Chapter 325 Liu's Suspicion
"Madam, don't you like those things very much? Why do you want to pawn them?" Madam Xu asked cautiously.
In the past, old Mrs. Kang would wear the things inside from time to time, but she seldom wore them as she got older. However, she was also asked to keep the things well, saying that they would be kept as burial objects.
"I am old now, and it is no longer appropriate for me to use the things in that box. Even if I give it to my younger generation, the style is old and there is no need to make new ones. It is better to sell it. Go quickly and make a living from it."
Old Kang was afraid that he would regret it, so he closed his eyes and waved his hand.
She got those things after Li died, and she kept them well over the years. She used to wear them on big occasions from time to time, to show off her sisterhood with Li in front of outsiders, and to remind her of Li in front of the old marquis, winning praise for her virtue.
But looking at them, Old Kang felt that he had trampled Li into the mud, and he felt very happy.
But it's a good thing to use these things to restore my grandson's health now.
Madam Xu took the box and went out personally. When she came back, she had 50,000 taels of silver notes on her.
"Madam, the money is all here. We could have pawned more, but the pawnshop owner lowered the price, so we only pawned it for 50,000 taels," said Madam Xu.
"That's enough! Those things are decades old. Being able to pawn them for 50,000 taels is already much better than I expected."
Old Kang looked at the banknotes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then, old lady, I'll go find the second lady." Nanny Xu didn't dare to waste time and said quickly.
"Go ahead, accompany her to the Salesian Bureau."
"Yes!"
Nanny Xu quickly walked out of Rong'an Hall and handed the banknote to Xiaokang.
Liu was just passing by the garden. She saw Aunt Xu's hurried back and asked curiously, "Why is she in such a hurry?"
Nowadays, the gatekeepers have been replaced by people from Qinglin Village, and Tinglan Courtyard has no idea who has come to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Eh? Didn't the eldest aunt know? Today, the second aunt invited a Taoist priest to the Marquis' Mansion to perform a ritual to summon Su Yueqi's soul. Aunt Xu probably went to take a look."
Su Qingwan said behind Liu.
Liu was startled and glared at Su Qingwan in dissatisfaction, "Are you walking silently?"
"Yes, my steps are light, so there is no sound, unlike my aunt, whose steps are heavy, like thunder."
Su Qingwan said bluntly.
Liu was so angry that she knew she couldn't win the argument against Su Qingwan, so she ignored her.
However, when he thought of Xiaokang asking a Taoist priest to summon Su Yueqi's soul, he smiled coldly.
Su Yueqi cannot be awakened by just summoning his spirit. He was poisoned, and even the genius doctor's apprentice couldn't find out what the poison was. No one in this world can save Su Yueqi.
In this way, it would not be in vain that she spent a lot of money to find the tea herbs from the Western Regions. It was a pity that they were out of stock. If she could still buy some, she would definitely send some to the farm so that Hua Jiaoniang could pass away peacefully. Now, she could only think of other ways.
All the things Xiaokang had done today were in vain. Her son was killed by Xiaokang's witchcraft, and she also let Xiaokang experience the fate of having no children to see her off in her later years.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you! I'll go and take a look myself." Liu snorted coldly and walked towards the second room.
Su Qingwan naturally followed. She also wanted to take a look. Just now someone came back and told her that Chan Xuanzi asked Xiaokang to take out 12,000 taels of silver and donate it to the Charity Bureau.
She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so she had to look carefully to make sure that the money could really reach the hands of the Charity Bureau.
"What the eldest aunt said is right. We should go and take a look, lest the second aunt makes a mistake and buries something in the soil that shouldn't be buried."
Walking behind Liu, Su Qingwan's voice came faintly, making Liu's heart tighten.
Could it be that what Xiaokang was going to do was aimed at their eldest son’s family?
"Why did the eldest aunt stop? Did you also know that the second aunt has been in contact with the Taoist priest? I heard from the people in the stable that Yang Laoliu has been serving the Taoist priest all the time!"
Su Qingwan spread false information. She didn't care whether Liu would believe her or not. She just wanted to make her suspicious, and that was enough!
In this case, I believe that Liu and Xiaokang will definitely have a big fight, and there will always be casualties in the fight. She herself is just a fisherman sitting on the fishing platform, waiting for the harvest.
Liu turned around and looked at Su Qingwan, her expression gloomy and a little twisted. She told herself not to think too much about it, maybe it was just a coincidence.
But her son's life was at stake, how could she not think more about it?
Especially since Su Yunrou's position as princess was inexplicably demoted to a concubine by the emperor, this insult made both her and Yunrou feel embarrassed.
The root cause of this matter has been found. It turns out that it was Xiaokang who was causing all the trouble!
"What are you looking at me for, Aunt?"
"I just asked you not to follow me. I feel upset when I see you!" Liu hated Xiaokang, but she also didn't like the people from the third house.
"Being upset is a disease. Why don't you follow the example of your second aunt and give me 10,000 taels of silver? I'll go to the palace and invite a genius doctor to come over and help you see what's wrong with you?"
Su Qingwan smiled and spoke sincerely, and it was obvious that she wanted to piss Liu off to death.
Liu was really angry with her, but she knew that going to the second house was the important thing to do now, so she snorted at Su Qingwan and walked forward quickly.
Seeing that the oil had been almost poured, Su Qingwan also walked slowly behind.
When Liu went to the second room, she happened to meet Nanny Xu and Nanny Ji.
"Where are you going?" Liu asked.
Aunt Xu was afraid of causing trouble, so she bowed and replied, "Go do something for the old lady."
When Liu heard this, she knew that Aunt Xu didn't want to tell her, but this made her want to know even more. What exactly were they going to do?
"Is there something that can't be said openly? Why are you hiding it?" Liu asked with a stern face.
Madam Xu was immediately in a dilemma. She really couldn't say that she wanted to give away 12,000 taels of silver.
If the eldest lady knew about this, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause!
"Madam, this is the old lady's private matter, I can't tell you."
This made Liu even more suspicious.
Nanny Ji was in a hurry to leave again, as the matter of going to the Charity Bureau could not be delayed, so she gently tugged at Nanny Xu's sleeve, signaling her to hurry up.
"The old lady is my mother-in-law. Is there anything that only the second daughter-in-law can know, but that I, the eldest daughter-in-law, shouldn't know?" Liu was even more dissatisfied.
"This……"
Madam Xu didn't know how to answer for a moment, because Liu was still the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Are you going out, Madam Xu? Why are you still standing here? I am going out too, so why don't you come with me?"
Su Qingwan's voice sounded at the right time, and it sounded like heavenly music to Aunt Xu's ears.
"Fourth Miss, I will leave now."
Aunt Xu didn't look at Liu's expression, she just walked straight towards Su Qingwan.
