"Master! Master! There are still a few that haven't been burned. Let's change them again!"

Zhao found four or five banknotes that were not burned among the rescued ones, and her expression immediately changed from worry to joy.

Duke Su heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He took the banknote with trembling hands and held it to his chest. "But why did it catch fire just now? Did I do something wrong?"

Zhao racked her brains, and then an idea flashed in her mind, "Master, is it because you asked me to support you when you were doing the Golden Rooster Stand that the Cornucopia was unhappy?"

"It's possible, absolutely possible!"

Duke Su suddenly felt that he had found the reason, and then he cheered himself up and planned to try again.

But when he picked up the treasure bowl, he found that the place where the treasure bowl was burned by fire had a slight luster. He scratched it lightly with his fingernails, and the color of the iron block was revealed.

Duke Su was struck by lightning. Unconvinced, he scraped the treasure bowl several times with his hands, and more and more iron sheets were exposed.

"Ah! Damn liar!"

No matter how stupid Duke Su was, he knew at this moment that he had been fooled. This was not a bullshit treasure bowl at all. It was clearly an iron basin with a layer of gold paint on it.

The 12,000 taels of silver that had disappeared earlier had clearly been taken away by that stinky Taoist priest, who then sneaked away pretending to go to the toilet!

Zhao also reacted at this moment, and her eyes went dark. "We were cheated! Our 10,000 taels were cheated!"

Duke Su was so angry that he threw the treasure bowl to the ground. The pure iron treasure bowl hit the ground and splashed a series of sparks, as if it was making a ruthless mockery.

"Call the police! I want to call the police!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao quickly grabbed Duke Su's sleeve and said worriedly, "Master, that stinky Taoist priest knew your identity, but he still deceived you. He might have already left the capital with the banknotes. If we catch the Taoist priest when we go to the government, it will be good. If we don't catch him...how are we going to pay back the three thousand taels of silver to my mother-in-law?"

Duke Su was stunned for a moment, as if he had been hit by a club, and was on the verge of collapse.

"What should we do now?"

Zhao looked at the few remaining banknotes in Duke Su's hand and said angrily, "Master, we still have 1,000 taels of silver in our hands. Why don't we leave the capital and live in a small place where no one knows us, and start a small business. If we make money in the future, we will return it to Min'er. If we don't make money, we will regard it as Min'er's pension for us."

Duke Su nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That's fine, anyway, Min'er is enjoying a good life in the Zhen'an Palace, and won't need our care in the future, so it's better for everyone if she leaves like this."

When the time comes to make a decision, Duke Su and Zhao left the capital overnight without hesitation.

An hour later.

In front of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Su Min'er waited and waited but Duke Su and Zhao did not come to give her money, and she became increasingly uneasy.

"What's wrong with mom and dad? Why haven't they come yet?"

Su Min'er frowned, and began to doubt in her heart. Could it be that these two people had cheated her of her money and ran away?

But that shouldn't be the case. They just got 12,000 taels of silver today. How could they possibly cheat the money out of her?

The concierge saw Su Min'er wandering at the bottom of the stairs and yawned. He walked carefully to the bottom of the stairs and said, "Madam, why don't you go to rest? It's almost three o'clock in the morning."

Su Min'er's face was tense, she gritted her teeth and said, "I know, I'll go back and rest right away. If you see my parents coming tonight, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

The doorman responded quickly, and Su Min'er left, looking back every few steps.

The next day.

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, there has been no sun or moon in the mansion since then. Last night, Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng, who were in love, woke up in each other's arms. Su Xuqing saw that it was already dawn and wanted to get out of bed to get dressed, but she found her thighs were very sore. She stood up, shook a few times, and fell down on the edge of the bed.

The not-so-small noise woke Shen Xuanheng up. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that it was already bright outside, then he suddenly pulled back the quilt.

"Oh no! I am now the Minister of Justice. I should get up early in the morning to attend court!"

Seeing him hurriedly getting out of bed and putting on his clothes, Su Xuqing said unhappily, "I let you do whatever you want last night. Now you're worried, right?"

Shen Xuanheng had a sad look on his face, and after thinking it over, he said seriously: "In that case, let's go to bed early tonight and sleep early."

"Bah, I won't go to bed with you earlier."

Su Xuqing's cheeks turned slightly red and she spat softly.

Shen Xuanheng put on his clothes in a hurry and was about to leave without even having breakfast, but was forced to eat breakfast because Su Xuqing threatened him to abstain from sex.

After Shen Xuanheng left home, Su Xuqing had some free time. She was thinking about doing business with Sun Youwei, so she wrote a letter and asked Yinhuan to deliver it.

"Ma'am, let me do the errands."

Xue Tao...Oh no, now she should be called Taozi.

Since Xu Younian's death, Xue Tao has disappeared from the world, and the only one left is Taozi, the maid in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

Taozi dealt with some of her personal affairs in the past two days, and then returned to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion last night.

Knowing that Taozi had once assassinated Su Xuqing, Yinhuan had always had a prejudice against her. Although she didn't say it, she hardly spoke to Taozi.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to destroy trust, but hard to rebuild it.

So when Taozi saw that Su Xuqing had something to ask Yinhuan, she wanted to rush to get it done to restore her image in Yinhuan's heart.

Yinhuan took the letter and pursed her lips, then took a step back, and without even looking at her, she said, "No, I can deliver it, too."

"Hey, Yinhuan, you are the Madam's personal maid, much more capable than an ordinary maid like me. How can we let you take care of such a trivial matter!"

Taozi approached Yinhuan with a smile and suddenly reached out to tickle her armpit.

"Ouch, it's itchy, what are you doing!"

Yinhuan giggled and relaxed her guard with the hand holding the letter. Taozi seized the opportunity to snatch it away and ran out.

"Hey, you're still a little short of stealing my job."

Yinhuan wiped away the tears from her laughter and wanted to chase after him, but Taozi did have some skills in martial arts, and she ran as fast as the wind.

Yinhuan stamped her feet angrily, "Why is this guy like this?"

Seeing that Yinhuan was still angry with Taozi, Su Xuqing couldn't help but smile, but she didn't want to interfere. She let the little girls solve their own problems. She was a person who owed a lot of debts and just wanted to make money.

"oops!"

Su Xuqing slammed the table and raised her eyes angrily.

"Damn it, I forgot to ask my husband where he got the money to buy such an expensive meteorite."
