Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Aunt Liu thought about it for a while, gritted her teeth and took out two thousand taels of silver.

As long as that person takes the banknote and walks away.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.

You can save the money slowly in the future.

Aunt Liu advised herself many times in her heart, but finally put the banknote into her sleeve.

After leaving the Su Mansion and entering the alley nearby, they saw Hu Niang. She said coldly, "Remember your words. Take the silver and leave quickly. Keep your promise."

Hu Niang held out her hand, "Give me the banknotes first. Don't try to play tricks on me."

Aunt Liu took out the banknotes and threw them in Hu Niang's face. "Take the money and get out of here as far as you can. We will never see each other again in this life."

Hu Niang hurriedly bent down, picked up the banknotes one by one, and examined them carefully.

It’s a real banknote.

She counted them one by one, and she felt so happy that she almost flew to the sky.

Living to her current age, she never thought that she would see so much silver in her lifetime.

Do not!

Not just seeing.

But having so much silver.

She collected the banknotes one by one and stuffed them into her clothes, promising repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will stay away. I will definitely not come to see you."

Satisfied, Hu Niang came closer and whispered, "Miss Liu, I guarantee that your two thousand taels of silver are worth it."

After saying this, Hu Niang turned around, twisted her waist, and walked away happily.

Madam Liu called over a trusted servant and said, "Follow her and make sure she leaves the capital."

"Yes."

At the dinner table, Su Tinggui was eating when he suddenly said, "Madam Liu, please withdraw two thousand taels of silver from the account in the mansion. I will need it in a couple of days!"

what?

Two thousand taels of silver?

Aunt Liu, whose soul was wandering, was so frightened when she heard Su Tinggui's words that her hands trembled and her chopsticks fell on the table with a crisp sound, attracting everyone's attention.

Madam Qian glanced at her and said, "Why? It's just two thousand taels of silver, why are you so frightened?"

"no no!"

Aunt Liu picked up the chopsticks and put them away, trying to calm herself down. "Master, why do you want so much silver all of a sudden?"

And the amount of silver is exactly the same as the one Hu Niang asked for?

"Today, I received news that the Bicang Auction House will auction off a nourishing pill and a tonic ointment in three days."

"Nourishing pills can nourish the body. They are extremely effective in nourishing and conditioning the frail and sickly elderly, and for general aches and pains. This pill is just the right remedy for my mother's condition."

"The tonic ointment is for middle-aged and elderly people with leg problems and for conditioning after injuries. It's suitable for my leg injury."

Su Tinggui said, sighing deeply, "My leg has been injured repeatedly. If I continue to rest, I'm afraid I won't have a place in the court anymore."

"I need to recover quickly so I can attend court meetings."

"Hurry up and prepare the money. Don't delay the important matter."

Madam Qian, standing by, added, "Two thousand taels of silver is not enough!"

Su Jiaojiao came back to her senses and joined in the conversation, "Dad, I heard that when an auction house sells something, the highest bidder wins."

"The starting price for that pill is eight hundred taels per piece. If there are more bidders, the price will naturally be higher."

"That won't work!"

When Madam Qian heard this, her expression changed. "Bring an extra two thousand taels of silver. No matter what, our Su Mansion must bid for these two pills."

Another two thousand taels would mean she would have to prepare four thousand taels of silver.

There were exactly two thousand taels of silver in the mansion. Where could she get the remaining two thousand taels?

Aunt Liu's body seemed to have lost all its energy and went limp.

Half a cup of tea later, in the Nishang courtyard, Su Manman was lying on a rocking chair with her eyes closed, basking in the sun and drinking grape juice.

Qingluan came to her side at some point and whispered, "Miss, it's done."

"In order to keep the peace, Aunt Liu paid two thousand taels of silver to keep the secret."

"The mansion is short of silver now. In order to purchase the elixirs from the Bi Cang Auction House, the master asked Concubine Liu to prepare four thousand taels of silver."

"After giving it to Hu Niang, there are only two thousand taels of silver left in the account of the mansion. She is worried about how to raise the money."

Su Manman opened her eyes slightly, a smile showing at the corner of her lips, "She is quite generous, giving two thousand taels of silver right away."

"Miss, what should we do next?" Qingluan asked.

"The money in the Su Mansion belongs to my mother. How can I let that arsonist get away with it?"

Su Manman was silent for a moment, "Have someone keep an eye on us and find the right opportunity to get the banknote back."

"Yes."

She slept soundly in the sun.

Taohong also came over and whispered, "Miss, there's a message from Prince Qi's Mansion asking you to play chess."

Playing chess again.

This Qi Wang Ye Mo monopolizes her time every day.

"let's go."

She packed up and went out the back door.

Outside the gate, the green-tent carriage of Prince Qi's Mansion had been waiting for a long time.

The driver of the carriage is Zhuiyun.

Su Manman walked over and looked at him intently, "You look a lot like Zhuifeng?"

Zhuiyun was shocked and was afraid that she would tell fortunes for him. What if he turned out to be like Zhuifeng? What would he do?

Zhuiyun swallowed hard and agreed, "He and I grew up together. We are brothers."

"Oh!" She looked at Zhuiyun again, which made Zhuiyun feel a chill on his back.

"Do you have five hundred taels of silver?" she asked?

Zhuiyun shook his head, then nodded, "I have silver, but not that much."

"Oh!" She said nothing more and got into the carriage.

This is because he did not have enough money to pay for divination, so the fortune teller did not tell his fortune.

Could it be that he also had some disaster and she saw through it at a glance?

Zhuiyun was nervous, "Miss, His Highness is waiting on the third floor of Tingyue Tower."

Find a place nearby and play chess, not bad.

"it is good."

The carriage shuttled through the alleys and stopped at the side door of Tingyue Tower.

"Miss, to avoid being seen, we will enter through the side door." Zhuiyun explained.

"Row."

Su Manman got out of the car and followed Zhuiyun upstairs.

When she reached the door of the private room, she turned around and asked again, "Can you gather five hundred taels?"

Is this divination necessary?

Could it be that his problem is very serious?

Zhuiyun was panicking, "Miss, is there something terrible happening to me?"

Su Manman said nothing, "The secret cannot be revealed."

"That girl, does she want to tell fortunes for me?"

"I am not short of money, and this divination is not necessary."

"What does that girl mean?"

"I don't mean anything!"

Su Manman gave him a meaningful look, moved closer, and lowered her voice, "Guard Zhuiyun, there's a butterfly-shaped birthmark on your lower back."

Zhuiyun was so scared that his back stiffened. He took a step back and looked at Su Manman with horror and fear.

"Girl," he stammered, "Do you have a third eye..."

He was so scared that he covered his legs with his hands and completely lost his composure.

"What are you doing?" The door of the private room opened.

Ye Mo's eyes were as bright as torches when he saw the two of them standing so close to each other.

Zhuiyun put his hands between his legs, his expression strange and ugly.

"Your Highness..." Zhuiyun was so scared that he almost cried.
