Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

"Mom! Look at her. We've already backed down a bit, but she still has this attitude!"

Li gritted her teeth in anger and said, "If there is no explanation today, I will fight her to the death!"

The old princess was in a dilemma and her face became more wrinkled.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, isn't it just three thousand taels of silver?"

The old princess was furious and shouted, "When the salary from the court arrives, I will give you my share. When the three thousand taels are made up, we can settle the total."

Li was immediately unhappy. "How can that be! It will take me several years to get the money back. No, I must make this little thief return the banknote to me today!"

Li became anxious and reached out to pull Su Xuqing away.

"Second sister-in-law, I advise you not to do it, otherwise you will be the one who gets embarrassed in the end."

When Shen Xuanheng's voice was heard, Li paused and looked outside the door.

"Xiao Jiu, you came just in time. Your wife stole my banknotes, and I can't be her boss. You have to give me an explanation!"

Su Xuqing walked towards Shen Xuanheng holding the banknotes, and said with a wronged look on her face: "Husband, she wronged me, you can't believe her words!"

Shen Xuanheng reached out and held her hand, then smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry, I already know who took Second Sister-in-law's banknotes."

As he spoke, Shen Xuanheng glanced at Su Miner, who looked away guiltily, her heart beating wildly for several seconds.

Li looked suspicious, "Is it true? Then tell me who stole it."

"Before revealing the truth, why don't I tell my second sister-in-law a story? You will understand it after listening to it."

Shen Xuanheng smiled playfully and narrated eloquently, "Today, a piece of news reached the Ministry of Justice, saying that Duke Su and Zhao were defrauded of 10,000 taels of silver by a Taoist priest using a so-called 'treasure bowl' yesterday, which is the 10,000 taels that were just taken from our Zhennan Palace."

After hearing this, Su Min'er's face turned pale with anger. Zhao had lied to her last night, saying that the banknotes were used to choose a house. All her feelings had been cheated away by someone.

"But Duke Su and Zhao are obviously crazy about getting rich. They didn't realize it after being cheated. They really thought that the cornucopia in their hands could make more money with money, and it would become more and more... But now, they have no money on them. They can't make money even if they want to. If my second sister-in-law were them, how would she think of ways to make money at this time?"

Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Su Miner.

Seeing that she understood, Shen Xuanheng snapped his fingers and continued, "That's right, Duke Su has only two daughters, Qing'er has already drawn a clear line with him, and the only one who can raise money for them is Su Min'er."

Su Min'er's eyes suddenly became flustered, and she waved her hands quickly, "I didn't! I didn't!"

Shen Xuanheng smiled even more. "Duke Su couldn't make money out of the money you stole from my second sister-in-law, and found out he was cheated. But he was worried that the government couldn't catch the Taoist priest, so he chose to take the money you gave them and flee, leaving the capital overnight. I just heard from the doorman that you were restless today, wandering outside the gate repeatedly, and even sent people to look for your parents, right?"

Li's eyes were almost spitting fire at this moment. She slapped Su Min'er on the face and cursed fiercely: "You are such a traitor. You actually used my money to honor your parents? You are so filial! What a big deal! Do you know how many years I have saved those banknotes!"

Su Miner knelt on the ground in panic and begged for mercy, "Mother-in-law, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please forgive me!"

Li was so angry that she kicked her shoulder and said, "Forgive you? It's a misfortune for our family to marry a daughter-in-law like you. When my son recovers, I will take you to He Di as soon as possible!"

"No no no!"

Su Miner crawled over from the ground and hugged Li's legs tightly.

"Mom, I really know I was wrong. Please don't do this. If you drive me away, I won't be able to survive!"

"Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me! Let go!"

Li grabbed Su Miner's hair and threw her to the ground.

Su Xuqing looked at Su Miner begging for mercy humbly. She felt relieved, but at the same time, she felt that she deserved it. If she did too many bad things, she would eventually get punished.

When the old princess saw this scene, she sighed softly.

"Alright, alright, I've beaten them and scolded them, let's just let it go. Duke Su and Zhao are such bad people, they used their two daughters as tools to make money. This money can be used to draw a clear line between us and the Duke's Mansion. After all, Qing'er spent a lot of money to clear herself of any connection."

The old princess walked towards Su Min'er, pulled her up from the ground, and said with a stern face: "I will give you one more chance. Live a good life in the future and don't cause trouble again. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I understand!"

Su Min'er cried inconsolably, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Li was unhappy when she heard this, "Mother, forgiving her like this is too easy for her!"

The old princess hit her cane and said unhappily, "What do you want? Divorce her and marry someone else? Can you afford the betrothal gifts now? Do you know how much money it will cost to hold another wedding banquet? Wouldn't it cost several thousand taels in total?"

Li's face twitched slightly and she glared at Su Min'er fiercely.

"You spendthrift, don't even think about having a good life from now on!"

After saying these harsh words, Li turned around and left. Su Miner wiped her tears and hurriedly followed.

The old princess looked at them and shook her head helplessly.

"Well, it's getting late, you two should go back and get some rest."

"Then we'll go first. Mom, you should get some rest early."

Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng bowed and left the old princess's orchid room. After leaving the yard, Su Xuqing hugged Shen Xuanheng's arm and rubbed it hard.

Shen Xuanheng held her small chin with his free hand and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"hey-hey."

Su Xuqing smiled foolishly and said, "My dear husband, you just arrived just in time, otherwise my mother would have been very worried."

"Isn't it great?"

Shen Xuanheng smiled proudly and raised his chin.

"Great!"

Su Xuqing gave a thumbs up, then thought for a moment and said, "But how did you know that Duke Su was cheated? I was out all day with Miss Sun today, and I didn't hear about it."

"My husband is now an official in the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice is in charge of all the serious criminal cases in the world, so naturally he is more informed!"

Shen Xuanheng said this without blushing or beating his heart, and he spoke very seriously.

"I see."

The two walked hand in hand to the door of Room 4, and Su Xuqing finally remembered the question she always forgot to ask.

"By the way, sir, where did you get the 100,000 taels of silver to buy the meteorite?"

"hiss……"

Shen Xuanheng took a breath, he had forgotten about this matter.
