "Madam Su, don't think that the things in my hands are groundless and can't cause any waves."

"Then you underestimate me."

"I have kept all the physical and witness evidence from those years."

"Once I die, I will appear in all the major restaurants and teahouses, becoming the topic of conversation after dinner."

"If you have bad intentions and want me to disappear, then you should think about it and see if you can bear it."

Hu Niang put the silver into the purse at her waist and said with a giggle, "Madam Su, you must think carefully and don't do anything that you will regret later."

Aunt Liu stood there, shaking with anger.

However, there were people coming and going on the street, and for a moment, she was hesitant and did not dare to act out on the spot.

"Wait in the back street. Don't let anyone see you."

"Half an hour, an extra quarter of an hour, and you get an extra ounce of silver."

"you……"

"I have protected Madam Su for twenty years. I am your benefactor!"

Aunt Liu was speechless.

After returning to the Su Mansion, he called over the housekeeper Zhang and took out the account book to take a look.

Over the years, she has been in charge of the household affairs, which is not an easy task.

The shops and farms outside the mansion have not had any corresponding income in recent years.

In the past two years, some stores have even run into deficits.

The Su family's finances are in deficit.

These years, thanks to Lin's dowry.

Some of them were sold to fill the vacancies in the Su Mansion.

Now, Lin's dowry has been returned and eight thousand taels of silver have been paid as compensation.

In order to allow Jiaojiao to attend tomorrow's flower-viewing banquet, more than ten thousand taels of silver were spent on purchasing the necessary clothes and jewelry.

Looking at the account again, there was a total of four thousand taels of silver left.

This is the little cash left in the Su family.

Asking her to give Hu Niang two thousand taels of silver at once was like cutting her flesh, it was extremely painful.

But if we don't give Hu Niang the money, if the matter gets out, she will be completely ruined.

Damn!

At the beginning, she shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and should have killed her directly.

We can avoid future troubles and avoid the passive situation we are in now.

The past few days have been crucial for both her and Jiaojiao.

There must be absolutely no mistakes.
