The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed

Chapter 66 Where to Stay at Night [Attention, Masters, I am about to start my performance]

Da Nian had just finished examining the man's body. After hearing the question, he shook his head at Su Qingwan and said, "No more."

Su Qingwan nodded, and asked the boy who was feeding her medicine to bring her a bottle and put the contents of the cup into it.

After giving Da Nian a few more instructions, she took the bottle back.

All the people in the pawnshop were led by Aunt Rong directly into the Marquis Chengping's Mansion, and the news was quickly delivered to the eldest lady.

"Madam, I saw clearly that it was the chief and third managers of Rongbao Pawnshop. They were all taken to Helin Courtyard."

After hearing this, Liu was a little unresponsive.

Didn't that vicious woman take her valuables out to pawn? Why did she bring the pawnbroker into the mansion again?

"Let's go and see what they are going to do?" Liu frowned.

Su Yunrou was also at her mother's place at the moment. After the man left, she asked, "Mother, what did the people from the third room do for the pawnshop?"

She knew that her mother had already taken action and had shown the three things to the third wife.

"This has nothing to do with us. Where were we talking about just now?" After being interrupted by the servant, the aunt could not remember what she was talking about.

"Mother, you said that you met your fourth sister and an unfamiliar female relative in the White Horse Temple." Su Yunrou reminded.

"Oh, yes!" Liu continued, "In fact, this matter is mainly because your aunt is unhappy, but I think it's nothing more than your cousin being a little playful. This kid is really something. If he really likes Zhou Linlu, he should just tell me and I will give her to him directly. Why make a fool of himself at the critical moment?"

Liu was unwilling, but thinking of Madam Liu and Zhang Jueping, she ordered people to send gifts over, but she didn't expect that they were all returned directly.

Do they want to cut off ties with me?

"Mother, I'm not in a position to discuss my cousin's affairs." Su Yunrou lowered her head.

She and Liu had originally agreed that after the Taolin Poetry Festival, the three sisters would take Su Qingwan to the White Horse Temple.

But after the three of them were taken away by the people from the Dali Temple, they no longer had the chance to take Su Qingwan to the White Horse Temple. They thought that the plan could not be accomplished, but unexpectedly, Su Qingwan went there by herself. Not only did the plan not succeed, but Zhang Jueping's reputation was tarnished.

Liu sighed, not knowing what to say.

The mother and daughter could only chat about other things, but after only a few words, a maid ran in hurriedly and said loudly:

"Madam, those people from the pawnshop are moving things out!"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Liu stood up suddenly, thinking she had misheard.

Su Yunrou also looked at the old woman who rushed in in disbelief.

Is this someone from the third room pawning something big?

"The Third Madam and the others said they wanted to raise money, so we had no choice but to pawn our things," the old woman said again.

"Bastard!" Liu cursed angrily, stood up and walked out.

If the news that the Marquis' Mansion had pawned items got out, the Mansion would lose all its reputation.

Su Yunrou also called her maid to follow.

They walked very quickly and soon arrived in front of Helin Courtyard. They saw a lot of things placed in the small garden outside Helin Courtyard, including tables, chairs, benches, screens, ornaments, etc.

This situation looks not much different from moving house.

Aunt Rong was still directing them to gather together the items whose prices had already been estimated, so that it would be easier for the pawnshop people to take them away later.

Third Madam Jiang watched all this with a sad face.

Hey! Life in the capital city is much more lively than in Mo'nan!

But in the eyes of Liu and Su Yunrou, this scene seemed to be her worry, which made them both suspicious.

Is it true that the Jiang family can’t even come up with 100,000 taels of silver?

"Third brother and sister, what are you doing?"

Despite thinking this, my aunt still came over and asked.

Mrs. Jiang sighed and said, "Pawn things!"

"Yes, Madam, if we are asked to come up with 100,000 taels of silver before sunset tomorrow, we have to find a way! Now we can only pawn these dead things to see how much money we can raise. If it is not enough, we can pawn things from other courtyards." Aunt Rong took over the conversation and said directly.

"Do you want to be the head of other courtyards?" Liu's voice rose a few notches.

Aunt Rong glanced at the eldest lady and spoke in an anxious tone.

"Oh! Madam, look at what you are saying. We can't come up with so much money now, so we have to pawn things first. Our fourth daughter is the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, and the three masters of the Marquis' Mansion have not separated. We are all one family. Now when it comes to exchanging silver, of course we have to pawn everything we can."

"Our madam has just discussed it. We will first take over the Helin Courtyard, and then the first and second masters' courtyards. If that's still not enough, we can only take over the things in the old marquis' courtyard as well."

Aunt Rong didn't look tired when she spoke, and she told them at an incredibly fast speed what the third room wanted to do.

The pawnshop manager nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Since he became the head shopkeeper, he had only done such a business of pawning the entire family once, but that was seventeen or eighteen years ago.

It was rare for him to meet a family that pawned so many things at once after such a long time.

"Don't worry, Madam. Our pawnshop has plenty of cash, is honest and trustworthy, and has a good reputation. We will definitely give you a reasonable price."

Madam Liu was so angry that she fell backwards!

Is this a matter of offering a reasonable price?

Liu glared at him fiercely, which made the head shopkeeper dumbfounded, wondering what he had said wrong.

"Stop, we don't want these things anymore." Liu shouted sternly.

She didn't expect that the people in the third room had such a trick. It was really hateful.

The people who were moving things over there stopped and looked at each other, not knowing whether they should continue.

"You move your things, and we will continue to pawn your stuff." The third lady instructed those people.

So the people here continued to estimate the price.

"Third brother's wife, you are fooling around!" Liu scolded.

"Sister-in-law, Qingwan hasn't come back yet, so I can't stop even if I want to!" Jiang looked at Liu apologetically. Since it concerns her daughter's reputation, some things are better kept to herself.

"The matter can still be discussed, but don't touch the things you have bought at home. These chairs and benches together are worth at most one thousand taels. But those people want one hundred thousand, and it will take them forever to get enough money." Liu reminded.

If you want to prepare the ransom, Jiang, you will always reveal your flaws.

"Yes, then what should we do? One hundred thousand taels! I can't take out so much money." Jiang looked at Madam Liu pitifully.

What could she do? She was helpless! After all these things were pawned, where would she stay at night?
