"Old Princess, my dear mother-in-law, since you are here, please judge for yourself. Qing'er is really going too far!"

As soon as Duke Su saw the old princess, he immediately started to complain, wanting to use the old princess's power to teach Su Xuqing a lesson, and then force her to go to the Queen Mother to plead for mercy and take back her decision.

"shut up."

The old princess showed disgust and stopped him coldly, "I heard everything behind the door just now. I know right from wrong. How can you be a parent like this in this world? You made a mistake and you want your child to take the blame for it. You should know your limit when it comes to shamelessness!"

"This……"

Duke Su and Madam Zhao looked very ugly and embarrassed. "Mother-in-law, what you said is too harsh."

The old princess slammed her cane on the ground. "If you don't do anything, don't blame me for being harsh. You two should listen carefully. From today on, you are not allowed to appear near the Zhennan Palace, and you are not allowed to go to Qing'er to cause trouble. If you do, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing what the old princess said, Duke Su no longer cared about saving face and his face immediately fell.

"What the old princess said doesn't make sense. No matter what, Qing'er is my daughter. Even if she marries into the Zhennan Palace, she still has to take care of me in my old age. No matter what, I am right. Do you think the old princess wants to sever our bloodline with just one sentence?"

The old princess was furious when such shameless words were spoken.

"Tell me the number."

Duke Su frowned, "What do you mean?"

The old princess looked at him coldly and said calmly, "I'll give you some money. From now on, you and Qing'er will draw a clear line. Anyway, you have no place to live now, and you are short of money, right? What do you think? Do you agree?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao hurriedly approached Duke Su and said in a hurried tone: "Master, I think it's feasible."

The Duke's Mansion has now been taken back by the Emperor, and all the attached assets have been confiscated. If Duke Su does not accept the old princess's conditions, he will not even be able to eat a hot meal tonight.

"Okay, then I want this number."

As he spoke, Duke Su stretched out a finger.

"One thousand taels?"

The old princess nodded slowly, "You guys still have some conscience. This matter is settled."

Duke Su sneered and shook his head, "You are wrong, old princess, it is ten thousand taels."

"Ten thousand taels? Why don't you just go and rob it!"

Su Xuqing was furious and turned to look at the old princess, "Mother, please ignore them. Let them make a fuss here and see what they can come up with."

The old princess frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said loudly: "Okay, ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels, written in black and white, signed and sealed. If you dare to disturb Qing'er after taking the silver, then I will take the document to the emperor and let you two spend the rest of your lives in prison!"

"mother!"

Su Xuqing was immediately anxious. How could the Zhennan Palace have so much spare money now? This ten thousand taels of silver might drain all the savings of several families!

"No need to say more."

The old princess knew that Su Xuqing didn't want to embarrass her, so she raised her hand to interrupt her and said calmly, "The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devil is hard to deal with. I'll pay you 10,000 taels to get your leave. It's worth it."

Su Xuqing's nose felt sore when she heard this, and she was deeply moved. The old princess treated her like her own daughter.

"You wait at the door. Qing'er, come in with me to get the money."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuqing helped the old princess into the house.

The old princess first returned to her orchid room and took out a stack of silver bills from a box. After counting, there were about five thousand taels. Then she ordered the servants to call the wives of the first and third wives over.

"Qin'er, Luomei... Qing'er..."

As soon as the old princess opened her mouth, Bai Luomei, the daughter-in-law of the third room, smiled and handed a few banknotes to the old princess, "Mother, my sister-in-law and I know about Qing'er's affairs. We are family and don't talk about different things. Just take it and use it."

"Yes, mother, just use it."

The eldest daughter-in-law, Gu Qin, also stuffed the banknotes into the old princess' hands.

"Good kids, you are all good kids."

The old princess felt relieved with tears in her eyes.

Su Xuqing choked up and said, "Thank you, eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, for your help. I will remember this kindness in my heart and will return the money to you in due time."

Gu Qin smiled when she heard that. "Okay, okay, why are you still crying? Just take it and use it. You don't have to pay it back. Besides, you are a girl, how can you earn so much money?"

"That's right. Live a peaceful life. It would be best if Xiaojiu and I could have a boy or a girl. When we get old, we can let the baby take care of us aunts. After all, we can't count on the eldest young master from the second house."

Bai Luomei snorted softly, her disdain for the second wife evident in her words.

Su Xuqing bit her lip gently, smiling with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, sisters-in-law, I will definitely be able to cure my husband's illness, and then give birth to a few children to take care of you in your old age."

The old princess wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Let's go and redeem Qing'er."

In front of the palace, the old princess had someone draw up a document, which clearly stated in black and white that ten thousand taels of silver would be paid to the Duke's family today. From now on, Su Xuqing would have nothing to do with Duke Su and the Zhao family.

After both parties confirmed that everything was correct, one handed over the money and the other signed their signature, thus severing ties from then on.

After pressing his fingerprints, Duke Su put the banknotes in his arms, smiling, "Okay, okay, with this money I can buy another big house."

Zhao was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears. "Come on, let's go have a good meal first, and then go buy a new house tomorrow morning."

After getting the money, the two of them stopped arguing and making a fuss, and left happily.

"what!"

The old princess despised the two men's behavior of selling their daughter. She folded the receipt and gave it to Su Xuqing, and then told her to keep it carefully. If Duke Su did not admit it in the future, she should take the receipt to the emperor for justice.

Su Xuqing naturally put it away carefully, as this was all the good intentions of the old princess.

Back in the four-room courtyard, Su Xuqing covered her chest with the document and felt a sudden sense of relief in her heart, as if a little devil that had been weighing on her shoulders had been pulled out.

However, this relaxed mood did not last long, because she knew that in order to cut off ties with Duke Su, the old princess had emptied the family fortune.

Su Xuqing couldn't accept this expense with peace of mind.

"No, I have to think of a way to earn back the money and return it to my mother and sisters-in-law."

At this moment, Su Xuqing thought of Sun Youwei's request for cooperation with her to make money, and she began to look forward to it.

Outside the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Shen Xuanheng stood in the shadow of the street wall, his expression as cold as an iceberg that had not melted for thousands of years. He saw clearly what had happened outside the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion before.
