"Well, it turned out to be you who stole my banknotes!"

Su Xuqing had just walked to the door of the fourth room when she heard Li yelling at the top of her voice. She raised her head and looked at Li, and found that the bitch and Su Min'er were blocking the door.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who stole your banknotes?"

"You still say no! What is that in your hand?!"

Li's face was cold and her tone was sharp and harsh.

At this moment, Su Min'er was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a look of ecstasy. Originally, she framed Su Xuqing and was worried that Su Xuqing would not admit it, but she didn't expect that she would catch the person red-handed!

Su Xuqing put the banknotes into her arms, and then said coldly: "You are talking nonsense, of course what I have in my hand is a banknote, but what does this have to do with you?"

"Shameless! The worst kind of shame!"

Li was so anxious that she jumped up and down, "I have never seen a person as shameless as you. You stole my banknotes and asked what it had to do with me!"

Su Xuqing frowned slowly and said unhappily: "I say again, this is my banknote, not yours, and I didn't steal it from you!"

"I bother!"

Li spat fiercely, then pointed at Su Xuqing's face and said, "Don't fart here. I've heard that in order to distance yourself from your parents yesterday, you took out 10,000 taels from the first and third wives and the old princess and handed them over. You're already broke! How could you have such a thick stack of banknotes!"

“I certainly earned it.”

"joke."

As soon as Su Xuqing finished speaking, Li said impatiently: "What ability do you have as a woman to earn so much money in a day? Don't you worry about your tongue being blown away by the wind when you brag?"

"Believe it or not, stop making trouble here. If you keep talking nonsense, I will ask the old princess to come out. Don't regret it when you are beaten and punished."

Su Xuqing naturally didn't believe that Li had lost the banknote. She thought that Li was greedy for money and wanted to seize the payment she had just received, so she brought up the old princess to scare her.

Unexpectedly, when the old princess was mentioned, Li immediately agreed.

"Okay! Now that you've said that, let's go find the old princess and ask her to judge the situation!"

Su Xuqing frowned slightly, then snorted coldly, "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Since you don't mind the trouble, I will accompany you to the end today."

Su Xuqing and Li both felt that they were right, and went to the old princess's orchid room in a rage. Su Min'er followed Li guiltily, hoping that she could successfully put the blame on Su Xuqing.

The old princess had just finished dinner and was about to wash up and go to bed. When she saw Li come in with a dark face, followed by Su Xuqing, she knew that the two families were making trouble again.

The old princess sighed and looked at Li, "What are you doing now?"

Li showed dissatisfaction on her face and said confidently: "Mother, you are too biased. It was Su Xuqing who made the mistake this time, and you didn't ask about it."

"This is impossible."

The old princess shook her head. "Qing'er is the most obedient and sensible among the wives. How could she make a mistake?"

Su Xuqing smiled brightly upon hearing this, and quickly hugged the old princess' arm and said, "Mother is still sensible."

Li was so angry at the old princess' attitude that she said very quickly, "Mother, three thousand taels of silver notes were stolen from me today, and then I found out that it was Su Xuqing who stole it. When I found her, she was counting the money!"

"Mom, don't listen to her. The banknotes I have are earned from my business."

"Impossible, mother, can you believe her lies? What kind of business can earn a stack of silver bills in a day?"

Li shouted at the top of her voice, as if the louder she spoke, the more reasonable she seemed.

"Alright, alright, shut up now."

The old princess was almost deafened by her noise. She rubbed her ears and looked at Li, "You said Qing'er stole your banknotes. Do you have any evidence?"

Li was anxious, "Mother, the evidence is in her arms. If you don't believe me, just count and there must be three thousand taels."

Upon hearing this, the old princess looked at Su Xuqing and said slowly, "Qing'er, do you have three thousand taels of silver on you?"

Su Xuqing was stunned, thinking that Li had a good eye. She could estimate how much banknotes she had taken just by looking at her.

"Mom, I do have three thousand taels on me, but this banknote is not hers. I earned it!"

After hearing this, Li sneered, "Listen, mother, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? I lost three thousand taels, and she just happened to earn three thousand taels. Is this possible?"

"That's right! She must have stolen it!"

Su Min'er was so happy at the moment. Although she didn't know where Su Xuqing's banknotes came from, she was unlucky enough that the banknotes she had on her were exactly the same amount as the one Li had lost. There was no way to explain it...

The old princess must believe in Su Xuqing in her heart, but this matter is really too coincidental. If she doesn't figure it out clearly, Li will definitely not let it go.

"Qing'er, since your second sister-in-law doesn't believe me, then just tell me how you earned the money you have. If you tell me clearly, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

Su Xuqing and the old princess had already established a trusting relationship, so she naturally believed what she said, so she patiently said, "Ms. Sun from the Taifu Mansion came to me today and said that she wanted to open a shop to do business. She needed an attractive business to start with, so she invited me to join the business and sell the medicine she used to remove pockmarks for the young lady and the little princess. The three thousand taels is the payment she gave me."

"absurd!"

Li put her hands on her waist and said, "Ms. Sun from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion is the daughter of an official. Why would she do such a lowly business? And she came to you today just to tell you that she wanted to open a shop. She gave you the payment for the goods before the matter was even started?"

"This……"

The old princess also felt that it was not quite reasonable, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak for Su Xuqing.

Su Xuqing curled her lips and said, "If you don't believe me, I can ask Miss Sun to come and testify."

"Haha, forget it." Li's face was gloomy. "Everyone knows that you and Miss Sun are in cahoots. If you and she agree to collude in the testimony, I won't be able to get my banknote back."

After that, Li looked at the old princess, "Mother, you have to treat everyone equally. Little Nine's wife's words are full of loopholes and she can't justify herself at all. You have to make the decision for me."

The old princess had a headache. On the one hand, she believed that Su Xuqing would not steal. On the other hand, what Li said made sense. For a moment, she didn't know how to deal with it.

Su Min'er saw this and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "How about this, let Su Xuqing hand over the banknotes first, and if she really does do business with Miss Sun in the future, we will return the banknotes to her!"

Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's fine too!"

"What you think is beautiful!"

How could Su Xuqing not know what kind of people these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are? Giving the money to them would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it would never come back!
